j. C. Stubbs traffic director of the
Hartman lines, before leaving for the
north Tuesday evening said that the
real purpose of his visit~was to fla

trains. In the course of conversation
he said that, tentatively speaking. the
Southern Pacific would be operating

and some trains inside of three
months. The situation in the north
west is distinct from anything in the
railroad world. The Hartman lines
under the name of the Oregon and
Washington railroad have made an ar
rangement for the use of the Northern
Pacific tracks between Portland and
Tacoma and the same arrangement has
been made also by the Great Northern
with the Northern Pacific This will
mean that three separate and distinct
lines will operate over the same rails
between Portland and Tacoma At the
present time it has not been decided
what is to be done with agencies along
the line. 1t is probable, however. that
Joint agents will be maintained at the
small stations, but at the larger sta-

Both the West Virginia senators
have bad busy week. The pot
terry and glass schedules were up
for consideration in the senate and
West Virginia has a decided in
terest in each. The largest pot
terry in the world is in the pan-han.
die and the state has some of the
finest glass plants.
Senator EIkins had a very fierce
running debate, Wednesday, on
window glass. Senator Cummins
of Iowa, had taken the statement
of manufacturer named w r..
Jones, of Morgantown, West Vir.
ginia, who wanted rates reduced.
The Iowa senator overlooked the
statements Of everyone else, except
this manufacturer, and proceeded
to build his tariff argument on this
foundation. Senator EIkins was
able to show that Jones is "free
trade" dem ocrat; that he is opposed
to paying large wages to working
men and knows if be would get
free trade these wages would all
have to come down.
Senator Scott had an opportunity
to make one of the most telling
points in favor of tariff yet pre-.
sented on the floor Of the senate.

A heated debate on quebracho

afternoon. There is a large Chest

Virginia which desires q protective
rate even higher than that in the
present Dingley law; the Payne
bill gave It but the Finance COM
mittee cut it down. During the
discussion Senator Scott attempted
to have the Payne provision insert

matter was passed over until

heartily congratulated afterwards.
Senator Hale of Maine, the leader
OF the senate by continuous service
and also through ability, hae open
ly referred to this argument several
times. The day Senator Scott
made this statement Senator Hale
addressed the senate At length along
that line and on Wednesday, the
18th, said:
'I said yesterday that the wit Of
man cannot devise a wiser system
of protection against foreign com.
petition than was disclosed yester.
day by the Junior Senator from
West Virginia (Mr. Scott) when he
brought forth the wares-glass-
the different manufactures that
under republican protection were
manufactured in the establishments
protected by the republican policy
of protection. 1t was a revelation
to me-thc chespness--and yet l
knew as a protectionist that that is
what protection does-that it builds
up these great hives of human in.
dustry throughout our whole coun.
try and produces materials tor the
people at cheaper rate than could
in any other way be produced. The
presentation by the senator from
West Virginia Of the glass pro-
ducts showed the result that under
our system of protection against
the foreign manufacturers our man
ufacturers could produce for the
people at rate at which the ar.
ticle never could be sent to our
market if he gave way TO the
foreigner"
All the representatives are now
in Washington. Those who were
away were called back cn account
of the Philippine tariff bill, which
was taken up Thursday. This is
likely to occupy the attention of
the lower house for several days.
Among the visitors to the senate
this week were number of
officials who were attending United

alton and ball players for the
Sunday games at Camden Park
were indicted for Sabbath break
ing by the grand jury of this
county last week. We do not
know when the trials of those in
dicted will take place and thus
settle the mooted question as to
whether or not playing ball on
Sunday is Sabbath breaking, ac-
cording TO the statute, but presume
1t will be finally settled by the
supreme court.
