Washington, d. c., March 1.-THE
inquiry into the Hartman roads by the
Interstate Commerce commission
which resulted in such sensational de-
velopments Of high finance, has caused
a variety of suggestions for remedies.
Among those under consideration by
the commission are the following:

COLUMBIA DUSTY, TOO.

Here's some more consolation
for dust-cursed Lancastrians
We recently called attention to
the fact that Richmond, Va,
like Lancaster, is afflicted with
the dust nuisance, having no
sprinkiers. And now comes the
Columbia Record and make
complaint of similar conditions
in that city. The Record says:
In this month of April, which
has exchanged places with
March, the people of Columbia
have suffered terribly from the
dust nuisance. 1t is every where
in the streets, on he sidewalks.
in houses and stores and factories;
in ones mouth and nose and
eyes. And water is everywhere
and no use made of 1t to lay the
dust. Why is this thus? Shall
we 90 on depending only on The
merciful rains of heaven tore

filthy dust, VIII ich is mixed with
almost wholly constituted of
-decayed animal and vegetable
matter that, breathed into the
system, tends to destroy life?

against $1.90 in South Carolina.
For a distance of one hundred
and fifty miles the rate in Geor-
gia is 81 SO, as against $2.10 in
South Carolina. For a distance
OF two hundred miles the rate in
Georgia is 1921, as against 50 70
in South Carolina. For distance
of two hundred and fifty miles
the rate in Georgia is $2.4S, as
against $2.75 in South Carolina
and for distance of three hun
dred miles in Georgia the rate
is $2.70, as against $2.75 in
South Carolina. The average ex
cess in the South Carolina rates
over those obtaining in Georgia
per ton is 34A cents. The percent
age of average excess in South
Carolina over the rate on ferti
lizers in Georgia is 20.83 per
cent. The people of South Caro-
lima are paying on the single
item OF fertilizers 5000, 900 more
in freight than they would pay
il the intra State rates, establish
ed by the railroads in Georgia,
should apply in South Carolina.
The News and Courier goes
on to show that the rates on fer.
tilizers in Virginia are even low
er than the Georgia rates. And
our Charleston contemporary
adds:
"The intra-State rate in Geor-
gia, North Carolina and Virginia
on all other staple articles of
commerce-naval stores, lumber,
-four in sacks and in barrels,
cotton, fruit and vegetables, etc,
etc--as compared with the rates
in South Carolina show practi
cally the same disparity as the
rates which we have noted on
fertilizers"
These facts and figures show.
ing cross discrimination on the
part of the railroads certainly
cannot be harmonized with
President Emerson's high-sound-
ing words before the Whining
ton chamber of commerce.

sides, however, will no doubt lose
votes by the failure of citizens to
register when they had the op-
portunity to do so.

AS many as five dogs supposed
to have been mad were killed in
Columbia last week. And Sat-
urday night negro woman was
severely bitten by dog in that
city. The vicious animal refused
to release its hold on the woman
and had to be shot by an officer.
Wonder if the time will ever
come when dogs will not be al
lowed to run at large in commu-
mites. Why should the dog be
granted privileges not enjoyed by
other animals-the horse, the
COW, the hog, for example Isn't

ways a menace to the public p
Lancastrians will recall what a
"good time" we had here last
year, when for sixty days dogs
were not allowed on the streets.
During that period children and
grown persons were not chased
or attacked by dogs; CANNES did
not follow their owners to church
to disturb the congregation or to
scratch feas, dirt and hair off on
the floors; citizens hen nests
were not broken up nights by
neigbbors' dogs I; miserable little
"fice" did not snap at ones heels
while walking along the streets,
nor did any one stumble over
dogs blocking up the side walks /;
nor was any one bitten by q dog,
mad or otherwise.

water works plants. 1t is also
claimed on behalf of the Hughes
contract that it will furnish the
town with an electric light sys-
tenn without the creation of
bonded indebtedness, and that
after the expiration OF ten years,
if the town desires TO do so, it
may purchase the plant on liberal
terms, as stipulated IN the con-
tract.
On the other hand, there are
those who contend that the ac-
ceptance of the Hughes PROPOSE
ton means the indefinite post
ponement of the water works
question, that no responsible con-
tractor will undertake to oestablish
a system of water works unless
he is also given the electric light
franchise. 1t is also claimed that
Lancaster can now issue bonds
and install its own light plant
that under the constitutional
limitation it can at present issue
bonds to the amount of $26, ,744.,
sum far greater than necessary
for the installation of a light
plant. Or, it is contended, the
town may, by waiting until the
limits are extended and until
there is reassessment of pro-
perty, be in position to make a
bond issue sufficiently large or
approximately so to defray the
cost of both light and water sys-

THE LIGHT PROBLEM.

The citizens of Lancaster appear
to be somewhat divided on the
pending electric light proposition.
There are those who are enthu-
siastically in favor of ratifying
the ordinance granting the fran
chise 10 Mr.. Hughes. They say
that Lancaster now has a splen-
did opportunity to obtain the
long wanted and much-needed
electric lights; that the Hughes
contract is fair and just to the
town, the rates reasonable and
that there is no good reason why
Lancaster should remain any
longer without lights when there
is no prospect in the near or dis
tant future of any one offering to
install both electric lights and

TENS.


And there you are. "You pays
your money and you takes your
choice" While we have our own
views on the subject. we do not
think that it would, under the
circumstances, be fair to express
them. The time is too limited,
before the election, for a full and
free discussion of the matter in
the press. Besides, it wouid be
presumption on our part to un-
dertake to tell intelligent citizens
how they should vote in this or
any other election.
We regret that Council has
not seen fit, as su ggested in the
last issue OF The News, to defer
the election to later date, in
order to give the people more
time to look into the electric
light proposition, ten days, in
our judgment, not being suffi-
cient for the purpose. Moreover,
there appears to be only about
rs citizens of the town at pre-
sent qualified to vote, that is to
say, who have municipal regis
tration certificates. Among the
many citizens without certificates
are some of the largest taxpayers
in the community, who by all
means should have a voice in so
important matter as the grant
ing of a 30-year franchise. Both

WHAT THE RAILROADS PREACH
AND WHAT THEY PRACTICE.

in an address delivered at the
annual banquet of the Whining
ton, N. c., Chamber of Com
merce, said:
"The railroads owe to the pub
lie fair treatment and reasonable
rates, and the very best service
that is within their power to
give. They should aid in build.
ing up the waste places, aud give
CO operations in all such under
takings as far as their abilities
and the laws of the land permit.
Their rates should be just and
reasonable should not be unjust
ly discriminative, and should be
impartially applied"
That sounds all right, and it is
right in principle, but when it
comes to practice do the railroads
carry out such broad, eminently
fair and just principles and
policies? Let us see.
Cases involving charges of ex.
cessive rates and discrimination
on the part of thirty railroad
companies against Southern cot
ton mills are now pending be.
fore the Interstate com mission
in Washington. In support
of these charges manufacturers
of cotton goods in the South sub.
mitted testimony before the com
mission last Thursday going to
show that the rates on the pro-
ducts of the Southern mills ship
ped to China and Japan are con-
siderably higher than the rates
charged Eastern manufacturers,
the difference being forty three
cents a hale. which is enough TO
seriously affect the South's trade
in the Orient. In its report OF the
hearing before the commission,
the Associated Press says:
1t is alleged that the railroads
favor the Eastern cotton mills in
their freight rates to Pacific
coast terminals on goods intend
ed for the Oriental trade. They
say they are compelled to pay
rate of 81 25 per hundred pounds
on such goods from points in
Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-.
sissippi, LOUISIANA and Texas,
whereas the Eastern manufac-
turers obtain a much-lower rate
to the great disadvantage OF the
mill owners of the South"
Again, at conference held in
Charleston last week between
Mayor Rhett of that city and
President Emerson, of the At
lantic Coast Line, and Vice
President Culp of the Southern
Railway, the mayor submitted
several propositions looking to a
readjustment of railroad rates,
among them ga reduction of
rates within the State of South
Carolina, so as to put them on a
parity with intra State rates in
Georgia. In commenting edito-
rally on this proposition the
News and Courier says:

ANOTHER CHANGE
NEEDED.

While many claim owners are
having their work done, many are
postponing this work in expecta-
ton of the passage of the Bartlett
bill. The discussion that has
arisen over this measure has
brought another point to light,
namely the advantage that would
accrueif the date for expiration of
rights on unpatented claims upon
which the work has not been done
should be fixed at June 80 instead
OF December 90.
Such a change in the mining
laws would work no one an injury.
1t would benefit claim owners and
miners alike. There are always
greater activities in producing
mines in the Fall than in the
Spring. Many properties redpce
their forces in early Spring aud
add men in the autumn. The rea-
son for this is not clear, but it is a
known actnality. If assessmeM
work could he done by the miners
during the dull season in the
mines, it would insure their steady
employment throughout the year.
Furthermore. many hardships
are encountered in doing work in
the late Fall on the surface. The
ground is frequently frozen or COW
cred with snow. Climatic condi-
tions make it often impossible to
transport men and supplies to out
lying claims. Spring is the ideal
season for doing assessment work.
In an arid country like this, water
is the chief consideration, and in
the springtime there are many
small water courses and springs,
which are dry later in the season.
The Review would suggest that
Congressman Bartlett place rider
on bis assessment work bill aud
change the date for the expiration
of rights from December 81 to
June 30.

SUES UNCLE SAM.

Dennis Scully, Deputy United
States Surveyor, residing at Aus
tin, Nevada, has brought suit in
the United Ststes Circuit Court at
Carson against the United States
of America for the sum of Us, 1882.
So. Scully is his own attorney in
the case and his complaint con-
sists of about sixty closely written
pages.
Scully says he secured the con-
tract to do certain surveying for
the Government in Nevada anc
that he not only did this work bu'
also a large amount of additional
work. He says that the Govern
ment has failed to pay him for any
of his work and he now files sui
for the total amount and also in
terest on the sum. He demands
interest on the sum at the rate o
IL per cent the month, which
amounts to S2,22S. The plaintiff
places his work at the rate of $2l
the day for the period of time.

STRIKE ON AGAIN.

Goldfeld is again stricken" I"
The strike this time is for the pur-
pose OF securing cash wages, in
stead of being paid in the bank
paper, which is now passing cur
rent and without discount in other
business transactions.
Local Union No. 220, Western
Federation of Miners, voted unan-
imously Monday night to strike
until the mine owners signed an
agreement to pay in cash, or re-
deem in cash the bank paper is
sued for wages. 1t is understood
that this guaranty clause refers
only to mining companies and that
leasing companies must pay the
coin.
With the exception of several
leasing companies in ore now pay
ing coin all the properties in the
camp are shut down, with the fur
ther exception of leases that are
operated by their owners.
1t is estimated that 100 miners
are out of work and many are leav-
ing the camp. This comes at an
inopportune time for the men, but
no severe hardships will be exper-
ienoed by the companies, because
the increased smelter rate and slow
ness of settlements would probably
have caused temporary shutdown
anyway.
An effort will be made to in
crease the local supply of cash and
retire the scrip, which will be pos
sible as soon as the other cities on
the coast GO on a cash basis and
thus prevent heavy drafts upon
the local bank. The situation will
also improve as soon as the State
and the Nye & Ormsby banks re-
sumo business.
The strike is being conducted
inan orderly fashion. There has
been no violence and none is
threatened.-Goldfield Review.
