Compliment to BeaconsfieId.

In connection with the action of Sec
retary Hay in the matter of the Jews
of Roumania, it may be pointed out
ence Of Lord Beaconsfield that the
treaty Of Berlin was made to include
stipulations in their favor. 1t was
Beaconsield's skillful diplomacy in
favor of the Jews which was upper
most in the mind of Bismarck when,
at one Of his parliamentary soirees."
he was asked by one of his guests
whom he deemed to be the ablest plen-
ipotentiary at the congress Of Berlin
"Well," replied the chancellor, Il

but am quite certain that the second
ablest was Lord Beaconsfeld."

Speaking of taking snap judgment
though temporary injunctions, we would
like to remind some of our contemporaries
who seem to be so deeply concerned be-
cause temporary injunction was
granted affecting the retirement of the
Northern Pacific preferred stock, that the
people of this country have learned from
the corporations, and particularly the rail-
road corporations, the use Of the power Of
the injunction. And probably no corpora
ton has ever used it more extensively than
the Northern Pacific.
It takes only short memory to recall
the fact that the same people whom it
was sought to reach by a temporary in
junction in the district court of Hennepin
county are the very ones who obtained a
similar order from Judge jenkins at Mil
waukee few years ago against their em-
ployes, which, on account Of It's sweeping
and drastic nature, has done more than
anything else to develop prejudice In this
country against the federal courts and to

SOMEWHAT CONFLICTING

The friends of the railroad merger real
ly ought to get together on this mat
ter Of the effect of the control of the
Northern Pacific by the Union Pacific.
The northwest is congratulated this
morning by st. Paul contemporary on
the fact that the effort to prevent the re-
tirement of the Northern Pacific preferred
failed and that in consequence of that
failure the Union Pacific crowd is
not able to control the Northern Pacific,
because if they did they would have taken
away the Burlington from the northern
combination and would have given us just
as high rates on the Northern Pacific as
they have on the Union Pacific, which are
said to be slightly higher than Northern
Pacific rates. w.
That is one theory.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hill assures US
that control of the Northern Pacific by
the Union Pacific would have been disas
trous, because, with the Northern Pacific
in the hands of the Union Pacific, that
out of the Great Northern, and the COM
petition, which The Journal sug-
gested might still be maintained, would
have been impossible.
Now both of these things could not
happen. If we are threat tened with high
er rates on the Northern Pacific through
the ascendency in that company of Union
Pacific interests, how is the Great North
ern to be crushed by competition of that
kind? And as for the embarrassment of
the Great Northern by the loss of control
of the Burlington there are several other
roads reaching east and southeast with
i which the Great Northern could do bust
ness.
The congratulations extended over the
failure of the Union Pacific people to pre-
vent the retirement of Northern Pacific
preferred stock would be more keenly
appreciated if it were not for this incon-
sistency in the views of our friends-the
advocates and apologists of railroad
monopoly.

THE MERITS OF THE MERGER

Mr.. Walker writes to 7 h e ourna
to-day to say why, in his opinion, the pro-
posed railroad merger would be good
thing. In brief, his main argument Is
this: That it would be better for the
northwest generally to have the Northern
Pacific controlled by the Great Northern
or any combination with the Great North
ern, than to have it controlled by the
Union Pacific, and have the control OF the
Burlington go with it. If this latter con-
dition were to obtain the oriental trathc,
which promises to increase and become OF
great Importance, will, he thinks, pc
largely diverted south Of us over the lines
of the Union Pacific and the Burlington
connections south and east. He has also
much to say about Mr.. Hills services to
the northwest as a developer of the coun-
try, and thinks that as shipper ne woulo
be entirely safe in Mr.. Hills hands IL ne
should control the entire northwestern
railroad situation.
Mr.. Walker states the proposition of the
value of control of the Northern Pac1hc
by Mr.. Hill instead of by the Union Pa
cific people better, probably, than MIR. Hill
did. But both Of them, it seems to us,
seek to magnify out of it's true proportions
the value to the people of Minnesota and
other northwestern states of the routing
of oriental traffic as compared with the
benefits to be derived by the people along
these lines in Minnesota and other north
western states from active competition
between them.
It seems to us that 1t Is of very much
greater Importance to the business men
in the distributing centers of the north
west what the rates are to be in the ter
ritory in which they must do business
than it is whether all or a part Of the
oriental traffic shall pass through these
cities. Likewise it is of more Importance
to the farmers and business men in the
smaller cities and towns distributed
through this region what their rates are
likely to be between them and the trade
centers referred to.
But even granting considerable impor-
lance of the routing Of oriental traffic, the
independence of the Great Northern, even
>if the Northern Pacific should pass INTO
different control, ought to insure con-
siderable amount of oriental traffic coming
this way.
AS for Mr.. Walkers confidence In Mr..
Hills disposition to be liberal. to the peo-
pie Of the northwest, that is matter
upon which each Individual must make up
his own mind. Experience teaches that
it is not safe to put into the hands OF
one man such power as Mr.. Hill seeks to
exercise Mr.. Hill has never been &C
cused of being in business for his health
and while he might pursue vAry liberal
policy as the master of the northwestern
railroad situation, the propriety of de-
pending upon his favor for fair treatment
when it can be practically assured
through competition, does not commend
itself to everybody.

BULBS AND FLOUR


The presence in Minneapolis of Frank D.
Hill, the able Minnesotan who is United
States consul at Amsterdam, brings again
to the front the question of the duty on
Dutch bulbs. This little question-so lit
tie considered merely as a question Of
the annual duty on $4,000 worth of bulbs
lis one of the best object lessons we
know of in the value of a reciprocal trade
policy. 80
The Dutch are very sentimental peo-
pie. 1t offends them that the United
States should put such a heavy duty on
their bulbs, duty that serves no pro-
tective purpose and yields comparative
ly insignificant revenue. They are pre-
pared to retaliate by placing heavy duty
on our flour, of which we export Immense
quantities to Holland. Such retaliation
would be a severe blow to American mill
ers, blow that would be felt severely in
Minneapolis. The question has been agi-
tated now for several years, and still
nothing has been done. "
Mr.. Hill is greatly interested in the
matter, and is comforting with interested
congressman regarding an amendment to
the tariff law that will relieve the Dutch
bulbs of the heavy duty. Representative
Tawney, who, as member of the ways
and means committee of the house, is in
a position to exert a favorable influence
for the measure, has become greatly in
terested in the question. Yet it is toler-
ably certain that, the blind devotees of a
sacred and unalterable tariff will offer
strenuous opposition to this innocent,
fair and just proposition. -

the dedication Of the new building the

government by injunction. This is
only dose of their own medi-
cine, at it's worst But we do
not remember to have seen any
thing in the columns where this recent
protest against injunction is uttered de-
claring against the resort to injunction by
corporations. The horror of an injunction
seems to have been much more keenly
developed in that quarter on one side than
on the other, SO much so that there is no
cutlery when an injunction hits people, but
and continuous.
