Long Distance Trolleys.

The electric trolley is working a
revolution in transportation, and if the
steam roads do not soon get an cleo
trio base 1t bids fair to cut their busi-
ness down materially. In Ohio, for
example, electric roads extend from
the Ohio river to Lake Erie, and they
are operated in full competition with
steam roads. They are equipped with
motors and cars for the handling OF
freight traffic, and sleeping cars are
no longer a novelty on them. Their
swift and frequent schedules add daily
to their popularity and use in the
more crowded states. A line five hun
bred miles long, between Chicago and
Cleveland, is to be completed before
snow flies again. and the company
that is building 1t will control includ-
ing branches, fully a thousand miles
of track. North of Chicago a line is
nearly completed to Green Bay, Wis,
and south of Chicago the chief towns
will soon be linked together, all hav-
ing a Chicago outlet.
In New York state the New York
Central is meeting the new rivalry by
buying parallel trolley lines and opec
ating them as feeders of its steam ser
vice. In this way electricity can be
postponed, but its onward march can
not be permanently stayed. The cleo
trio trolley is gaining ground daily,
and after a while it will make itself
felt in the south outside of the strictly
suburban service to which it is now
limited.
Nothing is final in this world of
change and transition. The trolley
may supersede steam, but the trolley
car tied to wire, is by no means
ideal. by no means final. The trolley
will supplement the steam roads well
down into the present century, and
the locomotive shops will not be
closed speedily although they may be
able to see afar off their finish.

Indictment of Mr.. LOOMS.

Assistant Secretary Loomis of the
State Department was formerly min
lister to Venezuela He proceeded
there Minister Bowen, and 1t is
charged that while acting there as
the representative of the United
States he received a check of $4,000
from the asphalt company which has
dor such to stir up trouble between
two republics. The New York
Herald goes on to state the other
charges against Mr.. Loomis, as fol-
lows:
"Other charges that have been made
against Mr.. LOOMS are that while min
lister at Venezuela he purchased for
trifiing sum claim for 10000 boivars COR
$4,000 against the Venezuelan government
and then used his influence as minister to
collect the full amount from the govern

that one-half the money should be paid

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
A Peculiar Condition.


The military is guardingI t 0 negro
prisoners at Decatur and here is con-
dition that seems to me to be very much
out of reason in a civilized country" re-
marked a city official yesterday as the
local military company was preparing to
take the train for Decatur, where they
went to guard two negroes who are to be
tried this week In that city for as
sault and murder.
Here are two negroes who have been
duly indicted by a grand jury and a
speedy trial arranged The law amply pro-
vides for the punishment of these Grim
inals, and there is no doubt that justice
can and will be done if the law is al
lowed to take it's course, and yet public
sentiment has made it necessary to take
the precaution of enforcing the eXecu-
ton of the law by military force.
"In this case the people have not the
excuse usually urged for mob law. There
is no woman to be dragged into court and
exposed to the unpleasant publicity of a
courts investigation. The victim is dead.
If the negroes are guilty the law will
punish them and in due course of time.
What argument can be made for mob vio-
ence in this case? Absolutely none. The
people should be patient and allow the
law to avenge crime

CIRCUS WITHOUT A PARADE?
Not for Country Town, Says Show
man, and Cites Example.

From the Washington Post
1.-THE circus managers may cut out the
street parade in the big cities" said a
man who has had experiences with all
sorts of shows, but the one day and one
night stands will never turn out as well
if they don't get something thrown in
The parade is what makes the people in
the country leave their plows in the field.
This idea of cutting out the parade re-
minds me of the Indians ON the Upper
Missouri River and the steamboats, that
used to carry the calliope.
II suppose you've heard a calliope I
never knew, honestly, why a white man
should stand still when he heard one,
especially If he could find the woods But
there was something in it for the Indian.
l have always had an idea that the man
who conceived a steam calliope was an
Indian.
when the Upper Missouri River steam
boats put on the calliope the Indians
cainped on the hills to hear the internal
machine. The experiment proved a fail
tre to the boatmen. Unless a man was
forced to make landing he would wait
for a steamer that had no steam music.
After one season the calliope was sent to
the funk heap.
Then the Indians rose. I was buying
mules for the government In the towns
along the river, and met Indians every
day. They had a notion that because 1
was in business for the government 1
could make rain or dry weather. One old
buck who lived back of Omaha came to
me and said that If the palefaces who had
made toots on the river did not foot again
he would fill up the Big Muddy with
snags and stop navigation.
''He further threatened that his tribe of
young warriors would shoot flint arrow
heads into the hulls of boats which did
not too. He said that his squaws de-
pended upon the calliope-he did not call
it a calliope-to soothe their paposes.
Unless the government made the steam
boats toot the Indians would burn the
grasses of the pralre and stop cattle from
grazing and start a forest fire. About
that time the Indians were sent farther
west and nothing happened.
"The country towns, however, will do
something to the circus that doesn't put

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
MATTERS OF THE WORLD

1 7 is about time to quit reading infiam-
matory novels which treat of the
Civil war in way to keep the Old
fires smouldering and old animosities
alive. The subpject has been threshed
over by scores of writer's until it has been
worked to FRAGILE, but there is no ap-
parent limit to the output of novels with
such a theme. Whatever may have been
the grievances of those days, and how
ever much the south may have been I'M
derstood such matters belong to the
past where they should be permitted to
rest There is no rhyme or reason in their
being stirred up every year by some
rabid novelist who advertises himself and
his book by a rank display of prejudice.
Some charming stories have been told
by southern authors in which the days
of the Civil war were pictured faithfully.
These books lack the concealed venom
that has made other and inferior works
the talk of the day People will continue
to read sectional rubbish" which keeps
thinking folk in a stew of controversy,
but there are a few who are Disguised
with the so-called popular novels about
the south that make southern people par
agons of virtue and northern people fiends
incarnate. Such books are almost as
wearisome as the northern novel that
scores the south and lauds the north.
What we want are books that are sane
and normal yet full of power books that
are free from the improbable characters
and impossible tommyrot that sets every
body by the ears.

Gushed Five Months.

After gushing from 10000 to. $4,000
barrels of oil day for five months
and two days, the Wilkins well at
Jennings, La, has ceased to flow. The
whilom gusher was the greatest oil
well that this country has ever pro-
duced. In the course of its career
as a gusher it produced 100000 bar
rels of oil.
1t was the first of American oil
wells, but it never approached the
Droojba well of Baku in Russia. That
gusher began with a yield of $4,000
barrels a day, throwing oil and sand
two hundred feet high, and the
Droojba well is still producing oil. Its
product during the first three months
of its productive activity could not be
controlled or stored, and in that way
a vast amount of oil was lost.
The Wilkins well stands, however,
as the chief gusher of this country,
and its gushing was maintained until
it had produced for its owners a vast
amount of oil. The well belongs, and
and has from the outset belonged, to
half dozen individuals, who did not
even go to the trouble of organizing
a corporation.

Insurance Rebates.

Rebates on the part of railroads arc
bad enough, but rebates granted by
life insurance companies are inhu-
man as we'll as unjust. 1t appears
from recent disclosures that rebates
are a part of the system OF the Equita
BILE Life, and presumably the Equita-
BILE is not alone in the practice.
The rebates granted by Mr.. Tarbell
in Chicago practically offered to those
who took out 100000 policies insur-
-ance almost without cost, for rebate
of 95 per cent leaves but little of a
premium to be paid by the insured.
Under the rebate system in life inssr-
ance the carrying of 100000 policies
is imposed upon those who take out
and with great self-denial keep up pre-
miums on one thousanddollar poll
cies. The poor are thus made to
carry the rich as "deadheads."
II New York state permits the main
tenance of the rebate system in life
insurance, 1t deserves to lose the con-
troll of such insurance altogether, and
the people are in no mood to submit
to such injustice and robbery any
longer. Vastly preferable are railroad
rebates, for they do not directly relate
to widows and orphans. Life insur-
ance rebates are simply vlllainous.

Mayor Dunne's Bio Task.

The strike in Chicago was inherited
against his wish by Mayor Dunno, for
it is primarily the strike of the gar
ment workers, who are fearfully un-
derpaid, besides having a host of other
grievances. The women garment
workers of Chicago do not receive
better wages than do similar workers
in overcrowded European cities, and
their numbers in Chicago are very
great. The male garment workers in
Chicago are not properly paid.
The transfers union came to the
aid of the garment workers in a SYM
pathetic strike, and the employers
association and the transfers union
were lined up for a severe struggle,
and still are in that position, consti-
tuting anew the old battle and labor
and capital, with which we are famil-
lar, and which will be fought over
and over before generations yet I'M
born.
The sympathetic strike is again I'M
der discussion. 1t is severely crit
icised, but after all labor and capital
are alike In indulging in sympathy.
All employers are apt to think to-
gether il they do not act together,
and the impulse is sympathy. The
transfers union is the only organized
body of labor that has come to the re-
lief of the distressed garment workers,
but no doubt all the other unions are
with them in sympathy They wish
the garment workers success, but they
do not go beyond sympathy. Sympa-
thetic strikes are but sympathy in the
concrete, and one side INDUCES in 1t
as much perhaps as the other.
The regrettable feature of the Chi
cago strike consists in the recrudes-
cence of government by injunction.
An United States circuit court Judge
has gone over to the employers asso-
citation. and is doing his best to de-
feat the cause of the garment workers.
He will accomplish nothing. He may
add to the turmoil and trouble 1t
had been hoped that government by
injunction had run it's race, but It
still survives In the city In which II
was originated, and 1t bids fair to
aggravate the issue that labor and
capital are engaged in settling as best
they can.

1t may be amusing to the owner of a

This negro with one or two drinks OF
pop skull imagines that he is being pur-

his murder, Under the spell he runs like
deer over fields vacant lots and woods,
leaping fences and bitches that would
balk the ordinary individual
when we caught him Lest night he
was wet with perspiration and hyster-
ically stated that he had been running
from those negroes for three hours, and
from his condition 1t was easy to see
that he hal undergone powerful exertion.
He was painting like an animal run to
earth and begged us to protect him from
his pursuers
He was eager to be carried to the

patrol wagon when it arrived, all the
while vowing that the negroes who had
pursued him for three hours were just
around the corner ready to murder him.

VALUE AND VIRTUE OF
GOAT NOT APPRECIATED

living under the most discouraging cir
cumstances. Professor Thompson, admit
ting the hardness and beautiful optimism
of the goat, yet denies that the goat will
eat old tin cans. He says the can-eat-
ing proclivity of the goat is wicked
invention of the comic papers. But the
got will live on next to nothing, will
work hard for it, and will give a wonder
full return for its little cost of keep. The
first cost of the milch goat is very low,
and two goats will supply whole family
throughout the year with nourishing
food. The goat is of kindly and altru-
istic nature. She is the best foster
mother" and will readily adopt in-
fants, calves lambs. colts or pigs"
The enthusiastic eulogist of the goat
notes curious custom in many Euro
pean towns where the owners of herds
of goats drive the does through the
streets from door to door" and draw
the quantity of milk ordered lin the
presence of the customer" So great IL
human depravity and the tendency to
adulterate all over the world.
From this brief and incomplete state
ment of the goats virtues, it must ap-
pear that Americans have been remiss;
but the goat is capable of performing
sociologic and patriotic service which
throws her purely economic functions
into the shade. We quote from the
bulletin:
so long as the workingman is happy
in the possession of a business. has
small bit of ground to call his own and
has a profitable domestic animal. just
so long will he be an opponent of social
strife. a careful provider for his family
and an adherent of some recognized
creed
Stop. We reformers and patriotic So
cieties and good government clubs. and
regard the milch goat; go to the goat
thou anarchist or atheist; keep goat
and stand back of the social order.

General Lees Sons.

in Washington last Friday and whose
funeral will take place in Richmond next
Thursday, left two sons and both of
them are officers in the regular army"

general. The elder of General Lees sons
is Fitzhugh and the younger is George

called at the White House to pay his re-

about to take his leave the President
said, General you have a son named
Fitzhugh, | believe. How would you like

General Lee told the President that
he would be very glad to have his son in
the army. Well them said the Presi-

ciated the compliment very highly. es-
pecially in view of the fact that young
Fitzhugh had had no military training.
Later on George Lee was appointed a
lieutenant. He had been a cadet at West
Point for year. He resembles his IA

General Lee was noted for his horse
manship. AS cadet he made great
reputation in the cavalry school and no
one loved fiery steed more than he.
