time, as great as there Is between Tom Johnson and Caesar, but the parallel in- stituted between Toms proposed free transportation and the 'PaneW ct Cir censes" policy with the politicians of old beguiled the dwellers in the Eter- nal City is not inapt. There should be too much enlightenment and too much common sense among Americans for them to believe in the efhcacy and stability of any system that promises something for nothing; If the people have free street car rides or free any thing eles somebody must foot the bills and taxes will be increased in some other direction that will make the burden equally as onerous.
 Tom Johnson Is what might be called progressive radical. He hrst got prsf promsing gtes'sS scent af4f fare % and noW Se hopes to continue in the public favor by promising free rides. Of course, there must tt be % limit to the 2 petformbe .n 1be promise themselves, and the people will repudiate the demagogue who makes promises when his extravagant liberality reaches the apparently ab-
 But the kind of demagogue of which Tom Johnson is a shining exemplar Is latfon, enacted or proposed, that Is heard about in these latter days. The two great affiictions from which the two extremes. Tom Johnson and E. H. Hartman. The men of the Hartman kind furnish those of the Johnson kind material with which to create increasing prejudice against corpora tlons in general and railroads in par ticular, and out of all of 1t there comes drastic legislation which, by crippling the corporations and discouraging pub lie enterprise, does marked injury to the public welfare.
 The proposed 2-cent rate for railroad fares Is legislation of this kind It Is a politicians bid for popularity In promising the people some saving of money by reducing the income of the railroads without considering the evil 1t may work in other respects.
 Railroads and all public service cor porations should be held within strict legal bounds and never allowed either public. Nothing should be left undone that will throttle the pernicious man Ipulations of the Harrimans but it is a great mistake to cripple these cor porations in their power of usefulness.
 The South needs many new railroads and must have them before its re- sources can be properly developed It needs also much better equipment for the railroads now in existence. The South should be looking forward to the roads with hourly trains in this section as they have long had in some parts of the North. These things cannot be had if the revenues of railroads are cut below the basis of reasonable profit. Besides this, the sparse population and meagre travel of the South must be considered. A passenger rate might he profitable in some of the thickly set- tied Northern regions that would be ruinous here.
 The profit of studying history is the lesson 1t teaches. It is easy from the modern point of view to see both the chicanery and folly of the demagogues who promised the Romans free bread

 Galveston, Tex, March 17.-A case of yellow fever was discovered aboard the British steamer Basil that arrived in port Saturday afternoon. nine days out from Para, Brazil.

Cincinnati. March 17--with a stage of sixty one feet at o'clock this after noon, it was believed that the crest of the big Ohio River flood was not far away.
 Forecaster Paassler has placed the probable crest at not less than sixty three feet, but his estimates anticipated its arrival some time tomorrow atter- noon. The river, however, has been running out very fast, owing to us freedom below because of lack or GVerfuIlness, at lower river points. The crest which was reported at Huntfng- ton, w. Va, this afternoon may pass here before morning.
 Losses cannot be given, although It is asserted with some reason that the damage may far exceed that in the Jan uary flood because of tLe unusual amount of mud carried by the river at this time. In January, there was little of this and many submerged factories lost less than had been at first estim- ated. The present flood, however, has come from unprecedently heavy rains on a soft soil, the result being an exces- sive amount of mud, which has settled on all that it covered, so that the loss will go far in excess of a winter flood. The suffering on the other hand has probably been somewhat lessened by the milder weather, although manya thou sands have been driven from their homes.
 The city suffered a loss of about $150,000 early in the day by the col- lapsihg of the Eighth Street viaduct over the railroads of the Mill Creek Station of the city Three fifty foot spans of this yiadnct went down into the Hood, but the high water is not be- lieved to have been the sole cause of the disaster.
 Fortunately, the accident occurred at an hour when there was no one on the bridge, or there would have been heavy loss of life, as this is the main thor oughfare between the center of the city and Price Hill on the west end. In the carrying away of the section, 110 Western Union wires were broken and telephone communication was cut off, that meaning also the severance of con- nection with all down the river points. . The Western Union. however. put large force of men at work Immediately and before afternoon all wires had been connected and there was no serious de-

 Rome, March IT Pope Plus today received in private audience the Right Rev. Thomas OGorman, Bishop of Sioux Falls. S. D.
 During the conversation Pope Plus said that Archbishop Irelands dis course last December on Church and State in France" was a strong pre- sentation of the Franco-Vatican con- f1ict. Although I knew it caused some dispelasure," his holiness said, Archbishop Ireland was correct as to the remote cause of the conflict when he said that the French clergy and leading Catholics failed by not follow ing the advice of my illustrious prede- cessor.9
 His holiness asked Mgr OGorman about President Roosevelt and ex- pressed pleasure to hear that he was satisfied with the solution of the Phil ippine question. He also requested Mgr O'Gorman to present his regards to President Roosevelt. The bishop in- formed Pope Plus that Mrs. Robinson of New York, sister of President Roose- welt, would arrive in Rome during "holy week and requested his holi- ness to receive her. The pontif an- swered:

The most successful sup per of the last few weeks was given by a young artist who had as his guests many of the men and women most conspicuous in society. Instead of terrapin and game the guests ate buckwheat cakes, sausages, fried ap- ples and other similarly homely dishes. There was no nearer approach to cham pagne than cider, while most of the guests contented themselves with tea and coffee at midnight when the sup per was served. The hosts own chef was displaced that night to make room for a cook loaned by Boston friend. and this importation was the one ex- travagance of the entertainment.

Much of the timber was eitheS pine or cedar It is reliably reported that the Gov ernment will investigate the origin of the fire with the intention of punish ing the guilty persons.
