EDITORIAL OPINION
Letter Writina.


From the Philadelphia Public LedgN.
observe the all too frequent spectacle
OF wreck and ruin wrought by foolish
or thoughtless pens! Our political
graveyards are full Of the remains Of
men who wrote not wisely and too
much. Presidential candidates have
been .pilloried by the public press; for
eign Ministers have been recalled in
disgrace by their Governments; Sena-
tors have been branded as plum tree
plunderers, and a host of others 'rul-
ing in places OF power or serving in
places of trust" have been Inundated
by the publication of some literary in
discretion. marked in vain "Confiden-
ial' or Burn this"
May it not be advisable TO train a
new generation Of politicians in ignor-
ance of penmanship? II is no dis
credit 10 man to have been denied
early education. Inability TO read and
write might be distinctly advantageous
TO a public man in some instances. The
citizens OF a Western town. some years
ago, elected an utterly iliiterate man

Give II Back to Cuba.

From the Baltimore American.
The treaty ceding the Isle Of Pines
10 Cuba should meet with no obstacle
in the Senate. II is simply a restitu-
tion. The island has belonged 70 Cuba
since the latter was first occupied by
the whites. II has never at any time
been a matter of doubt until a few
Americans after the Spanish war set
tied on II and undertook to monopo-
lize its interests The world has gone
on for more than 800 years under the
impression that this island was geo.
graphically and politically a part of
Cuba. and Of course Cuba has thought
and claimed the same thing. and now
d few Americans who have settlee
there or invested money there, put up
the pretense that they discovered il,
or worse still, that 1t belongs to Spain
and insist that the United States shall
take 1t. This country cannot afford to
acquire territory in that way.

In all lines of business throughout the
West the opinion among traffic men is that
the excess of traffic offered for shipment
over and above what the average railroad
will be able to handle under the most IA
vorable circumstances is equal to 10 per
cent The great significance of this is that
in two years many of the railroads have in
creased their motive power and car equip
ment fully % per cent. and are still unable
to keep abreast of the continued increase in
traffic. The determination of executive
officials of Western roads is to establish a
higher basis of tariff all around in the line
of advances, as suggested by NJ Z. Ingalls,.
president of the Big Four, and ii is said
the railway managers are not daunted by
threats of shippers. On the contrary, their
attitude indicates that they are inviting
inquiry into causes for the advance. An
Eastern financial paper quotes one of the
leading officials asserting that his road
will welcome an investigation into the situ-
alton by the lnterstate-commerce Commits
sion, as he regards that course the fairest
and quickest way of convincing shippers of
the real existing conditions. Local freight
officials state that the shortage is still
felt, but there has been an Improvement

Southwestern get empty cars they would
soon straighten out all congestion on their
respective lines, but they still have to de-
pend largely on loaded cars which come
West for their supply of empty cars. There
is a great demand for grain cars refrig-
orator cars and live stock cars to move
freight to the Eastern markets, and the
South is calling loudly for provision cars
which makes a scarcity in this line and
really cuts down export business.

A Radical Innovation.

Beginning with March the Santa Fe will
revolutionize the method of keeping rail-
road accounts. Division superintendent
will be relieved of all accounting work.
which is TO be done under the supervision
of the auditor through his direct repre-
sentatives. The Santa Fe will be the first
to make such radical innovations. The
plan was evolved by Auditor Jennings. and
has been approved by President Ripley.
The accounting features heretofore MAIN
tanned by division superintendent will be
under the direct charge of a representative
of the accounting department of the audit
or's office, who will maintain his own corps
of clerks and be independent Of the division
superintendents.

against him in the supply of freight cars
for coal shipments. He says he is engaged
in shipping coal from Irwin and Penn
Station to the various markets of sale and
consumption throughout the United States.
He alleges that, desiring. to make ship

Johnstown and other points, he asked the
railroad to furnish him cars; that they
neglected TO do so. but furnished cars there
and at other points for the loading and
shipment of coal to other States by COM

the railroad has in effect discriminatory

that the road furnishes cars to the ship

New York Special.


A physician OF this city has under obser-
walton a case which is the first experiment
in this country with a new anti-streptococ-
Gus serum. which is believed to destroy the
germs of sacrlet fever.
Several days ago the doctor was called to
see a frail little girl who had a severe at
tack of scarlet fever. Her temperature was
104 degrees. The doctor decided to try the
new serum. Twelve hours after one injec-
ton the patients temperature decreased
two degrees. In the morning Of the follow
ing day Ii descended to normal but rose
again TO 10l. On the fourth day II con-
tinued normal The last report is TEN

This new serum was discovered by DIR.
Haines Aronson. a bacteriologist OF Berlin.
Experiments with II for scarlet fever began
last July and the cases experimental on
were selected regardless of severity. Eighty
per cent OF those treated were discharged
as cured and their recovery was without
the usual considerations Of scarlet fever.

Republic by people who pride themselves
on their ''chivalry." This word evidently
has different meaning in different places,
for Washington has been waiting in vain TO
see some senator who feels strongly on the
negro question, but also respects woman
hood, TO rise in his place and hold up TO
scorn, in the name of the South all such
offenders against common decency. Barring
that privilege, the next best thing will be
to hear the roll called on the Crum nomi-
