sired as the Great Northern, while in
return it gives an equal privilege to the
Great Northern in Oregon. This prop
osition is now awaiting confirmation.
A scheme is being perfected in Chicago
to compel users of Interchangeable
mileage tickets of the western roads TO
travel 4 600 miles instead of 1000 before
securing any rebate and is being adVo-
Gated by some of the western lines. II this
plan is adopted a loud protest will come
from thousands of persons now using the
Interchangeable tickets.
Only the largest wholesale firms Would
be able to secure the rebate now given
when 1000 miles have been Travelled. The
smaller merchants and jobbers would be
forced to bando much territory now
profitable to them, because of having to
pay higher transportation rates than
their rivals would. From the stand
point of the travelling public, the western
railroads should owe instead of raising
the rates. 4
The eastern lines pay a rebate of 10
whenever a ticket of 1000 miles is used,
and there seems to be no good reason
why the western roads shoul not do the
same. The real object of the advocates
of the increased mileage scheme is to
raise passenger rates by making it im-
possible for many persons to use the
interchangeable tickets. The present
agitation in the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION may prove a boomerang to the
results. 4

which had been stored away in al old

on hand for 10 years. The price paid fo,
the cotton was 9 cents.
In 1870, when the first lot of Mr..
Boyd's cotton was produced, the price
ranged from l:' l/lG to II! cents in 1850,
from 10 ll/lG to l3t, and in 1890 from

Had Mr.. Boyd sold his | | bales in 1870,

each bale weighed 800 pounds, he would

The Republican Party In Great Danger.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 4.-Tho Times
Herald, whose proprietor is as close to
President Mckinley as any man in tho
country, Senator llama not excepted,
will print an editorial in tho morning
headed, "Under tho Great Wrong to
Porto Rico," warning the President aud
tho Republican party that defeat awaits
them in November next If n change Is
not made in tho policy towards Porto
Rico. Aftor saying that tho bill only
passed tho Lower House of Congress
bccausu tho President personally urged
sovoral representatives to vote for it, tho
editorial proceeds
Thus was tho grioyous blundor COM
mitted. How griovous and fraught with
what diro possibilities, not only to tho
Republican party, but to tho country,
neither Congress nor tho President could
hayo forcsccn. But they must renlizo
now that tho tariff section in tho Porto
Rico bill has aroused a storm throughout
tho country that will not down.
If Congress and tho President persist
in their prosont course nothing can save
tho Republican party from defeat noxt
November.
1t will surely cost thom tho House of
Representatives and it may cost thcm tho
Presidency. Worse than any of these
possibilities, it may involve tho election
of Bryan, with all that implies.
But one course is open to tho Rcpubli-
can party. Lot it faco tho situation
with the only spirit that can compel re-
spoct in tho presence of stupcndous
and humliating wrong.
Let it acknowledge the mistake and
make haste to regain popular confidence
by undoing tho contemplated wrong to
Porto Rico.
There is no shame in rctreating from
the Verge Of procipico before taking
tho last irrotricvable stop. Tho only
salvation for the Republican party is
through tho gate that gives irco trade to
Porto Rico. The country looks to Prcsi-
dent Mckinley to rise to tho full stature
of a statesman who darcs to acknowledge
mistake and undo Il wrong.
