What do You think of the idea of hell,
the future abode Of the wicked, being
situated in tin nucleus of some gigantic
comet: This opinion, odd as it may seem
to those who have given comets and the
future state Of the dead but little atten-
ton, has been entertained by many really
eminent SCIENTISTS and philosophers,
among them the learned Dr. Winston,
the friend and sometime adviser of the
great Sir Isaac Newton.
In answer to the inquiries Of friend
who wrote to ask the doctor for some
tangible proof on the subject, the follow
ing unique theories were advanced: "Ac-

Litcrnr. Chancc, in New York.

The actual chances for literary success
in New York are in no respect different
from those which any greater city pre-
Scnts over those of IL smaller community.
If a literary man or woman can go to
New York with Il certainty offered in the
way of Il fairly paying position, then
say. 10y all means 90, and if he has any
talent in him it will come out and win
quick success But if he has only ordi-
nary gifts then let him stay where he is,
even with certainty offered him. New
York holds out nothing to such a man
except u poor livelihood. Or, if a writer
has established II fair reputation, il
known by EDITORS and publishers through
letters, and he feels that there is some
thing in him which only the activity of
a great city will bring out, then let him
20 to busy Gotham.
But let him be careful that he does not
confuse ambition with talent. New
York is full of ambitious writers, and
they will always remain ambitious, al
ways reaching out to eat the literary oats
which hang suspended just a little out
of their reach. Ambition is Il splendid
quality, but the talent must be there t.
back it up And the latter is what is
lacking in SO many of the ambitious lit
erary spirits in New York today. 1t is
all ambition.-E. w. Box in Ladies

RAID ON SUGAR.
Considerable Speculation Ins
duIged in Wall Street as to
the Cause.
HaYemeyer Claims That the Conn
pany Is in First-Class
Condition.

NEW YORK, March 14.-ConSiderablb
speculation was INDUCED i'll in Wall
street today as to the cause, if any,
for the continued raid of the bears
on Sugar stocks. The only reason as
signed for the raid was the story that
some preferred stockholders were going
to apply for an injunction to prevent the
payment of the extra ten per cent dlyl-
dend on the common stock. II. ..
Eavemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining company, declared to-
dav that there was no truth, So far as he
knew, in the injunction story and he
knew no reason for the raid on the
stock. Mr.. Havemeyer continued:
According TO the statement or the
officers of the company in announcing
the dividend, anu those statements can
be verified by any one who desires TO do
so, the company, after paying the diva
dendS on April l. will have money
enough in its treasury from its
surplus earnings prior to Jan
uary 1 TO pay the entire
dividend of per cent in the preferred
stock for 1898 and Z per cent on the
common stock. The company Is doing
a fairly good business. and all the earn
ings for the year will belong to the hold
ers of the common stock. You may state
this on my authority as president of the
company. in the interest of the stock
holders who may desire TO know partlc-
ularly about the affairs of the COM

EARN PRODUCTS

1t is a favOrite assertion of the free
coinage advocates that the appreciation
of gold and the decentralization of silver
have resulted in the low price, among
other things, of wheat They point to
the average export price Of s1.43 in 1874,
Immediately following decentralization,
aud to the steady decline since to Sl.09
in '9l. and compare it with the decline
in the prices of silver bullion, and as
sumo that the latter has been the cause,
the former the effect of that cause.
1t is always rash to g6neraliZe too
hastily and from insufficient data, but
the demagOgue, anxious merely to SOW
discomfort, out of which he hopes to
harvest political advantages, is not
searching for truth, and cares only that
his SyllOgisms are accepted as correct
by those whom he would influence.
Many factors, some of magnitude,
have entered into the makeup of the
forces which have steadily depressed
the prices of the cereals and other prod
ucts of the farms. Among these may
be mentioned the reduced cost of pro-
ductiOn resulting from the universal
use of farm machinery. The farmer
has been no more able to retain the
benefit of this reduction than has any
other manufacturer similarly benefited.
Mightier forces than human laws or
human greed have controlled. Another
factor has Deen the reduced cost of
transportation, in which the consumers
have been the larger gamers. The
average all-rail rate for wheat from
Chicago TO New York has fallen from
1876 cents a hundred pounds, i'll 1868, to
Is cents in 1891.
But more potent factor than all has
been the attitude of commercial hostil-
ity which this nation has assumed to
those nations of the earth who, engaged
in manufacturing more than in agri-
culture, have been our best customers
of our farm produce. 1t is fact that all
trade statistics abundantly prove, that
while individuals in International trade
traffic between nations is one of barter;
that is, the products of a nation eX-
ported pay for its imports. The insig-
niicance of the transfers of gold and
silver confirm this. Ali distractions
laid in the way of a perfect free
dom of exchange diminish the
amount Of exchanges, whether it
be tariff for revenue only or pro-
tective tariff. We must buy with what
we sell, and out of what we sell must
first be taken enough to pay the cost of
getting our purchases home. The less
we buy the more we compel the seeking
and making of new markets.

NoN-REsIDENT EMPLoYEs.


The board of aldermen held special
meeting last evening TO pass the teach
ers' pay roll. When the vote WIS called
Aid FRANKLIN said that half-dozen
of the teachers live in Minneapolis. and
he thought the rule requiring that the
employees of the city should be actual
residents CT ST. Paul applied to the
schools. He voted for the pay roll, lnti-
mating that he would not do so again
unless residents OF ST. Paul were EN-
ployed in the place Of the Minneapolis
people. The alderman is clearly in
error as to the power of the common
council in the matter. The board of
school inspectors has the absolute power
to employ the teachers. and there is no
charter provision or rule requiring that
the teachers shall be residents OF st.
Paul. The teachers must be paid their
salaries, and If they are kept out Of
them by the failure of the common
council TO pass the pay roll, they can re-
cover their wages by suit against the
city.
While it is highly desirable that the
teachers, so far as practicable, snail be
chosen from among residents OF st.
Paul, the matter of half.doZen teach
ers coming from Minneapolis is too
small to be worthy the action threat
ened by the alderman. If there are
graduates of the high school who desire
positions as teachers, and they are as
well qualified in every way as the ones
hired from Minneapolis, the board OF
inspectors should give them the prefer
ence. But whatever teachers are en-
ployed by the board must be paid; this
is in accordance with the views of City
Attorney LAwLER. The inspectors are
all tax payers, and deeply interested
in the welfare of the city, and il is fair
to presume that if they have employed
any residents of Minneapolis it was for
good reasons. Education is not the only
qualification for an efficient teacher;
the instructor must have i'll addition to
this tact and judgment. 1t is not an
easy matter to find an army OF teachers
all of whom can give satisfaction, and
if the board has kept inside the city,
with the exception of a half-dozen, it
has done pretty well.
Without doubt many of the teachers
were employed while they were resi-
dents Of other cities, but those living in
remote cities, of course, moved here. A
few living in Minneapolis may have
permanent homes there which they can-
not well give up.

, DISTINGUISHED CONVERT.

JOSEPH NIMMO Jr., VINO was chief of
the treasury bureau of statistics from
1878 to 1885, in the course of a receHl
article on the unification of the Ameri-
can railroad system, says, speaking of
the tendency toward governmental
ownership of railroads as paternalistic
movement: "Our political institutions
are based upon faith in indiyidualism as
opposed to governmental imperialism,
and upon an abiding faith in the benef-
icent results of the conservatism which
inheres in the untrammeled interactlon
of commercial and industrial forces.
Those political principles had their
origin in the deep -seated conviction OF
our race, that one honest and determined
effort at self-control is worth hundred
efforts aC governmental control. The
civil polity which voices this sentiment
is recognized in this country as Jeffer-
sonidnism pure and simple. am free to
confess that a careful study of the
commercial development of my country
for more than thirty years has brought
me more and more to recognize the wis
dom of the line of policy which that
faith inspires and to make it cardinal
doctrine of my political convictions. 1t
is a doctrine which discardS the idea of
directing men how TO go Alright in the
management of commercial and indus
trial affairs, and claims that the exer-
else of governmental powers i'll sue
matters shall be confined as closely as
possible to the prevention and punish
ment of wrongs"
Mr.. NININIo, as statistician, furnished
for years the advocates of paternallSm
with the figures which went to show
the benaficance of that form oil what he
calls governmental imperialism"
called protection. 1t is one more of the
many signs of the recovery of and re-
turn to sounder principles of govern
ment that Mr.. NISILo becomes, as a re-
suit of his studies of the commercial
development of the country, an advO-
cate of individualism, which is but
another name for democracy.

THE CAPITOL BILL.

The capitol bill comes up on special
order in the house this afternoon. 1t
provides for the building of capitol on
the present site to cost 100000 and
the plan, in a nutshell. is this: There
is to be appropriated out of the general
fund 1000 for the commissioners to
cover this and next year; then tax OF
two-tenths of mill is to be levied for a
period of ten years, beginning with
1895.
T he only argument against the bill
upon which the opponents will place
any reliance Is that the state cannot af-
ford the movement at this time.
1t is a state poverty cry which was
started by certain parties for a sinister
purpose. There is probably no cry
which can be used to such advantage
among certain classes in state as this,
and those who started it have been
working it for all it is worth.
The state is not pOverty-strlcken by a
long way. 1t is in as good circumstances
and the people as prosperous on the
average as ever in. our history. But
suppose we were having hard times;
the method by which the work is 10 be
done cannot be burdenSOme to the poor
est taxpayer. The tax is not to begin
until 1895. and who can say that then we
will not be enjoying general boom
throughout the state? On the same prin-
ciple, suppose we were to start the mat
ter during a boom year: who could say
that the next year would not bring us
hard times?
Again, suppose we were to wait for a
boom year, is it not clear to every
thoughtful person that S2,000,000 cap
itol would fail to meet the ideas of the
projectors and that they would more
than likely set on foot the building of
one to cost double that amount?
The present capitol is a disgrace to
the state.
1t is fire trap. and everything in it
is in constant danger of destruction.
1t is not half large enough to meet the
requirements.
1t is so shabbily constructed that it
has cost considerable money to prop
and keep it from falling down.
These facts are ali well known to
everybody.
Now is the time to begin. The plan is
the easiest which can be devised. and
no one will say that s., 900, 900 is an ex-
travagant amount for capitol.

SALINA, Kan, March 14.-Only
meager reports can be secured from the
prairie fires, which have been raging in
Western Kansas for the past two days.
Today news was received from Russell
county that seven persons were caught
between two fires yesterday and per-
ished. Their names are William
Bailey, Dave Hutchinson, AL
bert Moore, A. Mcdonald.
Mrs. Lefevre, two unknown. Bailey
was fearfullY burned about the abdo-
men and breast, and died in awful
agony. The men were all farmers and
were out feeding their stock. The prairie
fire had been diScerned approaching in
the distance, and the unfortuateS had
made for an open space, where they
hoped they might be enabled to
fight off the torrent of fire. Quickly
getting to work they cleared the ground
for several yards around them, and, as
best they could, dug trench around the
space. Their efforts, however, were
futile, for as the enemy approached the
wind arose, and, changing Just as 1t
reached their frail Gordon, whirled
around in one awful torrent. and Tapped
the poor victims lives out before
they had hardly realized their danger.
The bodies were found this morning,
all but Bailey having died apparently
soon after being struck by the gale of
fire. Reports of damage with loss of
life are rife. but confirmation of them
tonight is impossible.
