Throws Down The Bars.

That veteran autocrat of Colorado
eastbound tourist rates who last year
put the rates in effect on his road over
the veto of other lines, John Sebastian,
general passenger agent of the Rock
Island. has again taken the initiative.
The introduction of eastbound excur-
sion rates last year in connection with
the westbound summer rates which
have been in effect for years, proved
profitable to the roads and was very
gratifying to the people of Colorado,
thousands of whom took advantage of
the opportunity to visit their old homes
or friends at the east.
Mr.. Sebastian has given notice of the
intention of the Rock Island to make
the rates, Independently, if necessary,
but announcing the rates aud dates on
which the excursions will be run. The
aggressiveness of the Rock Island last
year was appreciated by the Colorado
public and at the close of the season
had the hearty support of lines which
had accepted The inevitable under pro-
test. The notice out yesterday follows:
This company has submitted a
proposition to the Western Passenger
Association and Southwestern Passen-
ger Association for excursions to and
from Colorado points as follows: West
bound every Tuesday, June 10 to Sept.
10 inclusive, rate of one fare plus 81 for
the round trip, excepting that on July
2 and 9, September and 10, rate from
Chicago will be S25 and from Missouri
River SIS for round trip. Intermedi-
ate territory to carry proportionate
rates. Tickets to be sold from Missouri
River one day later than above. Pro-
portionate to and from Glenwood
Springs, Salt Lake and Ogden East
bound rate, one fare plus 81 to all points
minimum Sc, every Thursday, June 20
to Septem Der II, inclusive, limit of al |
tickets, October 81. These rates will
be rendered connection lines for basing
purposes and will be made effective by
this company if negative votes are cast
Special trains will be run on schedule
of one night to and from Colorado on
these dates by our line, carrying dining
cars and fi.'st-class equipment. Dem

CUBA'S decision to send a Commits
sion to Washington is perhaps all right
in a way, but the journey must neces-
sarily be an unsatisfactory and fruitless
one to the Commission, so far as a
modification of the Platt amendment is
concerned, for the President has no
powersto repeal or modify an Act of
Congress. The Cubans are standing in
their own light by not accepting the
terms of the Platt amendment. This
amendment was necessary just and ulti-
mate. Not one of the provisions of the
amendment can be changed in justice
to the Cubans themselves, not taking
into consideration our own interests.
Each provision is a prop to the future
republic.

COLONIES UNITED.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Rich
ard Webb we have been enabled to Pc
ruse highly interesting Souvenir of
the Inauguration of the Australian
Commonwealth, published by The N.
S. w. Bookstall Co. at Sydney, Aus
tralia. AS a work of art this souvenir
has but few equals. Its Illustrations
are from halftone cuts of photographs
of unusual excellence.
Grand as is the souvenir, grander yet
is the accomplishment of that to which
it refers-the Australian union.
Since the beginning of disunion in
1925 the need of federal union has been
agitated by statesmen in Australia
and England. For time series of
Intercolonial Conferences supplied in a
way the place of federation. But as
the colonies came more in touch with
each other, the need of a union became
more evident. 1t was then that Sir
Henry Parkes, "The Father of FEEDER
ation," raised the idea of Federation
above all other questions of politics.
Year after year Sir Henry Parkes la
bored arduously for the cause; time
and again Federation had been de-
clared dead, and not until shown by
the financial panic of 1892 and the re-
sulting stagnatiOn of trade did the peo-
pie fully realize the folly of disunion.
The Constitution Bill was passed by
the Imperial Parliament, and on July
9, 1900, the Royal Assent was given to
the Commonwealth of Australia Con-
stitution. On September II, 1900, the
Queen issued proclamation, declaring
that on and after January l, 1901, the
colonies of New South Wales, Victoria,
Queensland, South Australia, Western
Australia, and Tasmania, should be
united in Federal Commonwealth,
under the name of "The Common
wealth of Australia. -
The grand dream of Sir Henry
Parkes is at last realized, for upon the
Federal badge are these words: Zone
people; one destiny; one flag"
