Water transportation.

When engaged in their customary
occupation of converting wheat into
flour the millers of Minneapolis are
not doing business for their health,
but rather for what cash there is in
it. Involved in the question of net
profits is the rate of transportation
to the Atlantic seaboard, and the
cxactions of the trunk lines of rail
ways to the East have for years made
life burden to the flour manu-
facrurers of the milling city. To
obtain relief by placing themselves
beyond the power of railway COM
panies to eXtort from them, they have
joined in the organization of strong
corporation for the operation of
line of lake vessels for the transporta-
ton of flour at rates much less than
the rail rates which have heretofore
prevailed. This new project has
been materially aided by the CO.
operation of extensive jobbers who
will load boats on the return trip
and thus reap an advantage from
this new source of competition in the
line of freight transportation. The
cost and benefits of this scheme have
been very deliberately and carefully
calculated by practical men who
know what they are about, and the
movement will be inaugurated
under conditions which will defy the
combined efforts of the railway
interests to thwart it. Shippers
who are backing the project are
desperately in earnest and their sue
cess will prove powerful factor in
the direction of solving the trans
portation problem so far as water
ways are concerned.

William jennings Bryan.

Should the distinguished indi-
vidual whose name serves as a cap
ton to this article not be kept
prominently before the American
people during the next fo II years it
will be through no,want of diligence
on the part of either himself or the
managers OF the associated press.
His evident thirst for public attention
seems not to have become satisfied
during the recent Presidential cam
paign and is equalled only by the
magnitude and solidity of his cheek.
Already movement has been form
ally inaugurated having for its
avowed purpose the nomination in
1900 of Bryan for the Presidency,
and it now appears probable that ne
will then be the nominee of some
political party or faction thereof. In
the meantime much will be seen
and heard of him. He sometimes
attempts show of modesty in this
direction, but when the period
arrives for the election of delegates
TO any national convention upon
which Mr.. Bryan has designs he
will be found actively interested in
the selection of those favorably dis
posed toward the political acrobat
from Nebraska, who will figure on
focusing upon himself the favor
able consideration of about three
conventions at least.

The mercury has gone down cellar,

session of the Office last Saturday and,
we doubt not will make an efficient

Bryant school at South Superior.
Rev. Charles G. Starkweather, who
was elected mayor two years ago and
afterwards deposed, announces that
he is again a candidate for the same
Office and proposes to flight to a fin

preaching municipal campaign an ex-
ceedingly interesting one, as Mr..
Starkweather has not decided to enter
the contest without assurances that
should give him at least a reasonable
prospect Of success. His management
of his own campaign two years ago
proved him TO be good political WIRE
puller, whether or not he had previ-
ously enjoyed any experience In that
direction, and it is significant fact
that not single alderman who voted
for his impeachment was reelected a
year ago.

HARD PUSHED.

The International Bricklayers'
Union must have been very hard
pushed for grievances at its recent
session. 1t appears that some time
ago Senator John Sherman took
occasion to build few brick houses,
for the erection of which he let a
contract. The contractor sublet the
brick-work to a man who did his
own business in his own way, pay
ing no heed to the meddlesome in
reference Of others, and refused to
employ members of the bricklayer's
union, which he had both a legal
and moral right to do. 1t is evident
that the eminent statesman and
tinancier from the Buckeye State
neglected to stipulate in his contract
that sub-contractors should employ
only union labor, and because of
this the august body known as the
international Bricklayers' Union has
made spectacle of itself by striving
to cast reproach upon Senator Sher-
man for no other offense than not
impertinently interfering in the
business of a sub-contractor with
whom he had no business relations
whatever. 1t lis just such untenable
propositions as this that make labor
unions sometimes appear ridiculous.

State Tax.

For several years it has been the
proud boast of the people of Wiscon-
sin that they have had no direct
State tax to pay for defraying the
current expenses of the common
wealth. This has been just cause
for congratulation, but is fortunate
condition of affairs which now seems
destined soon to come to an end.
Two causes are steadily operating to
render necessary before long the
levying ola State tax. One of these
is the constantly increasing sum
required for current expenses, and
the other falling off of the revenues
of the State due to the general
business depression which has pre-
varied during the past four years.
As the State grows older and be-
comes more fully populated the
amount annually required for current
expenses will continually increase,
but it is not so certain that the sources
of revenue which have rendered a
State tax unnecessary will ever again
show a corresponding increase. For
the coming necessity for a direct
STATE tax, and the conditions which
seem to render it inevitable later on,
the party in power cannot be justly
held responsible, except in so far as
it shall prove extravagant in its ap-
Ffrpriation Of public funds. A
