he was a safe, but not a brilliant
administrator. AS Col. Fred Grant
once sagely observed, ut is easier
to handle a surplus than deficit"
1t requires no great financial ability
to administer the treasury in the
time of an overfowing surplus.
Two measures, one financial and
one remedial, are the principal ones
with which the name of Senator
Sherman is identified. He was the
father of the Sherman silver pur-
chase act of 1890, which, after an
experience Of four years, became the
exciting cause of the panic of 1893,
and Mr.. Sherman himself joined in
it's repeal. He is the father of the
antitrust act, enacted in the same
year, designed to prevent combina-
tons made with a view to control
the price of products, and the SUI
preme court of the United States
has just held, in the sugar cases
coming up from Philadelphia, that
it was ineffective to attain the pur-
pose it sought We do not think,
therefore, the senator has eStab-
lished his reputation as financier
or statesman SO firmly that every
body is bound to sneeze when he
takes snuff.

Il is almost always a mistake for
two ladies to go shopping together.
and invariably a mistake for more than
that number 10 attempt to thread the
mazes of the shops in company. Only
very well, strong women are equal to
the strain of it, for the inevitable
cross-purposes are even more fatiguing
than trying to keep together in the
crowds of the shopping district. The
things which interest one have no man
ner of attraction for another. The
woman with children stops to look at
the little gowns and cloaks which
would be so cunning for Nellie or
Charlie, while her childless companion
is impatie to get to the bargain
counter or the India silks. In any
case. if both have purchases to make
one must push through the crowds and
wait while her companion selects and
purchases and waits for her change,
and then the whole process is re-
versed, and thereby the fatigue of both
and the time consumed is doubled. IN
occasional instances when a purchase
of some magnitude is to be made and
the taste and advice of another is de-
sirable a shopping companion is a real
help. But ordinary shopping, the fire.

This Committee Held q PrOtracted
Session Yesterday.
The house Judiciary committee held
a long session yesterday afternoon. The
time was taken up in reading the score
or more bills referred to them. Several
OF the members wanted them classified
and referred to subcommittee without
reading them in their entirety, but
Chairman Underleak had secured
clerk in the person of MIR. Scribner. of
Minneapolis. He has good voice, and,
besides, it was well enough to impress
upon him that work was expected in
order to earn his per diem. As conse-
quence the clerk was required to read
every bill from enactipg clause to in
dorsement, and, in some cases, to read
them second time, especially if they
were long ones.
A number of bills were discussed be-
fore being referred to subcommittee,
and some minor ones will be referred
back to the house with recommends
tons that they pass: one of these is
that, introduced by Representative

If some member will follow up
Senator Towards bill to cut some
Of the fat out of the boiler inspect
or's Office, by one abolishing the
Office entirely, he will confer a
favor upon a suffering public, too
long made the prey of needless
and annoying law. OStensibly the
inspection is provided to protect
others against the possible neglect,
carelessness or parsimony of own
erS of steam boilers, which might by
explosion damage other property
than the owners. 1t was another
step in that policy of paternalism
which so distinguishes our state.
In practical effect it has amounted
to nothing but an opportunity for
few men to prey upon the industries
of others by eXacting from them
fees for alleged inspection of boil
ers and examination of engineers.
If there was any instance in which
the active, acute self-interest of the
individual could be left to act as
safeguard, it is in the case of steam
directly interested in the safety of
the boiler and the efficiency of the
engineer. Companies have been
formed for the purpose of inspecting
and insuring boilers against explo-
sion, and have found a lucrative
support in this business growing out
of this very self-interest Of the own
ers to guard against accident. The
same interest compelS the owner to
be careful in the selection Of his en-
gineer. The explosion of the boiler
not only destroys the boiler, but
involves the building in which it is
located, and the lives of the en-
ployer and employees as well.
Not only theoretically is the Office
of inspector of boilers needless, but
practically it has shown itself to be
nothing but a useless annoyance.
The whole object of the Office ap-
pears to have been the eXaction of
the fees allowed for making the eX-
animation and giving the certiii-
Gates. Instances are not lacking
where an engineers license has been
granted to persons without an eX-
animation as to their qualifications
as engineers, or without any other
seeming object in view than to get
the fee allowed for making out the
certificate. Like all Of these other
paternal regulations of. human af-
fairs and conduct, the humanitarian
purpose of the Office becomes merely
a cloak for private rapacity and
greed. If, however, the paternal in
stinct of this Legislature is too
strong to permit this common
sense view to be taken, we trust
that at least the boiler inspector will
be shorn Of some of his power to
exact tribute from the unfortunate
persons subjected by the law to his
jurisdiction

1T NEEDS AMENDMENT.

The anti-pooling bill is not going
through the senate with that
creased facility which the personnel
of the committee on interstate COM
merce led the country to expect.
In fact, there are grave doubts eX-
pressed as to whether the bill will
succeed in passing the senate at all,
and it will probably be amended III
some important features before it
passes if it finally gets through.
Mr.. Morrison, chairman of the inter
state commerce commission, has
interpOsed an objection to that
clause of the bill which makes the
pooling contract operative, unless,
prior to the expiration of thirty
days from the filing Of the contract
with the commission, that body eX-
press it's disapproval.
MI Morrison points out that pool
ing contracts do not necessarily
have any reference to the rates
agreed on or adopted, and are mere
ly an agreement of the contracting
parties to divide their earnings.
The period of thirty days is alto
gether too short for the committee
to investigate the rates of the
contracting parties to ascertain
whether they would be injurious to
the public or not, and it may be a
question whether, if they should
make such an investigation indie
pendently, and disapprove of the
contract because the rates We're I'M
fair, their order would be sustained.
IF" says Mr. Morrison, such a
contract were filed, and on inspec-
ton of it nothing appeared but an
agreement to divide traffic earn
irgs, and the committee disap~
proved of it, believing that it would
be used in opposition to the public,
what would be the result? The
carriers will appeal to the court,
which will declare that the contract
discIoses no unlawful purpose;
but the court must presume that
railroads, as we'll as individuals, will
respect their lawful obligations, and
that the contract will be lawful.
The decision of the commission of
disapproval would be reversed. and
it would be directed to approve of
the contract"
This certainly has the appearance
of a woodchuck hole, and the
amendment proposed by Mr. Nor
rison should be adopted, which pro-
vides that "the pooling agreement
should take effect unless the COM
mission shall in the meantime, and
upon such investigation and con-
sideration as it shall deem proper,
make an order disappearing the
agreement, and it shall be the duty
of the commission to make an order
of disapproval whenever it shall be
of the opinion after an investigation
that the operation of any such con-
tract would result in unreasonable
rates" The bill is such a remark
able one, reversing as it does the
entire policy of both statute and
common law, that it cannot be too
strictly scrutiniZed nor it's proVis-
ions made too stringent to prevent
use of the powers thus legalized to
work an injury to the public, whom
the railroads are constructed to
serve.
