A Great Confidence Game.

Frick had some trouble and Andy
gave Henry an option on the steel
works at Pittsburg Gin which they
were both Interested at 5000, 900, 900.
Henry could not raise the cash and
Andy pocketed the 100000 which
Henry had paid for the option.
Andy now proposed to build a huge
tube works at Conneaut, Ohio, to
compete with the works in which j.
P. Morgan was interested. Rather
than allow this competition, J. 2.
paid Andy $3OO,OOO,OO0 in bonds for
the Pittsburg property. j. P. gath
cred in the iron and steel business
and got ready to issue 5000, 1000 900
more bonds, or $5OO,OOO,OOO in all;
preferred stock for $500, OO0 900 and
common stock for 5000, 1000, thus
organizing the steel trust. This COM
mon stock was to be pure water-thin
air-blue sky.
J. p. then hired one John r. Keene
to help him market the truck. John
R., being something of a jockey, ran
up the price of the preferred stock
G per cent cumulative dividends)
to par, one hundred cents on the dol
lar, and the common a per cent?
up to fifty cents, and then told J. P.
+bo+ tho C,,oLorC r,oro rooJ- onJ he
would feed them on stocks as skilfully
as possible without getting them off
feed. J. P. ground out and John r.
fed until the price of the preferred
fell to sixty cents, the common to
twelve and a half, and somebody had
lost $4OO,OOO,OOO
Who lost this money? j. P. lost
part of it; that is, he had to reduce
the price to get the suckers to take
them. The suckers, otherwise known
as the get-rich-quick people, lost
most of it, for they gave J. P. good
money for blue sky.
The farmer has lost money in the
transaction, although he was not in
it at all. He has paid more for every
thing he bought containing iron or
steel in the way of high prices to
help John r. sell the blue sky. He
will lose more because his many Gus
toners, the get-rich-quick folks, hav-
ing paid out their good money for
truck, can not buy as much beef
and pork, wheat, and corn-meal. He
will try to get even by buying less
iron and steel, and this, while reduc-
ing the price, will throw the iaboring
men out of employment and then he
will get still less, all of which ex-
plains the old lesson that honest men
lose by booms and the rogues get
rich-for the time being.
Thrifty Andy in the meanwhile
builds castles in Scotland, libraries
in America, and may some time fore
close his mortgage and digest not
the indigestible securities, but j. P,
John R., and their crowd.-Wallace's

WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING AND
DISCUSSING.

&00 S0S OSA@S
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Discussion of the postal scandals
has been renewed by the publication
of the report, in abridged form, of
Assistant Postmaster General Bris-
tow. Whether there will be a con-
gressional investigation of the De-
partment; whether the results of the
present investigation will injure the
Republican Party, and whether Per
ry S. Heath will be asked to resign
his position as secretary of the Re-
publican National Committee, r
the main questions asked.
THE POSTAL SCANDAL.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania,
who is chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on P~ostofice and Post Roads,
has introduced a resolution author
izing his committee to request the
Postmaster General to submit to it
all the papers of the present investi-
cation, and also to carry out a furth-
er investigation itself, if necessary.
Senator Carmack also has demanded
an investigation by a Senate Com
mittee. The President is said to be
opposed to an investigation by Con-
gress, as it would force the govern
ment to reveal many facts which
would aid those who are now under
indictment. The Attorney-Ge General
is of the same opinion.
The report is supplemented by a
memorandum of the President in
which he praises the thoroughness of
Mr.. Bristow's work, declares that
everything will be done by the Ad-
ministration to punish all who have
defrauded the Department, and rec
ommends that the period of the
statute of limitations be extended to
five years in the case of government
employees. The Attorney General
will recommend to Congress the pas
sage of a law to this effect.
One of the most interesting por-
tions of the report is the statement
that the summary dismissal of form
er First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Heath would have been justified.
Mr. Heath is Secretary of the Repub-
lican National Committee, and his
resignation is demanded by many
members of the party. The fact,
that he is s~aved>from prosecution by
the statute of limitations, furnishes
political capital to the Democrats
and it is believed that he will be
asked to resign, if he does not do SO
on his own accord. As for the party
responsibility for the postal frauds.
the Republicans call attention to the
fact that the present investigation is
one of the most thorough ever made
and that of the one hundred and six
ty-thousand persons employed in the
postoffce service only ten have beer
indicted.

cans and Democrats. The RepubIi-
can "stand-patters" will point 70 +bo
decrease in the revenue as an aro,,.
ment against tariff revision, and tbo
Democrats will hold the other nar+v
responsible for the great increase IN
expenditures during the last few
vars, when the revenue derived from
a high tariff encouraged lavishness
and waste of the peoples money. AL
though not at all serious, the deficit
will be something unusual for the
United States.
THE PANAMA SITUATION,
President Roosevelt has sent the
Panama canal treaty to the Senate,
and it is now in the hands of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. It
will come up for discussion after
December 18th, when the Cuban bill
will have been voted upon. The
original document, signed by the
Junta is still on its way to Wash
ington. The latest interesting news
from the Isthmus is that Venezuela
is arming, so as to be prepared to
attack Colombia in case she declares
war against the United States, and
that Colombia has landed LOO
troops near the boundary of Panama
to march on the Isthmus.
Discussion of Panama affairs &C.
cupied one-third of the Presidents
message. In submitting the treaty
to the Senate, he said, "The question
now, therefore, is not by which route
the isthmian canal shall be built, for
that question has been definitely and
irrevocably decided. The question is
simply whether or not we shall have
an isthmian canal" He pointed out
that when Congress directed that ne
gotiations for the Panama canal
should be made with Colombia, the
essence of the order was not the gov
eminent which then controlled the
route but the route itself, so that in
negotiating with Panama the Pres
ident was carrying out the instruc-
tons of Congress.
After reciting the condition Of at
fairs which led up to the revolution
in Panama, he said "Under such cir
cumstances the government of the
United States would have been guilty
of folly and weakness, amounting IN
their sum to a crime against the Ma
ton, had it acted otherwise than 1t
did when the revolution of November
3rd last, too place in Panama. Inns
great enterprise of building the IN
teroceanic canal cannot be held up
to crafty the whims, Oh out OF re-
spect for the government impotence,
or to the even more sinister and evil
political peculiarities, of people VINO,
though they dwell afar of, YET
against the wish of the actual dWel :
lers on the Isthmus, assert an unreal RE-
supremacy over the territory. Inc
possession of a territory traugn'
with such peculiar capacities as INC 10
Isthmus in question carries Win u
obligations to mankind. The COURSE
of events has shown that this canal
cannot be built by private enterprise
-o, +bon orr own;

WHITECAPPERs AGAIN.

Jackson, June z. News has just
reached here of a recurrence of the
whitecapping outrages in Franklin and
Amite counties, and it seems that the
stern treatment dealt out to previous
offenders by the circuit courts has
not had a permanent effect.
In Franklin county negro named
Dillon, living in the Mccall Greek
neighborhood, was visited by the
whltecaps Saturday night, and fifty
shots were fired into the house2.
The inmates had narrow escapes from
being killed. Dillon was warned
about three weeks ago to leave the
neighborhod and failed to do SO.
In Amite county the whitecaps
visited a negro ON the Wilson place
with the intention of giving him a
thrashing, but the negro proved to be
too strong for his assaliants. He
wrenched himself from their grasp
and started to run, when one of the
party fired on him, and seven buck
shot took lodgment in the negro's
leg, and pistol ball cut across his
chin,

A FINE TEAM.

New York, June 1.-THE COM
mercial utility of wireless telegraphy
is an assured fact. 1t will take time
to adjust it to the every day needs of
the world, but the ultimate result is a
foregone conclusion. Thomas A.
Edison today thus expressed his con-
fidence in the future Of the wireless
telegraphy.
81 have made an alliance with
Marconi,' said the great inventor,
solely because believe in wireless
telegraphy, and am satisfied with its
destiny. There is no shadow of doubt
in my mind that in short time wire
less telegraphy will stand at the top
of the list of practical utilities.
am not in the prediction business.
Nevertheless I will say that one
year of hard labor will probably put
wireless telegraphy in complete COM
mercial harness The public must
understand that up to this time Mr..
Marconi has had all the work upon
his own shoulders. His supervision
was vitality essentia, at every point.
Nothing could be done anywhere
save under his personal direction. So
we have seen him racing back and
forth between this country and Europe,
experimenting there, constructing
here and bossing the stupendous job
at all points of the compass stimuli
taneously. The marvel is that he
pushed the work so far ahead single

FLOOD SITUATION AT KANSAS CITY
Is Bad Enough and Worst May Be Yet to
Come Business Is Suspended and the
Town and Suburbs Practically
Cut Off from the World.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 1.-The
desolate aspect of the food situation
here showed no improvements this
morning, except that the fires which
it was feared last night would spread
were put ont by the rain and the flood
itself.
So far as rail communication was
concerned the city was almost an
island. The only communication,
and that very uncertain, was by a
road running southeast.
Business all over the city was sus-
pended. Manufacturers on high
groud were compelled to slut down
on account of the almost shutting off
of the water supply. No street cars
were running, nor were any railroad
TRANS going to or from the city
north, west or south. The blockade
at the outlet to the southeast was so
severe that traffic in that direction
was practically at standstill.
Great anxiety is felt for the safety
of the people of Kanass City, Kan.
There has been no communication
with that city since yesterday and ex-
haustive efforts to get word from there
this morning failed of any results.
Five reporters who crossed the Kaw
river Yesterday before the flood had
become so serious, have not been
heard from since.
Telegraphic and telephone wires
north, south and west are down and
there were only few wires in shape
to do business east.
The river guage this morning
showed 80 feet, having risen from
307 during the night. This is nearly
nine feet higher than the previous
high record made in 1881. There was
eight feet of water in the union depot.
A great swirling lake, dotted with
floating cottages, trees telegraph poles
and other wreGkage, covers the low
land as far as the eye can reach.
Similar floating objects came rushing
down the Missouri river, some pos
sibly from Oklahoma.
The committees having in charge
the work of relief and rescue were busy
today, and a special meeting of the
city council was held during the fore
noon.
Thousands refugees at the conyen-
ton hall took their breakfast from
the liberal rations issued by the relief
committee.
The police have been ordered to
shoot at sight any one caught plum
dering.
The number of lives lost in this
