A HIGH COMPLIMENT.

Australia should assume the aspects
of relationship to the United States. Its
people have very largely the same line
age and customs, and politically tnev
show that they are imbued with similar
conceptions of the rightful relations of
the citizen to his government. AS the
recent action of the Sidney convention
is understood, it made the constitution
of the United States its model, follow
ing 1t as closely as could be well done
without cutting loose from the mother
country. This fact is a useful one for
our Fourth of July orators. The prin-
ciples commemorated and embodied in
the American political fabric have found
lodgment on the other side of the
globe. The largest body of people
outside of England that speaks the
language of this country in its purity
has looked to the great republic for the
framework of its political structure.
Nohlgher compliment could well be
paid this country. The high common

OF fellowship of kindred minds that the
action of the millions of the most intel
ligent and progressive people in any
other land possesses. The United States
has never had higher compliment
than in this imitation of the new ma
ton on the other side that promises yet
to be only second to it in the essentials

Prof. HUXLEY, to whom alluSion has
already been made, comments on the
view thus advanced in his entertaining

nishes an effectual illustration by con-

Mormouism. The worshipers of the

Der less than half a hundred, while

not prove anything as to the credibility

A SCHOLAR POLITICS.

st. Paul will have a distinguished
guest during the latter part of this
week, in the person of Congressman
WILLIAM l.. WILSON, of West Virginia.
Mr.. WILSON is one of the few really
great men who have held seats in the
house of representatives during the past
few years. His great attachments as
scholar and orator have made him one
of the foremost leaders of the Demo-
cratic party i'll congress, and in the last
two campaigns his voice has been heard
i'll all parts of the country preaching the
doctrines of tariff reduction. He is
without doubt the ablest tariff refOrmer
in the house. and. as such during the
great contest over the MILLS bill, and
again over the MCKINLEY monstrosity,
he became famous ali over the country.
Under these circumstances it is not at
all surprising that the name of Mr..
WILSON is being pushed in many quar-
tiers as that of a candidate for the
speakership of the next congress. He
will reach st. Paul about the middle of
this week on his way to the Pacific
coast. but will spend several days here
before resuming his journey. In view
of the fact that there are many mem
berS OF the legislature now in the city.
as well as large number of citizens of
st. Paul, who are admirers of Mr.. Will
SON, would it not be good plan for an
invitation to be extended him to deliver
an address on the political and economic
issues of the day before he is allowed to
resume his westward journey?

scattered over many of the states. Their
conference has been held in Ohio: per-
haps Is still in session. A son of JOSEPH
SMITH is the highest authority among
them, and would seem to connect them
directly with the original inventor of the
creed. They are quiet, inoffen5ive peo-
pie. and not obnoxious in any commu-
nifty. 1t appears that at the conference
President SMITH makes the leading
feature crusade to convert the Utah
Mormous to the true faith of the Saints.
He says the masses of them never
wanted and have not practiced polyg-
amy. As the high mucks claim now
TO have abandoned it, the opportunity is
a good one to reclaim them and eXtir-
pate the phase of MormoniSm that has
made all the trouble.

USE OF LITTLE THINGS

1t is favorite theory with some
classes of philosophers that there are no
incidents. phases of life or small con-
yenienceS too trifiing to engage the at
tention of the sensible and Intelligent.
Without considering any philosophy in
volved, it may be suspected that the
average individual of almost any sex is
quite enough inclined to allow trifing
things to possess the mental depart
ment, and often influence his express
sionS. Be that as it may, one of the
local school referred to never allows a
hairpin on the sidewalk or floor to
escape. There is rarely day that one
or more is not found by him on the
walks. 1t is probable that a sentimental
feeling attaches to this special utensiI
in his mind. as it is a particular hobby
with him. He would sooner pass a
dime oh the walk than a hair
pin. But an expert insists that the DOS
sIbilities of this little bifurcated bit of
wire are beyond enumeration. In one

electric car was stalled by the loss of a

MUSIC IN ST. PAUL.

The coming appearance of Charles SAINT

interest in musical circles. Mr. Santley has
long occupied the proud position of the fore
most baritone of Great Britain, and his in
depreciation of elijah has for many years
been accepted as ideal, many critics assert
ing that when he retires Mendelssohns

REMEDY FOR PAUPERIsM

R. L. ELY, an economic authority of
some note. writes in the North American
Review to prove that pauperism is a
disease and is durable. This is an adj
mirable discovery. if it can be worked
out on the lines of the unfolding era.
DipSomania or alcoholism, is a disease,
and can be cured by the injection of a
sort of lymph and a little treatment. If
it has any pacilli they are preserved in
alcohol. 1t is not, however. insisted
that pauperlSm is a disease just like
those that have vagrant germs in the
air. Nor is it made quite plain what
the details of the curative treatment
are. It's effects are asserted to be very
considerable. In Leipsic it reduced
the number of paupers 1000 in one
year. At Elberfield the population near
ly doubled without an increase of pau
periSm. In England this authority as
serts that the percentage of paupers to
the population fell from So in 1868 to
8 i'll 1882. If there is really any recipe
in use over the water for the reduction
of this burden of society that will bear
transportation, it should be imported,

GovERNMENr CONTROL

In the Atlantic Monthly for this
month ARTHUR i. HADLEY discusses
the question of government control of
railroads in this country. Mr.. HADIEY
has the reputation of being something
of an expert in railway problems, With
out connections that would give him
bias on personal grounds or interests.
Still. there will be hesitancy in accept
ing his view that the present system is
the superior in the conditions of utility
and convenience. He insists that in the

economy CT construction, the prevalent
system is the best. The roads in Ger

OF the public. In the view of
the essayist. the government officials
lack individual interest in the work.
and are consequently less efficient.
This IS an objection regarded as inner
ent to state control, but will hardly be
accepted as more probable in the case
of railroads than in the postal and other
branches of the public service. 1t has
liob UcCl uilucISlOOu Ull3U III European

lltlcal machines would certainly be dan
gerOuS. Yet he is forced to admit that
the aggregation of the great railway
systems underline management of few
magnates is tending to create conditions
that will easily lead to the transfer of
that control to government minister.
Whether it is desirable to have the rail
road management made part of the
government machinery or not, or what
ever the political features to be depre-
Gated, there is no question that every
combination of the systems is suggest

natural outcome in that direction. The
problems for solution in this connection
are comparatively new. and can only be
worked out rightly by patient inquiry
and experience.

gets three main lines connecting three
great cities and representing 1900 miles
of road.
Then Mr.. Stickney decided TO get
staff that would make life a burden to
other railroads. John A. Hanley was
Mr.. Stickney's first live young man,
and i'll one year, as general manager, he
made reputation for the road through
out the West that is invaluable, and a
record for himself that put him at the
head of the traffic department of the
Atchison. Topeka IL Santa Fe system.
There was a sigh of relief from the
rivals of the Stickney system when they
learned that Hanley had left, and a
grOan arose from the same Threats when,
few days later, he was put in charge
of the AtchisOn.

Mr.. Stickney retired from the presi-
dency of the road to the chairmanship
of the board of directors and left the
active management to John NJ Egan.
who was born in Springfield, Mass,
March &c, 1913. His parents moved West
to Amboy, ILL.,, in 1852. When Egan was
sixteen years old he entered the machine
shop of the Illinois Central at Amboy
