From the New York Times
The lobbyists" at Washington, who
are encouraging the Republicans in their
scheme OF delay, do not represent the
efficient portion of the business COM
munity, even the efficient portion of those
who have benefited by the tariff in the
past. They do not deserve the atten-
ton they receive from the opposition
leaders. The conservative element In
business longs for decision as soon as
Il can be reached.

Not until a late hour yesterday eV
ening did the wrecking crew clear
away the wreck of Central railway
passenger train No. IL, which occur
red Sunday night near Shellman. In
formation given out at noon yesterday
was to the effect that the wreck would
be cleared before night. Mr.. Calvin
Carter, of Americas, was a passenger
aboard the derailed train, and de-
clared yesterday that it seemed ii
miracle that no lives were lost, AMI
none of the passengers more seriously
injured.
The train is heavy one, running
through from Montgomery to Atlanta,
via Americas, and carries three day
coaches, two sleepers, mail, baggage
and express cars. Every car of the
train was derailed but none turned
over, although several leaned we'll
over the embankment, beneath which
the washout occurred.

OUR NEGLECT OF FOOD FISH

Henry T. Fincks Food and Flavor.)
All over Germany fish breeding in
ponds is an important industry. The
total area of fish ponds in the Empire
probably does not fall far short of d
quarter of a million acres. Carps are
grown in special abundance, and
German carp are very good to eat, es
pecially when they have been artific-
tally fed and fattened with rice, pota-
toes, fish-meal or dairy refuse. Other
kinds grown are perch, pike-perch,
tench, cells and trout of several kinds,
including the American rainbow. The
trout are all fed shellfsh, slaughter
house refuse, horse-meat, fish-meal and
specially-prepared foods.
Progress along this line of gastrol-
omic civilization will be boon to the
American farmer. There are tens of
thousands af lakelets and ponds in
our country, most of which might be
used for fish culture They will be 50
used by the farmers as soon as we have
learned the lesson the German ponds
teach, and stopped buying the fiavor-
less frozen stuff sold in our fish mar
kets.
The plain and distressing truth ia
that our great shellfish business, the
pride of gastronomic America, will be
ruined altogether unless the barbar-
Gus custom of discharging the sewer
age matter of cities and villages into
rivers and the ocean is stopped. 1t
seems increditable that we, with our
incalculable wealth, should be so far
behind Europeans, especially Ger
mans, in this matter of keeping our
sea-food clean and edible. The dispos-
a! of sewerage matter after German
methods is the most important prob
lem now before the American public.
more important by far than tariff ques-
tons, war ships, irrigation projects
