You hear a great deal about the
Inside Inn in connection with the
Worlds fair. We put these por-
ton of the time on occasion of our
recent trip, and were quite COM
fortably situated. It is a pleasant
little tavern about as big as
the whole fair grounds at Lam
caster and is constructed of
lath, scantling, jute, bagging, wall
paper and paint, and is very sub
stantial. A heavy man can climb
all over it. We saw three bell boys
carrying the bill for a nights lodg-
ing up to the fourth floor and the
beams didn't say much. The
management is careful though. It
puts all new guests on the ground
floor.
After they have paid their bill
for the first day they put them on
the second floor. BY the time man
has paid his bill for two days he
is light enough to go up on the
third floor with safety. When he
has stayed a week they have to
put weights in his pockets in order
to prevent him from shooting up
through the roof. We got in the
Inn at a. m. and there were ninety
SIX in line. When we got to the
clerk he turned us upside down and
shook us. Then he counted what
fell out of our pockets, told us to
register and handed us a blue ticket
for boy. sYou have enough
money FIR four days, " hesald. "Go
to the cashier and settle. Our room
was No. 5, Alb, three blocks from
the public square and mile south
of the buffet. When | got my
receipt and my bell boy sat down
and waited an hour for. a street
car. But they finally told me there
wasn't line in the whole place
not even a hack line. We had to
walk all the way to our room
wore out two bell boys on the way,
but there were plenty more. There
are more bell boys than guests in
the Inside Inn. They use 'em for
chance. When you give the clerk
S. for your room he hands you back
50 and a bell boy. Our room was
situated quite distance away from
the hash dispensary, but we made
it nicely. Started for supper at 9
a. m. and stopped for dinner with a
friend who lived in room No. 2,5O7.
Another partner of ours was up
against it however. He was IN No.
7,649, and got two days behind with
his meals living out in the country
at the rear end of the hotel. Final
ly he discovered that he was nearer
to Moberly, Mo-, than he was to the
dining room, SO now he walks over
to Moberly every morning. The
Inn is fine place though. They
treat you right and put forth every
effort to make you feel at home. I
wanted the clerk to go out and play
a game of bottle pool with me one
morning and he said he would just
as soon as he had LA guef is taken
care of, but when he got through
with them there were 119 more
waiting, SO we had to give him up.
He didn't remember us the next
morning until we told him our
name, and we wondered why that
was.

THERE is no cheaper demagogism than
unjustifiable attacks upon railway cor
porations, whose prosperity is ever only
on par with that of the sections through
which they traverse. Railway charges
within proper limits possibly should be
regulated, and the corporations should
not be permitted to escape full share
of the burdens Of government, but to
single them out for special attack and
arouse prejudice against them is the
work of the demagogue, and the reaction
in public sentiment thereby occasioned
most unfortunate The state is as much
concerned in the prosperity Of the rail
ways as in that of any other interest,
and no more or less. and the attempt for
political purposes to promote other in
terests at the expense of the railways by
subjecting them to restricting and dis
eliminating legislation is manifestly un-
just and can never succeed for long, and
will as surely be followed by harmful
public reaction under which abuses may
be permitted to exist to the injustice of
other interests. Absolute fairness is the
only safe and proper course for the state
to pursue in dealing with the railways,
and this can never be had under Gov.
La Toilette, whose political supremacy is
dependent upon prejudice, and the
arousing Of class luminosity. Waukesha
Democrat.

ONE Of the cases of general interest ia
which Hon. Z. K. Luse, candidate for
the Supreme court, has recently been
engaged is the Ohio Coal Company
against the Receivers of the Wisconsin
Central. This case was begun in the
circuit court for Ashland county, and
was removed by the defendants to the
Federal court. It's object was to recover
damages for switching charge Of two
dollars car collected by the receivers
when operating a leased track along the
bay front at Ashland. The charge was
levied on the cars switched for the coal
company alone. The first trial of the
case resulted IN a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, but this was set aside and a
new trial ordered by Judge Bum, on
the theory that the receivers could dis
criminate on a leased track. On the
second trial the Judge directed verdict
taken to the Court of Appeals at Chica-
go, where the receivers were held liable
and new trial ordered. The third trial
of the case has just resulted in verdict
for almost $4,000 in favor Of Mr.. Luse's
client. A person who is being discrim-
mated against by railroad has his rem
edy in the courts and this case has done
much to establish this remedy. Justice
was slow because of the peculiar circum-
stances of the case, but the liability Of
railroads for discrimination on leased
lines as we'll as lines owned by them, is
firmly established by this case.

THE unusually high price of cotton
and the ease with which the crop can be
manipulated by spectators to their own
advantage and tho detriment of the
manufacturers of cotton goods is caus-
ing a general uneasiness not only on the
part of cotton manufacturers, but of
those nations also who ara largely en-
gagged in the manufacture of cotton pro-
ducts. Great Britain and Germany are
especially exercised over this matter be-
cause both tnose countries are large
manufacturers of cotton products and
are consequently interested in obtaining
a full and constant supply of raw cotton
for their manufacturers. Africa is the
country toward which both are turning
their gaze as the most promising field
where the desired end may best be at
tanned. The climate is right, the soil is
good, and the area of desirable land is
virtually unlimited.

CHICAGO has been outdone in big

occurred in an age of FIRE proof steel and

IT almost seems incredible that it should
happen.
