the American cruiser Marblehead.

private information which led him to
take the precaurion OF putting into San

No Intention of Injuring Transconti-

Rates and Rebates.

The declaration of President ShontS
of the Panama Canal Commission, that
no reduction of railroad rates across
the isthmus is in prospect to the detri-
ment of the transcontinental railroad
interests is not considered as finally dis
posing of the entire subject of tariffs

Taft last Wednesday by the diplomatic
representatives of seven South and
Central American republics. requesting
his attention to the prevailing rates
with a view TO revising and lowering
them so as to build up an international
trade with the United States by way of
the isthmus.
The meeting of the Panama Railroad
Company In New York today, at which
Secretary Taft and President Shonts are
IN attendance, is one of the steps pre-
iiminary to a complete discussion of the
whole subject, and the statement of Mr.
shonts before leaving Washington re-

Many Ramihcations.
Taking up the history of the Panama

poly demanding all it could get for hand
ling freight across the forty six miles OF
isthmus, and making Its charges abou,
one-tfird of the entire cost of a caree
from Valparaiso to Liverpool.
RMS practice has driven away what
trade would ordinarily come by the
isthmus and has sent it by water around

Hope for the Despondent.

Drawing lesson from the graft dis closures in various parts of the nation The Butte Inter-Mountain declares that instead of suffering due to lack of some particular experiment in govern ment. the American people are in much more imminent danger of burden from too much government. Not only Is the national government very much alive with an exceptionally vigorous and energetic man at the; head of 1t. but township in the Union has govern ment exclusively and sometimes par ticularly its own. So far from univer- sal ruin are the people that history records no time when they were so generally and so greatly prosperous, and none Is more prosperous in his own ambitious way than the eloquent gentlemen who are furnishing most of the forebodings Of evil. It Is well to have the swindlers exposed and to have the public understand the actual faults of the American people in this imper- feet world. but it. will be as foolish to indulge in a panic or to engage in a revolution on account of individual or official wrongs as 1t would be for the people to follow news of an atrocious murder with a general rush to commit suicide from fear that we are all to be slaughtered in our beds"

HE WANTS TO KNOW.

In one of Dickens's stories there was a character who almost drove the clerks in the Circumlocution office wild bv his continued demand for information. He would come in at all hours with his "I want to know. you know" till the poor clerks, who were employed to carry out the theory of How Not to Do It. looked on him with fear and trembling.
 It appears that some, at least, of the attaches of the Equitable office are be- ginning to have the same opinion of MT. Cleveland. He wants to know too much. and the worrying part of 1t is that he wants to know things that some of them much prefer should remain very dark. They we'll know that to all low the light to shine on all the trans actions of that business will put them in a very shady light before the people especially those who had money in the concern.
 But no one at all acquainted with MT Cleveland should feel surprised at his desire to go to the bottom and get all the facts. He has always been that way, even if the facts should not be favorable to him. and nothing was to be expected in this case but that he should exhibit the same persistency in uncovering unfaithfulness or actual crime that he did when he was Presi- dent. He wants to know. and he will know. unless there has been some ex- ceedingly sharp practice in connection with the discredited concern.
