Western lines abide by the agreements re-
Gently entered into freight rates in all di-
rections will be restored to-day to tariff.
Each freight-traffic manager of lines in the
Western Freight Association has declared
that Jan. 1 would find their books cleared of
contracts, and that they would make an hon.
est effort to maintain rates authorized. Com
missioner Blanchard, of the Joint Traffic AS
ISOLATION, does not use as strong language
as one would expect under present condi-
ttons. He is quoted saying "A large
business usually means maintenance of
rates, and this fact, in connection with the
exceptionally excellent results of the con.
ferences of our presidents last week, which,
by the way, ] believe assured frmer adj
herence to published tariffs after Jan.
than that which has prevailed during the
past eighteen months, justifies the expecta-
ton of increased, or at least continued, good
earnings. This applies to all the Joint Traf-
lie lines and to their local as well as through
business understand that the companies
south and west of us are equally gratified
with the outlook, and they anticipate better
results next year, both in tonnage and earn
ings. than those for the same period this
year. The continued foreign demand for our
products further justifies these expecta-
tiOnS.'

THEOUTLOOK FAVORABLE
RAIL MILLS, LOCOMOTIVE AND CAR
WORKS LIKELY TO BE BUSY.
Earning Exhibit of the Wabash for
miscellaneous Railway News.

Conversation with several chief engineers
and superintendent of motive power of
roads in the Central Traffic Association ter
ritory leads to the belief that in the year
1898 the rail rolling mills and car works will
have one of the busiest years of the nineties
Certainly, IL the plans of such officials are
carried out, more mileage of new heavy
steel rail will be laid and more new engines
and cars purchased than for many years.
In fact, orders for a large mileage of new
steel have already been placed, railway Of
ficials fearing that the new year might bring
a sharp advance in prices, The Vandalia,
the Wabash, the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton and portions of the Pennsylvania
lines have a considerable mileage of main
line now laid with steel rail weighing eighty
to eighty-fve pounds to the yard, and with
the present satisfactory earnings railroad
officials will be disposed to finish up the
work by laying the incomplete portions with
the heavier steel. Few railroad companies
will equip their older cars with automatic
couplers and airbrakes, preferring to wear
them out and purchase new cars equipped to
conform to the interstate-commerce act. The
Big -Four, the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton, the Wabash, the Lake Shore, the Penn
sylvania lines and the Baltimore & Ohio are
proceeding in this way. Before two years
expire most of the old cars will be worn
out or fitted to run only on branches, which
will not bring such cars into the interstate
commerce service, and new cars will be pur-
chased by the thousands in the next eighteen
months to replace WORKOUT equipments
The railways are steadily improving the
character of the passenger equipment; eS-
pecially in through service is there gen.
eral disposition to purchase the newest and
finest cars the works turn out.

Chicago Women Seek to Escape Taxa
ton without Representation.
Chicago Post.

Chicago Post.
Chicago women are much interested in a
bill now pending in the Legislature exempt
ing from taxation all property belonging to
the gentler sex until equal suffrage is
granted. Senator Munroe, of Joliet intro
duced the measure in the Senate Dec. IA
and it was referred the committee on rev.
enJIe. There is no great degree of certainty
that the bill will become a law, but the
leaders of the movement for the advance
ment of women declare it Is righteous law
and should be passed in the name of justice,
if not for expectancy.
So far the Munroe bill has attracted no
attention whatsoever, but the women who
hold property are planning to work for its
success. They claim that by being COM
PEELED to pay taxes on their property while
being refused a voice in electing the asses
sors they are subjected to the same old in
justice of taxation without representa-
ton" which caused so much trouble in the
British colonies on the Atlantic coast a lit
tie over a century ago. Senator Munroe's
bill states their position exactly Women's
should be allowed to vote. OF the two, it
is believed the wcmen-at least the prom
inent Chicago women-would prefer equal
suffrage to exemption from taxation. They
would rather vote and pay taxes on their
property. At the same time, they object
to paying assessments without having q
word TO say about the choice of assessors.
The special session cannot grant them equal
suffrage, because the subject was not men
toned in Governor Tanners call The only
immediate relief in sight is the exemption
of women'S property from assessment until
a suffrage law Is passed.

TranscontinentaI Lines.

Another effort is to be made in the near
future to reorganize the old Transconti-
mental Passenger Association. The longer
the roads work without an association the
more urgent do they feel the need of one
and the decentralization of rates in trans
continental traffic has been so great during
the most of the year that the roads de-
clare they have lost much revenue which
might have been saved if they had been
working under a strong traffic agreement.
of the association has been the position
taken by the Union Pacific, which has by
its refusal to join any passenger association
caused more trouble to the transcontinental
lines than it has to those of the Western
Passenger Association. Most of the passen-
ger men who favor the reorganization of
the association are now of the opinion that
they will have little trouble in inducing
the Union Pacific to become a member, and
it is likely that a meeting of all the trans
continental roads will be called for Chicago
some time in January.

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.



The person and mission of John the Baptist
seemed last effort of Providence TO awaken the
Hebrew nation. Had he never uttered word, his
very self would have been sermon. His plain fare
and coarse raiment protest against purple
and fine linen and faring sumptuously every day.
He took some jutting rock for pulpit had the
whole heavens for a sounding board, ard river
for baptismal laver. Add to these scenic Incl
dents the most fearless and searching speech that
ever fell from human lips. and is it to be won
dered that whole nation went out to hear HIM
sins? Well may Keble sing:
Twice in her season of decay,
The fallen church hath felt Elijah's eye
Not Reener burns in the chill morning sky
The herald star,
Shadows and bodIng night birds n.y.
When he was at the very zenith of his power

requesting baptism at his hands. John started
back in seIf-depreciation, at once acknowledging
the infinite superiority of the One who stood be-
fore him. crying. IT have need to be baptized of
thee!' Jesus, in His reply, acknowledges that He

ceremonial duty, and thus identity himself more
to earth. With this explanation, John consented
to baptze Him. An old proverb says. Go
to the Jordan, and thou shalt see the trinity
In the river, with the baptismal waters sparkling
on His brow, stood the Son of God through tle
