Iha Fsst Fright SsrVits o. To 3. 4
Q. Explained.
TRAIN NO. 81. OUT OF NEW YORK.
MAKES ALMOST AS GOOD TIME
AS THE EXPRESS INTEREST-
ING OHIO RIVER RAILROAD
RUMOR - MISCELLANEOUS LO-
CAL RAILROAD NEWS.

The Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad to-day
New York City and the West. The
freight traffic is one OF the most import
ant factors in the railroad business,
there being hardly anybody who is not
either directly or indirectly interested.
Realizing this fact, the company have
left no stones unturned to give the
public the best service in the land.
Out of New York the B. & o. have a
train numbered 81, which leaves at
4:30 p. m. This train makes direct
run west and goods shipped on 1t are
received in Wheeling SO hours after
wards. In Chicago the train arrives
so hours later, Cincinnati, 40 hours,
Cleveland, SO hours, DenOit, Mich, %
hours, Duluth, Mimi, 108 hours Kan
sas City, "a hours, Omaha, So hours,
San Francisco 241 hours, and Pitts
burg SO hours later. This fast record
is one that no other road can beat, nor
have any of the other lines even at
tempted it.
In shipping out of New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore many people
have their goods sent by this train IN
preference to the express. 1t is almost
as quick, and then there is big dit
ference between the two rates. Out or
Baltimore, and in fact over all the diff
ferent divisions, this train No. 81 is
given right of track over all other
freightS. 1t is also a common occur
renee for passenger trains to be side
tracked in order not to delay this i'm
portant freight. The officials OF the
road keep strict tab on the train, and
if there be any trouble they are not
slow to remedy the same. Train crews
are held to strict account, and If they
are a few minutes behind the schedule
the delay must be satisfactorily given.
Wheeling merchants are much bene-
fitted by this train for the reason that
their goods are received the next day
from the East Mr.. H. H. Marsh, COM
mercial agent of the company, who has
his Office in this city, has done much to
build up the trade of this important
train. Every merchant has been ac-
quainted with the excellent service
which has resulted in everybody or
dering their goods shipped only by the
B. & 0. The company also have train
of the same class direct from the West
to New York City. The time made is
not as quick as in the opposite direc-
ton, but an excellent service is given.
Taken altogether the freight traffic on
the Baltimore & Ohio is very large,
and as long as the company maintain
the service that is now in force they
need not fear of the patronage de-
creasing.

THE OHIO RIVER SCHEDULE.

THE OHIO RIVER SCHEDULE.
The new time card on the Ohio River
railroad is expected to go into effect
about the middle of May. Important
changes in the running Of the trains
are to be made if all reports are true.
Two new trains are to be added in each
direction, according to the programme,
as given out, which will be of much in
terest to the travelling public. The
company have about decided to have a
train leave Sistersyille in the morning
to run to Wheeling and thence back to
Point Pleasant. A train is also to leave
Point Pleasant each morning, running
to Wheeling and thence to Sistersvllle
These trains will be accommodations,
stopping at all places along the line.
The train which now leaves Parkers-
burg each morning and is an accommo-
dation to Wheeling, is to be run to
Pittsburg without change of cars. A
number of the smaller towns along the
line will also be passed without stops
being made. In the afternoon out of
Wheeling for the south the train now
leaving at Ais o'clock will come
through from Pittsburg. Parlor cars
are to be attached, thus giving the
public excellent accommodations. The
crews of these trains will not be run
off the Ohio River line, neither will the
engines run further than Wheeling.
The Ohio River Company's passenger
service all along has been almost all
that could be desired, but the present
superintendent, Mr.. J. H. Hamilton,
wants even better service, and is de-
termined that the travelling public
shall bauo ax-ory oooopop, 10 zion

Rumors OF the removal of the Amer
lean Bell Telephone Company to New
York are renewed with a seriousness
that looks like business, The complaint
is not taxation, though the company
paid into the state treasury last year
more than 100000, and is likely to pay
about 100000 this year, as a result OF
the rise of the stock The trouble is
that the law forbids the sale of new
stock at par and compels stockholders
as we'll as outsiders to buy it virtually
at the market price. The removal ap-

THE EXPANSION ISSUE.
1Prnvidence .Iournal.l

No man who advocates the with
drawal of the United States from Porto
Rico and the Philippines can be chosen
president. The weakest possible ex-
pansionist candidate can be elected IN
1900 against the strongest possible anu
expansionist candidate These are
strong statements, but they are pased
upon principles that are deep-rooted IN
American minds and have always ex-
ercised immense influence in American
history. A fact that removes all shad-
ow of doubt from the outcome of the
next national election is that the anti
expansion candidate is also pretty sure
to be a free silver adherent. The COM
bination means victory to the oppos-
ing leader
Irrespective of party and all other
considerations, no man can hope to &C.
cupy the White House at the beginning
of the 10th century, whose chief claim
for election Is his determination to pull

publican victory is practically certain

WHY LEE Cattle ScARcEa

The recent rise in the price of beef
has been explained by the decrease in
the supply of cattle, but there are other
circumstances that also require explain
alton. 1t appears that the number of
cattle in the United States has been de-
Ginning for seven years, until there has
been an aggregate loss of ten million
head-a decline from 81, 651, 2S9 to 81, Ss4. :
225. When the cause for this
phenomenon is sought, however.
the public is left entirely in
the dark. The records show a
regular increase of consumption at
home and some consider able increase in
exports. There is, therefore, no lack Of
demand to stimulate production. 1t is
suggested, however, that the decrease
of production has been caused by the
packers and slaUghterers themselves.
The small number of these concerns
makes a combination easy, or if there
be no combination, complete avoid
ance of competition in bidding.
Decidedly significant in this connec-
tion is the complaint of the cattlemen.
that the price Of beef on the hoof has
been forced down so low that there is
no profit in the business. If their state
ment is to be accepted as true, their
natural policy would BE- to cease raising
cattle, and thus reduce the product.
AT all events, it is notorious fact that
at the very time that the slaughterers
raised their prices, because Of an all
legged shortage OF the meat supply, and
a consequent increase of price for beef
on the hoof. the price of live cattle in
the west was actually lower than it
had been, and since then 1t has gone
lower still
1t matters little in what light this beef
business is viewed, there is ALWAYS
something that needs explanation. and
the need is evident here. The two most
pertinent questions are: Why should
the price Of beef go up when the price
of cattle is falling? Has the decress SO
In the available supply OF cattle been
caused by the beef packers themselves.

In the whole civilized world outside
of France there seems TO be nobody,
except some expatriated Frenchmen,
who believe in the guilt of Dreyfus. To
say that all of the rest of the world,
naturally impartial and unprejudiced,
is wrong and that the Jew baiters of
France alone are right. would be mon
strous. One other point seemingly not
yet noted and equally important, is that
many high-minded Frenchmen, like
Capt. Freystaetter. Col. Cordier and
others who once believed in Dreyfus'
guilt, have had the manliness to freely
and openly acknowledge their mistake,
while, without exception, all who orig
inally thought him guiltless are now
stronger than ever in that belief.

Manchester, n. H, has tried tele-
phone competition, and the fate of the
independent company has been the
same as in other places. A report from
Manchester states that it has passed
into the hands of a receiver. 1t was
started under the most favorable con-
ditions four years ago, but the income
of the company was insufficient to
maintain it. Those who subscribed to
the service of this Independent COM
pany found it limited to Manchester,
while the old company's patrons were
able to reach distant cities and towns,
which caused dissatisfaction among the
former 1t was found in Manchester
that the value of telephone service is

Much is to be hoped from the intro
duction of coke as fuel among the New
England railroads. There has been
some disposition to regard the innova-
ton as an important link in Henry M.
Whitney's enterprises, but that is Of
small moment from public standpoint.
The fact is that coke is cheap when
it can be had at neighboring market,
and at the same time it is blessing
to the travelling public and to
residents on the lines of the railroads
because of the immunity from annoying
cinders and more dangerous sparks
Both the Boston and Maine and the
Boston and Albany are making the

POLITICAL SITUATION.
Rumor Declares Opponents
for Mellen and
Mclaughlin.

Ward men say there is a strong
likelihood that Arthur NJ. Taft will re-
consider his withdrawal from the leg
islative contest, and may be looked for
to give Mr.. Manning a hard fight for
the nomination. His friends want him
to reconsider his decision whereby he
drew out of the fight, and say that he
will have strong support ]. B. Mi
rick, whose candidacy has been an
nounced, is putting in considerable work
among his friends
Friends of Representative Hagberg, in
ward 8, say he Is assured of reelection,
and that others who have an eye on
the office might as well keep out Of the
race.
Peter F. Sullivan announced yester-
day that he is a candidate for legisla-
tive honors In ward 8. In addition to
his business connection in the city, Mr..
Sullivan acquit' himself creditably
during the SAINT campaign, when he
served as musicii.. with the Ninth reg
fment. He is a member of several Cath
Ollie temperance societies, and the An
Client Order Of Hibernians. His friends
say that he will give William I. Nc
Loughlin, the present encumbent, a
hard run for the office. 1t was stated
last night by Mr.. Sulhvan's friends that
he would not go into the caucuses, but
would run on nomination papers:
Still another movement in democrat
ic circles is for a change in the repre-
sentative from ward 4. Friends of
Mark N. Skerrett want him to enter
the fight against James H. Mellen, who
it is understood desires to retain his
position. Mr.. Skerrett says, however,
that he will not enter the fight this
year.
OF course, Mr.. Mellen will have an
opponent in the fourth ward, but it is
q little early to determine who will be
selected to pit against him. Council
man John r. OLeary has been spoken
of as a possible candidate, but Mr..
O'Leary says he has not given the mat
ter any consideration.

(New York Mail and Express.)

Mr.. Lindsay's discussion of the prob
lem presented in the Philippines is par
ticularly clear and significant. After
disposipg of the absurd contention that
the nation has no power to acquire new
territories except on condition that 1t
shall ultimately erect them to state
hood, he says, speaking of the Philip
pine islands,:
The inhabitants of the territories can
demand no political rights. Practically
speaking, they are the wards of the
general government, without political
rights or political status. 1t rests
with congress to say whether any of
the people resident in a territory shall
exercise the rights of suffrage in the
election of their local officers, and that
right, when granted, may be freely ia
ken away, but notwithstanding all this,
the personal and civil rights of the in
habitants of the territories are secured
to them as to every citizen by the prin-
ciples of constitutional liberty, which
restrain all the agencies Of government,
state and national"
The expression quoted above exact
ly describes the political status of the
Filipinos. They lost no rights by the
destruction Of Spanish sovereignty and
they gained none by the assertion OF
American control. What their status
shall be remains to be determined by
congress, and in the meantime they are
as Mr.. Lindsay says, wards of the ma
ton without any political institutions
which this government is bound to con-
slider. The reorganization of civil af-
fairs in the islands must be preceded by
the full establishment of American au-
thority, and then the work of political
reconstruction will go forward some
what as 1t did in the southern states af-
ter the close of the war for the Union,
with guarantee to the Filipinos Of a
larger measure of liberty than they
ever enjoyed under the domination OF
Spain.
