NOT so EAST.

Regulating the railroads and their rates isn't as easy as it has looked to some. One of the plans proposes that when a road drops the rates to favor a shipper this rate, if discovered, shall be declared the minimum rate for all shippers. It is pointed out that the enforcement of this scheme would work great injustice to roads other than the offending one, due to the fact that the railroad systems are not all under one

the large centers there are weak lines which are compelled by reason of their location and general conditions to now and then grant concessions in response to the pressure of very large shippers.
 By way of Illustrating the injustice of the proposed remedy for the rate evil, the following case is cited: Say that between two large cities of this country there are five railroads, four of which are reasonably strong and prosperous, whose officers are obeying the law and whose shippers are reason ably content with the price and the ser vice. The fifth railroad, however, is thin in traffic and it's owners cannot meet the legitimate competition of the other lines. Suppose the rate between these two points on some commodity Is 60 cents per hundred pounds, rate that has been agreed upon as being reasonable to the shipper and proffta- ble to the railroads. The weak line, in order to get additional traffic, cuts the rate to 50 cents. This cut becomes known, and under the power it Is pro- posed to give to the Interstate Com merce Commission the committee pun ishes the railroad by making that the legal rate. The other four railroads, which have not participated in the cut, would find themselves in a very peculiar condition. They. too, would be punished for the act of the fifth railroad, over which they have no eon- trol. In other words, if the weak line cuts the 60 cent rate the traffic to which that rate applies will flow in an uninterrupted stream to it's rails unless the other railroads reduce their tar ifs to that figure. It is argued that they would be compelled to reduce their charges in order to hold the business.

 There was silence. No doubt Ward thought that was weighing his words But I was engaged upon something more important. The lady in white muslin was turning again. I waited till she got just in front of our window once more, and then I suddenly swept aside the curtain nearest me and coughed.
 Ward looked at me as if he thought I was mad, or, at least, ungentlemanIy. Becaugh the cough was palpably a forced one.
 "Oh, there you are!"
 And with these words spoken in a tone of relief, the woman we had both been watching stepped off the walk and came quickly up to our window. I was the only man visible.

ENGLISH NATAL ACTIVITY.

Britannia is going to continue to rule the wave if nothing happens to pre- vent it. Sir John Fisher, the control ling power of the British Admiralty, is keeping officers and men busy these dave. His plan is to maintain an ade- quate striking force on war footing at the most commanding strategic spots for any possible emergency. So he has ordered that when the Atlantic fleet and the Second Cruiser squadron re- turn to England for Christmas leave they are to be immediately replaced in their own waters by the Channel fleet and the First Cruiser squadron. In the meantime, the mobilization arrange nents at the home dockyards are to be so complete that nucleus crews of the reserve divisions can be brought up to full complements at twenty-four hours notice.
 In February next a series of combin- ed manoeuvres will be held It is un- derstood that the real purport of them is to test the effectiveness of the ex- isting distribution of British naval forces in Europe. The Atlantic and Mediterranean fleets with the Second Cruiser squadron, will operate from Lagos, and the Channel fleet and the First Cruiser squadron will form an opposing force. The nauoeuvre area will be very wide indeed, with a view of determining how wide radius a modern battle fleet can effectually cover and yet keep touch with an ene- my. These exercises are supposed to be preliminary to the worldwide ma- noeuvres projected for next summer.

The chaplains of the navy are said to be highly wrought up over the sug- gestion of Secretary Bonaparte that their corps be increasad. by employing ten clergymen of the various denomin- ations, after the manner of contract surgeons. It is Secretary Bonapartes idea that these temporary chaplains shall demonstrate individual fitness, with view to being selected for per- inanent commissions in the corps. The chaplains say that this will be a grave reflection upon them, and that it sav- ors of placing the chaplains on a par with a contract method and suggests obtaining the services of clergynen on the basis of the lowest bidder. The chaplains are always sensitive of any charge which is suggested, and for a long time, especially during the ad- dninistration of Secretary Long, there was much feeling because the chap iains did not have desired decoration on their uniforms. They are likely to interpose objection to the scheme which gives them a temporary or con- tract personnel.

An illustration of the fact that the race question is not confined to the South is seen in East Orange, New Jersey, where the board of education has by resolution provided for the se- gregation of the negro school children. The negroes of the city are indignant, and they have sympathy of many lead ing white citizens, including the pastors of several white churches, who have made addresses at meetings called to express disapproval of the action of the authorities. There has been no disor- der nothing but dignified protest and efforts to change the attitude of those responsible for existing conditions.

LoWans have called attention to what they regard as vital defect in the $10,- 900 painting which Edwin A. Blashfield, the New York artist, has spent several months in placing upon the inner walls of the newly decorated state capitol building. In 8 prairie scene of the pioneer days the driver of a yoke of oxen hitched to a blow is located on the right side of the oxen instead of the left, and every Hawkeye strolling in from the rural districts to view the work of art points out in the hearing Of the artist the blunder he has made. The state capitol commission Is in doubt as to whether 1t ought to accept fhe work.

The tramp in the play, who stole a redIhot stove, was quite a thief, but there are others. A recent theft from Olympia of an international trophy of bulky proportions recalls similar re- rnovals or unwieldy articles. During the South African War an immense stone monument was removed at Cape Town during the night, and no one knows to this day by whom or why it was taken. Some years ago, in broad daylight, a clever and bold gang of thieves carried off valuable foun- tain, fourteen feet high, from Uxbrldge, without exciting the suspicion of any one, and, quite recently, an omnibus was calmly removed, horses and all while standing unguarded outside a public house in London, and has never been seen or heard of since.
