RAILWAYS PROVE
 BEEF COMBINE.
Special Concessions Granted to the Concerns.

Chicago Tribune.
 By laying bare the secret agreements between the packers and various rallroaus
 the Department of Justice expects to produce some of its strongest evidence against the members of the alleged peer trust Extreme care was taken ln draft ing the bill for an injunction to incorpo- rate an allegation along that line broad enough to acmit of the introduction of the important evidence now ill the hands of the Federal officials.
 When United States Attorney Bethea and Special Counsel Day make their ap- pearance in the United States Circuit
 Court they will produce aftidavits and other documentary evidence gong to prove that for wears 'ne delehudh.s, nus
 through an illegal combination, have been enabled to obtain concessions denied to other shippers. They have evidence to prove that by system or route cars the packers have been given rates never granted small shippers. They will pro duce evidence showing the granting or rebates through system of claims Tor losses" claims for errors. claims Tor
 damages" and a score or other suoter- fuges. ,,,,,, ~ has never been investig lted in the courts, but the Federal officials are conhdent It will be shown to be among the most ra- grant of the many di5criminatons com
 slained against.
 Under the system in general practice the packers are given an advantage over the small shipper almost prohipitory to the latter. By agreements between the packers and some of the ralfoaus tne beef men are allowed to load ears in their yards with dressed beef and other pro ducts. The cars are then billed to some large city known as rating or compet- ing point and the freight paid.
 Instead of having the car sent through to the point to which it has been billed if is attached to a local freight. and m stonued a short distance from Chicago. sjde-tracked and opened. Small amounts of goods are unloadcd and delivered to inc customers of the packers. The car IS tbcn sealed and carried on to the next station. There the selling operation or delivery method Is repeated.

QUAY AND ELxrNs.

The alleged war to the knife now on in Pennsylvania between Quay and Eikins may be only bluff to keep others out. The twain can as absolutely con- trol that State as if they had a dee6 of sale to 1t. Between them they can rule in their own way, put into office whomsover they see proper. and dictate the entire policy of the State government. No State In the American. Union today is governed with less regard to honesty and decency, in no State is there more rot tcnness and corruption, and in no State Is their less effort to conceal the villainy of those in control
 If Quay and Elkins work in harmony there is not a shadow of possibility of putting them out of power. If they should enter into a serious contest for supremacy there might be hope for honest men to obtain control That is why we have doubted the sincerity of their opposition to each other, and why we have believed that they would recon. cile their differences and work together on the theory that they would consider il better for enc to retire temporarily than that both should lose out That Is wha: we believe will yet happen. Quay is going to put up man for Governor and Elkins will oppose him in the convention. The candidate of Quay will get the nomi- nation and the Elkins gang will support him.
 That is the way it looks now, and those who are most conversant with Pennsyl- vania politics and conditions assert that nominated. They say that the latter'r record Is so utterly bad that his nomi- nation would cause a revolt which would bury both of them; consequently Quay will select somebody else and Elkins will submit. But whoever is selected by the boss will be man ot his own stripe. As The Pittsburg Post expresses it mo one credits Quay with any motive con- sistent with the honor and good name of Pennsylvania in selecting d man. He will find a candidate thoroughly in ac-. cord with his own policies and methods As The Post elsewhere says
 The candidate Quay may finally hit upon will be weak candidate by the fact The black record of Pennsylvania legislation and adminstration-the whole sale bribery and eorruption-is pre-emi- nently Quay record.
 That seems to cover the ground If those who really want to lift penusyl- vania out of the almost unspeakably foul mire into which it has fallen could get up a genuine and determined conflict be- tween the Quay and Elkins influence there might be some hope. but without that the old State will continue to be an object lesson in corrupt and villainous politics.

A DOWNWARD ROAD,

Some old humorist said when man gets started down hill all the wheels and the track appear to be greased for in it. whether the downward start is caused by adverse circumstances or by his own bad management We have been forcibly reminded of this by the a poorhouse and was buried in the pot ters field. This man was Adrian Britt. of whose history a contemporary gives this epitome:
 Britt was the son of Louisiaaa mer- chant. who died leaving him 1000, 900 when he was an infant. He received a college education in New Orelans and fin 1874 went to Florida and gained control of The Jacksonville Union a Democratic paper, which was considered the State organ of the Party. When the result of the Presidential election hung in doubt Britt was persuaded to concede the vic- tory to the Republicans and this created an influence which led to the delivery of the electoral vote to Hayes.
 That was the beginning. Although nearly twenty-six years have passed since the time and incidents mentioned in this paragra ph it is still vividly remembered. The infamous means used to deprive Til den of the electoral votes of Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina were suc- cessful and the people of the United States were robbed of the President they had elected. Just how Britt was per suaded' to concede the vote of Florida to Hayes is not difficult to see. There was great deal of persuasion going on just about that time. and it paid some of those engaged in it. beyond a dout.
 However that may be, we are informed that the career of Britt took down. ward course soon after this incident" and We can well believe it. He sold his paper and got a position in the Federal secret service. Then he was connected with newspaper ventures in New York Chicago, Milwaukee and other places. and finally served two years in prison for robbing mail boxes. His course was downward till he died In the poorhouse Such is the brief history of millionaire child who might have been a good, use ful and influential citizen, but who wen, the downward road to ruin instead. His career and it's ending is d lesson.

Doubt Dispelled,

She is a most dignifed and staid ma tron, and her husband is deacon in q Maiden Congregational Church. says The Boston Record. She was passing along the street in the Bacy Bay when a well dressed man suddenly stopped and addressing her:
 Madam. do I look tight?''
 "What?"
 Do 1 look tight?"
 No No
 You're sure I don'tTve been drinking, and | don't feel sure
 Yes. "I want to make a call. but I was afraid that I looked off. I'll do?'
 Yes"
 You're quite sure can make the call and not look wrong?"
 Yes"
 Madam, I am very greatly indebted to you"
 And he went on his way, evidently re- ioicing while she pondered on the strange ways of men.

Branch Banks.

New York Journal of Commerce.
 If Congress would authorize branch banking it Is nearly certain that many banks would enlarge their capitals and establish branches widely. But if Con gross does not authorize that. some of these banks are likely to buy existing banks and so provide their own agencies for the use Of their funds at a distance from home. A few cases of this sort have occurred. The reasons for this ac- ton are growing stronger all the time, but there is still some hope that Con gress will have enough regard for the prosperity of the West and South where capital is scarce and interest rates high. to agree to the branch banking proposi- tiont If the country bankers have power to defeat that they may yet find the com petition of the great city banks approach ing them.

A few days ago The Montgomery Advertiser said that only the newspapers that opposed the adoption of the con- etitution are supporting The Register in fits request for primary.-M Register.
 The Advertiser must really insist that The Register correctly state our position or not state 1t at all. On April 2Oth, referring to the position of The Geneva Reaper, We said: As a general thing, those who were most violently op- posed to the new Constitution are just as bitter against strictly Democratic primary. and it is natural that they should be" The Register must see that this is entirely different from its charge quoted above. If the above Was not the paragraph to which it referred perhaps it was this one, which appeared in these columns April 30th:
 The Mobile Register has to depend largely for endorsement of it's position for general white primary instead of a straight Democratic primary, upon papers that have consistently opposed the movement fer new constitution and which opposed it's ratification by tho people.
 The Register will find that it will re- uuire but little of it's time or space tc name the Democratic paperA which favored the convention and advocated adoption of the Constitution, and whci are now favor.na white primary instead of a Democratic primary.

Santa Maria. the little eoo-ton tub which bore the flag of Columbus, as does the finest ocean steamship to the creeping and wheezing boat of Fulton There is now being constructed at Quincy. Mass. a seven-masted steel schooner of n,oo' tons displacement, which will be ths largest sailing vessel in the world, but vessels of from 5000 to 1000 tons ar. becoming common. A sailing vessel with fifty times the capacity of the largest ship of Columbus in his memorable first voyage shows not only the advance in vesse.s of this class, but the confidence of the builders.
 The reason for building these large shops is easily seen when 1t Is known. as The Springfield (MassD Republican states. that some of these large vessels on the New England coast have been earning from 25 to 70 per cent. year. The enormous motive power required by large steamships. and the equally enormous cost of fuel and attendance unite to make the sailing boats preferable where unusual speed Is not required. and they are long way from oblivion.
