HUGHES MAKES Els APPEAL.
Defends the Public Utilities Bill in a
Speech at Utica.

Utica, N. Y.-While his enemies at
Albany are planning his defeat, Gov
ernor Hughes took an active hand In
the fight by making a notable speech
at Utica. In it he appealed to the
people of the State to save the Public
Utilities bill from the amendments
suggested by the public service cor
porations.
The speech was made before the
Utica Chamber of Commerce at the
annual banquet of that organization.
The Governor replied to the critics OF
the Utilities bill with a warning that
the will of the people cannot be per-
manently disregarded. He demand
ed a free hand for the proposed State
Public Service Commission in regu-
lating the corporations of this State.
Declaring that Federal regulation
is not State regulation, and that Fed
eral powers and State powers are ex-
ercised in different spheres, he OBJ
jected to a general court review or
the administrative acts of the pro-
posed Public Service Commission, on
the ground that it Is not In accord
ance with the theory Of our Govern
ment that an attempt should be made
to convert the Appellate Court into
an administrative board.

messages to Congress at the begin
ming of the first AID second sessions
Of the last Congress. The President
concludes his letter to Mr.. Smith as
follows:
You will see In the W speeches
and the two messages that J. have
said about all that I would say If 1
spoke now. AS I said to your body
the other day, I have already ex-
pressed again and again my carefully
thought out beliefs. I am o firm
ly than ever convinced that these be-
liefs are wise and that the policy I
recommended in my messages at the
opening of each OF the last regular
sessions of Congress must be carried
out. Just at the moment l do not see
that 1 have much to add to what L
have already said. and I think that
what has occurred since I wrote the
two messages in question merely IL
Illustrates in striking fashion the de-
STABILITY of the course | therein out
lined"
To summarize the statement makes
clear the following four points:
First-That the President intends
W duuClS llSlOly " LIE oiA0t pA1Ao
for the reform of the management OF
railroads, regardless Of the adverse
criticism which his course has pro-
voked in some quarters.
Second-That he Is not hostile to
railroads, but, on the other hand,
wishes to do all in his power to safe
guard the stability of the securities
now in the hands Of investors n
give a square deal to all.
Third-That he has no idea of en-
forcing a physical valuation OF the
railroads, believing that the corpora
lions themselves will compile the
figures.
Fourth-That he has not aban-
doned his purpose to deal with the
matter of over-capitalization of rail-
roads, and will take up that subject
again with the next session of Con-
greSs.

Improvement of the Harbor Of Havar

Improvement of the Harbor OF Havah
A Cuban newspaper states that the
announcement that an American syn
dictate about to be formed would put
an end to the l~ighterage annoyances
in Havana by the construction of a
great pier for the landing of their
ships, has been hailed with the great
est delight by all who are interested
in simplifying transportation facili-
ties in and out of the harbor, and
that importers and exporters are
unanimous in the opinion that such
an improvement would do more for
the prosperity of Havana and the
whole island than any other improve
ment. The journal adds that in
many cases it costs more to send and
receive freight to and from the ships
in Havana Bay than it does for the
sea freightage to and from New York.

A FRIENDLY GROCER
Dropped a Valuable Hint about Coffee,

For about eight years." writes a
Mich. woman, i suffered from merry
ousness-part of the time down in
bed with v prostration.
Sometimes I would get numb and
it would be almost impossible for me
to speak for a spell. At others, l
would have eve bilious attacks,
and my heart would futter painfully
when 1 would walk fast or sweep.
Il have taken enough medicine to
start a small drug store, without any
benefit. One evening u grocer was
asking Husband how I vas and he
urged that I quit coffee and use Pos
tum, so he brought home a pkg. and
I made it according to directions and
we we're both delighted with it.
80 we quit coffee altogether and
used only Postum. l began to get
better in a months time and look like
another person, the color came back
to my cheeks, 1 began to sleep well,
ny appetite was good and | COM
menced to take on flesh and become
interested in everything about the
house.
Finally I was able to do all my
own work without the least sign of
my old trouble. 1 am so thankful for
the little book, The Road to Well
ville.' 1t has done me sc much good.
I haven't taken medicine of any kind
for six months and don't need any.

Postum as she made it, liked mine,

enough, l.er's was as good as mine.

Newcastle, Pa.-The Mahonins'

NAMES ICE CROP.
Nearly 100000 Tons Harvested Dur
ing the Past Winter. =.

Gardiner, Me.-Although definite
figures of the Maine ice crop for the
past winter have not been compiled,
careful estimates place the amount CT
the harvest at between 100000 and
500. 900 tons. OF this amount AGO.
900 was harvested on the Kennebec
River, nearly 100000 on the Penob-
scot and the balance housed or
shipped from smaller streams anu
ponds.
Contrary to the expectations at the
opening of the season, the harvest OF
ice in Maine was not a record break
er, as the steady cold weather per-
mitted the cutting of a bigger crop on
the Hudson River than had been
looked for, and it was found unneces-
sary to work the Maine ice fields to
the greatest capacity. The largest
crop ever taken in Maine was IN
1890, when the total harvest by prl-
vate individuals and companies
amounted to 100000 tons.

MONDAY. FEBRUARY IL.
SEAT OR HALE FARE.

A Pennsylvania legislator thinks
he has solved the agitation for a seat
for every fare on trolley cars. He has
introduced in the Pennsylvania leg
islature a measure which Is respect
fully referred to Mayor Pagan, of
Jersey City, who has undertaken
something along this line in that
city.
The bill in question sets forth that
Sit shall be the duty of every carrier
to provide each passenger with a
seat" and mo carrier shall refuse to
receive passengers upon n con
because all seats are filed
The bill then provided that in case
any carrier shall fail to provide a
seat for a passenger, only ona.half the
customary fare shall be collected for
the entire journey. If the passenger
presents a full fare ticket the cou-
ductor must give him q voucher for
one-half the price, which must be re-
deemed at any ticket Office of the COM
pany or received as one-half fare at
a future time. The penalty is 500,
to be paid to a passenger.
af OF course, there are defects in
even this measure. Nothing. appar-
emily, is said about what would oc-
cur If, after the passenger has paid.
but half fare, a passenger who has
been sitting should alight at the next
corne and he should get a seat. Like
wise, supposing a man gets a seat and
pays full fare and a short time later
gives his seat to a lady. Who gets
the reduced fare, or is there to be no
reduction?
The scheme does not look as if it
would work very well, but it is bet
ter than the idea of mo seat, no
fare When a man wants to get
somewhere he wants to get there
quickly and simply because there is
~ seat he is not going o wait for
the next car. Yet the company would
be justified in refusing to permit any
more to ride if no fare could be col
lected.> There are many faults to be
found with trolley companies, but the
one which is now prominently before
the public is one Of the least of these.
