IDLE FREIGHT CARS.

The demand for freight cars is a
fair gauge of railroad prosperity.
Last year there was a persistent out
cry from shippers for more cars.
Eforts we're made in several states to
pass laws imposing fines on roads
that did not supply cars with reason
able promptness. The estimated
shortage of cars last September was
about $4,000 and the roads strove in
vain TO handle the business pressed
upon them.
The panic speedily changed the
shortage into a surplus. Two months
ago there were 100000 idle cars.
June 10 there were $4,000, but
June "a, the date of the last report,
there were $4,000. This is evidence
that railroad business and earnings
are improving gradually in advance
OF the opening of the crop moving
season. When that shall arrive there
will be need for many more of the
cars which now are unused.
OF the cars which have been put
into commission again quite a num-
Der are coal carriers. Here is an
other indication of the revival OF
manufacturing industry. That re-
vival means that the roads will have
more raw materials and finished
products to transport. 1t took some
time for the United States steel cor
poration to get to a reduction in
prices. For months it refused to
lower its rates. asserting that buying
would not be stimulated If 1t were to
do so. Last month II adopted a more
rational policy and increased buying
has followed. That means ultimately
more business for the common car

THE TROUBLE IN CENTRAL
AMERICA.

Central American republics are
engaged Just at the moment in re-
vealing the weak points in the Cen
tral American peace conference. The
then existing governments entered
heartily into the plan for permanent
4arbitration with the United States
and Mexico as judges. II meant per-
manent peace. with their faction in
control. But the "outs" we're not
taken into account. The factions.
which were awaiting the opportunity
10 inaugurate revolutions did not
bind themselves to any agreement
and now when the unrest OF the peo-
piles OF the various countries has been
fomented into rebellion, jealousies
among governments have arisen and
some, hard pressed by fear of an up
rising, are accused of giving aid and
comfort 10 reyolutionists in OTHER
states. We cannot think, however.

government Is made fully acquainted

TREASON IN TINE OF PEACE.

Judge Staples of Wilkesbarre, Pa,
protested effectively against pardons
for election fraud perpetrators con-
victed in his court on the ground
that It would be no less than extend
ing clemency to traitors. Such
words emanating from the bench re-
assures us, that one official member
of that community recognizes the
reasonable character of any moles-
tation of the, population franchise. In
time of war when public feeling Is
high a man, who does anything to
the detriment of the country Is
promptly and severely condemned
and punished; but in times of peace
we are prone to forget that anything,
which interferes with the proper eS
preston Of the will of the people, is
more damaging than giving aid and
comfort to an enemy in war; for the
latter gives the enemy but a temper
airy advantage, arousing the spirit OF
patriotism to a higher pitch, while
election frauds directly affect policies
of government. set a bad example tc
the youth of the land, and subyert
the government by corrupting the
power behind il. II will be a glori.
GUS day when election manipulation'
will be regarded with contempt in
stead of admiration and those guilty
considered traitors to their country.

PROTECTING WITNESSES.

1.-THE indications are that we shall
have no more night riding in Ken
lucky. The verdict against the Hol
lowells and the year in the peniten
tiary for DR.. Champion. together with
sundry other evidence of displeasur'
on the part of the courts and people
have convinced law-breakers that thu
time to call halt has arrived some
time since. Governor Wilson owes
IL to the state now to withdraw his
soldiers and cut on very useless ex
pense." says the Kentucky Stat,
Journal.
We have long been satisfied o.
one thing. The State Journal ant
the Murray Ledger desire the with
drawal OF soldiers, who are guarding
witnesses in the night rider cases
until the cases are tried. The state
authorities promised these witnesses
protection as long as they need IT,
AS soon as they saw the rift of senti-
ment the night riders received In
structions to subside, while those
papers which sympathize with them
create a sentiment in favor Of with
drawing the protection. Should Gov
ernor Wilson do so before the trials.
we have no doubt that the night rid
ers would intimidate, drive away or
kill the witnesses and all the work of
six months would be undone. Gov
ernor Wilson found a dreadful state
Of lawlessness had been fostered in
all sections under the late admins
tration and he has a mans task in
it out. In Kentucky's
name. Mr.. Walton. leave him alone
