Pooling in railway parlance, is a term
probably not well understood by the av-
erage reader. He knows that it is an
agreement between certain railroads by
which earnings are divided. and is more
than apt to suspect that the agreement
is inimical to shippers. A simple expla-
nation of the common form of railway
pool is offered by the Financial News,
thus: 1T is an agreement that all compet-
tive traffic shall be carried indiscrimi-
natoly by the associated lines at uniform
rates; that the whole revenue from such
business shall be paid into a common
purse, and shall he divided between the
members in proportions previously agreed
on. The proportions are generally fixed
in accordance with the percentages of the
traffic affected by the pool which the
different companies carried before the
agreement" The advantages to be de
rived from pooling are these: Instead
of paying large salaries to agents and
touts.' spending huge sums on advertis-
ing, and offering reductions in rates to
shippers, each company gets without
trouble its reasonable share in the traffic
at full schedule rates" The rates are not
touched by the pool The pool merely
provides for each road to get the rate per-
mitted under the law. and shuts off rate
wars.

Large cotton mills must have facilities
for accommodating their raw material and
distributing their products. Lacking
transportation and terminal facilities. the
most perfect mill would be handicapped.
even if it were set down in the center OF
cotton plantation. There is no city in
the South Atlantic states with transpor-
tation and terminal facilities superior to
those of Savannah. The business men
OF this city will be guilty of gross neg
lsct if they fail to set before the New
England mill men who contemplate NOV
ing south a fun and clear statement of
the advantages that would be enjoyed by
locating mills here.

In addressing the students of Cornell
University upon the subject of Journalism,
Mr.. Charles A. Dana of the New York
SUM- told them, among other things, that
AL the goodness of a good egg cannot
make up for the badness of bad one"
That is wisdom boiled down to an cpl
gram. Shun bad eggs as you would the
pestilenre; but when you find yourself in
possession of a bad egg in spite of your
self, throw it at the President of the
United States That is the teaching by
example of the famous old journalist.
James S. CIarkson, ex-chairman of the
republican national committee. declares in
an interview. that he does not want an
extra session Of the next congress. It
never occurred TO any body that Mr. Clark
son could have an extra session if he
wanted it; and it makes really no differ
ence one way or the other what Mr..
Clarkson thinks about it, During this ad-
ministration the executive Office is not
being run by political wire pullers.
The information comes from Nevada
that the Chinese government is nesotiat-

people would only confirm the report.
there might come a slight change over
the financial situation; the way to a con
cession to the silverites" might be found.

Mr.. John James Ingalls, varies the mo-
notony of running last in a senatorial
race by breaking into prophecy The con-
test for the republican presidential nomi-
nation in 1856 says he, "will be a three
cornered fight between Reed, Mckinley
and Harrison; and then some such man
as Bob Lincoln Will walk off with the nom
nation" Without discussing at all Mr..
Ingalls, power of prophecy, or the posi-
bility of his having hit the bulls eye. it
is comforting to reflect that Mr.. Ingalls,
IS no such man as Bob Lincoln.
