New Ideas and New Blood RevoIu-
tionizing the Business World.
Minneapolis Journal.
This IS tho period Of reorganization, new
ideas and new blood in industrial control.
Five years ago old systems were in force;
today all is new or being made SO under
the light Of advanced ideas.
There is not railroad system of i'm
portance in the country that has not been
made over in the last five years Why?
Because the new idea in railroad manage
mcnt is not to increase the cost of trans
portation, but to reduce it, and this can
be accomplished only by reducing the ex-
pense of transportation, which means that
grades must be reduced, curves cut out,
bridges strengt thened, larger trainloads and
larger cars.
The locomotive works of the country
have been working full capacity to supply
the railroads with "Mogul" locomotives In
order that the new idea" in railroading
may be inaugurated on the principal sys-
TENS. The Lake Shore system has just
received from the locomotive shops eleven
mogul locomotives for passenger service
These breathing monsters are believed to
be the heaviest ten wheel locomotives ever
built. They weigh III 900 pounds each
The driving wheel diameter Is eighty inches,
or six and two-thirds feet. These engines
will haul fourteen cars sixty miles an hour.
On the Lake Shore road II has been the
practice to run trains In two sections when
the number OF cars exceeded twelve Now
tho train will run as one, saving the expense
Of a second engine and another crew, be-
sides extra wear on track, etc. Sixty miles

ing. The limited trains run at a high rate

quent sixty-m dashes.
1t should not be lost sight OF here that
the new rail policy is settling many of the
questions that in the minds OF some made
government ownership imperative.
The new Idea has reached the Industrial
field, where the present policy stands for
reduced cost to consumer by means OF saw

the trust question broadly because at pres
ent deep prejudices prevail in the minds OF
people against them, but the effect OF the

TRUST OK GORED.
A Greedy, Inflated Combine Ronrs
Against Taxes.
Roars


That great combine known as the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire company has begun suit
in a federal court to enjoin the collection
OF tax, which it alleges is unjust, upon
some property II owns in Lawrence, Kan.
The property in question is a wire mill
which was bought by the trust" some
months ago. 1t was closed at once, At
the time OF the purchase the mill was CIV
ing employment to 200 residents OF Law
renee. More than 100 of the old employees
are idle There is no work for them at
their trade in that city. There Is no as
surance of getting work at 1t IL they 60

American Steel and Wire company that
the county officials are putting a burden

This may be the case. AS two wrongs do
not make a right, the courts will grant the
company the relief asked for IL it has been
taxed unjustly. But what shall be done to
redress the first and more grievous wrong?
serious injury has been inflicted on the
city of Lawrence and many OF its inhabi-
tants. productive property in the city
has been bought for the sole purpose OF
making it unproductive, thus decreasing
the aggregate of taxable values, striking at
the prosperity OF the city and checking its
growth. What shall be done to a combine
which works evil thus deliberately? 1t
cannot be punished by excessive taxation on
the mill it has dismantled-taxation which
does not benefit the men 1t has deprived of
employment. But il the principles enunc-
ated in the glucose case were applied in
Kansas that Lawrence mill could be taken
away from the trust"

MISINTERPRETlNG AMERICAN ACTION.
A London dispatch refers to the ac-
tion of the United States in asking as
surances from foreign governments re-
garding the open door policy in China
and the understood acquiescence of
the British government as evidence that
this country recognizes the impossible
ity of conducting its foreign affairs
without the cooperation of other ma
tions, and as the first practical earnest
of it's desire to conduct eastern negotia-
tions in concert with European govern
ments. 1t Is not incredible that this
view should obtain in England, but it
is obviously Il misinterpretation of the
meaning of the action of this govern
ment, which Americans do not regard
as intended to secure the cooperation
of European governments in respect to
our affairs in the farseast or elsewhere.
The acquiescence of Great Britain, if
that has been given, was a most natural
thing for that power to do as the cham
pion of the open door policy in China.
ernment has ever asked British ac-
quiescence, nor was it required in order
to secure from other governments the
assurance we requested that Anieri-
can rights and interests in China, guar
anteed by treaty with that empire, will
be respected. The position of Great Brit
ain i'm respect of the open door rlade it
inevitable that 1t would be in accord
with the action of the United States
and this fact would have its influence
with the powers concerned without any
formal expression of acquiescence on
the part of Great Britain. Only those
who are ready to believe in an alleged
secret alliance will be disposed TO as
sumo that our government has sought
British cooperation in its effort to OBJ
definite assurances of fair treatment for
our commercial interests in China.
The United States, it can be conf
IDENTITY asserted, has not sought the CO.
operation of any European government
in connection with its foreign affairs,
nor does it need or desire the co-opera-
tion of any of them in conducting these
affairs. 1t is surer Of satisfactory re-
suits without the cooperation of any
European government and when acting
with entire independence of all Of them,
because it avoids the jealousies between
those governments and occupies posi-

tion from all that desire to cultivate

WHAT AXE 1HEY DRIVING ATT


When the confidential call for the
meeting that organized the Patriotic
league was issued it was given out that
Its main object was to harmonize the
party. For the most part the men in
vited were disgruntled ward politicians
who were to be placated into giving
active and cordial support to the ticket.
Had this purpose been carried out it
would have commended itself to repub-
licans of all shades and factions. But
the sequel disclosed the fact that the
league was organized under false pre-
closing the ranks, the waving of flags
and the flamboyant demonstrations of
patriotism were in reality mere cloak
to cover the treacherous designs of the
leaguers to knife and defeat the ticket.
Now that this cold-blooded plot has
been carried out to the qualification of
the common enemy and the satisfaction
of the malcOntents, what excuse is there
for continuing the head league?
What are John l.. Webster and his pa
triots with dirks in their bootlegs driv-
ing at anyhow? Are they hiring halls
and contributing money to build
up the republican party or to tear
it down? Haven't John H. Web
ster and his patriots done mis-
chief enough in helping the popo-
Gratis to the most important offices
in the county? Have they not
sown enough dissension and bitter feel
ing within the party to make it well
nigh impossible to elect any republican
to any office in this city or county for
years to come?
There is a republican club in every
ward of the city. If they want to build
up the party why don't they swell the
ranks of the clubs and inspire patriot
ism and enthusiasm instead of infusing
discomfort and fomenting discord by in
weighing loyal republicans into club
in which treachery to the party is at
high premium?

Too Much Spectacular.


Field Marshal Wolseley, K. p, OF the Brit
ish army, has come out strongly against the

Thirty years ago the Episcopalian
church stood one block north of the
cathedral, but the noisy din of business
caused Il. relocation. The First Meth
odist church stood on the site of the
Omaha National bank, the Lutheran
church was replaced by the Millard
hotel and the Congregational church
stood on Sixteenth street just above
Farnam. The purchase by the govern
ment of the block of ground where
stands the new postotlice building
caused the removal of another church
building. The advent of the railroad
and the jobbing house on lower Harvey
and lower Farnam simply foreshadows

mena's in the residence portion of the

The extent to which stock feeding is
conducted in Nebraska is illustrated by
the report of the corn sold and shipped
out of the state during the year 1898.
Out of the total crop of about
230,OOOOOO bushels only 100000
bushels found their way into the
general market. In other words,
for every bushel thus sold three
were consumed within the state. While
in the matter of corn the state makes a
good showing, the same cannot be said
of wheat. No good reason exists why a
single bushel of wheat should be
shipped out of the state except in the
shape of finished product. or the total
production little over half was milled
in the state and the remainder shipped
out to increase the milling business of
the outside world. OF that made into
-four only about 100000 bushels were
shipped outside of the state, which
would not balance the -four shipped in
from milling centers. Nebraska should
not only feed its corn, but should grind
Its wheat.

relations with all other nations and
this would probably be defeated if we
were to seek the cooperation of any OF
them in conducting our foreign affairs.
All that this government seeks is the
safeguarding of its interests in China

by Independent action than in co-opera-
ton with any European power. Ameri-

A report from the land of the Dakotas

A report from the land of the Dakotas
says the natives predict a mild, open
winter, as is certainly forecasted by the
weather-log up to the present time. The
Indians base their prediction, it is said,
upon the fact that the leaves upon the
trees dried before they fell, the ranch
men base their prediction upon the fact
that corn husks are thin this year,
while the cattlemen predict mild win
ter because their animals have put on

fall their hair grew unusually long.

prove true, for the coal merchants in

CHINESE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The Philippine commission is consid-
ering the question whether Chinese eX-
clusion should be applied to the Philip
pines and there is understood to be n
division of opinion among the members
ON the subject. 1t appears that Ad-
miral Dewey does not favor exclusion.
but it is thought probable that n ma
jority of the commission will recon-
mend it, in which event it will doubt
less receive the approval of the admin
istration.
The question will be determined by
congress and that body will be called
upon to carefully consider it in its bear
ing upon the relations of the United
States with China. The Chinese gov
ernment earnestly protested against the
order of General Otis excluding Chi
nese and he was directed to rescind the
order, with the condition that exclusion
might be renewed If military necessity
required. There is no doubt that when
the matter comes before congress the
Chinese government will make a strong
effort to prevent the application Of our
exclusion laws in the Philippines, fail
ing in which China will be very likely
to show less interest than she otherwise
would in promoting American trade
with the empire.
1t is therefore n very practical ques-
ton, one affecting our future CONNER
cial interests in China and our influence
with the Chinese government. Exclu-
sion of Chinese from the Philippines
cannot be urged on the same grounds
as here, because there is no American
labor in the islands to be protected and
probably never will be.
