A PERFECT TRUST

The president was going to shackle
cunning and he had Knox get an in
junction against the meat trust. That
was more than year ago. During the
year the price of cattle has fallen
more than a dollar a hundred. Yet
light in the cities where the packing
houses are located, the price OF beef at
retail has risen in about the proper
tion that the price of cattle has fallen.
The hog situation Is even worse
The shipments are smaller than they
were a year ago. The market price to
the farmer is So per hundred less and
yet there has been an advance in the
price of pork. Pork tenderloins were
costing the butcher l6 cents pound a
few days ago. The latest price list for
the same grade calls for 20 cents a
pound. The reason assigned Is that
the packers can sell all they can pro-
dGce at 20 cents pound. The farmer
asxs why he cannot get more for the
live hog, but he gets no satisfaction.
He may take what the packer will
give him or keep his hogs. The con-
sumner will pay the price or 80 with
ont pork.
The truth Is that the packers. In
connection with the railroads, have
formed the most perfect trust that
ever existed In these United States,
The result Of the recent elections has
spurred them on until they are bold
aud defiant. The commission mon rc-
port that very often a bnytr Will pur-

In transmitting the manuscript OF
"Clean Hands," Captain Billingsley
said: II have been writing from time
to time for the daily and also weekly
press. but sometimes | am COM
PEELED to write articles that do not
meet the approval OF our city daily
press. enclosed article being one OF
them" OF course, the city press
wouldn't-the press that made 1t pos
sible for the unspeakable Dietrich to
disgrace Nebraska in the United States
senate and which is now doing all in
it's power to extort $33 1888 from citi-
zens of Nebraska in order TO secure
Rockefeller's $66,666.67 of blood
money" wherewith to build Temple
hall." The mere fact that Captain
Billingsley was obliged to go outside
the circle of his own party press in
order to express his thoughts regard
ing the worship Of Mammon, shows
the grip of plutocracy on Lincoln dali
les. But there is certainly some hope
when a republican leader of Captain
Billingsley's ability has the nerve to
express himself, even If he is COM
pelled to ask space in a populist paper
that has never asked or given quarter
in it's fight against present-day repub-
licanism, which is synonymous with
Mammon worship.

solicitors. They send no more men
around to the retail dealers to solicit
trade. If the butcher wants meat he
must send his order The packers
have also discontinued their delivery
sci eIyice. The horses and wagons have
been sold and the men discharged.
The retail men must now send to the
cooling houses their own teams or
hire teamsters< <at SO much hundred
pounds to get the meat and deliver it
to them. One packer in Kansas City
said that this arrangement saved his
house $4,000 a year. But that saving
is added to the retail price of meat
and the consumers pay it.
The action Of the meat trust is
along the line of all the other trusts.
Since the election every one of them
has given the screws another turn or
two. 1t will go on that way until the
mass of the people begin to suffer for
food and clothing. Then there will be
a revolt. The race does not seem far
enough advanced to be moved by any
thing but the calls of hunger.

THE AGE OF GAMBLING

Gambling in the United States has
passed beyond anything known in the
history Of the world before. The rec
ords show that during the season at
Saratoga more than $2,00O,00G a day
was bet on horse races. The amount
of money bet on horse races alone
during the year is estimated to be
above S2,O00,O00,000 The bucket shops
and board OF trade gambling involves
still larger sums. There are many
more forms of gambling, running all
the way from shooting craps in back
alleys to amounts involving hundreds
of thousands. The age of gambling is

A Feminine Mystery.

Among the minor mysteries of life
is the bewildering fact that, as a rule,
the tall woman is of a melancholy dis
position, while her smaller sister is Of
q bright, brisk and cheerful tempera-
ment. Science, so far as we know, has
never addressed itself to the solution of
this puzzle, and the amateur philoso-
pher is therefore left to cudgel his brain
and marvel. Why length of limb should
make for solemnity and melancholy.
says writer on this subject, is hard to
determine. Length of limb seems to
suggest to the mind the need for q
stateliness of department, which never
troubles the consciousness of the small
and tubby." We are left to conclude
that the feminine side of our nation,
which is rapidly becoming famous for
its extreme height, will some day be-
come as serious and gloomy as Quakers,
and then we shall take our pleasures
more sadly than ever.-London Globe.

Rousseau was type of the melan-
cholic temperament, assuming some
times the symptoms of veritable pa
thetic insanity. He sought, to realize
his phantoms in the least susceptible
circumstances. He saw everywhere en-
emies and conspirators, frequent in the
first stages of insanity. Once, coming
to his sailing vessel in England, he in
terpreted the pnfavorable winds as q
conspiracy against him, then mounted
an elevation and began to harangue the
people, although they did not under
stand a word he said. In addition to his
fixed ideas and deliriant convictions
Rousseau suffered from attacks of
acute delirium, sort of maniacal excl
tation. He died from apoplectic attack.

THE SWEDISH famine
Tho Report Of tho Government Com.
mission Is Gloomy 0ne.-
More Help Needed.

Stockholm, Jan. l5.-Depressing
facts and figures relative to the famine
in northern Sweden have been submit
ted to the government by it's special
commissioner, who has just returned
from the scene. His report is in part as
follows:
"Quite 81, ZOO, 00ois likely to be neces-
sary to save the population from
grlevous reduction through starva-
ton. Two hundred thousand dollars
in cash has thus far been donated, one
twentieth of which came from Swedes
in the United States. The ST ,OOO. 900
mentioned does not include the amount
necessary to keep cattle for the winter
and to provide seed grain for the
spring sowing. Both these points are
vastly important, because the perish
ing OF the Northern breed of cattle and
the disappearance of seed grain suited
to the lati'udes involved would be
calamity fraught with the gravest con.
sequen ces for the future.
o"uol'oiA cduble cannot live, nor
Southern seed produces even the Door
est crops in the far north. The cattle
now in the famine distr cts arc small.
hornless beasts, Injured to the arctic
winter. The peasants are making
p ,thetic sacrifices to avert the extermi
nation of the breed. Everything pos
sible should be done to assist them, also
to purchase every bushel of grain
available in the north. This should
be stored for the spring planting, in
order to avoid a repettion next autumn.
Its place as human food, as which it is
now in the process of consumption.
should be taken by grain shipped from
the south.
'D'sease is certain to grow out of
the present condition unless relief is
rapidly and speedily supplied. TIE
people are eating the innermost bark
of the Norwegian pine and other ma
terial eft for food.
The famine sufferers are using fine
ly chopped twigs of the birch, willow
and mountain ash. This mixture is
boiled and fed to the cattle warm
Unhappily the milk of COWS fed with
this mixture makes bad butter and
cheese, aud predisposes its consumers
to typhoid.
Given the ptarmigan, the mountain
grouse, which has hitherto been found
in enormous numbers in the stricken
region, has almost completely disap-
peared."
This report has produced the most
painful impression in official Circles
Sixteen hundred carloads of Prov
slons have been shipped north The
consignment is valued at $3.50, 200.

THE LIBRARY PROPOSITION.

The TRIBUNE editor was requested
to state his views upon the Carneg'e
library proposition, and this we will
do, only regretting that we cannot un-
der the circumstances give the propo-
sition the unqualified support that the
splendid public spirit of the origina-
tor of the same might deserve.
There is no question that a public
library such>as it is proposed to erect
would b. found of some value to stu
dents of the city and that the building
itself would be an ornament to which
most OF our people would point with
pride. We believe that we fully ap-
preciate the value of such an institu-
ton to the citizens of the city.
Under ordinary circumstances the
amount required for it's annual main
tenance might not have been consid-
cred burdensome. Under existing cha
otto conditions of the city finances i;
would serve to still further complicate
matters. The experience of the past
few years has taught US that it mat
tiers not what the people of Willmar
may decide to do at the elections. The
administration, secure behind it's par
ty machine, applies the money appro-
priations to suit exigencies as it
pleases. Having no confidence in the
financial management of the city, how
can we consistently advise the citizens
to vote additional taxes and let down
the bars of organic law?
There is an element in the city that
would like to see the taxes become so
burdensome that the people in despair
will listen to their offers of buying le-
gal sanction for questionable privilege
es. Would not the added taxes help
this element? And in that case would
not the objects of a public library be
greatly neutralized in the community ?
These are our personal o. inions.
If we are wrong we desire to be COR
rected. Discussion on the subject is
invited.
