No Excursion Rates.

The reason for the refusal of the
Short Line to give excursion rates to
Portland on Idaho or other special days,
is thus given by General Passenger
Agent Bnrley:
To offer further reduction of rates,
congestion of travel, which would con-
sequent1y follow, would be suicidal on
our part. We have been doing our level
best to take good care of the eastern
business. 1t is all important that this
should be done, for the reason that it
means great things from an immigra-
ton standpoint in the future. Idaho
will get her share of this business. If
we were to promote special excursions

A MISTAKE.

It is very much to be regretted that there was a violent demonstration on the streets of Philadelphia a few nights ago in front of the home of the notorious "Iz." Durham, one of the prin- cipal leaders of the thieving gang which has so long run riot in that city. It was a crowd of good citizens, who are fighting the gang and are deter mined to break it up.
 Probably there was no design on the part of these citizens to indulge in vio- lence, but the occasion tempted some and the result was not merely indig- nant language directed at the boss, but bricks and stones were used, win dows smashed, and other damage done which almost invariably follows when a crowd loses control of itself.
 It was one of those unfortunate oc- currences that cannot always be pro- yided against. That the honest people of the city have good cause to feel out ragged over the disclosures which have been made, and to resent the efforts now being made by the gang to retain places and power is not to be denied. Perhaps we should not too harshly con- demn them if they at some times lose control of themselves and adopt violent measures, for they have been sorely tried.
 But the people of Philadelphia must realize that violence will weaken their cause Mayor WeavAr ;s ane,sAa ;, one of the most gigantic tasks that ever fell to the lot of an official and he is depending on the law for success. He should not only have the assistance of all law-abiding people of that city. but those people should be careful to hold up his hands in legal manner. Violence, or threats of violence. win be enlarged on by the gang and will create some sympathy for them. If

Holton (Kan.) Signal.

It is proposed to put Mother Hub bards on the judges of the Supreme Court. Here's hoping that the judges will not fall victims to so fool a scheme The country long ego outgrew gowns for men, swords. wigs and knee pants. The Mother Hubbard suggestion Is ri- diculous and it's adoption would cheap en the court. The public requires that a judge shall know the law, be honest in expounding it and conduct himself like a gentleman. The fiubdubbery of an English court is not wanted in Kan sas.

 E q. Chaffiu.

Troy, Oct 22.--(Special) )-The resi- dence occupied by F. G. Chaffin and family, on South Three Notch Street, was partially consumed by fire this morning at o'clock. The flames are supposed to have caught from bed room fiue and as the family were brea kfasting in another part of the house, the fire made considerable head way before it was discovered. The fire company did good work and extin- guished the flames, but not before the roof and upper story were destroyed. The house Is owned by Tip Griffin and was protected by insurance to the amount of $1,00O, the same amount be- ing carried by Mir. Chaffius on his household goods.

Every since Joseph Folk was made Governor of Missouri. The Kansas City Journal has been knocking him in a way that is neither ereditable to that paper nor to its frequent professions in favor of civic honesty. It speaks sneeringly of his visit to Philadelphia and of his speeches there, although all the decent newspapers of that city have had nothing but commendation for both. The truth of the matter is that Governor Folk has made 1t decidedly uncomfortable for some of The Jour nai's Republican friends and that is an unpardonable offence in It's estima- tion. Because he said that municipal governments in the United States to- day ''are governments by the few and not by the people" it refers to his speech as "an epitome of demagogy." The esteemed Journal is gnawing a file.

FreiSht HaudIern striIxe.

The freight handlers at the Louisville and Nashville Railroad depot in this city have practically been on strike for the past week demanding an in- crease of wages from $1 to $1.25 per day. The company is said to have declined the increase and as a conse- auence considerable trouble has been experienced This has been one reason for the delay in handling freight at the freight depot which brought about a strong protest from the mer- chants of Birmingham who organized shippers Bureau and formulated resolutions which will be presented to- morrow to the local officials of the road and perhaps a little later sent to headquarters in Louisville.
 Common labor is ve.y scare in Birm- ingham and higher wages are now be- ing paid than ever before. The Birm- ingham Railway, Light and Power Com pany is advertising for large number of comnion laborers offering $1.10 per day against 95 cents and $1 per day paid to this class of labor during the past two years. Store porters are de- manding $1.25 and $1.50 per day and there Is far from a suficiency.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad gives employment to a large number of common laborers at the freight depot handling the freight from cars to depot and from depot to cars, the traffic in this district being very heavy. An adjustment of the trouble is looked for in the next few days

RENOVATION PROPOSED.

A proposition is now under dfscussioh in England, of all countries, looking to the establishment of criminal courts where cases against women offenders may be tried before a female judge and determined by female jurors. We say of all countries" because England is one country that does not recognize women as practitioners before the courts, and if the proposed law is passed, it will work a revolption in English legal practice.
 As The Kansas City Journal says. the fundamental principle underlying this latest phase of the rights of women to be tried by judges of their own sex Is that the sins of erring wonanhood can best be understood and appreciated in character and motive by women them selves. In passing judgment upon criminal cases a court is not influenced but the punishment that is to be in- fiicted depends to no small extent upon
 .e temperament and nature of the prisoner and the circumstances that led to a transgression. of the law. Upon this hypothesis it is next to impossible for any man, no matter how judicial of mind or sagacious. to understand or es- timate the mental machinery of wo- man or to deal justly with a woman malefactor.
 One of the arguments advanced in favor of this innovation is that judges in too many cases show little toler- ance for female weaknesses when they proceed from affairs of the heart, but on the other hand, to quote again from the same authority. those who oppose the innovation, and it must be said that this includes a large majority of the English bar, maintain that women are notofiously intolerant of their own sex and they know neither justice nor mercy. long list of citations might be made to sustain this point. but it is pointed out that even as a general with the errors and faults of members of the opposite sex than to ones own. It Is thus argued that women. whether their emotional and temperamental na- lures are understood by male judges or not, are always given the benefit of the doubt, and in most instances they receive the minimum punishment sim ply because they are women and not men. If all indicators, male and fe- male. were weighed in the same scales. 1t is asserted women would suffer more severely before the law than they have ever done; and this is probably the truth of it.
