Railway Rate Discussion.

Why railroad rates must conform to commercial conditions; why no general rate adjustment however skilfully made, could ever adequately provide. even in comparatively small part of the country for numerous and con stantly increasing fluctuations in con- ditions. are among the points set forth in discussion of Railway Rates and Industrial Progress" by Samuel Spen- cer, to appear in the January Century. MT Spencer Is president of the South ern Railway and interested in other railway companies; and writes, of course, from the railway point of view. In the February number of the maga- zine another competent authority will disclss the subject from the standpoint of those who favor an extension of gov ernmental control over railway rates.

Cetters to tbe Gdftor
Accident to MT. smith.

EdltOr The EdVertiSer:
 l have just read your article in to- Car," in which you say MT. Smith, with several of his friends came to Mont gomery on the morning train from Prattville. The party walked up town from the railway station. Mir Smiths eyes are weak and he ran upon the car at the intersection of Bibb and Com merce Street before his friends could draw him aside It is said that the car was moving slowly and that no blame attaches to the motorman.
 think this statement is at variance with the facts. as I understand them I was one of the several of his friends" who came over with him. While I did not see tn car strike him, I did see MT smith after the accident. He says that he was standing talking with a friend when the car struck him and that he did not run upon the car" as you state. but the car ran upon him. Another gentleman. who did not know Mir Smith told me he was an eye witness and that the car ran against MT Smith and that the motorman did not sound his bell or give any note of warning. It is true MT Smiths eyes are weak" but he can see well enough to discover as big thing as a car, and certainly would not run into a car"
 I have no interest in this matter only to see that justice is done a friend, and not to excuse the street railway 1com- pany, when, from evidence gathered at the time, it is to blame. If there is mo blame attached" to the motorman, if the facts are as I heard them at the time, then I am utterly ignorant of the law of the land, and know not the du- ties of motorman.

GETTING WORSE.

The news that comes from Russia is more and more -disquieting1 to all who have hoped for settlement of existing trouble and the establishment of solid and orderly form of government in that unfortunate country. Not the least discouraging report is the rumor that Count Witte is likely to give up the struggle, despairing of accomplishing any good results. For various req sons the civilized world has looked hopefully and confidently to witte as the man to restore order and establish good government. If he rails, it is asked, who can be expected to suc- ceed?
 That conditions over there are criti- cal almost hopeless. Is plain to all who read the reports, It has evidently de- veloped into an open war between the people and what Is left of autOcracy, and it begins to look as if it is to be a war between the people and good gov ernment of any kind. When we re- member how long the people have been ground beneath the iron heel of one of tho most cruel and absolute despot-
 
 surprised If those people ignorant and bitter, should become practically an- archists and seek to overthrow all forms of government and order. ..:
 The Czar's frequent appeals to the peofie apparently make matters worse. Each ukase contains some concession or pledge and they take this as evil dence of cowardice, and as indicating final and complete surrender. They do not attempt to hide their intentions. It is war. and war of the worst kind. a war between what is left of govern ment and a reckless and desperate peo- pie What is to be the end of it all is clearly beyond all human knowl- edge. If the people of Russia were full ly capable of self government we might have hope of an orderly republic. but they are not. If they should succeed in completely downing the Czar and the aristocracy and in establishing a form of government therefts little hope that it would be stable and permanent. In fact, we can see little hope of peace and order in the near future and it is moro than possible that the worst is yet to come.

His latest enemy is the hygenic picture book. This is the invention of London pub fisher. who turns out books with rag pages. carefully sterilized and contain ing pictures of elephants. squirrels. giraffes. humming bfrds--everything in the animal kingdom. fin fact. except the microbe. The microbe. by the way. never has been a popular subject for picture book artists, but he has man. aged to make up for this by being pres- ent in the flesh. Now it's all of. The hygienic picture book, it is said, is so low in price as to be within the reach of all-except, of course, the microbe. No more books for him.

RACE SUICIDE IN BRITAIN.
EnEland's Birth Rate Declining to an
 Alarming Extent,

England's birth rate Is declining. It touched its highest point, since regis- tration began in 1898, in 1878. Today it is at its lowest The children of the most prolific mothers-those of 1S76- are the most unproductive mothers. :hc reason assigned for the frightful decline is the decay of the maternal iEstinct." Only 75 per cent. as many little ones see the light now, or remain in it, as saw it thirty years ago. No one factor. however, can account for the entire falling off.
 The fact is. there are many causes. Notably among the most prominent is the advanced age at which persons marry, and the fact that a great many never marry. Previous to 1876 the marriage rat cwas 16 to 17 1-2 per 1 1,0OO Today it is IS 1-2. The claim made for years by leading economists that popu- lation was supposed to vary with the food supply Is being doubted It fails to hold good in England, for at no time in the past was food SO cheap or so abundant as 1t Is today. .
 Possibly, says one writer. rent. the rates and taxes have more to do with the question than has the price of wheat" TheSaet-of the mater is, the question Is beyond the best men in the Empire It baff1es everybody from the humblest to the highest. Tn the fight for first place that is on, 1t means, or may mean, a great deal to England whether her birth rate is small or large A short crop of little ones in 1905 and in each succeeding year means short crop of men for the army. navy, mills, shops, farms, ships, fac tories and color les of England 25 or 30 wears hence

Great Opinion of His Pou.-..

 Conner says that no man can do what he can with the Legislature. That is a proposition like counting the chick ems before they are hatched MT. Conner has a greater opinion of his influence MT. Conner is just where he asked to he put, at the head of the railroad com mission; he has three years of his fonr years to serve; If he made a fight for ising the people wonderful chanRes in railroad rates, why does he not stay there? The Governor has no more power to regulate railroad rates than a beat constable The Commission is his promises, if they were made in sin cerity. The truth is Mir Conner never cared cuss about the farmers or their interests, he wanted to get on the com mission as stepping stone to the Gov ernor's chair and from there hA homes to go to the Senate.

In all. the mistakes and mismanage- ment connected with the canal project there is hardly anything less defen sibie than the employment of Bishop as official press agent. He himself says that he has been employed in sending inspired dispatches over the country with the purpose of settling public sen timent in favor of the canal'
 Is not that an altogether discredi- table admission? We do not know who inspires his dispatches, but 1t is sufFi- cient to know that they are gotten up with specific object in view. and that the results desired. The public has long since become suspicious of much of the information, or alleged infor- nation. that has come from the canal region, though enough has gotten out to cast discredit on the entire business but the public has only lately learned that a press agent was employed to send out stories to suit those who wish ed to create good impression on the country. As the Kansas City Journal says:
 If anything could operate to create public sentiment against the canal pro- ject it would be the employment by it's management of press agent to mold public sentiment. The newspapers of the country are honest, as rule. and they can be safely trusted to print all the facts without bias or prejudice. and to help the canal commission in every legitimate way. It makes no differ ence to the newspapers whether an of- ficial press agent is employed or not. They will get the news and print the truth in spite of his efforts to mis- lead them. But the public is sure to resent any attempt at hoodwinking it by the authorities, and the less there is of 1t the better for the canal. As one of the senators remarked. any attempt to Russianize the press of this country is certain to result in failure"

 The Creators methods are often be- yond the pale of understanding by fi- mite minds. Whenever God has sought to raise up mankind to a Higher plane of social and political justice his in- strument has been selected from the ranks of the 1owly born. He wns a carpenter whom the Creator chose to give to mankind the most sublime code of morals the world has ever known; he was an urchin of the sea.

The best joke on the police that WIG have read of is reported from Chicago where a lady sent in hurry call by phone to headquarters to send police man to her house at once. Thinking something serious was the matter one of the finest was hurried to the resi- dence. there to find that the nurse had gone of and the lady wanted the police man to stay and mind the baby. The disgust of the ofticer as he hurriedly left without ceremony was only equall- ed by the womans display of temper over what she looked on as failure on the part of the man to perform his duty.

For quite while she has been trying to get Congress to som- pensate her for the loss of her crown, claiming that our government is re- sponsible for the loss and ought to pay her for 1t. but so far she stands no do. She claims ten million dollars but we suspect that she would be willing to mark down the price, very consid- erably for cash.

 It is an old saving in European coun- tries that America supports their peo- ples, and the truth of this could not he better illustrated than by the fact that in the last fourteen days there has been sent in money orders to Europe the sum ot $4.142.699.94. This morning alone the steamship Philadelphia car ried away $7S5,5O4.13 in money orders This represents 6O.S31 orders. For the fourteen days the grand total of orders is 269,SI9.
 The largest sum of money this morn ing went to Great Britain. There were 27,24S money orders for King Edwards s realm, representing 92,9SS.7l. The greater part of this sum went to Ire- land. where for more than half cen tury the landlords have been paid their rents out of money earned in the United States.
 To Italy on the Philadelphia went $91.263.20, and to Germany $73,31O.96, and the Swedes sent home for Christ mas $7499S 20. Last year the total sum for the corresponding fourteen days of December amounted only to $2,917,195.41. so that this year is an increase of $1,225, ,509.53.

Now that the American nation is pre- pairing to observe the two-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Franklin. it is a welcome announcement that the January Century will publish an esti- mate of Franklin in France" from the pen of the late John Hay-a study pre- pared somo years ago for delivery in Chicago, then laid aside because of ill., health. This witty and scholarly re- view of Franklin's service abroad will be illustrated with the Cochin portrait. made in France in 1777. Speaking of Franklin's appearance at this time, Mir.

 There is no telling to what limit MT. Conner will go before his campaign is over, in charging all others with insin- cerity and deception. If he could con vince the people that all former Legis- latures and Governors were false to the peoples interests because of 'railroad environments" would they believe that ous to the wiles of the tempter? When a man gets to the point of believing that every man Is a d-n rascal but himself. he is getting pretty close to the danger line of confidence as to his sanity.
