The Chinese are known to have lit
tie or no real respect for women in
positions of power and influence, but
they were obliged to submit to the
long regency of the eastern and west
ern expresses, obtained by them
through fraud and murder and to the
u%surpation of the present empress af-
ter the death of her colleagues, and
continued after the present emperor
arrived at his majority and undertook
to rule his own empire. The Chinese
under the rule of the empress regents
OF the Manchu dynasty have never
been satisfied that either the eastern
or western empress was, as an occu-
pant of the Dragon throne, a direct
mediator with heaven. They have,
however, %contented themselves with
sporadic revolts and have never been
able to unite, because they lack the
national feeling, and radical differ
ences in dialect separate the people of
adjoining provinces.
The weakness Of the Chinese, in
fact, is that they cannot get together
in a common movement, else they
have removed the Manchu dy-
nasty long ago.
1t will be well for the foreign pow
ers to keep their eyes open and not
take too much for granted as to peace

SCHEDULES THE PROOF.

SCHEDULES THE PROOF,
By his own testimony given Defor
the Interstate commerce commission
at Chicago last Friday President Hill
OF the Great Northern fatty contra
diets the claim so often made for hin
by his friends, namely that while con
stantly involved in the management
and institution of affairs of the mos
colossal proportions, he is still emf
nently a man of detail and thorough
ly familiar with all the minutea of the
various enterprises in which he is in
terested. To the commission he stat
ed in the most emphatic name pos.
sible that competition in the railroad
business was not productive of lower
freight and passenger rates. The
contrary, he declared, was more often
the result.
When Mr.. Hill made the assertion
he was probably still thinking of his
Fargo speech and the effect it had
upon his bucolic auditors, and posi-
bly, also had not seen copies of a GER
tain Minneapolis newspaper, which,
since that speech was delivered, has
gone to the trouble of getting copies
of various freight schedules and pub
fishing them, with comments calculat-
ed to compel a comparison of the
rates given. That paper has establish
ed beyond dispute that competition
does have it's effect on rates, and very
marked effect, at that. 1t shows how
points in North Dakota and Minnesota
where Mr.. Hills roads come in com
petition with the $500 and other
lines have the benefit of much lower
rates than other points eqi-distant,
but not situated on competing roads.
Furthermore, it shows that those COM
peting points have rates which are
lower than are made to some points
not so far from the initial points. but
without the advantage of location on
competitive systems of railroads.
The figures which the paper in cues
ton sees ut to use in REPUTATION of Mr..
Hills statements to the farmers of
Fargo and the members of the inter
state commission are obtained from
schedules issued by Mr.. Hills W
roads and those with which he comes
competition. 1t is possible that
MIR. Hill was not aware of these
things, but if SO he is singularly igno-
concerning matters of business
with which 1t is but reasonable to
suppose he is more or less concerned
which directly affect him. It will
hardly do for him to say that the in |
quoted are mere happenings
md not the results of effort on the
part of himself and his ~lieutenants. |
It is difficult to conceive that he would
plead guilty to such gross careless
and ignorance concerning the af-
airs of enterprises or which he is the
acknowledged and responsible head as
such an admission would necessarily
)e.
If competition is not resultant of
ow rates even Mr.. Hill must find it
lard to explain why places remote
rom the initial points of shipments,
tut which are fortunate enough to be
ituated so as to form converging CEN
ers of competing roads,, enjoy the
'enefits of rates in many instances
much lower than are granted to places
the point of origin, but not
qually fortunate in the other re-
pect. To put it palmer, he will have
0 tell why a short haul must often
'ay more than a long haul.
