I'm any event I believe the act of
1894 will be upheld and the citizens have
undoubtedly gained great advantage
in being recognized as interested par
ties in the suit
Other lines are interested in what Mr.
Henderson calls IAN equitable account
ing of receipts" and in the event of
the court requiring an arrangement diff
ferent from the one now in vogue, the
order may have far-rea aching effect.

How Dewey Cut the Red Tape

The recurring prominence given
the name and fame of Admiral Dewey
with the annual return of May day
the date of his Manila bay triumph
has recalled story of the man which
Captain Bradford, former chief of the
bureau of equipment in the navy de-
partment, is telling: 1t was before
that now famous fight In the Philip
pine waters had been pulled OF"
though Dewey was in the Pacific in
command of the Asiatic squadron. 1t
seems he was In need of coal, but
instead of writing TO Washington In
regard to the matter, he simply pur-
chased what he needed-and Captain
Bradford says that ofiicialdom WIS
impressed by the number of tons pur-
chased rather than by the fact of tn ,
unauthorized action in itself.
$50 cabled him." continues the
story teller. 81 asked: why did you
buy SO much coal?' Whatever he may
have been charging up for fuel, how
ever, he certainly was not putting his
government to heavy expense for
cable tolls, for just as soon as that
message could get out there and an
answer get back, was informed:
"To burn"

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention Of the
Order Of Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland, Oregon, resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted voic-
Ing their sentiments as to the effect
Of proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions "indorse the attitude of
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities,
and commend the attitude of the
heads Of American Railways, who,
with practical unanimity have Joined
with the president on this question"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the "inadvisability OF legis-
lation vesting in the hands Of COM
mission power over railway rates,
now lower by far in the United
States than In any other country"
because such regulation would result
In litigation and confusion and in
evitably tend to an enforced reduc-
tion in rates, irrespective of the ques-
tion Of the ability of the railroads to
stand the reduction, especially in view
Of the increased cost of their supplies
and materials" They further protest
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because "the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea OF
American jurisprudence, ina smuch as
1t contemplates that single body
cha11 haun thu riohf tn i'm a
indict, try, condemn and then enforce
its decisions at the cost of the car
riers, pending appeal, which is mani
festly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation il any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation "is the
result Of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and
development Of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value Of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against leg
islation adverse to their interests,
they point out the fact that "the
freight rates of this country average
only two per cent Of the cost of arti-
cles to the consumer, thus making the
freight rate so Insignificant factor
in the selling price that numerous
standard articles are sold at the same
price In all parts Of the country"

At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines, held
In New York June 9Th, all lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials, II
was decided, beginning with the regu-
lar summer change, Sunday, June
18th, to quicken the speed of the
Twentieth Century Limited" so as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead of
twenty hours, the New York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years, and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago in twenty
hours with their Exposition Flyer"
for the one hundred and eighty days
OF the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago In 1893, twelve years ago.
The New York Central Lines make
the point that the New York Central
has had In service the Empire State
Express" which has been the fastest
train in the world for It's distance,
H1O tcSH years, HdNlUS
held the worlds record for that time,
and for three years and 180 days hav-
ing held the worlds record for a
thousand mile train in twenty hours
The proposed schedule Of eighteen
hours Is simply the extension Of the
time of the Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo to Chicago, the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo
On this new schedule, the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 p. m, arriving
Grand Central Station, New York.
at $3.50 next morning, and returning,
will leave New York $3.50 p. m, reach
ing Chicago $3.50 a. m. following day.
At the same time, the Lake Shore
Limited" will be quickened up an
hour, and will make the time from
Chicago to New York in 20 hours in.

m, by the Lake Shore and arriving
New York $50 y. M, by the New

The Southwestern Limited" train,
No. il. which now leaves Grand Cen
trail station at l p. m, will, beginning
June 18th, leave at 2:04 p. m, saving
an hour to an hour and half on the
present journey to st. Louis and Gin

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1905.

CARDINAL GIBBON recently gave to
the public an extended interview rela-
tive to trusts, gratis and corporation
corruption. The salient points in the
interview were as follows:
Corporation corruption is a fixed
evil that we must reckon with. Large
collections of money or associations of
large numbers of men with money are
sure to breed corruption.
The public exposures Of public men
are public benefactions.
Wrong doing or crime is sure to get
itself found out, and publicity is the
great punishment that stares it in the
face.
The great trouble maker to this
country is money.
The great Offset to that evil is the
American inclination to spend it rapid
ly.
Americans are not misers, thank
God.
there are large accumlations of money
in this country that are very much
tainted
The possession of wealth is an isola.

Down in Missouri, lunkhead of a
state Judge has banded down deci-
sion to the effect. that inmates in the
soldiers home in that state have no
right to exercise the right of suffrage
for the reason, that the constitution of
the state has a provision taking the
right of franchise from the inmates of
poor houses. As the national govern
ment pays very large proportion OF
the expense for the care and keeping
OF the old veterans in such institutions
in consideration of services rendered
during the four yerrs of the civil war,
and are really the honored guests of
the government and not paupers, the
decision of the judge in denying them
the right to vote is an insult to the
patriotic sentiments of the people and
a travesty on justice. The Judge who
made the decision is probably an enc
my to the men who saved the nation
and deserves to be vigorously kicked
by donkey and the writer would like
to perform the Service.

Something Country Wear Trousers

TN taking trips on foot through the
mountains of Europe, ladies, to in
crease their freedom of motion and
minimize the dangers on narrow trails,
frequently wear costumes amazingly
like those worn by the male guides.
The tourist in the Alps sees nothing
conspicuous in this get-up. Once the
valley is reached, however, these
women speedily don their skirts.
Among the native women. however,
trousers play an entirely different role.
These women work in the fields to a
great extent. They have long appre-
ciated the fact that the length and
fullness of a woman's skirt forms a de-
cided hindrance to their movements
when work has to be done in deep,
dewy grass, or cattle followed oven
steep paths, or the necessary duties at
tended to in closely packed stalls. In
the hilly country districts of the can
ton of Valois, in German Wallis, the
women wear a peculiar kind of kniek-
erbockers TO enable them to climb the
mountains and go after their missing

wearing trousers as working clothes
but ideas of emancipation are never
dreamed of. 1t never enters the head
OF one of these women to have her
hair cut like a mans, for she has a
woman's heart and soul and has no de-
sire to be or seem anything else.
In other places, too, there are to be
found women who wear costumes for
the convenience of their calling, even
for the exigencies of their existence.
The strong, stout stalwart fisherwo-
men OF the Island of Marken, off the
coatst of Holland, and about an hour
from Amsterdam, wear pants. They
are honest homely bodies, and they
will stand and converse with a
stranger, selling their fish, without an
idea of impropriety and without the
faintest trace of hesitancy in their
manner
In Russia there is a fire brigade of
the finest and prettiest ladies' OF the
town who always wear pants when at
work at a fire. In fact, the trousers
form an important part of their uni
form, and a useful part, to Judge from
the alacrity with which they get to a
fire, unhook their ladders. raise them to
the burning building and run up and
down them.
