SOME RAILWAY FACTS.

Senator Depew made some interesting
statements respecting railways 20 the
Senate on Wednesday. He ought to be
to railway matters in the country. He
was president of the New York Central
for long time and is a director In a
number of the principal railways.
An effort was being made to cut down
the appropriation for railway mail SER
vice. Senator Butler of North Carolina,
said that a great deal more was paid in
this country for carrying the mails tnan
in any country in Europe. Senator De-
pew did not question that statement, but
he said that railway employees in CONT
mental Europe were paid only about one
fourth as much as railway employees IA
this country, and that the rates for
carrying freights here were only about
one-fourth what they were there.
Assuming that these statements are cor,
rect-and there is no reason to doubt
them-the people OF the United States
have no reason to complain of the rail-
ways. 1t is certain that American rail-
to those of any other country.
Stin, there is great dissatisfaction with
the railways. There is complaint that
the rates for freight are too high and that
passenger rates are unreasonable. Would
not these complaints be made IL the rates
were only half what they are? Would
there be satisfaction if freight and pas
sengers were carried free? The answers
to these questions are evident
Some of the railways in Continental
Europe are managed by the government
The service on them does not compare
with the service rendered by American
railways. And If in this country the gov
eminent owned the railroads the service
Still, there is q pretty big section of the
people who insist that the government
shah own and run the railways They
don't know when they are we'll off. A
big percentage of those who are now In
the service OF the government couldn't
sources. If the same sort of people op-
Grated the railways there would be a
hundred complaints where there is one
now.
The country is better off with the rail
ways in private hands. The people get
cheaper and better service and railway
employees get better wages than if the
railways were in possession of the gov
eminent.

BY THE BABCoCK BILL

There is no question but that the Re-
publican leaders are alarmed by the Bah
cock bilI--the bill to repeal the duty on
steel products. They are afraid if that
bill should become law the whole pro-
tective system would go to smash. Rep
resentative Payne, Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, is quoted as say
ing that it would never do to remove all
duty on steel products, because the small
steel manufacturers would be wiped out,
and that these small concerns are needed
to fight the big steel combinations Mr..
Payne must think he is the only man in
the country that is capable of thinking.
The protective tariff could not help the
little concerns without helping the big
ones, and it could not prevent the big
ones from running the little ones if they
We're so disposed. Mr. Payne will have
to think of some other argument for re-
tanning the protective tariff on steel
products.
But will not the Republicans, have to
consent to the repeal of the protective
duties on steel products? 1t is a safe as
sertion that they will. Mr.. Babcock, the
author of the bill, is a Republican, and
in carefully prepared interview he ad-
mits that tariff protection for our steel
products is no longer necessary. The
people can see that as plainly as Mr..
Babcock can, and they will drive any Iar-
ty from power that insists upon protec-
ton for these products. That the protec-
tive tariff is in the interest of trusts there
is no doubt.
1t is probable that the Babcock bill will
not come up for consideration in this
Congress. but one of the first things that
the next Congress will do is to pass that
bill. In fact, the time is close at hand
when the whole protective system will
have to so, When the Republican party
sees that it will have to give up its doc
trine of protection or yield the control of
it win not hesitate a great while as to
the course TO pursue.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. Babcock consulted
his associates in Congress before intro
ducing his bill. He was too wise to do
that They would have undertaken to
disuade him. They would have begged
him to wait awhile. He saw the hand
writing on the wall, however. and decld-
ed to have whatever credit there was in
being the first man of his party to strike
a blow at the protective system; and con-
sequently at trusts.

Judge F'ursman, Of a New York court,
declined the other day TO hear the testi-
mony of handwriting experts in a murder
trial pending before him. 1t is practically
certain that the experts put up by the
prosecution would have reached the con-
clusion that the handwriting in question
WAS that of the defendant, and then the
defense would have put up other experts
who would have held that the handwrit-
ing was not and could not have been that
of the accused. And each set would
have submitted long arguments charts
and diagrams to support its contentious
and TO prove that those Of the other set
were entirely erroneous. At the conclu-
sion OF the expert testimony the jury
would have been in state of mind
worse befudded than before.
That has been the experience heretofore,
in several notable murder trials in New
York, not only with handwriting experts,
but with experts in chemistry and other
specia,ties. There are cases. TO be sure,
where the crime cannot be traced clearly
and conelusively without the employment
of expert evidence; cases where clever
men have administered poison, or have
contaminated their crimes in so skllful
and secret u manner as to leave no direct
evidence. If expert evidence were barred
from the courts such crimes would prob
ably go unpublished. 1t still remains a
fact, however that experts can be had to
prove or disprove about anything, if the
parties interested have the money TO pay
them. Any detective theory, any yellow
journal theory, that has the least proba-
biuty behind it, can be worked up and
made p,ausible.-often so plausible as to
convince a jury-wth expert testimony.
1t has frequently been charged, and no
doubt with "a good deal of reason, that
innocent men have been sent to the peni-
Tertiary or to the gallows as a vindica-
ton of some detectives or some newspa-
pers theory.
The experts come high in cost, too. Not
long ago one of them charged the county
of New York several thousand dollars for
making an analysis and testifying in
court during parts of four or five days.
In this case there followed the conviction
of the accused; nevertheless there still
remains a considerable doubt in the pub
lie mind as to his guilt, and he will prob
ably secure a new trial.
The Savannah morning news., 1901-02-22

According To the dispatches from Pekin
the government and the foreign ministers
have reached an understa nding respecting
the punishment TO be inflicted upon the
leaders in the Boxer movement, and it is
stated that there is not now any reason
for the Tai Yuen Flu expedition proposed
by Count Won Waldersee, 1t seems that
the ministers made concessions. In other
words, compromise was effected 1t
would be interesting TO know whether the
refusal of the United States 40 participate
in the expedition had anything to do with
bringing about the agreement that was
finally reached. But whether it did or
noe, IL is certain that it is better that
settlement was made without having to
resort to such means TO effect ii as was
proposed by the Germans. Judging from
what occurred on the march of the allied
forces from Taku to Pekin the expedition
would have been signaHzed by the burn
ing OF villages and the slaughter of peo-
pie. An immense section of country would
have been devastated and the enmity OF
the natives would have been made so Bit
safe among them for the next half CEN
fury.
Ever since the landing of the armies
of the allies on Chinese soil the Germans
have insisted in dealing with the people
harshly. 1t was the scheme of Count Won
Waldersee to pursue the Chinese court
and bring the Emperor back 90 Pekin by
force. If the Emperor had been brought
back in that fashion he would have not
been able to improve the situation in the
least. He would have been degraded in
the eyes of his people. and they would
not have obeyed him. The wiser plan was
the one proposed by the United States,
namely, 10 evacuate Pekin and let the
government return of its own accord. The
Emperor aud his ministers would have
returned just as soon as the foreign troops
left his capital and he would then have
been in a position to make terms.
1t is claimed, however, that If the allies
had left Pekin the Chinese would have
considered that they had gained a victory,
and that it would have been impossible
to get any settlement of the troubles
that is, any settlement except one pro-
posed by China. That is an assumption
for which there is no very good reason.
The Chinese ministerial least Ii Hung
Chang and some of the others-understand
the ability of the Powers to carry out any
programme upon which they decide, and
it is not likely that with such advisers
the Chinese government would risk hav-
ing the country oyerrun and devastated
rather than comply with all reasonable
demands of the Powers.
1t is impossible, of course, to form
correct opinion as to whether the foreign
ministers are managing the matters in
trusted to them with wisdom or not, be-
cause of the lack of information as to
what they are doing and the difficulties
with which they have to contend, but IL
does seem as If they are moving very
slowly, so slowly. in fact, that the peo-
pie of this country and also of Germany
and others European nations are becom-
ing tired of the whole Chinese business.

The case OF the De Wet brothers of
South Africa, one advocating peace with
the British and the other declaring for
war to the death, is an instance Of fra
ternal discord growing out of love Of
country, such as was illustrated often
during our War between the States.
Though not parallel, the case of the
De Vets recalls that of the famous
Breckenridge family of Kentucky, one
member of which was at the head of the
secession element of the Democracy and
a major general of the Confederacy,
while another member was one of che
central figures of the Republican national
convention that declared the war must
