Beating RaiIrOa DIS.

There are many people, who stay up
nights to study how they can beat a
railroad company, and there are prob
ably just as many persons with con-
scientious scruples who will go out of
their way to see that company gets
all that is justly due it," observed a
railroad passenger agent to a Wash
ington Star reporter.
I'VE of the railroad realm receive all
sorts of letters of other than a bust
ness nature, the majority asking for
free transportation, others for dona-
lions and an occasional conscience
communication. The latter are the
most amusing of the lot When 1 say
conscience communication 1 mean a
letter from some one to the effect that
he has al some time taken advantage
of the 'scalpers rate and incloses the
amount to which he feels indebted to
the railroad.
Il received just such a communica-
tion the other day. 1t bore the post
Office mark of Sydney, Australia, and
was unsigned. According to the letter.
the sender rode over our line from Lex
ington, KY, to Washington in 1895, on
a 'scalper's' ticket. The letter went on
to say that the sender was conscience
stricken, and, to ease his mind, sent 50
to make up the discrepancy between
the price of a regular ticket and the
amount he paid the 'scalper' for trans
portation."

COTTON GERMAN COLONIES.

The Germans are persistent in their
purpose to grow cotton in their colo
MES for their cotton mills. They think
they can do it, and, hence, will not
| cease trying as long as they entertain
| that belief. But we do not see the
wisdom Of the course being pursued by
the German Colonial Society at Ber-
lin in sending young men to Texas to
learn the methods of planting, harvest
ing and marketing cotton. 1t seems
the plan was the suggestion of the Ger
man consul at Galveston. The young
Germans are to sign contracts with
the German Colonial Society to remain
in it's employ for a certain number
Of years. They are to stay in Texas
until they have mastered the cultiva-
ton of cotton, and then they are to
go to the German colonies in East
Africa. and use their knowledge in
growing the plant there.
But what is the use of sending young
Germans to live upon Texas cotton
plantations to learn what there is to
be learned about the cultivation of cot
ton? There are hundreds of men in
every one Of the cotton states, thor
Oughly posted in regard to the matter,
that would be glad to serve Ger
many in East Africa or elsewhere in
establishing cotton plantations. Why
doesn't Germany seek their services
or. at least why doesn't the German
Colonial Society seek them? Does it
fear that they wouldn't be loyal to
German interests? Of course, German
youth could pick up a great deal on
cotton plantation about the cultiva-
ton of the cotton plant in the course
of year or so, but there are many
things they would miss-things they
might want to know after they began
growing cotton in East Africa. The
men who have beeen brought up on
cotton plantations, however, know
about all there is to know about the
cultivation of the plant, and they would
know what to do in any emergency
that might arise during the growing
of crop-in any emergency except the
appearance of the boil weevil.
1t is extremely doubtful if Germany
will succeed in making cotton prof
liable crop in East Africa though it
is said that the output there this year
is encouraging. The truth probably
is the climate in East Africa is against
cotton growing. 1t would seem so
from the fact that efforts have been
made not only in the German, but also
in the British colonies in Africa to
grow cotton, but never with sufficient
success to Justify the belief that the
crop of Africa would ever amount to
enough to make an appreciate i'm
preston upon the worlds cotton mar
ket. The soil is rich and labor is
plentiful and cheap, but for a reason
that hasn't yet been discovered cotton
doesn't seem to flourish there.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd. )
says: What diplomats up till now,
have done in such circumstances is to
leave off making wry faces as soon as
possible, and set about getting another
treaty in the place of the one that was
not satisfactory. There is no reason
to think this might not have been done
in the case of Colombia But, no, says
the President. the time has come to
declare that the beginning of the canal
cannot be much longer delayed Glad
stone used to be called AN old man in
a hurry But why should the young
man in the White House have been in
such a consuming hurry? Could not a
project which has been on our hands
for sixty years wait till after his re-
nomination? In his haste he has sim
ply passed from one blunder to an
other, diplomatic and political until
now he stands face to face with the
practical certainty of having with all
his hurry, only delayed matters"
OF John d. Rockefeller the Chicago
Record Herald Qnd.) says: Power to
divert traffic follows as a matter of
course. He can do as he pleases with
freight that might make or break a
carrier company. His investments
play into one another in such a way
that he may favor this or that one as
it pleases him. That he should give the
enormous steel tonnage to a pet rail-
road would not be at all surprising.
That in his capacity as a railroad di-
rector he should be kind to the steel
corporation would be quite in keeping
with his old practices. The truth is
that he has become a resistless force
in the industrial world, and that he
will proceed from one monopoly to an
other regardless of all that is said and
done to prevent. If he could live to
the age of the patriarchs the United
States would come to be merely one
of his appurtenances.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: THE Democratic position in re-
gard to the Panama transaction Is adj
mirably stated by Senator Clay of
Georgia, who is member of the Com
mittee on Commerce. OF the course of
the administration he says: 1T is GO
ing long way to recognize the indie
pendence of a government and treat it
in it's Independent capacity and relieve

ent country England recognized the
Confederate states as 'belligerents, but
that the senator argues, is quite a diff
ferent thing from hastily recognizing
the Independence of Panama without
the least consideration for the rights
Of the Republic of Colombia. Admit
ting that Colombia has not acted well
toward this government in rejecting

ator, does not justify this nation In CO.

And do not seek to rise
Above my station to a place
Among the great and wise,
Rich dressing isn't to my taste,

Instead of mingling with the great.

GRAND ARMY DEMANDS.

The impression seems to be strong
in Washington that Congress will grant
the demand of the Grand Army of
the Republic for a service pension of
$12 a month to every surviving soldier
who served in the armies of the I'm
ion for ninety days. This demand was
agreed upon at the last meeting of
the Grand Army. At that meeting
there were some prominent members
who wanted to limit the time to sixty
days.
The reason for thinking that Con-
gress will respond favorably to the
demand is the near approach of a
presidential election. The Republican
party isn't going to take the chance
of losing the votes of veterans of
the Union armies. That party has
never hesitated to use pensions for
political purposes, and it is hardly
probable that it will hesitate when this
new demand is presented to Con-
gress.
Because of the part which pension
legislation has been made to play in
politics the people have been taxed
hundreds of millions since the close
of the Civil War. 1t is estimated by
the Commissioner of Pensions that the
proposed legislation would add at
least 100000 names to the pension list,
and would increase the pension bur-
den at least $25O0O,0 900 a year. perhaps
$S5, 900, 900. If pensions had been given
OnlV IN those
since the close of the Civil War, and
the money thus saved had been put
into the navy, we would now have the
greatest navy in the world.
1t is astonishing how great the pro-
portion of those entering the army
as volunteers is that acquire dis
abilities in the service. 1t is
stated that fully $5,5OOOOO has al
ready been paid out to Spanish War
veterans, and the Commissioner of Pen
sions hasn't got fairly to work yet on
the claims of claimants of this class.
The liberality of this country in the
matter of pensions astonishes other
countries. 1t would bankrupt them
in a short time. 1t would bankrupt
the United States if they were not SO
rich.
Not long ago there was an outburst
of public feeling at the extravaganza
of Congress in the matter of pensions.
and it was thought there would be no
new class of Civil War pensioners.
That feeling having subsidized in
measure the Grand Army comes for
ward with this demand for a service
pension, and it looks as if it would be
granted.
