Making of Rail Road Rates.

CHICAGo.-The decided stand
against government rate making
taken by the National Association OF
Manufactures at its recent Atlanta
convention has attracted the atten-
tion of commercial leaders in this sec
tion. The manufacturers not only
ignored the ESch-T Townsend bill in
their resolutions on the subject Of
rates, but they also plainly intimated
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has not exhausted the means
already at its disposal for the correc-
tion OF what evils may exist.
Local delegates report that the
gathering was well satisfied with the
present system Of fixing rates. 1t
defeated all attempts to drag in a
declaration favorable to radical
legislation, and would only commit
itself on the subject Of rebates and the
necessity of preventing them, thereby
endorsing the stand Of the railroads,
who, speaking through Mr.. Samuel
Spencer, president of the Southern
Railway, their chosen representative,
have said: sin a word-stop ilIegaI
abuses drastically, but avoid actor
which will affect savings put into rail
roads in good faith; avoid Legislation
which might impair service and efi
cheney and reduce the wage Of oul
10000 0 employees, for to the wage
earners alone among that number nov
go over half OF the gross expenses O
the American railways"
The Manufacturers Associations re
solutions In full are as follows:
RESOLVED, That VIC favor the activ,
enforcement by the executive depart
ment Of the general government OF al
existing laws to prevent the giving o
acceptance Of rebates or special favor
Through whatever deviee) to or b!
favored shippers, and we call upon th'
Interstate Commerce Commission Il
apply all the remedies at their dispose
as provided by the original Interstat,
Commerce Act and the Elkins' AcI
amending the same.
RESOLVED, That, IL the existing law
for the detection and punishment o
the giving or acceptance Of such re
bates are insufficient in any respect
we favor the enactment Of such fur
ther Legislation as may be necessary
adequately to deal with the evil and
to secure this complete prevention.
RESOLVED, That, in order to carry 10
to effect the provisions Of the forego
ing resolutions, Congress should be ask
ed for a provision to be made for the
necessary examination OF the books Of
the railroad corporations somewhat
after the manner Of the national bank
examinations, for the purpose OF de
tecting and eliminating special favor!
and determinations against the small
or less favored shippers, and a pro
vision for adequate punishment fol

From Kansas City Journal
Missouri is not only furnishing the
the armies OF the world with mules,
but is supplying the United States
with horses, Captain Walter G. Short,
Of Fort Riley, has Just returned from
Mexico, Mo-, where he purchased for
the government 20 head of 2-year-old
thoroughbred saddle horses. The
horses have been received at the post
and are the finest bunch OF horses
that has ever been brought to the
post or this part Of the state. They
will be kept at the athletic park until
fall and will be used in the officers
class Of equitation. In that school
work the norses will be broken to walk
canter and trot, the officers in equita-
ton being such as to give the horses
this training. After the school work
has progressed to such a point that
the horses r thoroughly broken, the
horses will be sold to the officers if
they desire to buy them at the price
the government paid for them.

orlaln Of the MonoeoIe.

The proposal to permit the use OF
fpectacles to British soldiers is a re-
minder that from their prohibition
came the monocle. About a century
ago an army order was issued for.
bidding officers TO wear eyeglasses o.
spectAcles. But q short-sighted Of
hcer belonging to a crack regiment
had no mind to resign his commission
or stumble bllndly. and he invented
the single eyeglass. When called
to account by the authorities no
claimed that the monocle. being Of
