COILS P. HUNTINGTON.

There is no one of greater prom,
inence in financial circles than Coils
P. Huntington, president and princi
pal stakeholder of the Southern Paci-
fc railroad. He has had much to dc
with the development of the Pacific
coast, and is always a leader in move
ments for the benefit of that section
He will no doubt be very prominent
in the work of pushing the Mica
raguan canal. He was born at Har-
winton, Conn, October %, 1921.
When IA years of age he went to
work for 81 per month and board.
At the end of year he had saved
$64, and he told a friend that he
hadn't saved more because he didn't
get more. Two years later he had a
capital of $175. He inherited Con-
necticut farm from his father, and
traded it for lot Of clocks which he
peddled through New England, He
was not very successful, land turned his
attention to California gold diggings.
He left in 1648 with a stock of goods
which he shipped around the Horn,
going himself by way Of Panama,
where he was detained six months.
He bought and sold there, and when
he reached California had 5000 more
than he left home with. His present
wealth is estimated at from forty mil
lions to seventy-five millions.

EVEN the trusts have started a
press bureau and have begun to send
gaaatter to the country press palliative
OF these great and unrighteous com
Carnations. They deprecate the pop
galar prejudice which has been stirred
up "for political purposes" as they
say. But the arguments of the
trusts are transparent and nobody
will be fooled by them. If the trusts
had been content to use their
methods Of concentration for the
purposes of reducing the cost of pro
<3uction, and then have reduced
prices, there would have been no
great outcry against them. It is the
greed not the greatness of trusts
shat we condemn.

The Terrors of q Real s1izzrrd.

A great deal has been said and writ
ten about those binding storms that
sometimes sweep with reSlstless fury
the western prairies, but without the
experience no one, however vivid his
imagination, can fully picture to him
self such a storm, much less realize all
that blizzard means
The penetrating wind, roaring and
bowling, shifting quickly from one
point to another, whirls the sharp par
ticles of snow into the travellers eyes
and nostrils, binding and smothering.
1t often obscures in few moments
every vestige of track, rendering trav-
ell difficult and dangerous.
The wolves and foxes that roam the
prairies, if far away from scrub or
timber when a blizzard bursts upon
them, burrow at once into the drifts
and there abide till the storm is over.
The grouse, or prairie chicken, flying
swiftly, presses it's wings to it's sides
and plunges head first into the snow
and there is perfectly safe.
The Indian of the plains if caught
away from his tepee (tent) scrapes
away the snow with his foot and
wraps his blanket closely about him,
creeps into the hole he has made and
is quickly drifted over.
But the white man caught out on
the prairie often becomes utterly be-
wildered, wanders around until com
pletely exhausted, sinks down and per-
ishes with the cold.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1900-03-24

It follows that on venus the rorce OF
does not greatly differ from that on
the earth. If we could step upon We
nus we should find that we had part
ed with few pounds OF weight, but
the difference would not be very no
ticeable, except perhaps on the race
track.
But this planet, SO like the earth in
many respects, is very different from
our globe in it's situation. The earth's
distance from the sun is 93,G00,000
miles; the distance of Venus from the
sun is 67,0e0,000 miles. This differ
ence becomes matter Of great I'M
portance when we consider the effects
which the sun produces upon the two
planets. Heat and light, as everybody
knows, vary intensely as the square
Of the distance. When we compare
the square of the earths distance
from the sun with the square of We
nus distance, we find that the former
is about double the latter. This means
that Venus, on the average, gets twice
as much heat and light from the sun
as the earth gets.
But, on the other hand, we know
that all forms of life depend for their
existence upon the radiant energy Of
the sun. On the earth, when we pass
from the arctic regions toward the
equator, we find the number of living
forms and the variety and intensity
of the manifestations of life continual
ly increasing, until in the equatorial
zone, earth, sea and air are all crowd
ed with animate and growing things
The touch of the sun everywhere pro-
duces life, and in the absence of sun
light is death. 1t is but natural to in
fer that Venus, having twice as much
sunshine as the earth, should be pro-
portionately more crowded with ami
NAL and vegetable inhabitants, and
that the intensity OF life there should
be correspondingly greater. Some
biologists have thought that there was
time when the climate of the earth
was so hot that tropical plants and
beasts lived abundantly around the
poles. A similar condition of things
might be supposed now to prevail up
on Venus.-Harper's Round Table.

is now in the hands of the trusts,
which regulate the supply and con-
troll the price. 1t is useless to look to
the Democrats for any relief even
should they be successful at the polls
for the Democratic party has long
since demonstrated it's inability to
cope with any living issue or provide
a remedy for any existing evil. The
success of the Republican party in

ured dy the honesty and earnestness
with which it commits itself to the

PLANTATION:
Congressman Eddy justifes his
vote on the Puerto Rican tariff bill
about as follows: He voted for the
bill because the president asked him
to do so. Packed eggs, s cents.)
Because Webster opposed Calhoun
on the same proposition. (Old eggs,
10 cents.) By abuse of the demo
Gratis and populists. (Fresh eggs, II

We MOST heartily endorse the
spirit which has been displayed by
&he friends of both Mr.. Eddy and Mr.
Valentine and by those gentlemen
themselves in their present contest
Cor the Republican nomination for
congressman. Mr.. Valentine has
from the fist announced a clean
campaign on the clean cut issue of
6he Porto Rican tariff. Mr.. Eddy
has also announced in straightfor-
yard manner that he believes he was
and is right on his stand for a Porto
Rican tariff. Both gentlemen stand
ready to abide the decision of the
convention and will both support the
rone that is nominated. The same
sentiment prevails among the friends
q, esf the two candidates here and else
where. The TR1RUNE for one has
only admiration for Mr.. Eddy's past
record but for the present feels that
his denomination would be unwise.

The platform which was adopted
nv the Democrats of Nebraska this
week reflects what may be expected
dn general to be the platform on
which the national campaign will be
fought next fall. The platform re-
.af1irms the Chicago platform, after
the most important provisions are an
anti-Dingley law plank, an antitrust
plank, an anti-expansion plank, an
anti-gold standard plank, and an
antl-Porto Rican tariff plank. There
is nothing in the platform but the
negative provisions regarding Porto
Rico and the Philippines which was
mot ia the platform of 1896. On these
questions the Republican party will
express the true will of the people
On the old questions the Democrats
stood where they did in 1896 while
the Republican band wagon has
anoved along the way of progress and
according to the traditions of the
Earty is taking new positions on
questions which now confront us.

MYSTERIES OF VENUS.

Little Known Abont the Beautiful Planet
which Comes Near the Earth.
The most beautiful planet, and one
that comes nearest to the earth and
most resembles the earth in size, is at
the same time the most mysterious. Is
Venus living world or a dead one?
That is to say, is it in a condition TO
support inhabitants, and is it probable
that such inhabitants are there, or, on
the other hand, is it unsuited for their
presence and barren Of living forms?
These questions astronomers at pres
ent are unable to answer, but their
efforts to answer them and the obser-
vauons that they have made OF the
mysterious planet possess an almost
startling interest.
First let us briefly recall what Venus
is. 1t is globe like our earth and OF
very nearly the same magnitude, hav-
ing a diameter of about 100 miles,
while that of the earth is little more
than 1900 miles. So nearly of the
same size are the two planets That II
we could view them from an equal dis
lance we should be unable, without
the aid of instruments of measurement,
to detect any difference between them.
The substance of Venus is slightly
lighter, bulk for bulk, than that which
composes the earth, but the difference
in this respect is SO little that again
it would require special examination
to distinguish oy weight between a
cubic foot of the soil of Venus and an
equal amount of the soil Of the earth.

in body and then return home and
make fight for denomination, in
order to get an Endorsement of their
