TEMPER VERSUS BUSINESS.
Action of Ohio Railroad Managers
Due to Temporary Irritation.

New York Tribune.
The Ohio railroads which threaten at
once to revenge themselves and reimburse
themselves for the 2-cent a mile rate law
by cutting off all excursion tickets will
probably find that the expedient is as un-
profitable financially as killing the goose
that lays the golden egg, and as painful
revengefully as cutting off ones own nose
to spite ones face. Railroads do not make
excursion rates out of dsinterested love
and affection, but to stimulate travel. They
find 1t pays to make n special train rate
If they can induce a hundred persons to
travel who would not otherwise use their
cars.
1t is matter of pure business enterprise,
and, in spite of irritation over the 2-cent
rate, the railroads before long will be issu-
rent payers of Cleveland and Cincinnati
of the charms of the suburbs which they
can reach for 10 cents and have homes of
their own with grass for the children to
play on. So, too, they will be offering
round trip tickets at reduced rates to state
fairs. firemen's conventions and church con-
crosses.
Temper is all very well in its way, and
injured dignity is highly impressive, but
business is business, and the general pas
senger agent who can make two passengers
grow where one grew before will continue
to be honored in Ohio and elsewhere, even
though congress and state legislatures dare
to regulate rates. Commuters and aspir-
ants for cheap sightseeing may keep calm.

4 LONG-FELT WANT.


Omaha has for years ranked high as
a distributing center. but while its rail
way facilities are superior to those Of
many cities of five or six times its pop
ulation. its facilities for the distribution
of mail into its tributary trade territory
are utterly inadequate. Every other
city of equal commercial Importance
enjoys the benefits of fast mail service
early distribution of the newspapers
published therein, but Omaha is almost
barred out from the interior of Ne
braska and western Iowa by the lack
of proper mail facilities.
1t is a matter Of notoriety, for exam
pie. that Chicago newspapers reach
towns on the Northwestern system at
the same time with Omaha papers of
the same date. while Omaha morning
papers do not reach many points 100
miles east or west before noon. The
fast mail trains, which originate in Chi
cago, are expedited westward this side
Of the Missouri with great dispatch, but
Omaha newspapers designed for the
same towns on the Northwestern, Bur
lington, Union Pacific and Missouri Pa
cific lines do not leave Omaha until any
where from to 10 a. m.
1t is passing strange nobody in or out
OF the POstoffice department has yet
been able TO explain why Omaha should
not have the benefit of fast mail trains
leaving this city within from one to two
hours of the hour Of newspaper publica-
ton. The newspapers of st. Louis,
Kansas City. st. Paul and Minneapolis
are all transmitted by fast mall leaving
these distribution points before day
break, but when Omaha appeals for the
same service the requisition Is turned
down for lack of appropriation.
This discrimination does not merely
affect the Omaha morning dailies, but
| IL affects every business man in the city
OF Omaha. Experience has shown that
the people in any locality are largely
Influenced in their trade relations
through the newspapers they read. II
goes without saying that the merchant
who reads an Omaha paper is more
likely to make his purchases in Omaha
than the merchant who reads Chicago
st. Louis. Kansas City, st. Paul or Min
neapolis dailies.
This effect is even more marked in
new trade territory. The newspaper
that reaches a place first is the paper
the people patronize most, and the mer
chants whose advertisements reach the
people in these localities are the mer
chants who are mostly patronized
Willing or unwilling, people are largely
influenced unconsciously by the news
papers they read, not only in their pc
litical views or preferences on any par
ticular issue, but also in their mercan
tile dealings. The fact that Omaha i,
lamentably lacking in fast mail facili
ties has been damaging factor in tn,
past and will so continue in the futur,
until the want is adequately supplied.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE GROWING.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE GROWING
During the first seven months of the
current fiscal year the foreign commerce
Of the United States broke all records.
1t averaged S25O,OO0,0OO a month and
should this rate continue during the re-
mainder Of the year, which there is good
reason to expect it will, the total will
be greater than has been reached in any
previous year in the history of our for
eign trade. The increase has been in
both imports and exports, but more
especially in the latter, which were
S70OO0,OOO greater than in the CORE
spending months of the preceding fiscal
year. The increase in the value of i'm
ports was nearly as large as that of
exports. This was chiefly in manufac-
turers' materials and finished manu-
features, while the increase in exporta-
tons occurred mainly in agricultural
products and manufactures. There has
been a marked increase in the amount
of breadstuffs and provisions shipped
direct benefit of American farmers.
The increase in exports of foodstuffs
is widely distributed, but is particularly
marked in the exports to the United
Kingdom. Germany has also been a
liberal buyer, due to the expectation of
her merchants that the new tariff would
become operative against American
goods on March /. They must now
have on hand very large stocks of bread
stuffs and provisions and now that the
tariff is not to at once become effective
against these articles it is probable that
the German merchants will suffer some
loss. The United Kingdom is still far
in the lead of every other country as a
buyer of American products, taking four
times as much as Germany and six
times as much as France. While the
demand from the United Kingdom is
very likely to be maintained and even
increa sed. it is to be expected that the
German demand will now fall off, owing
to the large supplies of fOodstuffs that
have been accumulated. This, however,
will not be n serious matter and is not
likely to have any effect here upon the
prices of breadstuffs and provisions.
The growth of our foreign trade is
highly gratifying. 1t is conclusive evil
dence of national prosperity. The in
crease in imports is not less assuring

of such manifest importance that it is

NEW ALLIANCES POSSIBLE.


1t is not at all probable that there will
be a war over Morocco in the event of
a failure of the Algeciras conference to
settle the controversy between France
and Germany. While the kaiser is cling
ing obstinately to his contention, there
is no reason to think that he has any
desire to provoke hostilities, for it must
be obvious to him that to do so would
doubtless bring upon him the displeasure
of most of Europe and thus place Ger
many at a disadvantage.
But what seems quite possible is that
some new alliances may be formed in
the not remote future. Russia feels ex-
ceedingly friendly toward Germany and
undoubtedly the feeling is mutual. 1t
is said that England is also bidding for
Russian friendship. The relations be-
tween the two countries have for long
time not been altogether cordial. and
there are questions in dispute which
cannot he settled off hand but the new
British ministry is manfesting a dis
position to have them disposed of and
it is altogether likely that il will find
Russia willing to meet it half way.
There are some who think that the
Franco Russian alliance will not long
continue though there is no present indi-
cation of a wish on either side to aban-
don it. As a matter of fact the alliance
has not been of any substantial value
to Russia and of no very great advan-
tage to France, though 1t serves as a
certain protection to the latter.
1t is the opinion of careful students
of European political conditions that in
feeling and the community of interests
which underlies alliances Germany and
Russia are drifting together and France
is drawing near Great Britain. I'm
doubtedly Japan, the new great power,
would welcome the change which some
times seems to be foreshadowed in Eu
ropean alliances. The japanese have
reason to dislike Germany's ambitions
in China and would probably welcome
France as a virtual partner with Eng
land in the Anglo-Japanese alliance
There may be very important changes
in the relations of European nations
within the next few years.
