May Get an Imperial Decoration.

Mr.. Theodore A. Havemeyer, who for
twenty five years has been Austrian
Consul General in this city, serving with
out salary, has resigned, and his successor,
Mr.. Franz Stochinger, who is now on his
way to this country, will take up the
duties Of the Office within week or two.
It is reported that Mr.. Stochinger bears
with him an imperial decoration and
patent Of nobility which will make
his predecessor Baron Hsvemeyer.
In speaking Of his retirement from this
post Mr.. HRvemeyer said yesterday: The
great increase in the number Of Austrian
subjects in this country has tripled the
work Of the Office within recent years.
The duties are now such as to require

Unequal Freight Charges.

A new ground for demanding Govern
ment control, il not ownership, Of rail
roads has just been developed in New
York. The Milk Producers Association,
composed Of the farmers within q hun.
dred miles OF New York City who are
engaged in dairying and especially in
producing milk for market, have entered
complaint before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, against the railroads,
for determinations in freight rates. It
was shown that the rates were fixed by
q combine, that they were sixteen times
as much as for other local freight and
that the rates for twenty-five or fifty
miles were the same as for Ave or six
times these distances.
There was abundant proof OF these dis
ordinations. Some railway officers ad-
mitted the combination and that the
same charges were made for the short
haul as for the long one.
Cross examination brought out an
other instance Of unequal and unjust
rates. 1t was proved that Wescott's
express and the Produce Dispatoh-the
latter carrying milk on one Of the rail
roads-was handling 100000 Of the
milk shipment and pOCketed 25 per cent.

the city ceases to be at the mercy Of the
water company, the better"
Discussing the remedy for these out
RACES the Press observes:
"Unknown TO most people Councilman
Bradford has had plans and specifca-
tions made for a plant superior to the
one now in operation, and the cost is
somewhat less than s5O0,00O. II pro
vides for larger mains, more improved
process for pumping and for fifty miles
Of pipe instead Of thirty-four, as at
present.
"The plant could be paid for in bonds.
The operating expenses Of the plant, in
addition TO the interest and principal Of
the bonds, could be met for water rate
considerably less than that charged by
the highway robbers who are now oper.
ating the water monopoly. This is
proven by figures which win be sub
mitted in due time.
"By operating it's own water plant the
city would obtain two great and exceed
ingly desirable advantages. In addition
to supplying better water at less cost,
it would rid itself Of a tyrannicsl and
oppressive monopoly that has been a
hardship for years. Instead of the city
being at the mercy Of the water company,
the tables would be turned and they
would be at mercy Of the city of Topeka.
"After protracted litigation Kansas
City is constructing it's own water sup
ply plant. The oppression Of the water
company there had become, as it has in
Topeka, too much for a long.suHering
public to bear. 1t is q step in advance.
Topeka is lighting its streets by cleo
tricity generated from it's own plant.
Results show it ls economical and profit
able. The same will be found true of
the water"
If the people of Topeka are wise they
will adopt Councilman Bradford's plan
and forever make an end Of the extor-
tions Of one corporation at least. At a
much smaller tax than has been levied
bj the Topeka Water Supply Company
the city could furnish far better SER
vice and the new works would pay for
themselves in a very few years. After
they were paid for they would be a
source Of perpetual revenue to the city.
Other cities have found this the only Of
feCtive remedy for the extortions Of
water companies, and municipal owner

where growing in favor as experience
demonstrates its advantages.

GAS to the story that am to be re-
warded with a title and an imperial
decoration, l can say only that I have
not been informed of any such intention
on the part Of the Emperor. He may
have decided to do something to show
his satisfaction with the way have per
Termed the duties of my place, but as
to the form which such recognition is
likely to take know nothing"
One Of Mr.. Havemeyer's friends said
yesterday that it is well understood
among prominent Austrians in the city
that the retiring Consult General is to
receive an imperial decoration, as an
indication Of the personal esteem of the
Emperor and also Of the high value
placed upon Mr.. Havemeyer's services to
the Austrian Government. 1t is not
known what form the mark OF royal
favor will take or whether it will confer
a title or not. 1t is surmised that the
decoration may be the "Order of Leo
pold." the fourth in rank of the decora-
tions conferred by the Austrian Emperor,
and that it will be accompanied by
patent Of nobility creating Mr.. Have
meyer baron. This is merely surmise,
however.
Mr.. Havemeyer was appointed Austrian
Consul General in 1877 to succeed his
father-in-law,. Ritter Won Loesy, who had
held the post many years. AS Mr..
Havemeyer's time has been almost
wholly taken up with his sugar-refning
interests, most Of the routine work of
the Office has been carried on by
subordimates.
Mr.. Havemeyer is a native American,
but his successor, Franz Stockinger, is
an Austrian subject, who has beed for
some time an attache Of the Austrian
embassy in London.-NeaO York Times.

Some Prehistoric Corn.

Attorney J. P. Dawson, Of this city,
q few days ago sent to this Office two
ears Of corn which have a history Of
more than ordinary interest. These ears
were grown the past season by DIR. James
7. Matson, Of Louisiana, Mo-, who
started with thirty-two grains. He says
it ripens early, with vigorous stalk and
with as high as four full ears on a stalk.
One of the ears is deep red, ten inches
long; the other is nine inches long, and
of a peculiar yellowish- -brownish color,
having the appearance of having been
partially roasted, although it has not
been about the fire. Concerning this
prehistoric corn we get the following
facts from reliable source.
Elder Garry, q Baptist divine, now
living in Christie, Howell county, Mo-,
while exploring a mound near that
place, found thirteen grains Of corn, ap-
parently sound, incased in a stone jar
or vessel He planted all Of the thirteen
grains carefully, and but one produced
and strange incident is that but thir-
teen grains grew as his first product.
They were carefully kept and planted
the following year by Elder Curry, and
the product was we'll matured. The
two ears on our desk, grown by DIR.
Matson, were grown from corn of that
yield. President j. @. Evans, Of the
Missouri State horticultural Society,
who has grown some of the corn, says
four-flfths of all he has raised is red,
and he thinks the original grains found
must have been red originally, and
bleached by ages.
Elder Curry, who has made q study
Of re-historic history, thinks the corn
he found in the mound was undoubtedly
5000 years old. He is located in South
Missouri, it is said, for the purpose Of
looking into ancient hieroglyphics, and
is writing a history on the subject.
The above facts confirm the belief
that the terminating power, or power
Of reproduction, of corn may be pre-
served for an indefinite period If sur
rounded by proper conditions-JoNrnGI

The Topeka Daily Press, Of December
l0 presents the facts relative 10 the out
rages to which the citizens Of Topeka
have been subject at the hands Of the
Water Supply Company, and suggests
the only sensible and efRectusl remedy.
: The Press says:
"For years the city has been at the
mercy Of the iniquitouS Topeka Water
Supply Company. This company has
violated it's contract in nearly every de-
tail. The quality Of water furnished has
been bad. The pressure has been far
below that provided for in it's franchise.
For this inferior service the people Of
Topeka have been assessed exorbitant
prices because they had no alternative.
ain addition to this the company has
clearly violated it's franchise to the City
Council. It's violation has been bold
and fagrant, and for years it has defed
the Council to do anything about it. A
suit was brought four years ago to COM
pei the water company to extend its
mains to portions Of the city that were,
and still are, devoid Of fire protection.
Instead Of meeting the issue fairly the
compsny hired lawyers to resort to all
the intrigues and delays known to the
law--and some Of them unknown. The
result 10 that, after hanging fire in the
courts for four years, under the terms Of
three different City Attorneys, the case
is still pending in the Federal court and
ia apparently no nearer settlement than
the day it was filed.

'sThe litigation in which the city of
Topeka has endeavored to compel the
water company to abide by the provis.
ions Of it's charter or forfeit it's franchise
Is matter with which the public is
more or less familiar. When the fran
chise was granted a provision was made
that the city should pay a rental on 300
hydrants for FIRE purposes, but all in OK
cess of 300 should be furnished free by
the company. The waterworks people
chuckled over this provision, for that
was fifteen years ago and the city was
small. Possibly the likelihood Of the city
ever needing any more than 300 fireplugs
never occurred to them. But the city
grow in population and gradually spread
itself over more territory. The 300 hy-
drants we're in the course of few years
all put in, and the city needed more.
Then the City Council ordered the CON-
pany to extend its mains, aud the com
pany refused. The Council reminded
the company OF the provisions Of its
charter which compelled them to ex
tend. and the company practically said;
aDamn the charter; what are you going
70 do aboutitI" The city has been dem.
strating ever since that it could do
nothing.
'The Martin & Dennis addition, one OF
the largest accessions made to the COR.
porate limits of the city, has not single
hydrant. Every house in that portion

OF the incendiary or children who play
With matches. When there is fire in
that part Of the city the FIRE department
lB compelled to lay nearly mile Of hose,
and by the time this Is done the property
u usually past savings or II not, the
pressure is 80 weak as to be OF little
value. The fire losses in this portion Of
the city have been heavy, and insurance
rates are correspondingly heavy. This
condition Of affairs is true Of several
other localities as well as the Martin &
Dennis addition. It is all due to the
grasping tyranny Of the water company.
