LESS THAN FIVE MILLS
AVERAGE RATE PER TON PER MILE
ON THE PENNSYLVANIA LINES.
The Scheme of the Late Calvin s.
Brice Regarding the l.. T.. q w.
Extensions to BE Carried Ont.

The annual reports of the Pennsylvania
lines east and west of Pittsburg are at
hand. They show the gradual reduction of
rates that is in progress. but not cutting
into earnings. the Improvement to track
and power making such low rates possible.
The freight rate on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road for 1893 was 499 mills per ton per
mile. on the Panhandle SO mills. In his
comments President Thomson says:
THE tonnage movement however. shows
a material gain as compared with preceding
year so that the gross earnings from that
branch of your traffic are quite as large
as I'm 1897. while through the use of heavier
power and cars of greater capacity, and
the improvements in your track and facili-
ties consequent upon the extraordinary ex-
penditures heretofore made in the revision
OF grades and alignment and Improvement
of the equipment, the cost of movement
has been reduced 10 $50 mills per ton per
mile"
On the. Pennsylvania lines east Of Pitts
burg last year there were 173. 79l, 239 tons
of freight moved. that being an increase of
14.2752ss tons over the year before. On the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg there
were 59.47s775 tons of freight moved. an in
crease of 767s.7 On the Panhandle the
tonnage transported last year was 13ASS. 49,

FRERE DE MON FRERE.

It is now some years since l spent a certain agreeable evering at the house of Cambridge neighbor. with the celebrated Pere Hyacinthe and his accomplished American wife. says Col. T. W. HigginsOn in the August Allan tic They had with them their only child. little boy of eight or ten. who had ben described in some of the French journals as q monster of de- fOrmity inaSmuch as his father had been q priest. but who was in reality beautiful in form and face. and al together attractive. The child was in his first enthusiasm of autograph col lecting. He had a pile of little squares of paper. neatly cut, and when ever q new guest ntered the room he would run to his mother or the hostess asking eagerly in respect to the latest visitor. '+Est-iI ceIebre:" Whenever he was told that the newcomer was at least sufficiently celebrated for auto graphic purposes. the child would come shy-y and gracefully up to him and ask in the sweetest of voices for his signature. 1t last there entered q short. squarely built man with white hair. white mustache. and thick eye browS still Elack. with erect figure
 fine carriage of the head. and q bearing often described as military. The host ess, after the usual inquiry. explained to the little boy. that this new guest. though nos personally celebrated. was the only broher of the celebrated Dr.
 Oliver Wend Il Holmes. The newly arrived guest being therefore offered his little piece of paper, and having presumably heard .he conversation

If any man deserves to be especially loved for the enemies he has made. that man is Henry Clay Evans. the commissioner of pensions. MT. Evans is now the target for abuse from the patent attorneys in Washington and every shot fired is a tribute to his honesty and right administration of his office. The majority of the pen sion attorneys at Washington are sharks who are in business to get all they can out of the governmenc pen sion fund. and it is quite natural that they should entertain bitter hatred for any man who stands between them and the treasury. In several instances pension attorneys in the capital city have been disbarred for fraudUleEt practices. Their attack proves that Mir Evans is the right man in the right place.

THE REPUBLIC AND THE ARMY
The Great Object Lesson that France
 is Giving to European Powers.

France is presenting Europe with an
 object lesson whose importance few Americans can appreciate. The army officer is supreme in the European or ganization of society. The monarch in final analysis is simply the con- nander ill chief of the army and every officer ic, the army shares in his suL premacy. Civil supremacy over the army seems an absurdity tn the Euro pean officer In private life he takes the middle of the sidewalk and expects difference in all the relations of society. The civil power he looks upon in the last resort as subordinate when a shock does come.
 The Dreyfus case has reversed all this. The civil court has proved su- pren1a over the court martial The civ il authorities have overridden the mill. tary authorities. Public justice has won over the .'honor" of the army.
 When this movement began lasT winter. men like Mir. Henry Norman. our late London correspondent. confi- dentIy expected that the army would overturn the republic. The army has not Instead tflere is every evidence that the rank and file of the army are too loyal to the republic to make mil itary plot possible.
 Opposition to the republic was con fined to the officers. The Generals shared their view. The score of gener- al officers who command the eighteen French army corps are the most i'm pOrtant men in the state. They are the product of long selection. They all have a certain ability. Years of power have made them secure. They are the natural chiefs of the great caste of army officers.
 The pick of these generals are asso- cia;ed in the council of the army. The body is republican substitute for the supreme command of q king. The men On it will decide in war on the commander in chief. Its members are the visible head of the French mill tary system.
 For one of them, and one of the ablest. Gen. Negrier. to be summarily disciplined by the ministry is q shock to all EufoDean militaIism. No man could have done it but a Secretary of War like Gen. Ga,lifet himself an of fcer of high rank. great experience. un- questioned professional position. bril- liant record and strong will. As he has dealt with one General after an other it has grown clear that the final authority in France now rests with law and the civil powers of the state.
 This demonstration will be felt all over Europe. In every country il will quicken the growing opposition to and increase the desire and to end military tyranny If the French Republic can deal with the army in this fashion the republic IS both stable and seCIre.-P.liladeI 1 phia Times.

A NOTEWORTHY CONVERSION.

The hard-headed, practical business
 man is not long deluded by theories, for to prosper he must base all his steps on concrete facts-t'le only real foundation for success in the world Of trade. It is therefore not surprising that an eminent democrS: in the per son of ex-Mayor William R. Grace, of New York, has been conver-ed by the logic of incon,rovertibIe facts 10 tha
 policy of protection and has come out fat-footed against the doctrine he Tor
 merly espoused. Protectionis.1s have
 always insisted that however beautiful 1he sophistries of free trade doctrin- aires. the history of every tariff enact zlent in this country is an indisputable argument agairs.. them, and MT. Grace has now acknowledged that he yields to this history The Republican takes pleasure in quoting Mir. Grace:
 "I was never ashamed of my con v.ctions when they were in perfect sympathy with the tariff views ex- pressed by Mr. Cleveland in his fam ous message, and with those held by the great body of the democratic party.
 and I am not ashamed now to say that in the light of recent events I have completely changed these views and now see, as I believe. clearly that the amazing growth in all that makes for permanent prcspe-o -ous conL.,:Ons and in all influences that have so recently established the United States as a first power among the nations of the world, not only politically, but financially and commercially, is due in great measure to the policy of protection.
 T newer dreamed that the time would come when I should be willing to make an admission of this rkind. But facts are stronger than theories, and the fact remains that in the past six years we have had abundant proof that there is some fallacy, So far as the United States is concerned, in the doctrine which the democratic party held, and which Mr Cleveland pro claimed in his message, and on the other hand, there was truth in the claims made by Mckinley, by Dingley, by Merrill and by the cher great pro tectionists, and so I am ready to say that I now see the truth
 MT. Grace adds that he is now satis- fled that much of the opposition to protection was due to the fact that in every protective tariff law there were many eases of gross injustice and un- fairness; but the mistake was made of not seeing that errors of this kind dtd not vitally affect the bottom principles of the protective policy when applied to a country like the United States. If a man with the character of William R. Grace has come to this opinion, it IS fair to infer that many democrats may be brought to this view, and, in 1 fae'-, one very distinguished democrat, l in commenting upon this assertion Of | ex-Mayor Grace, is quoted as saying: 1
 There are a good many others who ! are rapidly getting the same insight | and understanding, but who are not : ready yet to make confession of it as | MT. Grace has done"
