The city council should be little shy in the future in granting "exclu- sive franehiseso for an electric street railway Many there have been in the past who have 4nibbled at the bait" but hay proven dismal failures. The council should adopt the rule in the future of reqiuring all @promot- CTS" and applicants for the franchise to deposit a forfeit without any strings being tied to it. The people are disgusted with the fruitless promises of promoters and financial adventurers who seek to build a street railway with other peoples cash, and at the same time get a large slice of it for their scheming.

The Graphic's force has not been drunk for a week. as some of it's types during the last few days would seem to indicate, but we must confess that the entre force has been more or less excited and intoxicated over the installation of a Mergenthaler Lino- type machine, one of the greatest in ventions of the century. The errors and shortness of the paper during the past few days have simply been due to the trouble of getting a new ma chine to work and the inexperience of our young operator, who never saw a Linotype until the present one was installed. When our new operator be- comes more famaliar with the key board, and the Linotype beginsto feel at home in the Graphics office, the paper will be greaty improved, and the Graphic will be hard to catch"

Controlled by Ten Men.

Recent events I'm railway affairs disclose
the fact that ten men practically control
the railroads of this country. There are
other men Of influence and power in the
railroad field, but the ten men named be-
low absolutely dominate the situation:
William X. Vanderbilt, j. Pierpont Morgan,
E. II. Hartman. C. p. Huntington, George
]. Gould, j. j. Hill, A. j. Cassatt William
Rockefeller. ]. II. Schiff and James Speyer
The social gathering of railroad men last
week at the Metropolitan Club had much
significance. On no previous occasion on
record has there assembled score OF rail-
road presidents without any manifestation
of aggressiveness individuality of in
terests. Then 1t Is noticeable that all meet
ings of these high railroad officials of late
have been characterized by the greatest
harmony and singleness of purpose. Will
liam X. Vanderbilt and j. Pierpont Morgan
now completely control the railroads in
what Is known as trunk line territory. g..
east of the Mississippi and north of the
Ohio rivers, outside of New England. j.
Pierpont Morgan controls more railroads
than any other man In the world. Under
his directing influence are the Southern
Railway system. the Erie, the Lehigh VAL
ley, the Reading and the Northern Pacific.
not to mention a dozen roads of minor i'm
portance. K. III. Hartman has within the
past two years advanced TO the front rank
of railroad financiers. Already at the head
OF the Union Pacific system, the Alton and
the Illinois Central, he is constantly en-
larging the sphere of his power. He is
now reorganizing the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf. and with Jacob III. Schiff, of
Kuhn. Loeb & Co.. he recently acquired an
interest in the Southern Pacific George j.
Gould remains at the head of the railroad
properties left by his father, and he has
kept them intact and in good condition.
The principal Gould roads are the Missouri
Pacific the Wabash. the ST. Louis South
western and the international & Great
Northern. The Goulds have comparatively
small interests In Eastern lines. James
j. Hill is the autocrat of the Great
Northern system, and an effective In
fiuence in the Northern Pacific and
the Baltimore e. Ohio Coils p Hunt
ington controls the great Southern
Pacific system. which includes the Central
Pacific Railroad and the Morgan Steamship
own large holdings OF railroad stock, and
In his representative capacity as president
of the Pennsylvania system, Is one of the
most influential members of the powerful
ten. Not the least interesting feature of
the railroad situation is the DEVELOPMENT
of William Rockefeller as a railroad man.
His recent election as a director of the
New York Central emphasized his import
ance In railway affairs. He is recognized as
the dominant power In the Chicago, Mil
wauiee * st. Paul Railroad, and as one
of the directing influences of the Lacka-
wanna. With his brother, John ID. Rookie
Teller. he controls absolutely the extensive
Missouri, Kansas * Texas system in the

THE ZULU TELEGRAPH.
War News Brought Hundreds of Miles
by Native Runners.

Julian Ralph, in Golfers Weekly.
The native runners of whom / speak are
the Kaffirs on this side and the Basutos
and Zulus of the east coast. Since l-have
never heard of such messengers anywhere
else, think it probable that they are the
most wonderful of the kind In the world.
They are capable of running almost as far
as our Indians who have been known to
cover one hundred miles in twenty-four
hours; but it is not by running that they
do either the most or the best of their
work This they do by shouting their mes
sages from hill to hill-a far speedier me-
dunn of communication than leg work.
In previous wars between the natives and
either the British or the Beers it often
happened that the first news of notable en-
gagements was gained from the natives in
Cape Town, Durham, Port Elizabeth and
such places. In this war the result of the
battle of Glencoe reached Cape Town near
ly forty-eight hours before the overbur-
dened telegraph wires brought it TO the
newspapers. II transpired, as 1t always
does in the gossip of the negroes among
themselves.
The first news of the battle of Glencoe
TO Cape Town in this way and was for
warded on the cable by an Englishman who
did not dare to vouch for 1t because he had
been but nine days in Africa and did not
know the value of runners stories." The
reason why such stories are reliable is that
whatever message is given by a native
negro is never altered by anyone who for
wards it though IL may be passed along by
two thousand men. The precise words that
are uttered by the first man are the identi-
cal ones that the last one hears.

THE TONNAGE A SURPRISE
HEAVIEST BUSINESS EVER HAM
DIED IN ANY WEEK IN JANUARY.
The Railroad Situation Absolutely
Controlled by Ten Men-The Cam
adam Roads Fall I'm Line.

The train records show that in the week
forwarded at indianapolis total of q sos
cars. 21.172 being loaded. exceeding the
record of any corresponding week of any
OF the twenty-nine years these reports
have been printed and an increase OF 1882

in 1897. 4.473 more than in 1896. 413O more
than I'm 1895 and 1888 more than in 1894.
To say that the business of last week was
a surprise is no exaggeration, as freight Of
ficials had anticipated a falling off be-
cause Of the muddy condition of country
roads after a week of rainy weather. While
the grain shipments fell off, in other lines
of traffic there was an increase, and ship
pers in some cases were unable to get the
number Of cars they wanted. This state
ment will apply to provisions. dressed
meats, live stock, lumber, furniture and
machinery, in all these lines the demand
for cars exceeding the supply. There is still
some cotton moving eastward and con-
siderable transcontinental freights are be-
ing handled both east and west bound.
Westward the tonnage OF heavy groceries,
manufactured wooden wares and the low
er class freight. such as nails. glass and
railway supplies. is heavy; shipments of
anthracite Goals are not as heavy as last
month; the Goals of Indiana, Ohio and
West Virginia are being handled in the
largest tonnage in many years. and manu-
facturers and the railroads are expert
encing some trouble in keeping up their
supply. Local business continues unprece-
dentedly heavy for January, the big business
