Great Western Puts in $3.50
Rate to Dubuque and Com.

Inc Great Western yesterday morn
ing announced a rate of $3.50 to Du-
buque, Iowa, and return, good Satur-
day, and returning, good until Monday.
The rate is for the Eagles return base

buque
The announcement, which appeared
routine on it's face, was received with
something ike excitement by the Of
feefs of the other st. Paul railroads.
especially those of the Burlington and
Milwaukee,, which are competitive
roads between here and Dubuque
According to the agreement which
was made by the executive officers of
all the roads about two weeks ago in
Chicago, al the passenger and freight
tariffs were to be protected rigidly and
no such thing as reduced rates and free
passes were to be given on account of
party business. In other words. that
the same rate was to apply to 200 pas
sengers as would apply to two
The order, according to numerous Of
1lclals who received copies of it, was
very sweeping in its terms and covered
all classes of railroad traffic.
The officers of the Chicago Great
western made no explanation of the
low rate to Dubuque and "stood nat"
on the proposition.
The other roads, however. were not
SO complacent. Said the representa-
tive of one of the competing roads
This railroad chopped off on it's
subtariff contracts the date the order
went into effect, Sept. II, but there is
no telling what will happen as a re-
suit of this cut on the part of the
Great Western. The business of the
Eagles excursion was offered to this
road as late as Wednesday night. so
the road that got the business cannot
In honesty claim that it was contracted
for prior to the enactment of the order
from Chicago.
How on earth the Great Western
! could rpake such rate is inexplicable.
The regular tariff one way is $3.50 and
the round trip would be $14.50. If the
excursion rate had been made $9.75,
which would have been a fare and one
third, might be able to understand it.
But how on earth can they figure out
$3.50 as a round trip rate?
This cut may mean the abondon-
ment of the Chicago agreement and
possibly decentralization of rates"
The rate will probably be met

THE PROPER POLICY

1t would seem that the policy finally
agreed upon to give relief to sufferers
from the great storm is the best. 1t
will answer every demand of need
without inviting any legal controversy
or setting precedent that might have
unfortunate future consequences.
The committee has decided to secure
a loan of $10,0 600 from one Of the banks,
the members pledging their own credit
as security and drawing upon the con-
tingent fund of 1905 for repayment.
This is proper plan. We believe thor
oughly that every case. of real suffer
ing from the storm should be relieved,
and that the community owes this as a
duty to such of its members as have
been unfortunate. We believe that this
should be done without opening any
breaches in the law or custom of the
city through which appropriations
might drive in the future for less
worthy objects.
The present plan avoids this. Relief
will be given. The money will be Sc
cured and paid out where it is de-
served. No fund will be drawn upon
contrary to law. In a due and regular
way the money will be appropriated
and collected within the. provisions of
the charter, and no legal question can
arise. Individuals who put their credit
in pledge will certainly be reimbursed
by the city. At the same time the pub
lie will practically pass upon the whole
matter through the approval of their
representatives. We regard the policy
and the method of carrying it into eff
feet as thoroughly wise and satisfac-
tory.

GOES AGAINST THE
THEORY OF DARWIN
Dutch Scientist Advances New Idea
as to Heredity

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept 22.-Great in
terest has been aroused in the interna-
tional congress of arts and science by
the theory advanced by Prof Hugo de
Vries, professor of botany in the uni
yersity of Amsterdam, Holland, who,
combating DarWin's theory of the
origin of species, advanced theory of
his own in diametrical opposition to
all ideas of former and present biolo-
gists and phylogenists. Prof. de yries
asserts that no two of the same species
of animals from the lowest stages to
man are alike in any important partic-
ular.
He claims that the distinguishing
feature or element of an individual is
not transmitted to the offspring of
that individual, which in the theory of
Darwin represents the main principles
and who claims that by heredity pass
ing from generation to generation, the
peculiarities of the primogenitor finally
result in a new species. Prof. de Vries
denies this and offered proof before. the
scientists that an entirely new species
may be developed within one or two
generations.

is second only to selling your vote at
the general election for money. 1t is
like repudiating some member of your
family in favor of stranger Many
men have done it thoughtlessly in a
sportive way, or out of good fellowship
when solicited by some anxious candi-
date as personal favor. They should
be thoughtless no longer. They should
understand that they cannot do this
thing without disgrace
Pack of primaries and every other
law stands the man. If he is gov
erned by the strictest and incest
sense Of honorable dealing and of what
his own reputation demands, all win
go well. We hold up to utter reproba-
ton the notion, SO generally diffused
and heretofore so little condemned,
that there can be confusion Of party
faith at the primaries without dishonor.
Every man who, for whatever reason,
intending to vote with one party at the
general election, votes with the other
at the primary, sails under false eolors
and stains deeply his good faith. Let
there be an end of it among decent
and honorable men.

A NEWS CENSOR

"The Pioneer Press does not regard
the publication of charges, some of
which are absolutely false and some
apparently willfuIly distorted but all
confessedly made for political pur-
poses, as news, and does not believe it
serves the public in giving circulation
to falsehood" This anent Its refusal
to publish Examiner Johnson's report
and it's irritation because the public
gives 7 h e G lob credit for being a
newspaper.
We still think that the American
reading public is a trif1e sensitive
about news censorship. This above
position is as arbitrary as ever was
asserted by Russia itself The ques-
ton is begged and the whole position
given away by the use of the word
efalsehood'' If is applied ia this con-
nection to the report of a high official
of state in his official capacity.
No decent newspaper willfuly pub
fishes what it knows to be a falsehood.
Every newspaper in the world does
publish falsehoods every day, because
they come in the course of legitimate
news and are not false on their face.
The verify of news matter is sifted by
discussion and investigation and it is a
part of the newspapers business to do
this
OF course any newspaper is at lib
erty to exclude anything it pleases
from it's columns by calling it a false
hood" Equally of course it does this
at its peril. 1t amounts to the estab-
lishment, as we have said, of a news
censorship; since anything whatever
may be arbitrarily put into the false
hood class and excluded under that
plea. Certainly if a public document
of the highest interest is so classified
beforesit has been Investigated or de-
MED. a presidents message might meet
the same fate with equal propriety.
We have not the slightest quarrel
with our contemporary custom if it
is satisfactory to itself; but are rather
glad, on the contrary, to have it set
before the people on it's own authority
1t is not The Clio b es custom to
suppress news that does not suit it by
claiming that it is "falsehood' and
never will be. Until the falsehood ap-
pears, or unless it is obvious on its
face. that remains for the public to
decide. The Glob will be delighted
to be judged as a newspaper, and to
have it's contemporary judged by the
standard expressed in the matter which
we have quoted above.

FRIDAY. SEPT. %, 1904.
HARMONY IN NEW YORK

The action of the New York state
convention fills out the harmony bill.
All sorts of rumors had been set in
circulation regarding the irreconcil-
able differences of leaders which the
Republican party hoped to see mate
rialize. 1t was stated that Hill and
McCarren We're pulling each others
hair, that neither had regard for the
wishes of Judge Parker and that a
candidate would be forced upon the
party in the interest of one or the other
over the head of the presidential NOM
inee. This is in line with the rest of
the stuff that the administration or
gans have been putting out, and the
event furnishes it's sufficient denial
THE New York convention, domi-
mated by complete harmony, put in
nomination a splendid ticket headed
by d. Cady Herrick, now justice of
the state supreme court Judge Her
rick is familiar figure in public life
He is a man of splendid ability and
character and every element in the
convention fell into line behind him
with enthusiasm. If anything We're
needed to assure the vote of New York
state for the Democratic party this
fall, it would be thus supplied The
stare has puts forward its very best
timber for all the offices within the
ludicrous incongruity in placing a man
like Mr.. Herrick over against a man
like Higgins, the mere mouthpiece and
servitor of Gov Odell.
1t is not only the immense personal
popularity and the splendidly high
character and abilities of men like
Parker and Herrick that insure a great
Democratic majority in New York, but
also the public revolt against the low
and sordid domination of Odell. He is
boss even more thoroughly hated by
men of independent character and high
ed. Holding the office of governor of
the whole people, he has not hesitated
to act also as chairman of the Repub-
lican state machine. This is defiance
of political deeency rare anywhere, and
open to rebuke in state less intelli-
gent and sensitive to such things than
New York.
Judge Herrick opened his campaign
Immediately with an address in which
he demonstrated the largeness of his
mind. the catholicity of his judgment
and his earnest desire for party sue
cess in the interest of the whole peo-
pie. The Democratic prospect in New
York state has been changed from one
of cheer to one Of certainty. The fear
OF national discord that has been pres
ent in SO many Democratic hearts is
dispelled. The New York Democracy
are united as one man, and thus they
set an example and give an assurance
of triumph to Democrats everywhere.

far the most complete and accurate
returns on local elections to be had in
the Northwest -
We dislike to disturb such COM
placency, but it seems in order in this
connection to inform the public that
the Pioneer Press has no machinery of
its own whatever for collecting local
election returns. These have been
gathered for some years by the City
Press association. The members of
this body are The G o b e, the Pho
neer Press, the Dispatch and the News.
Each of these pays its equal share for
The same men are used for the work
and the same reports are delivered to
ing, under these circumstances, to find
any paper claiming credit for gather
ing local news returns, any more than
for publishing the Associated Press
reports; which are gathered, paid for
and published in exactly the same way.
1t follows as a matter of course that
every report in possession of one morn
ing paper was in possession of the
other Also and that they were delivered
pers unless bad faith was practiced,
which T h e Gil be does not believe.
| 1t thinks that the fact that it was
able to issue six o'clock edition con-
| tanning the news put out by its con-
| temporary an hour later was due to
superior activity and enterprise in put

| it on the street, and not to any other
advantage. T he G 10 b e decided days
before the primaries were held that it
| would neither waste good paper and

body except the candidates themselves

| cinct return from a primary election.
| They are simply confusing and cum

know. and all that it wants to know, is

LET'S CHINESE IN
WITH MORE EASE
This Is Expected to Be the Effect of
Decision at Portland, Or.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 22.-By rul-
ing of United States Commissioner E.
A. Mckee, the first statement of a
Chlnese taken after his arrest for be-
ing Illegally within the boundaries of
the United States before the Chinese
inspector or any inspector cannot be
used by the government as evidence
against the Oriental. The decision was
made during the hearing of the case of
Dong Sam, held for deportation. The
decision will have the effect of making
admission to this country easy for a
large number of Chinese. as the gov
eminent has frequently hitherto relied
on this evidence to secure deportation.
II having been found that the Chinese
are more likely to tell the truth i'm
mediately after arrest than after they
their countrymen.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. "a
Acting Commissioner General of I'm
migration Larned said today, that the
Portland decision would not affect the
question of the admission of Chinese
into the United States one way or the
other, as that is confined to the de-
cision of the executive officers In the
case of Dong Sam, he said, the issue
presented was whether the Chinaman
could reside in this country, which is a
question for the courts to pass on and
primarily United States commits
sioner.
This decision he said, "evidently
proceeds upon the assumption, which
has been repeatedly negatived by the
courts, that a proceeding for an in
quiry as to the right of a Chinaman to
be in the United States is criminal
one. AS such is not the case, the de-
cision not to exclude the testimony
given by the prisoner before the exec
utive officers seems to be one of doubt
full validity. AT all events, the action
of the commissioner is binding upon no
one except in this particular case. I'm
til the decision has been affirmed by
court of competent jurisdiction it can
not possibly affect the entrance of
Chinese into the United States"
