Why a Mileage Basis.

In President A. j. Earrings art
icle in Harper's Weekly for May
20 on the subject, "The Effect Of
Government Rate making up on
Internal Commerce. he expresses
his opinion that the government
could make freight rates only on
a mileage basis.
In South Dakota, the question
whether proposed legislation would
prove disastrous to state or not,
hinges entirely upon the question
whether the rates established by a
commission would be on the dis
tance tariff principle, for it is OBJ
vious that South Dakota would be
shut off from the markets, if the
rates were esta blished on that
principle. With 1900 to the sea-
board from Dakota's border, the
state would stand little chance in
the markets Of the world as against
producing districts one-half or less
as far from the seaboard:
"That government-made freight
rates will be adjusted on a dis
tance principle-that is, a charge
of so much per mile for every ton
Of freight hauled regardless Of
commercial conditions or require
ments-may be regarded as in
evitable. This is shown, not only
by the history of state regulation,
in our own and other countries,
but in the opinion of lawyers, by
the constitution of the United
States itself.
''In several of the states rates
have been fixed by direct act of
the legislature. or by orders of
state commission. In most of
these states the schedule of rates
is required to be on distance
basis, and in all of them the tend
ency has been for distance tariffs.
Human nature is so constituted
that it is much more easy to solve
the question of equality between
towns and communities and in.
terests, by giving them all exactly
the same rate per ton per mile,
than to attempt the difficult task
of adjusting rates to the satisfac-
tion of all. The result is that
commissions, which have the pow
er to make rates, find themselves
| constantly drifting toward dis
tance tariff, in the hope Of avoid.
ing the criticisms of towns, cities
| and regions which are demanding
their favor"

How Hufnming Birds Hatch Out,

How Humming Birds Hatch Out,
William Lowell Finley, the new
naturalist-p photographer, writes as
follows in the Country Calender
for June, the new outdoor maga-
zine by the Review OF Reviews
Book Company:
cat first, the little capsules of
eggs had wonderfully delicate
flesh tint of Pink. Then, one
morning, I stood over the nest
like Thomas of old. Someone had
replaced the eggs with two tiny
bugs! It might have been u mira
Gle. There was a tiny knob on the
end Of each little bug that looked
as if it might be the beginning of a
bill. Each little creature resemb'- :
ed a black bean more than a bird,
for each possessed a light streak Of
brown down the middle of the
back. They couldn't be beans for
they were pulsing with life in a
lumpy sort of way. | went fire.
quently to see them. In a few
days the little nestlings began to
fork out all over with tiny black
horns, until they would have
looked like prickly pears had they
been the right color. At the next
stage, each tiny horn began to
blossom out into a spray of brown
down, the yellow at one end grew
into bill, the black skin cracked
a trihe and showed two eyes. II
was hard to see just how these
black bugs could turn to birds, but
day after day the miracle worked

ming birds"

general power to establish rates,
but only to make corrections
where existing rates were 'sunrea-
sonable or unjustly discrimina-
tory" Even in these cases any
parties aggrieved would have the
right Of appeal to a court to be es.
tablished for that purpose. Under
this system a grievence could be
corrected and final decision
reached in the courts some time
within the natural life Of the per-
son aggrieyed, which is more than
can De expected under the present
system. If the interests Of the
railroad companies are not purely
selfish; if they are really striving
to adjust their rates 50 as to pro-
mote the best interests of the peo-
pie whom they serve, and until
good evidence is produced to the
contrary we have no right to
charge them with doing otherwise,
and if the best interests Of the
country require certain discrimina-
tions and fexibilities in rates that
fact would be as palapable to the
interstate commerce commission,
or to the courts as to the railroad
companies, hence we see no reason
why such flexible rates could not
be maintained under the one sys-
tenn rs we'll as the other.

garding his position about again
making the race TO- congress. He did
not care to speak for publication. ard
gave no information that he would
either accept or decline a nomination.
He said that he had given the mat
tdr no thought as yet. and preferred
to await developments. 1t Is known,
however, that Mr.. Walk er's friends
would like to see him take another
shy at the affair. and believe that,
with the presidential election out of
the way and the republican nominee
robbed of the strong support given
by the personality of MIR. Roosevelt,
he would put up a much warmer
fight than last fall, with much great
er chance of winning.
= Other democrats mentioned for the
nomination are Senator John j.
Cornwell, late democratic nominee
for governor, who IS very strong
man Col. S. P. Chew, of Charles
Town, and Col. John T. McGraw.
The whole question of the nominees
is, of course. as yet in the air. with the
outcome a matter of speculation and
much interest, There is a strong anti
Dayton faction in the republican
ranks, owing to local troubles in sew
eral counties, and it is expected that
the Dayton organization will disin-
tegrate, and that there will be very
lively free-for-all fight for the nomi-
nation, with the Berkeley county man
standing good show as any one.
The date for the special election will
be set by Governor Dawson, and
under the law the election must be
held not earlier than 30 days not later
than 70 days from the time vacancy
occurs.

Gruesome Discovery Back Of the
Shops Sunday Morning
MAN KILLED AT SLEEPY CREEK
Body Torn to Fieces BY the Cars
and Gathered Up and Buried
In a Tomato Crate.

Harry GRAY, colored man employed
at the Standard quar- les ut this place.
was found dead Sunday morning in
tie Tuscarora creek at point back OF
The Baltimore u Ohio shops. When
discovered the body was partly snb-
merged in the shallow water. the head
and shoulders being upon the bank
aud the lower portion of the BODY in
water.
At tirst foul play was suspected.
owing to the fact that tie water In
he creek at that point is not deep
enough to drown child, and Coroner
Coston vas summoned. The coroner
summoned DIR. Mccormick, and an in-
sestigation was made. An examina-
tinn OF ihe BODY disclosed quantity of
water In the lungs and stomach, and
the coroner decided that the man had
come to his death by drowning and
that an inquest was unnecessary.
1t was learned that Gray had been
seen in that nei0hbo,hood at a late
hour Saturday night in an intoxicated
condition, and the natural supposition
is that he wandered down back of the
shops " hile helplessly drunk, fell into
the water and was unable to get
out, dying there. The fact that he
was only partly submerged Ia explain
ed by the fact that the water in the
creek fell about foot during the
night, receding far enough to expose
big head and shoulders.
The report that the man lad been
murdered gained ground from the fact
that piece of waste string had drifted
about his ankles, giving the impress
sion at first glance that his feet had
been tied together. There were no
marzs upon the body exeeUt one or
two slight scratches upon the flce,
which were probably caused bv the
fall into the water.
Gray was aged about 30 years and
unmarried. He lived with his mother
and sister in this city. The body was
placed in charge of Undertaken WHEN.
who prepared it for burial.
STRUCK BY AN ENGINE. !
An unknown man, supposed to have
been workman employed on the con
struction work of the Wabash, was
struck aud instantly killed at Sleepy
Greek on Saturday afternoon by Balti-
more & Ohio passenger train No. 5
running at the rate of so miles an hour.
The. man was walking along the
tracks ana failed to hear the whistle
of the flyer. The train was stopped
and the members OF the crew vent
back and gathered up the remains of
the man, which were scattered along
the ties..for distance of quarter of
mile. The remains were placed in
a tomato crate aud buried yesterday
bv Baltimore 81 Ohio employees at
Sleepy Greek.
Asooincidence is the fact that the
man who claimed that he was fellow
woFkmen of the three men killed a
few DAYS ago at Evitts Greek, was
killed by engine No. 1,473, the same
engine which killed the ether men.
There was no clue to the mans
identity.
