Walter fed, called cab and took the
baby to his own bachelor quarters.
There he called upon his landlady, who

that the landlady could hear the little

at the founding asylum to have 1t
taken in. In the first place they were
full, and in the second they did not

that it was not his child Walter went
back to his room and with the help Of
the landlady continued to take care

Walter said nothing to any one about
thet baby. He was expecting to be-
come engaged and dreaded lest some
inkling of his having child In his
keeping might get out and his story be
! disbelieved. One day his married sis

see him. With her was Miss Charles,
to whom he was engaged. Mrs. Brown
insisted on going up to Walters room
and taking his fiancee with her to see
what bachelors quarters were like
The landlady, as instructed, guarded

Walter had a standing advertisement
in a newspaper that the lady who had
left baby In box with gentleman
at the station could have it--no proof
Of property required-by addressing B.

the breaking Of his engagement, while
he was In his room finishing his toilet
for dinner, the landlady came up with

man who had put her baby of on him!
Seeing the child on lounge pulling

until the price suits them. For cot
ton car be stored cheaply and with
but little deterioration, for some time.
But we have a virtual monopoly on
cotton and it is not protected by the
tariff, but wheat and corn and oats
are, yet even If a partial failure of our
crop of these cereals occurs,
in the case of wheat it is seen how
the tariff law defeats its W profess
ed object of protecting the farmer by
allowing wheat to be imported by the
mills and exported al flour without
payment of duty except one per cent
of the duty of % cents a bushel, and
corn and oats are never imported in
any quantity whatever the price may
be.
1t naturally must occur to the farm
er who investigates the tariff law, that
it has been created for the benefit Of
the manufactures and that the farm
err gets, not only no benefit, but is a
great loser, for the protected trusts,
into which most manufacturers are
combined, charge enormous extra
profits on what he buys, because the
tariff protects them in SO doing. II
the members of the Society of Equity
and the Farmers Unions arrive at
that conclusion, they will, as a matter
of self-protection, vote to have the
tariff revised, SO as to abolish this I'M
just protection to the few at the ex-
pense of the many.

A New Doctrine.

Are we to become the Don Quixote
of the political world by going every
where intent on ~redressing every
grievance, real or fancied? 1t would
seem that our conservative and trist
controlled senate has aims in that d.
r~ection, for it adopted a resolution
pledging the president its support in
any steps he may decide upon for the
amelioration Of the condition of the
| Congo natives, provided no interna-
tional obligations now existing are
violated and no departure from our
traditional policy of non-interference
in European is taken. This
would seem to he a dangerous phase
Of our development Is a world-power
that would make us a charity agency
to which any rac that are, or think
they ire, suffering. may confidently
apply.
The senate has evidently tried ia
tie the hands Of the president, but
still 1t leaves him a great deal Of
scope for international mischief, II II
strikes him favorably. This action Of
the senate really sets on one eide

our interference In such matters *

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
So Far the Public Has Gained but
Little.

The railroad lobbyists are having
a strenuous time trying to prevent
several states from passing a tWo-cent
passenger rate law. In most OF these
states the house of representatives has
passed the law and the more corpora
ton controlled senate is holding 1t
up, which would look like the bland
ishments of the lobbyists were sue
cessful. In the thickly settled states
the demand for the two-cent rate is
reasonable, especially as the free pass
and rebate evils have been in a great
measure abolished, but in the more
thinly settled western states on
branch lines, at least, it may be uE
reasonable to require it just yet.
But the question of a cent a mile
for passenger fares is not the great
question, for it adds but Slightly to
the annual expense of the people, es,
pecially the farmers and workingmen
who have but little time for pleasure
| excursions. The constant and I'M
reasonable freight rates are Of much
greater Importance to the general
public, for everything sold is increas-
ed in price by the merchant adding
the high freight rate to his profit, and
on the transportation of products to
market high freight rates reduce the
profit of the farmer, the miner and
other producers. The railroads are
now telling US they must increase
rates as their expenses are increasing
both for wages and materials, but this
is a bluff to prevent freight rates and
passenger rates from being reduced
and the fear of the actual value of
railroads being inquired into, so that
what are reasonable rates may be de-
termined.
With the great majority of the Re-
publican politicians helping the rail-
roads, secretly at least, it will be- a
prolonged fight before these law-break-
ing corporations will be thoroughly
curbed and a fair, just and reasonable
basis of charges established. The
railroad officials are already declaring
that their sins should be forgiven and
that no more rate legislation should
be attempted. But so far the public
have gained nothing but some facts
of railroad wrong-doing and although
restitution will never be made to a
p~lundered people, yet it must be made
certain that the plundering will not
be continued.
