DISPUTES WITH cABsY.

The New System of Computing Fares
Introduced in France and Germany.
Americans travelling in Europe will
chant paeans of praise to the man
who invented the new cab system,
which both Germany and France have,
to large extent adopted. Heretofore,
in preparing a schedule, it was neees-
sary to make large allowance Of
time for conversation with cabmen
No matter how well one might know
the rates, cab ride was bound to end
in heated discussion. If the cabman
was English, he bullied and he threst-
ened; if French, he argued; if italian
or Spanish, he pleaded; if German, be
groWled, and, no matter what his ma
tionality might be, he persisted until
the traveller lost his temper or weakly
eapitulated in order to stop the row
Now, all that is changed. An indicar
tor that looks like big cyclometeT
fastened to the back of the coaChmans
box where the occupant of the cab can
see 1t. When the cab starts the driver
sets the instrument going, and at the
end of the drive one can tell to a cent
what the fare should be. Rates have
been readjusted to suit this new sys'
TEN, and the charge is made by the
minute, so that if one takes cab TOT
a short drive one pays for few mln-
utes only, instead of giving the regu-
lar fee for a course. The cabmen say
that in spite of this arrangement they
make more money than they did unael
the old system. For hundreds OF per-
sons will pay the present price to save
themselves a short walk where not ono
would have thought it worth while =
spend the price of a course for tne
same distance. The only surfelsls
from the innovation are the hoIssa

The strawboard trust Will have to
make defense before the Indiana leg
islsture. About once a year the fac
tories empty their reservoirs into
streams on which the industries are
situated and kill all the fish in the
water The United States court has
been appealed to and has enjoined some
of the factories from polluting streams,
but other branches of the trust con-
ttnue to empty poison into rivers, and
the local officers Of the law seem to be
powerless to prevent it. Only this
week the factory at Carthage emptied
its reservoir into Blue river and killed
millions of fish and interrupted the
spawning, The governor has taken
notice of the destruction of the fish and
announces that If he has any influence
with the coming legislature he will see
to 1t that law is passed that will stop
the pollution of running streams by
these factories.

The determined effort of New York
temperance society to suppress the mill
tary canteen in it's state camp, is sup
ported by reports from the English ar
my in Africa, where the recent brilliant
victory on the Atbara was won by a
force composed exclusively of total alb
stainers. For months Sir Herbert
Kitchener has denied all liquor to his
troops, with the result that in one of
the deadliest of climates, no army has
ever had so little sickness, been in
such magnificent physical and moral
training, or won hard-fought battles
after forced marches of such extraor-
binary character. No wonder that the
total abstinence principle in warfare is
being pondered by military authorities
throughout the world.

In recent Cosmopolitan the editor
makes a statement in settling a wo-
mans chances of success which is puz-
zling. Centuries of intellectual and
physical idleness," he says, have
placed the average woman of today at
a disadvantage, in most things reuuir-
ing energy or stamina, when ranged
alongside the man, whose ancestors
were accustomed to stronger life" Per-
haps he means to say that men have
one line of ancestors and women an
other line. Or possibly we are to un-
derstand that man draws his supe-
rior energy and stamina from the male
side and woman her inferior energy
and stamina from the female side. In
this case the centuries of intellectual
and physical idleness" in woman would
reflect weakness only upon her female
offspring, and not upon the men. Mind,
we oheerfully acknowledge mans SUI
periority, but the writer's reasoning
leaves us sore distract. We had always
supposed that our ancestors had left
their good and evil traits to us men

GOING TO YANKDOM.
The President Makes a Trip to New
 England.

Washington, Dec. 30.-New England is anxious to have President Mckinley as a guest, and the probability is that he will visit that section early next month. He has been invited to at tend the banquet of the Home Market club and has a strong desire to accept. It is the wish of many representative men of New England that the president visit there as he did in the west and south and rad at first hand the popular sentiment on the subject Of expansion. Members of the Home Market club who have urged him to be their guest have assured him that Senators Hoar and Hale do net represent the prevailing opinion in New England on the ques- tion of exercising authority and scv- ereignty over the Philippines The president is understood to be anxious to meet the business men of Boston and of all that section that is repre- sented as being opposed to the admins tration's policy. His experience in the west, where he met nothing but the most rampant expansion sentiment, and his more recent experience in the south, where he announced in more positive terms than ever before that the policy was was not to haul down the American flag, have convinced him that the United States, with the pos sible exception of New En gland. is all most unanimous in the indOrSement of that policy. And men of affairs and standing in New England declare that their states have been misrepresented.
