The Anti-Rebate Act.

One of the measures passed oy
the recent Congress, which is looked
upon as antitrust legislation IS an
act to prevent railway corporations
from making rebates in their freight
charges. This is commonly called
the Flkins Act. As Senator Elk1ns
is a wealthy man and prominently.
connected with several corporations,
there is a sort of grim satire in the
very name. Moreover, the discus
sions that have taken place concern
ing this enactment make it tolerabty
clear that as trust legislation it is
hardly more than a tub to the whale.
It is true that the railways are very
powerful corporations. Perhaps as
nearly as any other corporations do,
they approach the nature of trusts.
But the trouble with this enactment
is principally in the enormous prac-
ticaI difficulty of enforcing it. AS
is very we'll understood by all per-
sons in the least familiar with rail
road business, there is practically
no possibility of preventing the man
ayers of these railways and the ship
pers who utilize their trains from
having private understandings as to
freight charges. It is very well
known, for example, that even when
the presidents of several railways
agree on a freight schedule, and this
schedule is duly printed and publish
ed, nevertheless these agreements
are violated, and that in such a way
that even the rival railways, much
as they would like to do so, are I'M
able to detect and denounce these
violations. We cannot help feeling
that, after all the talk in favor Of
antitrust legislation, this act and
one or two others equally offensive,
which are supposed to put arms into
the hands of the new Secretary of
Commerce and his assistants, are of
little worth.-Nashville Advocate.

papers to get news on stormy days
and nights when wires are down. In
spite of the degree of perfection to
which Mr.. Marconi has brought his
invention there has been some doubt
as to its commercial value. The
Times news service will erve to
show what there is in a wireless tel
egraphy.-Charlotte Observer.
The titanic struggle which is in
evitable between what may be called
the Old Democracy and the New
Democracy, (the former represented
by Cleveland, Hill and German; the
latter by Bryan, Teller and Tom
Johnson,) already is on, and the cleo
ton of German to be the leader of
the Democratic forces in the Senate
and his immediate choice of a ma
jority of the steering committee suit
ed to his own financial purposes, en-
phasizes how keen to take advantage
of conditions are the opposing
forces. Mr.. German is a strong
man. but the appellation fastened
upon him years ago of "The Fox"
expresses exactly what is in the mind
of millions of his fellow-citizens as
they contemplate his methods of
work. No other man in the party
understands the arts of political
wire-pulling better than he, and he
has a commanding view of the whole
situation as~well. But welding for
years the power of a corrupt politi-
clan in a State filled for a long time
with commercio-politics well-nigh as
bad as that of Delaware, Mr.. Cor
man comes to the field of national
politics with a vision none too clear
as to the moral purposes of the peo-
pie; nor does he comprehend the
wonderful strides we have taken
lately toward better politics-a fact
that is not to be denied, bad as
things still are.-Chicago Rural
Voice.

The Delaware Situation.

The ordinary differences of politi-
cal conviction between Republicans
and Democrats are too trivial to be
mentioned in the face of such DO
litical dangers as honest men now
have to face in the State of Della
ware. The Democrats, who were
twice as strong in the Legislature
as the regular Republicans, were
willing to make a complete party
sacrifice on the altar Of sound DO
liticaI morals and common decency.
There are a great many Republicans
all over the United States who would
much rather see their party defeat
ed in the next National election than
have it assume such responsibilities
as that of Addicksism in Delaware.
Apart from the moral aspects of the
case, nothing could be a cheaper or
more fatuous kind Of politics than
for the Republican National Com
mittee to go partners with AddickS
in the scheme to make a Republican
State out of Delaware at the risk Of
losing the independent Republican
vote throughout the country. Mr..
Addicks has already begun to sound
the glorious Republican slogan for
1904 with that irrepressible hilarity
which has characterized his auda-
cious career. He proposes to Gear
ry the State in 1904 for the PreSi-
dent,"-but frankly admits that his
object in doing so is to create a
wave upon which he himself may be
borne triumphantly into the United
States Senate. There are some VIC
tories which cost too dear; and II
MI. Dick, of Ohio, we're a wiser pol
itician, he would know that the pros
pect of carrying Delaware in lVV4
under present circumstances IS nO'
a happy omen for the Republican
party at large. Tammany Hail. IL
New York, is a model of political
virtue when compared with Add1chS-
ism in Delaware. Even a dull po,
litical intelligence can understand
the reasons why the National Demo,
cratic Committee might be tempted
to conspire with Tammany hail.

WHAT THE DISPATCHES TELL.
The News Boiled Down and Presented in
Convenient Form for Busy Readers.

according to a cablegram received
March 26 by the chairman of the
Cuban Senate's Committee on For
eign Relations from Secretary Hay.
Secretary of the Navy Moody and
the Congressional Committee have
selected Guantanamo, Cuba, as the
site of the principal United States
naval station in the West Indies.
Twenty square miles of land and sew
eral small islands will be used.
The Mississippi River continues
to fall at Memphis and at several
points below. A break has occurred
in the Ievee below Greenville, Miss,
and it is three miles wide, and work
ing great destruction. Some lives
have been lost. A second crevasse
has also occurred.
Hon. William J. Bryan aspires to
the position of Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee in
the mex presidential campaign. Mr..
Bryan has, it is stated on apparently
good authority, confded the fact
that he entertains this ambition to
several prominent Democratic lead
ers in Washington.
The polar-exploration habit is
strongly fixed upon Commander
Peary. 1t was understood that his
long effort to reach the pole, which
ended last spring, was to be his last
appearance as an explorer. He had
promised his wife not to go again,
the papers said. But such meagre
tastes of frost as we have had this
winter seem to have Slapped his reso-
luton, for it is now reported hat
he is ready to make another farewell
tour of the Arctic regions, provided
that the Peary Arctic Club can raise
$15O,00O to send him. The verdict
of his last trip was that he was an
exceedingly well-qualifed explorer.
Unless he is thought to be past the
polar-expedition age, there is proba-
bly, no American who is so likely as
he to conduct a successful expedi-
tiOn.-Exchange.
The London Times of Monday
morning led it's foreign news with
two New York dispatches of 200
words, headed "By Marconigraph."
In an editorial the Times says that
the messages are the first received in
a contract with the Marconi Com
pany to regularly transmit daily dis
patches across the Atlantic without
the use of wires. It further says
that the event marks an epoch in the
development of wireless telegraphy,
and we may well believe that it does,
if the experiment proves a success,
and the Times continues to get it's
news from America in this way with
out difficulty. 1t is said that the
wireless kilograms go right through
the teeth of storms, and it will be
interesting to see if this contention
for the new invention is borne out
in the Times experience. If it is,
then after the system comes into
more general use 1t will enable news

The delightful climate, rich and
productive soil, and healthfulness
of this lower Rio Grande are destin-
ed to make it the most thickly pop
ulated and richest section of the
entire state. The rate at which cap
ital has been pouring in here the
past two years, and the many new
settlers that have come in during
this period shows that the tide has
set in, and it will continue to grow
steadily from now on. New people
are coming in continually, and
most who come as prospectors either
invest at first or return again and
do so. The numerous letters of in
quiry concerning this country
which are received by THE HERALD
are an indication that hundreds of
people have their eyes upon Browns
vile and are thinking seriously of
coming to make this country their
home. And they can make no mis-
take in doing so. The lower Rio
Grande valley is undoubtedly des-
tined to equal the famous Nile val
ley in productiveness, and those
who come now will reap the richest
reward on their investment.
