 New Orleans, La., March 14.-Liver- pool fully met the decline in the American markets yesterday. Futures there were lower and spots 8 lower. Spot sales today are large and amount to a total of 12,000 but evil dently demand is being readily satis- fled.
 Anticipation of better stock markets and of a bullish visible supply state- ment tomorrow as we'll as weather map, brought some buying to our market early in the day and caused an upturn of ten points around the opening. The proximity of the cen sus report which is expected bullish is another reason why the bears arc timid and little buying affects val ues so quickly.

 New York tried to push the reac@ tion on light forecasts of receipts to- morrow at Houston and New Orleans, but support was only spasmodic as the less favorable spot news received lately from Europe has shaken confi- dence.

INNOCENT FARES AND FULL


 The Baltimore Sun treats rather exhaustivelN tiie action of the rail- roads in Nebraska: "A 2-cent-a-mile law became effective on Thursday last, and the railroads of the state seem to regard the law as so hostile that they have instituted war of retaliation against the people. They have issued a circular to their agents abolishing all the special rates for clergymen, all reduced rate orders for excursions, for dis abled volunteer soldiers, for char 1ty, or upon whatever account they may heretofore have been issued. Hereafter, it is ordered, there will be no reduced or special rates to conventions, no homeseekers' excur- sions, no one-way settlers rates and c "c Sommutation nor round-trip tick cts. The only possible rate is the legal rate of cents a mile estab- Iished by the YegIs1atdre.'
 =, The Sun then proceeds: Upon what theory or principle have ex- cursion and communication rates and Special rates to conventions, etc, >been granted by the railroads in the past? Have these reduced rates been fixed for charity or for profit? It has been the general impression in this part of the coun- try that the railroads run eXcur- sions and sell commuters tickets because it is profitable. Will it be any less profitable because the regular fare has been reduced? Sup pose, for illustration, the West ern Maryland Railroad company should become offended with the legislature of Maryland It is like ly that they would manifest their resentment by discontinuing the Pen-Mar excursions? If they did so, would not people come to the Conclusion that the managers of the company had become suddenly de- mented? The excursion business has become one of the most profit able branches of modern railroad ing, and the great profits which come from the low rates at which excursion tickets are sold might reasonably suggest the idea that if the rates on all trains were re- duced to the excursion rates, the trains would be long and the cars would De full. But some railroad ofhcials in the West seem to prefer high local rates and empty cars to low rates and full cars The prob- abilities are that the Nebraska railroads will make more money on the 2-cent rate than on the higher rates which have prevailed here tofore. At all events, it would have been more business-like and dig nified to accept the inevitable cheerfully and in good faith and give the new rate a fair trial and then, if it proved disastrous, they could probably get redress either from the courts or the legislature . The people of no state in the Union have any desire to wreck or ruin railroads. They know, and espec- lally in the interior states where there are no waterways to mar ket, that their existence as pros porous communities depends upon the railroads. If the railroad bnsi- ness were made so improbable by law that the running of trains should be discontinued, it would De the people generally who would suner. therefore the railroad com panies have every assurance that there is no public desire to destroy railroad property. It would be far Wiser for the Nebraska railroads to

THE OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.

Entered at Postoflice at Pine Bluff, Ark, as second class mail matter.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1907-02-06

S. ]. Race, in the February num-
Der of School Education, maintains
his position as loyal friend to the
interests of the school ma ans. In
summing up the report Of the inves-
tigating committee recently referred
to in this paper, his conclusions were
as follows: Some striking things in
the report are these: Teachers
wages are lower than those of un-
skilled laborers. Policemen receive
500 more, firemen $50 more and
janitors $18 more per year than the
average teachers wages in cities.
Farm laborers are paid about 500
more per year than teachers. An
efficient county superintendent with
salary of $500 finds her necessary
expenses so great that at the end of
six years of hard work, she is 1874
short.
