Empress of India report the capture
of two sea serpents off the coast of
Japan by fiShermen. One was a male
measuring forty-eight feet. They had
horns two feet six inches long and
ears about two feet. 1t is the opin-

abandoned the deep water for the

has its charms. We've always claim ed that coffee was not only a bracer In the morning. but it also had other virtues which we felt little tinid in making known. Now we refer you to last Sundays New York Herald, page five, column two; there you will read where a lady one night dreamt that Martinique was being totally destroy ed by volcanic eruption and that thou sands upon thousands of human lives were being lost. She then awoke and in. the morning informed her husband she must go back to America and gave him her reason. sBosh." said the hus- band, tits the COFFEE you've been drinking She admitted that, but she was bound on going home. She can now thank her stars, for the dream came true and thousands upon thousands have been called to their last home. Now, the terrible catas- trophe which has taken place is cer- tainly an event which is appalling. But this lady having this particular dream. which unfortunately came true. and she laying it to drinking coffee, arouses our curiosity regarding coffee. If it's true that coffee was the cause of her finding out what events were to take place we suggest that every one should drink coffee so that you can tell what's going to happen In the near future. The kind we sell will make you dream because we have dreams ourselves once in a while and invariably we strike the nail on the head.

timent, which unquestionably is over
whelmingly in favor Of the election Of
senators by direct vote Of the people.
Ibis has been co~nclusively shown in
tne repeated declarations OF political
conventions and in the action Of the
popular branch of congress favorable
to a constitutional amendment provid-
ing for the election Of senator's by the
people.
There is no doubt that in time the
will of the people in regard to this mat
ter will prevail, but 1t is hardly to be
expected that this will come through
favorable action of the United States
senate. The people, however, are not
wholly dependent upon congress to eff
feet the desired change. The constitu-
ton provides for its amendment by re-
curing congress "on the application Of
the legislatures of two-thirds of the
several states, to call a convention fer
proposing amendments, which shall be
valid when ratified by the legislatures
of three-fourths of the states, or by
conventions in three-fourths thereof.
Thus the organic law fully empowers
the people to take this matter in their
own hands and determine it and that
they will eventually do 50 can be con-
fdently predicted. Sentiment favorable
to the election of senators by direct pop
ular vote is growing steadily stronger
and it would seem cannot very much
longer be kept from asserting itself in
the way provided by the federal consti-

REPrRLICAN POLICIEN JrsTLFfED.

REPUBLICAN, PULICIES JUSTIFIED.
The speech of President Roosevelt
before the Union League of Philadel-
phia is one of the strongest of his re-
cent addresses and possesses some fea-
lures that are just now of particular in
terest. The president said hat republi-
can policies, as championed by Presi-
dent Mckinley in 1896 and 1900, have
been justified by events. The promise to
restore prosperity had been kept and
also the pledge to maintain untarnished
the financial honor of the nation. He re-
ferred to the contrasting conditions at
present and eight years ago, remarking
that then there was no such complaint as
is sometimes heard now, that some peo-
pie nave prospered too much, but that
no one had prospered enough. In this
connection the president significantly
referred to the tariff as being ION the
lines that have marked it at all periods
when our well being was greatest" 1t
does not require extraordinary discern
ment to see in this remark that Mr..
Roosevelt is not in accord with those
republicans who are urging tariff revis-
ion and would have it made at the CON-
ing session of congress, regardless of
the possible effect of such an effort upon
the business of the country. 1t is clear
that the president thinks the tariff
should not be disturbed at this time
and it is highly probable he will so state
in his annual message.
Republican policy in regard to the
new responsibilities growing out OF the
war with Spain has also been justified
by results. The task assumed by the
nation in connection with the new
possessions has thus far been well done,
completely classifying, as was said by
the president, the predictions of the
prophets Of disaster. The people Of Il
new possessions are having better gov
eminent than they ever before knew;
they are enjoying more liberty, greater
safety for life and property and a better
chance for happiness than at any other
time in their history. These people are
being given as rapidly as practicable
the benefits and advantages of American
institutions and American civilization.
Every promise made to them is being
faithfully carried out.
An especially interesting feature of
the Philadelphia speech is the reference
to the trusts. The president here shows
undiminished earnestness in the advo-
cacy of legislation for regulating the
great combinations engaged in interstate
business. He declared that we have the
power to do this and shall find out the
way. 1--WE shall not act hastily or reck-
lessly, but we have firmly made up our
minds that a solution, and a right So
luton, shall be found, and found 1t will
be-" Thus the president gives renewed
assurance of his sincerity in this matter,
as to which he has the confidence and
support Of a very large majority of the
people.

High Time to Act
Boston Transcript.

buHAOl
For seventeen years the Interstate Com
merce commission has been trying to pro-
vide for Just and equitable railroad rates
in the United States. Today the rate on
anthracite coal from the coal regions to
Boston, a distance Of 345-Ss7 miles, is S3.25
per ton, or from 81 to "a cents per ton
per mile. The rate on bituminous coal from
the bituminous region to Jersey City, 346-
3SS miles. is S1.7O per ton. OF from A to 40
cents per ton per mile. This is a striking
illustration of the Importance Of effective
governmental supervision over freight
rates, which, under recent decisions Of the
supreme court OF the United States, the
Interstate Commerce commission is power
less to exercise.
1t would seem as though the time had
come when the hands of the Interstate
Commerce commission should no longer be
tied. Representatives Of various business
bodies at the last session of congress ad-
vocated the passage Of the Nelson-Corliss
bill, and had 1t not been that the Elkins
bill in the senate received more support
from the eastern railway interests, It might
have stood a chance of passage. Before
congress opens, however, for its coming
short session a bill will be prepared which
embodies the most essential features OF
both bills, and 1t Is time that a concerted
effort was made to secure its passage.
This revised Elkins bill is worthy Of
serious consideration, not only by the
great mercantile and manufacturing inter
ests of the country, but by the railroads
themselves, as affording them due protec-
ton. It allows the Interstate Commerce
commission to have general jurisdiction over

NO AeREEMESr ON CURRENCY REFORM

NO AGREEMENT ON CURRENCY REFORM.
1t is a noteworthy fact that the na-
tional convention Of national bankers,
while unanimous ON the point that the
currency should have greater tieXlbil-
ity it could not agree upon any specific
plan for making it so. There was agree
ment only in the most general way on
the object to be attained. The omis-
sion was not for lack of choice Of meth
DDS, for numerous plans were outlined
cussed was that Of Comptroller Of the
Currency Ridgely its central point be-
ing an emergency currency under a
privilege to banks Of issuing uncovered
notes, in addition to their notes secured
by bonds, to the amount of 80 per cent
of the latter. While this plan was I'M
doubtedlv favored more than any other,
still the association cautiously RETAINED
from committing itself.
But however clear the need of a more
elastic currency it is hardly likely that
congress will act upon the bare sugges-
ton Of 1t by the bankers so long as they
themselves are unable to agree on or to
offer a specific recommendation as to
how it is to be met. Congress is more
apt to stand upon the absolute security
of the note-holdGr, which toe present
system with all its defects, individually
Affords A half century has not been
sufficient to obscure the memory Of the
evils of the old bank currency whose
fexibility, at least in the direction Of
expansion, destroyed security. A system

which will automatically contract as
well as expand and which nevcrthe-
less will sacrifice nothing Of the secur-
ity provided by our existing currency

rates, but Il legalizes pooling, and II pro-
vides hat rates made by the commission
may be appealed to the circuit court OF the
United States. II is for the interest Of the
railroad companies themselves to have their
joint traf1c arrangements legalized, for rail-
roads do not care to be put in the position
Of voluntary lawbreakers. The penalties
provided in the law are severe, but they
are no more severe than they ought to be
for the protection OF the public. They are
only such as will make the action OF the
commission effective, and are not intended
to apply to any common carrier which is
trying to- carry out the intention Of the
law while looking out for the interests Of
its stockholders.
It must be remembered, in any consid-
Grafton Of the proposed legislation, that It
was the intent of the people of the United
States, in establishing the Interstate Com
merce commission, to give that body power
to control railroad rates, and that the
failure to do this was in the method OF
framing the law. 1t would appear to be
the general conviction-except among those
who have no good opinion of the law, be-
cause they will feel its halter draw-that
1t is now time to carry this intention into
effect, and the passage Of the amended
Elkins bill, Il is believed, will remove the
shackles from the hands OF the commission
and give it that power which it was in
tended to vest in It when the original act
was framed. Seventeen years Of patience
ought to be rewarded, in view Of the mani
fest inequities Of the rates. The single
instance Of the coal extortions is but a
sample.

4 ~REyARK4BLE PRooEEDING

The citation of a number of men,
locked out by the Union Pacific, to APP
pear in the United States court nex
week Friday on the charge of contempt
for violating the recently issued strike
injunction is a remarkable proceeding.
II the strikers are really ~disregarding
court orders with elaboration and in
tent there is no good reason why they
should not be held to answer the same
as any one else charged with a similar
offense.
The injunction. as we under
stand it, however. is simply an
order prohibiting the men from
INDUCING in violence or in the I'M
lawful interference with the strike
breakers. In other words. it is a pro-
hibition Of criminal practices designed
chiefly to afford a quick way to infict
punishment that would otherwise wait
the action Of the criminal courts. If
the strike injunction is being violated,
then why should the citation for con-
tempt be put over a whole week instead
Of requiring an immediate answer?
If the proceedings We're taken in the
usual form, by criminal complaints
against the offenders in the regular
tribunals, they would be arrested at
once, although the formal trial might be
postponed to give reasonable time for
the defendants to answer. The petition
OF the Union Pacific. through its
solicitor. for contempt citations return
able a week later seems to be inspired
more for the purpose Of frightening the
men and influencing public opinion than
from any desire to keep the court orders
inyiolate and protect the dignity and
authority Of the federal judiciary.

SOME COMPARATIVE tIeUREs.

recent Nebraska election presents some
figures that will serve as the basis for
interesting comparisons. While the vol,

curate exhibit of the normal strength of
the parties because in each instance
except in 1898 the republican candidate
has run behind his ticket and the fusion
candidate ahead of his ticket, 1t serves
