commission, just issued, touching the.
tendency Of railroads toward console.
dation. Taking account Of well authen-
ticated statements alone, the commits
sion finds that there were absorbed in.
various ways between July /, 1899.
and Nov. 1900, over $4,000 miles of,
railroad, or more than one-eighth OF.
the entire mileage of the United States.
: In view of this the commissioners say:
When we consider what has actually. been done
what is undoubtedly in contemplation, the entire
feasibility OF these schemes, the great advantage
which would result to the owners Of the proper
ties involved and the fact that step once taken
in that direction is seldom retraced, it becomes
evident that in the immediate future the main
transportat lines Of this country will be thrown
into great groups, controlling their own territory
and not subject, with respect to most Of their
traffic, to serious competition, y ~ 49, e:
This condition is declared to be mot
without it's benefits as the commits
sioners observe: - E. <ss-.:zz. s.
The evils which competition begets will largely
disappear with that competition, and many Of
the worst forms Of discrimination will cease. ow-
Ing to wasteful competition transportation by
rail actually costs more than it ought To elm.
mate that competition will be to work an actual
saving in the cost Of the service and this should
rebound to the benefit of both the carrier and the
shipper - -. s< =
The commission, very pertinently,
does not overlook the liability to abuses
and says: - r. -. !. ~@
It would lie within the power Of two or three
men to say what tax should be imposed upon the
vast traffic moving between east and west, and
both human nature and the lesson Of history show
that unlimited power induces the misuse Of that
power. s- 49, - =
With competition gone, it might be
pertinent to ask, What is there to
check extortion and prevent injustice
to shippers? Consolidation is no doubt
an excellent thing for that eminently
respectable element in society owning
and controlling railroads, but what
about the interests Of the public from
whom the railroads receive their right
to exist? IS IS

The sfnal crop report Of the depart
#n1ent OF griculture, just made public,
presents some interesting figures as to:
solr harvest of 1900, showing that on.
the whole it was an abundant one,
more than fulfilling the moderate hope
held out by the earlier estimates-of the
department E y ..z 49, =.s
The yield of wheat was 522, 229,5O
bushels, which is not so large by 25,-g
O0O, 900 bushels as that Of. the previous
year and is lower by more than $780,
100000 than that of the. phenomenal
year Of 1898. The falling off from the
record of 1899 is more than accounted
for by the loss upon the spring crop
on account Of drought in the north
west, the harvest of winter wheat ex-
ceeding that Of 1899 by more than
53,OOO,OOO bushels and falling below
that Of 1898 by less than 10000, 900.
There has been considerable reduc-
ton in acreage for spring wheat in the
last three years. So far as our export
trade is concerned, the general loss in
quantity is partly made up by higher
prices. - = -.
The corn crop Of 2,1O5, 1O2, SIG bush

estimates, but is the largest since
1896, when the low prices had such a
discouraging effect. The acreage was

In his first message to the Michigan

" believing that the growing use Of
cigarettes is menace to the youth of
Michigan, i call the attention of the
legislature to the evil and-advise the
most stringent legislation possible, in
order. that the sale of cigarettes may
be discouraged, If not prohibited" Sub
sequently in an interview the governor
reasserted his purpose to bring all his
influence to bear to break up the ciga-
rette habit among the youth Of the
state. It is understood that the HOSTILE
ty of the governor to the use Of the
cigarette comes largely from the fact
that bis wife, who has been connected
for years, with the Industrial Home
For Girls at Adrian, has observed that
a large proportion of the girls who are
sent to that institution are habitual
users Of the cigarette and that it is
rare that any of the class Of girls re-
spond to efforts for reformation. Gov
ernor Bliss efforts in this direction are
highly commendab1e, but it has been
the experience Of other states that pro-
hibitive laws have been unable to &C.

guardians Of children would take hold

do so further legislation would appear
