sacred. When q government deliberate
ly disregards the inherent and inalien-
able rights of its subjects, among winch
is the right of possession of property,
that government violates the very prl-
mary and fundamental principles of that
equity Which it is its rightful province
to insist upon the maintenance of, and
serious consequences necessarily eusue.
If government ownership of railways
was not for other reasons lnadNlSable the
interminabe difficulties involved in
change of systems and the consequent ne
ceSSary REIMBURSEMENT, with its injurious
concomitantS, are in themselves amply
sufficient reasons. So hazardous an UNI
dertaking as this would likely be to our
business and commercial interests could
only be justified by 50 dire an emergency
or remote contingency as in this direction
we cannot conceive to exist.
CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP.
Some one has said, either the govern
ment must own the railroads or the rail-
roads will own the government" Such
utterances are neither brilliant nor forci-
bic. Does the government OVID all of
those things that it controls? It controls
individuals in a degree, Yet it does not
own them 1t regulates or controls the
operation of industries still it does own
them. In the same way. logically, the
government should regulate and control
railroads. which under the powers grant
ed it by the Constitution it has ample right
to do but it should not own them. All
public utilities hold franchises of some
kind from the government. 1t follows,
then. that undeniably the government has
distinct right to reguIate those things
which owe their existence to it. as we'll
as those things which ere intimately CON
nected with the public welTare.
Government ownership of railways can
not be defended on any common-sense or
legal grounds. Such a procedure as IS
contemplated in any measure of this
kind is both unconstitutional and revolu-
tionary: it could not in any possible way
be productive of benefit to the people;
on the contrary. it would seriously weak
en- the stability of our institutions and
would be harmful to the best interests of
our people. 1t is a scheme of the va
riety that cannot be successfully put into
operation until that time,
When the war drum throbs no longer, and
the battle flags are fured,
In the Parliament of man, the Federation

Therefore all government ownership of
railways propositions cannot otherwise be
fifty characterized than as Utopian dreams
having their origins in the disordered
brains and perverted imaginations OF So
cialist fanatics and dissatisfied populists.

MANY SHOOTERS AT HANDICAP.
Thirty-six Tied ON Twelve Birds

Kansas City, Mo-, March 31.-Thirty-
six men tied on a straight score of
twelve birds in the Kansas City sweep

American handicap live bird tourna-
n1ent, which opened at Blue River
Park here to-day.
Three hundred and sixty-nine candi-
dates for the Grand American handi-
cap honors entered-for this preliminary
shoot. After all had shot at eight birds
the management decided to continue
the match to twelve birds, dropping
from the list all who had missed more
than one bird. This left 1874 men, CT
half OF the entire entry list, to shoot
the remaining four rounds. The purse
amounted to $2,5S3, which was decided
equally among the thirty-six winners.
The weather was ideal for the sport
a bracing north wind making the birds
active.
Those who made straight score of
twelve birds included John E. Avery,

delicately and accurately, would make
possible the representation of every
highway bridge, building, and railroad
track in the United States, as we'll as
showing forested areas, water courses,
swamps and mountains. Such a
model could be placed in low but
well-lighted building about 800 feet
long and half as wide.
Visitors would see II by walking over

paths would be made on sliding sup
ports, so that the visitor could be
pushed along to the point which he
particularly desired to examine. Much
ingenuity would doubtless have to be
displayed in working out these de-
tails. The model would be made so
that at all times pieces of a standard
size could be taken out and changed
to conform to new conditions, chiefly
brought about by the artifce of man.
1t would be the intention of it's pro-
jectors to keep ii up to date all the

FOOD AND NEURALGIA.
The Right F,ood Will Drive I'd A,ray.

Good food cures neuralgia and many
other diseases If it is the right kind of
food and taken regularly, Tor the prop
er food will surely rebuild the cellular
tissues and build the right kind of cells
instead of diseased cells. When the
rebuilding is under way the disease
leaves.
That is the fact and the base of the
food cure. There are hundreds of
thousands of cases to prove the truth
of this assertion
A man in Delaware, Ia, Mr.. Thomas
Craven, says: My wife has been great
ly afflicted with neuralgia, and has
never found any medicine that would
cure her.
II was told that If she would be fed
on Grape Nuts Breakfast Food for a
time she would probably get well. so
we started on Grape Nuts. Within a
very short time wife became entirely
free from pain and is now. to all ap-
pearances, entirely cured of her trou-

suits from this greatest food in exist

MODEL OF THE COUNTRY.

How the United States Would APP
pear on "a Scale of Two and Halt
Inches to the Mile.
From the New York Evening Post.
Washington, March 1O.--A standard
model of the United States is one of
the projects which is now attracting
some attention here. Several years
ago, it will be recalled, a project was
on foot for an out of-door map of the
United States, on the Potomac flats,
which visitors could walk around and
through, much as they would through
a park. Gardiner Hubbard, president
of the National Geographic Society,
was greatly interested in working out
something OF this kind, and Senator
Cannon of Utah introduced bills in the
same interest, which he vigorously
urged.
To-day the out-of-door plan is re-
garded as impracticable. In order to
withstand the SHOWS and the frosts
and the heavy rains, everything would
have to be very coarse, both in ma
terial and in workmanship. whereas
the excellence of a model lies in its
extreme delicacy. There has of late
been a notable development in model
making, and a. school established
abroad for teaching the art. The old
idea of a model was a representation
which exaggerated certain lines, in or
der to convey to the eye such an i'm
preston as person supposedly gets
in visiting the place itself. To accom-
plish this, the scale in elevations has
been far different from that on the
surface. This characteristic of models
destroyed popular confidence in their
value, so that the word came to signify
approximations, more or less carelessly
made, like the clay modelling of the
kindergartens.
The new modelling is done with
sharp knife, and is really sculpture.
Geographic sculpture" is what some
of it's devotees call it, and they be-
lieve that nearly as much genius may
be displayed in putting meaning into
such representation of natural seem
cry as in carving out of stone rep
resentation of the human face. The
new models aim at absolute accuracy,
they have no exaggerations of eleva-
walton, which obviously render mac
curate the slopes; nor do they attempt
any other illusions. They are made
possible by the perfection of the map
making of the present day, and by the
development of the dry-plate photo
graphy.
The Burnham Commission models,
showing Washington as 1t is to-day
and as it will be when the plans are
carried out, are an example of the new
school of modelling. These were exc
cuted by George Carroll Curtis of
Boston, who formerly worked with
Prof. Davis, the geologist of Harvard.
in this same line. In fact, Prof. Davis
is a pioneer in geographic models in
this country. The Washington models
are on the scale of 1000; if a model
were made of the United States 1t
would be put on scale of $4,000. which
would correspond with the model of
Switzerland which is now making. and
would doubtless become standard
scale for great models. Each linear

MANY MILLS MADE ADVANCES.
THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES TO GET
INCREASED WAGES.

This Made Easter Monday a Very
Pleasant Day to Most of New Eng
land Mill Operatives-some Mills
Have Made No Advances and in
Some Departments of Mills which
Have the Increase Is Not What Was
Expected, So There Is still some
Discrimination.
Boston, March 81 The posting of
notices of advances in wages made
Easter Monday particularly pleas
ant day to tens of thousands of cotton
mill operatives in Southern New Eng
land. Some disagreements over the
amount of the raise have arisen and
the yarn mills operatives, who have
not been included in the increase. are,
disposed to be FESTIVE, but on the
whole the mill situation is much better
than week ago.
The chief incident to-day was the
continuance at work of most of the
10000 operatives in the seven corpora
tons at Lowell, who on Friday last
expected to be idle through the order
of the organized crafts to strike. Work
was resumed as usual. except in those
departments in which orders had been
closed out in anticipation of a shut
down.
In few days every available mill
hand will be at work and probably the
night shifts OF spinners and carders in
some mills, as during the entire winter
months. 1t was evident to-day that
the textile council declared the strike
off under the impression that a strike
actually would have been turned into a.
lockout, so determined were the mill
agents to resist an increase in wages
There is a general impression that
little later, if market conditions con-
tinue strong and the increase in wages
in print cloth centers tends to firm
prices in other cotton goods, an ad-
vance of perhaps 5 per cent. will be
granted or even something better. At
present there is no promise or hope of
an advance.
At the Atlantic mills, Olneyville, r.
l., the weavers who went on strike Sat
urday because of an alleged 81 per cent.
cut down, returned to work to-day, a
restoration of the old scale being made.
At Fall River, the carders of the
Hargraves No. 2 mill left at noon,
claiming that their advance made only
2 per cent, in stead of 10. This mat
ter will be quickly adjusted, apparently.
Every cotton mill in the Blackstone
Valley, in Rhode Island. with the ex-
ception of the Lorraine Manufacturing
Company. has now given notice of the
advance.
Cotton mill employees in Western
Massachusetts are also benefitting by
an advance, notices to that effect being
posted to-day at the Eclipse and Beav-
or. Of he int
at North Adams; at the Berkshire
Company's mills, at Adams, and the
Greylock mills, at Greylock. A similar
advance had previously been made at
the mills in Williamstown, Mass, and
South Pownal, VT.

Flood Situation Again Serious Mt
Jackson. Miss.
Jackson, Miss. March S1.-The flood
situation has again become serious on
account of the continued rising of
Pearl river, which is now out of its
banks from mouth to source ana is
flooding all the low country. At this
place the river is from seven to nine
miles wide and has washed away sew
eral miles of the track of the Alabama
and Vicksburg Railway, and has tied
up the Gulf and Ship Island
road. The plant of the water
works company is under water
and the pumps have been stopped,
causing a water famine all over the
city and the oil mills and other factor
les and steam power concerns have
been compelled to shut down. Another
pump is being put up and water is
promised tomorrow in sufficient guam
tity to relieve distress. Traffic is en-
tirely cut off between this city and
Meridian, and will be for several
weeks.
