A great l,illion-dollar steel combine
has been effected and the announce
ment of the same has been made.
There is a great outcry against it from
certain sources. but what are the OBJ
iectors going to do We do not ask
this question in any arrogant spirit.
but in 4 spirit of candOr. How was IL
possible TO pre-ent by law such
combine unless except by enactlnS a
law prohibiting any corporation to eA-
fst2 The organization of this great
company was perfectly logical. WAS
busnessliile and was just what was
to be expected Indeed. it was pre-
dicted long ago, and the business world
was quite prepared for 1t when the
announcement of the deal was made
public A number Of large industries
of the same general character We're
operating under separate management
and in competition with each other 1t
was in the power Of any one OF them
10 demoralize the iron business by cut
ting rates or by making more goods
than the trade demanded. So long as
DUSilSSS M lS prosperous ILL hiASt'S
works have orders ahead, things move
along smoothly enough. But the men
engaged in this branch OF business
knew that as soon as 4 period OF dull
ness should come there would be
temptation 10 somebody to begin TO
cut prices and so throw the Whole iron
trade into confusion and demoraliza-
ton. These men naturally asked
themselves the question: Why should
we fight each other? Why not come
TO an understanding with each other
and each work TO the others interest
and to the good of all? In other words.
why have 4 considerable number OF
plants operating under separate man
agement when we can just as We'll
operate in harmony under one man
agement: To ask the question was to
answer it. and as soon as the reDresen-
Iatives of the several establishments
came together in conference and talk
ed 1;le matter over they reached IN
agreement and that's all there is in 1t.
1t was simply an agreement OF peace
instead Of War. Peace means pros
perity and war means destruction.
These men understood that well
enough and so they determined TO have
peace.
For our part we are not alarmed ut,
this big combine. On The contrary. We
believe that twill be 10 the advantage
of the country i'll many ways. For
one thing. il will enable us TO meet
competition abroad and largely 10 in
crease our sales Of iron in foreign
markets Again il will give a stabil-
iiy 10 the iron trade in this country
and incidentally 10 all trades in which
iron enters as Il structural factor. We
do not fear cNorbitant prices. 1t Will
be 10 the interest of this great cor
poration TO make prices as low as 1t
can consistent With 4 fair profit, for in
this way it will increase its business.
and there is more money in large sales
at small profits than in small sales at
large profits But il these trusts should
become arrogant and extortionate be
sure that competition Mil come soon
enough. 1t does not own all the iron
industries in the country, and even if
1t did others would spring up as soon
as there should be Il demand for them.
The United States Steel Corporation
will be on its good behavior and viii
fight competition every day in The
year.

PROSPERITY IN NEBRASKA.

The secretary Of the State Banking
Board of Nebraska makes a most en-
couraging report on the condition Of
Il report, recently made public, that
during the year ending December >,
1900. the deposits in the Nebraska
State banks, exclusive of National
hanks, increased over S4,200,O0O. Tile
secretary says that the figures con-
tanned in the report may be taken as
an unquestionable indication of the
prosperous and superlative dividend
paying condition of the banks Of the
State and of the sound conservative
basis upon which the banking inter-
ests are being conducted" He de-
clares that his department has never
before issued a report showing a more
substantial advance. a year ago,
says he there were 4O5 banks in the
State. To-day there are AS and all
are in good condition and doing a pay
in" business. There have been in
creases in the items of loans and dis
counts, legal reserve, surplus and pro-
fits and deposits, While in notes and
bills rediscounted, and bills payable,
there has been 4 substantial decrease.
The general deposits amount to So
S94, C36.37.'
1t is to be hoped that Editor Bryan
will reproduce in The Commoner this
interesting bit of financial news, with
appropriate comment thereon.

burg Dispatch gives the following pic

every opportunity, but no slx-footer
would have shown more yigor than he
in recounting Il few Philippine expert
ences for the benefit of his hearers A
lady passed and the General bowed
low That prompted the life insur-
ance check signer and his friend to
compliment General Wheeler for his

We lately came across the extraor-
binary Christian names of Suetonius
and Trinidad Orbegoso. the latter fem
mine. There must have been some
special reason for hestowing such
queer names: but. even so. 1t scarcely
seems justitiable to name children in
way that must needs make them I'M
comfortable. particularly in their
school days. The choice of name,
however, is far more difficult than it
seems.
When one hears number OF young
people talking together. all their names
sound pleasing. yet perhaps there is
not one that one would choose for daily
and hourly use. And then when
favorite one has been thought of care
must be taken that it Is one which
sounds we'll in conjunction with the
surname, and also that the initials do
not form an unsuitable word. Charles
Uruuhardt Barnard and Ralph Oliver
Townsend, for instance. are names
which sound very we'll in full. but. to
use the initials would be trying.-Ex-

AN ECCENTRIC DINER.

The Tall story That In Told of n Pa
risian Gourmet. s'
Paris is par excellence the city Of
gourmets and cranks, and many a
story concerning them has added to the
gayety Of the nations. Here is one
of the latest, told by a well known
French head waiter: One of the regu-
Lar customers of a famous Partisan
restaurant used to be short, thin,
shy and shabbily dressed man whose
name no one knew, but who gave out
that he was a butter dealer, for which
reason he was called the butter man at
the restaurant in question. ::
He ate next to nothing, but his soup
tureen, filed with a soup specially pre-
pared for him, was always put before
him. He took few spoonfuls and
had it taken away. Next came a
whole f1llet of beef, from which he
cut the tiniest slice. Then followed
four Quails or large chicken, Of which
he ate one mouthful, together with
two lettuce leaves and Ole radish. His
dessert was four grapes-never sin
gle one more-and cup of coffee A
bottle Of the best claret and another
Of the best champagne were served
with the repast, but; he only wetted
his lips with a drop from them and let
them go. He took two of these meals
day, and the price for each meal was
12O francs.
But this was not all. Every time
the butter man got up from his ex-
traordinary meal he gave 40 francs to
the head waiter, who put his food on
his plate, since the guest did not like
to handle spoons or dishes; 20 francs
to the waiter, 10 francs to the woman
cashier and 5 francs to the porter.
Thus each meal came to 200 francs.
The head waiter of the restaurant Of
ten did slight errands for him, buying
his cigars, etc., and took them to the
Grand hotel, where the butter man
lived. The little old man would then
open the drawer of q wardrobe filed
with heaps Of bank notes Of from 100
/. francs to 600 francs in value and
with an enormous mass Of goldpieces.
"Pay YOURSELF" said the owner, and
the head waiter did so, putting the
bills before his patron, who never
deigned to look at them.
One day the mysterious millionaire
went away and was never seen again.
