Here. in America alone,
we have gone no farther than NUT
tering Of what the government ought to
do.
The managers of these princely prop
critics, operating under franchises, are
the astutest of men. The harvests of
the country, the industries of the coun-
try are under their thumb. A prosper
Gus industry could fall into bankruptcy
in weeks under their frown. A states
grain could rot in the gamers if they
gave the nod. That they would so mis-
manage the marvellous system they rule
Is incredible.
And yet it is enough to give a wise
people a pause. Ambition is a dizzying
thing; great power lends itself almost
by nature to tyranny. Dare liberty
take the chance of a day when-not this
dozen, but some other dozen of men
shall find their interest in palsying the
intercourse or some industry Of a ma
ton?
OF course such thoughts are beyond
any application to present owners of
railroads or leaders of people. But
would it be too great a contribution to
the future safety of a great nation to
consider how to provide for a wise con-
troll Of railroads or to take into consid-
Grafton the wisdom of state control?

TIE PASSING oF quay.

The United States senate has done
itself credit by denying to Matthew
Stanley Quay a seat as a member of
that body, on the strength of a claim
based on an appointment by the COVER
nor Of Pennsylvania. A dangerous
precedent has thus been avoided.
That the people of the Keystone state
did not desire that Mr.. Quay should
longer represent them in the upper
house Of congress was made plain by
their failure to choose a sufficient num-
Der Of legislators in his interest to elect
him. He refused to accept the popular
verdict and while unable to command
a majority himself. was able to prevent
the election Of anybody else. He then
attempted to profit by the conditions
which he had helped to bring about by
having the governor appoint him to the
existing vacancy on the plea that the
state was entitled to full representa-
tion.
The surprising thing about the whole
matter is that 80 senators could be
found willing to vote to sustain his
himsy claim to a seat
IT is one more case in which politics
took precedence over public duty.
The result is doubtless a disappoint-
meur to Mr. quay ana MS nlenQS. Inc
indications are strong that he expected
to win. There had doubtless been a
counting of noses resulting in a feeling
Of safety or the matter would not have
reached a vote when it did. Senator
McCumber appears to be the man who
upset all the calculations of the Penn
sylvanian and his supporters. He had
been counted among the Quay men until
l. III. -
the senate and made a speech in opposi-
ton to the claimant.
The opposition to Mr.. Quay triumphed
by a margin of but one vote That vote
is said to have been cast by Mr.. Nc.
Cumber. Perhaps nothing since the
vote on the Johnson Impeachment case
has so nearly approached that notable
event as did, the vote to exclude Mr.
Quay from the senate.

REV. DAVID GOERZ.
Newton Man Will Probably Distribute
Kansas Corn in India

Mayor Drew yesterday received a six
teen page letter from DR.. ]. r. Sund-
berg, at present in Rome, Italy, asking
to be appointed as distributing agent
for the Kansas India famine corn sup
ply
DR.. Sundberg states that he was con-
sui to Bagdad under President Harrison,
and that he also was in India during
the famine of 1877 and witnessed some
of the scenes there at that time He
also speaks the Hindoo language. He
desires to accompany the Kansas relief
ships and look after the distribution of
the Kansas corn.
Mayor Drew turned the communica-
ton over to Secretary Anderson, but it
is not likely that DR.. Sundberg will be
employed to look after the Kansas corn.
The man upon whom that duty will
fall will probably be Rev. David Goerz.
Of Newton, a Russian Mennonite who
has already sent a great amount of re-
lief TO the Mennonite missionaries in
India.
The Mennonites are a very philan-
thropic people. They began raising
money for the relief of India months
ago, and while little has been said about
1t, they have been instrumental in doing
much good in this line.
Mr.. Goerz has been raising funds
among the Russian Menn0nites of Har-
vey and Marion counties. and he will
leave in a short time for India, by way
of Russia. He will stop among the
III INuSSld anu AAAdhG appears
for wheat to feed the Efndoos, and then
go on to India, reaching there by the
time the Kansas relief ships arrive.
The Kansas committee has not yet
decided whether the Kansas corn will
be sent in care of the Christian Herald
of New York, or whether one or more
ships will be chartered by the commit
tee. Even if only one-haif Of a million
bushels is given by Kansas, it will
greatly exceed the capacity of a single
ship. A large ship can carry about
900 bushels, or 5000 tons.

Contract For Steel Rails For New
South Wales.

Washington, April 25.-United States
Consul Cooling at New Castle, N. S. w,
in a recent report to the state depart
ment, explains why American bidders
failed to obtain a large contract recent
ly1 awarded for $4,000 tons of steel rails
in the colony. Two offers were obtain
ed from the United States and several
from Great Britain. After allowing for
shipping charges the lowest bidders
were an Illinois company at $736,S73 the
next above being the Barrow company
of England at S743, 242. The Illinois COM
pany, however, made certain stipula-
tons about exchange involving extra
expense and condition that the gov
eminent Of New South Wales should
have bankers credit, which would
mean paying a commission to some
American firm. These conditions
brought the tender of the Illinois COM
pany somewhat above that of the low
est English bidder and the contract &C
cordingly was awarded to the Barrow
company.

STATE CONTROL OF railways

IFrom the Philadelphia Start
According to recent fluctuations less
than dozen men are in control Of the
railways of the United States. The
statement is freighted with great con-
siderations.
over $4,000 miles Of railroad with a
capitalization of nearly four billions of
dollars are in the domination Of this
dozen men. The railroads are the life

are managed so the country develops
The railroad genius is an American
product. No other land knows the art
of sowing the land with feeders Of
roads and pouring them all into one
mighty artery in touch with all the

IS American. But it is passing into a
dozen hands.
We are probably in either the last
stage OF private railroad control or in

There is one thing in favor Of the
woman who makes a. fad of collecting
china: she doesn't let her boy play ball
in the house.
A man eIocutionist may in time hope
to become an auctiOneer, and use his
talents, but no such field offers for a
girl elocutionist.
There is an old saying to the effect
that you can't please everybody. 1t
should be changed to. You can't please
anybody"
Fortune keeps up such a see-saw that
the man for whom a town is named is
liable to be found in the poor house
twenty years later.
There is no escape: an Atchison man
married a girl who was. in an orphan

Charles Foster Claims That Ingalls,
Did Not Originate Kansas State
Motto.

Charles Foster claims to have discov-
cred that the motto of Kansas was plag-
iarized from a German playwright.
John J. ingalls, has been recognized as
the author of the famous state motto,
''Ad Astla Per Aspera,'' which liter
ally means ITO the stars through diff
culties."
Mr.. Foster is a student of German lit
erature, and recently while reading play
entitled, Prince Frederick Won HON.
burg" by the German playwright Won
Kleist who died in 1877, he came across
the Kansas motto.
The words occur in the tenth scene. of
the seventh act. During a conversation
between the prince and one of his knights,
the prince asks concerning the inscription
on certain tablets which have been re-
Gently discovered on his estate. The
knight answers that the tablets are of the
time of King Gustavus AdOlphus, and
that the inscription on one is Per Aspera,
ad Astra."
State Superintendent Nelson, to whom
the words have been submitted. has writ
ten to Germany for more information
concerning the play and the writer.
