OVERLAND STOCK WIRE.
Supposed Rental to One Chicago
House Is S54.0O0-Cnble Arbi-
tragc business.

A large Chinese grain and stock
brokerage firm has leased private
telegraph wire from Chicago to San
Francisco, says the Inter Ocean. The
firm already had a private wire from
this city to New York, so that it now
controls for its own exclusive use
wire service of 1900 miles from ocean
TO ocean. Some idea of the profits
that such firm must obtain by
means of their private-wire service
may be gained by the fact that the
1,O0O-mile section of wire from this
city to New York costs $4,000 annu-
ally, which would indicate total for
the entire 1900 miles of about $54 900.
Another form of wire service that
yields large revenue to the ocean cable
companies is that which is associated
with the arbitrage trading, based
upon simultaneous varying quotations
for the same stocks in this city and
New York and London. The average
time for the round trip, or for an ar
bitrage order to London and the an
swer telling of its execution in the
market there, is between four and one
half and five minutes. There have
been messages sent under exceptional
conditions in the record time of three
and one-half minutes.

Like a reed, at the touch of my rod,
And the Kingdoms of Time shall awaken
To the voice of the summons of God;
No more through the dim of the ages
Shall the warnings and chidings divine,
From the lips of my prophets and sages
Be trampled like pearls before swine.
Ye have stolen my land and my cattle,
Ie have kept back from labor its need;
Ye have challenged the outcasts to battle,
When they plead at your feet in their need;
And when clamors of hunger grew louder,
And the multiudes prayed to be fed
ie have answered, with prisons or powder
The cries of your brothers for bread.

And the mockings of seepl and domes,

OF the naked, the hungry and cold,
And dearer to me are their losses
Than your gains and your idols of gold.

With the bolts that must leap from the sky
The thrones of your kings shall be shattered

A Philadelphia physician has gained
notoriety by proposing to cure disease
by starving the patient. The only thing
new about the proposition is its honesty
In moments of candor the average doctor
will confess that overeating is, in seven
cases out of ten, the cause of physical
ailments. That is why he usually pre-
scribes some simple and harmless medi-
cine and course of diet The patient
believes the medicine to be the cause of
his Improvement, while the doctor knows
that the improvement is merely the re-
suit of the rest given the digestive organs.
Intemperance in food is as prolific a
cause of physical and mental misery as
is intemperance in drink Being more
common it is less noticed.

FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1900.

THEORY The Republican news
AND papers have a peculiar
PRACTICE. way of estimating pros
perity by comparing bank deposits Fol
instance the New York Press says Mon
tana has protited by the Mckinley
regime for the reason that the average
national bank deposit in this state has
increased from 1868 in 1893 to SIP in
1899. AS matter of fact Montana has
always been prosperous, but bank de-
posits do not prove anything. A special
beneficiary under the Mckinley tariff
law may be unusually prosperous and
double or quadruple his bank account,
but it doesn't follow that the balance of
the community have been equally well
favored, even though the special benetc-
iaries' operations have raised the average
bank deposit several hundred dollars.
He may cheerfully acquiesce in the re-
publican statistician taking his bank ac-
count for the purpose of manufacturing
political statistics, but he would enter a
mighty protest if his bank account were
actually used to bring the other accounts
up to general level, or average" This
is what the Press does on paper and
what it charges socialists with wanting
to do in fact. On paper it serves to mis-
lead thoughtlcss voters which is the
purpose of the Press, but as a matter of
actual practice it would affect tho Press
as water affects Il canine afflicted with
rabies. The average" wealth of the
people of the United States is very high
on paper but it is attained by dumping
the wealth of several thousand million
aires and multi millionaircs into the gen
eral pile and according each individual
an equal share. This is a favorite
method of republican newspapers for
showing how prosperous the country is,
but the actual effect of the whole policy
of the republican party is to take two
thousand dollars from thousand people
and give it to two people.

they would accept the same rate. As a
result every important road in the United
States was soon engaged in hauling
heroes and military stores according to
the tariff schedule of Circular No. 26.
After while some of the lines lost
their patriotism and attempted to restore
the old rates. Then Comptroller of the
Treasury r. j. Tracewell came to the
rescue, and in several learned decisions,
written for him by clerks who knew more
or less about the subject than he did,
set forth that the government has rights
which even a railway company is bound
to respect" and that inasmuch as these
rates were protfered and accepted even
though it was during the stress and ex-
element of war, the government should
not suffer by reason of the ebbing en-
thusiasm of the corporations involved.
On Jan. l, 1899, the companies agreed
they had made all the sacrifices neces-
sary for their country and the old tariffs
were restored.
Now comes the court of claims and
decides that the government failed to
officially and formally accept the provis-
long of Circular No. 26, and that in the
absence of any such action on the part
of the government no contract was en-
tered into between it and the railroad
