They Discuss Amendm eHts 10 the Inter
state Commerce Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Oue hundred and
fifty delegates were present at the meeting
o. the National Board of Trade yesterday.
Twenty five new associations were ad-
mitted to membership. After the report
of the executive committee had been read.
Frederick Fraley was unanimously re-
elected president \ resolution considered
recited that owing to the immense amount
Of business crowded on the interstate COM
mcrce commission, requiring years in
some instances to reach decisions, it has
become necessary to relieve the commits
sioners of part of their labors.
Thinks the Law Is Useless
The resolution recommended an amend
ment to the interstate commerce law 50 as
to create five districts throughout the
United States. each OF which shall be I'M
der the direct charge of a board OF three
commissioners, to be appointed in the same
manner as the interstate commissioners.
The resolution was presented by the Mil
waukee Chamber OF Commerce, and was
supported by its delegates. Mir smith, of
Toledo, did not think the result Of aiopt
ing the resolution would be practical
to the interstate law, which. however. me
believed 10 be utterly useless Mr. STAN
nard, Of st. Louis, favored a thorough dis
cussion by the board on the question of
abUlishinE the commission. lie saw moth
ing in the operations Of the commission
but obstruction TO the business of the coun-
try, and he would favor the repeal Of the
law
Referred To a Committee.
Mr.. knight. OF " iscou~in. offered sub
stitute for the resolution, providing that
the United States be divided into districts
and board OF commissioners be created
10y law Tor each district to hear and deter.
mine all questions arising under The inter
state commerce Law in such districts, from
| which appeals may be taken to the inter-
state commission. After further discus
sion the resolution and substitute We're re-
isrred to a special committee with iustruc-
lions to repor- before the board adiourns

THE GRAND RAPIDS DAM.

V1ltAND 1GA1 D1ANs
Washington, DC, Aug. 6.-Among
bills killed by congressional adjourn
ment that are to be greatly regretted
was Senator Washburn's bill for
authorizing the Mississippi river to
he damned at Grand Rapids, Itasca
county, for water power purposes.
The bill was early in the session put
through the senate by Senators Wash
burn and Davis and could just as
easily been put through the house
had Congressman Halvorson pressed
it. 1t was favorably considered by
Mr.. Limbs committee and fully ap'
proved by the war department and
Mr.. Halvo1son had only to call it uE
to put it through. 1t is said that hi
was influenced not to do SO by reports
from Minnesota that was factionaI
contention regarding the franchise
created by the bill; that he had beer
asked not to put the bill through
and had representations made to hin
attacking those supporting tile bill
Senator Washburn was interested ii
the bill, as the dam created woult
have been an addition to his mnc}
beloved reservoir system of the uppe
Mississippi.

The Democratic platform says
'We denounce republican protection
as fraud" There is no way in
which that can be misconstrued OF
distorted. It is threat to the whole
existing economic condition of the
nation. Such being the case Grover
Cleveland knows that no man who
stands on it can hope to be elected
President of the United States. Sc
he set to "modify' it. The reason
is exactly the same that led the
Democratic House of Representatives
from passing the free silver bill, and
a free lumber bill, and free. iron
ore bill, namely trucking cowardice
about openly declaring policy tc
the people. 1t is accompanied by
exactly the same reservation as that
made by the House swat unit
after election" If the Democrats
are successful they propose to play
smash latter the election

The sooner the government makes
some arrangements to remove the In
dams from Mile Laos to White Earth
the better it will be for the Indians
as we'll as for the many white settlers
that the government has allowed to
enter land on the so-called reserva-
ton. There can be but one outcome
to the controversy. The authorities
have allowed the settlers to enter the
land and they will never remove them
from it. The Indians have a much
better home prepared for them on
White Earth, and if the authorities
give proper guarantees they can be
induced to remove to that place.

A IIumberman'S Rendezvous.

This term might be applied to Stevens Point,
located on the Wisconsin Central Lines, at the
gateway Of the vast forest region which ex-
tends North to Lake Superior, a distance of 200
miles without break on account OF the vast
lumber interests. The Wisconsin River to which
the lubermen have given the familiar and some
what afectiOnate title of ''Old Wiscons," not
alone acts as lumberman feeder to the city b.
furnishing through its numerous tributaries an
outlet for thousands OF acres of pine in the
upper country. but it furnishes a water power
that is second only to that Of Neenan and
Menasha. which cities are also located on the
Central" Millions Of feet Of lumber are cut
every year, giving employment to hundreds OF
men. In addition to the lumber trade, it has
numerous other manufactures; it is here where
he large car shops of the wisconsin Central
Lines are located located.
For tickets, maps, phamplets and aud full in

The late Democratic state conven-
ton devoted much attention to the
tax question in Minnesota, and con.
sidering that party's record in the
last legislature, they should give the
matter some thought. The tax levy
was increased by that economical!
legislature, and now to draw attention
from its faults the party makes a
specially Of bowling for reform in>tax
gathering. Minnesota Democrats are
like their brethren in the nation in
being most emphatic in demanding
reforms that they never attempt to
carry out. The Democratic congress
and the Democratic legislatures were
elected on pledges to economize, but
if either body accomplished anything
in that line it has not been recorded.
The Democratic party is too econom-
ical in fulfilling its promise, and too
extravaganza making promises.

AS his mind develops, the child is
led to see that the rules to which he
has given a somewhat blind obe-
dience are not imposed upon the
schools from without by the teacher,
but that they exist in the very ma
ture of the school. His expanding
mind discovers that the school is
part OF the ethical world in which he
lives; discovers that the institutions
of society, family, school, usiness,
state and church are his reason. his
universal, self-made, objective and
substantial, and that, in obeying in
|stitutiOns he is obeying his highest,
his permanent self Thus he becomes
in his conduct a person representing
reason. II this character could be
produced in each individual, prisons
would close and remain tenantless,
penalties would be unknown.
1.-THE school is worth all it costs ifit
simply trains and enlightens the pu-
pills will and makes him universal in
character and conduct; but the
school does more than this.
"By the study of geography the
pupil in the COMMON school gets a
conception of the world as the home
OF man. He sees the earth producing
the materials which man converts in
to articles OF use and beauty. esees
each bringing to the worlds market
his small contribution and receiving
In return as the gift of his fellows
the fruits of the earth and the pro.
ducts OF human skill. He looks
through his window upona spectacle
more marvellous than the miracle OF
the lOaves and fishes. He sees his
larger self in the operations described
in geography, and longs to become 8
part of this world, this social whale
from which he has cut himself off,
''He gets another glimpse of hi'
larger self in the study of history
Here lie sees himself in a process o
becoming. He sees that power in tn
world which makes forrighteousness
that which is eternal in the human
will, subduing all that is negativ
and realizing itself in institutions
He contemplates the deeds of grea
persons, listening to their Thought
J that breathe and words that burn,
uttered for him and all mankind. Hi
, nature is stirred to life and h
r Identifies his will with that universe
