- When the new cotton rate recently

- When the new cotton rate recently
agreed upon by the railroad commits
sion was published, the statement was
made that it was the lowest on record.
That is true; but after all it does not
count for much in competition with
wagon teams. Take the railroad rate
for 10 miles and under, for instance.
1t is only cents. That is about 81
cents bale. Not long ago liverymen
hauled nine bales of cotton from Sha-
ron at one load with two mules, and
they hauled two loads day. That,
according to the railroad rate Of 1857
per team per day, and the liverymen
do not ask but $3.50 day for team
from anybody. 1t looks like the rail-
roads ought to be able to compete with
wagon teams.

- According to the Wichita Eagle,
the real, radical difference between a
town man and farm man in Kansas
is that you can't get a town man to
acknowledge that he is as poor as be
is and you can't get the farm man to
admit that he has as much money as
he has. Come to think of it, the same
conditions exist pretty generally in this
part of the country also.

Quite a number of prominent
Americans have signed petition to
President Mckinley, asking him to use
his good offices for peace between
Great Britain and the Transvaal.
This strikes US as a pretty good joke,
especially in view of the axiom that
he who asks for justice must first do
Justice. If we should withdraw our
forces from the Philippines, then we
would be in a position to suggest to
the British that it is criminal for them
to rob the Beers of their gold.

means inconsiderable in extent and

- 1t has developed within the past
few days that the press censorship at
Manila has been abolished. The news
comes from Washington and it is stated
that there has been no censorship since
September 8. The information that
there was no longer any restriction on
the correspondents came about in a
rather curious way. The stories of an
attack that was made few days by
soldiers and marines on the town of
Novaleto minimized the work of the
marines. This caused feeling and Co.
lionel Elliott, of the marines laid the
blame to the jealousy to General Otis.
Then came the Washington statement
setting forth that General Otis had
abolished the censorship without saying
anything to the correspondents. The
correspondents, however, are not to
blame. Believing, as they had reason
to, that the censorship was still on they
have all along been careful to write

This is a Free Country.

There is q little Chinaman on King
street who has been throwing series
of dinky fits within the past month,
and the people who stand in the
shadow Of the street to peep into his
shop see strange and weird sights.
Just at the rear of the mans laundry
there is q Church. built in n closet,
and on a shelf in this is Il wooden god.
The Chinaman has not accepted any
of the religion of this country and he
is following the customs of his own
church.
1t was near2 O'clock the other morn
ing when q Reporter, coming in from Il
late assignment, passed the laundry.
From the place there driftcd the smell
OF burning stutfs and apoliccman across

saw the Chinaman do his religious
stunts. In all. parts of the room in
ccnsc was burning, and the hot air
which poured from Il crack in the
window indicated that the temperature
inside was steaming. Several Chinese
lanterns were swinging about and on
a table in the closet the strange god
sat quietly, while half dozen candles
cast pale light on his stolid counten-
ancc. Thc Chlnaman was on his knees
before the god, chanting and singing
and praying and saying things which
could not he understood. Now and
then he would let q chain fall and
then he would flop down and up again
and sing and chant all the louder.
Ouce he left the closet and came dane
ing about the room and glanced quick
ly to the glass windows at the front to
see it he. was being observed. Then
he danced bnck to the closet and fell
on his knees and made funny signs at
the little god on the shelf. A binding
rain which came up suddenly drove
the Reporter home, bnt the Chinaman
continued his worship. Yesterday the
door to the closet was shut, but the
Acknowledged man said that for the
small sum Of twenty-five cents the god
would tell q fortune, the like of which

Governor and the New York Newsboys

\ good story about Coy. McSwecn-
ey's visit to New York recently which
has SO far escaped the newspapers has
leaked out i'll the last few days and it
serves to show the manner of man

nor is.
The incident occurred on the day
or accompanied by his little son and
Coils. Wilson, Folk, Rcdding, Mauldim
and Watson of his staff had Just left
the cotton exchange and had reached
newspaper row." bound for the bridge
to go over to the navy yard, when
just at the Pulitzer building corner
they came across Il great crowd of
newsbOys of the "ccnt-a- World"
variety, getting their supplies of the
big afternoon edition Just issued.
The governor saw the crowd of r,rch-
ins. He exclaimed, "Ah. that is what
was once. Just look ut them, Miles;
come here son, want to slow you
what your f:t.hcr was when he was
your size" Reaching back and catch
ing his boys hand, twas only Il second
or two before the governor had forced
his way into the heart of the crowd of
yelling, scuffling newsbOys. He talked
with them and when they found out
who he was and that he had once been
of the ''clan," they rallied round him
and the governors face WAS all smiles.
He bought as many papers as he could
carry and Col. Folk, who got down
into the crowd, did likewise. The boys
gave the governor All ovation in their
own demonstrative way and before he
could be eXtricated from his admiring
host of ncwsbOy enthusiasts the police
had to go to his aid and clear Il way
out Of it for him.
There was no incident of his trip to
