report Of this commission for 1895 that
the average distance Travelled by each
passenger over the Iowa roads dur

The average fare therefore paid by each
passenger was 1854 cents. If the fare

Since the alleged claim of Chairman
Gowdy, Of Indiana, that he has been Of
fered the Paris position and has. ac-
cepted 1t has been published. Heath's
friend thinks 1t no more than justice
that 1t be made public. 1t is believed
by every one here that Gowdy has been
misquoted: that he is too shrewd a man
to announce his accetance Of such an
important post before it had been ten
dered to him.
1t is announced here that Heath has
not yet chosen between the two desir-
able places offered him, and Heath has
himself announced that he will visit
Lyman ]. Gage on today or tomorrow
to consult with him. His preference is
said by his intimate friends here to be
for the place at Washington. The pres

CARRIED FOR LESS THAN COST.


Remarkable Conclusion of the Commission
Railway Fares in Europe.
1.-THE foregoing statements. which are
based upon the most accurate statistics
obtainable. at this time Indicate: 1.
That at the present time the average
fare charged in Iowa is less than the
actual cost of transporting the passen-
ger 2. That within the last three or
four years passenger earnings have de-
creased without corresponding de-
crease in the cost of doing the
business. Some of the considerations
tending to throw light on this subject
are the rates of fare elsewhere. the
density of population. the earnings per
mile of road derived from the passenger
service, and whether q decrease in the
rates would increase traffic so as to
render it practicable to perform the
desired service at the decreased rate.
Unless changes have been recently made
that have not come to the notice OF the
commission the following are the rates
prevailing in the countries named:
"Engiand-First class, AZ cents; Sec
ond. 81 cents; third, 2 cents. France
First class, cents; second, cents;
third. cents. Italy-First class, &c
cents; second, 2.6 cents; third. Is cents.
Holland-F'irss class. 80 cents: second,
&c cents: third. 1.6 cents. Belgium
First class, "a cents; second. 1.S cents;
third. IL cents. Except in England no
baggage is carried free, and the &C.
commodations in the smaller foreign
countries are in every respect much
inferior to those furnished in America.
Often in foreign countries excursion
rates are made higher than the regular
rates on account of the additional risk
and expense.
The density ofSpopulation also aifects
the volume OF passenger tranlc. Where
the population Is dense there viii be

THE GOVERNORS ADDRESS.
He Also Draws II Lesson from Exhibi-
ton of COrpOrate Greed.

Governor Mount, in his address at Gar
field Park, spoke as follows:
The American citizen may proudly hail
with JOY each returning anniversary of
American independence. Each closing year
records progress and achievements that
add new luster to our history 1t is emf
nently proper on this occasion that we re-
view some of the historical events relating
to this natal day. Long years of OPP
pressive rule in the old world were fitting
men and women to brave the dangers of
the new. The rule of oppression intensified
a desire for civil and religious liberty. This
longing desire for freedom welled up in the
souls of men and women and became a
consuming fire. They were ready to meet
danger, endure privation and suffering, to
ties of home and face the wilds of the new
world that they might enjoy the liberties
of citizenship in government of the peo-
pie.
In this new world they were made strong
through hardship and toll, and brave in the
school of danger. Their privations taught
self-reliance Their brave hearts and strong
arms We're their safeguard and defense. BY
long years of patient toll and heroic en-
durance they created homes OF peace and
happiness in the wilderness of the new
world. With the beginning of prosperity
came also the oppreSSOr hand from which
they had fled Laws were enacted with the
avowed purpose of keeping the colonies de-
pendent. They We're governed by laws in
the enactment of which they were not con-
suited. They were taxed without represen-
taton. They had fled from oppression to
danger and darkness to secure peace and
liberty. They had braVed the danger, dis
PEELED the gloom, created homes. but OPP
preston had followed them. This infrac-
ton upon human liberty they had been in
training to resist Into the fabric of their
being were woven the threads of indie
pendence. They had been rocked in cradles
of liberty where the mothers lullaby was
a song of freedom. This noble race had
been in preparation to usher in the dawn of
a day of independence and liberty destined
to reVolutionize the world. We see the up
rising of a people schooled TO danger and
a "a
cussion of their wrongs and their resolves
10 be free We listen with admiration to
their eloquent appeals for men TO rise and
break the letters of tyranny.
From the Virginia convention we have
echoes of the impassioned, patriotic elo-
quence of Patrick Henry, urging his fellow
citizens TO prepare for the conflict. He said
The next gale that sweeps from North 10
South will bring to our ears the clash of
resounding arms. our brethren are al
ready in the field Why stand we here idle :?
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as TO be
purchased at the price of chains and slav-
cry? Forbid it, Almighty God l care not

one or more riders were sent away. The

The course was about thirteen miles long
and, considering the depth of the dust on
the road and the extreme heat, the time
was remarkable. The first time prize. a
