RAILWAY RUMoR.

The German government railways em-
ployed $685. ,451 persons in 1903; the num-
Der of locomotives in use was 20,S45.
The total length of the Russian rail-
way system on January IA was 7,571H
miles. In 1904 there were thrown open
to traffic 679 miles.
The final spike In the railroad from
Canton to Samshui was driven the other
day. But before 1t had been driven
down "a hours it was stolen by the Chi
nese.
English railroad directors give prizes
to station masters who keep the best cul-
tivated flower beds at their respective
stations. Some of the gardens thus
maintained are beautiful.
In 1898 the butter hauled over the Min
neapolis & st. Louis railroad was 40O,-
900 pounds. Last year it was nearly A.
100000, the gain coming wholly from de-
velopments of creameries along the rail-
road.
A report from Teheran, the capital of
the shah's empire, is to the effect that
the Persian government is negotiating
with Russia for the purpose of building
q railroad from the Russian frontier to
the capital of Persia.
Traffic through the railway tunnel at
Port Huron, Mich, will soon be handled
by six electric locomotives. The third
rail system will be used, with the rail
placed at the side of the tunnel to avoid
accidents to workmen.
Thomas Fitzgerald, who has been ap-

OPINION AND COMMENT.

Uncle Sam himself is taking hand

GTThe tariff revision idea is as dead
as a door nail for a twelvemonth and
the truth is that popular sentiment re-
garding the matter seems to have been
wrongly interpreted. Despite a great
deal OF newspaper representation TO
the contrary, it does not appear that
there is any general and sincere desire
thr~ uehout the country to cut down
the tariff schedules. Perhaps If times
were bad popullr feeling on the sub
ject would be different; but the times

INCAPABLE OF GOVERNING.
Spirit of the Democracy Which Is a
Menace to Business
Interests.

The administration bill ardently sup
ported by President Roosevelt and Sec
retaTy Taft for the reduction of duties
at American ports on Philippine sugar
and tobacco to 25 per cent. of the rates
prescribed in the Dingley law had been
under consideration by the ways and
means committee of the house of repre-
sentatives for some time when vote was
taken which resulted: In favor of the
bill, IA; opposed to the bill, l. The mi
nority vote was cast by S. NJ. Robertson,
democrat, of Baton Rouge, La. Every
republican member of the committee
supported the measure.
Mr.. Robertson's vote is instructive as
showing the disease which affiicts the
democratic party, says the Chicago
Chronicle He represents in part
state which is interested in the produc-
ton of sugar. 1t is probable that he
would not hesitate to deprive iron and
steel, wool or hides, copper or glass of 100
per cent of the protection given them
under the Dingley law, and he would feel
that he was acting on principle in so do
taxation upon even the small sugar
product of an American dependency
could not be entertained by him for a
minute.
Thus a democrat theoretically opposed
to all tariff for protection outrepublicans
the republicans of the ways and means
committee, who believe in protection for
80 l,
suaded on occasion to modify the laws on
the subject when no harm will be done to
any interest at home. AS Mr.. Taft has
pointed out. the entire Philippine sugar
crop, if admitted duty free. would have
no effect whatever upon the American
market
Mr.. Robertsons vote shows why the
democratic party cannot govern. 1t un
dertakes as a matter of principle to pass
tariff bill and selfish interests detach
enough of its members to make the meas
ure a matter of mere bargain and sale
Most democrats are radical free traders
so far as the industries and products of
other people are concerned. They are
enthusiastic protectionists as far as their
own local industries are concerned.
1t is this spirit which makes the party
when it is aggressive and dominant a
menace to the greater business interests
of the country. The Wilson tariff law as
amended by democratic grafters and log
rollers was more obnoxious than any re-
publican tariff because it was wholly
| selfish and unprincipled. A republican
tariff bill is drawn with the idea that
| beneficiaries must give as well as take
and it does not attempt to smite one Sec
tion in order to build up another
a party which, even when in the mi
nority, cannot agree to support its own
professed principles has little to offer
to the people who at times may be in
clined to favor change of administra-
ton

ROOSEVELT AND SENATE.
Admirable Conduct of the President
in His Clash with the
Senate.

The overlooking energy of Mr.. Roose-
welt, tempered by the mature wisdom of
the senate Ia condition never absent
from the minds of the trainers of the
cOnstitutiOn), cannot fail to guide us
along lines of sObriety and safety When
our excellent chief magistrate is right
he has no warmer admirer, no stancher
henchman than the Sun. He is for the
most part right always so by intention;
but his most Incorporate worshipers
must admit that the impetuosity of youth
sometimes gets the upper hand of his
native judgment. 1t is on these occas-
ions. and only on these, says the New
York Sun. that the Sun has felt an ad-
monitory impulse and has given express
sion to it in words of temperate and
sauve reproof.
Mr. Roosevelt is always wisdom itself
when he permits himself to take time
enough, and he must surely see that the
late action OF the senate is the best thing
that could possibly have happened to
HIM or TO the country. For some time he
has manifested a brilliant and even fas-
cinatirS tendency the very picturesque
ness OF which was thrilling to a mind
which. like his. can but i'll brook the
commonplace in either life or office. A
moderate reflection must convince him
that a chew to this tendency, which in
the nature of things he could not himself
administer, was as necessary as it was
salutary.
The whole country is grateful for what
has occurred. 1t feels relieved and re-
assured. It's confidence III Mr.. Roose-.
welt is not only unabated, but is vastly
enhanced, and the reason that this is so
is that it appreciates the wholly admir-
able and manly temper in which he has
taken the action of the senate A weaker
and less mastery president might have
resented ii and have proceeded to the
excess of seeming or real retaliation.
Mr.. Roosevelt has done nothing of the
kind; his bearing is that of the young
Telemachus receiving with mingled dig
nifty and filial affection the admonitions
of Mentor.
SO may we fare for four years more
and our president grow in wisdom and
every day fortify himself in the affec-
tions of the nation!
GEMr Bryan wishes It to be distinct
ly understood that he agrees with the re-
publicans on practically all points now
at issue. but that he is still and always
will be opposed to paying debts in 1OG-
cent dollars.-Chicago Post
uEMr. Bryan's disiRterested sugges-
tion that Mr.. Roosevelt should refuse
to receive favors from railway COM
panies is reminder that the gentle
man from Nebraska is still laying
down rules and regulations for other
people. The country will lie safe so
long as Mr.. Bryan finds that he is not
wholly in accord with the cupant of
the white houge.-ChicaGo Chronicle.

THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some.

1t hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts. for it is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.

but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.

tinued about months until my
stomach commeE seed acting bad and
choking as if l Dad swallowed some
thing the size of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and indigestion.
"One day 1 took a drive with my
husband three miles in the country
and drank cup of coffee for dinner.
l thought sure l would die before l
got back to town to a doctor. l was
drawn double in the buggy and when,
my husband hitched the horse to get
me out into the Doctors Office, misery
came up in my throat and seemed to
shut my breath off entirely, then left

The doctor pronounced 1t nervous.

Sensible Social Departure.

A social revolution has been effected in
the town of Haparanda in Sweden. Ac-
cCrding to the Gaulois. the ladies there
have unanimously decided TO absolve
the men from the duty of lifting their
hats while greeting them in the streets
at least during the prevalence of the
unusually severe weather of this winter.
1t is fair to infer remarks the New
York Post, that this resolve was taken
only after most careful study of med
ical statistics showing beyond a doubt
that there are three times as many men
suffering from 'catarrh, neuralgia
toothache, influenza, and heavy colds"
as there are women similarly afflicted
The cause of this alarming preponder
ance of male patients along what may
rough. be termed facial lines it seems
can only be explained by the old way of
saluting the fair sex in bad weather.
There is much to be said for the heroic
step taken by the ladies of Haparanda,
who are thus willing to content them
selves for time with simple military
greeting" but we think the Gaulois is
rash in assuming that they will earn the
particular gratitude of bald-headed gen.
tlemen. A somewhat minute observation
of the behavior of elderly men in the
act of Offering the customary salutation
to passing female acquaintance has led
us to believe that none are more eager to
bare their heads on such occasions than
those whose heads are already bare.

GRAND JURY.
Leaders Charged with Conspiracy to
1njure Business-Considera
Violence Reported H..

Chicago, June 5. Twenty indict-
ments against labor men were returned
Saturday by the grand jury, including
II reindictments of men who already
are under conspiracy charges. r.
The eight new indictments include
Albert Young, former president of the
Teamsters' International union The
other seven names are withheld by
States Attorney Healy. ~
The charge against all of these 20
labor leaders is conspiracy to injure the
business of Chicago mercantile firms by
boycotting. etc.
New indictments against the 12 labor
leadersfor whom true bills were returned
in April on charges of conspiracy have
lain for several days in Assistant States
Attorney Goings office ready to be voted
upon. 1t is said authoritatively that
these II men will be reindicted because
of the discovery that the original indict-
ments are technically defective.
Shootings, assaults and fights be-
tween the police guards escorting wag-
ons through the streets and strikers
marked a renewal of the violence in
connection with the strike Saturday.

were holding the reins and were pelted

dred strikers. The policemen attacked
the crowd with their clubs, but were un-
able to stop the disturbance and finally
had to draw their pistols.
Several bricks came flying at the DO
lcemen, but with guns in hand they
made determined stand and were able
to open up passageway for the wagon
in the crowded thoroughfare.

THEATER BURNED,
The Avenue, a Pittsburg PLAYHOUSE
Destroyed by Fire at Loss
Of 100000.

Plttsburg, Pa, June 5.-One of the
most exciting and spectacular fires
that has visited Pittsburg in recent
years broke out in the Avenue
theater shortly before 4 o'clock
Friday afternoon, and before it was
subdued had completely destroyed
the Avenue and partially wrecked
the Grand opera house adjoining
but fortunately no panic resulted,
and no lives were lost. The
loss will reach 100000, fully insured.
The cause of the fire is believed to be
traceable to crossed wires.
