After the Combine the Government.

As an Indication that President
Roosevelt does not regard the forma-
ton of railroad combinations with
approval. n close friend of his is quot
ed as saying TO J. Pierpont Morgan:
You may be sincere. Mr.. Morgan.
and YOU might succeed If YOU were
God: but no human agency except
the government of the United States
will ever be allowed to own and con-
troll the railroads of the United
States. There are just TWO alterna-
tives to this question OF transpOrta-
ton. competition or government con-
troll When the people are convinced
or have good grounds TO suspect that
railroad competition is ended. they
will insist on government control.
You are on dangerous ground. and if
YOU go forward in this gigantic
scheme YOU will precipitate the great
est political question of the age and
bring the federal government face 10
face with the necessity for govern
menI control
Admonitions such as this will not
terrify Morgan, for as corporations
control the government government
control of railways would mean control
of the railways by themselves. just
what it has meant under the inter
state act which successive court de
cisions have reduced to impotency. \
determined threat of government ow-
nership would seriously alarm Nor
gan and his fellow monopolists.
But the presidents close friend does
not make this. and il is to-be assum-
ed. if the friend echoes the eXecu-
tive's sentiments and attitude. that
the community OF interest plan
will receive no check from the admin
iStratiOn.

NOVEMBER RECEIPTS
LARGEST ON RECORD

The internal revenue receipts at
the Peoria Office. of which Rock Island
contributed a part. amounted TO 81
49,. O7S.6j during the month of Mo-
vember. which amount * the largest
sum ever collected in one month in
this district or any other internal
revenue district in the United States.
At the present rate of collections
the Peoria office will. in the course of
"a year. collect. in round numbers. a
little more than forty-One and one
half millions of dollars. which sum
* more than enough to build and
equip formidable navN.7 or TO have
more than paid for the Chicago drain
age canal. which has caused our
larger sister city TO indulge in so
much bombaStic boasting. Should
the present rate continue this dis
trict will have collected and paid in
to the strong box of Uncle Sam dur
ing the time required for the con-
struction and completion of the Mic
araguan canal. more than the cost of
the canal. as now estimated by the
engineers.
The month has been a month of re-
cord breaking. as on November 9th
the collections exceeded the largest
previous days record. when S222. 664.-
50 was received. The week ending
November 10th was the largest week
recorded. for during the week the Of
flee received $50. 1882. During the
week Just ended the collections
amounted to S169. 9O4.2O. The largest
collections for any one month pre-
vious TO the one just closed was dur
ing the month of October of this
year. when S3.375, 1887 was collected.
During MIR. Rennick's term of office
he has collected and turned into the
treasury of the United States over
nine millions of dollars.

points to tariff injustices and insists
upon their correction now while times
are good and before they make times
bad. And il is somewhat difficult 10
see how prosperity is promoted by
forbidding the expansion of foreign
trade. by goading foreign nations to
try to exclude American products
and by forcing Americans TO pay
home manufacturers higher prices
than they ask of foreigners.
Here is n situation which calls for
all the famed skill of the republicans
for having their family rows in pri-
vate. The provision for caucus of
extra length seems hardly adequate.
1t is a quarrel between campaign

Is THE BIGGEST ON EARTH
Dubuque About to Turn Out Largest Tow
Boat Ever Built.

Rock Island people will be on the
watch for the monster steel tow
boat. to be launched in Dubuque
this week and lowed down the river.
Concerning the boat. Dubuque
paper has the following:
The largest towboat in the world
will he launched next week from
the Iowa Iron works ways on the
bank of the ice harbor. Whether
or not there will he any ceremonies
attending the launching is matter
that is not known yet. The event
certainly seems to be of sufficient
importance to warrant the breaking
of a bottle of champagne by one of
Dubuque's fairest daughters. Some
months ago there was talk of making
the day of the launching an Occa-
sion of rejoicing over Dubuque's pro-
gress in manufacturing. but all plans
were abandoned when it was found
that the weather at launching time
would be cold. The new boat was
built for the Pittsburg, Mononga-
heIa Coal d Iron company and is
said to be the largest craft of its
kind in the world, measuring 3ls feet
in length"

me ask if any one has ever died IN the
house "
''Why. yes, believe so,' he reluc-
family replied.
That settles it then. and 1 won't
take the house."
But people are dying in houses all
the time" he protested.
Eyes, but the idea is uncanny. I'll
look for a new house.
But listen, ma'am. This was no
ordinary death. 1t was a poet who had
the house, and one evening they found
him dead in his chair with n half COM
pleted poem, To. Night in his hand
The angels took him rs his soul

"Oh. well, that alters the case, and
I'll take the house. I thought some

day IL is i'm the highest degree com
plimentary to the young executive of
the ration upon whose shoulders the
mantel of II great, responsibility has
so suddenly fallen. that this is so.
Underlying the interest in what the
new president may have To say ON
public questions and national prob
lens * deep rooted confidence ON
the part of the people. They believe
in the sincerity of purpose. the earn
estness and the courage of conviction
of President Roosevelt. Hence Il
great deal naturally and properly at

They are regarded not merely as no
tions but as well thought out con-
illusions backed 10y strong will power
and the determination To impress
them for all that they are worth up
on the minds of those To whom they
are directed.
There MAY not perhaps be the
phra sociology to the ut

Voters or Champaign Contributors"

New York World: All but few of
the group of republicans that rules
the senate and the house, and there
fore the councils of the party. are in
close touch with the manufacturing
interests which forbid any tariff
changes whatever. These interests
urge as a pretext for doing nothing
that one change means many. and
many changes mean disturbed condi-
tions, and disturbed conditions may
check prosperity. Nor is this argu-
ment without certain surface
pIausibility. Urged by campaign
contributions it has almost the
force and effect of a mandate to
the republican leaders.
But what of the mandate" from
the other side?
1t comes from the region where
the republican party must poll its
heaviest vote-the agricultural dis
tricts of the great middle west. 1t
