Disseuting OpiuIons

Dissenting opinions were filed by Commissioners Lane and Clements. Mr. Clements contended that there was no Justification for the threatened bur den upon the transportation of this section of the country. either in the needs of carriers, the history of rates or the ability of the public to pay 2 cents per capita more for the staples affected The majority find that the bases of rates in effect at the time of the contested advance had not been voluntarily established by the carriers in 1905. It is difficult, said Mir Clements, to comprehend just what compulsion in law or fact was brought into play which would render these rates compulsory in any proper sense. That further capitalization is required and that investors are to be invited by increased earning power might be as stunned to warrant any increase of rates. Rates long maintained do not assume the character of a vested rgiht The carriers of the southwest have known no such development and prosperity as under the very rates which in this proceeding the com plaintants seek to have restored

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
 MAKES FORECAST Republican Paper Comedies
 Victory to Democrats DOUBTFUL DISTRICTS
JBTFUL DISTRICTS
In the Forecast the. Tribune Gives Most of the Doubtful Cases to the Democrats in the Race
 for Congress

Chicago, November 5.-(Special)-Th people of the United States on Tuesday next will confide to the democracy con- trol of the national House of Represen- tatives. They also will place the dem ocrats and progressive republicans in com- mand ein the United States Senate.
 These approximations are based upon returns received by the Chicago Tribune from it's correspondents in every state ia the union, and their comparisons with the claims and concessions made by the campaign managers of the rival polit- ical parties.
 There are 391 congressional districts. As far as it is possible to forecast the re- suit from the non-partisan reports re- ceived it may be epitomized as follows
 Safely republican, 167.
 Safely democratic 1892.
 Doubtful. 42.
 The voters in the 42 doubtful districts will decide the issue of the battle and the size of the victory. The party that gets the Hons share of these districts will capture the House of the next Con- gress. or course, it Is possible that the republicans may squeeze through with 8 bare margin, but the chances appear to be against any such contingency.

ARGENTINA CATTLEMEN
DEPEND ON ALFALFA
Commercial Agent Suggests the
Fattening on Corn

Most important in making possible
the present beef industry in the Argen-
tine has been the Introduction of al
Agent James Davenport Whelpley. By
means of this new fodder it is possible
to send a steer to market year earlier
than when the animal is fed on native
grasses, and the carrying capacity of
land also is increased thereby from
three to six times.
Alfalfa is principally valuable for
fattening purposes. All animals des-
tined for the freezing works are now
finished on alfalfa. Estancias which do
not have their own tracts send their
cattle for fattening to other pastures.
Fattening with corn is as yet prac-
tically unknown. but it is commencing
on a small scale on some of the most
progressive estancias, and probably is
destined to become general in future.
Argentine beef is not regarded as
highly in the English market as that
from the United States and sells for a
trifle less. The difference is said to be
due largely to the difference in the
method of fattening. Beef from the
United States is fattened on corn,
whereas Argentina depends upon al
falfa solely. The present demand of
the freezing works for a higher grade
of animal means inevitably that corn
fattening must be undertaken, and
there is no reason why 1t should not
be, as the country raises an abundant
quantity of corn for export.

IRELAND PROFITS BY
IT'S COTTAGE INDUSTRIES
Handwoven Cloths, Knitting and
Embroidery Valuable

1t is surprising that the hand woven
fabrics can still survive against the
productions of machinery but the Irish
peasant understands how to dye his
hand woven cloths with lichens and
plants which give them an inimitab BILE
effect, and their qualities of durability
and appearance give them a distinct
value, says Deputy Consul j. s. Arm
strong of Cork.
The centers of hand weaving and
spinning are in Donegal9s Mayo, Come
mara, and Kerry, where there is abund-
ant mountain grazing for sheep with
luxuriant wool and where labor is su-
perabundant. The leading center, how
ever, is Donegal, and it is estimated
that $4,000 a year is paid to the peas
ants of the impoverished and barren
districts of Donegal for their homespun
cloths. The cloth is usually sold at
country fairs, where it is brought in
large rolls or webs about 2S inches
wide. AS a loom of the necessary size
could not be accommodated in the tiny
cottages occupied by the peasants, the
homespun cloths are not made in dou-
BILE widths.
Hand knitting is still able to com
pete against mechanical limitations and
is a means of livelihood to many peas
ants in the isolated regions of the
country The wild district of Kincass-
Tough, in County Donegal, is an impor-
tant center. The Arran industry of
Mayo produces some very fine speci-
mems.
Hand embroidery, as it is done in
some parts of Ireland, can not be sat
isfactorily initiated by machinery, and
is cottage industry of Importance.
Irish art needlework is of the best
quality and will bear favorable com
parison with any produced in Europe.

"TIPS" GIVEN IN
Queen BESS' time
Word Derived From Inscription
on Olden Contribution
Boxes

There are occasional spasms of dis
cussion growing rather more frequent
of late about what is sometimes re-
ferred to as the tipping nuisance. It
is of European origin. Whoever has
Travelled abroad has seen that servants
there are much more insistent than
Americans upon tips which are tax
rather than a gratuity. Here walters
and others are glad to get them but
seldom openly solicit them. Very many
employers pay poor wages because they
expect the public to make up the de-
ficiency and the public does it to such
an extent that some walters and por-
ters are said to have grown rich on a
salary of SIS month The argument
frequently advanced is that the en-
ployers should pay such wages as are
commensurate with the service and
that the tipping custom should be abol-
lshel altogether, says the Utica Press
If this were done the reform would
make difference in the BILL because
somehow every raise of wages is
eventually paid by the consumer
whether it be among mechanics, rail-
road employees or walters
The custom of tipping is much more
aged than people suppose. The In
dlanapolis News the other day dis
cuSslng this question recalls that In
the days of Queen Elizabeth every
coffee house had a box bearing the in
scrlption. ITO Insure Promptness." Into
this box the customers dropped a coin,
by which the waiter, taking account,
was influenced
This is an interesting incident in the
derivation of words. '"Tip" has come
into common use and everybody under
stands what it means. There is no
apparent connection between the word
tip and. the act of giving a gratuity
or an extra fee for some service. The
original meaning of the word "tip" is
very far distant from that which COM
mon acceptance and usage have ao-
corded. Recalling the ancient custom
it will be noted that the word tip is
formed by taking the initials of the
sign, ITO Insure Promptness" put on
the box in the old coffee houses, where
coins were placed to secure additional
courtesies from those In service.
There is good deal which could be
said against tipping, but it is doubtful
If enough will ever be said to prevent
its practice. 1t is commendable human
nature to appreciate courteous service,
and it is likewise human nature to ex-
tend courteous service where there is

CANADA IS DECLINING
Minister of Agriculture Begins
Investigation

A statement in connection with the
sheep industry of Canada, recently is
sued by DR.. J. G. Rutherford livestock
commissioner. calls attention to the fact
that this industry Of Canada, particu-
larly the production of mutton and high
class wool, has been diminishing. Not

but the interest in sheep growing.
The census of sheep in Canada shows
that II does not compare at all favor
ably with other countries of the Brit
ish empire in the matter of sheep rails
ing, Notwithstanding its great adapta-
bility as regards soil and climate.
Doctor Rutherford cites statistics for
1903 showing that there were in the
United Kingdom 31,SSe,833 sheep, IN
Argentina 67.21L754. in Australia ST.
043,266. in New Zealand % 4SO,7O7
while the number of sheep in Canada
is placed at 2,705.39O. He does not ex-
plain the decline, but considers that
It is now time for the government
TO adopt a comprehensive policy and
undertake definite and extended meas
ures toward the uragement, i'm
provement and development of the
sheep industry in Canada
Preliminary to the adoption of a
policy, the Canadian minister of agri-
culture has authorized the appointment
