Edison has invented a storage
battery that he regards as his
greatest discovery since the electric
light. The advantages claimed
for it are that is far less expensive
than those now used; it is lighter
and more compact; it can he dis
charged to zero voltage, the pres
ent battery can be discharged only
to about the two-ffth point; has
twice the output for the same
weight; virtually does not deterl-
crate; does not require nearly as
much attention as the present bat
terry; will stand rougher usage; can
undergo any amount OF shaking
without affecting the circuit, shak-
ing always cuts short the circuit OF
the old battery. This means a
tremendous extension of the field
of electrical power. Some electri,
cal undertakings have stood still
0aiting for development OF the
storage battery but now there VII
he revival.

An unpublished hymn by Long
fellow has been found in heap of
rubbish. 1t was written in 1895
and will be published some time.
Meantime those who have the
custody of it are guarding it care
fully. They remember that one
time Oliver Wendell Holmes de-
livered one of his graceful poems
at an anniversary, which was "tak-
en-" by an expert shorthand report
xr and printed in his paper next
Vay. DIR. Bolmes wrote letter to
a. publisher, commencing the re-
porter for his enterprise and skill
and said that he had been offered
large price by'a magazine for the
poem but its publication in daily
paper had annlhilated its value to
the magazine. The Lorgfeilow
poem is a valuable asset.

The matter of shaded roads is one
upon which the movements fer
road improvement and for forestry
preservation may work together
The ends of the latter, or at least a
part of them, would certainly be
subserved by the planting of trees
along miles of country roads, II
would adda considerable amount to
the forest area of a state. and
would thus affect the rainfall to
some degree. The added beauty
and comfort of the highway is an
item of no mean importance, and
is worth considering in new
country, while the added expense,
once the system of roadmaking
and mendiug is established, would
be comparatively small

The medicine men have done
much good work in the matter of
enriching the language without
disturbance of thought. For ex-
ample, in their bulletins concern
ing the illustrioUs sick they are
frequently good enough to inform
a solicitous world that mo danger
is apprehended unless serious
symptoms ensue;" or that "the
patient will probably continue to
improve if there be no relapse
assurances for which sympathetic
and curious public can never be
sufficiently thankful. Another of
their customary benefactions to the
fine art of dicton-albeit a most
dispiriting benefaction-is the
grave statement that the patients
death SIS only question of time. "
That, being equally true of us all,
plunges us into a gulf OF dark

Great Britain has stopped buy
ing horses and mules for military
use, in the United States. This
may be because the friends of the
Beers have made strong protests
and have even carried the matter
into courts, or because the con-
tinued buying has raised the price
to almost double what it was two
years ago. AT any rate Boer
sympathizers will be pleased.

Leadville Herald-Democrat.
A Denver newspaper, needless to
state the Post, is about to under
take a crusade against the railroad
trust as applied to Colorado. The
three principal roads have been
consolidated and placed under the
direction of the gigantic pool, back
Iof which is the capital of Morgan,
Gould, Rockefeller, Harriman and
half a dozen others, all of which
combined as they undoubtedly are,
represent about one-twelfth of the
wealth of the United States.
a year or SO ago, probably two
or three months ago, the under
taking of our sprightly contempo-
rary would not have appeared so
remarkable, the power of the press
under the old conditions was
thought to be considerable, but
under the new reign, the undertak-
is quixotic. 1t is shooting at the
chimney top to reach the moon.
The trust problem has gone far and
away from the efforts of a single
newspaper or even state We
fear that the Denver contemporary,
like a great many people, has failed
to recognize the most momentous
revolution that could take place in
economies; its formation and its
becoming so concretely homogen-
eous that it will take the hammer
Of a Cyclops to indent it.
The Colorado portion of the
Railroad trust is but a very small
affair, a spur on the trunk line as
it were. The local companies that
entered the combination had to do
so in self preservation and are not
to blame; they would have been
crushed like egg shells under a
loaded truck had they refused to
be part of the gigantic whole.
There is no single railroad in the
country that could afford to remain
out.
The state constitution makes
provision against the combination
Of railroads; true enough but we
doubt whether the legislature has
given effect to such a provision and
the courts that would be called to
adjudicate know enough law to
maintain that the state constitution
is not self acting; but technicalities
aside, suppose the courts decided
that the railroads had acted illeg-
ally what then?
Would Colorado be better off
without railroads? Is there any
one who would build in opposition
to the great national or internation-
al combine? The esteemed con
temporary is endeavoring to kill
an elephant with a blow pipe.
The time has passed for state
interference and the state that do
es interfere will be called names
and will gain nothing. New Jer-
sey is very prosperous and it votes
right. The president of the Unit
ed States is preparing for a tour Of
the nation to see for himself its
glories and its industries, its well
fed people with not care; Wall
street is making millionaires every
day, multimillionaires every week
and the greatest of them all is too
busy picking out Scotch collies,
Partisan paintings and Continent
al bric-a-brac to be bothered with
triaes; and when he sighs he thinks
only of Alexander. There is a
time for all things and all things
have their season. There are more
interesting puzzles published every
week than the one of how to curb
the trusts. The trusts will very
likely curb themselves.

SOUR GRAPES.

The versatile and lovable relic
of bygone days, who clips poetry
for our learned contemporary, is
evidently much perturbed over the
appointment of this paper as the
official paper for the town. 1t was
not our omission that you failed to
apply for the appointment, sister
dear. You apparently anticipated
the result, having as a criterion the
rebuff you received from the Board
of Trustees last summer. We take
it that the Board was forced to
that decision" also.
The sweet-tempered politician
editress wants to know where the
editor of this paper learned to be
job printer. Certainly not in the
same place where one Smith learn
ed to spell, and not where the said
Smith turned out a letterhead for
a certain saloon man in this city,
copy of which is ON exhibition
in this office. Neither was it where
inverted periods and apostrophes
are used as degree and minute
marks respectively in legal notices,
thereby invalidating the same.
If you desire any more informa-
ton, sister, don't hesitate 10 draw
on our bureau of knowledge. Only
don't ask us the percentage Of
chance for marriage possessed by a
lovely maiden of forty or more
summers. That question might
prove a stickler, as we ere not
familiar with the lower order of
decimals, never having taught
''skewl" at Jacks Cabin.

following from an interview with
Prince Ching: IL think the uniteG
states VIII do wise thing II 1t re-
stores 70 China the district now allot'
ted 10 Il. simultaneously with the with
drawal of its troops. II 1t takes the
initiative In this matter. the other pow
ers will follow the example set by 1t
and the city Of Pekin will then be
placed in the control OF the Chinese
government. Such step, ! think, Is
an urgent necessity for the restoration
Of order In Peldn. / Judge that the
imperial court will not be able TO
return to Pekin before the coming fall
As for the existing relations between
the emperor and empress doWager, |
may sav that even should the de facto
right OF governing the country be re-
stored to his majesty's hands II Is not
likely that he will be able to make use
Of II in carrying out all the schemes
OF reform he may be cherlshing at
heart
Every one here scouts at the idea
that the Chinese government VIII ever
return 10 Pekin II being impossible
to conceive OF its doing so and at the
same time preserving an atom Of SELF
respect. Il Is possible that II Will make
q show Of return to satisfy the pres
ent demand of the allies, but IT VIII be
but pretense and there is nothing III

subsequent change Of capital making

selves but have played directly into the

OUR SAMOAN POSSESSIONS
The Population Of Tuiuila Is 1900, While
That Of Nanua is 1000,

Natives Are Much More Kindly
Than Heretofore,

Washington, June SIN accordance
with instructions from the navy de-
partment Commander Benjamin +. Til
ley, the naval commandant at the Unit
ca States nava station at Tutuila, Sa-
moa, has forwarded to Washington
a report on the population Of those
islands Of the Samoa group UNI
der the jurisdiction Of the Unit
ed States. From the most reliable
authority in the Islands he has ascer-
tanned that the population of Tutuila
totals 1000. and OF the Nanua groups
1000, including adults and children. In
addition TO the native population there
are on the Islands approximately IVo
whites.
Since his last report to the depart
ment Commander 1illey has visited me
Islands of Nanua aboard his station
ship. the Abarenda, and has tound
everything In a most satisfactory con-
dtion. The natives OF these lsianus'
he says, exhibit a much more kindly feel-
ing than ever before. They have voted
tax for the payment Of their officials
and for other expenses OF the govern
ment. II Is paid IN c0pra. The rate
is about 81 per head for every inhabl-
tant This. says the commander Is a
very light tax and is not in the least
burdensome TO the natives. The album
dant copra crop Of the islands is now
being harvested and shipped and Com
mander Tilley is endeavoring TO have
the natives realize fair prices for tt
something very unusual In the past.
Commander Tilley reports everything
In the island OF Tutuila In a very sat

TROUBLE IN SOUTHERN MILLS.
An Investigator Lays 1t to Capital
lists and owners.

New York, June 5--Direct RESPONSE
billty for the trouble with labor exist
ing In southern mills Is charged By an
English woman who has been invesu-
eating the subject for Samuel Gompers
to capitalists and mill owners in New
York and other northern cities, the
woman is Mrs. Irene A. Ashby ana she
recently visited Alabama and other
southern states on q tour OF inVesll ga
ton. In speaking Of her experience be-
fore the Social Reform club she said
II found that in many mills in Ala
bama and Georgia one half OF the oper-
atives were children and In some cases
the percentage ran as low as SIX or
seven. Their wages ranged from to IL
and Of course beyond,
"The mill owners and proDrletors said
In extenuation that they had taken
these people from their little farms
whore they were living In conditions OF
the utmost poverty and brought them
together In communities OF ana made
out Of them an industrial people But
the children | saw living on the little
farms had bright cheeks and round
limbs while those ] saw In the mills
were haggard and wan.
Having seen tntst COHullOHs as ttlty
exist today throughout the South,
went to the capitol Of Alabama and
with others tried to get bills through
the legislature prohibiting the employ
ment Of children in these mills, we
learned that all had been cut and dried
before us. We had the bill introduced.
In answer they put up the manager OF
mill entirely controlled by northern
labor a mill that had moved 3 the
South from the heart OF New Eng and
"There also was before the legislature
a northern man, In rebuttal he spoke
OF the lace curtains In the windows or
his operatives. OF their neat hovs S
but never word OF child labor The
bill was defeated We learned later
that II is the truth that the new South
is depending upon the capital of the
North to bring about the Industrial de-
velopment and boom that has been so
long impending. In defeating the bill
they cried Do nothing that IT going TO
hurt the industrial development OF the
South. The North has said TO the
South, we will bring our capitol, but
you must allow us TO take advantage
| Of the labor movement as we find II.
We must have your child labor SO
| dividends are built I'm out Of the sacrl-
| feed lives Of babies There are men who
earn their incomes through the employ
ment Of babies In their southern invest
ments."
