 COMM ENT
In the Interest of Brevity.

The Massachusetts legislature passed a. law last year creating a board Of editors composed of state officials, whose duty it is to reduce the size of state departmental reports to reason- able limits. These pUblica tions are growing more and more bulky, and MassaC husetts has taken the initiative in correcting an abuse which prevails to d greater or less extent in all the states. The tendency toward pro:ixity iH all government reports is marked. A board of experts in condensation, who would perform their labors with judicial severity and impartiality. would materially reduce the cost o- printing the reports and hasten tlcr publication.
 The messages of the governors arc VI many instances open to the criticism which applies to state reports. They. tOo, ncco merciless revision for the s2 Nc of brevity and force. According to the Chicago Record Herald, the rece1c an- nual message of Governor White of West Virginia is the most formidable document of the kind produced in re- cent years. Tt is claimed by the people of West Virginia that Governor White j message is the longest on record" 4 few excerpts from this state paper wandered over nineteen columns OI an ordinary newspaper. The Record Her aid estimates that the message printed in nonpareil type would reach from Red Bank, N. J., to What Cheer, Ia. In point of mileage Governor Whites exhaustive effort is probably unrivaled. The Record-H II erald advises Governor La Toilette, who produced q message of 45,000 words, to begin his next mes sage at once if he wishes to enter the lists with Governor White with any, hope Cf success.
 One Of the secrets of the late Speaker Reeds success as a statesman was his brief and incisive speech. He rarely made long addresses. Occasionally l governors message is a model of prev ity. Such efforts are likely to be read and to command public attention. Some years age the British house Of common, adopted 9 resolution declaring that the dura tion of parliamentary speeches was increasing and should be abated. The resolution passed by a majority or sixty. The evil is not modern, however. Gladstone on 9 certain occasion recalled

Communications and Germany.

The Spectator, of London, has a curi- ous idea that American citizens of Ger man birth or descent might profitably engage in an attempt to convert Ger many to liberal ideas and gradually make the basis of the German state one of freedom instead of autocracy. "if there were a sincere, temperate and reasonable exercise of German-Ameri can opinion," says the Spectator, tits influence, if gradual, would ultimately be very great
 In all this the English publication seriously mistakes the situation in the United States. if not in Germany it. self. The American citizens of German descent who are fitted to engage In some such missionary labor as this are so completely Ar2ericanized that they have no disposition to undertake the labor referred to- They are no more :9- terested in emancipating Germany from the curious rule of Wilhelm II than they are in providing q constitution for Russia. home rule for Ireland or local self-government for Poland. They are Americans, and they have rrou- bles enough of their own.
 On the other hand, the few German Americans who are greatly concerned over events in the Fatherland are not prepared to array themselves against the autocFatic rule of the emperor. All such take more pride in him and in his theatrical performances than they do in anything that the democratic ana lfberty-lOving masses of Germany may be engaged in. They would applauH the emperor rather than criticise him, and as for maintaining a propaganda of liberal ideas antagonistic to the di- vine right notions. they would be the last persons in the world to enlist In sG;ch an enterprise.
 The great body of Americans or Ger man descent have no more reason 70 undertake the conversion of of the ec- centric Hohenzollern who chances to be on the throne at Berlin than the mass of Americans of British descent have to ecntribute time and money in an at tempt to make a Jacksonian democrat out of Edward Victim, wno chances to be on the throne in London. These monarchs are not worrying real nmerl- cans at all If the people over whom they rule like that sort of thing, there will bc no objection from this o,,aI,er. Chicago Chronicle

than there was a generation ago. What will be the outcome? MT. Root does not undertake to say. Neither he no" any other statesman is able to forniu- late Q plan for the betterment Of 'he negro's condition which will be satis- factory to the south. Patriotic demo- crats and republicans alike are at loss for q solution of the problem. Senator Morgan's plan for the removal of the negroes to some of our island posses sions is rot practicable, for the negro is free man and is attached to the land of his birth. In short, he refuses and will refuse to leave the southern states.
 No mere vexatious problem conf-onts the American people today than that of settling the negro question" on a basis of fairness equally to the white race and the black race, and no ques tion of internal policy is so fraught with grave possibilities for the future.

Fe and the Missouri Pacific will go into feeders and new lines and into cut-offs and equipment. Much of the Santa Fe new work will be done in Oklahoma One cutoff is planned to shorten the line between Chicago ana San Francisco about 200 miles.
 On the other roads, as well as on those mentioned specifically, great sums will go into additional equipment. Thousands of freight cars of all kinds are under order by the roads, ana old locomotives are giving way 10 eXpe-- slve ones of modern types. The replac- ing of old light rails by heavier ones is general and the rail mills as well as the car fourdries have work for months ahead.
 In Canada it is estimated that some $160, 100000 are to be spent for better rnents to roads and to new construc- tion by the Grand Trunk, which has planned new line to the Pacific coast.

It is the custom in Arizona to desig :, nate each legislature by a peculiar patronymic. What name shall be given to the present legislature has not been ''Vicarious Twenty-second" would be appropriate should Colonel Wilson carry out his programme and do all the legislating for that body. The only trouble about the suggestion is the fact that numerous members are becoming discontented with the dubious honor of having the statesman from Yavapai in the drivers seat. and there are de- cided indications of a revolt ana a declaration of independence.

One of the projected concessions for the Worlds Fair is a village of the last of the ancient Pueblo Indians CT New Mexico, the lineal descendants of the interesting cliff dwellers of the prehis- toric times on this continent. Although of pure Toltec strain, the San Juan Pueblos are blanket Indians, but they lend to this primitive dress an air of gaiety and rude splendor that charac- terized t!?e Axtccs of the time of Cor tez. Their blankets and head dresses are emblazoned with patterns of gayiy colored beads and silver ornaments or their own smithing, which set off their costumes with more or less effect. The.' have their own mission schools, COZ ducted by Catholic missionaries, an;t arc a really intelligent and fairly well educated race. They manufacture a kind of pottery. something similar to the celebrated ware of the Zuni h. dians. and are a strictly agricultural people. A surival of ancient Actec days is their national dance, Los Matchincs.'

Disraci and Gladstone rarely spoke over an hour on the most serious themes. The mover of the house Of commons resolution rcferl ed 70 de- clarcd that a parliamentarian should be able to present his argument on any subject in an hour.
 The American congress has not been outdone by the British parliament in the output of lengthy speeches. In this headlong age a terse and concise state paper or public address has a decided advantage over such an amazing eff fort as that Of Governor White of West Virginia. The Pail Mall Gazette. com menting some years ago upon the old time speeches in parliament, said that our British forefathers had an institu- tion known as the full dress debate which they used with unsparing copi- ousness." Governor Whites formidable Cutgivings belong to that slow era, and are out of place in the electric rapid transit age.-New York Times.

Protected Railroad Betterments.

The magnitude of the railroad busi- ness of this country could be no more clearly shown than in the statement that in the current year nearly $2I0,- 0OO. 900 will be appropriated for better ments. It is well within the memory of many when the capital stock of all the existing railroads was less than this great sum. The total is based on the estimates of many different roads. as reported to the various boards of di- rectors, and on the final cost of im- provements already under way
 according to the New York Sun, the amounts to be expended by the indi- vidual roads, as estimated or appor- toned, are shown in the following ta- ble:

It is not intended to eXpend all this money during the present year. In many cases the improvements planned are so vast that many. years will eiapsc before their completion, as in the case of the Pennsylvania tunnel and ter minal Improvements But the eXpendi- lures have been authorized and steps taken to get the work under way In practically every case.
 In importance of plans the Pcnnsyi- vania road easily ranks first. In ad- dition to the work to be done In New York. some s6O0o,O 600 will be spent in Pittsburg, and 8, 5,00O, 900 has been set aside for the new ste tion in Washing ton. The elevation of tracks, Philadei- phia terminals and the Trenton bridge will cali for at least s6,OOO,OOO.
 It has been estimated that the plans of the New York Central termina, changes in eNw York will call TOT about s25, ,0o0 GOO Of the amount stated in the table. The balance will be expended on improvements of various kinds on tho main lines. including the abolition of grade crossings.
 The Wabash will use it's funds to fight its way to the Atlantic seaboard. It has a costly task on it's hands in it's attempt to get into PittsbuIg. and be- sides this it has many miles of new construction to carry out. The atten- ton of the railroad world is pretty well centered on Wabash just now. on sc- count of it's seaboard aspirations, and | 1t is believed that it will take many additional millions to win it's fight ! The Frisco is planning expenditures along lines similar to those of the Wa bash; that is, it's funds will go largely into new construction. It has ar- nounccd it's intention of securing a footing in New Orleans. probably through a new line from it's present terminus at Memphis, and has planned big terminals in the Crescent City.
