The Different Brands of Champagne.

The call for one or another brand of
champagne has always been to a certain
extent matter of fashion, but when one
brand has stood vastly ahead of all others
in sales for a long number of years. in
trirsic value is appreciated: it is therefor
that G. III. Mumm & Co.'S Extra Dry and
Selected Brut stand so pre-eminent. Messrs
Mumm & Co. use only the finest grapes
from the best vineyards for their cham
payne and the quality of their wines
cannot be excelled. -

NO WAR FOR MEXICO.
She Wants to Live on Terms of
Amity With Everybody.

Washington, December 2o.-Mexico's
policy of peace and her relations
with the United States concerning the
Nicaraguan and all other international
subjects was the subject today of a.
statement by Enrique Cree1, con-
fidential agent of the Mexican gov
eminent. Mr.. Creel made the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
Mexico has no intention of hav-
ing any war with Guatemala or with
any other country. Our policy is one
of peace and our relations with every
country are most cordial.
Mexico has not made any repre-
sensations to the state department to
uphold the Zelaya administration.
Not a word has been said to me
by the state department concerning
the life of General Zelaya or a safe
conduct of him out of Nicaragua
$50 far there has been no ex-
preston by the state department OF
differences of opinion from the
Mexican views.
1.-THE relations of Mexico and the
United States have never been more
cordial and this issue of Nicaragua,
is too small an affair to change either
the policy or the feelings Of the gov
eminent and the people of the two
great republics"

number of years, is universally rec
ognized. The experience of every
person who buys any article of ord1-
nary use or consumption is indubit-
able proof to him that prices are
high.
"A very striking exception to the
rule that prices have advanced dur
ing the last few years is found in the
case of railroad rates. 1t must be
remembered that transportation is
the commodity, and the only com
modify, sold by railroad companies,
and that the rates received constitute
the price. Hence, applying the fig
ures above given, if railroad com
pany obtained on January 1, 1897, i'll
freight rates the sum of 800 for
transportation, it ought now to have
in view of the diminished purchasing
power of money, commodities, for
the same quantity of transportation,
the sum of $125. The railroad COM
pany is not, however, receiving the
sum of $125, but, except where the
rates have been reduced by the COM
mission it is still getting only the
500 which it received on January l,
1907, and owing to the decline in the
value of money of 90 per cent, the
500 received by the railroad COM
pany is worth only $50 as compared
with the value of money on January
1, 1907, notwithstanding the payment
to it of the same nominal amount as
previously.
obviously, therefore, where rates
have remained unchanged since jan
uary l, 1907, there has been an act
ual reduction in railroad rates of 20
per cent. caused by the depreciation
in money.
Not only have the railroad COM
panies suffered heavy rate reductions
by reason of the depreciation in
money, and of the action of the rail-
road commission, but for a number
enormously augmented. Within a
few years their taxes have been in
creased more than $1,500,00O per an
mum, and their personal injury pay
ments have also been increased about
$1,000, 600 per annum. The acts of
the congress of the United States and
of the legislature of Texas have i'm
posed upon the railroad companies
the necessity to expend millions of
appliances, in the reduction of the
hours of labor, in requiring larger
train crews, in complying with sani-
tary regulations, and in many other
respects. Some of the legislation en-
acted has no doubt been needed. but
to prevent it from producing injuS-
tice to the railroad companies they
must be permitted to earn the money.
the expenditure of which is necessi-
tated to meet the obligations imposed
by legislation, in addition to other re-
of material and supplies have greatly
increased within the last few years.
and it has been necessary. also, for
them to largely advance the wages of
their employees.

Central Kansas Interurban Railway
Launched This Week.

Abilene. Kan, Dec. 20.-The prelimi-
nary steps of launching the Central
Kansas railway were taken at the or
ganization meeting held here. This is
the proposed interurban railway from
Newton south through Gypsum and
Roxbury to a point midway between
Sa1ina and Abilene and then extended
to both of these cities.
Mr. J.. c. Nicholson presided and j. E.
Brewer of Abilene was secretary. Sa-
lima was officially represented by David
Eagles and c. B. Kirkland; J. E. Brew
er and ]. B. Case officially represented
Abilene, although there was a largo
number of other Abilenites present.
It was decided to go to work at once
on the project. The railroad has been
officially christened the Central Kansas
Interurban railway and il will have a
capital stock of 100000. The board of
directors cannot be of less number than
nine, nor more than fifteen.
"A committee consisting Of j c. Mich

appointed to draw up the bylaws.
Then it was decided that a COMMITTEES

Roads Suffer Many Losses on
This Account.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad Circles.

In declaring that there IS an urgent
necessity for a general increase in
railway rates, Judge w. A. Stedman
of Texas says:
Every now and then some person
writes a communication for the news
papers advocating some reduction in
railroad rates. We venture to say
that the situation of the railroad
companies at this time is such that
any diminution of their revenues re-
sulting from rate reductions would
be unjustifiable. The subject is too
broad to admit of the presentation
within the scope of a newspaper ar
ticIe of all the details necessary to
an exact understanding of the finan-
cial condition of the railroad compa-
MES in this state at this time, but we
hope to be able, by submitting a few
matters, general in their nature, to
show that it would be palpably I'M
just to reduce their revenues.
