Representatives of the leading Trans
mississippi railroads have given positive
assurance to the Interstate Commerce
commission that they are determined to
stop the giving of rebates in any form
to large shippers and several railway
men have assured the commission that
the public conscience has been aroused
by rebate disclosures and that many
prominent shippers have announced that
they will accept no concessions of any
sort which may cause them TO be classed
with corporations which have profited
by special rates. This is a suggestive
revelation. We were led to believe all

sions had been discontinued Immediately

Cleveland Leader.

ties of public snaps" 1t has long been a
scandal 1t is past open apology or defense,
Yet II will not be abolished without hard
fight. Practical politicians are not sure
that it will he uprooted at all. Is this
majority rule?

lists that his patience at last gave way.
and when cornered by the gentlemen
OF the press his language became dis
tinctly lurid.
One day as he was coming out of the
central posto1ice frank looking
young man stepped up TO him, and,
holding out his hand. said: Il am so

And may | inquire with whom am

near relation to be sure, but near
enough to offer you congratulations
etc. Professor Trombett. reassured,
and glad to get hold of some one to
unburden himself to, took the stran-
gers arm, and, as they went down the
street, gave, in emphatic terms,
description Of his sufferlngs, his opin-
ion of journalists, and, incidentally,
much information about himself which
the papers had been yainly signing for.
Finally they parted with an engage
