A CHANGED MAN.

A Scotchman had reached the
summit of his ambitions, says
Everybody's Magazine, in attaining
to the magisterial bench. The
honor seemed to him . great one,
aud he tried to live up to it.
With his head high in the air he
swaggered along till he went bolt
up against . COW which had not the
manners to get ont Of the way, but
continued to browse BY the rosd.
side in mild unconcern.
"Mon," cried the indignant
owner, ''mind my cooi"
"Woman," he replied, with hne
dignity, s1'm no longer . mon.
I'm 3 baillio."

G. Gonzales on the streets of Co.
lumbia, s. c., on Thursday Of last
week. The affair was brought
about by Gonzales severe criticism
Of Tillman's candidacy for the
0overnorship . few months ago.
It was . plain case ofassassination.
Gonzales Was not armed at the
time, but was deliberately shot
down without warning. There
was some talk Of lynching Tillman
for his outrageous act, which was
avertsd by wise counsel. The
assassin had two pistols when ar
rested. He should have been hung
without further ceremony. A
State officer who goes around
loaded down with pistols, and
shoots people without warning just
because they happen to oppose him
for public Office, is q dangerous
character, and the quicker he is
gotten out Of the way, the better it

RAILROADS m LOUISIANA.

The report of the Louisiana
Railroad Commission shows q tota
railroad mileage in the State ol
1899 miles, as compared with
1862 last year, an increase of 23s
miles during the year. As the
report is made mp only to the end
Of June, aud as railroad building
has been active this year, it is now
certain that We have passed the
three thousand mile point. The
new construction during the year
239 miles-is a handsome increase
aud far above the average Of the
country, and gratifying feature
of it is that the building :is not
being overdone, that the railroads
constructed have not been wild or
visionary schemes, but designed to
meet the demands of business.
There is still room for many miles
more Of road which can find plenty
of business to do; indeed, the suc-
cess of the new roads has been 10
distinctly encouraging that tho pro.
jects for new lines are more numer-
ous than ever, and the indications
are that the mileage constructed
during the present year will greatly
exceed that of last year. Let us
note in this connection that the
provision in the Louisiana consti-
tuition exempting railroads built
now from taxation for ten years
has only a short time longer to
run, and that company contem-
plating building should begin work
at once in order to assure this OF.
emption.
While the railroads enumerated
by the commission number thirty
two, the tendency toward oousoli.
dation has been SO marked a feat
ure Of railroad business Of recent
years still keeps on, and these
roads are actually under the con.
troll OF fourteen corporations; iu.
deed, this number might be still
further reduced il the matter were
probed deeper and the holding of
stocks and bonds could be critically
examined.
1t will be remembered that iu
Louisiana, as elsewhere, when the
creation Of a Railroad Commission
was suggested we were warned that
1t would have a tendency to dis.
tnrb, demoralize and unsettle the
roads and to keep away capital in.
Glued to embark in the railroad
business. The only answer needed
to this claim is to be found in the
report Of the Railroad Commission
showing that railroad construction
has increased far more rapidly
since its creation than when tho
railroads were without control or
supervision Of any kind. The les
sou contained in this fact .hoold

WHO ARE THE EIGHT THOUSAND?

The second edition of Who
Who in America" (from the pres
of A. N Marquis & Co., Chicago
contains 1900 pages of brief bio
graphies, without eulogy, criticism
or comment, Of snch persons nov
living in America rs have becom,
noted as factors in the progress:
and achievement Of the age. "En
deaver has been made" say tn,
editors, "to include all Americans
of more than local note in all lines
of useful effort" No name is in
serted or omitted for financial con
siderations; the book is sold on its
merits.
With IL view to determining what
effect education Of the various
grades has had on success in life,
effort was made to ascertain the
school training Of each of these
neu aud women "uf more than
local note" and 1852 on their
United States list were thus educa-
tionally classified.
According to the best estimate
we can make from the latest census
returns there are in the U. s. 5O,-
1872, ,O07 persons over 2l years old.
These are divided educationally
about as follows:
Glass 1. Without school training. -. 1852 ,49s
Glass 2. With only common school
training..... .....,.................3 81 862 051
Glass 3. With common and high school
training ...,......, ............ 2, l65 ,357
Class 4. With college or higher educa-
tion added Observation-Disclosures. 1,O71 ,2O1
Now the question is, how many
of the eight thousand distinguished
citizens Of the United States on the
Who's Who list came from each of
these classes.
The 4, ,6S2 498 Of class furnished. -. 81
The 80 s62 9O1 Of class 2 furnished. ...... sOs
The 2. 165 ,357 os class furnished. ,245
The ,O71 POI Of class 4 furnished. s., 7s6
1t TINS appears:
LIST. That an uneducated child
has one chance in 10000 of at
tanning distinction as a factor in
the progress Of the age.
I'd. That common school edu-
cation will increase his chance
nearly four times.
3rd. That high school training
will increase the chance Of the COM
mon school boy twenty-three times,
giving him eighty-sevep times the
chance of the uneducated.
4th. That college education in.
creases the chance of the high
school boy nine times, giving him
two hundred and nineteen times
the chance of the common school
boy and more than eight hundred
times the chance of the unframed.
1t is a surprising fact that Of
! 1852 "notables" thus gathered,
1910 proved to be full; graduates
Of colleges.
From the nature of the case it
can not be claimed that these fig-
nres are exact, but they are based
upon the most reliable government
statistics and the necessary estim-
ates have been made with each
Ease. 1t is also doubtless true that
other circumstances contributed to
The success of these college trained
men, but after after all reasonable
allowances are made the figures
still force the conclusion that the
more school training the child has
he greater his chances Of distinc-
ion will be.
