An Obstacle to Piety.

A story told by a western Con
Kressman 10 about two brothers, Ed.
and Jim, who dealtln wool at their
home IN Iowa. Jim went to q
revival meeting. (unthinkingly the
Congressman says) and .tgot re
ligion.'' In the first burst OF en-
,husiasm he told his brother Of
how much better be felt since his
conversion and urged Ed to come
into the fold. The latter pondered
gravely for a time and then said:
can't any doubt but what re.
liglon's good thing, and Pm
glad you've got it, Jim, but guess
you better let me alone just now
he continued refectlyely. "You see,
Jim, one of us has got to weigh
the wool.''

RATE WAR WILL NOT SPREAD.
President stickney Says other Com
modities Will Not be Affected.

Chicago, April 8. - A. B. Stickney.
president of the Chicago Great West
ern road, in speaking of the western
grain rate war, settlement OF which
now seems farther off than ever, said:
There ds practically no danger that
the grain rate war will spread to other
commodities. 1t would cost too much
money. The northwestern, Rock Island.
Burlington and other lines are nov
paying a heavy price for the privilege
of carrying grain They will not pro-
ceed to dissipate their revenues further
by paying for the privilege of carrying
other freight.
This controversy represents merely
the working out of a natural law. Il
was not natural, for instance, that the
Northwestern should carry grain from
a Nebraska point 900 miles from Chi-
cago at 25 cents per hundred pounds
and charge 21 cents from Omaha 20
Chicago, 500 miles. Naturally, the rate
from Omaha should be five ninths Of
the rate from point 900 miles away.
.sThe Great Western may or may not
build into Sioux City presently. It all
depends on whether we can do all we
want to do. AS to Denver. the Great
Western is not going out there vet and
perhaps not at all. 1t is again Ques-
ton of ability, and, the further Ques-s
ton whether the Nebraska business is
rot already pretty well served. There
is no immediate adjustment OF these
things in sight.

Abdication in 1s7o-Lived in oueenIy
Masnificence.

Paris, April 9.-Ex- Queen isabella OF
Spain. grandmother of King Alfonso,
died this morning OF influenza with
complications.
The queen had been afflicted with
grippe for two months, which gradual
ly affected her lungs. Last night she
became unconscious and the death ag-
.ony began at seven this morning. The
three infantas and Prince Ferdinand,
of Bavaria, husband of Infanta Marie,
were summoned to the bedside but the
dying queen did not recognize them. It
is understood King Alfonso will not
come to France for the funeral, as he
did not come for the funeral OF his
grandfather, King Francis, who died
in 1902. The deceased queen has been
one Of the conspicuous figures in Paris
since she left Spain. After her abdi-
cation in 1870, she continued to live
with queenly magnificence here, giving
largely to charitable and religious
works.

MUST STAY OUT
Uncle Sam Will Continue to Enforce
Chinese Exclusion Act After Lapse
Of the Treaty Regardless Of china's
Protest.

Washington. April 9.-In the cabinet
meetings and In conferences directly
between the executive heads of depart
sments. the whole subject Of the status
of Chinese, the Immigration question
as it will be after the lapse of the ex-
listing treaty, has been thoroughly di-
gested and it can be stated the admin
istration feels it has ample warrant for
continuing to enforce the provisions Of
the Chinese exclusion act of 1892, re-
gardless OF the denunciation OF the
treaty. Lapse Of the treaty will, 1t is
said, actually render entrance Of the
Chinese into this country more diff
cult than while the treaty remained in
force. This fact has been pointed out
to the Chinese government by Minister
Conger. who has not yet abandoned the
effort to induce the Chinese government
to reconsider their denunciation. How
ever it is positively stated, the ex-
clusion laws will continue to be EN- :
forced after December next, whether
the treaty expires or not.

"Hest Citizen" to Blame.
TWashington Post. I

1t has long been the habit of many
thousands of the so-called best cdtt-
zens" to abstain from voting on nearly
all occasions. This neglect is especial
ly prominent in municipal elections and
is the chief obstacle to reform DIN the
government of cities. It is highly im-1
probable that in any American city tho
corrupt rings and gangs that so often
rule and rob them could achieve any
success If their designs were not pro-
moted by this abstention. Even tn Phil-
adelphia, the worst governed and most
outrageously plundered of all cities, the
infallible and indispensable ally OF the
dominating rIngsters Is that perntcioue
excess of stilted and serene respectabit-
ity which stands aside, with its nose
in the air, while the bosses plan and
execute. thru packed conventions ana
corrupt ballot their schemes Of spoA-
alton.
