cussed his statement in language so
succinct and conclusion so unavoidable
that we reprint it as follows:
The Dispatch gave, in it's issue OF
Saturday, the main points of the argu-
ment made by President Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific, before the Elkins
committee. There was little left for
him by his predecessors in the line of
argument to say that is new. There
is little, aside from the conclusions he
draws, in his statements to dissent
from and there is much to agree with.
On the whole the argument is that of
a candid man who sees in the large his
own vocation and it's interests. 1t is
true that if, as he says, some kinds OF
competitions have been eliminated from
railway business, the competition OF
markets remains with their compulsion
upon rate makers and managers to bend
to it in making rates. Washington
humber, for instance, completes with
ours because it must have market
here and because it is better policy to
haul cars loaded, at small profit, than
to be hauling empties. Territorial
woods compete at tide water with those
of Argentina, and railway rates must
be made to let them meet it or there
would be no wool to haul East. But is
there any reason to expect that COM
mission would be oblivious to these
necessities? Has it not shown that it
is not in numerous cases.
"The present law" he said, as the
others have said before him, grants
ample power to regulate, to say what is
unfair or unjust, and if it were en-
forced fairly, and if the power now in
the hands of the interstate commerce
commission were used, much of the al
legged popular demand for giving the
power to fix the actaul rate would dis
appear" This statement is so fire.
quently made that it exhibits queer
concept of law and their relations to it
among railway managers. What is the
plain, unvarnished English of it?
"Make us obey the law. Until you do
we will disobey it. If you will only
force us to be law-abiding these COM
plants will cease" Suppose these
gentlemen would not wait to be forced;
suppose they voluntarily, like good citi-
zens, obey the law; would they not
themselves apply the soothing remedy?
While Mr.. Elliott was addressing
himself TO the question of federal law
he also touched upon a matter which is
under the curb of state law. He said,
speaking of the federal law against dis
elimination between persons, that II
would stop the making of preferential
arrangements for transportation of
passengers free or at reduced rates."
All Mr.. Elliott would have to do to stop
these preferences would, as the Dis
patch pointed out last winter, be to
obey the law of our state, which pro-
hibits the giving of preferences, includ-
ing those among passengers. He could
direct his general passenger agent to
issue no passes; he could recall those
including those given as a
courtesy" to legislators, state, city
and county officials. The law is plain,
simple, direct and unambiguous, and
violated. Suppose Mr.. ELL
lott begins obeying law here at home.

Pe-ru-na Cures and Prevents Catarrt

Any one who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of its victims. Peruna not only
cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds, and so
forth.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peru
ma, write at once to DR.. Hartman, CIV
ing full statement of your case and he
will be pleased to give you his valu-
able advice gratis.

All that day we spent in searching
around, but getting no clew. Who
ever the robber was, he had covered
his trail too well for us.
Night obliged us to give over the
search, and the lost nugget was the

another we dropped off to sleep.

1t was bright starlight outside, and
we saw Joe moving away toward a
cluster of oaks which stood about
forty rods off. We followed after him
as fast as we could, and got to the
trees almost as soon as he did. At
the foot Of one he stopped and bent
down, and pretty soon we saw him
draw something forth. For while he
seemed to be fondling it, then he put
it carefully back, and turning around,
| he went by us toward the camp. He
moved like one who had his eyes shut,
and both of us would have taken our
oath that he was fast asleep.

GINSENG CULTURE.
Sensible and Timely Warning Given
by Secretary Wilson.

Secretary Wilson very wisely tells
the farmers that ginseng culture is a
delusion and snare and advises them
to let it alone, says the Practical Farm
er. But the level-headed farmers do
not need to be warned against these
crops that some make furore over
every now and then. The men who
rush into a crop Of which they know
nothing are generally the men who are
unsuccessful with the crops they do
know something about. What we need
is not new crops, but better farm
ing with the old ones. The men who
are always ready to turn their atten-
ton to these odd crops that some one
tells them there is fortune in are
generally the men we cannot get to
attend the farmers institutes or to
take and read a farm paper. They
| find that farming as they have been
| trying to learn how to make farm
ing pay they imagine that by the grow
ing of some new thing they can re-
deem all the folly and waste of the
past.
1t has been well said that all the
ginseng that China imports could be
grown on one seventy -five-acre farm
If it grew as the promoters promise,
and what Is to be done with the crops
that are being planted and nursed
through a series of years, if they all
grow, 1t is hard to say. Doubtless
there are some making money out of
ginseng, but they are those who are
selling the roots and seed to those
who would seek fortune from the
sale of the roots to the Chinese. No
matter what rosy tales these people
get into the papers, we urge farmers
to stick at their farming with the
crops they are familiar with and let
those who want to get fleeced rush
into ginseng and other side crops that
simply interfere with good farming
and in the end probably will be, fail.

MAJOR ANDERSON

MAJOR ANDERSON render the fort"
was the reply of the commandant Maj.
Robert Anderson, to the messengers of
Beauregard. Il shall await the first
shot and If you do not batter me to
pieces, l shall be starved out in three
days"
There were at the time of the at
tack upon Fort Sumter no provisions
but barrel Of salt pork. But Maj.
Anderson had determined to fight 1t
out to the very last before he would
surrender
When his ammunition was so low
that his men could only fire once in
every ten minutes, and when he had
realized the total futility of his op-
position to the fire Of the confederates,
he agreed to surrender If all his men
should have the privilege of saluting
the flag, of taking it with them and
Of being placed on board the govern
ment vessels outside Charleston har-
Dor.
When the news of the fall of Fort
Sumter was carried through the land
the news Of the dogged courage of the
commandant of the fort was also car
ried; the noble determination of Robert
Anderson did as much for the cause Of
the nation as a half-dozen victories
for valor has ever been greater than
strategic ability and patriotism than
military prowess.

To make this forest masquerade
Summon even the solemn frs

CAMP GOOD WILL FAVORED.
Careful Medical Attention to Children
by City Physicians.


The Managers of Camp Good VIII say
the camp has been especially favored
throughout the present summer on account
Of the kindness shown by the physicians OF
Washington. All children before leaving
the city received careful medical inspection
and in case there were any evidences Of
disease or Of physical trouble which might
be dangerous to others, the doctor kindly
but emphatically encouraged the prospective
camper to return home until he had recov-
cred health. After examining the children
at the Office Of the committee the examin-
ing physician made arrangements about Wis
iting the party during the coming week at
Camp Good VIII, and regularly from We'd
nesday to Wednesday the same physician
attended the sick and bandaged up the
bruised feet and swollen hands.
The committee Is grateful also for the
thoughtfulness shown by the physicians in
bringing to the camp for use in emergen-
cies supplies Of bandages, medicines, etc.
