The way to correct these evils Is

As a fair sample Of cxtortlonate
rates charged by the railroads run
ming into this territory. and the ser
vice rendered to the people, the Daily
Panhandle this morning recelyed two
boxes, 100 pounds each, OF stereo-
type metal, boxed strongly and safe
~ so they could have been thrown
down a 100 foot embankment and
not injured They took up less than
two foot square space, were shipped
from 81. Louis on March 4, and re-
celved here the 25th. three weeks in
transit, and the freight charges on
NE same were $3.50 per hundred.
Does any sane person believe any
such charges are necessary to mako
the railroads, oyercrowded with bus
mess now, pay? However, what are
you going to do about IT? We have
an Interstate commerce commission,
and this Is interstate business, but
how long would it be to bring such
matters to the attention of the com
mission?
The entire commissioner system Is
farce, enabling certain officers to
draw princely salaries from state and
nation, which in reality Is but blind
to make the people believe they have
redress from the extortions OF the
railroad policy of charging all the
traffic will stand, when In reality
they have none. Government owner
ship Is The only solution Of this
growing problem.

She Had Many suitors.

Napoleon Ill, when he was living in
London; the Duke d'Aumale, Lord
Beaconsfeld and many other conspic-
uous figures of the nineteenth century
are on record as having been among
the suitors for the hand of Miss Bur
dett-Coutts, who afterward became
baroness, and 1t Is doubtful whether
any woman ever received so large q
number OF matrimonial offers as the
baroness. In fact, they became posi-
tive nuisance, and in 1S47 she was
compelled TO bring legal proceedings
against lawyer OF the name Of Rich
ard Dunn, Who, according to the
terms of the Indictment had for eight
years prosecuted her with most unwel-

HARD TIMES on THE FARM,

Well, wife, | guess we'll have to try
II we can't cut expenses down,
And practice more economy
Or we may end up on the town,
or course we've got the place paid
for,
But then the farm is rather small;
~ like quarter section more,
And stock enough to run it all.
The times are getting pretty close,
We must be careful how we spend
Our hard-earned cash; we might
lose out
And be but paupers in the end.
| don't see how we can afford
TO keep the style we've set of late,
We're sure to rue it, mark my word,
For times are getting mighty
strait.
For all my hogs | didn't get
Quite seven cents a pound; for
those
Fat steers little less; and yet
\ | didn't lose so much, | s'pose.
For that fine team | sold today
Five hundred dollars all got;
They should have brought some
more; I'll lay
My hat that's what the buyer
thought,
And then it makes me mad to know
What measly sums our products
bring;
With lots of eggs, the price is low;
A quarters the highest price this
spring.
The butter, too, in fine large rolls,
Has not brought over thirty cents;
Some secret force the price controls,
Denying us just recompense.
The times are getting hard, dear
wife,
Our bank account don't quite
show
Five figures. But well try simp-
Ter life,
And make our surplus faster grow
