generally preferred to await developments at
Washington before en-: ering into new engage.
ments u5sequently when it was announce
from Washington that the Senate had not taken
up the Cameron Cuban resolution and hat there
was no prospect of immediate action in the matter
the bears .red to cover in various parts of the
list. At the same time the bulls plucked up a

The advance which followed was equal to IAN

Explanation.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
at station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath it. If any the amount Of
rainfall Of melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours. 1sobars, or solid
lines connecs pom OF equal air pressure; so-
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "high" means high barometric pressure and
is usually accompanied by fair weather: ''low''
refers 10 low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
north and south along the coast rain is probable
but when the slow is inclosed with isobars of
marked curvature, rain south OF oregon Is improb
able. With "high" in the vicinity of Idaho and
the pressure falling to the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter The reverse Of these conditions
Will produce an opposite result.

A PASSENGER RATE BILL.

The lower house of the Michigan leg
islature has passed a bill which re-
auires railroad companies to sell mile
age tickets of 500 miles for 2 cents
mile, good for any member of the pur-
chaser's family or firm. Whether such
a bill is justified in Michigan or not
depends entirely upon the amount of
passenger traffic on the roads of the
state. On what may be termed the
trunk lines running from Chicago 10
Detroit the rate would not be low, that
is low TO the extent of threatening to
make the rate of travel approximate to
the actual cost of transporta ton, so
there would be no margin left for the
purpose of maintaining the road or to
create a surplus to be used as interest
on the investment. In the more thinly
settled parts of the state it might do
this. It does not seem a radical bill,
because it specifies a minimum num-
Der of miles that shall be purchased
to obtain the rate.
In most legislatures there is a ten
dency towards hostility to railroads;
but the roads themselves are very
largely responsible for 1t. With
their power of eminent domain
they very often rie ruthlessly
over the people, and measure all
things with a monetary standard
peoples feelings, sentiments, self re-
spect and their limbs and lives. And
they generally want to put an immense
amount of humanity in their measure
to weigh against the little gold they
pay for it.
Another cause OF hostility to railroads
is the tremendous amount of railroad
wrecking that has been done. But this
must be said in favor Of the wreckers-
they are extremely impartial, caring no
more for the rights of those who have
put their money into railroad properties
than for the rights of the public.
Railroads have their rights and they
should be maintained in them; but the
people also have their rights, and they
likewise should be maintained in them
