The contest for United States sena-
tor in Idaho develops some strange
things. Dubois, who is Republican
in everything but free silver, was de-
feated by Heitfield, Populist. This
was in accordance with an agreement
made between the Populists and Demo-
Gratis of that state prior to the recent
election. Notwithstanding this agree
ment, Senator Jones. Secretary Walsh.
and other prominent Democrats, did
their best to secure Dubois election,
and sent J. R. Sovereign there to work
against a Populjst and for Dubois. Just
as he worked against Populist West in
the Memphis district last fall.

A decision of the Indiana Supreme
Court upheld the validity of the state
law of 1893, which provides for the
taxation Of telephone, telegraph, pal
ace car, sleeping car, dining car, ex-
press and fast freight companies, and
empowers the state board of tax COM
missioners to assess taxation other
than that of local character, and i'm
poses a penalty of so per cent upon
those failing to pay their taxes at the
time specified. The amount involved In
the Indiana cases is estimated by the
Indiana Encouragement at 100000.
In the Ohio cases the amount involved
is more considerable. The state will,
1t is said, be gamer by about $780,
900, the approximate amount of the
taxes for three years, not to speak OF
the amount which will go into the
state treasury from this source annu-
ally.

Political Science" often of an inge-
NOUS sort, is used in choosing the sites
of capitals; but Brazil has now en-
ployed natural science for the purpose.
Rio. de. Janeiro being unhealthy, the
Brazilian government appointed COM
mission of scientists to select a loca-
ton suitable for new capital. The
commission has fixed upon plateau
1000 feet above the sea-level. The dis
lance by rail from the coast is said to
be eighteen hours. No yellow fever
invades the spot, and other conditions
favorable to health are reported. The
Popular Science News says that this is
believed to be the first occasion on rec
ord in which science has been called
In to choose the site Of capital. Bad
air and bad legislation have doubtless
been associated, more than once, as
cause and effect.

in debt to the storekeepers. The local
storekeepers received their pay in kind.
In fact, everything was drifting back
to the old times before money was in
vented. And this was rot in one Sec
ton only, but in large sections. MY
impression is" continues Mr.. Dodge,
that If some thoughtful plan could be
suggested, 1t would be quite possible
to educate all the agricultural people
of the country to understand that
man who was thrifty and honest ana
sober and prompt can always in some
way get some money. 1t is very hard
thing. We do not understand 1t at all
here because we have so much money
moving among us; but If every time
we went to a store We were unable 10
buy anything except on credit, II we
had no money to pay down to enable
us to reap the advantage of cash pay
ments-we would begin to be fretful.
came from Indianapolis With this
impression, and l have only ventured
to submit 1t because 1 feel so deeply
that unless those of us in the more
favored parts of the country under
stand the condition Of our brothers ana
our citizens in the other parts
of the country-unless we bring about
some wise methods for their relief
when the year of 1900 comes we shall
be swamped with an infinitely more
powerful vote against us than during
this last election"
There is some consolation in the
fact that the sleepy old East is at last
waking up to the seriousness of the
situation, and that she is also seriously
watching which way the political cat
is likely to jump in 1900.

IGNORANCE OF THE EAST.

Member of the New York Chamber
of Commerce Talks in Meeting.
At a recent meeting of the New York
Chamber of Commerce William E.
Dodge, a millionaire member of the
body, produced quite sensation. In a
speech he said the East did not under
stand the situation in the West, and
that there was a lack OF money in
important sections that practically
makes the transaction of business i'm
possible except by the primitive sys-
tenn of barter" Mr. Dodge is one of
the men who in the recent campaign
declared that there was plenty of
money in the country, but he has since
visited the West, and admits that he
was very much mistaken and that the
capitalists in the East do not under
stand the situation in the West and
South. 81 found" says he, that there
were great sections of Southern and
Western country where there was abb
solutely no money at ALL where the
most primitive forms of barter OBJ
Lained; where everything was most
disorganized." Mr.. Dodge speaks of
one gentleman who told him that by
some happy accident he received a $50
bill and had to spend four days riding
to get it changed, and being unable to
do so, had to send it off.
There were senator's he said, who
told me that their constituents seldom
saw dollar in money from the begin
ming of the year to the end, with the
result that they had constantly to get

David Starr Jordan, president

David Starr Jordan, president OF
Stanford University, says: Zone Of
the most disquieting features of the
social condition of our times is the
rush of young men to the cities. Re-
sulting from this is the weakness and
instability of the farming population
as compared with the same class half
a century ago. Steadiness of national
character gees with firmness of foot
hold on the soil. We may we'll look
with alarm on a condition in which
all men of wealth and power shall be
gathered in the cities, while the farms
are left to the weak and inefficient or
to the peasants of other nations. AS
matters are, the cities are great de-
stroyers of human life. We have not
learned properly to govern them nor
to make them effective, and every city
is full of human failures, results of
misdirected effort. A tour of the prin-
cipal streets, halls and meeting places
on Sunday evening in any great city
will show how terribly true this is.
Certainly one-fourth the present pop
ulation of such city as San Francisco
for example has no real business there.
These people are doing nothing which
is effective for themselves or helpful
to others, and the condition Of the
other three-fourths, and most likely
their own condition, would be distinct
ly improved If these misfit persons
would go back to the farms"

"Tell me, thou wretched wight OF
the world, thou unkind creature,
which art past all sense and feeling of
God, which knowest the will of God,
and doest the contrary; how
darest thou come into the church? 1t
is of the church that God hath said,
Thou shalt take no usury;' and thou
knowest He hath so said. How darest
thou read or hear the word of God
which condemneth usury and thou
knowest he doth condemn it. How
darest to come into the company of the
brethren? Usury is the plague, and de-
struction, and undoing of the breth-
rem: and this thou knowest. How
darest thou look upon thy children?
Thou maketh the wrath Of God fall
down from heaven upon them; thy
iniquity shall be punished in them to
the third and fourth generation. This
thou knowest. How darest thou look
up into heaven? Thou hast no dwell
ling there; thou shalt have no place
in the tabernacle of the Highest, this
thou knowest. Because thou rob-
best the poor, deceiveth the simple,
and eateth of the widows houses;
therefore shall thy children be naked,
and beg their bread, therefore shalt
thou and thy riches perish together"

They Offer No Remedy.

The financial condition of the coun-
try is deplorable. 1t is impossible to
imagine how it could be worse. The
only consolation Populist can have
is that neither of the ole parties
have yet proposed any remedy. and
that none have yet been abls to dem
onstrate on the stump or through the
press that the Populist platform, if
crystalized into law, would fail to re-
store permanent prosperity to all the
people.-Missouri World.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Taxation Abolished and Expenses faid
Out of Profit

Taxation Abolished and Expenses Faiu
Out of Profit.
Coming Nation: All who are famll-
lar with the modern requirements OF a
great city recognize the Importance OF
the question of how to most easily
raise the necessary revenues lot the
maintenance of its various depart
ments. Much has been written upon
this important subject, and many plans
have been suggested. and that which
is meeting with most approval Is TO
secure a large portion of the revenue
from monopolies of public service,
either through some method OF TAXA
ton or from collective ownership ana
operation of them.
Glasgow has adopted the latter, and
so successfully that after Jan. 1, 1887,
she will levy no more taxes, but Will
derive sufficient from municipal-owned
services to pay all the expenses OF her
municipal government.
Among the most important of these
is her street railway system. The re-
port of last year of the operation OF
the Glasgow corporation tramways for
the first eleven months they were under
municipal management-from July l,
1894, to June 1, 1S95-showed this ex-
pertinent to be a wonderful success. 1t
gave the number of passengers car
ried during that period as 57,O46,647;
the gross receipts were 81, 132,O7O; ex-
penditures, s1,011,045, thus leaving
balance to the city credit Of $111,O2O.
And this result was achieved with
reduction in fares amounting in most
cases to 33 per cent, brought about
through the adoption Of the 1-cent fare
for half-mile stages. Thirty eight per
cent of the tickets sold for the first
eleven months were 1-cent tickets.
These reductions of fares have tended
to popularize the service and increase
the receipts, and this gives to Glasgow
the distinction of having cheaper street
locomotion than any other city in the
world.
The traffic returns for the year aggre-
gate s1,61S,389; number of passengers
carried, sc, 462 1914, showing the average
fare paid by each person carried to be
a. fraction less than 1B cents. The
number of passengers shows an in
crease of about 3S per cent over the
first period of eleven months.
The employees are furnished with
uniforms at the expense of the depart
ment. A friendly society for purposes
of mutual aid has been instituted
among the employees, the rules of which
were approved by the tramway COM
mittee, and the department adds to the
fund of the society sum equal to one
half of that contributed by the men,
bers, and though membership therein
is entirely optional the number on the
roll is LAT, and there is every indica-
ton that the society will prove great
success.
For clearness and attention to de-
tails the committees report is a model
one. and is we'll worth careful study by
all who are interested in the problems
pertaining to municipal government,
and is a complete answer, in a sternly
practical way, to the opponents of mu-
nicipal ownership Of natural monopo-
lies This Glasgow experiment, and
the success attending it, must prove an
important factor in the solution of
these vexed questions relative to the
raising and expanding Of municipal
revenue. HENRY r. LEGATE.
