The Two-cent Passenger Rate,

The railroads in three States are
now testing the reduced passenger
rate temporarily, Missouri, Virginia
and North Carolina In the two
latter the operation Of the new order
is only until such time as the courts
will be able to take the matter un-
der consideration and pass on the
question whether the rate fixed by
the State is oppressive and confisca-
tory and therefore, violative of the
constitution. In Missouri, the test
was applied earlier. 1t was to be
put in operation some time ago to
be tried for three months. The
figures, if Attorney General Hadley
is to be believed, do not agree with
the prediction Of the railroads, but,
on the other hand, support the po-
sition of those legislators who in
sisted that with lower fares there
would be and increase in traffic that
would make good the losses.
The receipts of the railroads have
increased $1,000 a day at Kansas
City, while the passenger move
ment at ST. Louis has reached a vol
ume it enjoyed during the exposi-
ton The interstate business has
been enormous, many persons who
have done no travelling before TAX
ing advantage of the lower fares to
see the country.
The railroads frankly admit this,
but still insist that they are losing
money, as the traffic is costing more
to handle. The receipts are higher,
but it takes so per cent more cars
to carry the people, and nearly all
the costs of operation have grown
Nor would it be safe to count on
the increased business continuing
permanently. When g new and a
cheaper rate is announced it is
natural that people should wish to
take advantage of it; but when the
novelty of it wears off traffic is like
ly to return to nearly its old figures.
Business traffic will remain un-
changed; and while travel for pleas
ure will undoubtedly be increased
there is no reason TO believe that
the increase will be such as to meet
all the heavier expenses incurred
It cannot be said, therefore, that
the business reported from Missouri
sets at rest the question of the rea-
sonable character of the two-cent
rate. The matter will have to be
tested longer and more thoroughly,
and not for Missouri alone, but for
every State in which the reduced
rate is tried. for what may be pos
sible in one is not possible in an
other. Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.

Williams Will Not Ask for Re
election.

Although he could complete two
/ terms in the lower house of Con
gress before the beginning of his
| senatorial term, Congressman John
Sharp Williams will not ask for re-
election from this district.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Mr.. Williams prior to the
beginning of the senatorial contest,
and he reiterates his decision. In
der no circumstances would he
again accept nomination at the
hands of the Democratic party of
the eighth district.
Senator Moneys term expires on
March 4, 1911, and on that date
Mr.. Williams will take his seat.
The present term of Mr.. Williams
will end on March 4, 1909, and he
will then return to private life for
a period of two years, devoting the
time to his personal business inter-
ests, which has been somewhat
neglected during the fourteen years
of continuous service in public life.
This is the determination of the
new senator-elect, and is not likely
to be altered Already much talk
is being INDUCED in concerning his
successor, and a goodly amount of
eligible material is ting suggested.
Among those mentioned are Hon q
w. George, of this city; Hon. C.
H Williams, brother of Congress
man Williams; Hon. R. H. Henry,
editor of the Clarion-Ledger; Hon.
Hon c. NJ. Williamson, of the
Jackson bar; Hon. Pat Henry of
ViCksburg, and a number of others.
The eighth district is composed of
counties Yazoo, Kinds, Marion,
Warren and Rankin, all of which
gave Mr.. Williams good maiorities
in the recent senatorial race, and
his personal influence in the case,
if he should care to use it, would
have a great deal to do with naming
his successor.-Yazoo City Sentinel.

4 correspondent of the Yazo

4 correspondent of the Yazoo
City Sentinel makes this point;
Here's another case for the For
aker investigating committee: in
Hllsboro, Illinois, negroes are or
dered to leave that city because they
were employed by the contractors to
assist in paving the streets. A bat
tie was engaged in between the
whites and blacks resulting in all
the negroes being ordered to leave
the city. In the South we want
to drive them out because they
don't work, while in the North they
do work. We would be pleased to
swap with them, exchanging our
idle, loafining class of negroes for
those that are willing to work.

night, caught the mail-packet, posted
to Paris and back to- Calais, and re-

He chartered fishing boat bound

Newmarket in time for the race, took
the post back to London ami stopped

In the middle OF the port and dice
after dinner he was caught by a spe.

over half England in search of him
and reminded that he had to move to

make brilliant speech in reply to
North and Burke, and defeated North
on division by a single vote.
