The present short session of con
gress Is gradually coming to an end,
with the chances growing less and
leas each day for any action giving
greater authority to the Interstate
Commerce Commission In Its dealing
with railroad rates and In regulating
the same. About the time the coun
try thought the tariff question was
the one that needed attention, the
president diverted attention to the
railroads by a message In which he
advocated empowering the commls-
clon with authority to deal with the
rate question. Last Monday night,
In a speech before the Union League,
of Philadelphia, the president re
stated his position and urged the rich
magnates who compose the league to
Join In his effort to remedy the
wrongs which he intimates the rail
roads arel guilty of
It Is protty well conceded that the
Tho railroads aro taking the Initia

railroads will roach an equitable solu
tion of tho matter by raising rates all

Swayno Impeachment trial and tbe
other matters before the present con
gress will I take up all of the time
which thatibody will have at this ses
sion. Now, the question Is will the
president cnll an extra session of con
gress to take up the question which
seems to he a hobby with him at the
present time? If the president’s par
ty will sltintl squarely behind him In
his effort, It will not require very long
to enact tho law which will give tho
commission nil of tho power which
Mr. Roosevelt would wish Invested in
It. The Democrats are all wit hhlm
In his light at tho present time, al
though many of them might "go over”
It. Tho Democrats aro all with him

which he is making. Thoy are follow.

see fit to call tn extra session of con

LE880N8 FROM THE JAPANE8E.
Whllo Mr. Wu Ting Fang was min
ister to the United States from Chi
na ho used to mako occasional
spoochos on tho Eastern civilisation,
In which ho claimed that whllo tho
Christian nations would havo a great
Influence upon China, through their
missionary efforts, China would nl-
bo have a very wonderful Influence
upon thoso nations thnt put them
selves In touch with her. Tho writer
has heard Dr. Young J. Allen, a mis
sionary In China for n half a centu
ry, say on more than one occasion
that tho Chlneso, morally and
ethically arc considerably ahead of
us. He said that It was the shortcom
ings of tho Christian nations which
made the work of the. missionary so
hard In the Flowery kingdom. The
better class of Chinese wore so well
ducated, he said, and so well train
ed morully that they refused to take
up tho teachings of tho missionaries,
because, he said, Ihey bclievo the
Christian nations and people do not
practice what they preach.
It was Just a little while ago that
a looked upon Japan ns a dark,
heathen nation, just ns wo lmve bec-n
taught to regard China. Since the
war between China and Japan eight
or nine years ago we havo found out
moro about the little brown people,
and since the dispute arose between
Russia and Jnpan we have learned
•till mote about them. The more we
have aoen of the Japanese character
tho more we have been surprised and
the more we moat admire tbe little
conning people of the Island empire.
Take them all around—In the habits
of their living, their eating and drink
ing, their dally exercises, their pa
triotism, their defiance of death for
the sake of their country, end yet
their kindly treatment of an enemy
whom they hare every reason to hate
—and we find In this phase of the
Eastern civilisation an example wor
thy of emulation In many of Its parts.
As Minister Wu always said, our own
civilization may yet find something In
China that will also lead It upon ( a
higher plane.
A recent act of the Japanese In
their treatment of the Russians will
stand out boldly as an example worthy
uf the best Christian teachings. We
all remember how the Russian sol
diers were treated at the tall of Fort
Arthur and what a cordial reception
the brave Russian officers received In
Japan. A correspondent said at the
time that Japan was treating her ob
stinate enemy with greater considera
tion than the Russians were treated
in their own country. Now comes the
report that the Japanese officials are
going a step further In tnelr conduct
toward the 60,000 Russian prisoners
which they have In their keeping.
They find that 80 per cent, of the
Russians are uneducated white men,
with little hope In the world when
they are released from prison. Ac
cordingly, the Japanese are going to
provide educational facilities for
these men, by allowing tho educated
prisoners to teach those who are not,
thus establishing a system of schools
among the Russian prisoners.
When Uncle Sam transported the
soldiers of poverty-stricken Spain
back to their native land after the
hostilities In Cubs, our conduct was
applauded throughout the world, and
we pointed to It aa a model by which
other nations should be guided in fu
ture. Our conduct might have been
partly Inspired by a consciousness
that we had not done exactly the right
thing toward Spain In starting the
war, or wo may have been very anx
ious to get all of the Spaniards out of
Cuba. Be that as it may, our oonduet
at that time does not show any higher
quality of magnanimity than hak been
shown-a* half -a -<teaca-t!l*arW”thff
plants. He vrijltum at the end of
tho rows In half; the time of a horse
and will leave ithe field In better
chape when he! leaves. Tbe mule
may not put on as many airs as the
horse does, but When It comes down
to painstaking ejffon, for doing thor
ough work, he his the horse "skinned
a wholo city block.” The noble rec
ord which the mule has made should
not be hidden i under the derision
which meets hlji at every turn, for
when compared frith any other living
creature in the) animal kingdom he
shows up second to none in the intelli*
gence, as well aa fidelity to those who
treat him as all good animals should
be treated. 1 i
An English coijrt has decided that
a man who earns his living by a pro*
fesaloq, trade or other occupation is
not a “gentleman!” According to that
definition, any ni^nber of “gentlemen”
can be found in America, If one will
take the troubleito hunt them up In

THE MUCH ABU8ED MULE.
This Is the season of the year when
the farmer’s thoughts begin to turn
toward the much abusod mule. Many
of them are now buying mules to use
In making the coming crop. Those
who have to buy have a notion that
the mulo is preferable for farming
purposes to tho horce or any other
animal, but very few of them stop
to consider how really valuable the
mule Is. It was recently stated that
mules voted la tho recent election In
Colorado, tho statement being made
In dorinton of tho mule as well as of
tho Colorado election. The fact is
that the mule is about as much enti
tled to cast a ballot ns any other ani
mal in the world. Ho is not only in
telligent, but he contributes as much
to the increasing wealth of the coun
try as any other animal.
For farm work, there Is no animal
In tho world that can approach him.
A draft horse is usually worn out in
from ten to twelve years, while the
mub can stand tho wear and tear of
•nuous life, as well as tho abuse
which Is heaped upon him, for eigh
teen or twenty years with all ease.
The old Joke about tho kicking quail-
of the mule is the purest fiction.
Not one man In a dozen can recall half
ns many Instances of Injury inflicted
by n mule as they can by horses.
There are u half a dozen runaway
scrapes by horses to every one that
can be mentioned by mules. When
a horse runs- away, he loses all in
telligence, if he ever had any, and
would as soon run down an embank
ment or Into a moving train as to
keep tho level road. The mulo Is dif
ferent. When he runs away
keeps in tho middle of the
and a little child might stand ii
the road without the slightest dangei
though a drove of mules should
como stampeded.
Any farmer will tell you that
mule will draw a plow through;
