THE SENATE WILL GO SLOW
In Acting Upon the Cuban ReciprOc
ity Bill.

Washington, April 19.-The senate Is
by no means decided as to what it will
do with the Cuban reciprocity bill. The
measure reached the senate few mill
utes after that body convened today
and was received with exceptional i'll
terest. which was made evident by the
private comments of senators.
The bill goes to the committee on re-
lations with Cuba. which is composed OF
seven republicans and four opposition
senators. Senator Platt, of Connecticut,
being chairman.
When asked today if he felt dispose
to outline his view Of the probable
course of the committee with reference
to the measure Senator Plat declined
to say more than that a meeting wouli
be called at an early date to decide
upon a course of acting, merely adding:
I'VE are not going to lose our 'compos-
ure. but will consider the question care
fully"
The best opinion is that the bill will
remain in committee for some time, and
a republican senator suggested the pos
sibility of. an investigation into the
question of the probable beneficiaries
over the proposed reduction if made.

dict that the bill will be allowed to die

An Enterprisina Editor.

Senator Deboe, of Kentucky. tells
an interesting story concerning an en-
terprising editor who ran a paper down
in Hardin county, of that state.
The State Fair association" said
the senator, Offered a prize of $40
in gold for each of the best samples
of corn, oats, and tobacco. This offer
gave the editor an idea. He advertised
that he would give a years subscrip-
tion-worth $2-for the best samples
OF corn, oats, and tobacco that We're
brought to him within n certain time.
The country people jumped at the OPP
portunity to get years reading mat
ter on such easy terms. Every farmer
in Hardin county brought his contri
button, and when all the samples had
been deposited. the wise editor had a
harmful of stuff. On certain day the
corn, oats and tobacco We're spread up
on tables which ran along three sides
of the court house square, and after
a very prolonged examination the prize
was duly awarded. Then the editor
picked out the finest ears of corn, the
heaviest heads of oats, and the best
twists of tobacco, and sent these Sc
lections to the state fair. He got the
$40 in gold, and besides that he had
sold enough stuff to the hotel propri-
etor to pay his board for six months. +"

the TWO GENT FARE RlLl.

The Times Republican does not be-
lieve there is general demand among
the people of Iowa for reduction of
railroad fares to two cents per mile.
At least there is at present no agita-
ton upon this subject, and the legis-
lature would do well to make very
careful inquiry into this matter he
fore passing upon the bill introduced
in the house providing for such reduc
ton. Under our code railways are di
yided into three classes. and are per-
mitted to charge maximum rates as
follows: Glass A, 8 cents per mile;
class b. 31s cents; class c, 4 cents
per mile. These rate We're regarded
as reasonable when the law was en-
they are now regarded as excessive or
unreasonable. It will devolve upon
the legislature to ascertain whether a
two cent fare Is reasonable in this
period when prices are generally adj
vancing. If not reasonable and prof
liable to the railways the bill should be
condemned. Passenger earnings con-
stitute only about twenty per cent of
railroad receipts, and the rate of earn
ings per passenger is about two cents
per. mile in this territory. SO that the
margin of profit is not large even at
the present graded rate.
The people are inclined to be fair
in their treatment of all great interests
in the state. knowing that If they pros
per it will aid each individual inter-
est. This is their present attitude
toward railroads. They are unwilling
to pay greater rates than the service
demands, and yet they would hesitate
to cut rates to a degree that would
seriously injure these great arteries
of travel, and the courts would not
sustain them in doing so. 1t remains
to be determined by facts and figures
whether the proposed bill is fair.
