Congressman Bsrtholdt VIII Visit Europe
 to Investigate the Immigration Dues.
 tion.
 ST. LOUIS, June 3.-Congressman Bartholdt has left for the cast and Europe. His mission is in the interest of settling the immigration question. It is proposed to make the inspection of immigrants on the other side, rather than on this, to obviate the necessity of sending people back in cases where they do not come up to the requirements of our present immigration laws. Mir. Bar. tholdt will try to ascertain whether our consuls abroad will be able to at. tend to this inspection. If not, it may be necessary to appoint special inspect. ors on the part of our government, and send them abroad for that purpose.

AMERICAN FARMS.
The London Times Comments on an Agri-
 cultural Report.

cultural Report.
 LONDON, June S.-The Times this morning has an editorial commenting upon the agricultural report of Mir. Hugh Cough, first secretary of the British embassy in Washington It says: All the dismal comparisons contained in this report tell one tale of enormous production at non remunerative prices. With exceed. ingly cheap land, and with econ omy of production and handling carried to a remarkable length by commercial ingenuity, the American producers are yet batfied by the mag nitude of their own operations. Loudly as the American farmers complain, they at all events have plenty. Those of them who went from Europe would probably have failed to enjoy as much had they remained in European cities to glut the labor market They <-il desire, however, to command more of the good things of life, and it is from them that the demand comes for all sorts of economic experiments. They are firm believers in the notion that an in- creased currency would cause rise in prices Therefore, they are an easy prey of the willy persons who want to sell silver But the price of grain at liverpool would not alter, though every western farmer had all the sil- yer currency the mine owners are anxious to supply" The article ar arrives at the conclusion that the Brit ish farmer might make more of his ha

HOW THEY. STAND.
A Poll of the Next Congress on Three Lead-
 Ing Issues.

Ing Issues.
 NEW YORK, June 3.-The World yes. terday published telegraphic poll of the next congress, as far as obtainable, upon the silver, tariff and income tax questions. The World sums up the re- suit as follows: "In a general way it may be said that out of IF mem bers who gave unequivocal answers to the silver question fifty-six favor free coinage, foyty-four favor bimetallism generally, with the proviso of an in- ternational agreement Only seven- teen can be fairly classed as favoring a single gold standard, and the atti- tude of some of these even is not de- finite. The south and far western states are almost unanimous for free coinage. The central states lean to- ward silver, with international bi- metallic qualifications, and it is only ir New York, New England and ad- iacent eastern states that there are any avowedly gold standard men.
 ''In regard to the tariff. only twenty eight members are against any change, while thirty-five favor moderate changes and thirty-eight are pro- nounced for radical changes. A few a.e free traders The moderates are chie2y those who think changes will be necessary in order to increase rev CT ues.
 ''The income tax question brought out many sharp and piquant answers. Fcrty-nine congressman say that they favor the principle of the tax Forty seven oppose it. A great many evade the question or failed to answer it."

TIE Louisville (Ky.) Courier-J JournaI printed an article recently alleging that Liggett & Myers, the big plug to. bacco manufacturers of St. Louis, had bought up all the burley leaf round the country. They had bought about 12,0O0 hogsheads in the burley district, about 5000 or 10000 hogsheads in Louisville and also made heavy pur- chases in Cincinnati. When it is re- called that cash is paid for tobacco, the immensity of the corner may be better realized. It was said to be pretty certain that the parties had &C., cumulated not less than 3O,OOO, ,OOC pounds.

AN ERupITB BRAKEMAN.
A West Pointer Working His Way Up In
 the Railroad Business.


 A rather griiny young man, in dusty corduroys and stubby black beard, sat chatting with Freight Traffic Manager Mccormick.
 Let mo introduce MT. Charles Hine, freight brakeman on our Chicago diyi- sion, ,' said Mir Mccormick
 Mir. Hino rose, and acknowledging the reporters greeting put out his hand-he was shy finger nail in tho way of busi- ness us the result of his first months ex- perience on tho road.
 Mir. Hino has resigned his commission as lieutenant in tho United States army to turn freight brakeman," continued Mr. Mccormick. "lfo is graduate of Wash ington high school, of tho West Point Mill tary academy and of tho Cincinnati Law school, but he is ambitious and wants to graduate in tho Big Four college. He is taking the operating department course and will go in for his examination and de- gree of superintendent one of these days
 My ambition is to be superintond- ent," he says. 1T have studied the tho ory, but 1 want the practice. Theory and practice combined produce the ideal condi- tion in any profession and in railroading profession which is comparatively new, nearly all tho higher officers rose from tho ranks. After the war there were thou sands of educated men who came out of tho service, and, finding themselves displaced in their old vacations, began life over again by taking subordinate positions on railroads. These mon naturally rose and now fill the official positions am simply doing from choice what many were forced to do by circumstances, that is all. There is nothing Quzotic about it..
 ''I suppose that you didn't think there was enough danger in the profession of arms and thought that you would try freight brakings" asked the reporter ''Tho railroad companies killed or maimed nearly 35,00O employees in 1898, you know.'
 Mir. Hine smiled, and glancing at his wounded finger said that he didn't pro- pose to get killed or maimed if he could help it, but that that was part of the game. I havo just drawn my first months pay, S60.20, :" he added, and 1 rather think that I earned it. My companions arc good fellows and have received me very kindly. The work comes little hard, but I'm not at all discouraged and mean to go through with it. 1 have fallen through q cattle guard once and knocked off finger nail and hustled freight but it's all right I know what was getting into when be- gan it.
 The young man is 23 years of age, of spare figure, and it is evident that he is not very strong physically. Ho is native of Virginia. He has no special influence or backing to bring promotion and says that he doesn't expect it except as he earns 1t in the regular course.-Cincinnati En- Iuirer.

 "Is Wausau near Milwaukeo?"
 "No; nearly 200 miles from Milwaukee,"
 "Near St. Paul and Minneapolis"
 "No; away over in the central part of the state.'
 Near what large city?"
