TAHIFP MODIFICATION PJIOSPEGTS.
Colonel Carson , the clerk of the waj
and moans committee , who is also th
chief representative of the Phlladelphl
Ledger at "Washington , says in tlu
paper that there.is no likelihood whai
ever that any offbi't to reopen the tari
question at the coming session will b
countenanced by the republican leadoi
In either brunch of congress. Ho ropn
sonts these leaders as believing that 1
so far as the tariff act influo.nced the r <
suit of the olccfion'itwas becaiibo of rnii
representation and lack of opportunit
to answer the ussaults rnudo upon ii
They therefore will insist that the noi
act shall bo given a falr.trial and wi
resist all attempts to make any change
whatever at the approaching sessiot
Measures proposing modifications mu.
go to the ways and moans committe <
whoro.according to the excellent authoi
ity of the clerk of the committee , the
will assuredly bo entombed. In tli
opinion of the same authority there ]
reason to believe that if the liouso coul
have an opportunity to vote on sopara !
b lls to make salt , lumber , wool , bindin
twine and other commodities free , ante
to restore the former rate on tin platt
eomo of them would prevail , but specii
care will bo taken to preclude such u
opportunity. "Indeed , " further saj
this authority , "it is doubtful whothc
the ways and means committee will eve
report a bill to correct nn error mad
in engrossing the tariff act by whic
the paragraph allowing rebate on manu
fuctured tobacco was omitted , for th
reason * that should such a bill bo pn
sonted to the housolt would ba in ordoi
to attach paragraphs to It In the form o
amendments assailing the rates of tin
tariff schedules. " ,
This is not absolutely conclusive as t
the Intention of the ways and moan
committee , but it Is very good nuthorit ;
regarding them , and therefore may b
accepted as Indicating that the pros
poets for any modification of the noi
tariff act by the present congress an
very small. It Is not difficult to under
stand that there are strong objections ti
a general reopening of this question
but there la no valid reason why olgh
men in the house of representative
should rcf use to permit any change to b

If the committee shall pursue the arhl
trary course suggested as probable byil
clerk , the effect upon public opinion li
very likely to bo unfavorable , and us
surodly the republican party would losi
thereby. The theory that there wns no
opportunity for the supporters of tin
now law to properly explain or for th
people to fully understand Its chamoto
will not bo so generally accepted n
these who oppose modifications may be

COMPARATIVE I'ASSKSQKR FAKES ,
Railroad Btattstlcans have from tlm
to tlmo produced columns of figures t
show that freight nnd passenger rate
have been steadily reduced until noi
they have reached a point as low n
these prevailing in Europe. Indeed i
is no uncommon assertion that Aracr
can railroad rates , service nnd cauli
mcnt considered , nro in mnny respect
cheaper than in the old world , eve :
where the roads nro operated by th
government. And this is ono of th
strong points urged to she w the sum
riority of private over govornmentownci
ship of common carriers.
At a recent mooting of the manufni
turers' club of Philadelphia , Prof. EC
mund J. James dolivorcdt a lecture o
passenger fares in Europe nlid produce
figures to prove that no railroad in th
United States has yet reduced fare
within fifty per cent of these provuilin
in portions of the old world.
A year ago the government of Austrl
ordered a swcouing reduction of the a
ready low pabsongor faros In Hungary
and the success of the experiment wti
sufficient to warrant its Introductlo
throughout the Austrian empire. Tl )
usual faro for third clcss IB equal to si
and a half mills per tnilo. A thousan
milo ride in Austria costs six do
lars npd a half , instead of nbou
twenty dollars ns in the United States
Suburban rates are still lower. A trl
of six miles or loss can bo made for tw
cents , twelve miles for four cents
twenty-four miles for eight cents , whil
'monthly nndyearly tickets can bo ha
at a lessor rate. . Like service by the rail
roads at populous cities in the Unltoi
States is rarely less than ono cent pb
mile , or nearly four times the Austria :
rate , while the long distance seconi
class rate , five hundred miles and over
averages ono and three-quarters cant
per milo nnd two cents for first class.
Admitting the claim of supcrlo
equipment , increased' first cos , ! ani
operating expenses , there is no valid ron
son why passenger fares in the Unltoi
Statosshould bo from three to six time
greater. The density of population i :
Austria is vastly greater than in thi
country , but nn American travels'
thousand miles on the average to th
hundred traveled by the Austrian.
The experience of Austria affirm
what is frequently demonstrated in thi
country , that the lower Iho rate th
greater the patronage. Traffic invar :
ably increases in proportion to the re
ductiou , nnd the railroad profits by
policy which keeps all wheels in raotio :
and its operatives actively employed.
Prof. James' investigation throws
clear light on the exorbitant tolls t
American railways and suggests th
wisdom ol applying iu this country th
principles so successful in the old worlt
A ffBKDLKSS GOA.li FAMINE.
The possibility of a coal famine alon
the lines of the Union Pacific railroad i
a matter of very serious concern. Ac
cording to our advices the present suj
ply of soft coal Is very short on the lin
of the road , and the incoming supply i
unequal to the demand in spite of th
fact that the mines i are being worko
on half time.
The only rational explanation is tha
the Union Pacific railway lacks su
ficient transportation facilities. A
ordinary winteu-blockado of a few day
will cause the public to pay dearly fo
the Union Pacific's failure'to provld
necessary transportation facilities for th
conduct of its business , , which i
equally the business of the cities am
towns along its lines.
No time should , bo wasted , however
in excuses or criticism , since noitho
will increase the supply of coal or rotar <
the cold weather -which will onormousl ;
Increase the demand. What the com
fort of the people of Western Nobrask
now demands is that every effort bo pu
forth to hasten the transportation c
coal from the western mines and tha
arrangements ba entered into with otho
railroads to forward enough coal fror
eastern sources to inaho up the short
ugo.
% ugo.And
And this should bo done without un
duly Increasing the prlco of coal o
transportation to the consumers , win
are the victims of the situation ratho
than the cause of it A coal famine wl ]
bo a needless calamity. The railroad
should provldo against it as far as pea
slblo. This is not a good time to add an ;
now bitterness to the fooling which th
people of the west already entertain 1 ;
regard to tholr treatment at the hand
of the railroads.

St. Paul Dispatch : Jay Gould is said

very poetry of revenge. The doctrinal !
Adams lias in his essays on the science i
railroading said some very vgly things aboi
Gouldism in general and Jason Gould in pa
ticular. But in the practical conduct of rai
road affairs , Mr. Adams seems to have live
ns closely up to the Gould Ideal as his brnii
would enable him to do. Now to fiud hit

court. Ono night , glittering with
jewels and orders , the young prince , who
was ono of "the handsomest mim iu Rus
sia , danced in a qundrlllo opposite the
Empress Cnthorlno.
As she.passed him in the dance she
fancied thnt his eyes scanned her gro. *
flguro with covert amusement. After
tlio quadrille she beckoned to him , and
with a Btuilo hnnded him her tiny Ivor }
tablets , containing seven pages , ono for
each day in the week. On the first was
written :
"Tho imperial ballroom , St. Peters
burg. "
On the Inst :
"Tho mines of Siberia. "
Ho rend it ; his fnco grow gray U3 that

"My miuutosjaro numbered , lot us no

Flight or resistance was impossible. \
The hold of Catherine on hoi- victim
was inexorable as death. Prince Vorit-
zln was forced to remain passive in his
palace , while each day the power , the
wealth and the happiness Unit lifo had
givcn-him were stripped from him.
First ho was degraded from all his of
fices nt the court ; next his estates were
confiscated by the crown ; his frionels
wore forbidden to hold any communica
tion with him ; his very nutiio , ono of the
noblest in Russia , wns taken from him
nnd ho was given thnt of n , serf. Then
his wife nnd children were driven out of
the pnlaco to-hord with the beggars.
"Tho last day , " says the record ,

Tontine Systems In lilfo Insurance.
The Russian ministry of finance Jias
formed a plan to prohibit the opctation
of the tontine and soml-tontlno princi
ples of lifo insurance throughout the em
pire , says the Boston Commercial Bulle
tin. But since there is no systematized
sot of laws in Russia regulating the work
of insurance , the now plan will bo hold
In abeyance until the .imperial council
moots during the autumn and outlets
such n sot of lawn. As soon as the now
laws are put in force the charters of nil
the insurance companies will be revised
with a view of preventing the operation
of the tontine principle.
This is in line with the Massachusetts
law which prohibits our own state com
panies from doing tontine insurance ,
though companies organized in other
suites are illogically permitted to write
tontine policies in this commonwealth.
A very largo proportion of the poli
cies written in this country embrace the
lontino idea in some form or degree.
Especially in the west is the speculative
toaturo of insurance attractive. It is
not often that wo can look to Russia for
reforms , but in this matter she is cer
tainly loading the way to correct prin
ciples in life insurance. 1 ,
II life insurance Is to bo regarded as a
beneficent institution for the protection
of the widow nnd the orphan , and not as
a business enterprise , all speculative
Features should bo rigidly excluded. On-
Ihis basis the tontine systems uro wrong.
Those who take these forms of polleios
simply gamble on their lives or endur
ance ; they who persist or survive , re
ceiving in addition to Iho accumulated
dividends on tholr own policies , these
which accrued on the policies of holders
who lapsed or who deceased before the
expiration of the distributive term.
