NOT AN AUsP1C1oUs OCCASION.

Boston, February Gait was not a par
ticularly auspicious day for carrying out
the now well established custom of q
governors public reception that Gov
Wolcott had at the State House today,
but Notwithstanding the threatening as
pect of the skies and the occasional down
pour of rain it was one of the most success
ful in recent years. The number of those
who attended was not as large as usual,
but there were more adults than usual
and fewer children, and the number of
persons prominent In affairs in attend
ance was larger than for many years.

Very Likely.

"I wonder what ever induced her tc
marry man in JAIL said the maid.
"It's just possible, returned the ma
tron, "that she wants the satisfaction of
knowing where her husband spends his
evenings"
And the club, taking it up for debate,
decided after a lengthy wrangle that in at
least one thing she had an advantage over
women who married men not in Jail. Still
the consensus Of opinion was to the effect
that the practice would not become fad.

a fetu minutes later Miss Turner sdtU hen
canter briskly through the gate.
orable rebuff she and her father had
met with. She had never felt the slight.
est inclination to invite second out
break from the irritable old hag, but
the matter of starting loom on the
plantation assumed, with every moment
that passed, proportions of great impor-
tance, and her desire to redeem her
promise Of help nerved her for the ter
rors of the interview.
Exteriorly the little hut looked peace
full enough, with it's ruddy pomegran-
ates hanging in ripe fullness and its
china trees dropping golden nuggets on
the hard beaten path of the little yard.
A faint wreath of blue smoke curled
skyward from the two chimneys that
decorated either end of the cabin, sug-
gesting lavish extravaganza in che
matter of firewood.
Plantation traditions had it that no
foot but Savanna's own had crossed its
threshold for years. Such services as
she could not render herself were churl-
ishly demanded and as churlishly rem
dered by those who only too willingly
accepted their wage without penetrat-
ing into the inner mysteries of the voo-
doo's home.
Knowing all these things, it was not
without sense of daring and of person
al peril that Jessica dismounted from
her horse at little distance from the
cabin and approached it on foot. At
this late hour of the afternoon Savanna
would scarcely be expecting intruders.
Would that make her more or less i'm
placable?
Not even the warning note Of the old
woman's watchdog hera5ded her ap-
proach. She reached the cabin door un-
observed. The wooden shutters to the
front windows had been closed for the
night.
Jessica knocked timidly, then more
boldly; then she stopped to listen. She
could hear the old crone moving about
on the inside of the cabin, and the pun
gent odor of frying chicken penetrated
the chinks. Made bold by these tokens
that life of ordinary human proper
tions was stirring in the witch's cabin,
she waxed bold enough to try the ham
die to the door. 1t yielded to her touch,
and she stepped daringly over the
threshold. Then she stopped with low
cry of amazement. She was standing in
a room furnished with all the old fash
ioned elegance that marked her own
bedroom at home.
All the rudeness of the cabin walls
had been concealed by damask hangings
which bore singular likeness to those
in one Of the locked up rooms in the
house. The bed and it's furnishings
were of the same old style elegance.
Drawn close to the fire was a lounge on
which were heaped silken cushions and
soft shawls until it was luxurious
nest. Jessica could see that recumbent
figure occupied this soft place.
By this time intense curiosity had
swallowed up every other sensation.
She stole nearer on tiptoe and leaned
over the back Of the lounge With fold
ed hands held close against her breast,
as if to still the too loud beating of her
heart, she looked down in bewildered
admiration upon the pure profile and

The Advocate and news., 1898-12-28
RA1LROAp LEGISLATION.

The regulation Of railroad charges
generally proceeds on the competitive
theory that you have been robbing us
for long time; now we will rob back"
In this game the railroads usually get
the best in the long run, because they
can cOnfscate quietly and easily while
the Interstate Commerce Commission is
helpless and the Supreme court sleeps
on. But II some other fellow proposes
"confiscatlOn Of private property" the
railroads rudely wake up the Supreme
court and the ruffian is speedily declared
unconstitutional.
This game, however, is not being
played at the special session Of the Kan
sas Legislature. The railroad attorneys
flocked in at the convening Of the ses-
sion and gave out the usual interviews
about conficatiOn Of property. But it
was not the purpose of the legislature to
conhscate even though the railroads
themselves had set the example. They
set committee at work to construct an
act that should be fair, and the law that
Is proposed is designed to prevent con-
llscatiOn without offending the courts or
allowing them to decide that it is merely
a transfer Of the conAscating power.
OF course all such legislation as this
is merely tentative, no matter how
strongly constructed the law. The rail-
road attorneys will find grounds for at
tack on the law, or, failing in that, they
will make lOophOles for evasion. AS
long as railroads or any other business
are run for private profit it will be the
main aim of the managers to pile up as
large profit as possible, and the incen"
tive will be to evade the laws and regU-
lations instead Of to obey them. The
larger the business Of course the greater
the incentive. We are coming to find
out, and quite rapidly, too, that a palli-
atiVe Is not a cure, and this will be the
case In the present instance, although If
the law passes in such way as to stand
the fire of the courts 1t will no doubt
last for some time. But we shall even
tually be driven to take the Cure-Own-
ership and control for public instead Of
private profit.
And, as President Ripley said about
q year ago, this will be no worse for the
railroad men than the present system.
We shall have to have them as mana
gers, and they will have to be paid ac-
cordlng to their ability. They will keep
on in the business, but will be relieved
of an immense amount Of worry and
double-dealing which they cannot now
escape.

the miners unions, thus encouraging
organization among the miners. AS the
Advocate and News said last February,
the Kansas coal miners needed a strong
organization affiliated with the national
union more than anything else to better
their condition. They have the district
union in Cherokee and Crawford cOun-
ties, and the proposed law, II passed, will
prove a great impetus to their Organiza-
tion wherever there is mine in the
State.
