This will be a decided promotion, is jriven in ; recofrni tion of Minister Dawson's work. . Of decided interest to the trav eling public is the decision of the .luttrstate Com men'. Coniriiis--sion that the Bailroad cannot grunt ppecial rates to theatrical troupes as has. bw-n the custom in the past, The decision my or may not affect all the traveling public. That is as the railroads tae it. The present law provides that there shall be no discriinina tion in passnf;r rates, and it is held that there is discrimination if th" railroads allow, a special rate to theatrical organizations and not to other associations of people. If tb beatrical rate U kept in force, then an association of tea or more other irsons of any colling can dniand and re ceive the sumw treatment.. ..This will be nice for the ttavfling pub lic, a,nd will be apt to make o operative traVelin? the fashion There is quite a crowding at the counter tor- th position o Commissioner of Patents t hat will tw lelt vaeant by tlie resina tion of the present cdinniiseKion er, V.

There is on record thecae of one commissioner who used to fco every evening to his office near' the Patent Office and- pre pare c.ases that he would have to pas on in his capacity of com missioner the next day. It is like-y-that a Bi'lectionwill be made froiri Inside the Patent Office and it. is thought that Secretary Gar fifld, who now has the.Ioterior Portfolio, will appint,the pres. ent ashistant commissioner E1 ward B.

Pos'tmaster General , Cortelypu has just, appointed a commission pursuant of an order from the last Congress, which will have the job of weighing;, every piece of mail matter and keeping track of the expense invoved in handling it tor Jhe next six months. It has been contended for years that the railroads v;ere getting too much for the .service 'of trasporting the iqails. But at the same time there was no accurate data on which to base a a. ciJculatioh. There, wes always a slight deficit 1 ii the roct",l revci'iB.but it hard to locate it and say whether the railroads werejEetting too much for their work ot whether some closs of mail matter was paying less than its fair share of the expense. Of course tnere are many different sorts of mail mat ter, letters, papers and periodi cals, newspapers sent out by the publishers and paid for by the pound, government books a n d documents that pay nothing at all and a great mass of franked Congressionalcorrespondence. All these 1 various classes of matter! will be weighed and an account keptofthe cost bMansporting them, and as the result of this executive inquiry, a general re adjustment will be made of post age rates and railway mail pay. The Bureau of Corporations is hard at work on the investiga tion of the so-called Lumber Trust. Little can be .learned of the progress of the investigation, but it is said that some remarka ble facts are likely to be brought out. One of the most striking tilings in the whole inquiry is the iact that no one knows for cer tain that there is a lumber trust or who its moving ppirit is There is no doubt about the identity of the men behind the Standard Oil ;Company, the Sugar Trust, the Beef Trust and the rtoal Trust.

In these days, when men aye singing the praises of the gener ous Carnegie, it is a novel experi ence to find fin interrogation mark mjthe chorur of approval which marks the donations of the millionaire. Yet the question was raised by Mr. Carnegie him self when he said: . "It is all a dream to me, and I cannot come to realize that I have had anything to do with it at all. And what have -1 done really? My bunker tells me that I have so many bonds; I never ev- eh saw them. Did I earn them? Well, I started the machinery go ing and they came to me.-' An exchange declares that the wealthy Scot did not .earn his vast fortune. And, taking Mr. Carnegie at his word, he did not acquire his millions by the sweat of his brow. But he laid the foun dation of his vast fortune when he made the pennies take care of the pounds. After that a kind government helped him to pile up the money which he now gives a way so liberally. But theexchange referred to puts another light on the millionair's wealth w hen ' it says: " - "No small part of Mr. Carne gie's fortune consists of money taxes on the people for his own benefit. He used the power and the result is tha t .he to-day has bonds which he "never saw" and which he himself is hot certain that he earned. This of course, is anold 8tofy, but it is interest ing. It is especially interesting in that . it was called to mind by Mr. Carnegie's extraordinary per tinent question. It is vastly to his credit that lie has out grown the views, which he, no doubt, once held, and has come to un derstand that he is under obliga tions to the public obligations that are' particularly binding in the case of such a man as he. In. deed he talks verymuch of wealth as the haters of "plutocrats" do. "Dollars," he sajrs, "are only dross until spiritualized means to an end, and miserable is the man, mean and squalled his life, Who knows no better than to deaden his soul by mere posses sion, couuting pver the hoard which holds him down or using his faculties in old age in aug menting the useless stuff which ministers not to any taste . wor thy of man."' If the United States govern ment aided 1 Mr. Carnegie in a maesing his fortune, it undoubt edly assisted every millionaire in the country. But Carnegie is bet ter in one respect than his fellow capitalists; he is endeavoring to get rid of his wealth in a way which should atone for any ruth lessuess in obtaining it. Ashe ville Citizen.

Senate and that the endorsement by the President, would probablp help Mr. Overman in his candidacy for- leadership. The correspon dent evidently got the informa tion from a sensation-maker. This paper did notprintthe story or pay any atteution to it, but a number of papers printed in the theory that there was basis for it. Others made it the occasion to urge the selection of Overman for leader: others made it t h e occasion to declare that if Roose velt favored Overman that such endorsement would do him no good. It was then and only then that Mr. Pence showed that there was no real foundation for any. part of the Btory. The Washington-Times in its Sun day's issue publishes the follow ing accurate aud fair statement which should close the incident: "Senator Overman's friends in Washington say that he is in no sense a candidate for chairman of the Senate Democratic caucus, which carries with it the party floor leadership. The report has gained wide circulation that the North Carolinian.is an applicant for this difficult and thankness position, and that he is Presi dent Roosevelt's choice. In this is Involved the implication that Mr. Overman is a "White House Senator," as are those Democrat ic Senators called who support administration measures. Their number are few, and the North Carolinian has not been classed with them; On the contrary, there is no stouter partison on t h e Democratic side of the Senate. He has not employed invective in criticising' the President, as have sojne of his Democratic col leagues, neither has he - been ful some in praise of the Executive, either in private or public. At the same time he maintained cordial relation at tne White I louse,' and goes there freely whenever his duties direct his foot-steps in that direction. Although Mr. Overman has served only four years in the genate, he has ac quired an influence in that body that tanks him among the lead ers, but his friends say that even should any of his . colleagues ask him to enter the rae for Arthur P. Gorman's shoes he would de cline to do so' News and Obser ver. , ' ' - - There's many a ton'c in the land As by the papers-you can see: But none of them can equal Ilollister's Rocky Mouutaiu Tea. M.
