Two KINDS OF BAGGAGE rIeNp
One Villain Travels with the Train. thu
Other Remains In the Depot.

One villain Travels with the Train. thu
Other Remains In the Depot.
There are two OF them, the one who
fits from station to station and dumps
your poor dumb trunk with force
enough to drive piles in a government
breakwater, and the one who loiters
around the depot watching for his
chance to shatter your baggage, says
Texas Siftings. The depot baggage.
man is the most culpable of the two
species. In his long and dark career Of
smashing trunks he has knocked the
hoops or his conscience, and there Is
no remorse brave, foolhardy and reck-
less enough to tackle his heart-strings
and play on them. The cowboy ropes
the Texas steer for fun, but the bag
gageman ropes your trunk for quar-.
ter of dollar. No matter though
your trunk be shod with half-inch
strap iron and armed with solid steel
corsets on the corners, and double
locked with burglar-proof combina-
ton, the station baggageman wants to
rope it all the same, and usually he
terrifies all the passengers into letting
him have his own way. He approaches
you with smile, goes away with
twenty-five cents and ties your bruised
and battered kister with tow string.
The strong, iron-bound chest of the
drummer, and the aristocratic though
fragile frame of the Saratoga, meet on
a common level, and when they do
meet the splinters fly, and while the
owner of the Saratoga is wringing her
lily white hands and tuclzing stray bits
of lace, ruffling and bird's-eye linen
into the fractured corners, the drum
mer is using the most vigorous and
spiritual language he can command,
and great deal of it, warming up
with the eloquent brilliancy of his dis
course. As the prayers of the wicked
avail naught, so neither do the tears of
the belle nor the curses of the CONNER
cial gentleman, The time table of the
railroad is not changed in the least,
and the sympathetic passengers are
obliged to go abroad. The wounded
trunks are thrown into the ambulance
baggage car-and whirled away to
the next slaughter house farther up
the road. And the dear, sweet dude,
and the starchy old deacon, and the
grand and impressive member of the
Legislature are all alike powerless in
the hands of the fcnd of the check
room. Tyre and Sidon have passed
away, and so will our trunks. The
Goths and Vandals swarmed down
upon Rome and it fell Verify, SO do
the Goths and Vandals of the modern
railroad prev on our baggage and it is
all brolten up.

The news from the Dominion Of Canada
Is disluieting. At Ottawa there are signs
Of general disintegration of the cabinet,
and at Winnipeg there Is every evidence of
q determination on the part of the provin-
cial legislature to resist the recent order of
the Dominion government for the re-es-
Enlistment of parochial schools. There is
such a serious condition ct the bottom of
these two facts that developments of un-
usual importance may be expected in the
coming months. Canada is MT a harmon
ious confederation and the present trouble
brings to light the real cause Of the weak
ness Of the organization Of that ccleny. 1t
- composed of eleven provinces, among
which Quebec holds the balance Of power
in politics and 1t is owing to the peculiar
nature Of the population of this province
that the present trouble Is Of such serious
proportions. This region was settled by the

The present Episcopal diocese of Mary
land has just received a legacy which may
result in the consummation of the plan to
divide that diocese into the dioceses of
baltimore and Washington. Bishop Paret
has made it condition precedent to this
division that each of the proposed new
diOceses shall raise an endowment fund
to provide for the increased episcopal ex-
penses, without raising the assessments
upon the parishes, the amount necessary
being $5O,UOO in each case. OF that sum
Washington has already raised about
$4,000. while Baltimore has as yet done but
little. The presence of the bishop of Mary
land in that city probably took from the
Episcopalians of Baltimore much of the
incentive that inspired the Washingtonians
in their efforts to secure a resident bishop.
Bishop Paret has now been notified by New
York bankers that $500 is in their hands
subject to his order. This money Is a
legacy from Mrs. C. Spaight Keerl, who
was a native of Baltimore, and there is
now at hand. in this donation which is
one of the largest ever given to the church
in this country, the means of establishing
the endowment fund which has been
needed. There is an excellent prospect that
the Washington of the near future will
have both its Episcopal bishop and its
Episcopal Cathedral.

The Commissioners have not rescinded
the news-suppreSsing order. Verbally and
theoretically that speech-prohibiting in
junction still threatens the District en-
ployes, the local press, and the public in
terest But the Commissioners have indi-
Gated and announced that its most strin-
gent and vital prohibitions may be disre-
garrled with impunity and will not be en-
forced. Consequently everybody Is trife
happy; the press because 1t may get some
news; the public because 1t may enjoy the
benefit of the knowledge of its municipal af-
fairs, which is derived from some publicity
in respect thereto; the District employees
because they breathe more easily unmuz-
zled, and the Commissioners because the
order has not been rescinded.

It Is right for Japan to grant an arm
stice to China It Is an act of civilization
and indicates that the progress of the little
nation Of the western Pacific is not merely
superficial. China is thoroughly whipped.
and to continue to belabor her now while

would give the rest Of the world the i'm

sentative attitude now by the Mikado will
go far toward establishing Japan as one CT

prospect for agreement ahead of it. Today
Secretary Carlisle will appear, it is ex-
pecSed with the contract for the sale OF
the forthcoming bond issue, to settle q
question which has arisen. Democratic
members Of the committee prophesy that
the Republicans will unite with them

publicans and the sight of Reed in con-
ference with Cochran for an hour. The

the proceedings, and individually its men,
bcrs are diplomatic in speaking OF their
intentions.
COckran's Emergency Plan.
II Reed has arrived at any understand
ing with the administration. rs was freely
rumored, he has done this colleagues
say-on his own responsibility. Most Of
the time was consumed in a discussion of
a plan offered by Cochran to meet the
present emergency and possible exigencics
Of the future, which would confer large
discretionary powers upon the executive
branch of the government. II. made it as u
verbal proposition, but after the meeting
reduced the plan to writing and will pre-
sent it today in the following form:
CAS- Nominated I'm the Bond"
Whenever it appears to the secretary
Of the treasury that an additional sup
ply of gold or silver is necessary to the
treasury to enable it to maintain the
parity between the various coins and
forms Of money Of the United States as
required by law, the said secretary is here
by authorized to procure such gold or sill
yer as may be necessary for that purpose
by issuing therefor obligations of the
United States conditioned for the return
Of q like quantity of the same metal as
may have been thus obtained, and for the
transfer to the holder of such obligations
of an additional amount Of said metal not
to exceed per cent. of the whole amount
thus obtained"
Chairman wilson's Resolution.
Bynum withdrew his resolution in
difference to Chairman Wilson's plan,
which covers in part thesame ground, and
Wilson had amended the form of his res0-
luton by adding clause which stipulates
that none of the proceeds Of the bond
issue shall be used to defray current ex-
penses of the government. The change
was designed to meet the objections ut.
tered by Republicans at the former meet
ing, but their views upon it were not
ELECTED during the session. Another
change was made in Wilson's resolution
by leaving blank the term of the bond,
and a question was raised whether the
contract with the brokers did not stipu-
late for a thirty-year term. Wilson's res.
Olution gives the treasury authority to
