RATES

Unlawful Agreement Between the
Railroads and Steamships
Entering Galveston.
NO BENEFIT FROM GULF
Schedules on Steamships Are Higher
Than in 1891, According to
Witness-Hints Of a
Combine.

San Antonio, Nov. 20.-Veiled
hints to the interstate commerce
of an Illegal rate agree
ment between the railroads and
steamship companies operating be-
tween New York and Galveston fur
nished underneath the surface the
most sensational feature yesterday
at the hearing of the Texas COM
plaint against the advance in freight
rates to this state.
In effect, suggestions were made
apparently for the benefit of the
commissioners and with the hope or
directing their attention to condl-
tions that tended to prove that the
railroads have for several years had
an agreement with the steamer lines
whereby the latter maintain rates
to a certain height so as not to force
competing railroad rates down too
low, and that in this arrangement the
steamer lines get larger proportion
of the revenue on through rates than
they are entitled to.
Before the railroads put the re-
cent advances in effect, it is said,
they consulted the steamer lines, but
the low rates established by the
Texas City company, not party to
/ the agreement, somewhat disrupted
plans 1t is claimed such an agree
ment is in direct violation of the in

interest in this nature of the pro

Cost Of a Presidential Election

Including pay for time devoted to an
election in 46 states once in four years,
a sum of money is expended that
would be sufficient it is estimated, to
put all the unemployed at work, rs
we'll as give the poor the neeessaries
Of life during the winter. The cam
paign subscriptions represent but u
small part of the total expenditure.
No effort has ever been made to ascer-
tain the total amounts paid out by the
parties in a national campaign and the
aggregate can but be estimated. An
immense sum is practically wasted.
Even to collect and transmit the
election returns on single night
costs. says the Boston Globe, fully
$5,OOO,OOO, as follows:
Telegraph and telephone service 81, 500, 600
Newspaper bulletin service. 900, 900
Private bulletins. stereoptieons,
rent of halls and labor......... 100000
Police service. 49,. 49ooo
Total. -. ........So,oooiooo
If it costs 100000 to transmit the
news on election night, the total cost
Of the campaign must have been in
deed an immense sum. Whether there
will ever be a material reduction IN
such expenditures is doubtful. The
country becomes more populous from
one election to another, and the Amer
lean people seem to be willing to ex-
pend a vast amount of money on max
ing the quadrennial change in state
and federal Offices.

Post Election Forecasts

The making of cabinet forecasts for
inspection by the President-elect has
taken the place of forecasts of the
electoral vote, and the chances are
that the former will prove as illusory
as the latter are now known to have
been
Atlanta, always first in an emer-
gency, steps to the front presenting
the name of Banker Robert J. Lowry
for a seat in the new cabinet The
portfolio of the treasury has been pre-
empted by the friends and admirers OF
Colonel Lowry, and the basis of their
claim is the increased republican vote
in Georgia. Fully 20 counties cast re-
publican pluralities, but as there are
nearly $50 counties in that state the
customary democratic plurality was
never in doubt
The gossipers are also busy in as
signing places to the defeated and to
the retiring President. To Mr.. Roose-
welt they have assigned the presidency
of Harvard university, from which
Charles w. Eliot is to retire next May.
Mr.. Bryan is to be sent to the Senate:
and so is Mr.. Kern, the new legisla-
lures of Nebraska and Indiana being
presumably democratic, but the new
legislature of Nebraska does not elect
a Senator. It remains to be seen how
closely the correspondents have fore
cast their fate.
Cabinet making will go on right up
to March 4 next, and innumerable
names will be offered to the President
elect. Good cabinet timber can be
found in all states, although none has
thus far been suggested or located in
Alabama.

Hard Winter Predicted

wise animals go to the trouble of grow
ing heavy coats for winter wear the
hunters begin to stack up an extra
supply of firewood and the darkies to
chink the cabin and to lay in all the
lightwood knots they can find.

may deride all such long-range weather
representations as these, but never
tneleSS some or them may be as Sclen-
tific at the bottom as are some of those
that go on bearing the sanction and
approval of the government. The gov
eminent can do some things well, but
it has no signs that reach to the days
that will follow the Christmas holi,

folks who are close to nature we must

REIGN OF THE DOLLAR WATCH.


1.-THE little dollar tin watch seems to
have displaced the wooden nutmeg as the
emblem of my state" said H. A. Walker
of Hartford, Conn, at the New Willard,
last night '.and it is carrying the name
of the state to corners of the world that
never heard of such a place before. The
little tin watch and the little tin alarm
clock are as much of Connecticut as
Yale university, because they were in
vented in Ansonia, and New Haven Is the
headquarters of the industry. They are
now being shipped to Central Africa, 10
all South American countries, to China
and Japan, Russia, Turkey and even
Arabia, and they are making their way
in Germany and other European countries
that make cheap watches themselves
"A shipment was made not long ago to
Punta Arenas, the mining town on the
extreme tip of southern America and the
southernmost town In the world. Others
have been sent to Greenland The little
dollar watch may yet become almost as
important to the United States as the
chicken, the aggregate value of which, it
is said, equals the value of the output
of the whole iron and steel industry"

ent, there is the wide-sweeping signif-
canoe of the application of pure science to
industrial ends, and there through the
entrance of efficiency into factory prac-
tiee. That the one follows upon the heels
of the other is best exemplified by refer
ence to Germany. Fully quarters
OF all the patents of real chemical i'm

course in Germany that W find efficiency
in factory practice the sine qua non to its
operation. The American manufacturer

material upon an ultra-protective tariff,
upon negligent government supervision,

tanned in his factory, will bitterly rue his
ignorance and his negligence.

THE THEATRICAL TRUST.

From the Kansas City Star.
The theatrical trust retards the pro-
gress of the American drama because it
has a tendency to vitiate popular taste.
Its sole consideration is material profits.
1t is inevitable, of course, that this should
be the main consideration with the men
engaged in the business of producing and
booking attractions. But when practically
the whole stage is subject to the will and
the taste and the greed of few men who
make business their sole motive, then
there is little hope of rapid advancement
in the development of the drama.
But the real sufferers are the actors, the
dramatists, the individual producers and
the theatre managers, all Of whom are
forced to pay exorbitant tribute to the
trust. They have no freedom of action.
Yet Mr.. Warfield declares that a repre-
sentative number of any one of these
classes could, by combined resistance,
break the power of the trust in a day.
If this is true of the actors or the pro-
ducers or the managers separately, how
much more forceful would be a combin-
alton of the leading representatives of all
these classesl
The public has its own defense. 1t does
not need to patronize the theatre. 1t has
a powerful weapon If it chooses to use
it, and it can use it without much sac
rifice. But the real victims of the trust
cannot act effectively unless they act
concertedly. And it is to be hoped that
some day they will get enough courage to
shake off their oppressors.
