The Distribution of Pie.

The statesmen of New Jersey know
how to adapt themselves to oircum-
stances. They are determined to have
their States share of the pie, if it is to
be had, and they are wasting no time
about it. They have acquiesced in
the views of the pie distributor, in
stead of opposing them and insisting
upon the adoption of their own ideas
President Mckinley has determined
to let the Senators and Representa-
tives of the several States do the wor-
rying over the patronage, while he
carefully avoids assuming the re
sponsibility of pleasing everybody.
An illustration of the plan adopted
by Mr.. Mckinley was reported the
other day, when a Senator carried
away 40 applications for office to the
White House. The President asked
if the Senator expected him to appoint
all the men suggested. The Senator
thought his State was entitled to at
least five or six good appointments.
well, ''retOrted the President, sup
pose you take those papers away with
you, and, after consulting on that
basis with your delegation, pick out
five or six of the best men, and all Join
in recommending them. There is
plenty of time
1T would be difficult to make a Sc
lection suggested the Senator.
Not so difficult for you as for me. ."
replied the President. You know
the men and | DON'T
II mean that it would be embarrass-
ing for me to indicate preference in
many cases"
You want me to assume that EN-
barrassment, then, which | will not do.
| am willing to share the responsible
ity, but cannot make any appoint
ments from your State unless you Sc
lect the men. You must get together
TOO; [ do not propose to settle any
controversies.
The Presidents plan is wise one,
and no doubt it will be adhered to
strictly. The New Jersey delegation
has got together already and has
presented its list, thus falling in line
with the new order of things and
placing that State in a position to be
attended to promptly.

The Railroad PoolDecision.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court handed down on
Monday, against the Trans Missouri
Freight Association, appears to be of
a most sweeping nature. The deci-
sion is based on the Sherman anti
trust law, and gives to that statute
force greater than the legislation
now before Congress, intended to do
what that law was supposed to be
powerless to prefOrm. According to
Senator CullOm, chairman of the Sen
ate Committee ON Interstate Com
merce, lit will have the effect of alb
sOlutely putting an end to every kind
of joint agreement concerning traffic
rates, distribution of profits, etc, by
the railroads. From this time for
ward no such agreement will be posi-
BILE except by express enactment of
Congress"
1t is feared that the decision will
be followed by rate wars most disas-
trous, if the hint given in Senator
Cullom's language is not acted upon.
The country can hardly be Obvious
to the evils that spring from railroad
wars. The good which attends them
is generally out of all proportion to
the cost. Competition should be en-
couraged by congressional act, up to
the degree where it is legitimate and
not destructive, and combination
permitted under the Interstate Com
merce law, where such is to the clear
advantage of the people.
Railroad wars, it was once said have
cost the country as much as to have
the railroads themselves, and the
sound business sense of the country,
as well as that of the transportation
interests, will doubtless evolve some
thing that will serve as makeshift un-
til the sherman law is perfected ac-
cording to the necessity indicated by
Senator Callum.

\ Timely Topic

The desirability OF good roads has
heretofore been alluded to in these
columns, but it is a subject that will
bare mentioning again.
There may be those to whom the
topic is entirely new. TO any such
who may read these lines we desire
to say that those who have given the
matter much thought declare that in
many respects good, smooth, hard,
level roads are much better for gener-
al purposes Of travel and transporta-
ton than highways filled with ruts
and mud-holes and loose sand and
stones OF all sizes.
This appears like bold statement
when we consider that the latter
class of roads has been in vogue in
many localities for century or two
and no one has seen fit to secure
others. However, it would almost
seem as though there are obvious rea-
sons why hard, smooth, level sur
face is better calculated for the roll
ing of a wheel than a very soft or I'M
even one.
And we almost feel justified in say
ing that, all other things being equal
a wheel with a broad tire would be
more likely to stay on the surface of
the road, and thus pull easier, and do
less damage to the roadway, than one
with a narrow, cutting tire.
Parties who see anything of inter
est in this subject of better highways,
to which we have again referred. are
requested to exchange ideas with
their neighbors and others, with a
view toward securing good roads in
their respective communities.
