SATURDAY, JULY 10.
ELECTRIC LINE.

Springfield, Mo-. July l4.-It is
now practically certain that the
proposed electric line between this
city and Carthage will be built. 1t
has been estimated that II will cost,
in construction and equipment,
about $500. 200, bat this estimate is
not large enough to make the CAPT.
talists hesitate.
The promoters of the line have
gone over the proposed route three
times and have made thorough in.
vestigations. The scheme has been
under consideration for months
and it is now stated upon good au.
thority that the promoters have de.
cided to build the line and to begin
the work within a short time.
G. w. Baumhoff, brother of the
postmaster of St. Louis, is one of
the leading promoters, but men in
cities to be connected by the rails
are interested and all the capital
will not be Eastern.
The route of the road will be from
Springfield west to Nichols and
continuing in the same direction
in the western part of Greene coun-
ty and in Lawrence county to Paris
Syringe. From Paris Springs the
course changes from west to south
west, the next point of importance
being Mt. Vernon, the countyseat
of Lawrence county. Thence the
line runs west to Stotts City and
from that place directlo to Car
thage. The distance by this route
from Springfield to Carthage is IS
miles, about 20 miles less than the
Frisco route. 1t will take only two
hours to make the trip.
1t would be difficult to find a
richer stretch of country than that
through which the road is to pass.
Much of II is farming land equal to
any in the state. At Stotts City are
the best zinc mines in Southwest
Missouri. Paris Springs is one of
the most popular resorts in the
state and will be much more 80
after the line is built.
At Carthage connection may be
had with the Southwest Missouri
line which runs from that city to
Galena, Kas., 80 that Springfield
will be connected with Galena by
an almost complete electric line.

TO ACCEPT PASSES,
~Ons<SOuth Carolina Senator who Was
Not Under Any Obligations to
Railway Corporations.

One of tho highest types OF ante-1S90
craftsmanship in South Carolina was
Joseph ii. Earle. He was of those
whom Tillman abused TO get into office.
But in 1895 the people Of South Caro-
lima sent him to the United States sem
ate. Temptation came to him as it
did to Tillman in the shape OF offers of
passes and franks. But, unlike Tillman,
he did not accept them. He returned
them to the givers with short and sim
pie letters to the effect that acceptance
of such favors would in no way affect
his vote upon questions in which inter-
ests of the givers were at stake, but
the people of South Carolina, through
their general assembly, had expressed
their will that their public servants
should not accept passes, and while
that law was not operative outside the
state limits, still he respected the will
of those whose servant he was
too much to disobey even the spirit
of u law passed in accordance with
their will. That was all, and he
said nothing of it. Had Tillman done
such a thing, the letters would have
been given to the public and political
capital made of them. Our information
as to Earle's u comes years after
his death from Il South Carolinian who
happened to see his letters. -Columbia

WILL END IN DISASTER.
Former Archbishop of Manila Predicts
Failure of Church Plans.

ROME, June 1S-Mgr. Nozaleda, former
ly archbishop of Manila although repeat
edly asked for his opinion regarding the
appointment of American and Filipino
bishops in the Philippine Islands, has re-
fused saying that he had nothing to add
TO reports he made on leaving the archi
pelago, which he repeated verbally and
amplified in writing when in Rome.
In these reports Mgr. NoZaleda always
has insisted that the Americanization of
the clergy in the Philippines would be
failure, ending in disaster TO the Catholic
Church there. He also professed to have
great distrust in the native clergy.
The Vatican has little confidence in the
native priests hence the proposition of
Mgr Guidi the apostolic delegate in the
Philippines, in favor of the appointment
of two native bishops has not been ac
ctDted
The Vatican fears that these bishops
might invest with the Episcopal dignity
some schismatic prelates, whose position
would thus become valid. Padre Aglipay
and his followers in the eyes of the church.
are now outside of the Catholic pale and
are merely playing a comedy.
