PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF RAIL

Massachusetts is much agitated by a
proposition for the state to go into the
business of owning and operating a
railroad. The Boston Traveller presents
the situation to the people as follows:

through their representatives in the
general court, to make themselves felt
In relation to this most important ques-
ton Many business interests that
formerly were almost exclusively New
England Industries have gradually
withdrawn to other parts of the coun-
try. Various reasons have been as
signed for this condition of things, but
the most prominent has been the tariff
upon imported raw materials. This has
had something to do with the changed
CONDITIONS, but by no means all. nor
indeed very considerable part.
The fiuctuating, and, as a rule. the
exorbitantly high cost of laying down
at the doors of our manufactures the

the bottom of the difficulty.

Italy Wants Lynchers of Her
Subjects Punished.

Washington. Jan. 1s-The Italian
government has signifed to the gov
eminent of the United States in the
polite and courteous method known to
modern diplomacy, a wish that the per-
sons guilty of lynching the five Italians
at Talulah,, La, last spring should be
punished. Heretofore in cases of the
lynching Of Italians the matter has been
compromised by the payment of an in
demnity but this does not meet the
present demand of the Italian govern
ment. AS under the existing law the
trial and punishment of such cases as
this is left entirely to the state author
tiles, the national government is well
nigh helpless to meet the request of the
Italian government. The Investigation
made by the state of Louisiana was so
unsatisfactory that the national gov
eminent undertook the investigation
through its own agents to learn the
facts attending the lynching. The re-
suit of this inquiry is now on file. But
the United States government can not
make the report the base OF any legal
proceedings against the lynchers.

sauntering carelessly along one would
never suspect his infirmity.

the street are all mixed up, but when
he's blind he learns to separate them.

plain to me now as the signs used to be
over the doors. Some of them you
would hardly suppose to exist. Take
dry goods store, for instance, 1t smells
of cloth, and has a very peculiar odor.
Iron and tin have smells of their own,
and can tell hardware store immed
lately. I pass two book stalls nearly
every day, and I scent them yards off
by the old books. Then there are
great many indescribable odors by
which I know this place and that. OF
course, my feet are my principal guide,
and I've been over the same ground SO

that the people have had a lien all these
years upon this property, and no one
can plead ignorance of the fact. If
the people once get this property into
their control through the state enforce
ing its right to take it, a uniform
rate of fare can be established for the
entire distance traversed by it, based
upon the average distance Travelled by
it's patrons, that will probably not ex-
coed ten cents, and a freight tariff
equally low in proportion, and this at a
profit to the state after covering all
expenses. The low uniform fare always

years the milk trade of New York has

that 1t could be extended over any dis
tance over which milk could be brought

Leavenworth, Jan. 1S.-Topeka won
the big cooking main which was pulled
off at the south side pit last night be-
tween game lighters of the capital and
Missouri chickens from springfield.
There were seven battles in all and To-
peka won four out of the whole number
Topeka won the first three fights and
Springfield won the second three. Ex-
c1tement rose to a high pitch when the
seventh contest came on, for the winner
or 1t would be declared the winner of
the main and the $500 in cash which had
been staked on the result. The seventh
light was a long one and the Springfield
bird, beautiful, bright-colored Duck
wing, which weighed in at pounds II
ounces, was worn out and finally gaffed
through the head. The Topeka bird
was fighter, having a record of five
battles to his credit, and Weighing ex-
actly the same as the Missouri fowl
The Topeka bird was a black breasted
red and came out of the fight with hard
ly scratch, but well worn out
The big main was delayed in begin
ming. 1t was chronicled to start at s
o'clock, but it was after 10 before the
first feather fiuttered in the pit
The leaders of the Springfield contin-
gent were two well known fancierS, who
own large number of chickens, and a
number of friends. From Topeka came
several sportsmen who breed fighting
chickens. The stakes put up by the
result of the main and $50 a side for
every battle. This did not include the
betting on the side, which on every fight
ran far into the hundreds. Fifty dollar
bets were common and from that figure
the ranged on down to 81.

BEAT THE WORLD.
Kansas Taking the Lead In Swine
Raising.

The Kansas hog has invaded the
sacred precincts of Ohio and Indiana
and returned home, bearing the highest
prizes to be obtained on such a tour Of
exhibition.
This raid was made by the Kansas
Poland China raised in Sedgwick
county, and into a territory where the
breeders of fine hogs laughed and jeer-
ed at the mere suggestion of Kansas
hogs entering competition with them
Ohio and Indiana, the original home
of the Poland China, thought the rec
ords would all be kept there A Sedg-
wick county swine raiser has disabused
the hog growers of this idea, and car
ried off first prizes in the very home
of the Poland China
He won the sweepstakes at the Ohio
fair, a, few months ago.
These prizes were won, by Kansas
bred and fed hogs, raised in Sedgwick
county The prize winners are all the
descendants of the family of hogs, in
the exhibition of which the Sedgwick
county man won seven prizes at the
Worlds Fair. He won the first World s
prize on a SOW at the exposition.
Such stock as this win be seen in the
Kansas exposition next fall.
