THE RAILROADS DILEMMA.
(New York Times.)

We wonder sometimes what the aver
age member of Congress would do il
he were put in charge of a moderately
extensive railroad. and were required
to run 1t according to the letter and
spirit of the Federal laws for such
cases made and provided. 1t would
take no long study of these laws to
learn that their avowed object is to Sc
cure uniform rates. That is to say,
they seek to compel the railroads TO
charge the same amount for like freight
over like distances, with no favor to
any place or customer. Our Congress
MANY would naturally say to himself
that in order to do this. without loss to
his shareholders and discredit to him
self, he must make sure that all roads
with which his own competed would
charge the same rates as his. He would
accordingly put himself to study the
law to see under what conditions this
Indispensable agreement could be ar
ranged and he would find that it was
absolutely impossible to make legal
agreement to that effect. If he had
any doubt after studying the law he
could have none after consulting the
decisions OF the Supreme Court.
If there are any Congressman who
can be taught by something short of
actual experience we should say that
they might learn from the report of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
which has just been laid before them.
This report sets forth in plain Ian
guage the practical helplessness of the
commission to carry out the laws I'M
der which they are appointed. 1t says.
in subs lance, that 1t is an impossbility
to insist on competition on the one hand
and to forbid the cutting OF rates on
the other and expect to apply both
principles effectively II Congress
hopes to get uniform rates it must per-
nit agreements to establish and main
tain them. and must provide some eff
fective means to enforce them. In or
der TO prevent eXtortionate charges by
Il combination of the railroads there
must be supervision and some degree
OF regulation by competent officers of
the government. To this it Is now
known that the railroad managers
would offer no serious opposition. One
thing is certain, that the whole system
of the present law has broken down:
il any real good is to be accomplished
Il new start on quite different princi-
pies must be made.

THE BODY PoL1T1c.

st. Paul. describing the Church, in /.
Corinthians. chapter XII, very aptly
sets forth the true commonwealth, or
body polite. and what he says is
worthy of all acceptation, commenda-
ton and meditation. He writes:
For the body is not one member, but
many" (E pluribus unum.) eff the
fool shall say, Because L am not the
hand, am not OF the body;-is it there
fore not of the body? And if the ear
shall say, Because am not the eye, 1
am not of the body;-is it therefore not
of the body?
IF the whole body were an eye,
where We're the hearing? If the whole
We're hearing. where were the smelling?
But now hath Cod (no less. take note).
set the members every one OF them in
the body, as it hath pleased Him. And
IL they We're all one member, where
were the body? But now are they many
members, yet but one body.
And the eye cannot say unto the
hand. have no need OF thee; nor again
the head to the feet. have no need of
of the body, which seem to be more
feeble, are necessary; and those mem
bers of the body, which we think to be
less honorable. upon these we bestow
more abundant honor; and our uncom-
ly parts have more abundant comeli-
ness. For our comely parts have no
need; but God hath tempered the body
together, having given more abundant
honor to that which lacked: that there
should be no schism in the body; but
that the members should have the same
care one for another.
And whether one member suffer, all
the members suffer with it. or one
member be honored, all the members
rejoice with it,
To the same effect. old Aesop's fable
OF the Members" teaches us. With di-
vine and human understanding thus
concurring to make us understand our
relations to one another, and the i'm
portance of harmonious co-opera-
ton to all and everyone,-whyi is it that
we are continually a cross purposes,
forever seeking to take advantage of
one another, and wranglng and fight
ing against each other. to the injury of
all and everyone las the hurt Of one
member is the hurt of the whole body).
when we should dwell together in unity
as brethren. all for all. with the dis
tinct purpose of bettering and elevat-
ing ourselves and others, and not our
mere circumstances and positions.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
THE TREATY.

The craze for imperialism appears to
nave met with a severe check during
the past week. The earnest opposition
ana sound reasoning of such men as
Senator Hoar and ex-senator Edm,Inds
have evidently borne fruit in the minds
OF the adminiStrationists and made
them pause in their over-zealous eff
forts to fasten a colonial system upon
this republic. The President indeed has
not spoken, but such mouth pieces as
Senator Foraker and some of the
strongest administration journals, nota-
bly, the Chicago Times Herald, have
proclaimed to the world that Mr.. Nc
Kinley has no intention of permanent
ly holding the Philippines. "All our
traditions, interests and inclinations
forbid the thought of annexation or
permanent occupation" says the
Times Herald

1t does not require a commission of
iunacy to determine the mental con-
dition OF any Democrat who really de-
sires any eX-Confederate or Southern
Democrat nominated next year, in
place of Bryan for President; nor does
1t require n search warrant to dis
cover the motive of any Republican or
goldite who desires such a substitution;
but the real difficulty is to conceive
how a Republican. or goldite, or billy
pynumite can derive any satisfaction
from such a suggestion. The Demo-
cratic National convention of 1896 will
be duplicated next year in ability
courage. and true Democracy. The con-
vention of 1900 will not be a Money
Trust affair, consisting of Cleveland or
bogus Democrats. nor of escaped luna
tics.

FALSE WA'TCHMEN.

No! He neither goes to sleep, nor keeps
quiet when he should be heard nor
deceives by either false alarms or false
assurances. He watches: he sees, hears

Paul "if the trumpet give an uncer-
tain sound who shall prepare himself

Benedict Arnold attempted to battle

There is no difficulty al all about the
phrases employed in designating the

tinsnish it from the old party which
Cleveland and his set had betrayed TO

"ENIBALMED" BEEF. AFTER ALL.
PHILADELPHIA Record)


When the War Investigating Com

Surgeon Daily in regard to beef pre-
served with chemicals-"em balmed"
beef. as General Miles called 1.-THE
agents, superintendent and managers
of the beef packing companies made
haste to deny that acids or other chem
ical agents, aside from common salt
and saltpetre. were used in preserving
any sort of meat to be found in the
general market, or any of the contract
beef sent to the army during the war
period. 1t now appears. from chemical

the boiling down of the refrigerated
beef which had been condemned on the

board. This chemically prepared Gem
halmed'D beef was so nauseous and so
dangerous to health that ii summarily

cents went without fresh beef during
their long sea- trip.
1t has thus been demonstrated by
scientific investiga ton that boric
and salicylic acid-;he two prescrva-
tive agents chiefly used in embalmng
were used by army beef contractors
to preserve the fresh meat supplied to
Federal troops in camp and in the field

press signs calculated to cause cessa-
lion of hostilities. Twelve adherents
ot the plan of independence, residents
of Manila. have been condemned to
death because they wrote advising sur
render and all loyal Filipinos have
been called upon to perform the ma
tional service of dispatching them. On
Friday last General Lagarda visited
Malolos for the purpose of advising
Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with
the insurgent leader and attempted to
convince him of the folly of his persist
ence in the face of overwhelming odds.
Aguinaldo was furious at the advice
and ordered General Lagarda to be ex-
ecuted Immediately. The unfortunate
general was promptly decapitated.
