FRON OTHER PENS
ARE THE RAILROADS BLUFF1NG?

ARE THE RAILROADS BhOFF1NC
Those railroads whose officials have
thrown out the yelled threat that I'M
less the government permits the de-
manded increase in freight and pas
senger rates they, will quit the BUSH
ness and turn over their property to
the United States. are adopting fool
ish tactics. Nobody is deceived by
that kind of argument and the rail-
roads can not hope even to gain SYM
pathy, a good asset sometimes, by re-
sorting to it.
This long pending fighting over rates
has served to show that the people de-
layed their policy of railroad rate
regulation too long. The railroads be-
came too much accustomed to the
good old easy ways of the past; the
people were too patient and tolerant.
What today seems to the railroads as
hardship, will eventually be viewed by
them as eminently fair and just.
But in the meantime, the people are
not ready to have railroads owned
and operated by the government any
more than the railroads intend they
railroads owned and operated by pri-
vate capital under proper government
regulations and this is what they are
going to insist on. The railroads have
no reason to fear the power or the
people, for there is a dominant ele-
ment OF sober justice IN this country
that will never sit by and see injus-
| tice done the acknowledgements Bee.

BEAUTY OF OLD AGE.
AS a rule people mellow with age. AS
| experience ripens into knowledge ami
mosities should fade into charity and
| love and wisdom deepen. 1t is often
| impossible to ward off infirmity, but
neither age nor infirmity need mean de-
| creptitude and age need not mean I'M
happiness. Nor should age narrow a
/ person. 1t shoCld distinctly broaden
| and deepen a man or a woman. What
| is more delightful than the grandmoth-
/ er in the home who can cheer and helE
| by her seasoned experience and he1
| glowing affection? She has been al
| along the highway of life and knows
| its pitfalls ard temptations. Her, last
| years should be her best for the OPP
portunity they offer of helping others
/ to walk where she walked better thar
/ she did.
Renaissance is concomitant of age
but it is TO warrant for that narrow
| fallacy that the good old times were
| the best and the old person who car
| get away from this delusiun can be
happier with less effort than the one
| who lives entirely in the yesterday OF
life. How delightful it is to see ar
old person who keeps up with the times
reads the papers and new books and
conyerSeS on the questions of the day
| and how much more resrect age like
this commands that that lies down t.
die just because the evening of life has
come. What is there in death that such
. life can vet?-Omaha Bee.

Horse Aged Fffty-One.


Yesterday was Jerseys fifty-first
birthday. There may not seem to be
anything remarkable about this, for
there are undoubtedly many Of that
name who have reached that age, and
there are surely some who are many
years older.
But this jerry is a bay horse, and
for the space of A. years he has been
in the possession of John Unruh, who
lives at the county line near the Holy
Sepulcher Cemetery, on Mount Airy
avenue.
Just to show that he is still in the
running and not on the way to the
boneyard Jerry yesterday helped to
plow one acre of ground, and, accord
ing to his owner, he did it as well as
any and better than some horses which
are many years his junior.
But for his came1-like back and a
few b1otches of gray hair, Jerry stands
his age well. His eyes are clear, he is
steady on his feet, and has a remark
able appetite.
Jerry came to the Unruh farm Aug
ust 10, 1863, when he was exactly 4
years old, and since that time has been
q willing and faithful worker for his
master He has paid for himself many
times over, and because of his faith
fulness Mr.. Unruh said yesterday that
there wasn't enough money in the
country to buy the old horse.-Phila-

STICK TO VIRGINIA SITE.

Called to explain why they have
chosen site within three miles OF the
homo and grave OF Washington at
Mount Vernon for the proposed new
criminal reformatory for tho District
of Columbia, the district commissioners
reply that advantageous location on
deep water on the Virginia bank OF the
Potomac and difficulty in obtaining
any other site on the Maryland or Vir-
einia banks OF the river, on account OF
excessive price, we're the motives which
induced them to choose the Belvolr
tract.
The tract is situated on peninsula
across Dogue creek from Mount Yer
non.
A few days ago the regents OF the
Mount Vernon Ladies Association,
through Senator Dupont, filed pro-
test against the selection OF site $50
close to tho grave Of Washington for
criminal institution. Mrs. Rogers,
yice-regent for Maryland, was one Of
the signers OF the protest. The COM
missiouers in their explanation state
that the land will be SO used as not to-
be detrimental, from a sentimental con-
sideration, to Mount Vernon. The
site is over three miles from the grave
OF Washington, is we'll wooded, and
the commissioners say it is their inten-
ton to erect the reformatory buildings
and the barriers around them in the
centre of the tract, leaving the sur
rounding trees to screen the institution
from sight OF Mount Vernon.
