The Railroad Problem.
A number of Interesting ami vain
able imttein were read ami tlisnniHed
t the recent ooventions of the New
York Board of TraUa and Transporta
tion, each exteudiug from three to
four ilayts. Among theee papers wax
one read by Hon. Martin A. Knann.
on the subject of "The extension of
the Powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission." Mr. Kuapp in
dhalrman of the Interstate Commerce
CommlfWton, and he gave a clear and
thoughtful review of the railwav
question, and of the Jegislatioii
-whiohis necessary alike for the per
manent advantage of the public and
the railways.
In opening his address he makes
clear the important distinction be
tween injustice by rate-cutting mid
injustice in rate-making. The Com-
- mission, Mr. Knapp claims, is power
less to ferret out the various devices
"by which preferential rates are ob
tained and to punish railroad officials
ior failure to observe their published
Honeuuies. Tliee, lie contends, are
uisunmmauons between individuals,
and should be placed in the category
of mfsdemeanors. No amendment
in the law by Congress in the direc
tion of givingthe Commission greater
power in enforcing penal remedies
for rate-cutting, he thinks, will meet
the eaee, but the remedy may better
be found in legislation which will re
move the cause for this species f
I
wrongdoing. In Mr. Knapp's opinion.
it can best be stopped in tin's way
How can rato-cutting be stopped "
The most efficient and available
remedy for this evil.inmy judgment,
is legalized pooling. The carriers
should bo permitted and encouraged
to contract with each other for the
movement of competitive traille, and
thereby havo it in their power to re
strain and control the unseemly strife
-which inevitably results in fluctuat
ing rates and vicious discriminations.
Tlio benefits supposed to result from
railroiul oomtitiim I liiIiov tn bo
greatly exaggerated. Those who up
hold the present policy apparently
assume that the public gets the same
sort of advnntage from competition
between carriers as from competition
between producers and dealers gener
ally. That this is a mistaken and
fallacious view I nm fully persuaded.
The "objective value of competition
rests In the power of selection, and he
who is debarred from choice must be
deprived of any direct advantage
from the rivalry of others. As to
most of our wants broadly speaking
every person in every place has the
opportunity to choose. And this lib
erty of selection is commonly enjoyed
as to the ordinary needs of life,
whether simple or complex.
But in respect of railroad transpor
tation only a few people compara
tively are bo situated as to have any
available choice between carriers. So
that, without amplifying the argu
ment, tue simple fact Is tnat only a
small percentage of population, and
an exceedingly small fraction of ter
ritory, are so located as to have any
practical opportunity for selection in
tho matter of public carriage.
In advocating this plan of action,
Mr. Knapp is ndvaucing along the
lines of the experience of .'railway
management, not only in the United
States, but in England and in all
other countries where railways are
not under state control. Such a
course of notion would undoubtedly
secure that uniformity and stability
of rates which all right-minded men
desire. Mr. Knapp takes the ground
that carrier should be allowed to
combine their facilities to the end
that wasteful warfare between them
may be prevented and the economies
of association applied to the busi
ness of public transportation. The
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion distinctly sets forth that
such combination would in no way
increase rates to the publio, because
it would be within the province of
Cans re to cloth the Commission
with proper authority to enforce just
and reasonable rates, i' air and work
able laws, he says, should be enacted
to protect the publio interests against
exorbitant rates, and when these are
secured, the public have no particular
Interest in the manner in which the
business is divided between the sev
eral oompeting roads. The first ques
tion is of vital interest to the public,
the second of little importance.

LAST SE ASON'S BOMINENT SUCCESS
Mow to
Cure Catarrh.
Every sufferer from Catarrh should
V.novr that it 19 impossible to cure the
disease with sprays, washes, Vihala
Uous, etc., whicu are universally used.
In fact, the experience of growing
worse nil the while is proof that the
treatment is all wrong. Many
who have been under treatment for
vears and met with dinamraltttment In
stead cf benefte are willing to doubt
that th ;re is any cure for Catarrh.
I lie trouble la that an ol tlie treat
ment t'ley lia; received has been tnis-
uirecta J, atiu lias not loucueu ineir
trouble. Catarrh is a stubborn deep-
seated blood disease, and everybody
should know that to simply treat the
surface, that is, the local irritation,
does not reach the disease. A blood
remedy is needed, but it must be a eood
one; a remedy which goes down to the
very bottom of tue trouble anu aorces it
out. S S.S. (Swift's Specific) is tho only
one which can have the slightest effect
upon Catarrh, for it is tbeonly one which
goes to tlie seat o: tue disease, anu per
manently gets rid of it. This is the only
teasonuuie way to treat aiarrii.
Mr. B. r. McAllister, of Ilarrodsburg,
Ey., hud Catarrh for years. He writes:
"I could see no improvement what
ever, though I was constantly treated
with sprays and washes, and different
inhaling remedies in fact, I could feel
that each winter I was worse than the
year previous.
"Finally it waa brought to my notice
that Catarrh was a blood disease, and
after thinking over the matter, I saw it
mt unreasonable to expect to be cured
by remedies which, only reached the
turface. I then decided to try S. S. S.,
and the n suits were Eratlfying, for
after a few bottles were used, I noticed
a perceptible improvement. Continu
ing to take the remedy, the disease was
forced out of mv Bvstem. and a com
plete and permanent cure was the
result. I advise all who have this
dreadful disease to abandon their local
treatment, which ha9 never done them
any good, and take S.S.S. (Swift's Spe
cific), a remedy which can reach tho
disease and cure it."

SBLF SOPPORTIKG CONVICTS.
The New York Stnto Plnn Gives Mm
Inetit nttefHotlmi.
Albany. Nov. IB. The problem of how
stnte convicts shall be kept at work
without competing with freo lator has
seemingly been solved by the law which
went into effect on Jan. 1 of this year.
This law provided that alt state Insti
tutions, departments and political di
visions should purchase all their sup
plies and articles of equipment from
the prisons It such could be manufac
tuerd there. Since the law went into
operation requisitions have been re
ceived for over $760,000 worth of goods,
which guarantees the continuous em
ployment of convicts. As it costs but
J600.000 annually to maintain the
prisons, they are therefore made self
supporting under the new system.
Speaking of the matter. General Aus
tin Latlu-op, superintendent of state
prisons, said:
'None of the methods of employing
oonvlcts during my administration of
ten years have been self supporting
with the exception of the new one, An
enormous amount of money will be
saved to the state. Next year's trade
will amount to $1,000,000. We sell at a
price below that of the markets, so
that the books of the Institutions
themselves show a net profit in making
purchases from ub."

Paris, Nov. 19. The allegation that
Alfred Dreyfus, the former captain of
the Fremh artillery, was falsely ac
cused ami i-mn li-ti (1 by a-mirt martial
of selling French military plans to the
agents of a foreign government con
tinues to be widely dlrjcusced In Paris
and throughout France.
It Is clpJmed that the documents
Dreyfus was charged with selling to
Germany vere never really sold to tho
agents of that country, but were pre
pared In imitation of Dreyfus hand
writing, to blackmail him, his wife br
ing a wealthy woman and he hlr . If
being In good circumstances. The p''it.
It would further seem, was enncc.,,,-1
in 1888, when the w.v of Jew lialti if
swept over Europe. Dreyfus is of
Hebrew extraction, and these Jackals
of Parisian society, casting nbout for
funds, determined to "b.eed this
wealthy Jew."
Dreyfus, however, it Is said, refused
to pay the sum demanded, knowing
that the purchase of the document
woulde taken as an admission of his
guilt.
The friends $ Dreyfus further assert
that Count Valuing Esterhasy was
assisted In his treason by an Alsatian
sergeant major, who Is now In Alsace
and has made a full confession.

Boston, Nov. 19. A letter was re
ceived here yesterday from Captain
Charleson, of the four masted schooner
Clara 15. Itandall, of Portland, Me., now
In port at Matanzas, Cuba, which tells
of the great 'distress and suffering In

Matansas Is filled with fever stricken
and dying soldiers, and that hundreds
of paclflcos are dying every week. It
Is no uncommon sight on the streets to
men lying In the gutter In their
last agonies, and to see the death carts
slowly creeping about gathering up
their dead bodies. The people seem to
be helpless In their misery, and not
only is yellow fever playing havoc with
them, but they are dying of starvation
by the scores. JIatansas, which was
one of the busiest ports on the Island,
is now almost deserted, and every
where there Is death and pestilence.

more bv his colllslcui with tho floor
than from Sharkey's blows, which were
at all times wild and miserably timed,
