4 BIASED REVIEW.

The Union counts New Mexico. Ari-
zona and Oklahoma among the states
having no railway commissions. In
fact thirds of the states in the
southern state is in this list. Most of
the states cited by the Union rs hav
ing no commission are mountain states
an which the agricultural industry is
poorly developed. Great agricultural
states like Iowa. Minnesota, Missouri,
Illinois. California and Texas. have
railway commissions.
In its reports on the workings of
such commissions the morning paper
fails TO quote anything from Governor
Van SAINT of Minnesota or from Gov
ernor Cummins of Iowa. 1t also stu
from the message of Governor La
Toilette to the Wisconsin legislature
urging the enactment of a commission
law
The Union started out on its inves-
LEGATIONS with a promise to be candid
and fair, but. on the contrary. it, has
given prominence to adverse reports
from states like Colorado. where the
commission has been made a farce
through railroad manipulation. while
il suppresses the facts in favor of a
commission that might be gathered
from Iowa, Minnesota. Texas, Georgia.
Missouri and other states where
the railroad Hobbies are not supreme.

ON MR.. WILLIAMS SPEECH.

The democratic leader in the house
gives us real JOY, says Golfers Weekly.
What American politician since Lin

of expressing his opinion? Mr.. Will

are seasoned with spicy humor of a
strictly American brand. Seriousness
ing against the resurrection of the cur
rency question. in favor of the theory
that issues are made by conditions and

of ratio is concerned, l believe God in
His wisdom. fixed for silver and gold
the same law that rules with respect
to the price of cotton, Or corn. a bal
let dancer, or an opera singer-the law
of supply and demand" He added, with
rare and charming frankness and
good humor. that the more he read of
history the more he believed the con-
.federate states were right in their in
depreciation of the which
was no reason for fighting the civil
war again, or .brOoding over a. differ
ence which had become obsolete. His
closer arguments are admirable for
cogency and clearness, but what givas
them their charm is the infusion OF
such Illustrations as he made the
other day in debate: THE claim that
the republican party is responsible for
the prosperity, which the gentleman
leaves to be inferred. reminds me of an
old Lincoln story. a woodpecker sat
on the top of a tree, and he pecked and
pecked and pecked. until a strong wind
came along and blew the tree and the
Woodpecker to the ground. That wood
pecker believes to this way he pecked
the tree down" He is not a pitileSS
story teller. On the contrary, his hu-
NOR and his anecdotes come in only
to support the position which he has
assumed. and we have not noticed any
instance of mere testing apart from the
purposes for which legislatures are as

Quate water supply. The daily per
capita supply is about nine gallons
only, and the water is said to be of an
inferior quality. Some natural wells
aid in meeting requirements. The
dra image facilities are said to be good.
Considering the characteristics of the
people, their mode of living and their
surroundings, it would not be a mat
ter for surprise if the war should pro-
duce a plague of some kind. The pos
sibility that a death dealing contagiOn
will have its inception there is partic-
ularly imminent in case war should be
prolonged for any considerable length
of time.
The neutral nations may have cause
to dread cOntagion more than ammu-
milton. Their peace may not be dis
turbed, but they may have to protect
the health and lives of their people
against aggravations following the war
or accompanying it. Circumstances are
such that the quarantine regulations
should be enforced with unusual vigor.

Matrimonial Arithmetic.

in his fatherly way, you have a
good deal to learn about matrimonial
arithmetic. AS you say, your salary

YOU clinch the argument when you
add that one and one make two.
That's all right in business, but mat
rimonial arithmetic is one OF the most
confusing things that ever happened.
In the first place. the minister takes
the two of You and makes you one.
That would seem to make 1t easier
for you, but the history OF the world
shows that, figuring matrimonially,
one and one make any old number up

there are records that show a higher
total. In view of this, can you make

Burial of Sir Walter Scott.

Il was a bleak and stormy autumn
day, with an impenetrable gray sky
frowning over a lowering landscape,
when the mile-long funeral process
sion set forth from Abbotsford. With
one common voice of woe the coro-
mach of nation walled over the hills,
the sad gray land being all in keeping
with the nodding of black plumes and
the slow pace of the horses. says
writer in the Book-Lover. The road
traversed on his last long journey
had been one of SCOTS favorite drives,
and the most pathetic incident of all
was the pause of the cortege on the
brow of Bemerside Hill. The horses
that drew his lifeless body were the
carriage horses. and not knowing their
master was dead, they stopped of their
own accord at the spot where Peter
Matheson had always drawn them up,
that Sir Walter, from where he sat,
might look down and enjoy his favor
ite view. Every mourner noticed the
unexpected pause and the eyes OF the
grown men filled with involuntary
tears when they learned the reason.
Thus they buried Sir Walter Scott;
and Caledonia, stern and wild, re-
ceived into her arms her marvellous,
well-loved child.

Once we have outgrown childish

bugbears of her child's life. 1t is
astonishing how silent child may be

his early years; it may have been a

or simply the dark. 1t is mistake to
scold a child for these terrors, which
are very real to the quaking little
