MILES of CARS ron CROPS.
An Agreeable Task for Managers of
transportation Lines.


The American farmer is a very prosper
Gus individual, according TO railroad statis-
ticians. who have figured that the grain
trafhc for this crop year will aggregate
10000 carloads. II all this grain could be
hauled in a single train OF freight cars the
train would be 1881 miles long, exclusive
of the locomotives that would be needed
to move 1t.
Dividing this into trains of forty cars
each there would be required 1880 loco
motives, or S55 miles OF draught machinery.
Adding this S55 miles to the a. ss1 miles Of
cars there is total OF 1925 miles.
To hold the cars and engines would
require nearly every foot OF four tracks
extending from New York to San Fran
cisco. The necessary single track would
measure half the circumference OF the
globe
These fgures do not fully indicate the
vastness of the wealth which the American
farmer has taken from his land in corn,
oats, wheat, barley and rye this year The
railroad mems estimates are confined TO
the grain which will be moved to market
centers on the steam roads. Probably
not more than a third Of the grain pro-
duced will ever see a freight car. The
other two-thirds Will be hauled to local
mus IN hdboAs VI bc Igloulileu ny live
stock on the farms. To hold the corn cror
alone would call for train 1900 miles in
length.
In this statement OF agricultural treasure
lies the reason for the unparalleled prepa.
rations OF Western railroads for trafnC
this season. II the farmer were not already
we'll supplied with ready money and were
forced to rush his grain 10 market as he
has done in past years, Il is reasonable tC
suppose the railroads would be swampec
with grain trafic.
The statisticlans estimate the wheat and
oats crops OF Minnesota and the Dakotai
at S26 1900 bushels. OF which 100. 900 0O
bushels will be marketed on steam roads
They place the yield OF corn at 2,b66. 900 90
bushels, and expect that 100000 bushels
will be hauled on freight trains greater Of
less distances.
Granting that these figures are correct
there will be 1900 carloads OF wheat and
oats from the three states mentioned. o.
4.s25 trains OF forty cars each.
The estimate for corn is $4,000 carloads
OF 800 trainloads OF forty cars each. o.
top OF this will probably be 1900 carload
/ OF haxseed 70 be hauled from the North
| west.
To haul the 100000 cars for all kinds o
grain would mean a movement Of a hun
dred trains OF forty cars each every day o
! the year.

WHISKY VERSUS BITrERs.
New Internal Revenue Ruling as n
Revenue Producer.
New York Timas

Mr. Yerkes, the commissioner OF internal
revenue, has much to answer for. His
order that whisky shall hencefortb be
described and taxed such strikes a blow
at the social organization of many sections
of our common country. He has laid II
down, contrary to a venerable and musty
ruling of his department, that so-called
patent medicines composed largely of dis
titled liquors" shall, in effect, be regarded
as alcoholic beverages, that the manufac-
turers of the same shall be compelled to
take out licenses as distillers and liquor
dealers, and the sellers of the same, how
ever much they may call themselves drug
gists, and pharmacists" thereto, shall be
compelled to take out licenses as retail
liquor dealers. "The same ruling" adds the
ruthless commissioner, "apples to every
alcoholic compound labeled as a remedy
for disease, and containing, in addition to
distilled spirits, only substances or ingred-
tents which, however large their quantity,
are not Of q character to impart any medi-
cinal quality to the compound"
It is all very well for the wild-eyed
Yerkes to pretend that he is only endeavor-
Ing to get it's due for the government. What
he is really doing is to undermine the
social fabric There is no doubt about the
facts. An esteemed contemporary has been
testing for alcohol some of the "bitters"
in chief demand in pietistc and malarial
regions by the process OF combustion, and
finding that one of them burned four min
utes, another two minutes and forty sec
onds. and another two minutes and thirty
seconds. while the beer" hated and ex-
eorated of the Women's Christian Temper
ance union, had only enough alcohol to
burn for twenty seconds. Chemical analysis
indicates the same thing. A popular bit
ters" contains 45 per cent Of alcohol. and
many others 25 Yet many a deacon in
our land who TRANQUILITY ingests these bev-
erages would not on any account be seen
drinking a glass OF claret which contains
even when it's asperities are not mltigated
by seltzer, but per cent Of the accursed
thing.

REFORM IN PHILADELPHIA.

The movement for good government in
Philadelphia has made such progress
that there is every reason to expect that
it will be successful. 1t is an admitted
fact that for years the administration of
affairs in that city has been marked Ly
systematic corruption and methods
which had a most demoralizing effect.
Graft Of the most INSCRIPTIONS kind has
prevailed and the politicians who have
been in control have shown utter indif-
ference to the interests and welfare of
the people. their only concern being to
intrench themselves in power and get all
they could out Of it.
Against this state Of affairs a cam
paign is being waged that promises to
bring about the overthrow of the men
who are responsible for the unfortunate
condition. Mayor Weaver is leading the
fight for reform and has already done a
great deal In the interest of better gov
ernment. He is receiving the active
and earnest support OF the newspapers,
with one or two exceptions, and of in
fiuenial republicans. The Philadelphia
Press, leading republican paper, says:
with the mayors rare leadership with
the popular seorn of the public betrayers,
with the transcendent interest OF all hon
est citizens In crushing the deadly
schemes Of spollation, with thoroughly
organized house to house work, and with
the incalculable power Of great pOpu-
lar uprising. we shall wage such a battle
as the city has never seen, and we are
bound to win" The entire country takes
an interest in this municipal contest and
will be gratifed If the friends OF good
government in Philadelphia shall tri.
umph in the coming election.

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES,

The primary has determined the make
up of the republican county ticket and
republicans now know with what lineup
of candidates they enter the contest in
Douglas county that is to be determined
by the election in November,
The returns show that the regular re-
publican organization has now, as it has
had for many years, the support Of a
large majority Of the rank and file Of
the party. The opposition, which enjoys
going under the name of "antis," would
be hopelessly shut out from top to bot
tom except for an occasional opportunity
to take advantage Of division among the
forces Of the regular organization.
This Is the explanation Of the capture
by the Fontanelle slatemakers Of the
two most important places on the ticket,
namely, the sheriff and the county Judge.
While John Mcdonald has a small plu-
rality over Fred II. Hoye, he is a minor
ity nominee, saved only by the third
candidacy Of Tony Donahoe.
The same is true to an even greater
extent with reference to Charles Leslie,
the successful candidate for county
Judge. While In round figures 1000 re-
publican voters have expressed pref
erence for Mr. Leslie as their candidate,
more than $500 republican voters have
expressed themselves against him. The
Bee believes that in this instance in par
ticular a weak candidate has been
chosen and that the ticket would have
been greatly strengthened had Charles
w. Haller been the nominee.
Incidentally, there are several points
in which republicans have a right to
congratulate themselves over the out
come, among them the choice of Herman
Beal for county surveyor, E. F. Bradley
for coroner, w. G. Ure for commissioner
and Bryce Crawford for police judge, to-
gether with uncontested nominations of
Robert o. Fink for treasurer and e. G.
Solomon for county commissioner.
The confidence Of the rank and file of
the party in the regular republican or
ganization is again manifested in its con
tinuation in the control Of the machinery
Of the party with a majority over the
'antis'' in the county committee again
of nearly two to one.
The Bee will have more to say about
the ticket and the nominations aS the
campaign progresses.

OF the Dominion and undoubtedly there
is good ground for the claim.
The situation is interesting from the
fact that there is involved in It pos
sible controversy between our govern
ment and Canada. There is a well de-
fined treaty arrangement in regard to the
dividing line in the lake, so that I'm re-
spect to this there can be no issue raised,
but the question as TO whether the Amer
lean vessels were trespassers may easily
cause some trouble. The captain of one
Of the vessels fred on asserts that he
was not over the line and If he can es-
tabnsh this our government will GER
tainly demand and insist upon repara-
ton. 1t is reported that the matter will
be called by our government to the at
tention Of the government Of Great
Britain and undoubtedly will be thor
oughly investigated. 1t is not a matter
Of very serious import but it suggests
that it might be good policy to change
the existing arrangement, so as to OBJ
viate trouble in the future.

In his annual report Brigadier General
Grant, commanding the Department OF the

general: These depraved creatures and
lewd women use every device in their power
TO induce the soldiers to patronize their
brothels, where those who yield to tempta-
tion are frequently drugged and robbed. 1t
