In connection with the history of this shot. Dr. Ford says: "This cannon hall was tired by Anderson from Fort Sumter on the 121a of April, 1801. At the beginning of the tight Major Anderson gave his attention to the floating battery, which Wits moored in the cove at Sullivan's Island, near the western extremity, about it mile and a quarter from the fort. Three of his shots struck the battery and rebounded upon the sjind bar. failing to penetrate more than a few inches.

Had there been any genoral and suhstantial outcry availed tlie railroads for wI h spread injustice in tludr freight or passenger truth" some excuse might have been found for tiie passage of regulatory acts, hut there was little such agitation, and therefore the conclusion Is I forced upon t no observer that the responsibility for the passing ol such laws lies mainly with the comparatively few politicians, inspired by selfish motives, perhaps of a retaliatory nature. Vet ti is to the future that one must look for the worst effect of these laws. Commerce and industry are making greater demands upon he tailrei ;s for adequate factli.ie:, J out the companies are hard pressed | for money arid orders for new cars | and engines have fallen off tromendo s y as compared with last year, although there has not been any letup in I he rush of freight, and most of the roads are handling more business than ever.

The money to provide these thins* which the railroads need is not to be had except at proh bit vp rat?*H of interest, and borrowing has o be done by means of shor timo notes for meeting pressing requirements. The outcome of such conditions is plain enough. It might be easier iiad not labor and everything else which the railroads need advanced in cost, but these increases In operating expenses, coupled with decreased earning power 0 .. the new laws, have put the companies at their wits' end for the ham.ling 01 their finances. To sum it up the situation Is tills: The railroads need more funds to m >et tlfe needs of their patrons. Kates of interest demanded by capital are higher than ever for railroad enterprises; too high for the railroads to afford.

Many an ottke1 is at this moment in debt, and Maying interest on borrowed money, so that he may send his sou or liis daughter to a good school, or keep them in some Ity where their education wir. he continuous and uninterrupted. No matter of domestic oiiomy touches officers more deeply than than (JiIr of the children's ducatlon. It Is true that the public schools of a city, if the post be near a city, tre generous In taking boys and girls In, and some Jo so for a tuition foe; but It Is, nevertheless, a fact that an army officer cannot demand local sche >' ser"1ce as a right, because of his profession and his residence on military reservation.

Is generally so fully '-coupled with other engaging military lutics that ho can give little or no attention to the school development and system, while the man who la teacher has usually never acted la thi capacity before.
