STILL GROWING.

There has been a pretty general i'm
preston all along that the Billion Dol
lar Steel Corporation would soon COL
lapse on account of it's own bigness,
but instead of collapsing it is growing
all the time. 1t was announced a day
or two ago that it had purchased the
Union Steel Company of Sharon and
Donora, Pa. for which it gave $45.-
100000. And it is spending many mill
lions of dollars in improving its vari-
Gus plants.
There has never been much confidence
In the stock of this great corporation.
The reason probably is that from the
start it was thought to be overcapital-
lied to the extent of fully $500, 900 OO0
StilI 1t is undoubtedly earning divi-
dends upon all of its stock-big divi-
dens--and the impression prevails that
unless disaster overtakes it, its COM
mon stock will pay for itself in diyi-
dends in about three or four years
that is at the present price of the stock.
The low price Of the COM
mon stock shows what the es-
innate of the public is of
its intrinsic value. Still, it may turn
out that there is full value behind every
dollar of the stock. 1t will take several
more dividends. however, to convince
the public of that.

CHILD LABOR NORTH AND SOUTH.

CHILD LABOR NORTH AND SOUTH.
In an editorial article under the
above caption the New York Evening
Post says: Zone Of the most effective
appeals to prejudice made by the
Southern defenders of this system
(child labor is to sectional jealousy.
Every criticism from a Northern
newspaper is used by the mill owners
to shield their iniquitous proceedings.
It is represented that the North is
again meddling in matters that do
not concern it, and the statement is
frequently made that New England
should set it's own house in order"
There is no doubt truth in this, but,
as a matter of fact, why is it that the
North does not set it's own house in
order before trying TO set that of the
South in order? Until very recently
the articles appearing in the Northern
papers on the child labor question,
were, as a rule, entitled child labor
in the South" Now, here and there
in that section, a newspaper entities
its child labor articles, child labor
North and South" The fact that the
iniquity for which they condemn the
South so strongly exists to an alarm
ing extent in the North seems to be
finding a Judgement in their minds.
II the newspapers in the South were
continually finding fault with the
North for permitting children of ten
der years to be employed in mills,
there would be some excuse for the
course pursued by the newspapers at
the North-that is for condemning
child labor in the South only.
And why is it that the Northern
newspapers are continually nagging
the South in the matter of child labor
while the evil goes on under their
very noses? Is it not because the
competitor of the South is making it
hard for Northern mill owners to earn
dividends? If it is not that, it must
be ignorance. II ignorance, why have
they informed themselves so well in
respect to this child labor evil as it
exists in the South and have neglect
ed to inform themselves in regard to
it as it exists in the North?
A day or two ago the members of
the Coal Strike Commission were
shocked by testimony showing that
little girls are employed in silk mills
of Pennsylvania from 6 o'clock in the
evening until o'clock in the morning,
for the small compensation of three
and half to five and a half cents an
hour. And during the whole of the
twelve hours they are required to be
on their feet. Such testimony as that
is what is causing the Northern news
papers to change the headline of their
child labor articles to Child labor
North and South"
The Southern newspapers are doing
what they can to bring about a re-
form in this matter, and there are
signs that they will eventually sue
coed. If the Northern newspapers
were to bring about reform of the
evil in their own section before under
taking to reform it in the South, their
efforts in behalf of reformation in the
South would be much more appreci-
ated and far more effective.

How Blind Man makes Change,

There is colony of business men
and women up on North Clark street
who conduct business in a peculiar
manner, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Not far from Goethe street a man who
is almost blind runs a cigar stand. OF
course, it isn't every man who has
the right change when he buys a ci-
gar, and often bill is deposited upon
the counter. The dealer is unable IA
distinguish IS from a 81 bill, but he
is shrewd, and whenever his hands
come in contact with a bill he pushes
out ninety cents if the man buys a
ten-cent cigar.
But that is a five" says the GUS
toner.
Sure enough" answers the dealer.
and there is genuine establishment i'm
his voice. II beg your pardon" Then
he takes roll of bills from his pocket
that is filed with pins.
Some of them have two pins in them.
while others have five and ten.
What are those pins in there for?'
Is the natural query.
IF prick myself five times / know
that il is a s. BILL" says the dealer.
IL Is his only way of telling.

Making Love over the Wire,

Il don't know whether people fall in

said the man who used to run a store
in an interior village, according to the
Detroit Free Press. ''but in my time
there was a good deal of romance be-
hind the hello l had my share of
it. One day l got new voice over
the wire from a town a few miles away.
1t was woman's voice and / imme-
diately fell in love with it. I got to

a good deal of romance in it, 1 was

folk in town get on to my little racket,
and nobody suspected anything when
/ started off one day to lay my heart
at the unknown's feet. About all I
knew of her was that she was single.
l pictured to myself girl of about
20, with chestnut hair, dark blue eyes,
handsome teeth and peach cheeks, and
l meant she should say yes before I

MoRGAN's COLONIZATION SCHEME.

Senator Tillman says that Senator
Morgan is trying to get Congress to
take notice of his scheme to colombo
the negroes of this country in the
Philippines. Senator Morgan seems
to think that if a movement of the
negroes to those islands were once be-
gun it would soon assume enormous
proportions, and would eventually
solve the race problem.
Senator Tillman thinks this colonial
ton scheme is an old mans dream
and that it contains no possibilities
worth considering. And he is right.
There isn't the remotest probability
that the negroes will be colonized in
the PHILIPPINES. They don't want to go
there, and they couldn't make a 'liv-
ing for themselves if they did go. Be
sides, it is a pretty safe proposition
that they wouldn't be acceptable to
the Fiipinos. The negro may not be
Objectionable to the Filipino now, but
it is a safe prediction that he would
be by the time a few hundred thou
sands of his race became inhabitants
OF the islands.
Senator Tillman ridicules the idea
Of colonizing them in the Philippines.
According to his view, supposing they
would go, it would practically bank
rupt the country to send and establish
them there. Besides being transported
they would have to be taken care of
until they were in a position to take
care of themselves. A big percentage
of them would not make an effort to
earn living as long as a government
ration was in sight.
Senator Morgan's scheme will do
well enough to talk about in the alb
sence of anything more important, but
1t can be considered as settled that
the effort to colonize the negroes in
the Philippines will never be made.

COMPETITION CHECKED.

According 10 the annual report of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which was made on Wednesday.
the tendency to consolidation is
the most significant feature of
the railway situation. The commits
sion complains that the control of all
of the railroads of the country is in
comparatively few hands. and that
consequently competition is practically
checked, Having checked competition
the railroads are now putting up rates.
The strange thing is that the COM
mission should complain about a con-
dition which every thoughtful man
foresaw a long time ago. When COM
petition began to be so fierce that one
railroad after another was going into
the hands of receivers, leading rail-
road men went to Congress and asked
for the privilege of pooling railroad
earnings. Congress, under the pres
sure of the great shippers, whose inter
est it was to play the railroads against
each other, refused. Then the railroads
began consolidating to protect them
selves against bankruptcy.
Where there are so many railroads
as there are in this country COMPETE
tition isn't a good thing for railroads,
or the people, because it means ruin,
eventually to the roads and unequal
and unstable rates for shippers.
The railroads have been consolidated,
and they will remain consolidated.
There isn't any doubt about that. The
question which now presents itself is
this: How can the consolidated cor
poration be prevented from depressing
the people? 1t isn't a question of de-
stroying railroad trusts now, il is a
question of controlling them.
There isn't any doubt that Congress
has the power to supervise and con-
troll them. And in order to exercise
its power the constitution will not have
to be stretched in the least. The state
commissions will provide for local
rates and the Interstate Commission
ought to provide for interstate rates.
The commissions, working together,
ought to give the people all the protec-
ton against the railroads they need.
There is no doubt there is need for
legislation along the line suggested,
and the need is imperative. 1t is not
probable there will be legislation of
the kind needed at this session, but
there ought to be.

Some soldiers of fortune in Montana
have raised a company to go to Vene-

stop these Western adventures from
