Southeastern Rates.

The Southern Passenger Committee con-
cluded its labors at st. Louis yesterday. In
the matter of the party rates, it was de-
cided TO confine their use to lines compos-
ing the Southwestern Passenger Commit
tee, and not to offer them to connecting
lines for basing purposes. General Passen-
ger Agents John Sebastian, OF the Rock
Island, James Barker, of the Missouri,
Kansas * Texas and George Il. Nicholson,
of the Santa Fe, were appointed a COM
mittee to confer with the Western Passen-
ger Association M lines in the Southeast
relative to changing the present plan OF
running home-SeekerS' excursions, with a
view to preventing Generalization in rates.
With reference to bicycles in crates. where

rected TO issue a ruling classifying them as

SCALPERS FRIGHTENED
All Central Territory Lines VIII Make
% Cents the Minimum Rate on
Single ConsiGnments.

1t was stated recently that local ticket
scalpers were considerably alarmed over
the prospective passage of the Sherman
bill now before Congress, prohibiting the
scalping of tickets, and that one of the To-
cal s~calpers said that it would close up
their Offices. indianapolis scalpers are not
alone in their anxiety about the matter,
and what is being done at other points
becomes of interest. The Detroit Tribune
says: The bill has greatly disturbed
ticket scalpers of this city, who realize that
If it is passed they will be minus an occu-
patton, for it Is preposterous to imagine
for a moment that the railway companies
would issue certificates granting the brok-
ers the very privilege the bill is intro
duced to take away. As soon as possible
after learning that the bill had been offered,
representatives of the various ticket brok-
ers' associations of this city, the president
of the Board of Trade, the president of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Exchange,
and about forty wholesale and retail mer-
chants of this city sent kilograms TO Con-
gresham Corliss protesting against the
measure, and requesting him to do all in
his power TO delay its passage until a hear
ing could be had. Replying TO one of these
kilograms, Mr.. Corliss wrote as follows:
This bill was prepared and urged by
the Interstate-commerce Commission as a
wise protection to the travelling public, TO
railroads and to tickle brokers. The bill
was amended in the committee, one amend
ment suggested by myself which limited
it's provisions TO persons who engage in the
traffic of buying and selling tickets. In
its original form the bill would apply to
all persons. / believe when you examine
this bill that you will not regard ii as hos
tile to your interests. Certainly it will pro-
tect and uphold an honest broker before
the people, and condemn those who are
dishonorable. You certainly cannot prosper
against the competition of q dishOnerable
broker. i shall be pleased 10 afford you
every possible opportunity to consider the
measure. L shall be pleased to know your
objections to the measure and give your
wishes and interests due consideration
Upon receiving the above letter, Sam T.
Fisk, for the American Ticket Brokers
Association, wired Mr.. Mckenzie, the agent
of the association at Washington, as fol-
lows:

ton. See him in our behalf and explain

Lights ON Vehicles.

The arguments thus far presented in
favor Of revocation of the police regula-
ton requiring the display of lights of all
vehicles after dark fail to meet the case.
1t is urged against the regulation, which
will go into effect March 1 next, that 1t will
operate harshly upon the lverymen; that
it cannot be enforced; that it has not sue
ceeded in other cities; that it is not neces-
sary, save in the case of rubber-tired We
ficles, and so on. The demand for the
lights upon the vehicles comes mainly from
the wheelmen. who are themselves COM
PEELED to carry lights and who claim that
it is impossible after dark, on streets close
ly bordered with trees, to determine wheth-
er a vehicle is approaching or departing.
They urge, with apparent reason. that the
carriages should be made readily distin-
guishable. in order that wheel-riders may
be able 10 see just what is expected of
them, inasmuch as on them at night rests
the burden of avoidance of obstacles Elk.
perience goes to show that while the
drivers can see the lights of bicycles ap-
proa ching, they rely upon the wheelmen
to avoid them. rather than seek to drive
safely on their own account. 1t Is useless
to consider a proposition to limit the regu.

Rumors 4 bout Richard Croker.

The admirers OF Richard Croker accredit
him with good abilities and have mapped
out for him a very ambitious program No
pent-up city-not even Greater New York
Is to contract his powers. He is to become
national leader-a President-rnaker He
is to achieve in the country at large such
success as will make him the quantity here
in Washington that he is soon to become at
home. That IS TO say. he is TO land man
in the White House over whom he will ex-
ercise as much control as he is expected to
exercise over the man soon to take his seat
in the New York city tall.
Mr.. Croker is a man of much native
shrewdness. of a certain rough pluck. and
with demonstrated capacity for a certain
line of leadership. He has done some strik-
ing things with his Tammany crowd in
local way. His work for successes at the
polls is above that of either Tweed or John
Kelly. He knows his organization thor
oushly. and keeps it well in hand. But has
he the qualities that will spread out over
the country? Can Tammany methods Re ap-
piled successfully in national affairs?
Before tackling the country, according to
the published program. Mr. Croker Will
tackle his own state. He is the master now
only Of Greater New York His rule must
Is to bring him into antagonism with David
b. Hill. That ought to make lively and
Exceedingly interesting duel The Tam
many boss will find in Mr.. Hill a man as
resolute as himself, an organizer as capable
as himself, and one asking no odds in a
game where maneuvering needs 20 be skill
fully executed But Mr.. Hll goes beyond
this. He is a good speaker and writer an
adroit debater. and a welI-read lawyer He
is very strong at home, despite his mac
JiVi;y last year. The state democratic COM
mittee as at present organized is said to be
very friendly to him, and 1t IS TO be ex-
pecJed that he will use all the power he
possesses in any contest which may be
brought on by Mr.. Croker or anybody else
for the purpose of sending him perma-
nently to the rear.
As yet matters have not gone beyond
newspaper speculation. But if these two
men do cross swords the engagement will
attract national attention. New York has
in time been the theater of some stirring

iues Of Richard Croker and David T. Hill

n Modified Schedule for the Belt R0aJ

Judge Cox having ordered a modifica-
ton of the schedule in operation on the
Belt railway, to prevent an accumulation
of debts. ii remains to be seen whether the
public convenience can be met by this
arrangement. which is evidently a tenn
porary device. The statement of the case,
which appears in the news columns to-
day, indicates clearly that the financial
necessities of the situation, as brought
about by the deplorable maneuverings OF
the old management, require the interven-
ton of the court. 1t would have been un-
fortunate If the franchise We're forfeited
or clouded by voluntary abandonment or
lessenine of the service, even under such
pressure as undoubtedly exists in this in
stance. 1t is gratifying that this result
Is apparently avoided by the action of
the court in assuming the responsibility
for modifying the schedule below the mini
mum point permitted by the charter There
will be no disposition in any quarter to
raise an issue on the score of a violation
of the law If the promised reorganization
and re-equipment of the road should fol-
low in as rapid succession as the circum-
stances will permit.

4 Distinct Republican Obligation.

AS between the two, the position of the

The Treasury Age Limit.

An entirely unnecessary amount of fuss
has followed the announcement from the
Treasury that Secretary Gage proposes to

have reached the age of seventy years and
over. Complaints from those of the re-
duced clerks who feel that age has not in
the least impaired their efficiency were
reasonably TO he expected. But the ac-
tiun has also aroused the antagonism of

Bring Back Those Books.
From the Boston Herald.

In the annual report of the librarian of
Congress there is a paragraph which ought
to interest former members of Congress.
It. is pointed out that there are missing
from the library and charged to ex-mem-
bers ], 4i6 books. Congressman are not very
good users of the library. and this report
shows that some of them are very indiffer-
ent to nice considerations about the prop
erty of others. There are members of past
congresses and of the present Congress
who consider that they own part of the
library. and ought not to be condemned for
taking that part if they get the chance,
but in order to crafty this notion and keep
the library intact it Is suggested that there
should be required some statement that
the borrower Of book intends to retain
1t when he takes 1t away. public notice,
asking persons in different parts of the
country to suggest when they find books
from the Congressional Library in private
collections that they be restored to the
Congressional Library, might bring back
few books.

to do the work that their positions and sal
aries require In disposing of them two
alternatives are open. to dismiss them
outright or to reduce their burdens and
their emoluments. Sentimental reasons
operate to discourage the former procC-
dure. But more potent is the belief that
there is in these aged men a certain ac-
emulation of experience Of which the
department should be able to avail itself.
1t would be unfair to the service as well
as to the individuals to cast them out en-
tirely as long as there are places that they
can fill to the satisfaction of their super
iors.
1t is urged that in selecting seventy years
as an arbitrary line of dema rka ton he
tu cen the useful and the superannuated en-
ployes many unnecessary reductions may be
made. 1t is altogether likely that some in
justice in individual cases will result from
thus establishing line to be rigidly fol-
loved. If, however, the age limit syst an
be right the line must be drawn somewhere
The main question involved is whether or
not Secretary Gage is creating a civil pen
sion list 1t is to be hoped that the alb
sGrdity Of the affirma tive proposition will
become sufficiently apparent to the repre-
sentatlVes who are now disposed to dis
cuss the case to enable them to see that
the Secretary is merely doing what any
commercial employer may be expected to
do adjusting his force in accordance with
the capacities of individuals and fixing sala-
ries on a general scale of the ability to
earn them. AS long as the Secretary re-
serves the right to dismiss any clerk for
incompetence or impaired ability the sys-
tenn he has inaugurated remains American,
republican, democratic or what not. In
deed, it is based upon the very feature of
civil service reform that prescribes merit
as the sole standard of select ton and re-
teEtion.

Baron Won Thielman, secretary of the
German treasury, says that with respect
to the sugar question the United States
Is playing the role of a pike in a earn
pond, and he proposes a combination
against us.
What have We done to invite this severe
censure? Anything more than Germany
would have done in like circumstances ?
Anything more than Germany actually
has done so far as the sugar question is
important in her economic policy? We
deal with the sugar question from the
standpoint of large consumer and limited
producer of sugar. The tax on the import
ed article therefore is laid with the double
purpose of raising revenue and protecting
home industry. The customs receipts
from sugar are very large and help to
support the government. The protec ton
to the home industry has been very bene-
hcial. The output of the cane fields of Louis
lana has increased very greatly of late
years, and now the beet sugar industry
Is taking root. In time, and at no very
distant day. we shall be producing in this
country and in our new acquisition of
Hawaii all the sugar We need. Then our
treatment of the sugar question WILL OF
course. be changed.
but, at ti!e present Tune, what would
Baron Won Thielman have? Is the United
States to 1egislate for any other people
but her own? Can she afford to neglect
their interests even in the slightest de-
gree? Are tariffs constructed on philan-
thropic lines or on selfish, business lines?
Germany knows what protection is. She
applies it to her own Industries She has
been building up her beet sugar industry
by bounties, and it has attained large
proportions. What just grounds of quarrel
has She therefore, with the United States?
She is looking out for her people, and the
United States for her people, and both are
pursuing. so far as may be. very much
the same policy. The United States, for
awhile, paid bounty to her cane-sugar
growers. and they thrived under it. A
return was made to the tax on the i'm
ported article. because that was found to
be sufficient for all purposes. and some
prejudice existed to bounties.
1t may not be an agreeable thing for
other sugar producing countries to OBJ
serve the growth and the promise of the
sugar industry in the United States, but
the enterprise is entirely legitimate, and
legislation to foster it is entirely in keeping
with the whole American policy
