The Railroads and the Public.

The railroads have served notice on
the people of Nebraska that they need
not expect a 3.cent service for 2-cent
fare. There is arithmetic for that state
ment, however erroneous it may be in
other respects. Some of the finest trains
are ordered discontinued, preachers are
to be taxed full fare, there are to be no
special rates to political powwows, and
excursions are to be abolished This last
however, is not an unmixed hardship.
The matter is to be taken to the courts
on the complaint of the railroads that
2.cent fares are confiscatory. That is
question of fact that will be solved by
proof. 1t is pretty generally understood
that the roads have accepted the situa-
ton in some of the more populous States
east of the Mississippi River, and that
fact is pretty good evidence that 2-cent
fare is remunerative in such teemng
States as New York, Pennsylvania, and
Ohio.
Rates, passenger or freight, depend
greatly on the volume of business. A
railroad can afford much lower rate
between Chicago and New York than it
can between FL Paso and New Orleans.
The freight rates between Pittsburg and
New York are ridiculously low, owing to
the immense tonnage carried; but the
Louisville and Nashville would go into
the hands of a receiver if it gave like
rates between Cincinnati and Chatta-
nooga.
A passenger car between Washington
and New York has every seat taken; but
passenger car between Omaha and
Lincoln, Nebr., will be half empty There
is the difficulty about this rate contro-
versy. Railroads have two missions
/ to serve the public and earn money on
their cost. Unfortunately they have mis-
calculated as TO their duties. They have
too frequently treated the public with
contempt and have had some rather
crude ideas as to the degree of honesty
they should practice in the earning Of
dividends.
That is what all the row is about. II
the roads had been as equitably man
aged as they have been efficiently man
aged, the public and the men who owl
and operate them would now be at al
good understanding as are the public
and the men who own and till farms
1t is Just as honorable to operate rail
road as it is to cultivate a garden; bu
our roads have been manipulated dis
honorably, reaping where they had no
sown and gathering where they had no
!. strewed. A day of reckoning was boun'
, to come, and it is nearly here. All tn
, grand things the roads have done t.
build up the country are nearly forgotten
, Gratitude for that is swallowed in rag
: engendered by watered stock.
We wish the roads we'll out of it, bu
/ they have to face an angry public tina
, might have been friendly. A few dashe
/ of frenzied finance in Wall street max
many dashes of agrarian legislation on
West.
/ 1t is perfectly natural, and the onl
t way out of it is for the railroads to b

American Stallion Register, Vol. !.

We are receiving quite good many
inquiries in regard to this work, when
Vol l. will be published and the price.
Volume |. is a 1200-page book and will
be securely bound in three quarter
leather similar to Volume II. of the Nor
gan Register. We shall make the price
as low as can be afforded, but il will
probably be about S. The body of the
book is now very nearly in plate, includ-
ing $50 pages of very valuable historical
literature upon the gradual development
of the American horse since the earliest
days.
Index of breeders and owners is made,
but not yet set up, and there will be
about 100 pages of trotters in the APP
pendix, yet to be added.
The book should be published by Oc-
tober l. Work upon the second volume
will begin Immediately when the last
type is set in Volume |.
Ellen, Volume H.
We are also receiving quite good
our philosophical work, Ellen.
This volume was nearly ready for pub
fishing two years ago, but we saw that
if the great work on the American Horse,
for it is great work, which, with quite
good deal of assistance, we had been
gathering for twenty years, was ever
to be published. we must attend to il
at once; SO we quit the Ellen and have
given practically our whole spare time
10 the horse book; but as Volume l. of
this is entirely in the hands of the
printers and the other four volumes lie
in copy on the Shelves to be published ir
order, we have found time to begir
again on the greater work, and in the
last six weeks have finished the SECOND
volume of Ellen.
To our great establishment, the ques
tiOns in regard to sound are very much
where we left them two years ago; bu
in closing the book we have made sucl
progress that we will guarantee to thu
schools and colleges of the world new
text books in physics, as the people will
not suffer the old ones to remain longer
For we have succeeded in demonstrat
ing that the sound heard at the tele
phone receiver is the speech of the per
son talking into the sending instrument

ter, carried instantaneously by the cui

This will close up the whole discussion
on sound, and the truth will becom
known to everybody, as 1t has been t
advanced thinkers for several years, tina
sound is composed of infinitesimal partic
les of electrical matter, thrown off fror
the sounding body very much as odor cor

kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

Cactus Feed for Cattle

Arizona stock men will be greatly interested in the experiments which Burbank, the plant wizard, has been carrying on, and which are about com pleted, with the desert cactus with view to developing it's usefulness as food for cattl. and other animals during dry seasons in the arid regions of the southwest
 At one of the sessions of the recent irri gation congress Mir. Bur bank had the following to say about the cactus as a fodder plant:
 Now, 1 wish to get cactus that would produce a great amount of nourishmtnt. That has been very we'll accomplished. 1 have a cactus that will produce 200 tons of fodder per acre. Beets, carrots, turnips, cabbage and almost anything cultivated, produce about twenty tons to the acre for a good crop. while some of the older cactus will produce about 100 tons. My object is to combine this great production with great nutritious; then my opiuion is that the cactus will he the most important plant on eartl, for the arid regions, and 1 have not the least doubt ofsecuring that"

THE ARIZONA RIFLE TEAM

At the time the Arizona rife team was selected at Camp Brodie to make the international tourra ment shoot at Camp Perry; con siderable dissatisfac crion was ex. pressed over The selection of some of the Dead Shot Dicks. Favoritism was openly charged. and the i'm pression prevailed that representa- tive marksmen had not been chosen to uphold the glory of the far southwest Of this we know noth- ing, but the results of the tourna- ment go far to substantiate the charges then made. However that may be Arizona, to her shame and disgrace, stood 37th in line. Indian fighting, frontier rawling. land of Gerodimo and Cyclone Bill, rangers and boot he el shooting cowboys, what are we coming to? To be outshot. undershot and overshot by 36 patches of tender feet is deep draught on the bitter cup of humiliation. Even New Mexico, against whom it is supposedly popular to prate and howl, beat the Arizona team by 90 points. Ge gods, what next? Better a thousand times to have been without presentation ct the National Creedmoor, than to have been misrepresented before the entire country. God of our fathers known of old" as ''bullet splitters," what would they think if they knew that ,hirty-six states in this blessed Union could make Arizona scratch gravel with rife? A generation ago the average Ari zonan could shoot the eye out of saint at 1000 yards; today if we were truly represented at the National Creedmoor the proverbial barn door has either shrunk in size or will have to be made larger if we expect 1t to stop shot. Some good souls are trying to console us by saving that others shot worse. Probah bly, nothing better was ex
 pected of them. Arizona had a reputation to maintain, but she tr"d on a banana peel and her heels went higher than her head. Tucson Post.
