Low FARES AND HIGH rREIGHrs

states of the Middle West, years ago
 took the lead in the regulation of rail
 road rates. Wisconsin and Michiga,
 were the pioneers. and, after Ohio cn acted 2'ccnt fare law. the whole Mis- sissiPpi valley fell into line Already 'his winter, 2-ccnt fare bills are pend ing m, ar have passed one or two branches of inc Legislatures of Mis- souri, Indiana, Kansas. Arkansas. Iowa and Nebraska; and Oklahoma has adopted 2-ccnt fare provision in its new constitution. Several other stn,cs are considering important railroad leg. islatidn, notably our ncighLor, to inc north Oregon.
 In this connection, it is interesting to note the experience of the pcnosyl vania railroad with 2.ccnt mileage. The Following K taken from it's ad v'rtisemcnt in Philadelphia news. paper;
 "Septcmbcr I, 1906, the pcnnsyl vania Railroad company, placed on snlc at s2O each l,000.milc tickets. good for one year, and good for the passage Inf the holder, and any number of other persons within mileage limit of tickets on any of inc lines of the compnnv east of Pittsburg and Buffalo. This t'cket has proved so popular that it| has been almost impossible to print them Fast enough io meet the demand. about 100000 having been distributed ai this time. !"
 In six months, sI,000,Oo0 paid into the treasury of the company for these 2'cent books' Cheap fares create more business, unquostionably Chcap frcigb, rates stimulate commerce. But tb, railroads, with insufficient cauipment and trackago to handle present business do not sec the matter in that light They prefer to have fewer passengers. at 2i, to 1 cents, and less freight. n, high rates. Their own prosperity is all | they consider.
 Eastern railroad representatives ar, it seems, to add enough to freight charges to make up for any possible losses through reduction in fares. lt is reported that decision has been reached simultaneously 10

RUSSIA GROPES IN

General Kuropatkin in his published history of thc war presents a gravcr

 Perhaps inc most pathetic feature of ih" whole grim recital is the Russian commanders admission that the Japan. 'se army was possessed hy ardent pai riotism and devotion to principle. while inc Russians were stolilly indif. fcrcnt. neither understanding nor ear. ing why they were sen, to death by biundcring commanders and hcarilcss rulers, and having no heart for war. Nuropatkin paints the Russian peasant character. which is the character of the army, blackly, but no doubt with nb. soluic truth.

The West virginians complained that
they were robbed of their proper share
Of the Government. Representation in
the Legislature had been skilfully man.
ipulaied SO as to give certain control
at all times to the TidewatcT minority.
John c. Calhoun's theory of "construc-

that they thought due their superior

and the terms thereof. Were the Con-

The Confederate soldiers We're not re-
qGired to take the oath of allegiance at
the time of the surrender nor at any
time afterward except they wanted to
vote or hold office. The following are
the terms given by Gen. Grant to Gen.
Lee:
"Appomattox c. H., Va, April 8, 1865.
Gen. r. e. Lee, Commanding C. S. A.
General: In accordance with the sub
stance of my letter to you of the Sth
inst, | propose to receive the surrender
of the Army of Northern Virginia on
the following terms, to wit: Rolls of all
the officers and men to be made in du-
plicate. One copy to be given to an
officer designated by me, the other to
be retained by such officer or officers as
you may designate. The officers to give
their individual paroles not TO take up
arms against the Government of ths
United States until properly exchanged,
and each company or regimental COM
mander to sign like parole for the
men of their commands. The arms. ar
tillery and public property to be parked
and stacked and turned over to the Off
Ger appointed by me to receive them.
This will not embrace the side arms of
the officers nor their private horses or
baggage. This done, each officer and
man will be allowed to return to their
homes, not to be disturbed by United

their paroles and the laws in force

those above that age were assessed but
$1.20 per head. AS most of their wealth
was in slaves, they paid little 10 sup

The vests next complaint was that
substantially all the expenditures for
internal improvements were for the
benefit of the eastern part. An insane
asylum at Weston, and few thousand
dollars annually for roads, We're all that
the west had to show, against the i'm
mense sums expended in the east.
The Movement for Separation.
Prominent men in West Virginia be-
gan working for separation as early
probably as 1890, and the movement
met with such favor that for years be-
fore the war no man, no matter OF what
party, could be elected to the Legislature
who did not avow himself III favor OF
separation. 1t was the test question
put to every candidate.
The struggle became sharply accen-
tuated in the extra session which Gov.
Letcher called in January. The West
Virginians were firm in their Unionism,
but others who had been elected as
Unionists weakened before the tactics
of the vigorous Secession minority. This
was more markedly the case m the
Convention which was called to con-
slider whether the State should secede.
The majority We're opposed to seceS-
sion, but We're alternately blandiShed
and bulldoZed until they went over to
the enemy. Richmond was filled with
troops from the Cotton States, and
those who opposed secession were de-
nounced as cowardly submissionists,
detitute of the State pride which every
Virginian should feel, and willing tools

humilate and rob the South Upward
