TOPICS OF THE TIMES

The Omaha Bee observes that
Grover Cleveland sees no reason to
reject presidential nomination that he
knows is beyond reach" Wait until
the Bryanites meet IN Iowa with sew
eral more nails for his political coffin
lid, and that far-away look will not
even have halo.
Congressman ridicule the attempt of
the Standard Oil Company to control
legislation. But they should watch all
the corners.
A young woman organist in Mon
treal church was very anxious to make
a good impression on visiting clergy
man by her playing one Sunday. The
organ was pumped by an obstreperous
old sexton, who would often stop when
he thought the organ voluntary had
lasted long enough. This day the or
eanist was anxious that all should go
we'll. and as the service was about to
begin she wrote a note, intended solely
for the sections eye. He took 1t, and.
in spite of her anxious beckonings,
carried 1t straight to the preacher.
What was his establishment when he
read: "Oblige me, this morning, by
blowing away till l give you the sigma.
to stop. Miss Allen.
Senator Deliver will bring up FRI
day and attempt to secure the passage
of the house bill to permit Iowa author
tiles to control liquor shipped into the
state. The brewers hope to defeat it.
An amusing story is told of New
England minister who often speaks in
behalf of a certain charity in which he
is greatly Interested. He has /, a fine
voice and graphic way of telling in
cidents both humorous and pathetic, so
that his hearers are often moved to
laughter or to tears" At the close of
che meeting. at which he had spoken
with great effect, and a large gain for
the charity had been the, direct result, a
little old lady approa ched the minister.
"Oh," she said, earnestly, I've been sc.
interested in hearing about those poor,
dear children! And ] suppose great
many of those stories you told are real
ly true, aren't they?"

terminng effect on the success of the

THE TRUST IN FOR IT.

The bill creating the new department
of commerce which has passed both
houses. as indicated in last evenings
dispatches, and now awaits the sigma
ture of the president, not only creates a
new branch of government, with a new
cabinet officer, but 1t enacts very i'm
portant anti-trust legislation that
makes it more conspicuous in publis
thought just now than any other fea-
ture of it. 1t embodies Attorney Cen
eral Knox's ideas on publicity for in
dustrial corporations.
The antitrust feature referred to-
and known as the Nelson amendment
mission of corporations, whose duty it
shall be to gather statistics regarding
the financial operations and the or
ganization of Industrial corporations.
The INFORMATION so gathered is to be
solely for the use OF the president of
the United States to guide him in his
messages to congress, and in taking
proper legal steps against corporations
which may be violating the rules of
trade or endeavoring to establish mo-
nopolies. The commissioner of corpo-
rations is to have practically the same
authority over industrial corporations
as the interstate commerce commission
now has over transportation companies.
This measure practically takes the
place of the Littlefield bill and renders
Its enactment unnecessary. 1t will
without doubt meet the wellsknown
views of the president.

Military Activity.
Minneapolis Tribune.1
There is more general activity in mi

There is more general activity in mil
itary circles of the United States than
there has been since the Spanish
American war. All the gun shops and
arsenals are hard at work, the coast ar
tillery stations are full of energy and
the whole army staff is hustling with
lively orders and rapid execution. There
is nearly as much hustle in this peace
full country as there is in the nations
affected by the coming outbreak in
Macedonia If we were going on the
war basis, there would hardly be more
stir about the war department and its
various supply agencies.
All this stir has not the least con-
nection with the Venezuelan blockade
or the Anglo-German alliance. 1t is
just the result of congressional legisla-
ton to organize the national guard as
a reserve for the regular army. The
militia bill provides for arming and
equipping the guard exactly like the
regular troops. This requires a great
many more guns and equipments, and
the armories are busy getting them out.
Then that bill provides that the ma
tional guard is to go into summer en-
calnpment with the regular troops, and
the war department is preparing for
that. The secretary has created new
militia division of the adjutant general
department. which will have these
things in charge. On passage of the
general staff bill, which is expected
soon, it will be possible to make the
new organization more complete and
effective.
The practical effect of all this Is to
more than double the strength or the
American army. Under the present law
the regular forces could be quickly
raised by enlistment to 100000 men.
This militia law provides a reserve of
more than 100000 national guards,
armed, equipped and trained Ike reg
ulars, who can be called out as state
troops for domestic service, or turned
in a few days into volunteers for for
eign service. All this was under way
before THE Venezuela blockade occurred.
1t is only coincidence that our mill
tary activity is simultaneous with that.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

In regard to RocEefeller's act. the
Burlington Hawkeye considers it sim
ply amazing that man of such ability
regardless of any moral view. could
commit q desd that would so surely
react upon him disastrously." The
Hawkeye believes the dispatch to con-
gressmen must have been sent by an
employe.
The Iowa City Citizen regards 1t as
an open secret that the great aggrega-
tons of capital are doing all in their
power to defeat President Roosevelt for
nomination.
The Montezuma Democrat thinks
there are many. indications that the
German star is rising"
The Des Moines Capital declares the
tax ferret's mission is commendable
one, and we trust that he will never
awake to find his occupation gone go
long as there is sneaking tax dodger
left in any community"
Referring to political machines in
the Fourth district the Northwood An
Choir says I'VE know nothing of any
new machine organized to control
Fourth district congressional politics
but we do know tina. there was ma
chine here a few years ago under the
management of Blythe ct al. that was
quite to the liking OF the Usage News.
That was as corrupt machine as ever
attempted to run. II 1t be true that
Mr.. Haugen has organized new ma
chine in his own interests, and has
complete control of 1t, the people are to
be congratulated, If for no other reason
than that 1t will keep the old 'machin-
lists in the background. Congressman
Haugen can be trusted to deal fairly
and honorably by The republicans OF
the district"

COAL SUPPLY INCREASING.

Many localities III the nation hav4
grown cheerful over the feeling that
the worst phases Of the fuel famine
have been passed, and that as spring
approaches and the supply of anthra-
cite increases there will be less dis
tress.
Minneapolis is one of the localities
referred to. Hard coal is selling In that
city now at $40 ton. Anthracite IS
reaching that point more freely than at
any time since the close of the. strike,
and dealers believe that all danger of a
serious famine is over.
1t is true that the rush for hard coal
is not so eager as y would have been
had this coal been available few
weeks ago. Those who clamored for
anthracite in December and January,
being eventually compelled to content
themselves with bituminous COAL
have, in many instances. found that the
latter may be burned with much less
Inconvenience than had been supposed,
and this class is no longer worrying
itself about hard coal.
Hundreds of furnaces that have been
fed with hard coal in The past will burn
the better grades of Unanimous coal IN
the future. househol6ers having learned
Of necessity that which might other

all rail anthracite in transit, In amounts
VARYING from ten to loo cars. The rul-
ing price will in all probability be sl'
until spring.
Other sections of the nation are being
supplied in limited quantities. me
chief difficulty is in securing shipmen'
of the coal from the mines in the west.
This will continue to be the great DIM
Guilty, thus limiting the amount 70 DC
obtained by the consumer to the mini
mum. But the consumer grows more
cheerful as spring approaches.

legal in all cases. When Lincoln arose

The first regular passenger and
freight train made the run over the
new railroad between Dallas and
Falls City yesterday. Track-laying
was completed about 80 days ago, and
