"WeIl done, good and faithful
servant" Gen. Shafter and Admi-
raj Sampson have done good and
noble work in reducing the fortifica-
tion in and about Santiago and de
stroying Spain's strongest fleet. We
have virtually won the victory that
will place the city in our hands
The news that reaches this place by
wire today tells us that our troops
have never yielded an inch of ground
since the battle began, and that
they have Santiago now at their
merry and have sent in flag OF
truce demanding the surrender of
the city and government troops are
awaiting an early reply before they
renew the bombardment, That
our arms will be victorious is going
without saying, In addition to this
we are informed by wire that the
expedition that sailed to Manila to
reinforce Dewey, had reached there
and had as a by play stopped at
the Ladrone Islands and captured
the governor aud his strff and car
ried them on with them to Manila.

The colored people gave barbecue
at Boggy, and some 1000 of these
happy go lucky people had to buy
tickets over the road to get there,
and this made a good haul for this
short line. In addition to this the
white people had barbecue on
the road aud some 800 had to take
the road to reach the seat of fes-
tivities The mills all shut down
and the road had all it could pos
SiblY do and thus the superintend-
ent was made extremely happy.

J. rring about two years or tht commission
existence II was under Injunction by the
Federal courts, and could rot during tha9
period make rates on several OF the leading
rcads, and did not make them ons tAe
others because 1t would have placed them

sion has been in actual operation only about
five years. and the saving above stated mas
been effected within that time, being an

3 The annual saving now is, and In the
future win be. considerably greater than
the average for the past five years, because
tariff rates fixed by the commission now

timated to be at least 81, 5000 or $loO.0Oo

Outside OF the matter OF the reduction

special benefit ri those who have heretofore
honestly opposed the establishment Of u
railroad commission, as we'll as those who
may be disposed to believe the specious ar
guments of the selfinterested opponests OF
such an agency, | cheerfully commend for
thoughtful consideration the following
words Of wisdom uttered by the inter-
state commerce commission in its last an
nual report: "The aggregate freight money
paid to the railroads OF the United Sta rs
during tine year ending June >, 1897, was
$3.50, Gil, S37. and this sum was ccntribu, @
for the most part by the people. 4 very
slight change in rates upon any OF the sta
pie commodities amounts to an enormous
sum in the aggregate, In most articles o.
daily use the transportation charge is a
large, and often the larger. part of the cost
to the consumer The freight rate may de-
termine whether the Kansas farmer shall
burn his corn for fuel or send it 10 the
market
Tho traffic manager may decree whether
an industry shall exist or a locality flour

question touches, but the prosperity and
welfare of the people at large throughout
