A Panacsa for Populism.

st. Paul dispatch in the New
~ York Times conveys the grati-
4 ~ flying information that the
= harvest yields in Minnesota
and the Dakotas, In spite of the cold
spring and wet summer, are exceeding
all expectations. Heavy rains and
snow in March, followed by rain and
dePtructive hail and wind storms al
ninst daily up to Aug. l, with an un-
uspally low temperature during this
pfiod, upset all calculations of the
fsfmers. Seeding was delayed for
weeks, and large area that was in
tendedofOr wheat was seeded to other
giSins. while thousands of acres OF
land have lain fallow for the reason
that itswas impossible to work in the
fialds. There has also been trouble
with grasshoppers, rust and Hessian
nv
These conditions explain why the
harvest is not record breaker But
II appears to be ample, nevertheless. A
conservative estimate of the wheat
yield of the three states places 1t at
17s,OO0,0O0 bushels, at least $1,000, 600
bushels below maximum. Oats, how
ever, go to lO0,OOOOOo bushels, or lO,-
100000 bushels more, than IN the banner

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

When Rosie came to town.
The sun shone bright and men got tight,
Awaiting for the train,
To bring the one who with his gun
Put Spaniards on the wane;
The band 1t play'd. the mob 1t bray'd:
Dewey! Manila Bay!
While cars were jam'd and coppers fan'd
The Kids who were too gay.
When Rosie came to town.
The streets were pack'd and all they
lack'd.
On that eventful day.
Were soldiers blue and sailors true,
To see his Niblets throu'.
But when 1t came, Oh. what shame,
No Dewey was in view,
But one whose phizz resembled his
Step'd off with Rosie, too.

a N INTERESTING object les
~ son in modern finance has
& y recently excited comment in
the circle of speculation. If
published reports are true, it is likely
to excite more before it becomes a
closed chapter.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad company has capital of
$75,0O0,O 900 and owns 1000 miles of track.
The directors in the Rock Island also
control a number of smaller railway
properties, mostly feeders. The aggre-
gate mileage of these subsidiary prop
critics is 5000. These roads did not be-
long to the Rock Island; they were
carried under other corporate names,
Island properties in effect, and it is the
general belief that most of them were
purchased with Rock Island money.
Not long ago new Napoleon of
finance" one Judge Moore, formerly an
obscure Chicago lawyer whose first in
ganization of the Diamond Match COM
pany, one Of the first of the big trusts,
conceived the idea of uniting the main
Rock Island property with it's fila
ments, and to this end he, with others
organized a new company, with Jer-
sey charter, and with double the capi-
talization of the old, to "buy" in the
old company. Every holder of 10(
shares of old stock may exchange for
70 shares of new preferred, 100 COM
mon and $4,000 in collateral trust
bonds. The new preferred has a guar
anteed dividend Of per cent. for the
first seven years, then per cent. fol-
the next seven years and thereafter il
becomes per cent. stock.
To the common beholder this whole
plan looks like a scheme to double
capitalization without substantially in.
creasing values. The authorities of the
state of Iowa do not hesitate to asser,
that 1t looks to them like an attempt
at wholesale imitation. and Governor
CumminS has ordered his attorney
general to make diligent inquiry con.
cerning the possibility of interposine
legal opposition to the completion OF
the so-called merger. 1t is possible, OF
course, that the public has heard only
one side Of this case. AS in the case
of the Northern Securities company
there may be reasons for the merger
which do not reveal themselves on the
surface. But if the facts are as stated
In the published versions there is goot
call for intervention by the state OF
Iowa and increased argument for 6
modification Of our corporate laws 81
as to increase the protection which
they afford to honest investment b,
putting halter on stock watering.

year, 1898. Flax Is the big crop, and
will make up for the shortage Of wheat
While this grain will not all mature, II
is estimated that the yield will be 100
per cent. greater than a year ago. The
early rains, which prevented wheat
planting, made 1t necessary to plant a
late crop, and farmers turned their
attention to flax. Again, hundreds Of
thousands OF acres OF new land were
brought under cultivation by the vast
number of farmers that settled in the
Dakotas last year, and this was plant
ed to fax as the only crop that will
yield a profit on sod. The estimate
allows a total yield of 44,0OO,000 BUSH
els, which in value will almost equal
the wheat crop. In the neighborhood
Of TO,00O,o0O bushels Of corn are looked
for.
Taking current prices as the stand
ard of appraisal, this harvest promises
to put into the farmers pockets the
following sums.
IT'S oOo. 900 bushels of wheat at soc $50 900 900
4400O,0OO bushels of fax at $1.25.. 81. .0OO 600

6I0OO, 0c0 bushels of corn at 35c.. =. 20, ,450 900
1o,oOG,00O bushels Of barley at 30c. 100000
IOtal s....................... VIZ, 4oOOOU
Says the dispatch in the Times: ut
is quite likely that this entire product
will bring to the farmer 10 per cent.
more money than the prices at which
these estimates are made. The quo
tations are below the market price for
any of the grains during the past year.
and there appears to be no good rea-
son why they should during the next
year reach so low a figure. In addition
to the above products of the farm 9TH
er grains, hay, potatoes. vegetables,
live stock, and fruit must be TAX
EN- into consideration, as well as
the dairying interests, the aggre-
gate of which, it Is declared, can
safely be set down at s1Oo, 900, 900, bring
ing the grand total that will be real
lied this year by the farmers Of these
three states UP to about 5000, ,000, ,00O."
This will prove an effective panacea
| for Populism.

menace to life, although
Il quite general, has, if we may
believe a recently issued bull
ietin of the United States weather bu-
reau, very little warrant. Lightning is
| a menace to property, but the conclu-
| carefully compiled statistics, Is that it
is a good deal safer to sit under tree
in a severe draught during the widest
| thunderstorm than to travel twenty
| five miles on the best railway train
ever constructed.
The bulletin covers an observation
period of eleven years, during which
time every reported case of death or
physical injury by lightning was in
vestigated. The average turned out to
be only 2.53 deaths annually per unit
area Of 10000 square miles, an area
more than twenty-three times that Of
| Lackawanna county. Take, for in
stance, the year 1900. Seven hundred
and thirteen people We're killed or re-
ceived fatal injuries during the year.
OF this number 219 persons We're killed
in the open. 1853 in houses, 81 under
stances attending the death of the re-
naming 151 are not known. Nine hun
dred and seventy-three persons We're
more or less injured by lightning stroke
during the year. OF this number 1927
persons received their injuries while in
| IN in, hor
20 under trees. The circumstances at
tending the injury of the remaining 317
cases are not known. Compare this
with a record Of railway accidents for
the same year, or with the number of
violent deaths which resulted naturally
and one occupations to which men and
women daily go, unthinking and happy,
and you will see why lightning is a
comparatively negligible quantity in
accident insurance.
Although there is more danger in a
trical storm, 1t by no means follows
that the tree is the best place of shell
ter. On the contrary, most of the
deaths are in groups of persons huddled
together at the foot of tree, around
the base of a haystack or near some
other upright object. The bulletin thus
explains why: up to certain point
the air is able to resist the stress in il
due to the electrification Of the cloud
mass. Whenever the stress passes a
certain limit, which may be called the
breaking point, the air gives way; liter
ally it Is cracked from cloud to earth
like piece of glass as the bolt de-
scends. While human foresight is able
to say approximately when a fash will
occur, 1t cannot say where the air will
give way first. The zone of danger Is
In general co-equal with the area of the
storm cloud. Almost any Upright OBJ
ject in this area Is better conductor
than the air in which it stands"
The saying that no one can tell where
lightning will strike next. while true
literally, Is true only in minute detail
1t Ia now possible to tell In advance
where a thunderstorm will develop. A
young Jesuit priest of Cleveland. o,
Father Odenbach. has invented deli.
cate machine, called the ceraunograph
which will detect the approach Of ar
electrical storm when 1t is long dis.
tance away, He has issued warnings
three hours in advance of the arrival OF
the storm, which Is amply sufficient tc
enable any timid person to hunt cell
