REDUCED FARE MAXIMUM

The reduction Of the maximum one
way fare TO 2ik cents a mile by the
Pennsylvania is one Of the most i'm
portant railroad changes announced in
a long while. Since it makes a lower
basis for through fares Il will neces-
sarily AFFECT all competitive trunk lines
between the east and the west, and in
directly their local rates. In any event
the initiative taken by the Penn
sylvania, the typical and greatest rail-
road system in the country, must have
powerful tendency in the direction
Of lower general maximum pas
senger charge.
The innovation comes as the logical
consequence of broad policy adopted
a few years ago by the Pennsylvania
when q series of permanent improve
ments was planned involving a pro-
digious outlay. The purpose in con-
struoting quadruple main lines, with
numerous relieving side lines and vast
terminals was to provide. not merely
for the natural increase of business,
but also for the larger volume of
travel and tonnage that would be pro-
duced by such reductions as the one
just announced.
Beyond question it must be clear to
the directing minds in the Transports
ton world that a larger volume OF
travel can be profitably carried on a
lower fare maximum than the one that
has so long been maintained, but two
circumstances have hitherto prevented
step in that direction. although the
average rate actually paid has been
somewhat reduced by special cOnces--
sions. In the first place, travel through
! increase of population and industrial
prosperity has pressed upon facilities
at least OF the great trunk lines. In
the second place, the carrier interests
we're certain to be slow to make radi
cal reduction so long as the public
showed no disposition to use compul
sion.
Moreover, sagacious railroad lead
ership can now hardly fail to realiz'
the fact that the free pass abuse Il
doomed to speedy abolition, relieving
the roads of burden as heavy to then
as the injustice was to non-pass users
The action of the Pennsylvania, it 4
safe to assume, merely starts a move
ment that is destined to become gen
eral at no distant day.

DUBIOUS ABOUT THE TARIFF ISSUE.
The effort of those democratic
statesmen who favor the paramountcy
Of the tariff issue to push 1t to the
front seems to be succeeding no
better than that of various other
groups who would have the coming
contest turn on one of half dozen
other issues. The more they ponder
the situation the less hopeful does a
tariff ripping program appear. There
are some congressional districts in
which the democratic party commands
an overwhelming majority and in
which 1t is safe no matter what it may
write in It's platform. But by far the
greater number of districts are not
like the Mississippi district represented
by John Sharp Williams. the advocate
OF tariff-ripping campaign, in which
there will be no republican candidate
and no republican ballot cast. but are
the debatable ground of free and in
dependent electorate.
The information that is reliably re-
ported to be coming in to the demo
cratic managers from the close dis
tricts indicates that the tariff issue. II
made pivotal, will be fatal and even
that not a few districts now repre-
sented by democrats will be lost to
them. Industrial conditions are SO
prominently satisfactory that party
| nj fp ef ri 20 Of thpn.. uyi11 iT11N
have uphill work.
The situation that thus confronts
democratic candidates whose. main
point is to secure election is so seriou:
as very likely to eliminate the tariff
also from this years contest as the
dominant question. What is wanted
is paramount issue" only that viii
not lose votes, If by hook or crook
such an issue can he invented.

BACHELORS AND sPINsTERs.
Some Reasons why They should Not
Longer So Continue.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
It would not be absolutely within the
bounds Of truth to say that the first an
nual convention OF the Associated Bach
elors and Spinsfers of Iowa, held at Forest
City on Wednesday. was a complete sue
cess
II might have been were IL not for GER
tain reasons. One Of these was the all too
apparent fact that many Of the spinsters
are young enough as yet to change their
minds. Another was that several of the
bachelors. who are really old enough to
know better, preferred TO sit with the
spinsters when they might have sat with
each other.
Another reason was that while the dele
gates professed to regard sngleness as an
ideal state. they would not trust bach
elor with the nomination for the governor
ship. And stil another was that. while
they refused to endorse the anti-race sui
eide policy Of the national administration,
they adopted platform which declares
that good government is founded on the
home.
Putting aside everything else and confin-
ing ourselves entirely to the last named
proposition, let us ask what in the name
| OF sense they mean by pretending to be
/ opposed 10 the anti-race suicide policy Of
the national administration IL they believe
in the home? What do they mean by a
home?
! Do they mean a place where a spinster
lives downstairs and a bachelor has a
hall bed re ON upstairs and where the only
occupant is a cat? or do they mean a
place where. the spinster having at length
yielded, TO matter how reluctantly, to the
perpetual entreaties of the bachelor, both
live all over the house and in course OF
time the patter of six. eight or ten pairs
OF little feet is heard on the landings and
the merry noises produced by six, eight OF
ten pairs OF little lungs resound merrilS
through the halls2
We do not pretend to say what they
mean. All we know is that they are in
consistent We cannot have homes unless
we go about making homes in the RICH
way Brick and mortar and wall pape
and furniture and whatnots and gas stoves
and all that sort Of thing do not maxi
homes A home is only a home in nam
that has not at some time or other hai
shoes, marbles, base ball bats dolls, to,
cannon, short pants tops, kites, chewing
gum, stray dogs. safety pins and such lik
strewn over its hoors-that has not ha,
the prints OF dirty hands on the windows
that has never echoed in the silent watche
OF the night with the soft but stead
tramp OF the kind father as he soothe
the pain in the interior department OF hi
first born.
II home is such a good thing-if tn
bachelors and spinsters OF Iowa believe
to be the foundation OF good government
then their duty is manifest. And from al
accounts the convention at Forest City
though failure In one respect, will event
uAHy provo quite a success in another

UNBUSTNESSLTKE,

The renewal OF the fight made by
Lincoln merchants, goaded by business
competition, against the mercantile as
sessments of Omaha before the State
Board of Equalization, irrespective Of
the merits or lack of merit of the con-
tention.' emphasizes the fact that the
state board transacts its business In a
most unbusinesslike way.
This board. both as a board of as
sessment fixing the value of railroad
property and as a board of equaliza-
ton to review the assessment returns
from the different counties, needs very
badly some rules of procedure by
which those concerned may govern
| themselves. The revenue law pre-
scribes the work of these boards only
in general terms. but the board itself
should establish and adhere to some
sort of rules governing the filing of
protests, the notice to those protested,
an opportunity for answer and a hear
ing upon the issues.
In the present case the board had
met at the time required by law and
| gone over the assessment returns from
all the counties in the state, making a
few changes on its own initiative in
certain classes where the valuations
appeared on their face to be inequit-
able, and had practically finished its
work when the protest of the Lincoln
merchants was allowed to be filed al
the eleventh hour. If there was merit
in this protest there was no good rea'
son why it should not have been filed
at the commencement of the session
inasmuch as the Douglas county mer
camille assessments we're completed
and publicly known weeks ago.
Under the open and shut procedure
of the state board representatives o.
still other counties can yet come IL
and protest the returns of Lancaster
county and of other counties, one aftel
the other, holding the final assessment
off practically indefinitely. 1t is /;
safe proposition that an eleventh hou,
protest is not made in good faith ant
should not be entertained on genera
principles.

BRYAN AND SULLIVAN.

The history Of American politics
will be searched in vain for a deliver
anee by a public man IN Mr.. BTyan's
position more extraordinary in its
terms. and underlying assumptions
than his peremptory demand for the
resignation of Roger Sullivan. the ILL
nois member of the democratic ma
tional committee. The regularity and
validity of Mr.. Sullivan's title as ma
tional committeeman are impregnable
and, as he shows in his trenchant reply
and as Mr.. Bryan of all men has great
est cause to know. had been affirmed
by the highest and sole authority in
the democratic party, namely, the
democratic national convention itself.
For that body deliberately and most
expressly affirmed Mr.. sullivan's title,
denying the allegation of fraud which
Mr.. Bryan. as attorney and champion
of the contestant, urged with all his
might before the ST. Louis convention
two years ago.
In short. Mr.. Bryan sets himself UP
as the democratic party's absolute die.
tator, regardless of it's established or
ganization and regularly constituted
authorities. His attitude is like thai
of an attorney who, having appealed &
case to the supreme court and been by
it sweepingly decided against. should
long afterwards suddenly demand tha
the subject matter be forthwith sur
rendered by the successful party OF
the very ground rejected by the court
Mr.. Bryan does not deign TO explain
by what right he thus assumes to Sc
himself above all rightly constituted
party authority. national and state.
The general public will inquire II

litical czarism. he has not issued
ukase OF Punishment against Tom Tag

dictator ground for deeapitation. hoy
