An Era of Consolidation.

The new century has opened with tn
greatest consolidation OF rail
road and steamship lines eve
seen and Wall street is inclined tc
believe that the end is not yet The cuj
miuation OF the deal was announced Sat
urday when J. Pierport Morgan, the
New York banker. announced that he
had bought the Jersey Central road and
had Immediately soldto the Philadelphia
& Reading system, OF which he is trustee.
Incidentally it might be mentioned that
this gives Mr. Morgan the absolute con
troll of the anthracite coal business OF
the country, but the consolidation we
refer ed o embraces oceans and a con
tinent besides. John D. Rockefeller the
Standard Oil magnate, J. j. Hill, the
president OF the Great Northern road,
and Mir. Morgan have pooled their in
teresls and now control the American
line from England to New York, the Red
Star line from Holland to New York, the
two coal carrying roads above mention
ed two lines from New York to Chicago,
the Baltimore & Ohio and the Erie, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul, with its
5000 or more miles of road and two
transcontinental lines, the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific. In add.
ton to this Mr.. Hill owns a steamship
line from Tacoma to Japan and China
and is now having built at New London,
Conn, he two largest steamers in the
world OF 18 600 tons capacity each.
These three millionaire s and their aSso.
ciates now control property to the value
OF ten lhousand million dollars and have
in Their employ 10000 men, The Ger
man and English steamship lines have
now q rival combination which can
carry freight from Europe to the Orient
under the American flag and practically
under enc great system. No such consol
idation was ever drea med OF in the last
century and the nearest approach to
such lor 6 distance service is the Canadi.
an Pacific line which runs from the At.
lantic seabu ard to Japan. Many believe
that the Vanderbilts will soon pool their
interests and secure a transcontir entail
line fom New York to San Francisco,
and all sorts ofrnmors are ahoat as to the
future OF the Union Pacific, the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy and other western
roads. Such gigantic union of what
have been rival interests almost takes
ones breath away, but it is satisfactory
to think that it means such an era OF pros
perity for the United States which has
perhaps never been stem before and
which ought to last long into the TWEEN
tieth century.

A Twentieth Century Colony

With the opening OF the new century
the various colonies in Australia teder-
ated under the title The Australian
Commonwealth" and England now has
under her flag united continent. The
nation is a growth OF the last century
and is today, with its four millions of
people, the richest nation in the world.
In size it is almost as large as the domin-
ion of Canada, but it exported to the
mother country in 1900 goods to the
value of $500, 900, 900, which is by far
the largest export trade to England Of
any of The other colonies. Besides vast
agricultural resources the new common
wealth has an almost inexhaustible min
eral wealth and manufacturing enter
prises Of no small proportion. A writer
in the January North American Review
says that 1.-THE Australian people are
more enthusiastic Britons than the peo-
pie who have never left the ancestral
home of the race" which would clearly
indicate that there is no thought OF their
becoming an independent nation. Their
loyalty to England is further attested by
their contribution to the South African
war. They furnished three times a,
many soldiers as Canada, and this with

ST ad (Rep) of Pennsylvania offered
resolution rccting the committee on
census to investigate and report on the
action of Mississippi, Louisiana and
North Carolina in the matter of restrict
ing the right of suffrage for other reasons
than for participation in rebellion or a
punishment for crime. These are the
states in which action has been taken
which deprlves negroes of the right to
vote. The resolution states that the
denial Of suffrage in each of these states
amounts to one half OF those who, prior
thereto, were entitled to vote, as
appears from the following statistics,
published in the congressional directories
OF the Fitty-second and Fifry-sixth con-
crosses, VIZ: In the seven districts OF
Mississippi the total vote cast for all
congressional candidates in 1890 was
62,652; in 1898. 81 ,045. In the seven
districts OF South Carolina the total vote
in 1890 was 70 ,522 and % 1871 in 1898 ;

GREAT DANGER IN HUSBANDS.

Inasmuch as Americas is about to be
engulfed by a matrimonial wave the
discussion of the modern college girl
and her prospects in life is interesting,
particularly when the plea is advanced
by some that the girl who takes a hus-
band accepts a serious handicap in her
effort to achieve her ambitions.
One opinion, the Savannah Press de-
clares, holds that girl cannot divide
her time between her life work and her
husband
Another, the learned Press asserts,
s'holds that women who succeed in a
conspicuous way are almost always
husbandless. A third suggests that a
young woman should never marry I'M
less she is certain that her husband
will not be detriment to her pro-
spects. The weight of opinion seems
to be on the side that the husband, con-
sidered as factor in society, is dele

''The question, "What shall be done
with our husbands?" however, is a
problem of actual conditions and,

alone. The human obstacles form a
numerous class.
"Many of them are orderlyssand alb

influences. In perhaps majority of
households it is still considered desira-
BILE to have one about. Treated kindly,
but firmly, they often become gentle

they sometimes get in the way, il

the subject further study before pass

In Wall street circles, says the Saw
AMMAN News, the impression is strong
that the war between the great rail
road systems is not yet over. On one
side are Morgan, the Vanderbilts, who
control the New York Central and its
connections, the Pennsylvania Railroad
and J. J. Hill, who controls the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads. On the other side are the
Gould interests and the Rockefellers
and group of other fnanciers and
mlllionaires. The point at issue is
whether the Gould group of railroads
shall have and outlet on the Atlantic
8 eaboard. 1t is against the interests of
the New York Central and PennsyI-
vania railroads that they shall, and
every means will be adopted, 1T is said,
to prevent them from getting such an
Outlet. If an amieable adjustment can
not be reached resort will be had to
the buying of certain roads. In that
event there may be seen az lively a
market for the shares of certain rail
roads rs there was recently when
Northern Pacific sold as high as 81, 0OC
per share.

The appreciation of rural free deliv-

is well demonstrated in the increased
