CHESAPEAKE GOES 1T ALONE.
It Files Its Freight Rates With the
Interstate Commerce Com

AulsblOus
NEW YORK, June l7.-Freight
rates to Chicago and the west have
been slashed by the Chesakeake
and Ohio and trouble is impend-
ing. Furthermore, the line has
withdrawn its proposition to enter
the Trunk Line association. Some
weeks ago the Chesapeake and
Ohio sent a letter TO Chairman
Roberts, OF the board of presidents,
expressing its willingness to enter
the association, but it was stipu-
lated that all subrosa freight rates
must be abolished and that the
strict tariff be adhered to. II rates
were not restored by June 10th
then the Chesapeake and Ohio
would refuse to join and would is
sue its own tariff on June l3.
According to the Chesapeake aud
Ohio people, the trunk lines kept
on with their secret cutting OF
rates. So without another word a
copy Of the new tariff. as drawn up
by the Chesapeake and Ohio freight
department, better known as the
Kanawha Dispatch, was filed with
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, as the law requires. Freights
have been cut by the Kanawha
Dispatch nearly 80 per cent. The
old rate for first-class freight from
New York to Chicago is scaled
down from 60 cents 70 36 cents,
Second is cut from 40 cents to 20
cents. The other three classes OF
freight are proportionately slashed.
A meeting OF the trunk line peo-
pie has been called for June Goth to
take the matter up.

pected that there will be quite an
influx of strangers. Among those
who have arrived is r. G. Evans,
Republican national committee.
man from Minnesota and delegate
at large to the convention from
that state. Mr.. Evans says he
thinks the convention will be the
largest and most enthusiastic that
has yet been held and he scouts
the idea that there will be a fight
over free silver coinage. MIR. Evans
has Just returned from the east.
Being asked what he thought OF
the Republican presidential ques.
ton, he said that Minnesota had
a candidate in the person Of Sena-
tor Cushman X. Davis and while
he was not q leader in the race
Minnesota Republicans hoped that
matters would so shape themselves
before next year as to make his
nomination possible. In reply to
the question, whom he considered
the strongest candidate in the race
at present, Mr.. Evans said: Nc
Kinley is by all odds the strongest.
He has character and public record
that will stand the test no matter
how long he has to remain in the
contest before the convention is
held"
He said that Reed, Harrison and
Allison were all strong, honest
men and each was possessed Of
considerable following.

BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER.

There is more consolation to be found in reading the industrial and trade journals now than for some months past. All of them present facts showing healthy con dition, and supplement the facts with prophecies of still further increase in the number of new industries and the conse- qusnt enlargement of the volume of trade. The best informed men think that the re- vival is not spurt, but is permanent.
 The Iron Trade Review makes the follow. ing admission as to the bright future for the South: "Southern furnaces will now have an advantage in competition with Northern foundry irons, which may give the former larger share of Northern business.'' The brighter future for South ern iron IS due to the increase in the price of coke, wages, etc., in the North.
 The location in the South of several cot ton mills will prove sufficient answer to any arguments that may be made by the Massachusetts Legislative Committee.

This is the Sunday commemoration of the time when Christ entered Jerusalem, short time before His passion to fulfill the prophecy of Zachariah: "Behold the king cometh to the meek and sitting upon an ass and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke." The people who went out, to meet Him spread their garments upon the ground and cast palm branches in his pathway as token that they were receiv- ing their king. This multitude followed; Christ into the city, crying aloud: "Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest" And when

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM. fho A

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM. To the Age-Herald:
 AvoNDALE, April 5.--One objection to the use of gold as the sole standard is that the result Is a fall in prices. The present low prices are not due to the scarcity of gold so much as to the unprecedented re- duciion in the cost of production, the word production embracing transportation. Over S1o0 .0O0, 1000 of gold are produced annually lu the mines, and S76, GOO 900 of this is used in the arts, leaving about S24 000, ,000 to be coined, and this is not enough to meet,the demands of commerce. We need an aux Hilary currency.
 Silver could meet this demand by inter national agreement. England, France, Germany, Russia and the United States could control the market and keep it al- most stable in value. l do not mean that they could by decree give fictitious value to the metal, but there is no doubt but that the mere fact that metal is used for money increases it's value.
 The probability that Japan will require heavy indemnity from China to be paid iu silver has raised the value of that metal from 47 to 67 cents an ounce.
 From 1903 to 1913, France, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland coined both gold and silver and kept the ratio at 15K to or 16 to 1. Ia 1873 Germany establlsned d single gold standard. The result was that Ger many absorbed all the gold of Europe and the silver flowed to the silver countries, and confidence in 1t was lost. Had Ger many continued to coin silver this would not have resulted.
 Since she persisted in adherng to the gold standard, she protited while others who still held to silver lost. We should profit by this and never alone attempt 10 uph old the white metal.
 If these powers before mentioned could keep up the value of silver for so long a time, all the powers united certainly could.
 The scheme of national bimetallism, ad- vocated by the populists and those in- terested in silver mining, is impractical. If We coin all the silver that might be pre- scented at our hints, we would not only have to bear all the silver Of Europe, which in the main adheres to the single standard, but the out-put of the mines would be greatly increased.
 We would be flooded by this cheap money, and, as a natural consequence, the dear money or gold would be withdrawn from circuiation. There would be another period of speculation booms and rise of prices. This abnormal state would not continue. The panic that in 1S93 followed the pur- chase of silver under the Sherman act, would follow national bimetallism, or free coinage as some prefer 10 call il, only on a grander and more terrible scale. The panic of 1893 was not caused by lack of money, but by lack of onfidepce.
 Nothing is more timid than capital, and anything that menaces the legitimate profits of capital is unwise. It is a notorious fact that the very class who suffered most by this loss of confidence in our money are the very ones who are now clammoring loudest for debased currency.

 MT. James Bowron says the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company sold 3D. 900 tons of iron last month, being much more than in February and January.
 c. P. Huntington and John Ii. Inman of New York; Abram 5. Hewitt, the noted iron merchant; President M. E. Ingalls, of the Big Four system and the Chesapeake and Ono railroad; Hon. Edward Atkinson of Boston; Tbonlas Booth, president of the Merchants exchange of St. Louis, and other authorities contribute views in this wee k $ issue of the Baltimore "Manutac- turers' Record' on the prospects for gen. eral business improvement. The majority of views, while Of conservative nature, are to the effect that business from this. time will gradually but steadily improve. The iron and steel mautfacturers and mer- chants report decided increase in the de- mand for their products; traffic has in- creased on the railroad lines, and the bank CTS state that investors are having more confidence in different sections of the coun- try, especially the south. Messrs. Atkin- son and Inman give quite hopeful opinions, accompanied by elaborate arguments. Thomas Booth, president of the Merchants exchange of St. Louis, which represents the business sentiment of the Mississippi valley, states that the "improvement which started the first month of ihe year is becoming emphasized. c. P. Hunting ton thinks that "business will continue to improve for some years to come." Presi- dent Ingalls, believes ''that inland com- merce will improve from now on.'

THE cool wave of the past week retarded somewhat the growth of vegetation. Plants and flowers will not grow when the thsr- mometer marks less than AZ degrees. It re- quires this much warmth to bring out veg etation. It is heat and moisture that gives life to the vegetable world. As long as these two copditions exist plant life will thrive. It Is not the return of the spring months that brings spring, but the return of warmth. 1n the tropics spring is per- petual. It is also the temperature that governs the course of migratory birds. And very often they get fooled. A warm spell in March will send the wild geese fly tug northwara, only to be caught in bliz- gard ir April.

IT has been discovered that electric lights cause plants 10 grow as well as the sun. Flowers planted in the rays of an arc light, and getting plenty of light both day and night, will grow twice as fast. Another curious thing about plants under an electric light--they can be trained to grow in any direction desired It is a we'll known fact in natural history that vines always twine one way, namely: from right to felt; that is, they follow the course of the sun. The some is true in regard to the wind. An electric light counteracts this tendency of vines to grow one way, and allows them to be turned in any direction.

Philosophers have often remarked that brain power is not affected by any limita- tion of mere distance. We have always held a mild opinion of this kind, but have been rather modest in putting ourselves forward as having ''views' on this sub ject. We have always realized that ques- ton like this lies within the realm of the philosopher, and 'each man has his trade" is good motto. Lately, however, we have been lunching on pudding, and as the consumption of this particular dish is supposed to be the proof of its excellence, we respectfully declare ourselves as being confirmed in our opinion that great minds perambulate in the same identical race track.
