steps to Bolster Up Concern
whose Monopoly Is sThreatencd.
A plan has at last been adopted
for the reorganization of the Uni
ted States Flour Milling Company,
commonly called the Flour Trust.
A new company, with an issue of
$23, 100000 of securities, to be
called the Standard Flour Compa-
ny, will be created under the laws
of New Jersey, 1t will take in the
score or more of mills now under
the control of the trust and will
buy outright the property of the
Northwestern Consolidated Milling
Company of Minneapolis. This is
the largest mill in the country.
The scheme contemplates the
conversion of the old securities in
to securities of the new company
and for the raising of working cap
ital by assessments on the stocks
and bonds. The amount to be
raised in this manner will be about

BETRAYED.

Under the new treaty with Great
Britain the United States are to be
allowed to construct and control
the Isthmian canal. Other nations,
however, are to have the same
rights to it's use, in times of both
war and peace.
This is typical British conces-
sion. The shadowy Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty is to be abrogated and a
very substantial agreement is to be
put in its place, whereby this,
country is to assume all the ex-
pense and run all the risks con-
nected with the building of the
canal, and when it is finished, and
we should get into a.war with Eng
land, the ships of the latter are TO
be allowed to pass through it on an
equality with our own. This means
that the canal will prove source
of weakness to us instead of a
strong weapon.
If the canal it to be absolutely
neutral, and with no Notifications
at either end, then it's construction
will benefit the country with the
strongest navy moro than it will
any other. AS Great Britain is the
stronger, she will be able to send
more warships from one ocean to
the other than we. 1t will be of
the greatest assistance to hor in the
of her fleet.
There is, of course, very pow
erful lobby in Washington shout
ing approval of this new treaty be-
cause there are millions in it for
promoters and contractors. 1t re-
quires a two thirds vote of the Sen
ate, however, to ratify it, and there
should be no danger whatever of it's
getting this number. Its provis-
ions contain an abjeot surrender to
Great Britain. They put us in the
position of accepting the job of
at our own cost a canal
for the special benefit of the one
whose preponderance at
sea we aim to diminish by means
of it.-New York Daily News.

Reflections ora Bachelor.

Babies would be lot more use
to man if you could pawn them.
Men are more fortunate than
women. When woman has
double chin, she can never hide
it with whiskers.
When a man has been out the
night before, the only thing he has
any appetite for at breakfast is
what they haven't got.
Probably the people who had
borrowed all of Noah's umbrellas
went around for the first few days
thinking the joke was on him.
If every woman was really as
nice to her husband as she thinks
she is, after she died no other wo-
man would ever be able to live with
him.
