White Slaves in the Orient.

1merican girls are being lured
to China by catchy advertise
NETS in some Of the western
palers. Wealthy persons about
to tavel pretend that they want
mails or companions. Often
working girls answer the adver-
tisehents, meet the wealthy
traNlers' at San Francisco and
sail Or the Orient, little suspect
ing that they are going into a
condition Of life far worse than
deatl. Many parents have said
goodb bye to their girls for tho
last t me, when they have thus
gone, and it is ninety-nine chan
ces OFT OF a hundred that they
will ne yer be heard from again.
American girls before taking
positions in a foreign country,
should investigate the nature OF
their future surroundings or re-
main wit h their parents.

Republicans. Resolutions We're adopt

lection as the established policy OF our
country and advocating reciprocal on
cessions by means Of Il dual or maxi
nun and minimum tariff" and q CON-
mittee was authorized to be appointed
to establish a permanent organization
under the style of the American Re
ciprocal Tariff league.
The Democrats welcome all such ef-
forts to aid them in relieving tie
people from the tariff that fosters
trusts, but We warn these Republicans
that no relief from trust high prices

pared to greatly reduce or abolish:

from. AS the Republican machine
stuffed the ballots in the box to start
with and her did the counting. it
would seem to have been a waste Of

Democrats and refoVlHTs are still III

a Great Gain.

Public officers have no legal immuni-
ty from prosecution. but they seem to
have had a moral immunity. Public
sentiment has been satisfied with driv-
ing grafters into retirement. There
has been an unconfessed feeling that a
statesman, like an eminent and re-
spected private citizen. was FURNISHED
enough" by disgrace without putting
him in Jail. The feature of the present
moral awakening is the feeling that
statesmen and prominent men stand
before the law on an exact level with
obscure sinners. That is great gain

RAILROAD CHARGES.
Oomm1ssfOn Should Have Power to
Fix Reasonable Rates.

President Stuyvcsant Fish of the II.
1nOls Central railroad favors additional
laws to prevent rate discrimination and
all known forms of rebates, but is CD.
posed to the interstate com.
mission being given power to designate
q reasonable maximum rate in place of
u 1t has decided is unreasonable.
Mr.. Fish, like the other railroad mag.
mates, thus virtually declares that the
railroads are to he allowed to continue
to charge whatever rates for freight
or passengers the traffic will bear
II reason given by Mr.. Fish for oh,
1ectlng to the government controlling
rates is Il speciOus one, for he claims
that shippers do not want it, because
1t would mean in the end distance
tariff, and tina would eliminate com.
petition not only among the railroads,
but among producers, shippers and
communities"
Yet rather than have the railroads
continue charging whatever the rapac-
1ty of their managers can contrive to
squeeze Jul of the public, a distance
tariff fixed by law would be welcome
relief, as at least every one would be
on an equal footing and pay for just
what amount Of transportation he
used. AS it is now, favored industries
and favored corporations and individ-
uals get a low rate and the small ship
per and the general public, who have
no friendly interest at railroad head
quarters, have to pay the high rates.
AS far as competition is concerned,
the combination among the Wall street
railroad owners has pretty effectually
eliminated that protection to the pub
lie.
But there is no proposition for the in
terstate commerce commission to fix
rates everywhere or to establish a dis
lance tariff. Thelaw proposed in the last
congress and passed by the house Of
representatives was that when q rate
had been declared unreasonable the
commission was to have the power to
say what was to be q reasonable rate.
The law now gives the commission
power to declare a rate unreasonable
after hearing the evidence of the ship
pers and the railroads, but the su-
preme court declared the law gave no
power to force the railroads to reduce
the unreasonable rate to a reasonable
one. That was the proposition in the
Dewey bill, which the Democrats sup
ported in the last congress, with the
additional provision that a railroad
which had been charging an unreason-
able rate and was aggrieved at the rate
named by the commission could appeal
to the courts, but the rate fixed by the
commission would be the rate paid by
shippers until the court decided it was
too low for the service rendered.
Is there anything unreasonable about
that, when it is considered that all the
facts about each particular case are
presented to the commission by the
two parties to the controversy and the
railroads have the courts open to them
to protect their interests? Surely the
railroads are not afraid of the courts.
