WOULD VETO tT.

A Proviso i'm the Sundry Civil Bill Which
VIII Likely Not Go Through.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.AThe possibil-
ity that the senate will send the sundry
civil bill back to the house with amend
ment authorizing the secretary OF the
treasury to issue certificates Of indebt-
edness is not yet stirring much discus
sion in the house. The members of the
appropriations committee who will meet
the conferees upon the bill say that they
have not yet given the matter thought,
but that if the secretary of the treasury
wants the authority they are willing to
give it to him. The statement of the
secretary that the provision will not be
needed has its weight with the admins
tration Democrats, but not with the
Republicans, many of whom say they
support the amendment. 1t will surely
be opposed by the Democrats, however,
il the clause compelling future issues of
bonds to be offered at public sale be re-
tanned. That is construed to be prohi-
bition against fulfilling agreement in the
recent contract to offer to the syndicate
any bonds issued before Oct. l. Demo
cratic members who are ON the best
terms with the president do not hesitate
to say that he would veto the sundry
civil bill rather than have it become 8
law with such stipulation incorporated

RECOMMENDED REDUCED RATES.
Action Of the Joint Minnesota and North
Dakota Legislative Committee.

Action Of the Joint Minnesota and North /
Dakota Legislative Committee.
ST.. PAUL, Feb. 22 The joint legisla- |
tive committee representing Minnesota
and North Dakota, met again at the
capitol for the further hearing of the
railroads i'm the matter of freight reduc-
tion. MFR. Moore of the Northern Pa
cific, and Mr.. Grover Of the Great North
ern, addressed the committee in behalf
of their respective roads.
The arguments of the representatives
Of the railroads were that the present
rates are not enough to pay the com.
panies fair rate of interest
ON their road bed and equip
ment. Besides the railroads have,
during the past 10 years, reduced
the rates of freight ON various commod-
tiles an average of nearly 80 per cent.
Wheat rates have been reduced 40 per
cent, lumber 30 per cent and emigrant's
goods have been reduced, comparatively
from $50 to $35. All this has been in
the interest of the agricultural North
west, and further reduction, bringing
the receipts very nearly down to the
actual operating expenses or the road,
leaving no margin for interest on the
investment, or for dividends on the
stock, would be an injustice to the roads.
Didn't Endorse the Argument.
The members Of the committee, how
ever, did not agree with the views of
the two gentlemen. They were unable
to see why, with the reduced price of
material and labor, the companies could
not afford to make a reduction, CORE
spending TO the lessened cost of operat-
ing, upon the rates for transporting
staple commodities. 50 ,
| After much discussion resolution
was offered and passed by the commit
tee calling for the framing of a bill, to
be introduced simultaneously in the
legislatures of the two states, which bill
shall require reduction in the freight
rates of the various railroads within
their borders, on wheat, coal and lum
ber, of 10 per cent from the present
schedule. These bills will be introduced
next Tuesday at which time the commit
tee will reassemble at Bismarck, N. D

Regarding she Outcome of Vote In the

LONDON, Feb. 22.--There is great anx-
iety i'm tine lobbies of the house OF COM
mons as to the result of the coming di-
vision ON the motion of Sir Henry
James, for an adjournment of the house
in order that he may call attention to
the Indian opportunities on cotton. 1t
is said that a Lancashire party have
promises of the support of number of
Conservatives as well as Liberals
interested in the cotton trade,

is sufficient to bring about the
defeat of the government. The attitude
of the government, however, 1t is un-
derstood, viii depend upon the decision
to be arrived at at cabinet council.

.mau With the Branded Hand"

The person who became famous III the
annals of America as The Man With
the Bran dod Hand" was Captain jon
athan Walker. He was born at Ear-
wick, Mass, in 1899, and died at Lake
Harbor, Mich, ON April 20, 1878. On
June 23, 1874, he attempted to steal
seven slaves from the coast OF Florida,
the intention being to take them to Mas
sau, in the British island of New Provl-
dence. When only short distance out,
he was overtaken and captured by the
sloop Catherine and taken back to Key
West. At that place he was kept IN jail
until he could be removed to Pensacola,
where o new trial was given. He was
sentenced to prison and chained by
chain and ring bolt. He was kept fol
some time imprisoned i'll that manner,

that death was due to apoplexy, but the

MONEY MAKING.
The Quicke', Way to Pile Up Wealth In
TAis business Era.

The Ouicke', Way to Pile Up Wealth In
ISts business Era.
tThe reason of the modern differences |
in favor of business as an instrument Of |
money making is not far to seek. 1t is
the enormous growth i'll the scale OF ev-
erything in which business can be done.
The enterprise of a merchant, Of con-
tractor, of a mine dealer, even of i. shop
keeper, may now cover the whole world
and may be carried on, moreover, main
" upon credit. 1t may be doubted
whether, except in those transactions
which are called financial, and which
really mean the taking of heavy bribes
for pecuniary support, any one transac-
ton ever yields quite as much as the
same transactions would have yielded
go years ago; whether, for example, any
cargo ever produces ton for ton an equal
margin of profit, or whether any Gus
toner in a shop pays quite ~ heavy
percentage on the goods he buys.
It is the magnitude and multiplica-
ton of cargoes which yield N)rtunes,
the thousands instead of hundreds OF
customers whom clever dealers may in
duce to spend money. The new system
of rapid turnover is, of course, precisely
the same thing--the dealer selling four
times what he did and using only the
same capital. This advantage of scale is
almost entirely wanting to the profes-
sional man, for the obvious reason that
he is hampered by limitations Of time.
There are only 600 minutes in q hard
worked day, and the seeker after in
come, be he as able as he may or as de-
cided or as rapid, must give some OF
| those minutes to each client or patient
or contractor with difficulty to meet.
Ii he does not. he loses custom, and
with custom income rapidly slips away.
/ There are no doubt favorite lawyers
doctors and even engineers whose ad
vice is sought at great expense, whe1
equally good advice is procurabie much
cheaper, but still the favorites must Civ
their advice and lose their days in doinl
it, or they will speedily be deserted.
Nothing can alter this first law, Will
the exaggeration of professional fees
kept down in the case of solicitors b.
positive statute, in that of doctors by al
etiquette difficult to define or explain
there seems to be no reason why "a grea
physician should not charge according
to skill-and i'll that of barristers aI
engineers, by competition, which
though never acknowledged, is none til
8 less real and effective. We can not sc
what is to alter this condition of affairs
and do not believe that, however civj
lization may develop itself, professions
skill will ever again be the qulcke'
= road to large accommodations. --Londo
Spectator.
