CURRENT COMMENT.

About as silly and partisan an asser-
ton as has lately appeared in print is
the following from yesterdays Mime
apoliS Tribune, speaking of plan for
railroad employees to organize pO-
litically: There is a strong feeling
against the Democrats locally because
of their action in going to ST.
Louis by the Burlington road,
and there is tendency to
resent it at the polls. There are in Mill
ncapoliS about 200 members of these
organizations, and they can. control
about 5000 votes in the city," To say
that any feeling exists against the Dem
ocrats particularly is absurd, because
the Republican delegation to Chicago
also. went by the Burlington, and the
special train furnished by Mr.. Lang
don was also on the Burlington.
The inference from the Tribune
statement is that the Democrats
should have known better, while the
Republicans are irresponsible. AS to
the Burlington road, prominent labor
official said: 1--WE never cared any
thing about who used that road, except
as to what organized labor did. 1t
would be absurd for us to Interfere in
purely commercial matters"
-
1t has been a matter of general obser-
walton that since the motor accident of
Saturday night passengers have been
very careful how they get on and off the
trains. This care should always be eX-
ercised, and there would be no acct
dents. There is constant dam
ger, however, to the hordes of
small boys who make regu-
lar practice of jumping upon
moving trains. In the vicinity of Grant
street this is particularly obnoxious,
and it is a matter of wonder that some
of the precocious kids have not been
killed. Newsboys infeSt the trains in
the business district, and several of
them have had narrow escapes.
~
It is proverbial saying that when
man is going down, everybody is ready
to assist him with q kick. Manager
Gooding can testify that it is not
always true, for there has been a
wonderful uprising i'll his favor.
1t may be that the people want
a ball team and it may be
that .Gooding himself is popular,
but be the cause what it may, there has
been decided demonstration of senti-
ment in his favor. To help out the ball
team and put it on its feet has now be-
come matter of city pride, and that is
enough. Once awake the pride of Min
neapolis and nothing is too difficult to
be accomplished.

A Million on a Life.

The greatest achievement in the his
tory of life insurance has been made by
Mr.. John Wanamaker, who is now pay
ing premiums on $1,000,000 to twenty
/ nine different companies. The last
policy issued on his life was received by
him the other day, and so far as is known
there is no other man in the world whose
life is insured for such an enormous
amount. There are a number of men in
this city who have been trying for years
to achieve the point just gained by Mr..
Wanamaker, ~s. lthey have SO far failed,
although JohNF.: Stetson, the hat manu-
facturer, has succeeded in getting poll
cies on his life amounting to $3.50, 900.
He is desirous of putting the amount up
to a round million.
The risks on Mr.. Wanamaker's life are
divided equally into life and fifteen year
endowments, and he pays over $50, 900
annually in premiums to the different
companies in which his risks are placed.
In the matter of paying premiums he is
outdone by Mr.. Stetson, who pays $S5,
600 in the same length of time, but the
difference is accounted for by the fact
that besides paying the premiums on the
risks on his own life, he also pays those
on the lives of his business manager and
his son-in-law, both of whom he has in.
sured for 500, 900 each, besides holding
policies for large amounts on other peo-
pies lives. Should Mr.. Wanamaker al
low the annual dividends to go uncol-
lected until the risks on his life expire he
will be entitled to about 81 400, 900.
There are three companies which carry
premiums of 100000 each on his life.
But Mr.. Wanamaker is not the only man
in this city upon whose life big risks are
issued. George W. Childs is insured for
100000, and so is Wharton Barker.
Hamilton Disston is insured for about
$3.50, 200. j. G. Darlington is insured
for one-tenth of million, and his part
ner, William M. Runk, for twice that
amount.-Philadelphia Record.

Getting Rid of Rats.

was much troubled by rats. and their
depredations on his corn crib increased To
an alarming extent. He finally thought
of a method by which he could rid him.
self of them. He secured three gallon
jar and half filled it with water. On the
top of the water he placed thick layer
of cotton seed The seed, so he argued,
would attract the rats as pleasant place
to play, and of course the moment they
touched the seed down they would go.
The trap worked like a charm. The rats
came; they attempted the frolic act ON
the seed with the deceptive foundation.
and, to use Mr.. Kilgore's own words, ne
caught gallon and half of rats the
first night" running the water to the
top.-Chicago Herald.

Southwestern China's Railroads.

Great interest is taken in the east in
the railway between Siam and south
western China, which will be about a
thousand miles long. 1t has been sur
veyed, but more surveyors are going out
from England. 1t is expected that this
railway will postpone for long time tho
construction of a line between Tonquin
and China. The China Railway company
have, by the way, completed their line
as far as Tang-ku, and in April the trains
began to run from that point to Tongsan.
The remaining section of the line, be-
tween Tang-ku and Tien-Tsin, will be
pushed on with unremitting energy, and
in n few months time the 'fying
wheels" will be making their revolutions
to the delight and amazement of the peo-
pie of Tien-Tsin. Home Journal.

How to Get a Silver Cradle.

Talking of customs reminds me Of a
curious old practice which still prevails
in some of the provincial towns of Eng
land, of presenting the wife of the mayor
with silver cradle should she give birth
to child during her husbands term of
Office. The old custom is still kept up
in the town of Worcester, England,
where the mayors wife, having had a
child born unto her, was a few weeks
ego presented by the corporation With
the traditional silver cradle. 1t was in the
form Of dish for fruit or flowers. On
each side were cut glass dishes. between
which the cradle. which was of wicker
work pattern, swung from the hands
of pair of silver cupids.
