Tucson jobbers. That is the way this
pesky little critter, the 'Guaymas ter
minal' helps the Ell Paso jobber.
Here is a tangible grievance, and
the transportation committee. still do
ing nothing about freight rates pre-
scented the matter to general freight
agent Shepard of the Southern Pacific
during the conference at the chamber
of commerce on his recent visit TO this
city. Mr.. Shepard stated that he had
just learned about this abuse OF the
GuaymaS terminal to discriminate I'M
justly against Ell Paso. and that he
had. Or would. put stop to it.
But If a plan of this sort has been
used once il can be done again. and
perhaps is being done right now. And
how can FL Paso jobbers expect to dis
cover and balk all underhand schemes
of discrimination of this sort? who can
tell what .Rincon terminals or An
thony terminals or STEMS Pass ter
minals.' or other schemes are being
worked to shut FL Paso jobbers out of
Santa Re or Southern Pacific territory
The fact is that the question at is
sue between FL Paso jobbers and the
railway companies is primarily not a
question of rates but question of pol
icy. As long as il is the clear if not
ayowed policy of the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific companies to keep the
bulk Of the trade of their respective
territories in the hands of jobbers To-
Gated in those territories. so long FL

method. then by anothr. If by argu-
ment. OF dicker. or threat. or boycott.
the railway companies can be brought
to change their policy, the question of
rates will he settled in short order.
And until such a change OF policy is in

trade in the territory from which she
Is now debarred. Every apparent con-
cession will be negatived by Quay

but effective device
The shippers of FL Paso should not
permit themselves to be deceived or
cajoled into giving up their plans for
working unitedly. systematically. per-
sistently. by every proper method TO
secure and protect their rights

QUEER NAMES OF SOME FLATS
Do They Affect the Characters of Those
 Who Dwell Within7

Who Dwell within7
 sAs for me-" ventured the man with the wooden head, T cant indorse your views. You lay claim that our apart ment- -house-our fiat-nomenclature as given expression in Chicago, is too airy, too exalted, too fanciful. On the contrary 1t is not the one nor the other nor the last of these. You say; Here; a man lives in the Santa Maria. He comes home with Saturday night tolerance of feeling for all men. He is willing to sleep on the grass in the in- ner court. He is even ready to indorse the views of the janitor-to carry the white mans burden for the off-scour- ing of our social system. Then, yoE say, into what unhappy contempt does he bring name conveying such ten- dernes as does Santa Maria? My con- tention is that is all wrong with the decency of the man and all right with the name of the apartment-building The Abbotsferd, you say. Great Scott! can man live up to that? Can he dwell always upon the pinnae1es of romance while stufing cheese and beer in little back room? Gan he live up to the idea of dwelling in tbe compan- tonship Of fatted knights, who rescue distressed maidens when at his daily business he has to hagg1e over the sale price of pair of pants and to figure with the girl who brings him his lunch upon the relative merits of corned beef hash and chicken wing pUree with Fiee?' While you are right in part. you are wrong in most. All of us admit that the sentimental atmosphere sur rounding a man makes for much in his daily conduct. I say that it makes for everything. If I've in the Wash ington' don't you perceive I am going to be a higher, decenter, cleaner. more devoted citizen than would be if I lived in the Aaron Burr?' There is a standard set for me; if am half hon. est to my environment I must try to attain it. Don't you suppose that a resident of the John B. Cough flats will pay more taxes in the end than the dWeller in .Baeehante' apartments? :? Wouldn't your chest expansion be greater on the twelfth floor of the lMastodon. than in the parlor suite of the Little Jennie?' Some names. of course, are i'll chosen and comparative ly meaningless. I do not myself like to see tWenty-foot front, story=and- a-half bit of brick and mortar called the Pantheon nor a nest amid world of downtown stories called the Plaza del Mesa del Virginia, but gen. orally speaking. there is good deal in a name, in fat name, Shakes. peare notwithstanding.
 Now would you prefer to live in the Otis or the 'Aguinaldo? asked one of the carpers. Lest I ineriminate myself said the original speaker, T decline to answer. Come up with me to the House of David and I will see what can be done to remove this dust. :" Chicago Chronicle.

ENGLISH ExIL Es.
Trnnseressors of the Law Who Are Liv-

aFhnsgresSors or the Eaw Who Are LfY-
 ing in Paris.
 Letter in Washington Post: Eng lands colony of exiles on the banks of the Seine is likewise a very large one, and comprises Lord Arthur Somerset, brother of the present duke of Beau fort, and former equerry to the prince of Wales, who fled England some ten years ago to escape arrest in connec- ton with the Cleveland street scandal. Lady Mordaunt, the respondent in the divorce case in which the Prince of Wales was cited as correspondent, os- eupied handsome residence in the neighborhood of the Champs Elysee until placed under restraint as nor phomaniae. George Russell, once pri. Fate secretary of the prince of Wales and son-in-law of the duke of Rox burghe and Lord SufTield's brother, Walter Harboard, formerly of the Sev- enth Hussars and son-in-law of the Duke of Grafton, are habitues of the boulevards, which they find more con genial than Pail Mall owing to the fact that they were expelled from all the English clubs in consequence of their being caught in the very act of cheating at cards. Lord Alfred Doug las, his associate; the unmentionable Oscar Wilde, the equally unsayory Broadley, who was turned out of the Indian civil service in disgrace. and many more, go to swell the numbers of the Partisan colony of English ex- lies, which comprises nearly every woman of title who has either =gradu= ated from the divorce court or perpc- trated the now so common crime Of forgery at the expense of infatuated admirers. and every Englishman who has cheated at cards or defaulted pay ment of his debts of honor-in one word, every Briton. male or female, who has made his native land either socially or legally too hot Q hold him ar her.

GETTING ABOUT PARIS.

Ahe Street Cars and omnibuses Of the
 City and the Rates of Fares.
 he means of passenger transit in Parls IS something that will interest great many people the coming year, in VieW or the throngs that will visit the exposition. It is effected by electri- clty, steam, compressed air and horse power, There are three tramway lines serving Paris and the suburbs, and om- nipuses are generally used throughout tne cltya One of the e-mentioned tram lines belongs to the Compagnie ueherale des Omnibus, and the other TWO are practically controlled by the same company; so that it can be said 10 nave a monopoly of the entire pas senger transit, exclusive of cabs and carriages. It is d stock company. or ganized in 1855, having obtained from the city the exclusive right to transport passengers from one point to another an the city of Paris. The concession expires on the S1st of May, 1910. The omnibuses are of two sizes, and drawn py two or three horses, respectively. The smaller model is arranged for 28 to 30 places GA outside, 14 insile and two on the platform1. The larger model affords accommodations for 20 on top and 20 inside, including four on platform. The fare on the top is 15 .centfmes (near eents1; inside and on platform. 30 eentimes fnearly ( cents). The payment of the aforementioned fare entities the passenger to a "eor- respondence9 or transfer ticket to an- other connecting or Interesting line. No passengers are taken on when the places are filled, either at station or F en route. At the starting points num- bered tickets are handed to the pas 2 sengers. and when there are more than enough to fill one conveyance the pre- eedence is given to those holding the first numbers. The next omnibus or car starting begins with the number last uncalled on tie previous vehicle The same system prevails at the fixed stations en route for vacant places. No standing in the aisle is allowed. The statistics for 1896 show the number of passengers carried as follows: B lines of omnibuses (26 to 90 plaees). 5O,080.- o34; IA lines of omnibuses GAO nlaees), 79,3i9,6 ,631; lines of steam tramways, I2,862, ,e90; g lines of horse tramways, S7,o92.926; lines of compressed air and electricity, 10,705, $40; total, 240,- 040,291. The distances traversed by the divers lines vary from about two miles to a little over four miles
