According to The urnal' ssWash-
ington correspondence. the Minnesotans in
Washington have come to entertain some
new ideas about the political situation in
Minnesota since, the meeting of the state
central committee. They may think that
what has happened IS that Van SAINT has
suddenly developed strength in the state
that he did not possess one or two or four
months ago, but as a matter of fact what
has happened is that the Minnesotans at
Washington have suddenly begun to get
the right idea Of the situation in this
state, and Of the, governors strength
with the people off Minnesota. Minneso-
tans at Washington were simply mot in
touch with the situation at home.

COMPETITION OF TERMlNI

The refusal of the eastern lines to CO.
operate with the western in placing -four
on an equal basis with wheat in export
shipments has led the nillers to make
an actual trial of sonnet hing they have
long talked about, viz, shipping to
Europe via New Orleans. The Illinois
Central railway seems to be willing to do
what the short sighted eastern roads are
not.
In making up their minds to make a
trial of the New Orleans route the millers
are taking advantage of about the only
form of transportation competition left
among the railways of the United States
That is the competition of rival ire
mini.
A railway system like the Illinois Gen.
trail that is interested only in a gulf port
finds 1t difficult to locate it's community
of interests with lines that terminate at
Atlantic ports If it already had an
enormous export business the case might
be different, but the Illinois Central is
devoted to the purpose of extending as
much as possible the zone from which New
Orleans shall draw exports. It prizes new
business and is willing to make conces-
sions to get it. The east and west roads
have the business and think there is no
danger of losing it.; hence they will not
take the trouble to make concessions.
Another thing that may continue to
make the Illinois Central low tariff line
Ftss the fact that 1T is paralleled by the
Mississippi water route. AS soon as it is
demonstrated that -four may bey conve-
niently and cheaply shipped via New Or
leans, using the 6ra iIwayssto reach that
port, interest Will be- revived in the use
of the river for the,sam purpose We are
not aware that any -four has ever beer
exported in that way, but in 1886 an ex.
perimental shipment of wheat was made
from. Minneapolis by that route. 1t was
satisfactory hut the Illinois Central, il
it's eagerness for business, has made sucl
rates that it is even cheaper at present tt
ship by rail than by water. However, i
the stubborness of the eastern roads lead
to the diversion of the flour traffic from

this country. Mr. Witham of Atlanta has
q central bank there, with twenty six
branches through the state, and the ma
tionals have through the country the com-
petition Of state banks in the same 10
cality. 1t is affirmed that branch banks
will divert money from small towns to
the large cities, but money does not act
that way; ordinarily it goes where bust
ness demands j e and stays as long as 1T is
wanted for business, II the country has an
available supply Of undistributed cur
rency.
The plea that branch banking. will lead
to the organization of a, big money trust
should not be taken very seriously, for
in Europe, where the system obtains, it
has not generated gigantic money trust.
but there is a tendency to lower interest
rates through competition, while the sys-
TEN tends bank facilities to small
places. On account of the unequal dlstri-
button of capital between the eastern
New England) and the western states,
there is difference in national bank dis
count rates of AZ per cent, which could
be reduced under more equal distribution
Of capital more than|one half. As a mat
ter Of fact, the state banks&are now, here
and there, establishing branch banks
where there is a good prospect Of getting
business and these state chartered
branches are not regarded by the people
with aversion and distrust.
Every leading commercial nation in the
world except ourselves has adopted branch
banking and, if we expect to build UP a
great oriental trade, we shall have to
establish branch national banks at the
leading trading points. This is done by
the European nations.
1t will not do to denounce feature, OF
banking successfully utilized by the great
commercial nations Of Europe and begin

state banks,zuntil more attention is giver
by those who sWeepingly condemn 1T tt

The FUTURE OF LAND VALUES

j. J. Hill, whose judgment on the sub
ject ought to be as good as that of any
man we can think of, says that the pres
ent demand for northwestern farm lands
accompanied as it has been by great in
creases in prices, is a healthy movement
not boom-and in no danger of col
lapse. Psi
The rise in prices if not in values has
been 80 pronounced during the last three.
years that many of the land operators
have Jumped to the conclusion that prices
were inflated and were sure to- fall with
thud. Mr.. Hills views will be reassur-
ing to these men and will encourage the
doubters, who have had trouble in making
upu their minds, to hasten to buy land
before itsgoes yet higher q
AS. usual in discussing economic ques-
tions, Mr.. Hill handles figures impressive-
ly in proving his thesis. He points out
| that the population of the United States
is increasing 1900 daily and 1,500, 900
yearly. At this rate the United States
will have 10000 people within fifty
years. i =, &: Is Is
These people must be fed and clothed
Agriculture, which is the foundation Of
civilization, must provide for their wants.
IT millions more go to the cities millions
must also go to the farms. What must be
done will be done. Land, good land,
everywhere will be valuable.
There will then not be such land
competition between different regions
as there is now. 1t is no ar
gument against the probable in
+ crease of land values that acres are cheap
er in New York with 100000 people
4 than in Minnesota with 1900, 900 and twice
i the area. So far the nations land supply
I has exceeded the demands the latter now
begins to surpass the former. And as the
United States must forever depend mostly
upon itself for it's food. supplies, the com
petition between regions having been
eliminated, all lands will be increasingly
valuable. ~
Mr.. J. J. Hill does not, of course, favor
standpoint Of transcontinental railway
man, and also from the selfish viewpoint
of the interior of the continent. 1t is
true that an isthmian canal may not dc
us mid-continent people much direct good
but we believe that 1t will benefit the
nation as a whole. 1t will certainly be
a good thing for the great eastern ports
and as they are the capitals Of American
capital and industry what benefits then
will benefit us. all Moreover the cana
will have a military value which mus
be given due: weight in considering 1T!

the session of the senate today was
heightened by the fact that the presi-
read and also that Gen. Russell A. AL
ger of Michigan, former secretary of
war under President NICK inley, would
be sworn in to fill the vacancy caused
by the dath of Senator Mcmillan.
His desk and chair were hidden benea
tn mass of flowers, and as he took
his seat he was surrounded bv a num-
ber of his colleagues who extended
hearty congratulations. In the gal
lery were number of General Alger's
family. One hour and fifteen min
utes were consumed in reading the
presidents message. Almost the en-
tire republican representation were in
their seats. but not more than half
the seats on the democratic side were
occupied The closest attention was
paid to the message as it was being
read and frequently senator's would
confer regarding some special portion
of it which had attracted their particu-
ar notice.
A number of bills and resolutions
were introduced, following brief
executive session. The resignation of
Rev. VIII Milburn. the blind chap
lain of the senate, was received with
genuine regret. He had become a
familiar figure in the body and was
personally acquainted with every SEN
ator. No action was taken on the
resignation.

memory of the late Charles H. Rus
