THE ROCHESTER RAILROAD.

RECEIVERS ORDER All. TRAFFIC
STOPPED.
This town. which has been enjoy
ing a limited railroad service during
the winter. is again having its mail
brought 10y stage coach and no one
here is able to say when the railroad
service will be resumed, says the
Rochester correspondent of the
Barre Telegram,
On Friday last the receivers OF the
White River Valley railroad, Rufus
Sawyer and Frank Page of Maiden,
Mass, issued orders discharging all
the station agents. engineers, con-
ductorA and section men and ordered
all traffic stopped. Since that time
nothing has been done on the road
except some ballasting on this end,
supposedly under the orders of the
receivers.
The cause OF this act on the part
of receivers Is not fully explained
but it is said there is Il quarrel in the
management of the road and the
finances of the road are not in salts
factory condition. No one here is
able to tell when the trouble will be
settled or when the traffic is likely
to be resumed.
TOWNS HAVE NOT PAID BONDS.
\ Free Press special from Ran
dolph says:
Further developments in the White
River Valley railroad case shows
the cause tor suspension of traffic to
be that Mr.. Williams of Boston,
who has been advancing the money
to run the road, has decided not to
put in any more just at present. Re-
ceivcr Sawyer finds that the other
funds of the road seem minus at
present. The amounts to be raised
10y bonding the towns benefited are
not yet in his hands and things are
at n standstill.

BROKEN BRlC-A-B RACS.

| Mr.. Major, the famous cement man. of
New York explains some very interesting
| facts abOnt Majors Cement.
The multitudeS who Use this standard ar
| ticlc know that it is many hundred per
cent. better than other cemcnts for which
do not know why. The simple reason is
that Mr.. Major uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too tX-
pensivc and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Ma or tells us that one of the elements of
his cement costs - Il, a pound. and an
other costs $3.50 4 gallon, while large
share of the so-called dement's and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more
than SiXtecn-ccnt glue, dissolved i'll water
or citric acid. and in some cases, altered
slightly in color and olor by the addition
of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retailS ut fifteen and
twenty-five cents Il bottle. and when II
dealer tries to sell II substitute You can de-
pend upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much
rs any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene-
fit of Mr. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over 5000 a month. throughout
the country. Established in 1876.

A Noteworthy Combination.

The consolidation of The Chicago Rec
cord and The Chicago Times Herald was
one of the most important events in the
history of modern metropolitan journal
ism. People familiar with the newspapers
published in the great capitals of the
world say that the best daily papers are
made in Chicago. and it is well known
that The Chicago Record and The Chi
cago Times Herald ranked at the very
front among Chicago's best dailies. Each
covered the worlds news thoroughly
every day, and each possessed also dis
tinctive special features giving it that in.
dividuality so attractive to its readers.
Now that the two have been combined,
all the resources and world wide facilities
of both papers are united in The Chicago
Rccord-H Herald. 1t is in Truth "a great
combination'-a combination without
parallel in American journalism. The
fortunate readers of The Chicago Record
and The Chicago Times Herald now re-
ceivc every day newspaper whose news
facilities are uncqualed by any other
American newspaper

Deceiving the Cubans.


Bryans Commoner,
When the Cuban commissioners recently Wis
tied Washington, we are told that they were
informed by the President and Secretary Root
that the Plat amendment, which assumed to
lay down rules for the guidance of the Cuban
people, is an established law, and one whose
provisions the administration cannot avoid.
In the Medley case, the United States supreme
court held:
Scuba is foreign territory. 1t cannot be re-
garded in any constitutional, legal or interna-
tional sense part of the territory of the United
States. That island is territory held in trust
for the inhabitants of Cuba to whom it right
fully belongs and to whom exclusive control
will be surrendered"
Now, if Cuba is in fact foreign territory; If
it cannot be regarded in any constitutional,
legal or International sense as part of the ter
ritory of the United States; If that territory
belongs rightfuly to the inhabitants of Cuba;
if those inhabitants are entitled to the exclusive
control of that territory-by what right-con-
stitutional, legal international or mora-do
the United States assume to provide fundame l.
tai laws for the organization of the Cuban gov
eminent, and for the guidance OF that govern
ment after it shall Lave been organized?
The imperiaist claims that the United States
have title to the Philippines, the island of
Guam and the island of Porto Rico because
those islands were coded to us in the treaty
with Spain. But in that same treaty, Spain
merely relinqushed title to uba.
Turning back to our own ante-war declafa-
tons we find that the United States declared
that the people of Cuba are, and of right ought
to be, free and independent; that it was not the
purpose of the United States to exercise sover-
eighty, Jurisdiction control over said island,
except for the paciication thereof, and that
when that was accomplished, it was the nten-
ton to leave the control of that islaud to its
people.
So far as concerns Cuba, do not possess
even what is called "color of title, " and the
highest court in our land has formally declared
that we are without any authority other han
that Of trustee, whose duty it is simply to de-
liver that territory TO the inhabitants OF Cuba,
to whom it ''rightfully belongs" and 10 whom
"excusive control" should be surrendered.
And yet in the face of these facts, the presi-
dent and his secretary of war calmly announce
to the Cuban commissioners that the Platt
amendment is the law of the land, and that the
people of Cuba are bound thereby.
When men seek to do wrong, enter upon
scheme of injustice and assume powers to which
they are not entitled, they are very apt to eX'
pose their own inconsistency-not to call 1t
hypocrisy-and in this instance the inconsist-
ency is visible to the naked eye.
