LONG AND SHORT HAULS.

The LONG and short haul provision
which ibe insurgents in the House Of
Representatives have inserted in the rail
road bin is doubtless demanded 10y pub
li,. sentiment in a large part of the
West. but il would probably upset the
adjustment Of freight rates all over the
country In its most general aspects
The provision forbids the charging Of "A
higher rate for a short haul than for
long haul upon the same line At first
impression that seems just. But funda-
mentally there is q sound reason for
most OF the higher charges for short dis
dances than FOR long ones Of which com
plaint is heard.
The most famous recent case Of this
sort that came before the Interstate
Commerce Commission WAS the Spokane
ease Spokane objected 10 paying higher
freich: charges from the East than the
Pacific Coast towns further West had
Ia paw The reason fer the difference in
this case MAS that the railroads had TO
meet competition with The shipping
which also carried freight 10 the towns
on the coast The advantage which coast
and river and lake towns enjoy over
interior towns Is the result not OF j con
spiracv at railroad men. but of their
natural position. Nor can ii he concluded
because the railroads are charging
only certain amount in the face Of
water competition that therefore they
caa afford To make Il proportionately
lower rate 10 a place where the haul is
shorter and the competition does not
exist.
In a similar way railroad competition
coulDels lower rate for a long than for
2 short haul. Two roads run between
two places 100 miles apart. orc by a

The explanation that the Human riots
were organized by influential political
leaders as a protest against the foreign
railroad loan policy of the imperial gov
eminent is somewhat more than plau-
sibe In several provinces the gentry
have made vigorous protests against the
building of the Hankow-Canton rail-
road or any others with foreign capital.
and Human is about the most aggres-
sively chauvinistic and anti-foreign of
them all. We may sympathize with the
Chinese desire to avoid any increase of
alien control and influence in domestic
matters, but the natural alternative is
for the Chinese to provide the capital
themselves, and that they do not seem
able or willing to do. TO let the empire
go without railroads just because they
could not be built without foreign CAPT
tai would be q mistaken policy.

twenty or twenty-five people at the

The old negro was very serious
however, and made his statement the
second time. IT was then discovered
that he was harmless, and with great
ceremony Justice CrutchieId rose
from his revolving chair, placed his
hands upon the Negroes head and told
him to go forth and preach as much
