Railroad Appraisal.

1t is irofficially reported that the
railroads West OF the Mississippi and
South of the Ohio intend to make
concerted movement in the courts
against laws passed by the States re-
ducing passenger rates to cents a
mile. The railroads will bite off their
own noses if they succeed, for the loss
OF revenue, if any, on passenger rates
can be used as a good excuse to keep
up freight rates, for q time at least
In the end both passenger and freight
rates will be reduced on those railroads
which are earning over 6 per cent. net
and this with the grating now indulg-
ed in by many railroad officials omit
ted. In fairness to the railroads in
question, it must be admitted that the
less density OF population in the West
and South requires q higher rate than
the East and the compromise rate of
q cents a mile for the present would
seem TO be fair proposition.
In demanding reductions in freight
rates it must also aforementioned that
some through rates On some classes of
goods are much lower in proportion
than On other classes and lower than
for the same classes for shorter hauls
and any arbitrary percentage of reduc-
tion might be an unfair enc and would
not be supported by the courts. No
rate can be reduced below where it is
reasonably profitable to the railroad
under the new rate law and Just where
that reasonable point is must be dis
covered.
1t is very important to the people
that any reduction of rates must be
within that reasonable legal rule and
can be shown to be such when test is
made in the courts. For the people to
be defeated and the railroads be able to
show that reduction was unreasonable
and therefore unlawful, would turn the
hands Of the rate reform clock back
wards and postpone rate reduction per-
haps for long period. The only safe
test is to first have all the railroads
appraised at what they could be replac-
ed for and then what are fair and
reasonable rates can be arrived at that
will be upheld y the courts. Public
opinion should urge the rext Congress
to give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power TO employ expert en-
gineers and real estate appraisers to
arrive at just valuation. Then he
Commission can act Understandings

Pure Drugs.

One good result of the pure feed and
drug law is already accomplished. for
the New York Journal of Commerce
says, Careful investigation along the
line Of whether the national pure food
and drug law has resulted in purer
drugs brings out the fact that the
public is getting better quality of
drugs than ever it did before, and that,
strange to say, the prices are practical
ly the same as they were before the
law went into effect.
Thus another good law forced on the
statute books by Democratic efforts
proves Of inestimable value to all the
people.

For Safety.

The necessity for better and stronger
railroad cars than the death traps
which are hauled over railroads under
the name coaches. and which are
patronized by the great bulk of travel
ers, nearly all of whom are not able to
pay extra for riding in the stronger
and safer Pullman, is emphasized by
the disaster on the Southern Pacific.
The death roll is large, but of all the so
Pullman passengers not one was killed
and only two injured.
The railroads charge fare enough so

 Court This Morning.


 There was hearing in the probate court to-day on an application for the removal of James Sinnott as guardian of his ' months old child, John.

strength to bear her cross. Never

she had made, never for an instant

downstairs, looking like the very

1t seemed to him as II Sarah Irving
herself had come back out of her
long past youth. The hair, the eyes
the figure, the voice, all were
Sarah's.
Don't you think she resembles Sis
ter Sarah, DR.. Bryant?" asked the
fond father.
She certainly does"
"There!" cried Mrs. Irving, 81 was

Sarah Irving refused to marry him
that he should ever see another won.
an he could care for, but from the
first moment he saw Alice, his heart
began to swing around into the right
place. AS day by day he learned to
know her better, he saw more and
more resemblance to the woman he
had loved and lost, and 1t was no
disloyalty to her memory that made
him In a few short months as warm
a lover of Alice as he had been Of
Sarah. AS he reflected upon II Il
seemed like the same love.
Dear aunte," Alice wrote the next
winter, Il want your congratulations

tracted him to me was my resemb-
lance to you, and the more he knew
me, the more he saw to remind him
Of you. He thinks you are as nearly
perfect as woman can be, so can
not fail to feel complimented, but he
says he can never be worthy of 80

Wnen Saran Irving had read this
letter, she laid it down and deliber.

The wound in her heart was closed
over, not without a scar, but there
was no soreness in 1t now. She was

grow heavier they consume more food

not give as good results as do young
