keepers, and the active spectators in
all helds, large or small, are pro
greSsists."
These two factions, organized in a
country only two-thirds the size of
Pennsylvania, are not large. They
constitute two machines, mutually in
terlocking and interacting, which di-
vide the spoils. These consist not only
OF offices, but of contracts and con-
cessions, charters and franchises, a
snare IN the management of the ma
tlonal treasury deposits in the banks,
and graft on buildings, offices, taxes,
and the state revenue.
Instead, however, of keeping one
party in power all the time and divid-
ing lesser spoils with the minority, in
Portugal, the two parties" go in and
out, and have only one common reso-
lution-to permit no reform which will
end the graft by which both parties
profit. In May, 1907, an agitator and
reformer who had repeatedly exposed
abuses, Franco, gained power because
the king suddenly left his friends. and,
after nearly year of reform and ex-
posture, in February, 1908, the sover-
eign was assassinated, and Franco fed.
Between the accession of Manuel, in
February, 1908, the present sovereign,
and last December there were four
ministries" each representing one

select new men. This failed. In De-
cember last the Progressionists came
in and ran until June. A great bank
scandal then involved their leader, and
this ministry fell

what is in progress in Spain. This
is likely to be anticipated by a coun-
ter revolution by the conservatives,
determined to keep al they have. But,
as in the past, Portugal will probably
worry through with plumber enough
to go around many exposures" and
much reform" but no Improvement.

WHO SHALL FIX RATES?

The railroad rate hearing which has
been in progress in Chicago is really
fight between the stockholders and
the public. The former. who have been
receiving large dividends on holdings
which in many instances have cost
them little or nothing are naturally re-
luctant to give them up. For the main
tenance of these dividends and for
needed improvement to meet growing
traffic the patrons of the roads are
expected to pay.
AS a result of the inquiry it will
probably be determined TO what extent
and in just what manner the commits
sion will undertake to regulate rail-
road schedules under the provisions of
rate law enacted at the last session.
The question as to whether the gov
eminent or the railroad will fix the
charges is apparently at issue. The
queries that have been put to one af-
ter another high place railroad official
by the attorneys for the commission,
have brought out a large amount of
information concerning capitalization,
reinvestment of surplus earnings, divi-
dend rates covering the increase in
capitalization and other incidentals of
railroad financing which have a rela-
tive bearing upon the rate question.

NEW PRODUCER OF CORN.

The United States, which has stood
practically alone in the matter of sup
plying the worlds markets with corn
may soon be forced TO recognize a
formidable rival in Africa. The ship
ment in one vessel of 6.400 tons. or
$1,000 bags. of corn from Durham to
Mexico in August indicates the ex-
tent to which the export of this grain
has increased in South Africa.
During the first six months OF 1910,
163,7S0,225 pounds of corn were ex-
ported, valued at $1,654,371, as COM
pared with 16.222,57s pounds, valued
at $182,708 in the corresponding per-
iod of 1909. It is expected that the
calendar year 1910 will far surpass
any previous year.
The average price at which corn
is being purchased in the principal
producing sections of South Africa
the Orange Free State and Transvaal
is $40 per bag of 200 pounds for
round yellow and s1.82 to $1.S5 per
bag for white flat.
In addition to the shipment men
toned, some very large cargoes are
being sent to England

He Died for Others.

Engineer Fred Bosworth Of the VAL
ley division would have been alive and
about today if he had Just jumped
from his engine Thursday afternoon,
instead of sticking to his post and ap-
plying the brakes that saved nobody
knows how many of his passengers.
He sacrificed his own life for the lives
of those whom he knew only in a gem
,eral way that they were people who
had intrusted their wellbeing to his
care. This is bravery and fidelity of
the highest order. 1t deserves the full
est recognition. Everybody who reads
this paragraph travels on the cars and
trusts his life to the unknown man on
the engine, and the dead man, Bos-
worth, represents the courage and
trustworthiness of the occupation. The
Courant, after careful investigation by
one of its reporters. gladly joins in the
movement to raise a purse for his fam
lily. We make our own subscription Of
500, and invite others who are moved
to give practical recognition to this
act of self-sacrifice to add what they
feel called to give, sending it either
to the Courant or the Times. Any one
Of us might have been on the train
that Bosworth saved, and any one of
us may be on a train similarly jeop-
ardized by and by. Let the engineers
see that the rest of US appreciate what
sort of men they are.-Hartford

PEssINnsTs M BUSINESS.

Complaints continue to be sent out
by the commercial agencies of the east
on the state of business. The crop
situation, if favorable, was expected to
restore confidence in the world of
trade and start the wheels of com
merce to revolving with increased
velocity. Late reports indicate that
the harvest will be all that could rea-
sonabIy be expected, yet trade does
not respond.
R. G. Dun & Co. attributes this ap-
parent apathy to politics and the con-
tention over freight and passenger
rates on the railroads, and they are
probably right. Last year it was the
presidential election. Is there no rest
for the country? Probably not until
corporations show a disposition more
nearly to do the fair thing by the pub
lie. Also, if they could get away from
the idea that there is any disposition
to treat them unjustly, it might help
some. The public has ceased to be
frightened by threatened stagnation of
business. The people have heard the
cry of wolf too often to be again
alarmed by it.

OH. STRONG DFsIPEs,

Oh, strong desires that hurt the heart
With useless strife of blunted wings,
weary of your travailings.
Mny must you always surge and start
Wnen l am nearest happiness?
across the freedom of the sky
Like dazzling phantom gods you fly,
ana seeing you, my Joy is less.
When sometimes by an April brook
beneath the birchen buds I kneel
And almost turned a dryad, feel
Inc thrill of that green life which shook
Old woodlands that the Hellenes knew
w hen every breath is rare and good,
Ihere sweeps a Shudder down the wood
Wlld-hearted wonders pierce me through.
Or when beside the hearth I lie
and listen to the liquid flame
w nile one love most speaks my name
And IN that peace my dreams all die
Then from the shadow-pools beyond
Our small red-circled joy, there leap
Tall shapes, fantasticaI as sleep,
To call US mortal, helpless, fond;
And blind my eyes with visions-vain,
Enormous, never known on earth
A longing for immortal mirth
That mortal lips may never stain.
Oh. strong desires! Oh worthless wings!
Star-reachdngs, heaven-failings. why
VIII you remind me I must die
To taste the utmost joyful things?

TAwNEY,s DOWNFALL.

The New York World in comment
ing editorially on the defeat of Con-
gresham Tawney for denomination
in Minnesota, has this to say:
James A. Tawney, defeated for re-
Minnesota district, is a Cannon organ
ization man, but he has been much
more than that.
LAS chairman of the committee on
appropriations he has fought sturdily
against extravaganza. He has been
jingoism's most powerful opponent in
the house. He has been hated and
feared by logroIIers and jobbers. He
has upheld the constitutional right of
congress even to the point of defying
a lawless president.
Mr.. Tawney found enemies among
all the elements that he opposed, but
none so fierce as Theodore Roosevelt,
whose attempt to rule without law
sponsibility he defeated. Minnesota
insurgents have punished Mr.. Tawney
for his Cannonism and his high tar
iffism, regardless of his distinguished
public services in behalf of economy,
honesty, peace and law"
All of which, if true, merely proves
that when the people go after a thing
in earnest they cannot be diverted
from their purpose by side issues.
All Mr.. Tawney's other services to his
party and his country did not over
shadow his tariff record which was
the main issue in the campaign
against him.
