"THE IOWA IDEA"

T . jour- nals special telegraphic
service brought an interview the other
day, by Walter Wellman, of the Chicago
Record Herald. with "a member of the
cabinet" whose name was not given, but
whose identity was the subject Of con-
siderable speculation. In that interview
''the member Of the cabinet criticized
the Iowa republican platform. and in sub
stance declared 1t was foolish to talk
about tariff revision.
Governor Cummins of Iowa Is under
stood to have been active and influential
in securing: the adoption of the Iowa re-
publican tariff plank and is, therefore,
natural defender of that proposition.
The Journal instructed its Des
Moines correspondent to secure an inter-
view with the governor. That Interview
we publish to-day. In it the governor
stands squarely by the platform and de-
fends the position which the party has
taken under his leadership.
1t is understood in Iowa that Secretary
Shaw was the member of the cabinet"
interviewed. Whether that assumption is
correct or not it is not altogether unnat-
ural in view of the fact that Secretary
Shaw and other prominent leaders Of the
party in that state are understood to have
opposed the adoption of the tariff plank
incorporated in the Iowa platform because
it declared too positively for tariff re-
vision. H. ..,9e. +. i. '
But whoever may have been the author
Of. the interview referred, to. he IS. not
more acute in his critisism Of "the iowa
idea" than is Governor !Cummins clear
and strong in his support of the PROPOSE
tion that tariff schedules are not neces-
sarily sacred and above the reach Of re-
view and alteration when the conditions
they were made to f1t have, materially
changed. :,

COMMON SENSE FOR THE MERGER

Attention is called to a. resume, else
where printed to-day, Of discussion of
the legal aspects of the Northern Securi-
ties company by Mr. Edward B. Whitney,
New York attorney. He presents
clearly and concisely the question that
most students of the merger have asked:
What right has New Jersey corpora
ton to accomplish in Minnesota what Is
forbidden by the laws Of Minnesota?
Actual consolidation of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific by means
of ownership Of the stock of the latter by
the former has hitherto been prevented
by the federal courts, administering a
state law. But because 1t is undispuated
that private person, If he had sufficient
funds, could purchase both roads and
thus unite their ownership the conselidat-
ors argued that they had only to create
a proprietary corporation to have the
same rights that an Individual has. If
such corporation, as an artificial person.
is indistinguishable from natural per-
son, it becomes evident that corporation
can be formed in New Jersey to operate In
Minnesota contrary to the laws Of this
state.
Mr.. whitney is not disposed to have
public policy frustrated by such legal
fiction. He Is on strong ground when he
contends that because a state does not
forbid an Individual from acquiring
ownership that ends competition it does
not follow that corporation Is free to do
likewise. Combinations are not only
much more powerful and dangerous than
individuals, but they have been the Sub
ject of special legislation. 49, >.
But after all the great point, the COM
mon sense point, that Mr.. Whitney makes
is, really, that the New Jersey charter
of the Northern Securities company is not
worth the parchment it is written on when
It is used to Illustrate the laws Of Min
nesota and the laws Of the United States.
That It's effect, as applied, is such every
body knows. 1t Is absurd to stfppose that
the great state of Minnesota and the
mighty republic of the United States are
to be bound and gagged by the tangles of
woven by bunch of corporation lawyers
under the hospitable laws Of New Jersey.
It. is wonderful what difference the
position Of a man with respect to the
firing line makes in his charact err. If he
| is on the other side he is BRUTE. II he
| is on your side he is an angel. A short
while ago the English public and press
| was loud in abuse Of the Beers. Now
nothing is too good for the Beers who
turn up in England and they are showered
with compliments and overwhelmed with
courteous attentions. II the Beers are
the beasts such Americans as Julian
Ralph represented them to be In their
zeal to outdo the English scribes they
are not entitled to such receptions az
lthey have received III England. The fact
The Minneapolis journal., 1902-08-19

David Tenney, a prominent society man OF
Minneapolis, is mayor Of Lone Tree, N. D.
Since his incumbency Of the mayors chair,
not man in the place has been arrested for
drunkenness or other crime. This is not al
together due to the sfaot that Mr.. Tenney Is
the only fnhabitant Of the town. He has
charge Of the elevator. 81

Shirley for State Treasurer.

H. l.. Shirley of Breckenridge will be the
democratic candidate for state treasurer. At
the meeting Of the executive committee In St.
Paul tomorrow, Mr.. Shirley will be placed
on the ticket to fill the vacancy caused by
the withdrawal of Joseph l.. Meyer Of Little
Falls. Mr. Shirley was prevailed on to run
by G. "A. Nye of Moorhead. He is well known
and popular in his section Of the state.
l.. A Rosng is in Crookston to-day, and
will spend week meeting the "boys' In the
ninth district He was in Chisago county over
Sunday. He was always good at the gum
shoe campaign, which will be his long suit
this fall until October, when the heavy artil-
iery will be unlimbered.
= P. f.. Herbert of the first ward, one of the
democratic members from the thirty-eighth
legislative district in the last house, filed
yesterday for denomination. That district is
solidly democratic, and 1t Is up to the DEM
ocrats there to put up good men. Mr.. Her
bert might be improved on, but he Is pref
cradle to his colleague, Charles Fust
Charles B. Cheney.

ENGLISH ROYAL ARMoR.
That Were Worn Earlier Than the Tudor Period.

In the kings armory, London. which for a year has undergone thorough examination and revision, it is inter- esting to note that, although there are swords of greater age, there are no suits of mail of a date earlier than the Tudor period. One set of armor Is known to have been worn by Henry VIII; another piece of harness is identified as having belonged to Charles l., while third suit is not able as having been the armor of Henry, Prince of Wales, says the Buff falo Commercial.
 Curiously enough, this interesting research amongst the armored tene- ments of men who have long been numbered with the dust confirms 6olomon's dictum that There is no new thing under the sum- or, at least, proves the proyerb that History re- peats itself" Practically all these coats of proof were made in the Ger many of their time; so that made in Germany" is, after all, no new phrase.

THE ORNAMENT WAS LOADED

The residence of Hiram Fulton of Hartranft, Montgomery county, pre- sented scene of consternation and dismay several days ago, when a swarm of hornets took possession of the entire house unexpectedly.
 Last fall MT Fulton found an excel lent species of hornets nest, and find Ing it perfect and intact, he thought it would make an excellent ornament for his home. Acting on the impulse, he took the nest home and hung it in the parlor. That portion of the house was used very little during the winter. and several days ago, when his wife was preparing the house for visitors. a fire was started in the parlor. The room soon became warm, and their atten- tion was shortly attracted by a loud buZZing, and the next instant the room was filled with hornets that came from the ornamental nest The heat caused them to come out, and resulted in a rush to escape from the room. Sever al of the family suffered from coming in contact with the business end of the insects. and over an hours time was consumed driving them from the house. Philadelphia Evening Tele- graph.

THE GAMBLERS DIsGoRGED.

A sensational incident occurred on the Duluth limited Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis and Omaha train, which arrived here Thursday morning. Three men, two of them Conductor B. B. Ryan recognized as card sharps, got on at Eau Claire, and soon had George Bracket, mining man from Califor- nia, engaged in q game of whist. Then the card sharps began to get poker hands.
 After Bracket had lost two 8 bills, he accused them, and they protested innocence. Bracket went to his seat. and. taking from it a huge revolver and long knife, he advanced on the gam blers with one weapon in each hand. He demanded his money which was in- stantly produced.
 The men fled from the car, and there was panic for a few moments among the occupants of the sleeper. The gamblers got off at West Superior Conductor Ryan had warned the men not to play for money.-Chicag Rec ord-Herald.
