An unusually active interest was dis
played during January relative to
freight rates on grain from interior pri-
mary markets to Atlantic and Gulf
ports. As a rule, there are no through
published rates on grain from the Mis-
souri, river to the Atlantic seaboard. but
on Jan. 80 the railroads fled with the
interstate commerce commission and
put into effect a rate on corn from com
mon points on this river to New York
and Boston of 1872 cents, to PhiladeI-
phia liz cents, and to Baltimore, New
port News. and Norfolk II cents. on
the same date the railroads running to
the Gulf reduced the export corn rate
from Kansas City to Galveston and
New Orleans from Il to 121S cents and
from Omaha to the same Gulf ports
from IS to 1874 cents. The exports of
grain via the Atlantic ports during jan
uary amounted to 4.56S.Is2 bushels and
those from the Gulf ports to 1858, 7s7
bushels

meet with Nj. A. Low, president of the
Kansas State Exposition company,

Philadelphia is now the recognized
city where ballot box stufing has been
reduced to an exact science, says the
Pittsburg Post. and this is based on re
cent developments that glaring frauds
were committed at the recent election
in February in some of the wards.
There is strong array of evidence that
the frauds were perpetrated by Repub-
hcan election officers and division work
ers- This is new scheme to control
and defraud the ballot box. The old
plan of repeating and fraudulent regis
tratiOn is declared to be made more eff
fective by the criminal uses of election
officers. 1t was supposed that the cli-
max and possible outcome of election
crimes had been attained through the
failure to frame an effective personal
registration law, but it appears not. The
corruption and bribery of election Off
GERS win make the crime more easy of
accomplishment.

SAN DOMINGO CONSTITUTION.
Teller Wants Treaty Considered in
Open Session.

Washington, March 13.-When the
senate convened today Mr.. Morgan
presented a translation of the Santo
Domingo constitution which was order
ed printed as a public document. on
motion of Mr.. Cullom the senate went
into executive session.
The senate took up the Santo Do
mingo treaty soon after the doors We're
closed. Mr.. Teller made an earnest
plea for consideration of the treaty
with open doors so that the position of
senat tors for and against the measure
might be perfectly understood. The mo-
ton to open the doors for the discus
sion of the treaty was voted down
without division. Mr.. Teller then moved
the adoption of the recommendations of
the foreign relations committee that
stenographer be present to record the
debate on the treaty for the senate. This
was defeated on a roll call.

The Japanese victory 1t AIulzden appears
to be a source of qualification to Amer
lean citizens generally. Probably this is
not due to any feeling of partiality 9TH
er than that arising from a conviction
that Japan is right and Russia is
wrong. Russia had no right to Man
churia. This she acknowledged when
she promised to retire on a given date.
When she failed to keep her promise
and showed plainly that she never in
tended to fulfill it. she became menace
to Japan's existence as a nation. That
the Mikados empire had no friends up
on whom it could rely for protection
from possible Russian aggression, had
been made plain by the manner in
which Europe cOnspired to rob it of the
fruits Of its victory over China eleven
years ago There was nothing left for
Japan but to fight and victory was a

new RAILROAD SUIT.
Grain Firm Claims Money for Re-
bates and Overcharges.

A suit filed in the supreme court tc-
day involves the matter OF rebates and
! overcharges by railroads in an inter
esting matter It is an appeal from the
the Kansas City Southern.
Back in 1901 Fields 81 Slaughter, a
grain firm doing business in Iowa and
Nebraska, sold a large quantity of corn
shipped from Omaha to Texarkana,
Texas. Afterwards Forester Bros
failed owing the Iowa firm considerable
money. Fields & Slaughter got a Judg-
ment against Forester Bros. and then
garnisheed the Kansas Southern in
Crawford county, Kan, claiming that
the railroad owed Forester Bros some
thing over 81, 100 on overcharges-
It seems that the agents for the St
Louis firm went to E. H. Shaufter,
freight traffic manager for some OF
the Omaha-kansas City lines, offer
ing him 500 cars of business II he
could get a low rate from Omaha to
Texarkana. Shaufter made him low
rate, which does not appear in the
record, from Omaha to Kansas City,
and then got rate of cents from
Kansas City to Texarkana over the
Kansas City Southern. The corn was
to be shipped by October 80, but the
plaintiffs claim that the Kansas CITY
Southern did not furnish the cars
fast enough to get it off during that
month. After October 81 the Kansas
City Southern put its rate UP to 10
cents a hundred and afterward to 4
cents. The receipts show that the
Forester company was credited with
Overcharges to a large amount, but
the Iowa firm claimed that there
should have been still further rebates
The railroad company set up the
defense that it had made the rates to
Shaufter. and that it was his duty to
file it with the interstate commerce
commission at Washington, and that
as he had not done so the rate was aR
illegal contract. The Kansas City
Southern, however, allowed it to re-
main in force until October 81, and
then advanced it.
The jury brought in a verdict for
the railroad company, but a new
trial was granted. and it is from this
action that the railroad now appeals
to the supreme court.

The HIGHEST Type.

Mary Sarstield Gilmore, a staff CORE
spondent of the New York Freeman's
Journal, writes to that paper along the
following lines:
Catholic womanhood and ideal Wo-
manhood by right are synonymous;
and the Catholic woman or girl who
fails to represent the highest type of
her sex, not only ineurs grave moral
responsibility, but misses the golden
opportunity of her life. That she is
not an unknown social quantity is due
less to her deliberate fault than to her
culpabie thoughtIessuess. She realizes
only in part the obligations of her no
bility She underestimate her SUI
preme possibilities.
All the world agrees that purity and
religion are the sole and indispensable
basis of ideal wopanhood, and that, as
the representative of both essential
graces, the Catholic woman stands
above reproach.
But the law fulfilled in the letter by
sheer force of Divine instinct may be
filled in the spirit of social concessions
instigated by human respect. 1t is well
TO realize that where Catholic conces-
sion is necessary, there is something
rotten in the social state. Moral per-
ception is not too apt to be supersen-
ssitive, and the Catholic woman must
fear iaxity rather than scrupulousness,
lest she be responsible for disedification
or scandal.
