zone of the shrewdest things ever done
by criminal occurred right here in Wash
ington many years ago" said William
Dickson, yesterday, 10 a group OF friends.
'At the time | speak of Jim Moylan kept
a place on the avenue near Sixth street,
and a young man named Conroy was en-
ployed by him. One day a man came n
and asked CCnToy If re knew any of tho
officials over at the Baltimore and Poto-

Conroy that nc had met HIM once at Nc

The outlook for the south.

When President Spencer of the Southern
railway returned to Washington the other
day from a trip through the south. he gave
to the newspapers his Impressions of the
south's future Among other things he
said: THE south is turning her attention
more and more to manufacturing and to
agricultural products other than cotton.
The result is more Independence and less
debt for the southern farmer and a larger
Investment Of capital at home, as well as a
greater influx of foreign capital. The
great drawback to the southern farmer
heretofore has been the almost universal
pledging Of his cotton crop before the seeds
were fairly sprouted. He IS less n debt
than IN former years. ana therefore in bet
ter shape to carry on operations. The fact
that the southern farmer raised more corn.
bacon, and provisions last year than ever
before has placed HIM this season. not
withstanding the low price of cotton in
better position financially than the farmer
of any other section of the country. Not
only does he owe less money now than
here tofore. but he win owe less and less
each year under this new policy"
President Spencer IS 2. southern man. and
while he seeks to make the railroad system
under his direction as profitable as posi-
BILE there is no doubt that he is generally
interested IN building up the south. In
fact, he is well aware that the prosperity
of his railway s dependent upon the pros
perty of the south He is, therefore.
close observer Of what changes are taking
place in the southerp states, and he IL ,sses
no opportunity to encourage whatever he
believes viii tend to assist the south's de-
velopment
1t Is gratifying that he finds that tho
southern farmers are to q greater extent
than ever before producing their food
crops and that the southern people are put
ting their money into manufacturing en-
terprises. That they are doing these
things shows that they are now on the
right track, and that they have the prom
.se of a very prosperous future.
1t is undoubtedly true that the southern
farmers, Notwithstanding the low price Of
cotton, are better off than the farmers Of
the north. They are practically ont of
debt and can see their way clear to max
ing a good living and keeping out of debt
Indeed, with thrift and the exercise of
coed business judgment there IS no reason
why southern farmers should not get
ahead in the world rapidly. 1t is certain
that many of them are not only getting
their homes N a very comfortable condi-
ton, but are making money. 1t is a safe
prediction that the south will be the most
prosperous part Of the union within ten
years.

The OH Cemetery.

The movement OF the city council look
ing 10 the Improvement Of the old cemc-
terry on South Broad street meets, is
safe TO say. with very general approval
For long time It has been the desire Of
the people OF this city that something
should be done 10 make the place pre-
senta5Ie. The tombs are falling 10 pieces
the walls are broken in places and che
grounds have an unkemDt appearance.
Why SHOULDN'T the cemetery be turned into
a pretty park2 Can any one give a good
reason why it should not?
There are few people. having relatives
buried there. who have always objected to
any radical changes that have been pro-
posed. Their objections are wholly Of
sentimental character. The city's prop0-
sltion. however, to rebury at Bonaventure
tho remains that stilI occupy graves in The
old cemetery ought TO be acceptable. II
the remains are removed now they Will
certainly be uudisturbed in the new rest
ing place long after all sentiment in re-
1pect TO them has disappeared. but if they
are left IN the old cemetery it win not be
many years before the tombs will be de-
molished and the graves leveled without
regard TO the bodies that occupy them. If
this matter IS handled IN way that the
feelings OF no one VIII be wounded II is
probable that the consent Of all inter
ested parties TO the removal of the bodies
can be obtained.
Christ church claims part of the ceme-
terry lot. There is 10 reason why the
church's claim should not be rccogni zed
If 1t be well founded. There should be
no present or ultimate purpose to de-
prive any one Of any right, nor should
there be at the present time any plans FOR
utilizing the ground. The removal of the
old wall and the max ng of a pretty little
park out of the grounds would satisfy the
public. If Christ church should desire to
utilize It's part Of the ground at some fu-
ture time it could do so, and the city
would have the same privilege with respect
to its holding.
There are. of course, some difficulties
in the way Of doing what the city council
has planned to do. but they are not insur-
mountable. BY tact and persistence they
can be overcome, and the chairman of the
committee that has charge OF the matter
has these qualities.

The main argument OF the silverites for
che free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at the ratio OF l6 TO J Is that there has
been a very extraordinary decline in the
prices OF products since the demonetizl-
tion Of silver and that the decline is due
wholly TO the fact that silver is demone-
tied. But = ;.ssi4 argument is correct

The prices of pork and beef are high.
and they are steadily rising. It looks as
if the price Of beef would soon be as high

We think the true reason is that the

But II the argument Of the silverites is
correct the price Of beef should be much
below what il IS.
II the silverltes could show that there
IS a scarcity of wheat and cotton, and
that Notwithstanding the scarcity, the
prices Of those articles remain low. they
would have an argument that would ap-
peal strongly to the common sense Of the
people, but what are the facts? Is there
not more cotton and wheat than there
is an active demand for? II there is.

main relatively low even If a silver stand

And why is it that the commercial
value CT silver is only about half what
its value is when coined into

has been an extraordinary pro-
duction Of silver within the last two
or three years, owing to the discovery of
new silver mines and the cheaper meth

They WIN Pay Under protest.

1t is pretty certain that those who pay
the income tax win do so under protest
a suit has already been begun to have the
question as to whether such an unequal
and unjust law. as the income tax law
now is. IS constitutional. Four of the
judges having held that the law in its en-
tirety is unconstitutional the great major
ity of those liable for the tax will feel
justified in agreeing with them, especially
since many of the very rich men. against
whom the law was directed, will practi-
ally escape the income tax burden.
\ point has been raised by shrewd law
yers relative to railroads that will likely
cut down the income tax of many roads.
The point is that great many railroads
are operated as leased lines for which
rent is paid in the shape of dividends to
the stockholders. These dividends are
rent arising from real estate. it is claimed,
and hence. cannot be taxed under the SUI
prene courts decision.
No doubt a great many such points viii
be raised and the lawyers are likely to
profit largely by the tangle in which the
supreme court has put the whole income
tax business.

The senboard,s Compiolnt.

The president Of the Seaboard Air Line
railroad thinks the usefulness Of the in
terstate commerce commission is about
ended, because II granted the Southern
railways petition TO be allowed to cut its
rates for a long haul without reducing its
rates between intermediate points. The
Seaboerds complaint will not arouse a
great deal of sympathy, except among
its immediate friends. The granting Of
the Southern's petition is practically an
announcement by the interstate commerce
commission that the Seaboard is endeav-
oring to get business by unfair means.
What the people want is not cut rates.
but stable rates. and rates which do not
give one city or one community an ad-
vantage over another If we are to have
the interstate commerce commission 1t
ought to have the power to prevent the
cutting Of rates or the granting OF draw
backs or rebates. The kind of cut throat
railroading that is charged against the
Seaboard is what demoralizes railroad
business and puts railroads in the hands
Of receivers. 1t not only demoralizes rail
road business but all other kinds of bust
ness that is dependent upon railroads.
When rates are unstable, or rebates are
granted, merchants cannot carry on their
business satisfactorily nor compete sue
cessfully with their competitors. Secret
rebates are responsible for the financial
ruin that has overtaken hundreds of bust
ness enterprises in different parts of the
country.
If the Seaboard IS guilty as charged,
there will be considerable qualification If
it is made to suffer severely for its IN
husiness-like conduct. The grab game is
not always a safe game for railroads to
play.
