HILL AND WILLARD.
Striving for Control of the

HILL LIKELY TO BE SUCCESSFUL
The Adams Committee Is Working
With Hfm-Mr. Hill to Arrive In
New York Tonight.

New York. May is.-The Wall street
news agency says; Taere is good author
ity for the statement that James J. Hill
has succeeded in closing some kind of
deal involving his connection in some way
with Northern Pacific affairs. The ma
sure OF the deal cannot be exactly learn

ing. plays an important part therein.
Hill is expected TO arrive from London
tomorrow night Samuel Hill IS coming
East 10 meet him. The recent decline in
the junior bonds and stocks Of the COM
pany is thought 10 be due TO A belief upon
the part Of some holders that the reor-
ganiza ton OF the property IS likely to be
severe. 1t Is pointed out that control of
the second and third mortgages would be
unnecessary unless drastic reorganlza-
ton was intended. The recent improve
ment in the company's business. ii is
thought, may interfere with a drastic
plan
Definite facts as 10 the efforts OF Presi-
dent Hill, of the Great Northern railroad,
10 secure control OF the Northern Pacific
are contained IN the following special
dispatch TO the New York World:

an important connection with Northern
Pacific railroad affairs. The following
board OF officers were elected: c. B.

DEMOCRATIC VS.. REPUBLICAN
JUSTICE.

Report from South Dakota says
the citizens of that place are utterly
dissatisfied with the sentenced im-
pesed upon the defaulting State treas
urer, W. w. Taylor, who it will be
remembered absconded with $780,
600, crippling the financial condition
of the State TO high tention OF Sc
robustness. Taylor, Republican,
was tried before Republican judge
and prosecuted by a Republican
prosecuting attorney. and it is gene
rally conceded that this gives reason
for tue Inadequate sentence of only
tive yeMs in the State penitentiary
which, BY allowance for two months
spent in Jail and four months for
good conduct, is reduced to eighteen
months. Democratic justice in Mis-
sissippi gave its recent defaulting
treasurer five years, and then mnch
doubt existed as to the certainty of
the mans guilt.

A Real Calamity HowIer.

With respect to the prlccor cotton.
take the case Of a small farmer.
Last year he gathered six b ales, sold
them at an average Of 5 cents and
pocketed $50. This year he has re-
duced his crop so that he will gather
about three bales. II he sells them
at s cents, he will pocket Si2o.
Thus, though the price has nearly
doubled, he will have less cash for
trade than he had last year, and he
will find his clothing 10 per cent
higher, his iron utensils 81 per cent
higher, and his boots aud shoes 10
per cent. higher. Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
The Commercial Herald invites
the close and careful attention OF
"thc small farmer" to this sum.
1t teaches that class of our fellow
citizens two lessons of value. First,
he will find that cotton bales at B
cents pound, weigh more than at
8. Second, it is proved by this past
gland master in the cause Of calam-
ity and l6 to /, that the decrease of
acreage in cotton and the consequent
decrease In food crops, Is mistaken
economy. --Vicksburg Herald.

Colonel Mcclure, the able ed

was in Atlanta recently and is
credited with saying the follow
ing Sound fact:''
"The South can never perman-
emily prosper until it can get en-
tirely away fr,m the heresy of
cheap money. Thesupport given
to cheap money, and degraded
currency by the South has done
more to injure industrial emmigra-
tlon,inyestment. etc. land to impair
the growth of Southern States
than all other causes combined
since the war and there can be no
especial development in any
Southern State until the South is
thoroughly anchored in favor of
honest money, by which the men
who earn an honest dollar shall
get a like honest dollar In return. },

The Passing of the Silver Craze.

Sound money won decisive VIC
tory in the Farmers National Con.
gress which is now in session at At
lanta. Tuesday a resolution was
introduced committing the congress
to the free coinage of silver at a ra
ito not to exceed fifteen TO one but it
was defeated by vote OF 251 TO 1O4,
the North, South and East voting
unanimously against it. The silver
states OF the West were the only ones
that supported the resolution, and
this Shove quite clearly that the sill
yer movement, as Secretary Carlisle
said in his Boston speech, IS losing
ITS momentum, and will soon be a
thing OF the past. For the past three
months the silver men have been rap-
IDLY losing ground, and in many of
their organs the rampant 16 to l ed
itorials no longer appear, which is
very good evidence that the leaders
OF the silverites are getting discour-
aged. Georgia had been reckoned
as solid for silver, but Yesterday her
delegates in the farmers Congress
divided on the free coinage resolu-
ton, the majority of them voting
against it. The free silver craze like
a storm ragged fiercely for time, but
the wind in it has speut its force. and

Gladstone Is BaffIed.

Mr.. Gladstone wrote letter on
the liquor question to the late temper
ance congress which held its sessions
in London. 1t is an instructive pro-
duction. II is a confession by the
most intelligent and distinguished
statesman Of the age that, after q
lifetime Of study, he does not know
near as much about the subject as
Warner Miller, Roosevelt, Carlos
Martyr, the Sunday closers and 9th
er professional reformers think they
know, without having studied the
subject at all.
Mr.. Gladstone says: "While pro-
foundly sensible of the immense i'm
portance Of the liquor question, l can
not pretend that have mastered its
difficulties. see it clearly in Ger
tain of its aspects, but as a whole It
battles me. have no doubt that the
local option principle is sound, but
they must be Of very sanguine tenn
permanent who believe that it is suffl-
cient to dispose of the entire ques-
tion."
He then says that the Gothenburg
plan has been tried with partial sue
cess in Scandinavia, but he does not
know that IL would work elsewhere.
He has poor opinion of ''the scheme
of limitation by reducing the plumber
of licenses He thinks it unfortu-
nate that "a plan Of free trade, with
strict police superversion," has not
been tried in Great Britain.
This statement from the greatest
living Englishman, a man of pio-
FUND thought, of pious convictions,
OF vast humanity, should teach les
son Of modesty and reserve to the
preachers and teachers without a
scintilla of his worth and knowledge
who have established rules of pros
cripHon in politics and society on
this'subject of which they understand
so little that their knowledge is COM
paratively valueless. The liquor
question is an unsolved problem, and
is likely to remaiu so until mankind
acquires from education and exper-
ience great additional amount of
practical knowledge ON moral and
social subjects. Chicago Chronicle.
