HOW 1T MAY BE DONE.

The railroad is the creation Of the
state; the creator can control the Great
ure. 1t is public servant; the master
can direct the servant. 1t is created for
limited purposes: it Can be made to
carry out those purposes. 1t is pri-
marily a common carrier; it can be
made to adopt any commonly accepted
mode of handling and carrying the goods
committed to it. If custom or demon
stration shows that some method of re-
ceiving or handling or carrying will re-
suit in greater economy, the state,
which creates the railroad, can oblige its
servant to adopt and use the appliance.
Custom and fact demonstrate that in the
handling of grain the elevator is an
economical and necessary appliance.
1t is therefore the duty Of railroads re-
ceiving and handling grain to construct
and operate elevators at grain stations
as a legitimate part of their equipment.
If they refuse, the state can oblige them
to. This is elementary. No lawyer
will contest it. The railroads in early
days built, and for time operated ele
vators. They found it to their advan-
tage to delegate that function to per-
sons or corporations. They can be
made to resume it,
This legislature can, and should, pass
an act obliging every road in the state
to provide and operate an elevator of
suitable capacity, with all needed app}i-
ances, at each station where grain is
marketed, adapted with bins to hold the
different kinds of grain and their vari-
Gus qualities. 1t should oblige them to
receive, receipt for, elevate, store and
ship grain for any person, with or with
out a reasonable charge for the work.
They should be obliged, on the order of
the owner, to ship and deliver at the
place designated by him the quantity,
and of the quality, directed by him.
Their officers and employees should
be prohibited from buying or selling
grain directly or indirectly, under
heavy penalties, at any point in the
state. In the development of the rail-
roads they have taken on the function
of warehouSing, at common law dis
tinct office from that Of the common
carrier. They now warehouse the mer
chandise sent or received. This has
grown to be a necessary function of the
roads. The state can oblige them to eX-
tend it to the article of grain, and ware
house grain at their terminals or points
Of transhipment. The railroads can
thus be made to do all that the various
bills before the legislature now contem-
| plate that either the state shall do or
the individuals be allowed to do. Why
should the railroads not be obliged to

THE KEYSTONE OF THE COM
BINE

What are the factors Of the combina-
ton which, as now admitted by two
governors and the leading Republican
papers, exists in this state and monop-
olizes the grain markets practically?
First, the Minneapolis millers and
those others whom they have compelled
to affiliate with them in order to get the
grain to run their mills. Next, the rail-
roads, which, generally. have no fur
Their interest than the preservation OF
their share of the carrying traffic, which
they accomplish by preventing COM
petition which would draw grain from
one road to another. Officers of some
of the roads are said to .be holders OF
elevator stock. Last, the elevator COM
panieS, which have a practical monop-
oily of the buying of grain, and which
are i'll combination which fixes prices
to be paid, prevents competition among
themselves aud stiles or subordinates
it, with the aid of their other partners,
il it come from outside sources.
And the greatest of these is the ele-
vators. They buy 81 per cent of ali the
grain OF the Northwest. They are per-
fectly SyStematiZed and in accord. Their
owners are also largely the miilers.
They play into each others hands.
They are the keystone of the combine.
Ninety-nine per cent of the complaints
of the farmers of the state are directed
against the practices OF the elevators
unfair d0cGage, undergrading OF grain,
stealing in weighing. Farmers able to
ship complain Of loss Of grain by the
roads, but they are but six per cent of
the farmers. The rest have no COM
plant against the roads. because they
part with their grain and all interest in
it when they sell to the elevators.
What is the source of this abuse Of
the farmers by the elevators? 1t is in
their monopoly. This is the very root
of the evil. When you nave found the
root, what is the common-sense remedy?
Put the axe to the root. Trimming off
branches will not cure. The monopoly
should be broken. How can it be done?
Put at each station an elevator that will
be open to the public, receiving and
shipping without favor the grain Of any
one who comes. Then you will have
knocked out the keystone of the arch.
How will such competitive elevators
be put there? By the state? By .indi-
vidual farmers or companies Of the m?
Not by the state, for-.wer should go on
further in state socialism than we have
gone; we should take the back track.
Not by individuals, because it entails
needless expense on them. By the only
persons whose duty it now is, and al
ways has been, to put and keep and
onerate them thera-the railroads.

no., it stands there a sentinel over the
interests of the producer, standing
menace to monopoly or combination.
1.-The cost to the railroads OF con-
strueting all these elevators would
bankrupt them" No, it will not. Would
it have done SO had they built them at
the beginning of their roads? If they
had not given over this function they
would have had to build them when
they were less able than now. But they
will probably not build an elevator.
Their roads are now lined with two or
more systems The roads are inter-
ested in them now, it is said; own stock
in them. They will conclude some ar
rangement with some one or all of these
elevator syndicates to have the control
Of one at each station. The railroads
can safely be left to get elevators at lit
tie expense to themselves when the
state Of Minnesota says they shall pro-
vide them.
Gentlemen of the legislature, the
GLOBE begs to remind you that in
legislation, as in mechanics, the simplest
device is always the best. 1t reminds
you of the fact that the first tendency of
construction in legislation, as in me-
chanics, is towards complexity; the lat
est and best tendency in each is back
towards simplicity. You have been
pursuing complex methods long enough.
The result is uniformly disappointing.
1t is now proposed to you that you re-
move the evils resulting from complex
ity of method by additional compleXity.
The GLOBE asks you to consider wheth-
er the true direction is not i'll that lndi-
Gated in the foregoing. rather than in
that which you are urged to take.

Each seyen-colored like the rainbow's arc.
Regions where never fancy's foot had trod
Till then; yet all the straIgeneSs seemed not

Whereon | wondered, reasoning in my
dream;
At last came to this, our cloud hung earth,
And somewhere by the sea shore was
grave,
womans grave new-made and heaped
with flowers:
And near it stood an ancient holy man
That fain would comfort me, who sorroWed

For this unknown woman AT my feet.
But /. because this sacred Office held
My reverence listened; and twas thus he
spoke:
when next thou contest thou shalt find her
still
In all the rare perfection that she was.
Thou shalt nave gentle greeting OF III love
Her eyelids will have turned TO violet
Her bosom 10 white lies, and her brea
To roses. What is lovely never dies,
But passes into other loneliness,
Star dust or sea foam, towes or winged air.
If this befalis our poor, unworthy flesh.
Think thee what destiny awaits The sodll
What glorious yesture it shall wear at iasti"

Vanished, and family from neighboring

Fell five slow, solemn strokes upon my ear.
Then / awoke with keen pain at heart,
A sense of swift unutierable loss,
And through the darkness reached my hand
10 touch
Her cheek, soft-pillowed on one restful
palm
To be guile sure!

that ''a mugwump is man who cannot

THERE MAY BE 4 FIGHT
When Martin Appears to Claim
His Seat in the Senate.

Ills oCdS JCudGG.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-There is a
diversity of opinion, not only among
the senators, but among the members of
the committee OH privileges and cleo
tons, as to the exact standing of
Mr.. Martin, of Kansas, who is credited
with being senator-elect from that state
TO fill the vacancy caused by the death
of MIR. Plumb. aud now temporarily
filled by Mr.. Perkins, by appointment
of the governor. The appearance OF
Mr.. Martin at the senate chamber bear
ing the certificate of the governor may
be looked for at any day, and may
precipitate a prolonged and bitter
election contest similar to those Of some
years ago. The fact that every seat jim
the senate will be contested by the
Democrats in favor of their intention to,
if possible, organize the next senate,
gives the ease of Mr.. Martin immediate
importance. 1t has escaped the mind
of some of the members of
the committee that the Kansas election
was to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Mr.. Plumb, whose term Of Office
did not expire until the 4th of March,
1895, and that MI. Perkins, the pres
ent incumbent, was only serving
until the legislature should meet
in regular session and choose his sue
cessor. As soon as that successor has
been regularly and legally elected, Mr.
Perkins ceases to be United States
senator. Under the present conditions
that exist in Kansas the probable action
of the senate becomes all Interesting
matter for conjecture.
In the meantime, Mr.. Perkins will
hold to the seat to which he was ap-
pointed until his successor is elected
and qualified. Mr.. Perkins Is
not, from all accounts, dis
posed TO forego his seat in the
senate without struggle. and will
not cease his resistance to Judgment
of custer until he and the other Re-
publican members OF the senate are
satisfied that the credentials of the
senator from Kansas are good, and that
he was chosen by body duly organized
So it may happen that in the event of
this sort'of contest, Mr.. Perkins may
remain in the senate until the close of
the present congress. 1t is just possible,
too, that MIR. Martin may refrain from
presenting himself until after the Or
gailization of the next senate.
POpulists are Wary.
The Republicans have just discov-
cred that there is no way of testing the
legality of the organization of the
POpullst house excepting by an attack
upon the validity of the bills
which it may pass. The governor
will withhold his signature from all
bills excepting appropriation bills until
the last part of the session. The APP
preparation bills can be attacked only
by action of the state treasury, and
such action can be brought only by the
attorney general. and he, being Popu-
list, will decline to bring it.
The Populsts had ratification meet
ing tonight for Serator-elect Martin.
Mrs Lease said she had judged the
election OF Mr.. Martin too harshly. She
had since then been assured that he was
in line with many of the P0pulist prn-
ciples, and that he would in time be an
ornament to the party which had given
him Il seat in the senate.

HOW 1T WILL WORK.

We know how the present system
works. There is no competition. The
roads prevent it between their lines.
The elevators at station prevent it
by making list price. and by direct
ing their agents to keep off the
streets and wait in their elevators for
farmers to come to them. Suppose that
there is at these stations one elevator to
which any buyer can send his grain or
any farmer take his, which is obliged
to receive it, elevate and bin it and
ship it wherever ordered. Will there
not be there then free and open
market? The backbone of the comb.
nation would be broken. Any man
could go to buying grain. Every station
would have its buyers on the streets.
The old way would be restored, and the
grain would be bought again on the
wagon or sled, by sampling. The hate
full, mischievouS word ''grade" would
fall into merited disuse. The grain
would be sold on its merits, and not on
arbitrary grades. The farmer would be
again the important person, to be IA
vored and conciliated by the buyers, in
stead of the mere teamster of the eleva
tors that he now is.
No combination could ruin the trade
of town by depressing prices. for the
trGdesmen of the town could pat buyers
on the streets and stop it. If farmer
felt he was not getting what his grain
was worth he could ship if, elevatng
and storing it until he had carload in.
In practice it is probable that the pub
lie" elevators would transact little bust
ness. The present elevators would not
go out of business. but they would be
monopolies no longer; they would be
forced to compete. Ii they did, the rail-
road elevator would do little Of the
trade. Ii they did not compete. the rail-
road elevator would stand there ready
to break the combine. Competing or

craze lead. In fact, the world is getting
to be sport. Prize fighting will prob
ably go out of fashion by and by, and
ight-errantry will be revived. Then
law will take back seat, and every
man must look out for himself or live
in disgrace.
