People and Railroads Protected.

People and Railroads Protected.
The railroad attorneys, who are
seeking to prevent the enactment Of
the Iowa law in this state, are clever;
they declare that no abuses can exist
by which the roads defraud the
people, and point out in proof, that
one third of railroads of the country
are ever at the present rate, in
the hands of receivers.
They predict universal bank
ruptcy in case further reductions
are forced. The complete refutat-
ion of the argument is shown by the
fact that while in many states where
the roads control the people, the
railroads have failed, in Iowa where
the people control the roads, they
have prospered. The advocates of
efficient control held that such con-
troll benefits the roads as we'll as the
people. The tremendous discrimi-
nations by which the roads build up
one community or one person at the
expence Of others, are most iujur.
ious to the roads themselves.
The greatest evils of railrods man
agement are due to the fact that
managers in many, if not most cases,
frame their tariffs and their classif-
cations, not for the purpose of
making high dividends for the stock
holders, but high profits for the big
companies in which these managers
hold stock, on booms for certain
towns, in which they have been
presented with town lots. or the
advancement of some enterprise for
which they have been paid in cash.
Railroad history furnishes countless
examples of alternate booming and
wrecking Of railroad properties,
with the purpose Of securing fort
unes for the insiders, from the fuct-
uations. Thus while one third of
the roads have gone into the hands
OF receivers, officials of these Same
nave grown increasingly rich.
The shippers and the stockholders
have been alike ruined, but the favor
ties and managers have prospered.
Under a law like that Of Iowa,
this condition could not and does
not exist. Under that law the rail
road managers are servants of the
state and must act under rules
prescribed by the peoples officials.
Robbery of the people and Of the
stockholders alike must cease; rates
must be no more than reasonable,
and all shippers and communities
must be- treated alike.
It is this system which has enor-
mously built up wealth in Iowa, and
at the same time brought about the
prosperity Of the reads.

Western Cattle Not Very Good

Western Cattle Not Very Good
Western cattle are coming freely
enough now to show the character
of their quality says the Chicago
Drovers Journal. The fattering re-
ports from the range country early
in the season gave rise to the belief
that the cattle would be extera good,
but the early shipments do not bear
out this opinion. The cattle are not
as good as last year and hardly up
to the average. They r not as fat
as they ought to be and of course
have to sell at disappointment prices.
There has been plenty of grass, but
it was too green and didn't seem to
put on the fat as it should. Later
shipments are likely to be much
better. If it were not for the fresh
meat demand the hog situation
would be worse than it is. The
anomaly Of live hogs selling at about
at the same prices as hog product is
only to be explained at the present
time by the strong and steady de-
mand for hams and fresh pork.
There is a good demand for prime
bacon, but the injury for mess, salt
and pickeled meats and lard is sc
small that if packers had no other
dependence hogs would be selling
down close to the low record notch.

Makes Pretty Penny Out of Pennies.

1t is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metal, such as pen
nies and nickels, are made at the Phila-
delphia mint, and that nearly 100, 600, 900
pennies are coined here every year. This
large number is occasioned by the fact
that thousands of pennies are lost an
nually, and the Government has some
difficulty in maintaining the supply.
The profit to the Government on their
manufacture is large. The blanks for
making them are purchased for 81 per
thousand from Cincinnati firm that
produces them by contract.
Blanks for nicke.s are produced in
the same way, costing Uncle Sam only
1-2 cents apiece. Gold is coined in
Philadelphia and San Francisco. Not
enough of it comes into the mint at New
Orleans to make the coinage of it worth
while. Gold pieces are the only coins
of the United States which are worth
their face value intrinsically. A double
eagle contains $50 worth of gold with
out counting the one-tenth part copper.

The Better the Day the Better the Deed

The Better the Day the Better the Deed.
After the regular service at the Bap-
tist Temple yesterday morning, the COM
munion table was uncovered and while
those who had merely come to hear the
sermon were going out, the pastor, the
Rev. Russell III. Conwell, and the dea-
cons prepared for the solemn rite that
was to follow.
The silver goblets were filled with
wine, bread was broken and the audi
ence was already hushed by the impress
sive preliminaries, when a man, little
past middle age, with unkept whiskers
and linen besmirch ID, stepped forward
to the altar. His glC yes and hat was all
that remained of respectabil.ty, and
those were the wore for wear, but his
manners were as exquisite as those of a
polished Frenchman. He stepped
blithely up to DIR. Conwell, touC ned him
gently ON the shoulder, and with the air
of a man paying profuse compliments,
he said:
my friend may 1 touch you for a
five to get back to New York;
The touch didn't work and the cere-
mony proceeded, while the un'1ept one
moved away absorbed in deep thought.

The True Functions of Political Parties.

The True Functions of Political Parties.
Let us not be too superstitious about
parties. Political parties, rightly under
stood in this free country, are but
agencies employed by the voters for
carrying their own will into effect
There have been times, within our first
century of national life, when party
lines and party issues seemed to vanish
altogether. National parties great in
their day and with renowned leaders
have dissolved and disappeared. some of
them whose very names are doomed to
be forgotten, because the people needed
them as agents no longer. What, then,
should be the fate of those political or
ganiZers who make Frankenstein
monster out Of this party machinery for
consolidating and monopolizing personal
power, pelf and patronage? Let them
be crushed under their own contrivance.
When any organized force compels
the voters and takes from the people or
from any popular party a fair right of
selection among men and measures, il
should, by whatever combination OF
good citizens, be overthrown. The tyr.
amy of an absolute monarch is palliatod
by glitterins pomps and illusions which
stimulate continent of personal loyal
ty, but "boss" tyranny in a republic
is worse than any monarchy to live up
der, for it fosters no high sentiment
and has no veil of illusion its bare hid
