GOOD REBATES ANU BAD REBATES.

The Washington Post under the
caption Good Tldings'' felcitates the
country in the statement of Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, that railroads are contrite
and penitent and are undergoing a
change Of heart, and will soon be good:
that rebates are to oe no more and
unlawful combinations against trade
are things of the part. The Post says:
But out of the inquiry of rebate
came some good. When James j. Hill
built the Great Northern the line pass
ed through hundreds of miles OF dense
forests OF the finest timber. lie induced
men to go there and open sawmills by
giving them rebates on lumber. BY
his efforts billions of feet of lumber
were put OF the market to the advan
tage of every man in America who used
lumber. Hill carried the products of
those sawmills at an actual loss, but
profit resulted to him in the building
of cities. towns, and villages along bis
line, and the opening of farms. These
gave enormous business to his road
that fetched and carried for them. But
for the rebates on lumber granted by
the Great Northern, those forests
would yet be virgin and the railroad
bankrupt.
That was an example of benefcent
rebate. But when a great ironmaster,
of Pittsburg demanded of the Penn
sylvania Railroad rebate On the steel
ne shipped to the seaboard. and got il
yUhon no cd In llpl
if it was refused and not made exclu'
sive, that was vicious rebate thai
would better be named blackmail.-
HIPS rebate was granted to commuDi-
ties. The other was for private inter
ests.''
The whole rebate system was and il
Ubiquitous, and notwithstanding thi
apparent good seen by the Post the re
bate whenever granted was given Il

Carnegie who forced terms with tn

competing. Zines, was not a fight for ,
rebate but fight for lower rate, ant
whilst rebate did come from it, il
came because the policy of the Penn
sylvania was to devour all whom i
c,uld devour. 1t simply said to Car
negie ''you let US alone, We will Civ,
you rebate if you keep your mouJl

duction. We have too much easy frui

 The great iron master is accredited with a burning ambition to get back his money where he lost 1t, and to harbor deep secret and implacable purpose to run q prodigious bull campaign in the stock when the situation shapes itself so as To make bull market possible.
 MT. Prick has very intimate knowledge of the real merits of Reading and un- dying confidence in it's altitudinous value. At the proper time there will be organ ized a holding company to take over the anthracite coal mines and when that dav arrives then will there be disclosed to the world an exhibit of equities which will be simply paralyzing.
 Some of the leading officials of the steel trust were quite willing to drive a hard bargain in acquiring possession of Tennessee Coal and Iron. Some of the leading members of the Tennessee Coal and Iron syndicate are said to have given offense to wives of officials by not &C., cording them coveted social recognition.
 Gossip has it that these influential ladies of the corporation sraid thumbs down when they learned of the plan of the big company to take over the little one. It transpired, however. that certain fe- male relatives of syndicate members were also related by blood or marriage to leading bankers who were particularly in- nuential in naming the price and shaping negotiations, so as to save weak syndi- caters from financial extinguishment. It appears, therefore, that the fair sex took a lively part in one of the picturesque episodes of the panic. It would appear from the gossip that their. influence was to large degree offsetting, but they were nevertheless Johnny on the spot' to the extent of their ability.
 Washington is likely to be factor of even greater importance than usual in the Wall street situation within the next six or eight months. Of first importance from a scenic point of view will be the Roose- welt attitude on important Issues. Wall street hears that the President is going to materially soften the vigor of his cam paigning against unrighteous aggrega- tions of capital and against corporations.
 On the other hand, information that ap- pears to be strictly inside has it that the President remains unshaken in his con viction that he and his administration are being made the victims of gigantic con- spiracy and that 1t Is not his intention to let up on the malefactors and plotters beyond possibly deferring renewal of at tack until the present financial excitement calms down.

 Just why Dr. Wiley, the governments s pure food expert, should have cared to take chances with restaurant food is not known. Not long ago he walked into a Washington cafe and took a seat. He ev- idently knew just what he wanted, for. waving aside the bill of fare the lowing waiter proffered, he said:
 Bring me chicken pie-one of those little individual pies."
 few minutes later it was set before him, brown and hot, and with smile of anticipation he broke the crust, to find. just beneath, a 3-inch feather.
 Take this away!' he commanded. What does 1t mean, anyway, tell me that?"
 The waiter was evidently a man of re- source, for he immediately leaned over and said in a confidential voice:
