CURRENT COMMENT.

The Boston Post (Dem.) says: The
Rhodes scholarships at oxford should
make a pretty fine exhibit of young
Americanism. The success of this idea
viii depend, of course, upon the wisdom
with which it is carried out by those
who have the difficult and delicate task
in hand"
The Pittsburg (Pa) Post Dem)
says: "In the last Congress James r.
Campbell Democratic member from
Illinois, resigned his seat in the House
and raised a regiment to take part in
the Spanish war. He came out bril-
gadier general and a Republican, but
has just failed in his effort to secure
the Republican nomination in his home
district for reelection to Congress.
This is somewhat chilling to a new con-
vert"
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem.)
says Senator Lodge says it is all
important that the sessions of the SEN
ate committee on the Philippines shall
continue to be secret because a great
many matters come up in the meetings
of the committee which it is highly
important the people of the United
States shall not know about Why,
then. does Mr.. Lodge or any supporter
of his in the Philippines adventure OBJ
ject to being called an imperialism
The Chattanooga Times (Dem) says:
"In order to be robust partisan one
doesn't have to swear black is white;
doesn't have to play the traitor becaOse
the other party has taken the right side
of an international question; doesn't
have to hold all men who do not agree
with him as liars and scoundels,
doesn't have to denounce the party in
power whether it does right or wrong.
Our partisanship ought to be founded
in principle. 1t should be as little as
possible tingled with personal feeling
and not at all by personal animosity.
We may, If we are of any respectable
size, differ from our fellow citizens and
yet believe they are sincere in their be-
Iefs as we are in our own"

TRUST LAWS EvADED.

The Governor of Minnesota is trying
to get hold on the billion dollar steel
trust which has large mining interests
in that state. Much of it's ore comes
from Minnesota mines. Thus far,
however, the Minnesota Attorney Gen
eral has been unable to find a single
point on which he can hang suit
against the great corporation. 1t
seems that the steel trust is repre-
scented in the state by a number of
small corporations the stock of which
it owns. While therefore it has no le-
gal existence in the state it has a
great many agents there. and does a
big business within the states limits
No doubt the shrewest lawyers in the
country arranged the affairs of the
steel trust. 1t is so constituted as to
be beyond the reach of the trust laws
of the various states and, at the same
time, to evade the payment of the inn
mense license tax imposed on corpor-
ations. If 1t could be shown that the
steel trust was doing business in Min
nesota it would have to pay a license
tax of $4,000.
And it would not be surprising if the
suit of the government against the
Northern Securities Company would
fail. That company was not formed
without the best legal advice. Most of
the witnesses on which the government
relies to make out a case have been
examined, and it is doubtful if the
government is satisfied with the pros
pect it has of getting a decision in it's
favor. That the spirit of the law is
violated there is no doubt. If it should
be decided that the company is a legal
one it would not be long, in all prob
ability, before about all of the rail-
roads of the country would be merged
in companies like the Northern Securi-
ties Company.
The railroads do not know just what
course to take at present. The amend
ment which has been offered to the in
terstate commerce bill by Senator Ell
kins, giving them the right to pool
their earnings, is one way out of the
difficulties with which they now con-
tend, but there is little, If any
probability, that Congress will approve
the pooling amendment, unless the In
terstate Commerce Commission is at
the same time given the right to super
vlse the rates. The Interstate Com
MERGE Commission favors pooling, pro-
vided it is authorized to supervise the
rates. This is a matter that is going
to attract a great deal of attention in
Congress at an early day. There must
be basis for the action of the roads
in making rates, and some way must
be provided for maintaining them. One
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, MIR. Prouty. in a recent address
said, that, in his opinion, the day of
competition among railroads was over
and that the day of governmental reg
ulation and supervision of rates was
approaching.

The condition of affairs which the
grand jury of st. Louis has uncover
ed in that city, and the comments
which it has made upon the St Louis
councilmen, are calculated to make
the average citizen of every city Won
der whether or not the efforts that
are constantly being made in our
cities to secure honest and economi-
cal municipal government are hope
less.
1t seems that many of the council
men. delegates they are called in St.
Louis, were not only willing to be
bribed, but were determined to be.
They banded together to prevent the
passage of any measure in which
there was money. unless they were
literally paid for their votes. In
seeking places in the city govern
ment they had only one idea, and that
was to fill their pockets. 1t never en-
tered their minds that it was their
duty to protect the interests of the
people. Some of them made as much
as $4,000 a year out of their posi-
AlOilof dANllOuSii tiiC compensation VI d
councilman is only s25 a month.
1t seems that there has been a vast
amount of corruption in the city
council for years. The fact that there
was must, of course, have been
known. 1t is not reasonable tC sup
pose that the men who were black
mailed never said anything about the
corrupt practices of the councilmen.
No doubt they kept the fact that they
had bribed councilmen in the back
ground, but they must have talked in
a general way. No doubt those who
aided in corrupting the comcilmen
were willing to pay literally for
charters and privileges. because they
made money out of what they pur-
chased 1t appears that one fran
chise recently bought for about $780,
900 was sold as soon as it was OBJ
tanned for $1,25O,0OO.
But how was it possible for men
who are always on the lookout for
opportunities to sell their votes to get
into places of honor and profit not
only in st. Louis, but also in other
cities? Is it not because of the fact
that a vast number of citizens-the
very ones who should be most active
in public affairs-refuse to discharge
their duties as citizens?
The newspapers of Philadelphia are
always talking of the rotten condition
of affairs in the government of that
city. 1t has not been very long since
franchises worth at least $4,000, 900
were given away to a few political ia
vorites. OF course, it is not known
that the members of the city govern
ment were given share of the
plumber, but there is no doubt that the
belief is quite general in Philadelphia
that they were.
A day or two ago it was stated by
the Record of Philadelphia, that at
municipal elections in that city fully
10000 voters remained away from the
polls. 1t cannot rea sonably be expected
that there will be honest municipal gov
eminent in any city when a third or
half of those who ought to be fore
most in making their influence felt in
behalf of honest and economical gov
eminent remain away from the polls
II municipal elections are turned over
to the element whose chief object is to
make out of politics all it can, good
municipal government is not to be ex-
pected.

A SUGGESTION FOR MIR. CARNEGIE

A London cable says that in that city
the opinion is expressed that Mr.
Carnegie and John d. Rockefeller will
second the Cecil Rhodes scheme to
preserve the peace of the world, and es-
pecially for bringing the various divis-
ions of the English speaking people in
to closer touch. 1t seems that those
who are discussing the matter in Lon
don expect Mr.. Carnegie and Mr..
Rockefeller will leave large sum for
educating German and English, parti-
cularly English, students in American
universities.
II any such idea prevails in London
it might as well be dismissed at once.
Neither Mr.. Carnegie nor Mr.. Rookie
Teller is the sort of a man to pattern
after another. They will mark out
lines for the distribution of their
wealth for themselves. Mr.. Carnegie
has already distributed a vast amount
in the erection of library buildings and
Mr.. Rockefeller has given a good many
millions to colleges and seminaries. It
is not improbable that each of them
sontiders himself fully equal to the

From the Boston Transcript.
The grass is green and the nesting
Of birds that build in the tree is
heard:
The wind bears the scent of the soil
along
From fields which the pillow has late
ly stirred.
Soft sunbeams slant Ger the shelving
banks
With kiss of love for the stream be-
low:
And, marshaled near, in their crowd
ing ranks
The swaying stems of the cat-tails
grow.
One cloud climbs the sky 'Tis a good
ship bound
For the distant ports of another
A breeze brings breath of the dreamy
OF water that back from her prov is
curled.
A hawk sails high in the hazy blue,
Which seems to open above the pond
From a land which lies but a step
beyond.
Such days will dawn in the dim to be.
And l shall remember or half recall
How my slumberous soul was stirred
in me
To-day by the beauty that covered
all.
How 1 came to feel that the world 1
knew
Was only the place where 1 paused
for breath.
For eompleter things that the soul
should do
In the larger living made mine by
death.
So lie full length on grassy mound,
1 crowd me close to the soft green
sod,
And joy in the beauty of all around;
The beauty of earth, the glory of
God.

standpoint, is undoubtedly better than

And so, it seems we are to have
another royal visitor, the Prince of
Wales, and possibly still a third in
the person of the Queen of Italy.
Prince Henry of Prussia may have
started a fashion that will become a
fad in Europe. The Prince of Wales
will of course be given cordial well

forty-two years ago. Wales, by the
way, is said to resemble his cousin,
Prince Henry, in such marked de-

impression in this country as Henry
did, he will be fortunate.
