Rates Are Unreasonable.
Special to The Journal.

The governor declared that he was
not hostile to railroads, and that their
treatment in the matter of land grants
showed liberal spirit of the people
toward such corporations. They must
not forget, however, that they are
creatures Of the state and owe the pub
lie duty. Over capitalization requires
the public to pay dividends, not on the
investment, but on watered stock.
Such rates are exorbitant and unjust.
Governor Van SAINT quoted from a
recent interview given out by O.. G.
Wyman Of Minneapolis, in which he
said that rates to the Pacific coast were
as high from Minneapolis as from n ew
York. In comment the governor said:
| & am pleased to learn the reason given.
That it is on account of water competi-
ton. This explains the opposition OF the
railroad interests to the Improvement Of
cur great waterways, especially the Mis-
sissippi river. Mr.. Hill recently said that
| it had Y''struck twelve for the old river.
He was mistaken. He may have heard the

| undoubtedly sounding the death knell o
his attempted merger of two great
parallel and competing lines of railway III
violation of law. Deep waterways are the
1 greatest conservators of rates possible;

valley are alive to their best interests they
1 will demand in no uncertain terms thai
i the river be improved SO that when the
i Panama canal is completed the traffic
4 tributary thereto will be diverted to its
proper course north and south instead o

MASoNS ELECT OFFICERS

Selma, June 9.-(Speolal.)- 1.-THE police
authorities are seeking high and low for
one Bob" Smith. a negro who escaped
from the city lock up about six months
ago by pushing the turnkey down as the
latter went to hand in supper for the
prisoners. Smith has turned up frequent
ly like the proverbial Dutchman's flea,
but to the chagrin of the officers has
always succeeded in eluding them. Yes
terday afternoon a negro answering his
description was accosted by Officer Nose
ley but before the officer could get
secure hold on him he had jerked away
and was speeding toward Valley Creek.
Officer Philen Joined IN the pursuit and
both officers opened fire but the negro
got away.
It Is supposed that he was Smith or
at least that he was a negro guilty of
some crime or he would not have been
so eager to get away There is a theory
that the negro who was stabbed by a
woman few nights ago and got away
after the doctors had dressed his wounds
was none other than Smith but this is
pure speculation as the negro who was
cut has not been seen since the affair.

James O. Mecurdy IN the Pilgrim for
June.
During the fiscal year. two square-rig-
/ged American steel vessels and ten wood
en- banks and barkentines were built. This
Increase, however, was more than offset
by the dropping Of twenty-four square
ringers as lost, abandoned, dismantled or
sold to aliens.
There are now 800 square-rgged YES
sells flying the Stars and Stripes, ma
jority Of which are owned upon the Pa
cific coast, where vessels of this type are
making their last gallant struggle fdf
existence. Unable to meet the keen com
petition existing on the Atlantic coast
one after another of the New England
square-riggers found their way around
the Horn, and fell into the hands of
western owners.
These old New England vessels are al
most as everlasting as the granite hills
from which was cut the live oak that
entered into their hulls. Upon the Pa
ciflc coast many packets over thirty-five

while others even older are to be met
with occasionally. The most ancient are

She is now engaged in the lumber-carry-

After he had had his little eringe before

loaded 1t on the wagon. Then they drove

he Is not quite so cocky nowadays they

mean, though 1t was only about four
years ago.
"A certain captain, famed for a sensa-

ton One day, 1t was the Fourth of July,
he was showing friend from up the
state around his district The big whole
sale stores of course, were all closed,
but as the captain and his friend passed
one of them they noticed four men with
big truck loading bales of silk on It,
which they were bringing out of the
store It was hard work and the men
seemed to be In hurry. The captains
warm heart opened.
Hello, boys he said working on the
Glorious Fourth?
:" Got to. captain, said one of the four,
for everyone In town knew this partic-
ular police captain. Got special order
for the firm to fill and It's got to go to-
day. Wish 1t was over
~ hate to see you fellows working
so hard said the captain. Maybe ! can
help you a little. Hand me some OF
those rolls of silk as they are passed
out of the store. Here to his friend

80 the four men accepted the captains
aid and that Of his friend, and with 1t
were enabled to pile the truck full In less
than no time. Then they thanked the
good police captain and drove away
Just in time to catch the train as they
said.
Next morning when this store was
opened It was found that on the holiday
1t had been robbed of thousands OF dol
lars worth of fine silk. And the police
captain had helped to do IT.

PROMOTED BY PUNs.
Noted Men Who Got Advancement
Through Their Wit.

From the New York Commercial.
Cannon Melville, who died the other
day in his ninety-second year, owed his
earliest promotion to a pun. When the
late Earl of Dudley, who knew Mr.
Melville sufficiently to remember that
his Christian name was David, had a
living at his disposal he received a
letter containing only the words,
Lord, remember David" The earls
reply was no less terse and scriptural:
Thou art the mani"
Perhaps the earliest instance of &C.
cleiastical promotion won by a pun is
that of a curate named Joseph, who
was prompted by Swift to take this
text for a sermon preached In St Pat
yiceroy, Butler" the Duke of Ormond:
"Yet did not the chic. Butler remember
Joseph, but forgat him"
The Rev. DIR. Mountain, who was the
son of a beggar owed nearly every
step of his successive promotions in
great part to his righteousness, and
won the last step of ell by a single
jset. When he was consulted as bishop
of Durham by George II. as to the fit
test person to fill the vacant archiepis-
copal see of York, he replied: "Sir,
hadst thou faith as a grain of mustard
seed, thou wouldst say to this Noun
tain dramatically striking his breast)
BE thou removed and cast into the
sea (see)." That George II. should
SO understand and appreciate the Joke
as to accept it's suggestion Is perhaps
the strangest part of the story.
Apropos of puns, promotion and the
see of York, here is a good story of a
living given by an archbishop of York
in reward for an impertinent personal
pun. The archbishop, Sir William
Dawes, entertained his clergy to din
ner shortly after the death of his wife,
Mary, who appears to have been a
regular Mrs. Proudie at once to his
grace and to the diocese. At dinner
the archbishop apologized, with a sigh,
for things not being in the apple-pie
order that prevailed when his dear,
dead wife, Mary, was alive Being
himself an inveterate punster, he
added, with sad shake of the head:
"She indeed, was Mare Pacificum!" A
curate who knew too we'll what a tar
tar the deceased lady was, rejoined:
AYE. my lord, but she was first Mare
Mortuum!" and was absolutely and i'm
mediately rewarded by the archbishop
for this impertinent pun with living
of e500 a year
