THE NEW CONGRESS-.

The 59th Congress assembled yesterday with
large Republican majority, in which it is impos-
sible not to take satisfaction as an evidence OF
the peoples trust in the party and its policies,
but which from other points Of view is not With
out its disadvantages. Speaker Cannons short
address acknowledging his deserved reelection
after promising faithful and impartial perform
ance of duty on his part justly enforced upon
the minds OF the members their duty to attend
to business and make the session success.
It not infrequently happens in legislative bodies
that a small majority is really more competent
to transact business than very large one,
because under greater sense of responsibility.
When there are many votes to spare individual
members feel free to absent themselves or devote
their energies to the promotion of personal pro-
grammes it being quite safe to assume that the
great public measures will be taken care of by
somebody else. The result often is frittering
away of strength. Against this danger the men,
bers of the present Congress should be especially
on their guard. The session has been looked for
ward to by the people as of great Importance
Matters of profound public interest demand at
tention This is the first opportunity to carry
out the mandate Of the people expressed in the
election Of President Roosevelt. The last session
was short, and it was possible to do little more
than deal with routine business. Moreover, the
members held over, and so the real legislative
work expected by the country has been post
poned until now
That work should now be taken UP earnestly
and diligently Congress should get over the
habit of wasting the first six weeks of the ses-
sion Anxiety for real work on vital issues was
so strong that the President long inclined
10 call an extra session, even for few weeks, to
hasten matters secure the appointment Of COM
mittees and enable Congress TO make ready for
prompt action at the regular session. He yielded
that point to the convenience of members and
they in turn should now do their part to secure
in their own way the momentum which they did
not care to acquire by assembling earlier

e,,;,, NAV deserve the attention of the depart
mont If railroad requires the large shippers
in general to settle their freight bills once
week and allows a great trust to settle only once
in two months, it thereby makes most slgnli,-
rant discrimination against the competitors OF
tbo+ 4rus+ The interest on the cost of two
months shipments Of a large factory may amount
to hundreds or even thousands Of dollars, and
the two months leeway allowed TO the favored
simmer may mean that he can do given amount
of business on a much smaller capital than his
competitor.
Mr. Moody suggests that the way to cure dis
elimination is TO give the Interstate Commerce
Commission, or some such body, power to en-
force for all a rate given In secret to the few.
Such discrimination can often be shown as fact
when responsibility for it could not be forced
home to anybody in particular under the Eik1ns
act The Attorney General says:
If the power, upon complaint. to fix future
maximum rate and put it into effect within a
reasonable time. subject to appeal to the courts
should be given to administrative BODY
created by Congress, a, weapon against discrlnl-
inatory practices much more potent than any
now available would be put into the hands or
the government. Upon proof that lower rate
had been given to some preferred shipper, the
body clothed with the. power to fix future maxi
mum rate might we'll determine that the rate
which the railroad could afford TO give to the pre-
ferred shipper 1t could afford to give to all snip
I,ers IN like situation Such finding, it could be
Tredicted with certainty the courts upon appeal
would not reverse. for better evidence of the
legality and Justice of the rate thus fixed could
be found than in the action of the carrier itself
It would be difficult for the carrier to MAINTAIN
that rate actually charged by 1t was conhsca-
tory unjust.
There is a great deal of good sense in this
argument Such system would make the rail-
roads themselves the most efficient instruments
for the abolition of discrimination If the Inter
state Commerce Commission on finding what was
the actual rate given to any shipper no matter
how much disguised or how successful an eva
sion of the Elkins act could enforce that rate In
favor of the general public the railroads would,
for the maintenance Of their own revenues, be
forced to stop all favoritism.

4 CURE FOR REB4TEs.

It is frequently said that the real evil of in-
terstate transportation is not high rates but dis
elimination, and therefore that there is no need
for rate legislation. but only for the enforce
rnent OF the criminal law Those who have been
unable to see the usefulness Of any measure Civ
ing the Interstate Commerce Commission power
TO fix maximum rate after hearing as an in
strument to cure secret discrimination may get
soue light from Attorney General AIoody's an
nual report.
The Attorney General gives an account of the
proceedings of the department under the Elkins
act and says that in all cases in which evidence
has been furnished of violation of this law ap-
Dropriate action has been taken but ii has great
difficulty in securing the evidence Discrimination
is q secret crime commonly known only to the
shipper and the railroad officials in such posi-
tive form as TO sustain prosecution. The rail
roads profess the greatest willingness 10 assist
in aboiishng the evil practice but uniformly de
cline to give the one aid essential TO that end
namely. information respecting actual indulgence
in the practice The favored shipper, the
other hand, declines 10 betray his confederate.
The department offers immunity to either Of
fender who viii testify against the other. but
they commonly hang together The Attorney
General therefore concludes that unless the evils
of discrimination are 10 go Oh. some remedy
which reaches deeper than the present law must
be found. Money payments of rebates have largely
diminished. bat the evidence before the depart
lnent, far as it goes, tends to show that,
though clothed and disguised by various devices,
the practice of giving one shipper preference
over another in like situation still continues in
substance. The private car preference is famil-
lar. So, too is the traffic agreement by which a
shipper owning few miles of siding receives a
liberal allowance for the transportation OF his
goods ever those tracks Another scheme less

WELCOME RArvs IN CALIFORNIA.

In California most of the precipitation on
which the prosperity Of the fruit growers and
other farmers depends comes during the cooler
months OF the year. A dispatch to The Tribune
SAYS that until few days ago drouth had pre-
vailed for several weeks in the central and
northern parts of the state. Now, however, there
Is promise of something like an average rainfall
Whether the change in the situation was in any
manner related to that which was observed in
New-York and New-England almost simultane-
ously it would be hard to determine, but there
is at least the same reason on the Pachc coast
as on the North Atlantic seaboard for hopeful
ness When once a single deviation from the
route of previous storms puts an end to a long
dry spell" there is a tendency on the part OF
succeeding disturbances to follow the latest prece
dent
Already the southern portion of California is
said to have received more rain than fell there
I'D TO the same date last season. The fact pos
sesseS much interest aside from the assurance it
affords to agriculturiSts. In accordance with
q bargain which was doubtless inspired by the
deficient rainfall of 10000, professional rain
maker operated in that region year ago. lie
received his fee because the precipitation hap
pened to exceed the limits of his contract. No
trained meteorologist, however believed that the
mans apparatus and methods had the slightest
Influence; and such other persons as may have
had any faith in the system will now perhaps
take notice of the fact that Southern California
IS getting more rain without the .rainmaker's'
assistance than it received last winter with it.
In the last issue of "The United States Month
" Weather Review was printed a table Of
figures showing the rainfall at Los Angeles for
the last twenty-efght years 1t illustrates in
convincing fashion the extreme variability of the
climate there in that particular. In six seasons
the precipitation exceeded twenty inches once
f0 incl In 0fh fhpr re
it was less than nine inches, the lowest record
being only 553 inches Differences like these
might justly have been interpreted as an indica-
ton that the unfavorable season of 10000
would be succeeded by one which was more pro-
pitious; and it was. although last winters pre-
Cipitation (19.35 inches) was scarcely more than
the average for a quarter of century.

ARTIFICIAL REFRIGERATION.

The meeting of the Society of Refrigeratirg
Engineers in New-YOrk City this week dl-
rects attention to set Of professional men
whose duties have found a rapidly increasing
scope in the last twenty-five or thirty years.
Inasmuch as cold is an efficient preservative OF
food ice has long been regarded as something
more than q luxury 1t is almost much a
necessity in the household for six months of the
year as milk is for the whole twelve. Harvest
ing and marketing 1t have given employment to
thousands of workmen for years. Originally,
the natural article was the sole resource of the
consumer but the means having been devised
for producing it artifcially, and thereby insur-
ING greater purity, new and important INDUS
try has grown up. simultaneously with the de-
velopment of this practice has come that of cold
storage in special warehouses. For the latter
purpose it has been necessary to supplement with
nunps the mechanism which lowers the tenn
perature of a fluid, as to force it through a
system of pipes, and also to provide apparatus
for regulating the temperature of the storage
rooms automatically In the evolution of diff
ferent types of machinery devoted to this SER
vice high degree of engineering skill has been
demanded and has been exercised
One of the recent advances in the art of re-
frgerati0n is the designing of small plants for
hotels and restaurants. These can be utilized
both for cold storage and for the manufacture
of the little ice actually demanded on the tables.
Other equipments are coming into use which
make ii possible to dispense with ice altogether.
These are particularly well adapted to service
for drug store soda water fountains. the neces-
sary power being derived from electric motors,
which can be installed in any building having a
supply of current for lighting, and which are
said to be economical as well as convenient
Hitherto little has been accomplished toward
relieving the discomfort which results from
summer heat Currents of chilled air have been
forced into large auditoriums in n few instances,
but no application of the system has yet been
made to private houses. Pipe lines for a whole
town have repeatedly been projected and In
theory they should be able TO serve flats apart
ment houses and private residences, as well as
