RATE BILL.

Those republican senators who were
bill-like the one the president advo-
Gated at the outset-and those who
were at first inclined TO join with tie
democrats in securing the passage Of
such a measur have evidently come 10
the conclusion that II is better, for the
sake of the rarty-no thought being
had for the good Of the country-thar
they should come together and pass
some kind Of a compromise measure,
rather than have the democrats given
credit for forcing on the republicans
the kind Of a bill that the majority Of
that party does not want. We do not
suppose the railroads are satisfied with
the measure as it now stands, but it
is much more favorable to them than
would have been the measure contem-
plated by the coalition of the demo-
Gratis and those republicans who really
were anxious to see the railroads re-
stricted in their present absolute indie
pendence of all law in regard TO the
matter legislated on in this bill. The
Allison amendment restricts the abuses
which may occur in the matter of ap-
peals from the order of the interstate
commerce commission, but it is far
from comforting on the commission
proper authority for protecting the
people in the tanner the Hepburn bill
o%riginators contemplated. When the
president abandoned his idea of re-
stricted review by the courts he opened
the way to a compromise on the part Of
the opposing republican factions which
took the pith out Of the bill and made
of no avail the democratic contention
for a bill that would really serve the
interests of the people, though The
measure with the Allison amendments
is some improvement on present con
ditions and those t be expected under
the original bill without such amend
ments.

Will Build Bleaching Plant.

The directors of the Elk Mountain
cotton mills, Of Asheville, have author
lied the issue of S75,0 900 worth of pre-
ferred stock for the purpose of building
a bleaching plant in connection with
the mills. A tract of adjacent land. LOG
acres in extent, has been purchased in
order to secure the control of a small
stream, the water of which is especial
~ suited for bleaching purposes. When
the new plant is fully equipped, the Elk
Mountain mills will finish their own
goods.-GaZette News.

How could those Germans have sold
that submarine mine to representa-
tives Of the government of the United
States without anybody in authority
over here knowing any thing about it?
The only denial of the transaction so
far made comes from those who, had
there been such a purchase, could not
have known anything about it. The
charge against the men on trial is that
they traded with a member of the
American legation at Brussels. Our
war department says this can't be so,
because there was no representative of
its department in that city at the
time. 1t is denying something which
has not been charged against it. There
is not a word yet from the state de-
partment as to the real charge that the
sale was made to one of it's subordi-
mates in the consular or diplomatic
service.

Importance of the Appalachian Reso-
luton.

The Appalachian forest reserve bill
now before congress will, if passed, re-
move the danger Of d%enuding the New
England mountains. Less necessary
but still admirable features of the Dill
provide also for preserving mountain
forests in Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama and Tennes-
see. One Of the anomalies of the for
estry service is that to secure the Pres
ervatiOn of forest areas is far easier in
the west than il the east, where the
stripping is merciless. The need for
pushing the work in New England and
in the Southern states is cbvious-tha
delay in congress has been due to the
general desire to keep down expenses,
Still, this masure carries with it al
appropriation of only three million dol
lars, and it would appear that even
Uncle joe Cannon might be made to
, see the wisdom of such an investment

she wore a white dress it looked to be
red. The wounds are not serious, but
the bleeding was prOfuse.

a traveller, good all round sports

membered some time ago wrote q
magazine article saying a number Of
unpleasant things about the Panama
situation. He was singled out by
Secretary Taft as the one writer
among great many who had been
saying unpleasant things about the
canal, for spirited reply, The Sc
cretary alleged that Mr.. Bigelow

was writing about However, that

Poultney Bigelow's article was no

therefore good man to make an ok.

undertook to cross question him as

he should dare to write anything
