Ont OF n job.

An individual who was appointed by
Mr.. Mckinley collector OF internal
revenue for this state has failed Of
confirmation because he was impli-
Gated in the lynching of q negro or
two. He thinks he has been badly
treated. But as the job was obtained
for him under the prodigiously false
pretense that he was a gold Democrat,
he has no ground 10 complain. Besides,
he received a lot Of glory at the time
on account of his part in the l%ynching
Time was when being a gold Democrat
was u far more serious political crime
in this state than being q ~lyncher and
1t must be conceded that never was
there a soul less guilty of the former
than was this thoroughly unconfirmed
collector. OF course he may have be-
come q gold Democrat after the hope of
Republican favor doomed up.

WRITES OF THE EVILS OF THE
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF
RAILROADS.
Disastrous Trial Of the Matter on the
Northern Pacific in Manitoba
People Of Province Awoke to Find
That a New Schedule Had Been
Posted,

Most men who think at all have a
hobby. Mine is government railroads.
l believe. after looking about a bit
at home and abroad, that a good rail.
road is a good thing for any govern,
ment of any country to have-nothing
to do with.
Here is a recent vindication.
A year or SO ago the provincial gov
eminent of Manitoba got control of the
Northern Pacific railway. Roughly
speaking. the government leased all
the lines of the Northern Pacific in
Manitoba, and these were connected
with the line of the Canadian North
ern Railway company from Winnipeg
to Port Arthur. the management of
the whole system being handed over to
the Canadian Northern. The province
assumed the Indebtedness of the sys-
TEN. thereby mourning a liability esti-
mated at $442. 900 a year. but retained
control of the railway rates. This
control Of rates was the governments
trump card in appealing to the legisla-
ture and public for support.
The rates you pay" screamed the
politician, are robbers rates. They
are maintained. not to enable the Ca
madam Pacific to pay a dividend, but
to enable it to set up a few mor
dukes, a few more lords and a few more
knights on the banks of the Thames"
That was the sort of stuff the spell
binder ladled out to the prairie-break-
ers, and he made it go.
The leader of the opposition and the
Winnipeg board of trade pronounced
against it, but the bill went through,
the province went "braking." and will
go broke II it keeps going.
Wholesale houses sent our drum
mers, and they drummed and sold gu
gar and salt. syrup and soap. to be de-
livered at the rate fixed by the govern
ment. The farmer smiled. He owned
the railroad now, and a few more
meetings of the legislature would make
1t cheaper to travel than to sleep in
the city hospital. The great wave Of
prosperity that swept over the whole
northwest, the thousands of immi-
grants swarming up across the border.
the immense crops-everything vent
to the honor and glory Of the great head
who had foreseen it all and fought 1t
out on the stump and in the provin-
cial parliament. The earnings Of the
lines. declared the farmers friends.
would relieve the province and remove
the necessity Of meeting any liabilities
in the premises. The net earnings for
the first year were estimated at
$751; CTS.
It was beautiful. But it never hap
pened.
The other day the people Of the
province Of Manitoba woke to find that
a new schedule had been posted by the
government-controlled railroads. The
rate had been raised.
OF curse the wholesale house was
bound to deliver the stock. and the re
tail man had to make good. He did
this by simply marking up the price
of sugar and salt. syrup and soap, and
the farmer paid the freight.
Verify it would seem to a sober per-
son that the business of railroading is
for the railroad man and politics for
the politician.

Crank Today-Profit Tomorrow.

That the man we consider a crank
today may turn out to be the prophet
Of tomorrow is proved by IN anecdote
from Hannibal, Mo-, the birth place of
Mark Twain.
The prototype of the Colonel Sellers,
at whom millions have laughed. was a
neighbor Of Mark Twain. One night
in a public address he told his audience
the time would come when the people
could take a train at Hannibal and
ride to the Puget Sound without a
change Of cars. The villagers laughed
his assertion to scorn, for then the
only means of travel they knew were
q wheezy little steamer and an anti,
quated stage.
Now a modern express train passes
through Hannibal over the Burlington
route for the Puget Sound every day
In the year.

Like Sterling on Silver"

Often a striking expression is coin
ed which appears to be original. AT
ter it has been in general use for a
time. however, somebody calls atten-
ton to the fact that it is merely an
old idea in a new dress.
For instance, the Burlington has
widely advertised the phrase. The
word Burlington is like sterling on sill
YER" This was found a few years ago
written by someone on the bach of Il
menu card in a Burlington dining car.
Efforts to discover the identity of the
writer have been without success.
Now comes F. B. Sherwood of Los
Angeles. who, for twenty years. has
used this trade motto. THE name of
SHERWOOD on an article means the
same as the sterling mark on silver"
In a letter to General Passenger
Agent Francis of the Burlington. Mr..
Sherwood expresses satisfaction that
the Burlington uses a motto so nearly
like his own. He writes: Il have just
returned from a three months trip
through the east and had occasion to
patronize the Burlington on several oc-
casions. | was always treated very
decently and always given one hun
bred cents worth of transportation or
grub. as the case might be. for my
dollar. l trust the Burlington will
continue to use the expression"

A Startling Surprise.

Very few could believe in looking at
A. T. Hoadley, a healthy, robust black
smith Of Tilden, Ind, that for ten years
he suffered such tortures from rheu,
matism as few could endure and live.
But a wonderful change followed his
taking Electric Bitters. 1.-TWO bottles

have not felt a twinge in over a year."
They regulate the kidneys, purify the
blood and cure rheumatism. neuralgia,
nervousness. improve digestion and

OF the new battleships Connecticut

most powerful in the world. having
the advantage of increased velocity

weapons to defend US we need have
no fear of foreign invasion in times

only protect their system with Hostel,

bought $4,000 acres of West Virginia

Extensive coal deposits were found
and the timber yielded large profits.

railroad, and superintendent the whole
work, S that the workmen said Of
him that he knew every nail that was
used. This wilderness now has large
towns and many industries. Some
years ago the Dad reached a certain
point and stopped. 1t was evident that
an important projection would be
made. A young man ven to Senator
Davis and said:
''i"'oi, Shpp'St YOU ME" IL
worthy young person who had aid by
a little money for Investment. and you
also knew where the towns were to
be located upon the new line, what

"Well,' he said slowly. Il might

Yellowstone Park Travel.

Yellowstone National park travel
| during the season recently closed was
exceeded in numbers only by the sea
son of 1897. The park transportation
company carried 1870 persons through
the park during 19O2-fifty-threc less
than we're carried in the banner year
of 1897. The park hotel company furn-
ished accommodations to 6.34O per,
sons. Of whom 1929 entered the park
via the Northern Pacific-Burlington
gateway, while 1.411 entered by way
OF Monida. August saw the largest
number of tourists. During that month
2,375 were cared for at the hotels.
A further idea of the success of the
season in Yellowstone park can be
gained from the fact that it required
593 horses. 175 men and 10 vehicles to
handle the traffic in the park. Feed for
the horses consisted of 1000 tons of
hay and I. 200, 900 pounds of oats. These
figures are taken from the reports just
filed with the United States govern
ment.
