A valuable report recently issued by
the Department of Agriculture gives
an elaborate series of tables comparing
the decline in prices of all classes Of
commodities and in railway rates. In
GLIDING 1896, the reduction in the price
of only one crop, and that of minor
Importance, Is seen to have been
The decline in the latter, taken for a
period of thirty years. has been % per
cent greater than in the price of wheat
and IL per cent greater than in that OF
hay. In this report the rapid decline
of the cost of transportation is shown
by the quantity o. a commodity which
now has to be given to transport it a
given distance, compared with the
quantity it used to take. Thirty years
ago it took one bushel out OF
five and three fourths bus
hels to transport wheat east
from Chicago; in 1897 only one bushel
out of seventeen and one-fourth bush
els. In other words, seventeen bushels
of wheat are now taken from Chicago
to New York for the same toll as five
bushels in 1867 The report shows
that the same is substantially true OF
other commodities, and that railway
rates have declined out of all proper
ton to the decrease in the prices of all
uuOT CoTIlCd. I1o" lObS
er this condition of affairs can be main
tanned it is impossible to forecast.
The cost of transportation is I'M
doubtedly being reduced by better ma
chinery and better methods, but
railway managers contend that other
causes enter this problem, over which
they have no control, and which keep
rates below the profitable line. The
interstate commerce statistics this
I'll Al
of this assertion.
Now that the war is over, SAYS r. B.
Porter in the New York Sun, the rail-
way question is one that presses for
immediate legislative action. That
the prosperous American farmer will
be willing to accord these great inter-
ests, second only to his own, an
impartial hearing and fair treatment,
there would seem to be no doubt.
The era of prosperity which has come
to our farmers has not in the slight test
degree been shared by the railways,
and while other interests have flourish
ed, the railway interests have seeming
ly met with deeper and more lasting
discouragemeut. There never was a
more Opportune time for the display of
real craftsmanship than the present,
and if our legislators at Wash
ipgtop this winter can find some solu-
ton of the railway problem which
will open up prospects for the future of
our transportation industry, the ener-
gy, enterprise and ability OF the Am
erican railway managers will do the
rest. In view of existing conditions,
those who for years have opposed all
reasonable railway Legislation may well
withdraw their opposition, for attacks
on railways,will receive no support from
the labor interest, whose prospects
have been injured by the deplorable
condition of our railways, nor from the
farmer, whose prosperity has made
him for the moment impervious alike
to the wiles of free silver advocates
and the Establishments of populistic
demagOgues.-Exch

Hits record. Mr.. Hit has had q
large and varied experience in dip

Prizes for Essays on Diversificatior

Dallas News.
The News directs attention to an Of
fer of premiums flor information upon
the results of diversified crop farming
in Texas. The purpose of making this
announcement so early is TO put the
producers and farmers of Texas
upon notice, so that they may take
note of the results OF their different
operations. The News believes that
in the diversification OF crops, the rails
ing and breeding of tine stock and an
Increase in attention to the poultry
yards and the dairy farm will come
greater prosperity to Texas than in
any other direction that could be fol-
lowed. The work of education in these
lines has now been going on for some
time, and with increased attention in
the direction indicated the state of
Texas will go forward until it takes its
place as the foremost state in the en-
tire union. No better educational
course can be presented to the pro-
ducers and farmers of Texas than to
diSersifcation and stock raising. With
this purpose in view The News some
twelve months ago offered
premiums for articles upon crop
diverSihcstion, and results thus
far reached have been remark ably
satisfactory. With the further purpose
10 view of still melting interest in this
direction The News offers premiums
amounting to $3.50 for articles OF re-
suits inuring from new conditions,
specifying total number of acres in
cultivation, stating how many acres for
each product, the total amount realized,
aud the average of gross and net results
per acre. The announcement now made
thus far in advance is to give the far
mers and producers OF Texas an oppor-
their labors, to note down accurately
and Systematically the product obtain
ed, and to present the same in written
form for publication in The News
some time next year. By this means
of publicity the attention of the entire
agricultural and stock raising COM
munity of the state will be directed to
profitable fields of enterprise, and the
state as q whole will be the beneficiary
thereof. This is work of educa-
tion more profitable than the discus
sion of politics, and The News trusts
that its efforts in this line will be ap-
precisted by the producers and farm
ers OF Texas, and that the record OBJ
taiued between this time and the
gathering of crops year hence will
be such as to prove conclusivcly
that this special work of education
mas not been undertaken in vain.
Within the next decade the state of
Texas will be the first state in the
union in all that pertains to the COM
fort of its people and to the blessings
that follow economy and q wise use of
what nature has so lsvishly placed at
the disposal OF the inhabitants of our

THAT the United States will build the
Nicaragua canal, or at least will have
charge Of the building and will control
It after IL Is built, is now almost a GER
tsinty. 1t is certain that no other ma
ton will ever build 1t. Wecould not per-
NIT il at any hazard. There is only one
obstacle to the execution Of our plans.
That is the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty, sign
ed in 1850, between this country aud
England. The treaty provides that nei-
ther the United States nor Great
Britain "will ever obtain or maintain
for itself any exclusive control over
said ship canal" The canal must not
be fortified, and it must
be always neutral in event
OF war. and exempt from blockade.
The two powers bind themselves to
guarantee these provisions. In 1850
Mr.. Blaine tried to secure a modifca-
tion OF the terms of the treaty, but
Great Britain declined, Now, however,
the conditions are far different, Ind it
is not unlikely that Mr., Hay may be
able to free this country from q bond
that must become more and more gall
ling rs the years 60 by. We should
never consent to Englsnd's building
the canal even IL she wanted to. 1t is
necessary that we should have the canal
and the United States will have
to build 1t eventually. AS for the
neutrality part of the agreement, tina
arrangement would be by long odds the
best for US. That would make it I'M
necessary for US to maintain squadron
at each end to guard it in case we were
at war, and 1t would also enable US to
avoid complications with other war
ring powers. But the canal must be
built and controlled by Americans.

z. T.. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23d, says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea in q
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see doctors
for it was a case of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied
with ammunition and rstions, but
thanks to Chamberlain 9 Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our health:
in fact, l sincerely believe that st one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for If the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My com
rade and myself had the good fortune
to lay in a supply of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left Tampa,
