The Miller Feels Better.

From the millers standpoint, this is a
better world than it was a few days ago.
The old globe is beginning to@run as ne
would have it.
In his pessimisn of a few days ago he
took a club labeled "shut down. and gave
the railway manager such a crack over the
poll that it cured ethat individual of a
bad case of rate paralysis.
Then the blessed (for England) old prin-
ciple of free trade, asserted itself in the
British parliament and the duties that
John Bull has levied for a year on grain
and flour are abolished. ....-,. . -
Then up rose the interstate commerce
commission and swatted the railway
manager for high rates between Chicago
and New York. .--,s' r,
few days ago the miller was a worm
but still a worm with enough spiri
to turn. He will soon have what he
wants, and he is getting it pretty fast,

A Good Thing for the Town.

One of the best things the city council
of Minneapolis ever did was to decide
to pull down that conspicuous deface-,
lieve the landscape of that eyesore. The
conversion of the city hall site into a.
public square and the ornamentation of
it by erecting there the statue to the
Mississippi is an exceedingly important,
and it is to be hoped only the first step,
not only toward radical improvement in
that quarter of the city, but toward a
broad and generous scheme of municipal
decoration.
The erection of this statue on Bridge
square is fortunate for the reason that
the junction Of Hennepin and .Nicollet
avenues is destined to be permanently
the gateway of the city. Whatever new
commodations may be erected in the fu-
ture they are likely to be so placed as to
empty the incoming stream of arrivals
into that square. where the first impress
sions obtained from such beauty spot
and such a magnificent work of art can
not have other effect than one beneficial
to the whole city. There a stranger will
get his first idea of Minneapolis. 1t can
not be otherwise than pleasing, and to
the extent that the surrounding struc-
lures are improved or replaced by new
ones of superior duality, this impression
will be strengthened and the city will
benefit immensely. The aldermen have
done a wise thing in pulling down the
old city hall; they have done another wise
thing in granting permission for the
erection of this statue on that spot. =

fancy; before the age of two he was
paralyzed in his right leg. Later he had
a stroke or apoplexy, and on hearing OF
Byron's death he thought he saw his
friend before him. Michaelangelo wished
to commit suicide because he broke his
leg. The great Cardinal Richelieu had
fits Of insanity in which he figured him
self a horse. The philosopher Descartes
thought he was followed by an invisible
parsonage who urged him to pursue his
investigation after truth. Goethe saw the
image Of himself coming to meet him. 4

fore Cromwell when he was a school boy,

suffered from melancholia. Rosseau
imagined himself surrounded by enemies
and conspirators. Jeanne dare had faith
Heine died of a chronic disease Of the
spinal column. Moliere suffered from con-
vulsions. Among the insane English men
of letters or those having symptoms Of in
sanity are Swift johnson, Cowper, Shell
ley, Byron, Goldsmith, Lamb and Poe.
Napoleon believed in familiar spirit and
often saw it.
Obscure men are wont to envy genius,
and every man, hopes that he may become
a genius. But the price Of genius seems
almost always to be either insanity, some
terrible nervous affection or some stigma
Of mind or body. Evidently the genius is
not a "safe'' man. There is no telling
when his brilliancy will become dementia.
He suffers from the very nervous zexcita-
bility that makes it possible for him to use
his mind more effectively than other men.
But he is set apart from them. He
neither sees nor enjoys life as they do.

An Interesting Incident.

The statement by Walter Wellman in
the Chicago Record Herald that the New
York Suns opposition to President Roose-
welt is inspired, If not dictated, by Mr..
Morgan, who is supposed to own, or at
least to control, the Sun, recalls an Incl
dent which they tell about Washington.
It appears that when the merger case
was first instituted by the federal govern
ment Mr.. Morgan, so the story goes, was
somewhere in the SOUTH. When he read
in the newspapers that the federal gov
ernnent would proceed against the North
ern Securities company under the Sher-
man law, he fastened to Washington in
his private car, drove to the White House
and invaded the executive presence. He
was in q state Of considerable excitement
and began to express his disapproval Of
the action of the government vigorously.
He said it was an outrage for the gov
ernment to take such a step; that it had
no business to interfere with plans of
that character, and certainly, if the gov
ernment felt it necessary to begin such
proceedings in the courts, it ought at least
to have allowed those most interested to
know Of it in advance and give them a
chance to ''stand from UNDER; that it
was not right to attack great interests of
that kind without warning, when it would
have been very easy TO have allowed
those interested to know about it in ad-
vance. :ss- =
E At this point Mr.. Morgan was promptly
interrupted by the president, who turned
upon the excited 1nancier and said to
him:. ''Mr. Morgan, you are thezlast man
who should be told about a matter Of this
kind want it distinctly understood that
during this administration it shall not be
said that there is a ticker in, the White
House recording instructions from Wall
street, .s- - = e. .,>S'f*
Mr.. Morgan discovered at that precise
moment Of time that he was talking to
the president of the whole United States.
Perhaps this may explain some things
that have appeared in the Sun. s: a.

The Injunction issued by Judge Gre

The injunction issued by Judge Gross
cup in Chicago yesterday, restraining six
railway companies from; discriminating
against smaller shippers, has the right
ring. In this case Uncle Samuel appears
for the small shippers, who cannot afford
to carry on costly litigation. Heretofore
the individual has always felt powerless

the law. Now the small shipper confides
his troubles to Uncle Sam, and that be-
nign but determined old gentleman makes

in pleasant anticipation. Should the crop
come out anywhere near what Is now In
dicated the yield will be. heavy beyond
all precedent.
Then what Of price maintenance against
a phenomenal yield and large surplus?
Only this, that on Wednesday OF this
week the official German crop report was
given out and showed the wheat and rye
crops Of Prussia to be about S3 per cent
under last year in condition. France has
had some bad weather and Paris grain
men say the yield will in all probability
be under the average. Other parts of
Europe are not up in condition. No one
is going to venture any estimate Of the
European wheat yield at this time, but
there seems little doubt that Europe will
need much more wheat than she Imported
last year, and since it is promises for
the future that we are here dealing with,
we cannot be blind to the fact that this
makes brilliant promise.
Here at home we have some troubles
but principally of a minor nature, some
drawbacks, but nothing very serious.
There is dissatisfaction in labor circles,
but we may reasonably hope to go over
May without any development of a ma
ture serious enough to retard progress.
The textile industry has suffered thru
labor troubles and from other causes, but
in iron and steel, lumber, machinery and
other lines, production is very heavy,
running to the maximum capacity in many
cases, with much future business in sight.
Some fall business is already being worked
up, the northwestern flour mills have re-
sumed operations, collections are easy,
railroad earnings large and failures less
numerous. And the outlook now is that
Europe will need to buy more than a nor
NAL quantity OF our wheat; we will have
the wheat to sell her, and if this shall
materialize there will be a further period
of prosperity in our country equal to any
thing We have ever known.

miles distant. Evacuation, as understood
by Russia. lis simply the concentration OF
Russian troops where they can be made
most useful. Allsthe buildings, and there,
are thousands Of them put up by Russia
along her railways, are Of the most sub
stantial character and are meant for per-
manent Russian occupation.
It Is very likely that when Russia has
fully completed her arrangements for
safeguarding all her interests in Manchu
ria she wilt remember that she has SOL
ennn engagements to keep open the door
OF trade. That open door Of trade in
China is the definitely established policy
OF the United States and it carries with
it the policy of maintaining the terrific
rial integrity of China. Secretary Hay
has demanded the inviolability Of that
territory The Russian foreign office has
assured him that Russia has no designs
on Chinese territory. That was false Of
course, and our department. of state will
no doubt, after due reflection, restate
its position assumed two or three times
during the last three years. The powers
made a mistake when they did not in
clude a definite settlement Of the Man
churian question during the general ne
gotiations for peace at Peking after the
Boxer uprising. They stood off from
such settlement, because Great Britain,
Germany and France, were guilty of the
same landgrabbing operations in China
which are chargeable to Russia on a
much larger scale. Germany has bagged
Kiao-chou and practically the whole Of
Shantung province; Great Britain holds
Hongkong and France has cut AMMAN
and Tonquin out Of southern China. To-
day France is sympathetic with Russia,
her ally. as to the latter's Manchurian op-
erations. The Anglo o-German agreement
embodies the principle of compensa tion
for those powers, if another power ap-
propriates Chinese territory, while ia
pan is fighting mad over the successful
trick OF Russia. England and Germany
are bound by treaty to maintain the terri
torial integrity Of China, with a fatal
reservation. Our government is -inde-
pendently committed to that policy, with
out reservation. Such diverse views and
sympathies are promotive Of Russia's
scheme. She is most likely to hold Man
churia. Beati possidentes! Happy those
who are in possession! It-

Genius and Insanity.

A person VINO notices strange mental
1apses or extra ordinary personal peculiari-
ties in himself need not conclude that hesis
insane-he may be only a mute genius.
Both genius and insanity are abnor-
malities. and the one borders upon the.
other. History and biography abound in
facts that show how near genius is to in
sanity: A remarkable compilation OF
geniuses who have been queer or ac-
tuallv insane has been made by Arthur
Macdonald, a specialist in the United
States bureau of education. This study
was presented as all argument before
lishment of laboratory for the study of
the criminal, pauper and defective classes.
Mr.. Mcdonald quotes Moreau of Tours
as saying that when the mind reaches it's
highest limit it is in danger of falling into
dementia. A genius is a man who is able
to force his mind to it's highest limit. The
great intellectual activity Of the genius Is
due to over excitation of the nervous sys-
tenn. and in this sense in neurotic.
Lelut considers genius a semi i-morhid
state of the BRAIN. Nisbet says that
genius and insanity are but different
phases. of morbid susceptibility Of or
want of balance in the cerebro-spinal
system If the facts were known every
illustrious man would fall into the morbid
category. Lombroso speaks of the NOR
bid, degenerative nature Of genius. The
genius is unlike his normal, healthy fell
lows; he is, therefore, a degenerate, a de-
parture from the type. Some special
lists do not go so far as these quoted, but
all agree that the relation between in
sanity and genius Is very close.
Mr.. Mcdonald gives an imposing list
of great men who were either insane or
developed some of the symptoms Of In
sanity. Socrates had hallucinations from
his familiar spirit or demon. 3
was attacked by intermittent mania, but
had lucid intervals in which he composed
his works. The Emperor Charles v. had
| epileptic attacks in youth and was q
stammerer. Retiring from the throne, he
| entered a monastery and celebrated his
| own funeral rites. His mother was in

Up to the Women. :

The club women of the fourth congress
sional district .sof Minnesota met in ST.
Paul yesterday and discussed. the 3omes-
tic service problen-arour the edges. It
is a good sign for the :wornen's clubs to
be facing such a terribly practical ques-
tion as that of household service. If all
the club women of America were to con-
centrate themselves on the solution Of
this problem, to the exclusion of all other
club work, it would be solved within a
year. -. -. 5.*s .. g.
1t is peculiarly the woman's problem. The
man of the family has learned or is learn
ing, how to get along with the men he
employs in business. What trouble he has
with them is generally over the point Of
the precise amount: Of pay they shall re-
ceive. There is no widespread objection
to industrial work because Of it's ,condi-
tions. . ,l.s. : = > zz&tj :&.tjs a .ssi ssi.. 3.
The. servant girl problem Is far from
being one Of pay. That aspect Of the
problem is generally settled by the girl.
What she demands, she gets. The diff
Guilty is to find a competent housemaid
at any price. The great majority Of avail
able young women prefer to follow less
profitable callings because of the humil-
iating conditions that surround the serv-
ant girl. At present her work is consid-
cred menial, if not degrading. She so
regards it nerself-a fact fatal to the best
results. She is constantly reminded OF
her inferior social position. She is a
household appendage, and yet she is in
no sense a member of the family. Sur
rounded by home life and social feeling,
she is homeless and neglected. Rarely is
there the slightest bond of affection be-
tween her and her mistress. A long step
| toward establishing a kindlier relation
would be made If the servant girl had
fixed hours and was not an occupant OF
/ or home elsewhere, and came and went
from her work like the factory or, shor
girl What mistress would herself be-
come a servant if reduced to want. even
| tho she could live more comfortably BY
doing so than in any other occupation she
might find?
/ Another serious aspect Of the matter is
the frequent inconpetency Of those who
undertake to do housework. There is ne
standard Of qualification and no prope,
adjustment Of pay to degree Of skill an6
deficiency. This, too, Is a matter which
the women who employ housemaids mus
solve.
Families are breaking up and home lift

lice needed to keep up the work of the

Russia s Manchuria.

The cabinets and chancellories of tho
powers interested in China are busy try
ing to discover a foil with which to frus-
trate the daring defiance by Russia Of
their indefinitely proclaimed program as
to the disposition Of Manctluria. Russia
in her recognized strong position Of beati
possidentes, is justified in her assurance
that, whatever the other powers may de-
mand she will be able to get full COM
pensation for anything she may give up.
1t is possible, indeed, that she will give
up nothing.
Last year Russia promised to withdraw
her military protectorate from Manchuria.
She was to abandon the three provinces
occupied by her. The Newchwang- Shan
Hai-Kwan railway was to be restored to
the Chinese and the Russian garrison at
Newchwang was to, be replaced by Chi
nese troops and China was to assume the
protection of all property. even the Chi
nese Eastern Railway.
None Of these things has been done.
Last autumn Russia made q show Of
circulating Manchuri1 by removing her
troops in Mukden, NeWchwang, Liau-
yang, Kirin and other important points, a
short distance to her railway concessions,
which, under the agreement signed by
China, she can occupy permanently to
protect the railway. This kind of evacu-
alton has usily meant the strong concen-
tration OF Russian Troops along the line
Of her railway which is to bind Port Ar
thur, Dalny and Newchwang to the main
line Of the great Siberian railway. This
kind Of evacuation means the strengthen
ing Of Russia's occupation of the largest
and richest commercial cities in Manchu-
ria, situated in most productive coun-
try in grain and stock. thru which great
Chinese caravans pass Russia has sur
f.veyed new lines of railway which will
command and control every important
strategic point in the country. Russia
has spent and is spending millions OF rou-
b1es there and has brought unusual pros
perity to the people. Whatever town or

A city employe tells the story OF an
officeholder, who was one of a party that
attended the funeral Of a Chtnaman on a
recent Sunday. He took great deal Of
interest in the queer service at the grave,
and noticed that, among other things, a
roasted duck was left there by the de-
parting mourners. =

asked:
'Why do you leave that duck on the
