Pennsy and B. and o.

Announcement is made that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company has disposed OF
more than half of its holdings of Baltimore
and Ohio and Norfolk and Western stock.
OF the stock of the former road the Penn
sylvania held some S21. SOC, 900 preferred
and s3O.3O0.eO0 common. and of the latter
s2O.300.OO0 common and s.. 800 900 adjusted
preferred, total holding in both roads of
SIGO,OOO, more than one-half of which Is
now sold and the proceeds turned into the
treasury for application upon the terminal
improvements now under way.
The reason for the sale officially an
nounced by the Pennsylvania corporation
is that the purchases were originally made
In order to prevent secret rebates, and that
this practice having been checked, the &C.
casion for continuing controlling ownership
of other railroads has ceased. The public
belief. however. Is that this sale is a con-
cession to public sentiment, and possibly a
move anticipatory of the operations of the
new railroad rate regulation law which
forbids such holdings.
Whatever the reason, the public will gem
orally acclaim the sale as In the interest of
a more wholesome condition in the trans
portation world. and restoration Of the
competitive system with all its possibilities
OF advantage to the shipper and traveller.
If the new railroad rate law has had this
effect 1t has already demonstrated its use
fitness. 1t may be assumed that the Penn
sylvania railroad prefers to rely upon the
operations of the statute for its own pro-
lection from rate-cutting rivals instead of
being compelled to invest great sums in
stock purchases to control policies Of man.
agement.
Aside from the law or the morals of this
particular case. there remains a local as
pect of prime Importance. The purchase
OF Baltimore and Ohio stock by the Penn
sylvania had an effect for the benefit Of
the District of Columbia which cannot be
easily computed Had it not been for this
community of ownership interest it is prob
able that the original Embarrassing legis-
lation enacted by Congress, compelling each
road to construct its own station, would
have been executed The union station
agreement was rendered possible only by
reason of the close relations newly estab-
lished between the lines In a measure the
whole country Is concerned in this improve
ment, and when the facts are broadly
understood there will doubtless be a gen.
eral agreement that for once at least and
In certain respect, this purchase of a rival
railroads stock was justified by its good
enects. Having accomplished this object
which was only an effect and far from be-
ing purpose, the public advantage in a
continued joint ownership OF the b. and O.
ceases.

brought in expired in the arms of Pierpont
Morgan and the Rothschilds, a borrower
and an outcast.
In 1904 the trick failed. The Rothschilds

In fact could not pull the strings so as to

broke down. Judge Parker did his best,
but his backing could not be concealed or
denied. 1t was useless for him to talk
against trusts and corporation power with
the Belmonts and the Ryans prepared to
step in and help him administer affairs In
case of success at the polls. That was too
much for an electorate which had swal-
lowed the Cleveland-W Whitney bait only
few years before. The burnt child breads
the fire. The hooked fish that has wriggled
loose examines the next worm with care.
Mr.. Bryan saw the difficulty at the time,

Mr.. Bryan sees the difficulty now. Whether
he can altogether avoid 1t in his own behalf

The Warf1eld Boom.

The New York reporters, with character
istic irreverence and jocuiarity. had a good
deal of fun with the Nebraskans who came
east to greet Mr.. Bryan. They limned them
with broad brushes. and doubtless invented
many of the queer doings and sayings
ascribed to them. All, however was in
pleasant part. and probably the Nebraskans
laughed as heartily as anybody else.
This comes from Baltimore, and evidently
was not intended as joke:
Mayor Dahiman of Omaha. Bryans lieu
tenant, was here today to learn the senti-
ment of leading democrats toward Bryan.
He talked with United States Senators Ray
ner and Whyte. The former said he favored
government ownership IL 1t could be proved
feasible. Senator Whyte was non-commit-
tai.
"Dahlman desired to see Gov warfeld,
but he was out of town. The mayor Of
Omaha wants the democratic, ticket to be
Bryan and Warfield He says Warfleld Is
liked in the west. He stands with the peo-
pie. and they are better acquainted with
him in the west than any other eastern man
who could be named
Mr.. Bryan has many iieutenants, and the
cowboy mayor of Omaha may be one Of
them. 1t is to be doubted. however. IL he is
authorized to be securing the country for a
running-mate for Mr.. Bryan. or IL any
suggestions on the subject volunteered by
him will amount to a pinch of snuff with
the real leaders of the democratic party.
The matter is too important to be intrusted
to small fry or taken up out of season even
by those competent to deal with it.
Gov. Warfield Is an able and attractive
man. and when 1t was announced that Mr..
Bryan had broadened under travel and was
now sane and safe" the suggestion of the
Marylander for second place on a ticket
with the Nebraskan seemed not inappro-
pirate as means of bringing the two fac
tions of the democracy together. But how
is 1t now? Who. knowing the man and his
business sagacity and connections, would
associate Gov Warfield with Mr.. Bryan's
bimetalism and his government ownership
of railroads? Who can imagine the Mary
land man lending his name as candidate
to a platform knocked together by men
of the stamp of the cowboy mayor of
Omaha?
And what is true of Gov Warfield Is true
Of others. Where is the man to come from.
Of the vice presidential size. who could
stand on such a platform as Mr.. Bryan now
indicates and bring to the ticket any votes
from the conservative side of the party?
Let somebody with a strong glass locate
and name him. He Is not visible to the
naked eye.
The Warfield boom was short lived. In the
morning 1t was green and grew up, but in
the evening II was cut down. dried up and
withered. The responsibility is easily fixed
Nobody need lie about It, Mr. Bryan did
It with his little Madison Square Garden
speech. His tongue was the little Ratchet
that laid the boom low.

Mr.. Walsh states the case Of the Parker

Kitchener and India.

A few days. 1t Is said, may bring about
an important change in the British army
assignments involving the future Of Lord
Kitchener and possibly affecting the policy
Of the British government toward India.
Ever since Kitcheners appointment as
commander of the forces in India, In the
autumn Of 1902, for a term Of five years,
he has been assiduously at work upon
scheme of military reform which has
aroused intense opposition in India and has
caused friction in London. Its most con-
spicuous result has been the retirement of
Lord Curzon from his post as viceroy OF
India. Kitchener was supported by the
Balfour government throughout his pro-
cess of reorganization, which was based
upon the principle of Capitalization and
separation Of the military authority from
the civil. 1t has been estimated that the
entire project would involve cost Of &c.
100000 the major part Of which would fall
upon the Indian people, who have been
strenuous in their objection and opposition.
Their protests, however. have not been
needed at London. and up to this time. de-
spite the change Of ministry. Kitchener has
had ample backing for all his measures.
1t is now reported in army circles that
Kitchener will in a few days be gazetted
to succeed Gen. Lord Grenfell as COM
mander Of the forces in ireland. a post Of
no Importance at this juncture and with
no prospect of requiring in the near future
the services OF a man Of especial ability.
1t Is veritable sinecure. shelf. and 1t is
natural that Kitchener should object to the
proposition. 1t is stated by friend Of his
that he will resign from the army rather
than take a post which means retirement
and by implication disapproval of his poll
cies and work in India
The point Of chief Importance before the
world at large Is whether this action by tho
Campbell-Ba ministry. II actually
contemplated and made, will signify a
change of heart toward India. The pres
sure for a more considerable treatment Of
that country has been steadily increasing
Of late years, and 1t is quite possible that
the liberal government has felt 1t and de-
cided to yield somewhat to 1t. Such a
course will Immediately subject the minis
try to the accusation Of being inspired by.
the policy of little Englandsm." which
was leveled fiercely at those who objected
to the prosecution of the war against the
Beers. 1t is altogether likely that If per-
sisted in a non-military policy in India
would precipitate a splitting issue and fur
nlsn the raiying cry OF a reunited un1onist
party in a national campaign.
AS for Kitchener himself. retirement from
the Indian field. whether to Ireland or to
private life. would mean only his tempo
rary subsistence pending England's next
campaign. He Is Enthusiastically today the
greatest military genius Of his country.
His is a name to conjure with, and his
services will in an emergency never be
overlooked or neglected, and II summoned,
never be refused.

In song is heard.

Now opens up before US.
Mute Is the song.

Starts up the anvil chorus.

Its old-time tint and shading.

And summers mood is fading.

Have put away
The soft bouquet
They're reaching for the hammer.
