The Illinois Central.

The Louisville Post very aptly says:
The report of a railroad company like
the Illinois Central represents as moth
ing else can do the vast extent of our in
ternal commerce We hear much of our
foreign trade, but we pay more for trans
portation on our domestic trade than
our total exports amount to, and two
thirds as much as both imports and ex.
ports.
Stephen A. Douglas started the Hi
nois Central on its career by securing
certain land grants for it. During
these fifty years it has served the South
and West well.
Its gross receipts are now 81 millions,
and in taxes and operating expenses it
distributes 30 millions; millions a
month, or 100000 every day. In the
past thirteen years it has spent over
10 millions in purchasing new cars
These figures are 30 vast that they Of
ten lose their meaning, but they are
worthy of attention. Moreover the
country is to be congratulated that so
vast an artery Of commerce is in the
hands of able. conservative and far see.

A Determined Fighter.

The Springfield Sun says:
Just at this time it is very important
to send to Congress men of influence
men who will stand for the interests of
the farmers. The bitterest fight ever
waged in the halls of the National Con.
gress will be fought to a conclusion
during the next year. 1t will be a fight
between the mammoth trusts of the
country and the people-the plain, COM
mon people. We must elect as our Rep
resentatives men who have the courage,
the flint in them, the determination to
override all obstacles; men who will
wave the peoples banner fairly in the
faces of the corrupt hosts, who occupy
seats in Congress for the sole purpose of
bringing about class legislation. Every
man who knows Mr.. johnson, the Dem
ocratic nominee, know him as de-
te-minej fighter, as man who will
battle unrelentlessly for those laws
which will prove blessings to the people.
Even at this stage of the game tobacco
legislation has been mapped out, and
the great tobacco trust will oppose II
with its millions-ill-gotven millions Of
money. But if We can snucceed in elect
ing to Congress such men as Mr.. John
son, the all-powerful tobacco trust will
become as hopeless as bubble in gale.
Its effort in behalf of class legislation
will amount to naught, and the tobacco
farmers, through their representative in
Congress, will succeed in getting legis.
lation which will guarantee to them
fair prices for their crops, and which
will be the means Of saving to the far
mers thousands of dollars annually.
At Hogenville few days ago it was
the pleasure of the editor of The Sun TO
hear Mr.. johnson deliver speech.
During his remarks he referred to the
nefarious work of the tobacco trust and
offered some suggestions as to the best
method of treating ii from legislative
standpoint In no uncertain language
he pledged himself to battle to the last
ditch against this, the most powerful
perhaps, of all the trust And those
people who know him personally know
he will do Just what he says he will
do.
Indeed, we wish it were possible for
every voter in the district to know Mr..
johnson as we know him If this could
be, emphaticslly there would be few
votes against him.

Many people suppose that moonlight
possesses great potency and has a won
derful influence on or over animate
and inanimate things on our planet.
Such persons should remember that
moonlight is only reflected sunlight
and that the quality and quantity OF
the light thus reflected are not what Is
generally imagined. In fact, II Is q
truth which has often been demonstrate
ed by the speculative astronomers that
II would take G1S,O00 full moons to
AFFORD an amount Of light equal to that
emitted by the sun, and, furthermore,
there is only sky space for 10000 such
disks. Some heat comes from moon
light. However. II is in quantities so
small that II cannot be measured by
ordinary instruments. Flammarion
says that the amount Of heat emitted
by a full moon while at its zenith can
not be more than one elghty-thou-
sandth of the amount that the sun sup
plies when standing on the meridian
on a favorable day in July. Such be-
ing the case. It is really surprising
that intelligent people should consider
that the moon has such a wonderful
influence" over terrestrial affairs.

There are two things which people
imagine are guides to the goodness Of
coffee which are really Of no conse-
quence whatever. They are the color
Of the decoction and the aroma Of the
coffee when ground or as it escapes
from the pot in drawing. The color is
due almost entirely to the roasting.
This is true also Of tea. The finest
coffees and teas. when properly roast
ed and prepared, to give out their
finest fiavOrs will color the water but
little. Tho real essences which give
the flavor have practically no color.
