It need not bo doubted that Mars Is
nhabltcd, and that by some mll
lona of intelligent beings; but tho
ttrnctlon of gravitation Upon tho llt
lo globe, about ono-hnlf tho bulk of
ho earth, is so slight compared with
hat which obtains with us that all
Ivlng nnd moving creatures would
ccossarlly be so different to earth
lfc as to tio Inconceivable to us. It
;i of scientific demonstration that
i lite unquestionably of all tho satel

Uranus and Neptune, receive little

cr. Por this reason, and with recog
nition of tho possibility of an ad
vcrso Judicial result, "Tho Dispatch
constantly urged that1 the full duty
ot regulation would ;rio be discharged
unless the Pennsylvania Legislature
did what was dono In -Now York, I
c, create a commission with power
to investlcato tbo . " conditions sur
rounding each ratO(tconiplnlncd of,
and to direct changes In such as wcro
found to bo unreasonable or to
involve Improper "discrimination.
In default ot this having been dono
it Is not flattering to our Stato leg
islation to contemplate tho state in
which matters aro "left on tho as
sumption that tho "Philadelphia de
cision is sustained.' The one meas
ure which the politicians ot both
parties specifically -promised in tho
Stato campaign Is' left In the Invalid
i lass and becomes a mero delusion,
lint tho general promise of effective,
regulation has not even that pre
teiiBo of performance. Tho nets to
enforce tho constitutional provisions
wcro emasculated by trivial penal
ties, and n commission was created
without power to enforce tho correc
tion of a single unjust rate.
It Is plain that. if. the Republican
party of Pennsylvania acquiesces In
this result of Its roform legislation It
will simply go on. record as adding

Judge Pritchard to tako testimony
In tho Southern Itnlway rnto caso,
Mr. Evans of the Loulsvlllo & Nash
ville road was called as ail export. Ho
testified that tho railroad company
Is losing money hauling passengers
at tho rato llxcd by tho North Caro-
llna law. Ho averred that it costa
25 per cent more per mllo to oiiernto
ocal trains than through trains. On
cross-cxnniinatlon ho admitted ho
was merely giving his opinion, based
pon his personal experience nnd ob-
ervntlon, and that roads with which
ho had boon connected never kopt
any system of books that would show
ho rclatlvo difference In cost be
tween local and through business.
It is a bit difficult to understand
why Mr. Kvnns wns called as nn
expert witness, and It Is ustouudlng
to bo Informed by nn "expert" wit
ness that railroads do not keep
train operation. As n matter of
fact, wo know that sonio railroads
do keep such accounts and nearly
analytical records of tho costs of
nil manufacturing concerns have
laborato systems for. keeping "shop
costs." Wb may add tho public will
never concede tho contention of rail
roads concerning the cost of any par
ticular traffic until they demonstrate
it by honest, itemized statements.
AVo do not recall over having seen
any reports concerning tho cost of
operating local or through trains on
tho Southern Railway. But wo do
recall soveral ablo articles comparing
such traffic on, greater railroad sys
tems. Theso papers aro Written by
competent engineers, after painstak
ing research, and tho consensus of
opinion represented therein' Is that
cost of traffic bears direct relation
to tho speed at which trains aro op
erated, and tho value of equipment
used in operation. Thus, a train
traveling CO miles 'an hour costs
much moro per mllo than ono trav
eling :;o miles nn hour. In these
comparisons careful account has
been taken of tho cost of stopping
nnd starting, which, ot course, Is
greater in tho caso of local trains.
Moreover, mnlntonanco of wny en
hances In cost of proportion to tho
speed of tho fastest trains. Highest
speed and costliest equipment are
employed In long-dlBtnnco traffic,
that Is, Inter-Stato business. Laying
aside tho question or apportionment
of nmlntennnco of wny cost, it will
110 difficult for nny expert to pro-
sent actual figures to show the local
pnsbongcr trains cost moro per mllo
for operation thnn through trains.

MOROCCO M1A1Y CHANGE PAST.
In sonio respects Morocco has
