EX-Jnitru States Senator William D.
Washburn Of Minnesota talked on the
subject Of trusts recently To Il New
York Iribune reporter. In the course
of his remarks he said:
"Nhcn VAS Il young mani am
now GS-l had the world before me,
and there was an absolute fair field for
me. Take all Of our most successful
business me- of today, and their cx
pcrl"nces were like mine. They enter
ed the race without a handicap, and
their grit and capacity won. Now
this building up of trusts puts a stop
to fair and equal opportunities for the
young men Of today. The young man
Just out of college has no opening, as
a rule. He cannot begin business on
his own account against organized cap
ltal. He must join the procession. He
must content himself with being a
mere clerk, and the chances are that
he will never get any further, because
there are so many in his class. This
makes the situation n serious one, and
l am sorry for the young man Of to-
day. lie comes out of school bright,
eager and e~nterprising and runs
against economic conditions that are
toe much for him. | can't help feeling
that if he Lad the same chance | had
when | was Il young man it would be
Il great thing for him. He hasn't got
1t. I've studied the situation, and I'm
sure of what | am saying"

Government Should Own Them.

AIs
From Chicago comes the news that
the Hartman syndicate has practically
completed plans for u transcontinental
railroad system from Chicago to the
north Pacific coast and south to the
gulf of Mexico. This system is to en-
brace seven other vast railroad sys-
tens.
The Vanderbilts are also linking new
~ acquired lines in the west and south.
The Gould system already extends to
the gulf, anu the management Is plan
ming to acquire more roads.
When all these systems are rounded
out, the sequel Is inevitable. They will
combine into one vast pool nine-tenths
of the railroad franchises in this coun-
try and will conduct business practi-
cally under n management.
This will place in the hands of a few
men the power to ruin any business en-
terprise related, however remotely, to
railroad traffic.
Many of these railroad systems al
ready discriminate in favor Of com
binations and will continue to do so
until the government steps In and ac-
quires ownership Of all American rail-
roads.
Such railway discrimination means
ruin to any enterprise dat is discrim.
mated against. 1t means monopoly
lof any enterprise unjustly favored.
With absolute equality in railway
rates no combination or trust could
maintain a monopoly for 4S hours.
Discrimination could not exist with
public ownership of public franchises.
National ownership would enable the
merchant conducting q small business
to ship his produce to market upon
equal terms with any combination Of
capital. however vast.
in Germany. where the government
wis and controls the railways. the
poorest merchant in the empire can
ship his goods from one end Of the
country to the other as cheaply as any
merchant prince.

claws are tc the tiger and what ten

WipinE Ont the Middleman.
The trust Ices not see why it should
divide the profit with q jobber. In
some Instances the wholesaler Is al.
ready ignored, and the sales are made
directly to the retailer. and the trust
gathers in all Of the profit. It no longer
divides with any one and 1t does not
intend to do so for the future. Is the
public benefited by this s%idetrackipg
Of the middlemen? 1t is not, for the
selling prices OF the manufactured ar
tlcles have not been lowered thereby.
It is only the division Of profits which
Is affected. The middleman Is crowd
ed out, and his share of the profits
goes to the comblne.-Denver Post.

Stranger Than Fiction.

The limits of probability have lately
been puzzling London police magis-
trate. The origin Of his perplexity, as
given by the Illustrated London News,
is this:
A young domestic servant tried to
cash one or two forged checks and was
arrested i'll the attempt. She said "a
gentleman" gave them to her-a "Mr.
Gilbert" whose whereabouts nobody
could trace. That story has been told
too often to impressa jury-no juryman
likes to be made a laughing stcck-but
before verdict of guilty could be
given man fell down dead in the
streets. He was recognized as "the gen.
tleman" by the accused woman, and,
sure enough, in his pocket were found
other forged checks similar to those she
had attempted to put into circulation.
Even Mr.. Lane, @. g., may be persuaded
that truth really is stranger than fiction.

One day soon after the Mulberry Bend
park was laid out in the Italian quarter
OF New York the man who had had
more to do with the good work than
any one else was passing there. AS he
strobe happily along thinking of the
tenements that used to stand there, the
fresh, clean earth attracted him and he
walked out upon it. Stamping joyously
about, he eXclaimed
"Fine, fine! They have planted the
seed and soon the green grass will
spring up under the warm sunshine. 1t
is my proudest"-
Just then park policeman who had
slipped up behind him landed two Wig
orous whacks OH the good mans back.
"Git off'n tn grass, ye looney old
crank!" he said "Be off wild ye. quick
now, an don't let me ketch ye round
here ag in or Pllr r1n ye in See? G'wan,
now"
The philanthropist had leaped wildly
to the walk and his fist doubled up
with anger, but a second thought, that
the "sparrow cop'' was right. caused
his hand to relax, and the maker of the
park moved ON. sore but wise as
ever.-New York Times.

general assembly. 1t passed the house
Friday by vote of 81 to 27, and the
senate Saturday by vote of Al to 6. 1t
will be submitted to vote of the people
in August, 1901, at the same time state
officers are voted for. To do this, pro-
perty and poll tax, qualifications are pre-
scribed but this is made ineffective as to
white peope by the further provision that
any person can vote who was entitled to
vote on January !, 1867, or any time

so entitled to vote. Who wouldn't

A SETBACK FOR GOV. LIND.

The legislature Of Minnesota passed a
law placing bounty of so cents per ton
on all pig iron made in Minnesota for
the next ten years, and Gov. Lind vetoed
it. A caucus OF the hour was called the
other day, and by a vote OF "a to q de-
cided to pass the bill over the governors
veto. 1t is found that the reward of la
Dor distributed in that state does not ex-
ceed 81 per ton of iron ore mined, where
as Bessemer pig sells for $40 per ton,
steel rails for $1S, tin plates for So.
Most all of the advance in prices over
the cost of the ore in the ground is paid
to labor, either in the manufacturing or
transporting. Now it is proposed that
much of the cost of transportation shall
be saved to the consumers Of the North
west and the money paid for converting
the ore into useful products shall be dis
tributed in Minnesota, where the lobor-
ers shall be consumers of the products OF
Minnesota farmers.

The Mystery of the Razor.

It is matter of common experience
that razor left for awhile unused be-
comes blunt. A writer in Chambers
Journal says that rust caused by the
moisture in the atmosphere is quite
enough to accou2e fer this Shearers,
for instance, who have to use partic-
ularly sharp instruments, never set
their shears till just before using What
is not SO generally known is that ra-
zor which will not cut will become
sharper sometimes by being left aside
for some time The only explanation Of.
this is that the electrical properties of
the metal in the edge become changed.
A "wire edge" is commonly put on q
tool by amateurs. The steel turns and
folds back on itself 1t is owing to the
edge being made too long and thin, or
the metal being too soft, The only cure
for wire edge is to break off the bent
portion and grind and set again.
"a knife that cuts butter when it is
hot" (anl under no other circumstances)
we sometimes meet with. We have
been going into the reasons of things
and the reason OF this is easily explain
ed. Heat expands metal, and in proper
tion to the amount of metal which is
heated. There is more metal in the
breadth of a blade than in its thickness,
and the former, therefore, is expanded
immensely more than the latter In 9th
er Words the wedgelike shape is length-
ened, and the tool becomes SHARP
