Expect Railroad Lobby,

Because of the appearance Of high rail-
road officials at the capitol of Missouri to
lobby against the 2-cent fare bill in that
state, II is presumed that they will appear
In Des Moines next week or the week after
to lobby against the measure here. Five
bills have been introduced In the legisla-
ture here and there is strong supposition
that one of the measures will pass.

Abyssinia,s Future.
'om the Washington Post

From the Washington Post
 American bosoms that are truly pa- triotic will swell out and thrill with pride over the news from Abyssinla, otherwise known as Ethiopia. The Emperor Men elk, king of kings and friend of Consul General Skinner, has organized cabinet, and has been seized with the fever of constitutionallsm. His people are report. ed to be frantic to grasp the advantages of modern civilization, and mighty tide of commerce between Ethiopia and the United States Is about to rise and sweep everything before 1t. The New York Evening Post is pleasurably excited over the prospect of aggrandizlng the ex- changes between America and Ethiopia, and points out the reasons why Mene- liks people will become great. The Abyssinians are now referred to as the Japanese of Africa" says the Evening Post, "and there is, in fact, parallel to be drawn between the two nations. It is not merely that both were only a short time ago thought of in connection with musical comedy and now have a vic- tory over a great European nation to their credit. but that in Abyssinia, as In Japan. the system of feudal loyalty. when turned to modern uses, has shown a sur prising yigor."
 "Abysslnia really has a future" adds the Evening Post. Well who has denied 1t? This journal has always stoutly cham ploned Abyssinia, Menelik, the Immortal Skinner treaty, the growing elephant tusk and playing-card commerce, and all the rest. Did not the Post exult when the statistical returns disclosed the fact that beeswax and lion skins had been added to the article of commerce ex- ported from Abyssinia? What newspa per was ahead of the Post in announcing a heavy percentage of increase in our ex- ports of whisky and Bibles to Abyssinia? It is no new idea to us, this suggestion that A3yssinla has future. Not only has Abyssinia future, but 1t is safe to assert that Abyssinian commerce has q greater proportion of future in its com

Hereditary Divorce.

AS matter of fact, divorces run
b families. The children OF d.
rorcsd mother are the likeliest them
selves TO contract alliances which the
law will have to sever. There have
been numerous instances of families
m sisters or brothers who have gone
through the divorce courts in almost
unbroken succession. This phenom.
snon sheds some light on the true
causes of divorce and suggests that a
very large proportion Of the separa.
lions which the law countenances are
due not to an initial fatal mistake"
nor to complete "incompatibility. nor
even to the actual misdeeds OF either
party, but to mental and tempera-
mental pecuiliarities. Not the insti-
tuition Of marriage Is at fault, says
Chicago Sun, not the mistaken union
Of antipathetic personalities, but the
human nature of one party or the
other to the compact Divorces are
prevalent In certain families. So are
incorrigible levity, disagreeable dis
positions. unwillingness to abide the
of a deliberate act,
deficient philosophy.
