TIE RAILROAD RATE QUESTION.

AO@Ns
In regard to the movement for a gen.
eral advance in railroad freight rates,
the New York journal of Commerce
observes that some Of the arguments
In behalf Of the movement are not al
together sound. It is pointed u that
the argument that rates may fairly be
advanced because the demand for trans
p%ortation facilities is in excess of the
supply, in order to check the demand
and establish an equilibrium. ignores
the fact that railroad transportation is
a public business which is bound to
meet the demand without checking it,
to provide for, all that exists. and that
this business is not subject to free com
petition under which facilities can
readily expand to meet an increased
demand. Another consideration that is
ignored is that the increase and i'm
provement Of transportation facilities
I'during the past ten years, especially
the increase in the power of locomo.
tves and the capacity of cars, has re
suited in a substantial reduction in the
cost per ton mile. AS to the cost OF
extensions and improvements, this ha:
for the most part been paid out Of The
proceeds OF increased capitalization ant
the purpose of the OUTLAWS has beer
not only to increase the volume of bust
ness but to lessen the cost of opera
ton in proportion to the volume.
The simple truth is that there is YER
little that is substantial in the argu
ments Of the railroads for advancin,
rates. They have taken advantage O
the prosperity OF the cohntry to exac
all they dared to and undoubtedly thi
policy will be maintained as long as tn
business of the country can stand Il

A German professor recently asked
what this country has done in the In
terest Of civilization. A man who could
ask that question must confess himself
ignorant Of the progress Of the last half
4 century, or Indifferent TO the influence
which American institutions have been
eNerting upon the world for nearly an
hundred years. 1t would seem a waste
of time to undertake to convince such a
mind as that Of the Berlin professor of
the fact that American example and
American influence have been the most
powerful factors in the last century in
moulding the opinions of mankind and
the policies of governments. No one
who is at all familiar with the history
Of the past half a century can doubt
for a moment that this republic has eX-
erted a greater power and influence
upon the affairs of civilized mankind
than IN other nation and there Is ev-
cry reason to believe that this will be
more potent in the future than in the
past. In a word the power of the United
States is steadily growing and it is in
the interest of progress in every direc-
ton.

No law could be too drastic which per-
mitted the retirement Of an officer who was
for any cause untitled for the serious re-
sponslbilities Of command; that is, always
provided that such a law could be enforced
with absolute impartiality, and not to be
used to promote the ambition Of some off,
Ger, or to punish an efficient officer because
he might chance to have winning ways to
make folks hate him." especially those in
power. Age is not positive, but relative.
One man may be- older physically at "a than
another at Ga. 1t is only necessary to at
tend one of the Loyal Legion dinners, for
example, to see what sturdy trencher men,
and how full of all the indications OF prac-
tlcally undiminished physical and mental
capacity, men past the retiring age may be.
n II we look abroad into the world OF
diplomacy, Of business, of finance, Of law,
or turn to others OF the great industries, we
find men over 81 or GA bearing with ease
burdens that would sit very heavily upon
| younger shoulders. Pierpont Morgan, who
is carrying a heavier load of great enter
prises than almost any other man. would,
were he in the navy or in the army, be re-
duced to innocuous desuetude by his age.
Similar examples might be multiplied in
definitely.
Activity in an army or navy oficer is a
most essential factor in war. AS a rule,
taking the whole history Of war, 1t has un-
doubtedly been the young men who have
accomplished great results in the field,
though the old fellows have done some
pretty tall sprinting, and made our enemies
wish that they had to deal with men of less
experience and less sobriety and GOODNESS OF
judgment, as witness Dewey and Sampson
in the navy; Miles, Young and Chaffee in
the army; and it is only in war that ca
pacity for physical action tells. A type
writing machine can furnish sufficient ac-
tivity for an ofieer in high omman under
the ordinary conditions Of peace, provided
II is directed by brains and experience. The
old soldier and sailor element is to be val
,ued at all times, and especially ia an army
In process of reconstruction, as our army Is
now. AS John Webster says: as not ole

Observation-Disclosures Rhode Island.

Boston Globe.
Some recent revelations regarding Rhode
Island bring that state out as a close COM
petitor OF Pennsylvania for the worst gov
eminent in the country-worst in refusal
to administer public affairs in the interests
Of the whole people. The state is corpora
tion-ridden, and the legislature carries out
the popular will only when ne interest of
consequence is involved. This is the
charge.
A fragrant instance OF legislative indiher-
ence to any possible consequence likely to
follow from ignoring a verdict Of the voters
is found in the experience Of the people OF
Block Island, part Of Rhode Island, but
several miles out at sea. II is thus Pc
culisrly htted to enjoy it's local legislation
without interference even from the inf1u-
ence of the nearest township or county.
Last November the Voters of Block island

which the legislature, for the beneht Of a

FAILURE or CURRENcF LEGIsLATToN.
The failure Of congress to enact any
currency legislation Is a matter Of such
general interest that the entire com
munity, producing and consuming, is
interested in Il. We have seen recently,
in financial operations, the difficulties.
growing out of the fact that the money.
market is to a very large extent depend
ent upon the national treasury. This
mas beer the case from year to year
and under the existing conditions must
continue to be the case. All that is alb
sorbed in the treasury outside of the
customs receipts lie held there and this
means that many millions are annually
kept out Of the hands of the people
and locked up in the vaults Of the treas
ury where there is no advantage to the
money market and very little to the
government.
The effect of this is not good, The
business of the country should not be
deprived of any of the money paid into
the national treasury that is not abso-
lutely necessary to meet the require
ments Of the government. The policy
of piling up a great surplus in the na-
tional treasury is not approved by any
party. The most that should be done
Is to maintain such a surplus as will
place the government in absolutely
good condition under all circumstances.
Senator Aldrich, in deploring the failure
Of his bill to enable the government to
increase deposits with the national
banks and to otherwise increase the
currency supply, for which the demo
Gratis of the senate were chiefly respon-
sible, said that the result Of the failure
Of that measure would be injury to the
business interests of the country. He
declared that it would impair confidence
business and injuring trade. We have
a great deal Of confidence In the opinion
of Senator Aldrich, but in this partfcu.
lar matter we are compelled to think
that he is mistaken. We do not doubt
that it would be expedient to allow @
more liberal deposit of government
funds with national banks thar is now
permissible, but it is a question whether
the conditions provided for under the
Aldrich bill would have the re
suits to be desired. In fact, thu
protest Of the Chicago and othel
western bankers appears to show con
clusively that the effect of that pro
posed legislation would be Of no benen-
whatever.
The simple fact is that the legitimat,
business of the country is not sufferin,
In the least for currency and there II
no danger that it is likely to do so il
the near future. There is no doubt 1
would be wise to allow the nationa
treasury TO keep It's surplus among tn,
people, but this should not be done a
any sacrifice to the public.

The attempt to revive the talk of David

pendous folly and short sightedness in the

was a golden opportunity for the democrats
to carry New York, All that was neoes-
sary was to nominate Judge Parker for gov

Mr.. Hill was in absolute and unquestioned
control Of the situation. Instead OF nom
mating Judge Parker he put forward Coler

would not stand in, the way OF his ambition
to be president. AS If this were not enough,
Mr.. Hill, without. announcement or any dis
eussion, thrust into the state platform
the boldest and most startling piece of
socialism and Capitalization ever suggested
in a convention that called itself demo-
cratie-a demand for the federal ownership
and management OF the anthracite coal
mines. 1t was impossible that this should
have been meant seriously-for Mr.. Hill is
an able lawyer and has proclaimed himself
a democrat. 1t was too p~alpably meant TO
catch votes" out Of the distress caused by
the coal famine. Is a leader who showed

that the decision rendered by him in the
beef trust case will be allowed to stand

lating to railway rebates, so that the
meat packers would have nothing to

taxation of sleeping Cars valid.
PHILADELPHIA e

The United States supreme court yester-
day upheld the cbnstitutionality of an act
of the Mississippi legislature imposing a
state tax on sleeping cars. The Pullman
company resisted the payment of the tax
and carried the matter to the supreme
court, alleging that 1t was an interference
with interstate commerce. The company
will now pay the tax or stop running its
cars through Mississippi. But in taking
the question to the supreme court the
Pullman company will probably lead other
states to follow the course of Mississippi in
this matter, which will add materially to
the Pullman company's tax bill.

LAWLEss SUPPLY PURCHASES.

The controversy in the lower house
of the legislature over the heavy bills
presented for payment for furniture,
carpets, stationery, blue books and in
cidentals purchased for the use Of the
legislature without specific authority
foreibly calls the attention Of the law
makers to the bad precedents estab-
lished years ago under pretext of fore
stalling the wants of the legislature.
Ten years ago a great scandal was
uncovered by the Investigation Of the
claims for furniture and supplies pur-
chased by former Secretary of State
Allen for the use Of the legislature.
That generous guardian of the state
seals had bought his. furniture from a
drug house at retail druggists prices
and his DISTINGUISHED enthusiasm
prompted him to invest in solid silver
ink stands for the speaker and clerk
! Of the house and double-action rockers
at double prices for members of both
houses.
One of the articles Of impeachment
against Champagne Johnny Allen" was
based on his o~ver-zealous anxiety to
please the incoming legislature and put
money in the pockets of contractors
willing to take the risk of collecting
their extravagant claims But such
things seem to be very easily forgotten
as well as forgiven in Nebraska and
legislature after legislature has been
compelled to wrestle with claims for un-
sumption that the legislature will not
repudiate a debt for materials or mer-
chandise furnished by order of a state
officer.
Is it not about time for one legisla-
ture, at least, to plant its foot firmly
against these abuses? While the state
cannot afford to repudiate just obliga-
lions legally or even illegally incurred,
notice should be served on all present
and future state officers that they are
expected to respect the specific pro
vision of the constitution that prohibits
the state from mourning liabilities be.

i~slature unless indeed 1t is in an ex.

ing legislature and f%orestalling the
wants and wishes of members regard.
ing the legislative manuals is not only
wasteful but pernicious. When the
state buys merchandise on credit before
an appropriation is made it is but nat
ural for the merchant who takes thu
risk to pad his bills out Of all proper

1t is the manifest duty of the legis

The United States is not only the first
power in the world in respect of ma
'tional resources, but also in the matter
of its financial power. This is a fact
which is not commonly understood by
our people. The average man thinks of
our country as simply one that is able
to defend itself against any foreign foe,
but as a matter Of fact that is only a
small part Of the nations power.
The truth Is that the great source Of
the national strength OF the United
States is in its, productive capacity and
its enormous industrial activity and en-
terprise. There are very few OF our
people who understand how vast this is,
or who have any comprehension of the

Extensive Plans for Irrigation.

~|TFF~+F~-| III
The far-reaehing plans for irrigation of
the arid west through the assistance of
the powerful national government are
slowly turning into facts. Yesterday a
contract was let for a dam across the
Snake river in Idaho that. with two large
main bitches, will reclaim 100000 acres
of fertile land. 1t is we'll known that a
forty-acre irrigated farm is equal in pro-
ductivity to a 160-acre n~onirrigated farm.
On that basis the Snake river reclamation
will provide $500 farms, or, probably,
homes for about 1000 people, and the
villages and cities will have from 25, OOC
to so, 900 more. And all this will come from
the watering Of only 1900 acres! And
before Uncle Sam is through with his bic
Job he will turn water onto 1000, OO(
acres.
