Trouble between railroad companies

of the day Some weeks ago the Penn.
sylvania company promulgated plan for
insuriug the lives OF It's workmen,
scheme II had imported from England, as
II does all OF It's many new ideas. The
details Of the scheme were numerous, but
the central, vital point was the leaving by
the men Of q certain portion of their earn
ings each month In the hands OF the com.
pany. The amount left was 20 be In pro.
portion to the amount Of wages received.
All employees OF whatever grade were com
PEELED TO Join In the scheme. The EN-.
ployes at once began TO kick. They could
see, as every one else could also, That
the sums OF money left In the company's
possession amounted IN each case TO a
formidable whip that could be used at
any time by the company over their heads
II they dared TO ask for better wages or
TO have grievance redressed, Meetings
Of the employees were held and in re-
Spouse the company showed willing
ness TO meet them halfway, At the
present time IL looks as If the whole
scheme had been knocked In the head,
and the company forced TO back down.
Final action has not, however, been
taken. ADMIRAL,

At the club yesterday a friend was
telling me about Senator James i. VIII
son OF Iowa, the author OF the recent
resolution doubling the postal rates on
fourth-class mall matter. Wilson II Of
Scotch descent with penchant Tor
politics with the law as means Of sup.
bort. He was elected 70 congress when
only thlrty-four years OF age, serving in
that body for eight years, during the war
and the reconstruction period. At the
close Of the hOrtieth congress when he
retired be had reached the important
position OF chairman of the judiciary
committee. He was talked Of as vice
presidential candidate with Grant
10 1865, when Schuyler ColiaX
was chosen. After leaving congress
he went Into the law practice and
amassed considerable property, chiefly
from heavy railroad fees. he was mo-
nopoly lawyer, and made the best Plea
against state control OF corporations ever
made IN the West. The document Is
still circulated in pamphlet form by
Western railroad companies, despite the
fact that Wilson Eome years ago fetfacted
the whole sentiment therein expressed
and made a weighiy and learned argu.
ment on the other side. Wilson's reason
for this latter course was not one OF pfin-
clple. but because he wished 20 get back
into politics.

White Elephants.

Oriental poets and historians have
compared the fairness Of the white ele-
plant To the brilliant purity Of the snow;
but this is license and an exaggeration.
Some experts in natural history accept
the white elephant as merely an albino,
the color Of which Subscribed as d pink
white, to be aptly compared to the nose
Of white horse, while others are in
clined to regard the animal alternately
as leper Sir Emerson Tennent Incl
dentally defines the white elephant as
one which exhibits thoe fiesh-colorcd
blotches which occasionally mottle the
skin Of this huge pachyderm chiefly
about the head AMI extremeties. The
front Of the trunk, the tips of the ears,
the forehead, and occasionally the legs,
are thus diversified with stains Of a
yellowish tint, inclining to pink. These
says Sir Emerson, ssare not natural, nor
are they hereditary, for they are seldom
exhibited BY the younger individuals in
3 herd, but appear to be the result Of
eruptiye affection, the irritation Of which
!, has induced the animal il it, uneasiness
! to rub itself against the rough bark Of
the trees. and thus abradc the cuticle.
This is confirmed by the fact that the
scar Of the ankle wounl, occasioned BY
rope on the legs If those which have
been captured By noosing, presents pre-
cisely the same tint when thoroughly
healed. Even in.en example Of the ut
most perfection fits quality Sir Elmer
son Tcnnent "apprehends that the tint Of
white elephant is little else than q flesh
color, rendered somewhat more censpic-
nous BY the blanching Of the skin and
the lightncss Of the colorless hairs with
which it i sparscly covered. London

Oxtail soup has history of its own.
During the reign of terror in Paris III
1898, many Of the nobility were reduced
to starvation and beggary. The abatoirs
sent their hides fresh to the tanneries
without removing the tails, and in clean
ing them the tails were thrown away.
One Of these noble beggars asked for d
tail and It was willingly given to him;
he took it to his lodgings and made
what is now famous) the first dish Of OK
tail soup; he told Others Of his good luck
and they annoyed the tanners SO much
that price was put upon them.

What an amount Of discomfort wet
boots entail, to be sure; and how well we

sive within, they are without stiff and
aunyielding as q horn. Once on, they are
sort Of modern stocks destructive Of all

The Sank Centre Herald seems to
think railroad war for this section
one of the probabilities for the near
future. 1t says: Look out for railroad
war within the next six months. The
Manitoba and Northern Pacific
systems have held a monopoly of
Northern Minnesota from the very
beginning of railroad building, and
for a season fought bitterly for the
territory, each attempting to get an
advantage. Finding this policy too
expensive they pooled their interests,
divided up the territory as though
they owned the soil in fee simple, and
settled down to enjoy the profits OF
their extortions. But the old partner
ship ties are weakening, and while
they smile as they pass by, both are
putting keen edge on their toma-
hawks and scalping knives, and now
have their resources modified for an
active campaign as soon as sufficient
provocation presents. The invasion
of this territory by other roads is
calculated to precipitate the warfare.
The Duluth Huron and Denver and
the Minneapolis and Pacific are un-.
welcomed intruders upon the Mani
TOBIAS baIliwick, and the Northern
Pacific seems not at all averse to the
intrusion. To suppose the Manitoba
will tamely submit is to underrate
the bef1Tgerancy Of its managers. A
fight is coming.

Sleep, if taken in the right moment
it is said, will prevent an attack OF
the nervous headache. Ifthe subjects
of such headache will watch the
symptoms of its coming they Will
notice that it begins with II feeling of
WEAKNESS or heaviness. That is the
time sleep of an hour or even two,
as nature guides, will effectually pre-
vent the headache. II not taken just
then it will be too late, for after the
attack is fairly under way it is i'm
possible to get to sleep until far into
the night, perhaps. The giving of
anodynes and the forming of the dis
astrous opium habit has often arisen
out of such circumstances, and ignor-
ance of the preventive value of sleep.
1t is so common in these days for
doctors to forbid having their patients
walked up to take medicine If they
are asleep when the hour comes
round, that the people have learned
the lesson pretty well, and they
generally know that sleep is a won
derful preventive of disease-better
than tonnes, regulators and stimu-
lants.-American Farmer.

Apropos of the late riotus proceed
ings in Chicago the Mail of that city
says: IA few years ago some of the
largest employers i'll the east impor-
ted shlploads of foreigners, principal
~ Poles and Bohemians, for the pur-
pose of combating native and
naturalized citizens. The railroad
companies invited and encouraged
the immigration OF these people.
Glass-blowing establishments in
Pennsylvania sent over to Belgium
for cheap labor. Ironand coal mine
operators sent their agents abroad to
obtain miners in Bohemia and Polish
Germany. Thousands of them came
over. they remained a short time
with their original employers and
then scattered throughout the country
They were followed by thousands of
others. They are here now in large
numbers.
These are the anarchists we have
to deal with to-day. They did not come
unlimited, they were brought here.
Ancient Rome felt the fatal results OF
hiring barbarians to do her fighting,
so do the employers of the United
States realize the mistake they made
in bringing over here q semi-Darbaric
horde to do their fighting. The lesson
is plain one. They who sowed the
wind are reaping the whirlwind
Every trades union protested loudly
against the importation, and warned
the employers of the risks they were
running, but organized labor was tc
be put down at all hazards, and the
employers were blind to reason anC
deaf to arguments.
So, when you hear any one talking
about the recent riot in this city ant
attributing it to unrestricted immigra
ton, just remember that the very
men who are injuring property nov
were brought over here originally fol
the purpose of njuring labor.
Morris tribune., 1886-05-19

except that which comes from the
power to levy unjust and unreason-
able rates. 1t is not property and is
entitled to no dividends.
In deciding what rates are reason
able, only the current expenses and a
reasonable rate of interest on the
actual capital invested can be right
fully demanded. Large subsidies oil
lands, bonds and other gratuities
have been donated TO many of the
corporations in this state. 1t is not
reasonable to require the people tc
pay dividends upon these subsidies
That part of the capital which has
been furnished by private individuals
and that alone, is entitled to a reason
able amount of interest"
