DISCOUNTED STOCKHOLDERS
Proposed Consolidation Does Not En-
tirely Meet With Favor, Says
News Bureau


The Boston News Bureau says: With
Amalgamated selling around 120 per
share, Boston & Montana at 440 and
Butte & Boston at ia, it would seem
that the stock market affords ready
remedy for disgruntled stockholders who
do not care to figure as partners with
the Standard Oil people. ~
Under the terms of the first circular
issued by Messrs. Kidder. Peabody &
Co., Boston & Montana shareholders
were given the option Of exchanging
their shares for Amalgamated stock or
to sell the same to these agents on q
basis of 1915 per share. Butte share
holders were given the option of ex-
changing their holdings for Amalgam-
ated stock or of selling at $92.60 Ter
share. Furthermore, the privilege was
reserved to stockholders to withdraw a.
together and retin their holdings in their
original form.
Since the date of that announcement
the prices of all these issues have T.
HANGED in market value and there ls
been no wild scramble on the part OF
either Montana or Butte shareholders
to get out Of their holdings. The ol(1y
question that Boston & Montana and
| Butte & Boston stockholders have 70

partners in this enterprise or not. D..

THE Law OF CoRNERS

The HeXibility of the common law. In
adapting itself to new conditions that are
continually arising, was exempli6ed in the
court of Judge Gildersleeve, of New
York last Thursday, when that worthy
issued a temporary restraining order to
prevent any further squeezing Of the
shorts in the Northern Pac2hc corner
Whether this injunctional order had anv
influence on the temporary adjustment
that was at once consummated. we will
never know, but it did orea the wav for
legal interference in certain speculative
conspiracies which no doubt will be fol-
lowed out IN the future.
There is a principle of common law
dating back to time before the dav o.
Blackstone, that whenever one party to
contract, by his own acts makes the,
fulillment of that contract an impossible
ity, the contract is null and
void To illustrate: If agrees
TO build for B a house of certa N
kind of material and B proceeds to buy
up and hold all of the named material
available for that purpose, the contractor
is absolved from his obligation and his
bond given for the performance of the
contract will not be forfeited.
This principle applied to the creation Of
corners in the speculative market would
play havoc with the Letters and the Phil
lipses in their attempts to control the
grain market. and wiring millions from
those who are unable to fulfill their con
tracts by reason of the acts of the prom
isee
There seems no question, that in
carefully engineered corner this fact
could be brought home to the manipuIa-
tor and the courts would be obliged to
hold that he had by his own acts rem
dered it impossible for the promisor to
carry out his contract. In the
late Northern Pacific corner 1t
is doubtful if this principle would
apply The prime object there was not
to squeeze the shorts and make them

POLITICS OF THE STATE.

Two gentlemen were discussing Mime
sofa politics up at the capitol building
yesterday. One was Republican, the
other was not. The Republican is
member Of Duluths delegation. In the
course of the interview he was asked
wnom the Republicans would nominate
for governor in 1902.
Why. Van SAINT, of course" was the
quick response
But do you think Gov. Van SAINT can
be elected in an off year, when he only
pulled through with 1000 votes to spare
IN presidential year? You know Nc
Kmley's majority was 1900, now how can
you figure out, say the same two men
run again. Gov. Van SAINT can be elected
with Mckinley off the tickets"
The Duluthian admitted he didn't ex-
actly know how the thing would come
about, but he felt sure it would He
was reminded that If one Tom Lucas
had not been on the ticket even McKin-
ley's strength would have been unavail-
ing in electing Gov. Van SAINT
This furnished him with the cue and
he remarked: Yes, and do you know
that we'll get old Tom to go on the
ticket again next time. Mark my word, .
he added. well fix up another one of
those Tom Lucas games"

rather than fight If the-demands have

THE ALBANY STREET. CAR STRIKE.


Albany is in the midst of a street car
strike, or, to be more precise. it has
enc in it's midst. notwithstanding their
experience in Cleveland, Detroit and ST.
Louis, the union ordered strike, and i'm
mediately adopted violent measures to
carry its point.
AS was stated few days ago in the
G o b e. in all strikes involving quasi
public corporations, there are three par
ties concerned, the strikers, the en-
ployes and the public, and the greatest
of these three is the public. The DIFF
ferences between the unions and the en-
the question Of a rise of few cents
in wages: it may involve a principle, like
the recognition of a union or the dis
missal of man or two. AS a general
thing, all such difficulties can be adjusted
by the use of ordinary diplomacy and
good sense. But, owing to arrogance on
one side and stubbornness on the ether,
a strike is ordered to settle the dispute,
to blame in any way is made to suffer.
This third party is the general public,
which depends upon the service of the
street railways to do it's business When
the strikers interfere with the public
service of the transportation lines, and
by the exercise of physical force render
travelling dangerous or impossible they
become public enemies and are no longer
entitled to the aid and sympathy of pub
lie opinion.
When will strikers learn that they
have no legal or moral right to destroy
property or to place life or limb in
jeopardy that they may compel hated
corporation to accede to their demands?
Their right to quit work when they please
no one denies-it is a part of our consti-
tutional guarantee; their right to per-
suade others to quit work by peaceful
means, while not so clear is generally
conceded. But the time we hope will
never come when the right to use phys
ical force to accomplish their ends will
be granted them. Should such a tine
come it will mean anarchy and an end
of all social government.
There has been growing lately, a
tendency among both employers and en-
ployes to avoid open ruptures by mutual
concessions. And we believe that ninety
nine cases out a hundred, where there is
an actual grievance the difference can
be settled on equitable principles If both
parties desire to be fair.
Labor has as much right to organize as
has capital but when the strength ac-
quired by organization is used against
the public good then that organization
becomes inimical to public policy and de-
serves to feel the heavy hand of the law
Members of unions are butt human he
ings, subject to the same passions that
are common to ordinary integers of the
genus homo. Success makes them AFRO.
CANT and boastful; they are apt to be I'm,
reasonable at times. On the other hand

THE. SHADOW OF DEATH.

Affair." from home, but surrounded by
friends, lowering between life and death,
lies the patient, the gentle the loving
wife Of the president. From the anticipat-
ed festivities attending a triumphal re-
ception by the warm-hearted people Of
the far West, the head of the nation
turns to watch by the bedside of her, who
has during a long and successful life
shared his ambitions, his joys, his re-
verses and his triumphs. The national
heart throbs with sympathy as the pres
ident watches through the weary hours
hoping for the best, but waiting waiting
beneath the sable wing of the angel of
death.
Endowed with a charming grace of
character. Mrs Mckinley has crept into
the heart of hearts Of the people. No
more beautiful picture of domestic felic-
ity has ever been presented than that

years Mrs. Mckinley has been the OBJ

the part of her noble husband We say
noble, for in every phase of social and
private life, the president has shown that
he is made of the rare material Of which
knights are constructed. No matter how
we may differ from him In his political
policies; no matter how much we may
condemn his political acts, we must all
bow to the sterling domestic and personal
qualities of Mckinley, the man. That
Mrs. Mckinley was able to secure and
retain the ardent affection and complete
devotion of such a man, is a magnificent
tribute to her worth and sweetness of
soul. In the union of these two is seen

sweet-faced woman, President Mckinley
