The Famine In st. Louis.

II IL n sad message which comes from tho
west bank Of the Mississippi, that there is
prospect of sauerkraut famine" in ST.
Louis. The corrohorating details which
accompany this distressing information are
too clearly authentic to leave any room
for incrcdulty. Cabbagcs are extern
sivcly raised in Missouri They are IA
distinctively feature Of agricultural
industry there as is the production OF
mules in the line Of live stock. There
are 2OO, 900 mules in Missouri, and the cab
bage acreage Is practical y"unimitcd. Mis-
souri, cabbages which sold n year ago for
81 a ton in st. Louis are now bringing sl6
ton by tho carload in that city, and are
hard to get at that price. Premature frosts
have ruined n part of tho cabbage crop, and
though there have been many substitutes
for other articles ~ diet, there is no known
way Of making saucrkraut marketable in
st. Louis without cabhagcs.
Here, then, is condition which confrOnts
the epicurcs Of Missouri, n shortage in the
chief and most necessary ingredient of
sauerkraut, plain or garni, The other cs-
sential, vinegar, Is never hard to obtain in
Missouri vineyards.
Two classes OF persons, widely separated
geographically and otherwise, will probably
accept with equanmity the authenticated
rumor OF saucrkraut famine in st. Louis
In the first group are the local Missouri
optmists, already willing to reconcile them.

reason to fear that the ethics OF contro-
versy In the Mississippi River valley Will
not permit Chicago to acquiesce In any
superior distinction for st. Louis, even
claim in the line OF saucrkraut. No admis-
sion OF tho prominence OF st. Louis in any
thing is admissible by Chicago, and the
Chicago controversalists will presently be
heard declaring, first, that Chicago uses in
year more sauerkraut than st.
Louis does or ever did; secondly,
that the Chicago sauerkraut is more
savory article, and, thirdly, that any
shortage in the limited culinary facili-
ties OF the Missouri city can be readily
supplied on demand, by Chicago, the city
of SURPRISES. A controversy on these lines
would be more diverting than instructive
and might add to the gloom OF some st.
Louis pessimists, grieving over the local
famine in cabbaRcs, or rather sauerkraut
cabbages. To restore their good cheer will
be the task Of the philosophers OF the town;
and surely they should be equal to the
task, for beer still flows in st. Louis and
no famine In livcrwurst or herring salad
Is yet reported.

using the shortest route from the seacoast
to Pretoria. The appearance OF United
States squadron in the same waters would,
naturally, be regarded rs counter move.
Should England succeed, however in
cfrccting an understanding with Ger
many, we opine that the idea Of an
anti English naval demonstration in Del
agoa Bay, IL it were ever seriously
entertained, will be dropped. The posi-
ton taken by Germany would be almost
certainly assumed by the other men,
bcrs of the Triple Alliance, and 1t seems
improbable that Russia and France, left to
themselves, would consider the present
moment propitious one for testing their
naval strength against Great Brltan's.
A very large part OF Englands navy
is already modified, or is in process
OF mobilization. whereas the French and
Russian fleets are, comparatively, UNI
prepared.
with the moral support OF Germany and
the United States, the British Government
would have nothing to fear from the at
tempts OF other powers to gain compensa-
tion elsewhere for her conquest OF the Bocr
republics. She would be left undisturbed
to prosecute her campaign in South Africa,
and that is why the brave burghers. no
matter what initial successes they may
gain, may have to recognize that their
prospect Of ultimate triumph is wel-nigh

a Democratic Vote.

Asober-minded Democrat must be puzzled
this year by the multiplicity OF issues which
his party spreads before him. What Is he
voting for II he votes the Democratic ticket?
II he has followed Col. BRYAS's series OF
speeches, he is more puzzled than ever. Tho
Colonel's heart Is divided among free silver,
the income tax, trusts, Imperialism and
militarism. He seems to try to adapt his
issues to the place where he speaks, and ho
has such a collection of issues that it is
hard to find which one he regards as most
important. He tells you that free silver and
the Chicago. platform are paramount"
Perhaps at the next station he will tell you
that Imperialism is the "overshadowing "
Issue. The Colonels stock OF issues Is
large and growing.
In spite OF the many different kinds of
bait for gudgeons that the Democratic
party is using the man who means TO vote
for the Democratic ticket may be sure that
he means to vote for free silver, which
would prevent the country from growing
and thriving at home, and for anti-expnn.
sion, which would prevent it from growing
and thriving in the Pacific. He may also
be sure that he ia going to vote as AGUI.

Has England Secured Germany's

1t is an interesting report that Great
Britain has agreed to renounce her rights
in the Samoan Islands in favor OF the Ger
man Empire. Not that American interests
can be affected materially by the transac-
ton. Under the Tripartite Treaty, any Of
the powers DESTROYS OF surrcndcring its
rights must obtain the assent of each of
the other parties; consequently, the re-
ported agreement cannot DO carried out I'M

The Railroad Conspiracy Against
New York.

The testimony given by the President OF
the New York Central Railroad Company
before the New York State Commerce
Commission reveals n sort Of conspiracy
against New York by the managers OF tho
trunk railroad lines leading to other ports,
which does great mischief to this town.
Not only is the harbor Of New York the
most capacious on the Atlantic coast,
and the most accessible to large ocean
steamers and ships. but 1t has the shortest
and easiest means Of communication with
the interior. The Hudson River and its
valley, the valley OF the Mohawk and
the plains beyond 1t, extending to Lake
Erie; and the route thence, either by water
or by dead level on land to Chicago
all combine to make the transportation
OF freight between New York and the
West, over tho New York Central Rail-
road and its leased roads, cheaper and
more rapid than over the roads of any COM
peting company. Consequently. the New
York Central would in the course of
nature. be- able to offer more favorable
terms to shippers than any other company.
and to get larger share Of the business.
To offset this natural advantage OF the
New York Central, and OF this city az its
ocean terminus, the managers OF the rail-
roads leading to Baltimore and to Philadel-
phia have, for many years, compelled the
Central TO maintain rates which practically
nullify it. and lower New York to an
equality with the less favorably located
ports. Fixed by distance alone, freights
| to New York would be little less than
/ to the competing cities, and when grades
are taken into account, great deal
less. BY threats of making rates ruin
Gus to all the roads. the managers Of those
! leading to Philadelphia and Baltimore sc-
! cured long ago an agreement with those
| OF the New York Central whereby the Cen
trail had to charge on freight for New York
| from 3 TO 7 cents per 100 pounds more
than was charged on freight to Phila-
! delphia, and from = to 10 cents more than
on freight to Baltimore. In 1876 the late
WILLIAM II. VANDERBILT attempted to lib
crate tho New York Central Railroad from
these difrercntials, but was unable to do 1t
because his competitors, at great loss to
themselves, waGci a war OF rates which
was ruinous to the Central. Nevertheless,
the dfrerentials were finally reduced so
that they are now on grain IA cents per
100 pounds to Baltimore and cent to
Philadelphia.
The State Commerce Commission, to
| which these facts were rehearsod on Tues
day, Is engaged in investigating the cause
Of the comparative decline of the commerce
OF this port and in considering measures for
arresting II. 1t would seem. as one OF its
members remarked on Tuesday, that II
