RECENT COMMENT.
Waterway. Develop Railway Tramc.

Engineering Magazine.
The best thing that could happen TO every railway In
the United States-Or elsewhere, for that matter-would be
TO have a waterway paralleling every mile OF its track, and
the deeper the waterway. within reasonable limits. the
greater would be the benefit derived by the railway. II the
managers OF the transcontinental American railways were
really awake 10 their own interests. instead OF opposing an
isthmian canal they would use all Of their influence in Its
favor. Nay, more II Congress should fail to act. the cap
itahstS who control the transcontinental railway lines
ought TO underwrte - sufficient amount OF bonds to Sc
cure the construction Of an isthmian canal. and to get II
built at the earliest possible date. and this not as a matter
OF sentiment or patriotism. but as n cold-blooded business
proposition. This opinion IS based upon the fact that many
Instances can be shown in which the construction or i'm
provement OF a waterway has resulted in great benefit to
competing railways, while not a single instance has come
TO my knowledge. in the course Of a study OF the subject
covering many years, IN which the result has been other
wise than beneficial But as the unsupported opinion can
have little or no weight, 1t will be in order TO OFFER the in
credulous reader a few OF the facts upon which it Is based.

Hysterical Woman Said Poor Per
sons Couldn't Get Justice.

Mrs. Kate Moran Of No. S7s1 Wisconsin
avenue created a scene in Judge Ryan's
court yesterday afternoon when Charles J.
Zimmerman was acquitted OF the charge OF
embezzing $3.50 Of her money. II was
charged that he had m-isapproprtsted that
amount. which she had intrusted TO him Tor
Investment. six years ago.
Judge Ryan sustained a motion 10 throw
the case out Of court on the ground tnar
the statute OF limitation was a bar TO tne
prosecution As soOl as Mrs Moran real
lied that Zimmerman was free she tumpe1
up and began TO deuounce courts and court
officials. The Deputy Sherins escorted her
out OF the room. Judge Ryan then ordered
that she be brought back, saying that he
would listen TO her statement II she would
maintain her composure.
Accordingly she was brought back. She
declared that IL was impossible for q poor
person 20 get justice She said she had tried
FOR three years TO get a warrant and Il had
been refused No action. she said, was
taken until II was too late. She became so
hysterical that the deputies were again
Obliged 70 take her out
This is the second prosecution Mrs. Moran
has brought against Zimmerman Two years
ago she prosecuted him. but the case was
dismissed on technical grounds

OF a piquante and dainty little French lady who was more
or less in evidence at such places as were visited by the

THE DECLINE OF THE HOUSE.

Hon Francis W Cushman, a representative from
the State Of Washington in speech delivered in the
house the other day took occasion to attack the
policy OF that body in q very foroble manner He de-
nounced the rules Of the house as "unrepubcan, un-
democratic and un-American" I'VE operate here under
a set OF rules" Mr.. Cushman continued "confessedly
designed bete the hopes and dwarf the ambitions
of the individual members of this body, and at tho
same time to vest power in the hands OF or
two men than was ever enjoyed by Oriental despot
or a ten-button mandarin. . I say to you, my
friends that the system is rotten at both ends" The
calendar he said, should be called the cemetery be,
cause is strown with the whitened bones of legis-
lative hopes. On the calendar the bill remains until
the speaker Is ready to have it considered. "
When try TO secure recognition and an opportunity to
bring up legislation for consideration go up against
the stone wall that surrounds the speaker of the house
and the committee rules" Proceeding Mr.. Cush-
man said he proposed putting some spokes in the
wheel of the machine which it's designers had not
dered,' warned the house that he would be heard
from again and to some purpose
Not long since Representative Bell Of Colorado ad
dressed the house much to the effect in speech
in which he said: LAS deberatiye body. the house
has ceased to exist 1t is absolutely controlled by
few The greatest trust in tho country today is
the legislative trust"
While Mr.. Bell is n democrat, Mr.. Cushman ia n re-
publican. Such arraignment of tho house is signh
cant coming from a member OF the dominant party
The Post has made this charge against the house be
fore 1t has been repeated by number OF republican
newspapers. Popular government not continue to
exist If the house to be representative of the
popular will Such fearless denuncaton of the repub-
lican rule of gag Mr. Cushman delivered will have
this effect II It fall short Of inducing the present house
to reform the error of its way it not fail arouse
the people to the necessity of eleeting democratic
house that may have a house of representatives
that will not belle it's title.

Advertising and Business.

Louisville Post.
The Chicago real market is constantly active be-
cause Chicago real estate dealers advertise.
In the East in Chicago and in St Louis banks and trust
companies advertise regularly and they their business
They business they deposits and they
borrowers, and they say so.
Book publishers last realize the value of advertising
newspapers that reach the homes Of book readers and adj
verng has changed wonderfully the character of the pub
fishing business
To make advertising pay the advertiser must have
thing worth buying something he believes in service
he render satisfactorily than the public realizes
For instance this community just beginning under
stand the value company is a community the
services rendered by well conducted company
Railroads the poorest and the anquated of all
business in their advertising methods They spend
thousands in RECONSTRUCTED dodgers folders impossible maps
OF this stuff if prepared carefully inellgenty would
supplemented by newspaper Advertising be OF value
Perhaps the offender in this respect in this city
the Louisville and Nashville railroad 1t puts threcine
reading notice the daily papers announcing arrange
ments for the reunion Dallas then placrs its walls
Fourth aud Main with red lettercd sign that

That the way it advertises Florida service or its
trains eastward or any other feature.
Careful advertising times, illustrated at times simple
display at times would less than all job printing
stuff and would pay better
Street would find advertising pay If carefully done
Their schedules for certain points should be occasionally
published and the ATTRACTIONS of various points along their
lines should be forth
These suggestions of wasted business opportni
ties With the improvements in business there is growing
appreciation OF the value OF newspaper Advertising
