not order an election for Coroner

weeks ago, to meet an emergency
where the sheriff could not serve

The Water That Has Passed.

Inc water mat has Passed.
Listen to the water-mill
Through the live-long day,
How the clanking of the wheels
Wears the hours away!
Languidly the autumn wind
StirS The greenwood leaves:
From the fields the reapers sing,
Binding up the SheaveS;
And tn proverb haunts my mind,
AS spell is cast:
THE mill will never grind
With the water that has passed."
Take the lesson to thyself,
Loving hearts and true;
Golden years are fieeting by,
Youth is passing too;
Learn to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day;
Time will never bring thee back
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid,
Love while life shall last
THE mill will never grind
With the water that has passed."
Work while the daylight shines,
Man of strength and will;
Never does the streamlet glide
Unless by the mill.
Wait not till to-morrow'S sun
Beams upon the way;
All hat thou canSt call thy own
Lies in thy to-day.
Power, intellect and health
May not. cannot last;
THE mill will never grind
With the water that has passed"
Oh, the wasted hours of life
That have drifted by!
Oh, the good we might have done,
Lost without sigh.
Love that we might once have saved
By single word;
Though conc lived, but never penned,
Peri hing heard.
Take the proverb to inc heart
Take! oh, hold it fast!
THE mill Will never grind
With the water that has passed."

orally In that region the bill does not
scare worth a cent Sensible men rec
ogn1ze the necessity 1ef making the ma
tional guard organizations available to
the government in time Of war, as
auxiliary to the regular organization. The
constitution so provides, but never until
this year has a measure been devised and
enacted for the full carrying out by con-
gress Of the terms of. the constitution
which were approved by such good demo-
Gratis as James Madison. The present law
provides that the federal government
shall furnish arms and equipment to the
organized militia Of the regulation pat
term, and that the tactical organization
shall be the same a S that OF the regular
army. and the militia will have the ad-
vantage of participating in the annual
encampments of the regulars. If q gov
ernor OF state chooses, he can prevent
the taking part Of his states militia in the
periodical joint camps of instruction. No
lawful state functions are impaired or in
terfered with.
The position Of the "ancient and
honorable Norfolk Blues" is excessively
puerile and greatly disadvantageous to
their organization. It Is not patriotic,
either, and the example will hardly be
followed by many southern militia or
ganizations.

MERGERS and Competition.

It is a fair inference from the state
ments of Minneapolis weekly that the
invasion Of merger territory by the 500
is a result of the merger. Presumably
then, if the 500 could have been Included
in the merger, of which there appeared to
be consider able danger at one time, the
air would have been black by this time
with flying dirt where new roads were
being constructed and every farmer IN
the northwest would have had a railroad
at his back door. In the words of our
contemporary, Lets talk sense The
merger, or community Of interests, has
effectually shut off rivalry-just this kind
of rivalry that the 500 opposes to the
merger-between the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern, and there is left only
the competition Of the 500. That compe-
tition may force the merger roads to: do
things for the public that they would not
otherwise do, but the merger is no more
responsible for it than it is responsible
for a change of the moon. Natural COM
petition and business rivalry have covered
the middle west with railroads and paral-
|
gers didn't do it, and it isn't reasonable
to suppose that railroads associated as
are the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern are going to compete unneces-
sarily against each other. A man doesn't t
take money out of one pocket and put it
in the other and imagine that he is get
ting richer by the process There will
be no rivalry between the Northern Pa
cifc and the Great Northern because there
is no inducement. But as to competition
between these two roads and the 500
that would naturally follow, merger or no
merger, till the merger, carried to its log
| ical conclusion as good thing, includes
| the 500; and it is pure assumption and
nothing else to say that the rivalry be-
! tween the 500 and the merger roads is
any more lively that it would have been
between the 500 and these roads as sep
| arate institutions ~, .s,5'. =

Undigested Securities.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
since J. Pierpont Morgan referred to Ger
tain "undigested securities" has investi-
market generally, and discovered some
impressive facts: - =
The 'undigested securities" of course
are those securities which have not been
absorbed by investors or spectators, and
it is shown that not less than $500, 900, 900
of these are stsill unmarketed So far this
year the known large issues of new secur-
tiles aggregate $403, 200 and the pros
pective issues amount to 1854, 900, while
foreign loans and security issues aggre-
gate s524, 100000, making a total of $1791,- :
757, 900, exclusive of the smaller opera
tions
The railway and industrial capital issues
nicipal bonds $50, 200 and Philippine 4
per cent notes $3,0OO,00O. OF course, a
large amount of authorized securities
will not be issued as a number of new
corporations may not attain practical ex-
istence, but it is estimated that. making
| 100000 of new capital for corporations
organized this year. The large amount of
! "undigested securities is due to the pal
pable fact that there have been too
many new Issues Too many securities
are offered and too many of the issues
represent speculative enterprises. Loans
| on collateral securities representing indus
| trial enterprises Of this kind reduce the
supply Of money for legitimate business
purposes; and conservative bankers are
not inclined to aid in floating speculative
industrial securities. The treasury depart
ment cannot be charged with injuriously
boarding money. as truthfully as can the
banks which have contributed to the
financing Of corporate undertakings of q
speculative character. Railway and mu-
nicipal improvements of a necessary char
acter, and government loans, demand pre-
cedence over such undertakings, but, il
too much 1oanab1e money is put in in-
dustrials, the stringency will compel the
adjournment of the relief of the former
class of legitimate borrowers. The new

It Is Dreadful!

"A Washington dispatch conveys the dis
tressing intelligence that the Norfolk
Blues, an ancient and honorab ble'' mill
accept the provisions Of the Dick military
bill because it will place the militia or
ganizations "at the beck and call of the
federal government"
Imagine the straits the federal govern
ment would experience, if the "ancient
and honorable Norfolk Blues should, on
a call for troops in case of war by the
federal government, refuse to respond.
Could the federal government meet the
clash Of arms without the support Of the
ancient and honorable Norfolk Blues?"
Perish the thought! Verify, the outlook is
very blue.

Virginia colonels generally, suggests that
there is much strength in the Virginia

constitutional convention in 1882 showed
that many Virginia statesmen, when the
clause relating to the calling out Of the
militia was reached, got up and paved the
air, metaphorically speaking, in their in
dignation over granting such dangerous
power 1t was in vain that Mr.. Madison
declared that the government must have
power to put down instructions and have
force enough to fight foreign enemies, and
the best way to accomplish this was to put
the militia on q good footing, and enable
the government to make use of their
services when necessary. Mr. George
Mason declared that such power would
produce dreadful oppression; take from
the state governments what divine
providence has given to every individual
the means of defense Mr.. Clay as
serted that it would lead to the establish

In view Of the further exposition of the
merger decision by Assistant Attorney
General Beck, published in this paper,
there doesn't seem to be much left for
mergerites to do but to be good. If obe-
dience to- the law proves to be such a bad
thing for the public, if the law against
trusts is really a mistake, as some Of the
merger apologists would have us believe,
then the people can have their lawmakers
repeal the law and give kind and benevo-
lent monopoly free rein to work out its
philanthropic schemes for an appreciative
and ::ungrateful public.
