A Fremont, Neb.. paper thinks
that there is not enough faint in the
world to faint the s32, 600, 900 that
John d. Rockefeller gave toward the
educational fund. There is no reason
why Mr.e Rockefeller should not make
restitution Of his money taken
from the people OF the country, but
what we wish he would not do in the
future is to keep raising the price
of his commodities every time he made
a donation. That is net the right
kind of philanthropy and it is not
appreciated a little bit.

The voice of Senator Depew is
said to have been heard in the United
States senate in a short debate a few
days ago, for the rirst time, seemingly,
in ages, and also that Tom Platt
made al effort to rise in his seat and
say something, but he failed in
making his voice heard. There was
a time when New York was something
in the United States senate, but the
little state OF Idaho is more prom
inent in that body, and several
smaller states might be mentioned in
the same connection that stand over
the empire stats. New Workers are
anxious to send new and younger
timber to represent them IN the
senate.

The Standard Oil Co. is reported
to have distributed an immense
amount OF coin in the past ten years
something like $500, 900, 600 in
dividends. AS a philanthropist Of
a certain character the Standard
stands unrivalled, but the weak point
OF its philanthropy is that the money
does not 90 back to the people who
gave it. Just for a joke Mr.. Rookie
Teller might reduce the price of his
oil and gasoline three or four cents
a gallon for the period of a year, and
make the public at large have an
interest in his beneicence.

BANKHEAD NAMED FOR SENATOR.
Attacks Bryan In HIS First speech After
Receiving the Nomination.

MONTGOMERY. Ala. July iO.-Former
Congressman John II. Bankhead was
nominated for United States Senator to-
night to AL the vacancy caused by the
death Of Senator Morgan.
The nomination was made by the Demo-
cratic joint Legislature oaucus and was
practically unanimous.
The nomination was made almost i'm
mediately after the organization of a Bryan
clnb among members of the Legislature
for the purpose Of carrying the State for
the Nebraskan.
Mr.. Bankhead signalized his nomination
by making a speech earnestly condemning
government ownership OF railroads. He
declared that the adoption Of the policy
advocated by Bryan would mean the death
Of the nation.
Il am a Democrat. I hope declared
Mr.. Bankhead, but I see nothing Demo-
cratic in the proposition that the Govern
ment take charge Of the railroads Of the
country"
The Bryan men made no on
Mr.. Bankhead's address other than to
say that they intended to see that the
Alabama delegation to the national con-
vention should be for Bryan.

LONDON. July Io.-Two officers of the
British Navy. Commander Hall and STAFF
Surgeon Rees. AVE invented an apparatus
which, il isexpected, will emove the present
dangers to crews navigating submarine
boats. 1t is designed to enable the men to
escape from the vessel even il il is filed with
water or poisonous gases.
Experiments carried out by the Admiralty
Mt Portsmouth proved. il lie stated. that the
apparatus will fulfil what is claimed for it.
and il is likely to he adopted soon by the
British feet.
The invention resembles a diving helmet
with a jacket attached. II contains an in
genious oxygen generator. the chief feature
OF which is that the oxygen may be breathed
Inc rebreathed repeatedly for several hours.
because the carbonic acid in the respired
air is absorbed by a special substance allied
oxylithe.
The apparatus also has the qualities OF a
life buoy, and the wearer when under water
can by a simple manipulation rise to the
surface rapidly and hoat until rescued.
The apparatus can be hung handily within
a submarine boat. and can be donned in
thirty seconds. Even in the most poison
GUS fumes of chlorine gas. which sea water
generates when il comes in contact with
the batteries Of submarine boats. the wearer
can live for an hour and twenty minutes.
Commander Hall says he does not want
10 keep the patent a secret, and there 10 no
reason why foreign governments should
not use the apparatus.

RAILROADS WIN BIG RATE SUIT.
a.. q. Court Declares virginia Commission
Has No Power To Enforce rderss.

RICHMOND, Va, July 10.-If the opinion
of Judge Pritchard. which was handed
down in this city to-day in the United
States Circuit Court. is sustained by the
Supreme Court of the United States, the
Virginia Corporation Commission will be
shorn OF all its powers as a judicial body,
and it will he Invested Of all authority to
regulate railroads.
The ruling Of the Court was made in the
cases of the six railroads which appealed
from the recent decree commanding them
to reduce their passenger rates.
Judge Pritchard holds that the Corpora
ton Commission. under the Virginia Con-
stitution, has no right to exercise the
functions of a court; that its functions
are only legislative, and that therefore
1t was not acting as a court when it at
tempted to put in force the reduced rates.
The effect of the opinion Is TO continue
the restraining order granted at the re-
quest Of the railroads.
Attorney-General Anderson, chen asked
to explain the significance of the suit, said:
The court has granted an injunction
against the State Corporation Commission
which stays any further proceedings by
them under the order made by the COM
mission on April ~. which fixed a two cent
fare for passengers on the main lines Of
Virginia and rates varying from two and
one-half to three cents On certain branch
lines. until further order OF the court"
