Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-12-27

The discussion Of practical means OF
abating the smoke nuisance which took
place at a recent meeting of the West
ern Railway club in Chicago seems to
indicate that the railroads are willing
to do their share toward solving the
problem which is a perplexing one in
most manufacturing and railroad
towns. In railroad towns particularly
is the smoke nuisance most menacing
to public health and comfort. 1t Is fu-
tile to expect relief In places where
hundreds of the locomotives continue
to belch forth their volumes Of carbon.
1t is therefore gratifying to learn that
the railroads themselves are taking
steps looking toward the abatement Of
the evil Experiments have been and
are still being made to this end, but
thus far they have not proved wholly
satisfactory. 1t Is the opinion of some
experts that a comparatively smoke
less fuel for locomotives can be secured
by using 60 per cent coke and 40 per
cent soft coal 1t Is also claimed that
the process Of coking bituminous coal
can now be carried on so cheaply and
It can be produced In such abundant
quantities as to make 1t entirely prac-
teal for railroad purposes.

Tennyson,s Humor.

There was playful humor in Lord
Tennyson that rarely showed itself I'M
less the poet was within the familiar cir
Gle of his friends. John Blackwood. a
member Of the famous firm Of publishers.
gives an amusing instance of this In one
Of his letters:
ne.ghboring parish, and Tennyson were
chatting each other. as their custom was,
concerning the merits Of their respective
houses.
IL believe part of Bonchurch belongs
to you," remarked the poet.
''The whole of it," said White.
"You mean" retorted Tennyson. ''the
hole you live In"
And the Rev. James White was 81

DE-, ORAH, IOWA, DEC. q. 1899.

The Emden chamber of commerce
complains to the Prussian minister Of
trade of what is called the "ruinOus
competition of American and Russian
horse breeders. 1t is said that horse
breeding in Germany has ceased to be
profitable. and protection is asked for.
The number of horses sent from Rus
STA to Germany is not known. The
number sent from this country ought
not to distress the German horse breed
ers. During the nine months ending
Sept. 80 last only 1854 horses, valued
Mt SCOT 600 were shipped to Germany
That there was good market In
Europe for American horses was dis
covered in lS9i-5. when the displace-
ment of those animals on street rail-
roads by electricity. combined with the
hard times. had made horse breeding
seemingly Improbable business. Dur
inc the fiscal year 1893 COP horses were
sent across the ocean. During the FIRST
nine months of this year 26.143 were
shipped to the United Kingdom and
the continent of Europe. The English,
Scotch and Irish purchases. some on
army account and some for private
use. aggregated $4,000. the price paid
being two and a third millions.

New Zealand. which has a limited
territorial area. was a few years ago
confronted with land famine. This
came about because the settlement of
the country was allowed to proceed
upon the same basis as the settlement
Of other countries has proceeded.
Wealthy men bought up large tracts.
and In a short time there was no land
left for the settler. though great areas
were still uninhabited.
To correct this evil Che government
is now buying in..the great estates.
subdividing them and leasing them to
small holders. The leases are good as
long as the landholdeys wants the land.
The rents more than cover the interest
on money borrowed by the government
TO make the purchases.
Such system renders the future
monopolization OF lands by corpora
tons and individuals impossible. New
Zealand is making number Of exper-
iments In political and economic fields
which may prove Of value to the rest
of the world.

A soil which With go)l cultivation
produces, one yer after anUh,r, such
crop, "a are raisa1 in Iowa aud Mime
sofa. the Da xotas and eastern Kalsis
and Nebraska, is heritage of alno' "
inestimable value. That lean and
starved out condition in which so much
of the soils of the eastern and southern
states is now found need never affect
these western acres, and never will if the
land is used in any sort OF a reasonable
manner.

Should there be another European
war railroads will play q most impor-
tant part in it. Nearly all the railways
on the continent are built with a view
to their utilization for the movement
Of troops and supplies in time of war
as much as for commercial use In time
Of peace. The strategical use Of rail
ways has been carried to the greatest
perfection in Germany. where there
are now l6 available routes to the
Rhine against nine In 1870. The Rhine
can be crossed by troops at 20 points,
and the plans for sthe. invasion Of
France are we'll laid. q The German
army. like the French. Austrian. Rus
sian and Italian. has corps of rail-
way engineers. there being three regi-
ments in the kaiser's army. These
men are well trained and are supplied
with material for laying railroads in
an emergency. There are also flying
bridges" while the French army has
special contrivances for the quick
clearing Of tunnels blown up by the
enemy. The value Of these contriv-
ances will be appreciated by any one
who has watched theS caIhpaign Of the
British against the Beers In South
Africa. where the former have been
greatly handicapped. particularly In
transporting re-enforcements. by the
destruction of railway tracks and
