A BOON TO TRAVELLERS.

The progress that is being made 20
changeable mileage b-ok by the West-
ern Passenger association will be graft
flying to the public. An arrangement
of this kind will be a boon to business
men generally. The trave ing repre-
sentatives of business houses have to
be fitted at the present time with
full Sassortment of mileage books to
cover all the different systems of road
within their territory. The purchase
and use of these within prescribed
time limit is something of a nuisance.
One book good over all lines would be
an immense convenience to the travel
ing agent, and it must result in in
creased business for the roads. 1t IS.
indeed, so manifestly to their own ad-
vantage that we cannot but wonder
why this Improvement has been de-
layed so long. Not only the man who
is constantly on the road, but the
casual traveller would avail himself
e~AA
changeable mileage ticket.
1t will happen very frequently that
a man would make a journey Of 500 or
/ 600 miles if he could do it at the mile
age rate. The points to which he
wishes to go, however. require him to
pass over the lines Of several different
systems, and he can obtain transpor-
tation only by buying regular COM
bination ticket This not only costs
| more. but it limits him to a continu-
Gus route, and no deviation from or
addition to this can be made except
at full local rates. We do not think
that it admits of a moments question
that the general adoption of an inter
changeable mileage book would multi
ply travel beyond all anticipation. One
of the greatest Obstructlons IL the way
of a larger use of railroad facilities
has been the rumber Of veXatious and
cumbersome restrictions thrown about
the lowest passenger rates. 1t requires,
as a rule, the signing OF a special con-
tract ard a personal Identification and
use within a definite time limit, and a
whole lot of other conditions that may
be necessary from the point of view
of the railroad company, but are Ger
tain1y calculated to repel interest in
and the disposition to travel On the
part of the public.
The greatest incentive to their busi-
ness that can be put forward by the
railroad companies will be a ticket for
distance, acceptable Interchangeable
over all the lines within a large area
of territory. 1t will please the public,
increase the amount of travel vastly
and practically put an end to the op-
| erations of the cut rate agent and the
scaJper, The roads that have been
| elamoring to have ticket broking pro-
bibited by legislation can quickly dis
nossess it in this way. With a mileage
hook that is just as good on one road
ss on another the inducement to cut
rates disappears. We hope to see the
interchangeable systera extended
eventually from mileage to tickets be-
tween the same points. as it is be-
tween St. Paul and Minneapolis, and

Change in Daily NOhNhtiObs Dis-
casseG by Rev. j. T. Egbert.
Rev. John P. Egbert preached an
Interesting sermon at the House OF
Hope church yesterday morning. He
said in part:
."The evil Of 50 many things is not
simply in the things themselves; it is
in our treatment of them. And the
good of the greatest things is not Sim
piy in the things themselves, but it is
in our reception of them and what
we do with them. AS an illustrations:
Debt in itself is not such an evil tnlng,
at the first sight. But how evil 1t may
become! If it fcrbids our generous
treatment of the things that demand
of US generosity; if it forbids just
treatment of those to whom we are in
debted and those whom we ought to
help: if it begets such habits of thought,
such moral conceptions that it makes
our obligations to our fellow men sec
ondary to our own comfort and con-
yenience and prosperity, it ceases to
be simply little bit of debt; it be-
comes a great moral power down in
the very heart of the life, moving it TO
evil and getting it ready for possible
evils still beyond. And so it is with
everything that is in violation of the
fundamental teachings Of the moral
law. They cannot be escaped.
what we need in this world is some
one who can lead us to what is posi-
BILE to us. For every man is to he
Judged not by what he is, but by what
is possible to him. And the leader must
he one who will lead us into greater
and greater possibilities. l mean by
that simply this: Certain things are
possible to you today-certain achieve
ments. certain thoughts, certain con-
oantions of life. If you examine your
self today and can make a just Judg-
mont of yourself, and then examine
Yourself tomorrow and make per
fectly Just judgment, you will find thae

items of life and duty, may at thirty
have them so exalted, so ldeal, SO IN

an infinitely larger possibility open
hnfore him. and he feels little by little
that all things become possible to him,
inst as the great apostle who once felt
that the law defined all the possibili-
ties of life, found years after that, by
fhe coming Of the Christ-l1fe TO his

When the advertising agent of one of the
greatest shows earth-for in the circus
business greatest is not a superlative term
at all-yisited a small town in Kansas last
summer he called upon the editor of the local
umn display advertisement in the next two
issues says the Chicago Times-Herald.
1.-TWO hundred and eighty dollars was the
reply, without seconds hesitation.
Great Scott. Are you craZy?" cried the
agent What would you charge us for a

''Two hundred and eighty-just the same"
'But how do you figure it?' expostulated
the circus man. Haven't you any settled
rate for space advertising?"
'See here, mister" earnestly remarked the
editor, 81 don't pay any attention to space in
this deal, but l do know just what adver-
tisement in this paper will cost you. You

ASHORE ON CUBAN COAST.
Steamer Niagara FIOated After
Three Days.

NEW YORK, Sept 19.-The Ward
line steamer Nirgara, from Southern
Cuban ports, arrived today after be-
ing ashore in Santiago harbor for over
sixty eight hours. The Niagara left
this port Aug. 26 last, on her usual trip
to Cuban ports via Nassau, Bahamas.
On Sept. 8. on entering the harbor of
Santiago, she grounded. A Cuban pilot
was in charge at the time of the acct
dent. An attempt was made to back
off the shoals, but without success. The
vessel remained in an easy position on
a muddy and sandy bottom for nearly
three days. Meanwhile. all her cargo
was discharged into lighters. also her
entire supply of coal, and the water
i'll her boilers. Finally, on Sept u, the
British steamer Name Luke and a pow
erful tow boat succeeded in hauling
the vessel off the shoals. Capt Crock
er and Chief Officer Hathaway made
a careful examination of the steamer
and found her uninjured.

KEEP OUT OF IT.

It is understood that the naval officers re-
Gently appointed by Secretary Long to pre-
pare Plans for the erection OF an armor plant

merit are prepared to make their report. If
the government is earnest in its purpose to
enter upon a new field of manufacture it is
open to the sharpe,,; criticism. 1t is a step
in the wrong direction. The Mckinley Rd-
ministration is committed TO protection of
the manufactures of the country, as laid
down in the st. Louis platform and affirmed
by the passage of the Dingley tariff bill
That is the Republican policy and doctrine
That the government should enter into the
business of manufacturing and place Itself
in competition with private corporations
which have expended millions OF dollars in
the construction OF plants. and during the
past depressed decade succeeded in merely
keeping them alive by heavy outlay. is a
proposition that does violence to the d-stin-
gushing article of the Republican creed. It
is tCo swift and violent a measure of policy
TO be entertained by so thorough-geing pro-
tectionist as William Mckinley we should
say.
The government has already some expert
ence in manufacturing, notably arms and
ammunition, chiefly in the factories of
Springfield, Frankfort and Rock Island, and
it is safe to say that if the cost OF their
product be reckoned on commercial principles
it would be found to exceed largely what it
could be contracted for from private factor
les. Fer reasons obvious to those familiar
with manufacturing, 10 government factory
can turn out goods as cieapiy as the private
manufacturer. 1t should be the policy of our
government by It's patronage, to foster and
build up the existing large manufacturing
establishments I5of tine country, particularly
those engaged in manufacturing ma
terial not only that It may command their
output in time of emergency. but that we may
compete with The nations of Europe in sup
plv.ng the arms and ammunition required by
Japan, China and the South American States
thereby largely adding to the commerce Of
the country. This is the policy Of England,
France Germany and Belgium, which has
enabled these Countries to secure the trade in
this Important industry. Krupp's establish
ment in Prussia is one or the largest manu-
factories in the wersd, giving employment to
over 10000 men. with their families aggre-
eating upward Fof Loo, 600 souls.
This threatened, departure of the admins
tration into the plating armor business ap-
pears to be either a reckless and Hl-con-
sidered venture or an attempt to create an
other field of government patronage.

We are glad that the duty on white pine
lumber in the new tariff bill was reduced in
the senate from 81 to 81 per thousand feet.
The lumber barons of the Northwest have
made lots of money, and if they cant pro-
duce lumber in this country with less duty
than 81 per thousand feet they had better
not cut SO much and give the forests chance
to grow. The lumbermen have continued to
make money the past few years even with
this commodity on the free list.-Albert Lea

GOING AFTER ANDREE.

The second chapter in the Andree po-
lar expedition has begun. Andree be-
gan his balloon voyage to the polar re-
gions last July. Since then his fate has
been enyeloped in mystery.
A relief steamer, fitted out at the ex-
pense of the Swedish government, was
ordered last week to leave the port Of
Tromsoe, bound first for Spitzbergen,
whence, provisioned for six months. it
will steam northward to look for Andree
and his companions. The voyage will
be perilous and costly one, but it is
an effort that must be made in the inter-
est Of humanity even more than Of
science.
Indeed, it is doubtful whether the
promise of benefit to science held out
by the most complete success possible
to polar expeditions warrants the al
most inevitable sacrifice of life and
money demanded by the search for the
Pole. hansen, the most successful of
Arctic explorers to date, expresses the
opinion that the game is not worth the
candle, that no information of material
value is to be gained by reaching the
Pole, and he emphasizes his opinion by
withdrawing from such a uselessly sac
rificial effort. His views are entertain
ed by many other scientists.
! The world at large has long looked
upon these attempts to solve the mys-
terry of the icy North as foolhardy and
uncalied for. A certain admiration is
provoked by the daring OF the men will
ing to undertake them, and the written
story Of those who have been so fortu-
nate as to return makes interesting
reading, but the substantial benefits
gained have not been sufficient to offset
the dread record of tragedy attaching
to the full history of polar exploration.
All civilized mankind will hope, also,
that brave and learned men may here
after find better fields of endeavor than
those of the bleak and barren Far
North, from which nothing more of
value to the world may now be ex-
pected to come.
