RAILROADS AGAINST CANAL.

There may not be any truth in all
the reports which come to the United
States about the efforts of the trans
continental railroads of this country
against the Panama canal treaty in
Colombia. Probably there is basis
of truth in some of them. however,
1t is pretty well known that the rail
road interests were hostile to the ca
nal project when the bill was before
congress. There Is good reason to
believe that they used considerable
influence in the endeavor to delay or
defeat the measure.
IL is hardly necessary to say that a
few millions of dollars would go a
good deal farther in Bogota than in
Washington. Colombia's capital sees
less cash in any connection than does
Americas. The proportion of venal
persons in and around the national
legislature must be immensely larger
in the South American country than
ii is in ours, for the press is immeas-
urably more active here than IL is
there. and the chances of detection
are correspondingly greater. Just
as effective work can be done in Co
lombia against the canal as could have
been accomplished here. A defeat for
ratification in the Colombian congress
would kill the canal project. for the
time, just as dead as defeat for the
bill at any stage in the congress at
Washington would have done.
Therefore, a great deal of interest
will be taken in the United States in
the meeting of the congress which
convened at Bogota Saturday. If 1t
be true that agents Of Morgan, HILL
Hartman, Gould and the other big
railroad magnates are active at that
capital. their work will begin to show
itself promptly, although their own
hands may be invisible. The overage
Latin-American legislator may be pre-
sumed to have fair degree of respect
for United States cash. The men who
control the transcontinental railroads
in the United States could AFFORD to
spend a good deal of money to bring
the defeat of the canal bill.

ENTERTAINING FICTION.

One advantage of reading a serial
story in daily newspaper is that an
installment of convenient length is
received every day that does not
consume an undue amount of the
readers time. An installment of a
high-grade serial story appears in
every issue of the Chicago Record
Herald, popular feature of that en-
,erprising Chicago daily. Among the
successful stories that have recently
been enjoyed by Record Herald read
ers are Soldiers of Fortune" by Rich
ard Harding Davis; The Thrall of Lief
the Lucky" by Ottillie Liljencrantze;
'Trstram of Blent," by Anthony
Hope; When Knighthood Was in
Flower" by Charles Major, Alice OF
Old Vincennes." by Maurice Thomp-
son and "Graustark." by George b.
McCutcheon. Every issue contains
also a short illustrated human inter-

All the schooling and education in

they have the get-up and grit in them
individually to sail in energetically

RAILROAD CARS AS CON-

The state board OF Kentucky is con
ducting an investigation with view
of ascertaining to what extent disease
germs are carried on coaches and
Pullman cars. and taking measures
to decrease the danger therefrom to
the public. The Kentucky body Is not
the first to have Investigated the same
matter, and IL was long ago well es-
tablished that infectious germs were
conveyed in coaches and Pullmans SO
as to present menace to the travel
ing public. The railroads and the
Pullman company have long recogniz-
ed this fact and have instituted re-

CLEVELAND AGAIN DODGES
THE MAIN QUESTIO

Former President Grover Cleveland
words in which to inform a cores
pondent for the New York World that
he is out of politics and that he has
no desire to re-enter public life. In
deed he assures the country that he
has not remotely entertained the
thought since he left Washington
more than six years ago.
Mr.. Cleveland does not stop with
these Illuminating utterances regard
ing his attitude toward a fourth can
didate. The expresident was never
cinct utterance. Although a plain,
blunt man. he has no fondness for
brevity when 1t comes to 2lucidating
A proposition in which he is interest
ested He has penchant for stat
ing n proposition in several different
kinds of sentences, so that no one may
misunderstood his meaning.
That is what he did In making his
statement to the New York newspa-
per correspondent. He is not salts
fled with the mere declaration that he
has mo thought of re-entering public
life" He goes on to say that the
matter is as far from his thoughts as
II was in 1896, that he has no higher
aspiration than to pass his days in
peace with his family around him,
that he has never spoken to anyone
On the subject of fourth candidacy.
that he has never written to single
political friend one way or the other.
nor has he been written to or spoken
to by them about 1t, nor Is any polit-
ical leader of any prominence endeay
oring to advance any movement in
any state to nominate him, nor does
he believe that any. such effort will
be made.
All of which Is very interesting.
Anything that Mr.. Cleveland writes OF
says is interesting. But In all these
225 words which the ex-president Is
quoted as saying. he fails to state that
he does not want the nomination for
the presidency or that he would refuse
it If rendered him by the Democracy.
OF course he has no desire to re-
enter public life. The matter of a
| fourth nomination is far from his
thoughts. He has spoken to no one
on this subject and no political leader
| has mentioned IL TO him. All this may
be true. But VIII Mr.. Cleveland ac-
cept fourth nomination from his par
| ty for the presidency? II Mr.. Cleve-
| land will answer this he will clear
| the heavy and oppressive atmosphere
that fills the sanctum Of the Common
| er at Lincoln. Neb.
