ABOUT THE TRUSTS

ST. PAUL, Sept. 27.-In an address
at the Grant county fair at Elbow Lake
last evening, President ]. ]. Hill Of
the Great Northern railway and of the
Northern Securities company, said:
Your chairman said that there are
a great many people apprehensive o.
the great industrial enterprises which
are being carried on and well they may
he There are so-called Industrial en-
terprises whose only industry is in run
ming printing presses to print shares OF
stock. 1 tell you if there is no harm
in an enterprise, if there are five OF
ten of them that are good there is nc
bad in them and when you put then
together there is no bad in the entire
mass. But if the object is to get some
thing for nothing, to get something thai
does not belong to them, to get money
out of another mans pocket, the money
he has worked for, and put into theil
own-if that is the object it is all wrong
but some of these great enterprises are
absolutely sound and right
Continuing, Mr.. Hill said:
Some people advocate, our president
advocates, turning everything over to
congress. What sort of a congress
would we have after a While if all the
business of the country were turned
over to it? 1 think they would be doing
business in the hall of congress, but
the business they would do you'd not
bring business to you that you want. /
think should hold every man response
BILE for himself and his own acts. If he
does wrong punish him; if he does right
protect him. When that is done those
persons will take care of themselves"
Mr.. Hill told how his efforts toward
reducing rates on grain had been
thwarted by the consolidation of the
lake boats in making a corresponding
raise.
What we did do them" said Mr..
Hill. I'VE built six schooners to carry
grain from Superior to Buffalo and the
other boats have not declared a divi-
dend since. We did not want to go
into elevator business at Buffalo, but
we had to in order to keep the other
elevators from overcharging and work
ing other extortions. AS a result the
elevator charges of Buffalo are now
half cent bushel where it was one
and one-half cents"

THE POLITICAL BOSS.

The attempt 10 Dust Mr.. Platt from
his political bosship in New York Is moi
the first that has been made by any
means. Periodically such outbreaks oc-
CIR but Mr.. PIatt serenely rides the
storm and in the end is as much OF a
boss as ever. 1t is remarkable how taF
his autocracy goes. If man, in almost
anv county of New York, wants an
i,,,nortant nomination, he is more likely
TO see PIatt about it than his own con
stituents and if Plat is agreeable the
machine in that county or that district
or in the State at large is set at work
! TO grind his political grist. 1t may be
fairly assumed that Mr.. Platt, despite
conspicuous failure now and then,
dictates ninety-five per cent of the inn
portant Republican nominations in the
Empire State.
Upon what rests his power? 1t is not
his own possession of a senatorship,
sixteen years and part of that time I'M
der a cloud, he still ran the machine.
He is not public speaker or a mixer
with the people. His private business
as the head of an express company
keeps him in New York city when the
Senate is not in session. One would
popular and to risk defeat to name him
for an office at the hands OF the voters
There are ADLER men in New York poll
tics. Nevertheless he is the ruler of the
New York Republicans, the Warwick
behind every Governor, the maker of
states, the handspring which keeps the
party machinery in motion-in other
words, the boss! z
And bosses of his class are reigning
or arising in all the States, Quay in
Pennsylvania, Addicks in Delaware,
Hanna in Ohio, and so on through
long list of men, most of whom are
Senator's It seems as if Americans.
though welded to the principle of
democracy in the field of high politics
have small use for it in the everyday
political work which falls to their lot
as citizens. They elect presidents for
the nation and accept kings for the
party.
What brought such condition about?
Probably the secret is that when the
people are left to themselves in such
matters they do badly. If the best citi-
zens would attend the primaries and
send their most thoughtful, patriotic
and incompatible men to conventions
the boss would not find room; but they
neglect the fundamental duties of citi-
zenship and then the gang gets in its
work" with the result that tickets are
bad and corruption rife. If good men
cannot be had to control nominations it
is better to leave them to fairly re-
spectacle and diligent boss than to let
them fall into the clutches of the baser
elements of the party. On the whole
Mr.. Platt in New York and even Mr..
Addicks in Delaware and Mr.. Burns in
California make better tickets than do
1.-The people" when left to their own
devices. Nevertheless the principle is
opposed to the genius of democratic
rule and in the end may beget taste
for one-man power that will seriously
| affect the health of the republic.

Northern Woman Tells Some Plain
Truths.

Mrs. Sarah Thorp Thomas Of Alexan-
der, 10 miles below Little Rock, writes
as follows in the New York World -:
AS Northern woman-a native of
New York who came South in the lat
ter part of the '70's, | claim to have
had unusual advantages for Judging Of
the state of the country then and now,
and it makes my blood boil to hear the
lynchings that have taken place at the
South brought up as an Offset for every
description of savagery which occurs in
public or private life in other parts of
the country, as well as the barbarities
OF war. The colored race at the North
are so few in numbers and so controlled
by surrounding circumstances that they
are no longer specimens of the Africans
in America. Before and after tine war
pervading sense of natural separation
and the superiority of the whites re-
strained and prevented the negroes
from committing the atrocities now be-
coming so common, but with the usual
impulse of selfish human nature to
make the conquered to feel their hu-
initiation to the utmost, the North has
tried to compel the South to accept an
equality with the negro that they them
selves will not tolerate This is the
great reason why the barrier once ex
isting between the races is no longer
restraint. The breaking down of ma
ture 8 safeguard which protected n
white woman from the covetous license
of the negro, is responsible for most #
the lynchings, and such otfenses, from
once being rare, are now frightfully
frequent.

do had they been subjected to such in

instead of permitting quick death in
consuming fire. do not know a wo
man who would not rather be burned at
the stake than to suffer a horror she
would never be called on to endure even
in hell itself.
Put yourselves in our places. Have
not the same inhuman crimes received
the same punishment everywhere Rec
ords show that they have the only
difference is that in some places they
are fewer in number because there are
less to commit them.
This is a moral question not politi
cal one our officials are doing all they
can to stop and punish lynchings, but
as long as sections Of the country attack
us on the ground that they are the
greatest sins against law and order, in.
stead of the invitable result of the most
hdeous of crimes, they will continue to
be meted out rs punishment at the
hands of an outraged people, no matter

stop the crime and we can stop the
