THERE are sixteen states in the
union, according to the Railway Age,
which have no officers OF boards
specially constituted to supervise the
railways within their respective limits
and equalize the rates of transporta-
ton. These states are Arkansas,
Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho,
Indiana, Maryland, Montana, Louisiana,
Nevada, New Jersey, Tennessee, Wash
ingtOn, West Virginia, Wyoming and
Utah. In six of these states no reports
whatever are required from railroad
companies. In the others there are
certain state officers who take the mat
ter in charge. The state of Arkansas,
for example, has a board, consisting of
the governor, auditor and secretary of
state, which is styled a railroad CON-
mission, but it hardly comes up to the
idea of commission as understood in
Georgia and other states. In Colorado
aud Florida the experiment of having
! a commission has been tried and aban.
doned.

NOTICE.

All delinquent foreign subscriptions TO THE
REPUBLIC have been placed with the Publisher
Collection Agency, of st. Paul, Mimi, for colec
ton, and those owing same may govern them
selves accordingly.
The reason foF collecting these accounts
through the agency. which for the time being
becomes our private sgent, is that the prevail
ing hard times has forced the dismissal Of ou
bookkeepers, steaographers, printers and press
men, and the editor has been put upon half "a
tons and detailed to do tho work Of all. Besides
the agency can do tie work for US cheaper thar
we could do it ourself. The receipt of bill
is no disgrace; We get hundreds Of them every
year and know our honor and social standing il
untarnished thereby.
Bills can be settled through this Office or tina
of the agency. All errors cheerfuily corrected.

COMPETE WITH KANSAS WHEAT,

Will wheat growing in KBnsas event
ually be given up, An article in the
Rocky Mountain News points out how
the opening of new wheat yielding re.
gions may make the competition in
grain growing even more severe than
it has been. The News says.
San immediate effect of the opening
of the great trans-SibeFisn railway will
be to add millions of acres of the most
fertile land to the tillablesrea Of Russia.
From this new agricultural empire will
come vast quantities of wheat and other
cereals to compete in the market of the
importing countries with the American
farmer. What the result of this will be.
especially under the baneful and world
wide operation of the gold standard, no
man can tell, but the danger is already
exciting dire apprehension among the
farming organizations of this country.
The state grange of Pennsylvania, after
deliberation, has announced the conclu-
sion that there must be either free trade
manufactured goods in order that the
farmer may be able to buy CbeaplY, OF
there must be an export bounty on his
produce to enable him to buy manufac-
tured goods which are enhanced in
price by the operation of the tariff.
PopUlism is derided in Pennsylvania as
paternalism gone mad, but it will be
observed that the Pennsylvania acous-
toned to the paternalism of the tariff
does not hesitate to recommend its ex-
tension to the farmer. The state grange
declares its belief that the proposed ex-
port bounty would raise prices in the
home market to the extent of the
bounty.
"What would become of the great mass
of consumers who are neither manufac-
turers or farmers under these circum-
stances? There is no means by which
their revenues can be raised to the aUti-
fetal level thus created for the things
they must buy, It will, as matter of
fact, be impossible to pass gu agFicul-
tural bounty bill through congress, but
the renewed demand for it is evidence
of the increasing pressure which is com
ing on the producers Of the world. The
enlarged available area and the i'm,
prOvement of means of transportation
would force prices down to some extent
but when to them is added the financial
system that enhances the value of mon,
ey in the hands of those who are purely
money owners, and without any CORES.
spending benefit to other classes, it i:
easy to see that the remedy is not il
tariffs or bounties, but in a change oil
the financial system"

Enclosing those minds SO pure and sound
Half hidden by eurls that cluster aTOundl
The heads of children.

Taking sunshine and joy wherever they go
To cheer all hearts that are sad and low!

the expectation that Mr.. Hanna would
be appointed by Gov. Bushnell TO ill
the unexpired term of the senstorship
made vacant by Shermsn's resignation,
But Bushnell had other plans, and it
now appears that if Sherman resigns
Asa W. Jones will be appointed in his
place. This would be a victory for the
Foraker men, and to Illustrate it, it is
reported that Sherman will reconsider
and hold on to the seat in the senate
As it is merry fight is on, and one Of
