1t is said that the emperor of China rises
Ut tour O'Clock a. m. That is the cause
OF his ignorance. He goes to bed too early
too learn anything. The man who wants
to keep in the swim in these fast DAYS
must burn the midnight oil or gas or elec.
tricity, whichever is the cheapest. Dov-
light is consumed in using his knowledge
in the practical affairs of life and unless
he uses the night to acquire knowledge
the scant stock he catches on the fly will
soon be exhausted.
Give me midnight's gems of glory
Glowing in a moonlight sea,
Gliding lake and mountain hoary
Night night hath charms for me-"

REGARDING. COMPRISING


First-The object of COMPRISING
Economy in transportation, etc.
Second-ls it proper for railroad com
panes to assume the cost of COMPRISING
If so. how much? ..
Third-Conditions (a) Is it proper to
establish a minimum haul to represent
the point at which COMPRISING can be
| regarded as service for which the carrier
can afford to pay? (b)( Is it proper to
| establish a minimum rate out of which
the cost of COMPRISING may be paid?
FOurth-Will a tariff specifying rates
on 'uncompressed cotton" and on "com-
pressed cotton be preferable TO one made
up on the plan observed in commodity
tariff No. 1?
Fltth-Can COMPRISING be made to
serve the interests of shippers by operat-
ing as a saving in the cost of tranSporta-
ton? Can this consideration be utilized
in framing regulations for the transporta-
ton of compressed cotton without relin-
gushing the principle that COMPRISING
is a service for which the actual carrier
should pay or make allowance in some
form?
Sixth-Should the consideration of
COMPRISING as a service rendered for
the purpose of economiMng space for the
benefit of actual carriers be in any case
abandoned in order that comprising may
| be used as means of regulating compe-
| tition between carriers, either in or out
of the State?
Seventh-Will it be proper to make
| special regulations or arrangements of
rates whose object will be to offset disad-
vantages to which certain localities are
subject on account of the lack of com
presses? ........
Eighth-Density: What constitutes a
compressed bale? The object of this ques
ton is to develop what should be regarded
as the condition to which the lines in
Texas may be justified in making an al
lowance, either by direct ~--Tnent or by
an arrangement of rates. This will in
vOlve the question of the standard of den
sity as established by the sO-called mari
time rules" By whom is this standard
required? Are there carrying lines, lead
ing from Texas which will transport
through to destination domestic or foreign
cotton compressed short of the STANDARD
of % pounds per cubic foot? If there
are such lines. how will their practice
affect the situation?
Ninth-Where should cotton in transi
be compressed?
Tenth-Shall the shipper have the priv
ilege of shipping cotton through uncom
pressed? Shall the shipper have til,

Senior Romero says that manufacturing
is profitable in Mexico from the fact that
wages are SO low and yet there are poll
ticians who are trying to persuade the
wage-earners that they will prosper more
in a silver-standard country. We do not
want manufacturers to profit at the cost
of the laboring men. If both can not be
prosperous, the man with the capital and
the employe, then it is best to go on as we
are when the manufacturer is voluntarily
increasing the wages of employees 10 and
10 per cent.

The free silverites must be getting
ashamed to call 80 cents in silver dollar

Arkansas colonel. Let us call all depreci-
ated silver dollars barriers.

disqualification of the president and vice
president succeeds as president of the
