4 fearful Plea For the Downtrodden but
Obstinate Animal.

Civiliza ion has used the poor ass badly.
Our ways are not his ways. and lie not in
frequently reminds US of the fact. When
he does express dissent, he shows himself
an uncompromising bigOt. Yet let us
consider for moment why he is ''such an
ass He has been taken from bold and
free life in the uplands, where the very air
tastes of independence, and has been de.
graded to the very lowest kinds of drudg-
cry. Nonconformist as be is, he is more of
a Tory than the horse. He cannot fit him
self to changed circumstances. He is like
the free Caribs, whom the Spaniards tried
to reduce to slavery. The condition is SO
foreign to his nature that he cannot fall in
with it without losing all the nobler traits
of his old self 1t brushes him. He is
proyerbially patient, but his patience has
in it something of the dizziness of despair
Yet obstinate and rebellious as he occa-
sionally is, he cannot be considered fool.
If he appears to be one, it is because we
have removed him so far out of his natural
sphere. II any of US were taken from our
civilized surroundings and were turned
loose to get living among the desolate
rocks of Abyssinia, we should doubtless
offer as fair laughing stock to the wild
asses and balloons.
Now, where does the donkey get his OBJ
stinacy from: 1t is useful quality in the
right place. On long journey, with short
allowance of food and water, a mule will
keep going longer than a horse 1t seems
to me likely that the great difference in
character between the horse and the ass Is
partly owing to the fact that when wild
the former 90 in large herds and the latter
in small. The horse is much more Of q
society animal than the donkey, and so
his manners are more suave. He, like all
those who have to mix freely with their
fellows, has acquired an accommodating
disposition. Let me make haste to say
that a donkey is distinctly more intelli-
gent animal than a horse. 1t is his I'M
Willingness to fall in with the wishes of
those who would influence him and his
stubbornness in sticking TO bis own views
TO which am abiding. In his mountain
home, where pasture is scarce, only few
wild asses, as a rule, go together. Should
foe suddenly appear when they are scat
tered in search of the scanty heritage each
must decide on a course for himself, for it
would not always be possible TO follow a
leader. Hence self reliance and DISPOSE
tion to act Independently would be valua-
bic in the struggle for eIistence.-North

Der next. While nothing of positive
character can be learned, owing to the
secretiveness of the members, it is
stated that there has been bitter fight
at every session of the union, a fight
which has not yet seen its end.
The trouble grew out of the question
Of commissions. The mode of proce-
dure prior TO March. 1894. was for local
agents to make their own terms with
the companies they represented as to
the commissions. Rates were the same
but the commissions varied according
to the influence and business capacity
of individual agents. About that time
the Western union passed rule that
thereafter commissions should not be
paid in excess of per cent. st. Louis
ans have failed 10 live up to it. Sew
eral local agents represent both union
and non-uDion companies, and the
Western Union, it is said. is now try
ing TO force local agents either TO con-
form to the rules of practice in regard
to the - per cent commission or give
up their non-union companies, the real
object of the resolution being TO force
the outside companies into the union.
One feature of the fight has been the
discovery that several of the compa-
MES in the union have not themselves
lived up to the commission rules.

EVERYBODY CAN BURN GAS.
Process Discovered for Producing at Seven
Gents a Thousand.

New York. March 9.-Announcement
is made Of a most remarkable diScov-
cry of d means of producing illumina-
ting gas at q cost which may prove to
be not more than seven cents a thous-
and feet for the same amount OF light
as is furnished by a thousand feet of
ordinary gas a Sl25. Factories are al
ready completed and the new gas may
be offered for general use in a short
time. 1t is now used in d house in this
city and has been found in every way
practicable.
The new illuminant is acetyline, the
lowest gas in the series Of hydro car
hons. which are the foundation of or
ganic chemistry and enter into the
composition of many of the most impor-
tant products Of coal tar and petrole-
um. 1t is known to chemists as y c .

WILL MEET THE RATES.
Roads East Out of st. Louis Come to the
Chicago and Great Western.

Chicago, March s-The Illinois Cen
trail and Burlington lines in Missouri
today gave notice that they would meet
the rates made yesterday by the Chica-
go and Great Western from st. Louis
to points in the east. This leaves the
remaining lines having interests in
that territory no recourse but 20 follow
the example of the Illinois Central and
the Burlington. 1t is understood that
the Alton will meet the rate.
The difference i'll opinion between
Chairman Caldwell and the Alton road
regarding the application OF the Cana
dian Pacific differentialS will likely re-
main in statu quo until after the gen.
eral meeting of the western lines on
Wednesday of next week. The Alton
has been waiting for the chairman to
hand down an official written opinion
upon the receipt of which it announces
that ii will appeal TO arbitration if the
opinion is opposed TO the stand it has
taken al the opinion certainly will be.

General John McNulta Pleased with the
Reorganization Plan.

Chicago. March 9.-General John Nc
Nulta, chief receiver for the Whiskey
Trust, expressed perfect satisfaction
with the reorganization plan. 1t was,
he said, feasible and practical.
IF L could suggest any Improvement
in the scheme" he said, lit would be
the raising of a larger amount of money
to meet any possible emergencies that
might arise. The business has now
reached plane where the heavy losses
have been stopped and unless there is
some unexpected break, a fair profit
will be shown at the close of the cattle
feeding season. On the whole. the
outlook for the property is decidedly
good. If il were not speculative

persons interested in speculation. /
should say that a favorable outcome Of
the reorganization project is positively
assured.

MAKES THEM COUGH UP,
Minister Taylor has Pretty Good Luck In
Securing Customs Rebates.

Washington, March 9.-Minister Tay-
Tor at Madrid some time ago informed
the department Of state that he had
seven case Of the large number pre-
ferred by American merchants for the
recovery of sums of money paid to Gu
ban officials alleged to be in excess of
the proper charges on imports into that
country, which he intended to make
test cases. The department has just
been informed that the minister has
succeeded in having five of the cases
allowed and orders have been made
for d refund in these by the Spanish
government. Two of the cases are for
refund of duties collected upon goods
that should have been admitted free,
but upon which it was eXacted, owing
TO misinterpretation by the Cuban Of
ficials of the language of the reportory
OF the reciprocity treaty. The other
cases were claims for refund of fines
collected on account Of trivial errors in
manifests. Minister Taylor is hopeful
now that he will be able to secure the
allowance of nearly all of the large
amount of such claims pending, in
view of his success with these test
cases.

puted claims. On Jan. 80 the Alham-
bra Town company went into a new
mining center and located in the neigh

work on them and not placing them on
record. The recent excitement in the
camp has brought 4 deluge Of miners
and prospectors to the district, and
they have been working the locations
claimed by the Alhambra company.
The company has made a strong pro-
test against the operation of what they
claim as their property, but the miners
will not stop work. = number OF cow

Washington, March 9-The secretary

tors of customs al ports at which goods
have heretofore been entered for trans
it to Mexico that the recent joint res
olution passed by congress prohibits
such transit in cases where the goods
are consigned to points within the So

directs collectors to hereafter refuse en-

already entered may be forwarded as
heretofore. but goods which hereafter
may arrive in any port of entry will
be required to be examined and appraiS-
ed and entered for transportation in

portation. This will involve delay and
possibly expense TO shippers but cannot
be avoided in any other manner than
by the adjustment Of the free zone.
