FREIGHT RATES REDUCED.
A Material Reduction on Naval
stores Shipments.

A material reduction in the freight
rates charged by some of the railroads on
shipments of naval stores has been grant
the request of Commissioner Purse of the
Savannah freight bureau.
About a month ago. Capt. Purse
brought to the attention of the commits
sion the fact that under the rulings of
the commission. a Topper cent. addition
to the standard tariff was allowed to be
charged on turpentine and rosin, for
which extra charge there seemed to be
no reason the standard tariff evidently
being high enough.
The commission agreed with Capt
Purse. and the result is the following or
der, a copy of which was received yes
terday by Capt. Purse:
Upon consideration of the application
of d. G. Purse commissioner represent
ing the naval stores interest and the board
of trade of the city of Savannah, it is
Ordered and determined that the 10 per
cent. in addition to the standard tariff
heretofore charged on turpentine, which
is class r, and on rosin, which is class
X, be withdrawn, and that said articles
be allowed only the rates fixed by the
classification and standard tariff of this
commission
III justice " the IdlliOd tHleIluE Sd
vannah, it should be said that they have
been content with the standard tariff
without putting on the 10 per cent. addi-
ton, and, consequently, they are not af-
fected by the change. The Southern rail-
way and the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida are the two principal railroads which
have insisted on this charge.
Capt. Purse is also moving for a reduc-
ton In the rate charged on empty barrels
for distances of less than 100 miles. AT
present the railroads are allowed to charge
at the rate Of 100 pounds for each barrel
for distances under 100 miles. no matter
what the weight OF the barrel. Capt.
Purse thought this a rather queer ruling
and called the attention OF the commission
to it. He understands that the commits
sion is rearranging its rates for this class
of freight

Holmes, the great professional criminal,
went stoically out of this world one day
last week by being hung by the neck until
he was dead. OF course he went, too, either
with lie on his lips or confessing to an
unnumbered series of lies expressed within
the last few weeks. He denied his commits.
sion of the crime of which he had been con.
victed, but confessed to others. To those
who may have watched his course his denial
and his confession will be equally valueless
The death of this man, brute we should
call him, calls attention anew TO the fact
that courage in the face of immediate death
is the cheapest of human virtues. Two or
three times a month the reading public is
gravely informed by the reporters of the
marvellous nerve with which the latest exc
cradle criminal met death. Courage on the
caffold is the rule rather than the excep.

are the men who brave il in lawless and
violent aSocations throughout their lives.

Senior Canovas has stated in pretty plain

the reforms necessary in Cuba might posi-

patriots who are fighting for the independ

1t evident that peace can now only be Sc
cured by the absolute independence of Cuba
For the patriots to throw down their arms
on the promise of reforms to come would be
worse than useless. Only by fighting can
they force from Spain such promises. Only
by fighting can they give their loved and
beautiful island that relief which Spain
promises in fear and neglects to grant in
security.

now TO GET TOGETHER.

The Chestertown transcript democrat,
Kent county, says: "a reorganization
which will secure for the public service a
class Of men selected for merit, for unques.
toned capacity and fitness, in utter disre-
gard of personal or political favor, will pro-
duce results so unquestionably beneficial
that public confidence will be restored, fac.
tional breaches will be healed and party sue
cess assured. One of the great fundamental
demands OF the men who last year, reason
ably or unreasonably as the case may have
been, rebelled against one man power and
political dictatorship, is that the spoils
system exercised in utter disregard of poit-
ica and personal fitness shall be abandoned.
1t is not putting the matter too strongly to
assert that the man or men who by their
active opposition or their scarcely less potent
inactivity comprised Democratic defeat last
fall can never be again drawn into party
ranks under old leaderships. While they
fully realize that for reinstatement of the
old and pure Democracy into power, OLSEN
sions and discord must cease, and while they
recognize the fact that as result Of their
own revolt party inspired and animated
by an innate spirit of plumber and total dis
regard of the rights of the great struggling
masses has been called into control of State
and local affairs, they are still unprepared
to court harmony and party success by out
raging their manhood or compromising that
high sense of the duty Of the citizen to him.
self and to his State. A spirit of fairness, a
sense of the rights of others in dealing with
the complex political situation which pre-.
sents itself, is the keynote to the future of
the Maryland Democracy. Concession with
out dishonor must characterize the dealings
with the political questions of the future"
