UNCLE SAM HAS THE CALL.


WASHINGTON, March 2S.-"We have
got the call on every warship worth
having that is for sale in Europe" the
secretary OF the navy said to n visitor
two or three days ago. Peace hath
her victories. The United States has
won in the preliminary contest for
points with Spain. This has more
bearing on the question Of future hos.
tilities than appears in surface indica-
tions Out of the $50, 900 appro-
priated so suddenly by congress this
government has bought in Europe two
cruisers, torpedo-boat and Il great
quantity of ammunition. Such are
the surface results, Much more i'm.
portant are those which do not ap.
pear The fact is that the United States
has cornered the stock Of war ma
terial on the European markets. The
purchases represent but small num-
Der of the transactions What the
United States really wanted has been
bought outright, and is being de-
livered as rapidly as possible What of
the salable war material the United
States did not need, but Spain might
utilize, has been tied with options for
this government twill be thus held.
The options will run until war or
peace is assured. If they are released
after war begins, the material will be
contraband and cannot be acquired by
Spain.

tieman, says stste Ownership IL the
Only Logical Solution.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 9S-The dee.
laration Of George N. Munger, at the
cattlemen's convention at Abilene,
that the only solution Of the stock
yards question is state ownership, has
given rise to considerable gossip in
political as well as live stock circles
Besides being cattleman OF some i'm.
portance, Munger is a regent Of the
Kansas State agricultural college.
There is no man in Kansas in better
position to represent the populist
party among the cattlemen than Nun
ger, and IL is believed by the re-
publicans and not denied by the
populists that Munger, in his
speech, was feeling the senti-
ment" Of the meeting with view to
future political operations Munger
asserted that there is nothing in the
constitution to prevent the state from
building stock yards of its own; that
it has the power OF eminent domain
and can secure land for the site; that
the interests of stockmen and the own
ers of stock yards are directly opposed,
one to the other, and that no other
settlement than state ownership will
ever satisfy the public. Munger be-
lieves that the state can build yards in
or near Kansas City. Kan.

WhatsIs q Trust 4?
To the Editor Of the Reflector:

To the Editor OF the Reflector:
In common with many others at
tended the session OF the Cattleman's
association to hear Governor Leedy's
address. From previous reading Of
Populist platforms and papers and
especially Of the official acts Of the
governor and Attorney General Boyle
| had come to the conclusion that il
there was any principle for which the
PopuIist party stood it was opposition
to trusts and combines, especially
those which affect the price Of the
necessaries of life.
You can imagine my surprise there
fore when, after few preliminary re-
marks, the governor devoted his adj
dress to an approval of the Cattle
mems association whose avowed OBJ
ject is to control so far as possible
the price Of cattle. Not only did be
approve, but gave some valuable hints
as to how success might be effected,
even to the extent of controlling leg
islation, if necessary. came away
with the query in my mind. What
is trust anyhow"
After some little thought, | came
to the same conclusion as a certain
Scotchman of whom | once heard. 1t
is related that two Scotchmen were
zealously debating the question as to
what was or was not orthodox in their
religious faith. Finally the one who
was being worsted in the argument
inquired somewhat petulantly, "What
is orthodoxy anyhow" to which his
opponent replied, THAT is my doxy."
"Well, then what is heterodoxyp' to
which the other at once replied Your
doxy, of course"
So, | have concluded, after listen
ing to the governors remarks that if
a combination of capital or other in
terests is favorable to me it is per-
fectly right and proper and ought to
be fostered and protected but if it
should be opposed to my interests, in
reality or fancy, it is a wicked trust
and ought to be suppressed even if it
does require the whole power of the
State to accomplish it.

TO TEST THE LAW.


LINCOLN, Neb., March %. The Ne
braska state board Of transportation,
after an extended conference, an
nounced its intention yesterday OF en-
forcing a reduction in local freight
rates on all roads in Nebraska The
reduction will amount to from 10 to
ID per cent The action is the
result of the supreme court decision
at Washington declaring the max
imum freight rate law imperative. BY
an act of the last Nebraska legislature
the state board is clothed with arbi-
trary power, permitting reductions at
its discretion not only Of railroads, but
of telegraph, telephone and express
companies. This is the first effort to
test the new law, action having been
delayed awaiting the supreme court
decision. II rests with the roads to
fight the order either by injunction o.
mandamus.

Experiments on the memory.

The celebrated French psychologist
Professor Alfred BiDet, in paper on
1.-The Experimental Study of Memory"
states that so far attempts have been made
to measure but one kind of memory but
that it Is a great advance to be able to in
troduce tho concept of measurement into
this problom at oil. Experiments deal
with the number of memory images that
can be stored at one trial without allow
Ing time for rest to the subject. Successive
Investigations have been made on the
measurement of the memory for figures
and syllablcs The development of these
localized memories cannot be considered
rs sign Of the development Of the other
memories. Reservations must be 1naCo ms
to conclusions to be drawn from these ex-
periments. A series Of figures is read to o
subject at regular speed generally two
figures per second). He then endeavors to
repeat the figures without error in the or
der in which he heard them. Any adult
can give four easily; then five, six and so
on, until a number is reached which can
not be repeated correctly. Each trial Ia
repeated, with intervals of rest Expert
ments taken together show that not only
tention, arc employed. AS children hive
less control over their attention, they re-
tain fewer figures by this method than
adults. The average educated adult re-
tains seven figures; child from 6 to 8
retains five; a child of 10, six. Jacques In
andi, the celebrated lightning calculator
is able to commit more than 40 figures at
one trial.-Boston Transcript.
