to a speech Of Mr.. Williams, OF N1issis-
sippi, last week on the subject OF the
tariff. In conclusion, he warned his side
of the House that the people would hold
the Republican party responsible after

man OF the Democratic Congressional
Committee defended at some length. the
figures OF the Democratic campaign book
relative to the tariff and trusts.
Mr.. Williams. Of Mississippi. replied to
Mr.. Sibley. He raised a general laugh
at Mr.. Sibley's expense. when he attrib-
uted the latter's skill as a debater to
his practice in turn In the Popullst,

NEW YORK, February Authorization
from semi-odicial sources to-day shows
that an alliance or agreement OF some
sort has boon entered into between the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Rail
ways on tho ono hand. and the Rock
Island Railway. on the other hand.
Just what stage the negotiations have
reached or the character Of the alliance
arc matters OF conjecture as yet, as none
Of the principals interested are willing to
go Into details. Tho matter has been
under negotiation for some time, and most
Of the important points have been agreed
on An official announcement Is looked
for In few days.
SOMETHING IN WIND.
An official Of the Rock Island Company,
after comforting with Daniel Reid. said
there was some thing in the wind. Presl-
dent Leeds, OF the Rock Island. Is now
In the West, but Is expected back shortly.
Messrs. Reid and Leeds are reported to
have represented the Rock Island Com
pany, together with ex-Judge Moore, in
the company's negotiations with Union
and Southern Pacific interests. Judge
Moore Is president OF the Rock Islands
Finance Committee.
BACKED BY THE BANK.
It Is a matter OF common belief in
Wall Street that the parties now In con-
troll of Rock Island are being backed by
the First National Bank; in fact, one
or moro officials OF that institution, In
Guiding Vce-President Francis L. Hine.
are represented IN the Rock Island direc-
tory. The First National is one Of the
several so-called Morgan banks. Kuhn,
Loeb and Company are the fiscal repre-
sentatives OF practically all the Hartman
properties, SO that any deal between
Rock Island and the leading Paciflcs
must inevitably involve closer under
standing between what have at tim es
been somewhat hostile interests

THE MULTIMILLIONAIRE.

In considering the problem of the multimillion- aire," says the London Mail, i've are able to share neither MT. Goldwin smiths alarm nor the predatory optimism of Mir. Stead.
 If the government of nation were to fall into the hands of very few very rich men, the evils of monopoly, corruption and injustice would doubt less appear and provoke the andote of wrathful re- taliation. But we see no sign of the Americans or of any other people placing their nscks under the heel of the capitalist and unless the people are mostly fools. as Carlyle has it, the monopolists will never be supreme.
 "It is probably the American habit of thinking in continents which conjures up these visions of dreadful danger. arising from the fabulous fortunes of apochrypha puocrats There is still truth in the old saying Three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves meaning that man makes money for his children to spend and his grandchildren squan der. The chief trouble of the modern millionaire is to find outlets for his money but his heirs seldom encounter much difficulty in that direction. The spectacle have not yet is that of one of such great estates as that Of Mir. Rockefeller-conssting of oil wells, ships, railways and hundred other thngs-kept together for generation after the foun der dies and managed efficiently by body of drsc- tors or a board of trustees.
 "The essential stimulus which makes the fortune is ambition and the desire of power and then the joy of adding million unto million. The fierce delights of victory and power would be unknown to the sala- ried board of trustees Would they succeed in meas ure equal to that of the original millionares So- ciasts contend that the selfish stimulus is not sary to high efficiency that people would not sacken or go slow if the indictment of personal gain removed. Mutimllionares have shown u. the way to organize business and to conduct indus tries with the minimum of waste and expense In watching the fate of their vast fortunes in hands, their growth or disposal may find dead multi millionaire nearly as interesting living one. And shall fear neither. The resources of civiliza- tion not exhaustsd.''

POSSIBILITIES OF RADIUM.

Radium, the mineral which is attracting much attention in the scientific world is graysh white in color, very similar to salt It burns carrv it. The possibilities of radum are enormous scientific exchange commenting upon the subject gives the following suggestions as to the outcome of this new discovery:
 "The transmutation of metals (the making of gold no less) solving the problem of light without heat the perfection of wireless communication the cure of certain phases of blindness sources of heat and, since it would that there is, after all but substance in the world (which appears to our untutored sense to various forms merely be- cause each form contains special number of par. tcles to the aom) chemistry may undergo such a rejuvenation will result in the most unheard- -oi discoveries.
 'Already an hypothesis has been worked out to the effect that the emanatons from radum and kin dred substances par with the rays which go to make up the aurora borealis. It is, in fact thought quite possible that the aurora is merely cathode on Rontgen rays gigantic scale, and the phenomenon of Rontgen rays is analogous to that radium rays Out of this has come the suggestion
 that may soon be able to predict weather changes with greater accuracy than heretofore. The bearing of the discovery astronomical speculation also i.
 important"
The Nome nugget., 1903-12-09

The wise man of the Knoxville Sentinel says that "the man who keeps all his faculties alert and who loves his own work for that work g sake, usually succeeds. In such case his arduous occupation does not tire him. It isn't drudgery, and he makes progress in it. For tunate the man who can say his work is his pleasure. If he must seek other things for diversion he is in a bad way. True he should have change, as the mind will better apply itself to the usual task if that be 80, but the work should be done for works sake.
