STOP BOND ISSUES.

The announcement that the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad cormor-
ant has issued bonds to the amount OF
$50, 100000 will come as joyous news to
the people of the west who will have
the extreme felicity of paying Tin
freight rates) the dividends that will
be declared on this issue.
President Roosevelt's attempt to Sc
cure immediate legislative changes in
the interstate commerce regulations is
timely, and his project for the reduc-
tion and regulation OF freight rates
should succeed, for there is no drain
on the peopel of the west that is worthy
of mention beside the tribute levied by
the legalized blood-suckers at the head
of the traffic departments Of the trans
continental railroads.
In discussing the presidents plan.
E. p. Ripley, the head OF the Atchison,
recently called attention to the fact
that "the railroads cannot stand re-
duction Of rates because in 1904 the
average dividend of the roads of the
country was but 3 per cent" Mr.. Rip.
ley might, but did not, add that the
railroads of the country paid nearly 81
per cent on their real valuation, even
If they did only pay per cent on
their copiously watered capital stocks.
The remedy is easy, and doubtless
will soon be applied. Either tax the
railroads on mileage value basis, pro-
rated from their capital stocks or, APP
praise them at their assessed valua-
tions, limit their dividend to the legal
rate of interest OH yearly loans, and
enable the interstate commerce com
missioners to regulate tariffs, through
conference with the railway traffic
managers of the various roads, so that
freight rates may be reduced wher
undue profits accrue, instead of en-
abling these legalized thieves, as now
to float more paper on which to dis
tribute their excess Of earnings in The
shape OF "3 per cent dividends"

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE
Biology has Proved that Dandrun Il
Caused by Germ.

Science is donig wonders these days in
medicine as well as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
cessful cure until Newbro's Herpiclde was
put on the market. II Is q scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get at the root Of the hair, where
It saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally badness. With
out dandruh hair must grow iuxuriantly.
It IL the only destroyer Of dandruff.

PARENTAL AUTHORITY.

There seems to be a laxity OF pa
rental authority over children in AS
toria. Either many parents have lost
all control over their offspring or they
are extremely negligent. There are
few families in Astoria where there
are from six to nine children. The pa
rents see them at meal time and sup
per time. They are counted at bed
time to see that none have strayed
away, and after breakfast in the morn
ing they are turned out in the streets
only to show up again at meal time
That there are large number of tough
Kids in Astoria is attested by the num-
erous acts Of vandalism perpetrated
The fact that merchants complain that
II Is almost impossible to secure
competent boy to work shows an utter
disregard on the part Of some OF the
parents Of the habits of their boys.
Listen to the conversation of young
boys ranging between nine to Is years
of age, as they go to school and you
win hear vile and profane language
suggestive of a bairoom. Search their
pockets and you will find cigarettes.
Make an investigation Of the lavatories
connected with the schoolhouses and
Won win find obscene and vulgar Ian
guage written all over the walls. This
is not confined alone to school build
ings. A short time ago the manager OF
the Commercial Club was compelled 10
uaint the walls of the lavatortes a dirty
brown to clean of the smut and filth
written thereon. Boys think this is
smart. Some have an idea that they
can not be a man unless they can
swear like pirates, use vulgar and OBJ
scene language and smoke cigarettes.
All kinds of ,iepredations are commit
ted by these tough noodlums. The po-
lice are unable to catch them and the
public is compelled to suffer the in
tolerable nuisance.
1t certainly does not speak well Tor
some of the parents Of Astoria. 1t in
dicates a necessity for stringent sani-
tary education among the rising gener-
alton. II shows a woeful lack Of home
training, and suggests the necessity
of a school for moral education. SO
common have acts of vandalism and
hoodlumism become, that the common
council will probably be called upon to
pass a stringent ordinance prohibiting
it. 1t has been suggested that the cur
few ordinance be amended so as to
prohibit boys from being on the streets
after 7 o'clock in the evening. Re-
wards will be offered for information
duplicating boys IL obscene acts and
destruction of property, and the courts
will be called upon to mete out pun
ishment which is not accorded at home.
When the police attempt to enforce
the curfew ordinance ana arrest boys
for violating it they are visited by the
parents who are very profuse with
abuse of the police force and who give
the officers to understand that this is
a free country and their boys must be
allowed to roam the streets at will
Such parents look upon their children
as litter Of pigs. AS soon as they
are able to waddle they are turned loose
on the streets to acquire a street edu'
cation and propagate the species Of
aoodlumism that is disgrace to both
parties and the community.

UTILIZING WASTE LAND.

Operations under a comparatively new Phase
Of railroad development have been oeSun py
the Long Island Railroad Company near the
end Of its north shore, or mountain, dlFlsloh.
A plot Of land containing about seventeen acres
has been marked out on what has heretofore
been considered waste land and known as the
nine barrens" Here the bush Is to be cleared,
and the possibilities Of the land as garden
truck farm are to be tested to the uttermost
The company also intends to establish SINH
lar experimental farm on the main line, near
the middle of the island, and q third on the
south shore where Alexander Won Humboldt
once asserted that pineapples and coffee could
be cultivated with profit.
While not hoping to compete with se1nl-Iopi-
cal countries the company confidently expects
to show that on a small sum Of money farm
can be brought to paying basis WITHIN easy
distance of the great markets OF NeW-1orh
City. Progress in this attempt to utilize waste
land will be watched with much interest, and
a successful outcome means much to the great
city directly and to other cities and other rail-
roads as an object lesson. OF the 1917 acres
which make up Suffolk County, more than a.
600 have been of so little value that they have
never been assessed for taxes, and only noml-
nal assessment has been levied on at least 2oO,-
600 acres of the remainder Bringing this large
area into use as a food producer and thereby
adding it to the taxable resources Of county
whose presen. tax rate is among the lowest IN
the nation and actually the lowest in New-1ork
State is a work which viii rebound to the
profit as we'll as the credit Of the railroad and
the wonder is that it has not been started
before.
Other railroads are watching this experiment
carefully and the Long Island people regard it
as a movement of wide Importance and far
reaching effects.

pARTTsANsHIP AND FUSION.

Now that the Republicans have announced
that they think the fusion candidate for Mayor
not only may or will, but should, De a Deno-
GRAFT, no doubt they Will be denounced 1or tFy

or accused Of some other wicked mouVe. we

that nothing that the Republican party eau w

cause of some selfish scheme OF the leaders 10
divide spoils with Tammany. If they wantei
fusion with a Republican candidate, 1t would
he because they wanted to grab for their own
noIitical purposes the fruits of reform VIC
tory And of course, when they conceue the
headshin of the ticket to q Democrat. that, TOO,
must be wrong.
In making this concession they have done
ius+ what has been demanded Of them, but
that makes no difference. Mayor Low was no
toriously no favorite of Republican lnachhe
politicians He prescribed TO them oy
others. and the first time they refused TO take
him Nevertheless, two years ago Tammany
represented the fusion cause as mercy ols-
guised Repubcanism and doubtless won many
votes by such tactics. This year the Repuo-
licans are anxious that the fusion movement
shall not suffer in the same way. or the -FOUR
fusion campaigns Of recent years three nave

successful Francis NJ. Scott, Democrat Ieu
one fusion movement 1t Is time to give the
Democrats another chance
From a narrow party point Of view 1t makes
no difference An independent Democrat in the
MAYORS chair would have been Of just as much
service to the Republican organization as Mayor
Low was. and properly so. The Republicans
neither ask nor expect Mayor. whatever his
party affiliations, TO be responsible to them.
The politics Of the candidate is mere matter
of sentiment. Republicans like to vote for Ike
publicans and Democrats for Democrats, ana
the problem is so to adjust affairs that the
rank and file Of all supporters Of fusion will be
satisfied of the fairness of the arrangement.

THE WARE ORDER INDICATED.

The renort of the Commissioner Of Pensions
for the fiscal year 1904-'O5 will scarcely prove

mists who twelve months ago were working
themselves into frenzy over President Roose-
yeIt's age disability order-known popularity
the Ware order. or as Order No rs The Parker
Constitution Club. of New-York City. then in
the heyday of its public usefulness was con-
structing mastery arguments to show not only
that the order aforesaid was an executive
usurpation" null, void and impotent alb initio
bur also that if some self-sacrificng patriot did
not enjoin the Secretary of the Treasury from
paying the pensions granted under it the gov
eminent would be put to a ruinOus eXtra-legal
expense. 1t was estimated that If nobody
stepped into the breach and mandamused the
Treasury the annual expenditure for pensions
would be swollen some ten or twenty millions
But no one subscribed to a relief fund and the
injunction theory was never tested.
Perhaps it was just well for the reputa
tions of the constitutionalists of the Parker
Club that their proposal TO tie up the Treasury
never got beyond the pamphlet stage. How far
askew their ideas about executive usurpatiOn'
were we shall never know officially. But to see
how lamentably beside the mark were their es-
Inmates of the cost Of the age order we need

THE ITALIAN EARTHQUAKE.

With the exception OF the shocks experienced
in Northern India last April those which were
felt in Southern Italy yesterday were the most
destructive reported this year. Rarely indeed
do more than score of deaths result from
such a disaster, yet 1t is already evident that
several hundred have been killed in Calabrla
in towns within an area scarcely fifty miles
square.
Near as is the scene of the visitation to .Ftna
and Stromboli, it is not probable that the mis-
chief making agency was volcanic in character
A conspicuous of earthquakes exists in

THE IsTHnIAN CONTESTANTS.

mutually satisfactory understanding con-
corning the establishment of commissarats has
been reached by the Panamans ana the AInerl-
can authorities Of the canal zone Ihis hao
been confidently expected, but 1t is none the less
welcome. 1t was, as we have explained, neces-
sary to establish the commssariat system IL
was the unauestioned right Of the American
government to do It Nevertheless, II was III
evitabe that some Panamans should dislike 10
see it, and even in some way protest against
it. Finally it was eminently desirable that
without hampering the service in any way, such
dissatisfaction should be allayed. In this bit
Of diplomatic work the vernor-Mlnister, MI
Magoon, has succeeded well. In an extra-oH-
cial conference with the President and Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs in his official order
establishing the commissarats and in a subse-
auent explanatory letter to Senior de la Guardla
he has not only convinced the Panama govern
ment, and through ii the public Of the neces-
sity of the new system. but he has also inspired
them to perceive in ii an actual advantage to
the people of Panama.
IT is true that ,Seilor de la Guardia has de-
scribed the commssariat system as something
that will prejudice public revenues and part
of the commercial community" but yet that is
to be endured, matter how painful it may
be for the sake of facilitating the great work
of the canal. Such sentiments are quite proper
Tor offlclal expression AHotner view OF the
case is however set forth by Senior Sanchez, Il
member of the National Convention. which we
are glad TO believe is the more generally held
and which we are confident will in the end
prove 70 be the accurate-though indeed
there is no essential incompatibility between
them. Senior Sanchez holds that the richness
and abundance of natural products have en-
abled the people in the rural districts to sat
isfy their needs with minimum amount Of
labor; that thus the supply of agricultural prod
ucts has been kept at minimum, and that con-
sequently supply from outside is necessary 10
meet any unusual demand. He believes-and
he believes that the isthmian public believes
that the local merchants have been making ex-
cessive profits. which fact will be proved when
the commissariats are established He argues
however that competition does not kill, but
rather stimulates trade, and SO he p~p>acts tie
