AND YET THEY MAKE MONEY.

1t is interesting to note the condi-
tions upon which the street railway
companies of Berlin do business. By
the terms of the franchises they are
required to give a ten hour day to en-
ployes, to provide waiting rooms prop
erly warmed and lighted and to fix an
uniform fare equivalent to 2.38 Gets for
the entire length of lines, whether with
in Or without the city. The city receives
per cent. of the gross profits plus one
half the net profits over ~ per cent on
the old capital and per cent on the
new, and in 1919 the lines and rolling
stock will become the property of the
city without compensation.
These conditions appear to be pretty
stiff, and yet the company is satisfied,
while the people are not and threaten
to build municipal lines unless there
are other concessions by the cor
poration, the theory being that where
public franchise is given the public
has right to fully participate in the
monetary results. This is in decided
contrast with out American methods
and practices, and yet it is perfectly
tenable proposition, and some of these
days American cities will put a sum-
mary stop to the granting of immense
ly valuable rights to corporations
without quid pro quo.

his ability to settle up. Possibly he is

THE HUSTLE FOR PLUMs.


"A Washington telegram conveys the
interesting information that there is a
strong delegation of West Virginia pol
iticians at the capital, bothering the
President in time of distress about the
Federal Judgeship for the Second dis
trict of this State. The coterie consists
of Messrs. E. M. Showalter, of Fair
mont, and Elliott Northcott, ID. E.
Hughes, F. Oh. Tyree and Taylor Vim
son, Of Huntington. The delegation
appears to be something of an unit for
the appointment of Mr.. Vinson, al
though the latter modestly explains
that they are only Logging for the best
man. The party has held a confer
ence with Senator Elkins and will prob
ably move upon the President in a day
or two, If they did not do so yesterday.
The same source of information says it
has been practically settled that ex-
Governor Atkinson will be the district
attorney for the new tribunal, with
John X. Tompson as marshal, while c..
ID. Elliott will be the marshal for what
is now termed the Northern district.
Senator Scott is said to radically dis
agree as to the appointment of a judge
from Senator Elkins, and is backing
B. F. Kellar, of Welch, with all his
abilities. The fight, very pretty one
as it stands, is by no means settled, and
there may be a compromise on a dark
horse.

Guard.
Special to the Register.
PARKERSBJJRG, w. Va, June To-
The visit Of Governor White, who left
to-day for Buffalo, has created some
talk as to the successor to Brigadier
General Curtin, of the National Guard,
whose resignation has gone to the Gov
ernor. While Col Clarence L. Smith,
OF Fairmont, is spoken of by some, it
is probable that the next Brigadier
General will be the former one, who
was removed by Governor Atkinson,
because he enlisted in the United States
army in the war with Spain, B. D..
Spilman, of this city. He is the al
most unanimous choice of the National
Guard officers and is a personal friend
of Governor Whites. He will stand a
good show of getting the place if he
wishes it.

ANOTHER CASE IN POINT.

Congressman John Dalzell, of Penn
sylvania, generally and accurately set
down as the representative of the iron
and steel Industries Of the keystone
State, is also opposed to any change in
the tariff, and, as is usual also, bases
his opposition upon the resulting in
jury to the dear wOrkingman.
The solicitude of these politicians and
big manufacturers for the laborer and
artisan is something touching. They
contend with eloquence and persistence
that tariff reform would have no effect
upon the trusts, but that it would in
evitably lead to lowering of the wage
scale, and that grieves their Utmost
souls and they unite in chorus of pro-
test loud enough to jar the very vault
of heaven. Mr.. Dalzell says:
"It will be easy enough to
prove that a decrease of duties
means lower wages for the working
man, and this being the case l cannot
believe that Republican Congress will
deliberately deprive the workingman
of portion of his earnings. 1t will al
so be easy to prove that the abolition Of
tariff duties is not the way to strike at
trusts. According to nv doctrine the
tariff has nothing to do with trusts,
but even taking Mr.. Babcock's plan at
his own estimation l cannot see how
he hurts the trusts. From my point of
view he will play into their hands.
The great steel trust cares nothing for
the tariff, but if the tariff is abolished
all the small competitors of the trust
will go to the wall, because they cannot
subsist if the tariff is removed. 1
could give instances of my personal
knowledge where large combinations
of manufacturers have asked that tar
ifs be not increased, because such ac-
ton would result in the establishment
Of additional factories, and thus de-
crease their own sales and profits.
When 1t is shown therefore that lower
duties means lower wages, and also the
shutting down of small manufactures,
I cannot see how Mr.. Babcock's plan
will find any following whatever"
Now, as the amateur fisherman said
when he pulled out his first six-ounce
trout, what do you think of that"
Tariff reduction wouldn't hurt the
trusts; on the contrary it might benefit
them; but the workingman would suf-
fer, and hence all the big millionaires
and trust officiels and their representa-
tives and creatures, in and out of Con-
gress, hold up their hands in holy hor-
ror and cry aloud in protest that the
tariff must be let alone. It's grotues-
que and contemptuous and silly game
these trust people are playing and de-
ceives no one of intelligence.

LANDMARK DESTROYED.
The Ancient Catholic Church at La
POinte. Madeline Island, Burned.

BAYFIELD,, Wis, June 10.-The old
Catholic church at La Pointe, Made
line island, was totally destroyed by
fire this morning. The church was an
ancient landmark and had been visited
by hundreds of tourists annually. The
original church was built in 1885 by
Father Baraga and rebuilt at a later
date.
1t contained an ancient painting "The
Descent from the Cross" which Indian
tradition says was gift to the La
Pointe mission in 1869 by Father Mar
quette. 1t is the opinion of some that
the picture was stolen and the church
set on fire to cover up the loss.
