RAILROADS CUTTING
EXPENSES
Men Are Being Laid OFF, the Number
of Trains Reduced and Hours of
Work Increased.

New York, June 3-Wall Street men
are closely studying railroad earnings
just now. The earnings of nearly ev-
cry road in the country show a de-
crease, except those in Canada and in
the south. The Canadian Pacific made
a gain of about per cent in gross
for a week and the Mexican Cen
tral has gained greatly. On the other
hand, the Colorado & Southern shows
a decrease of little over 20 per cent
the Fort Worth & Denver City for
April decrease of about 8 per cent
The Omaha shows a gross loss of 16
per cent. The Erie has a net decrease
of 20 per cent for the fiscal year up to
date. This is shared by nearly every
railroad of the country and as a result
large numbers of men were laid off the
first of June in order to decrease the
expenses OF the railroads.
President Hill of the Great Northern
road has ordered that a saving of ST.
OO0,00O must be effected this coming
year in the passenger service alone. In
order to retrench without discharging
its men, more work and less pay will
be resorted to by the roads. The North
ern Pacific expects to adjust it's eco
nomy so as to save 100000. The Chi
cago & Great Western expects to re-
duce It's expenses SO as to save $780,
600, the Minneapolis & st. Louis will
reduce its force and save 100000, and
the Burlington by consolidation of
rain runs and lengthening the hours
of work. hopes to retrench this year
% the amount of 100000.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 3-Early indi-
cations were that Charles S. Deneen
would be nominated for governor by
the Republican state convention late
this afternoon. This was the trend OF
the inside talk among the Yates men
before the convention met. Lowden
was expected to make an effort to
stampede the convention and it was
expected that the Yates men would
then go to Deneen. When the con-
vention met Sherman man moved to
take a recess until p. m. 1t was Sec
onded by the Deneen and Yates men
and carried without opposition.
After the recess it was openly ac-
knowledged that Deneen, Yates, Ham

nation to nominate Deneen on the first
ballot at the afternoon session. Warn
er and Pierce are expected to join the
combination.

The German Element.

Some Frenchman has gone a. long
way toward wiping out the Franco
German enmity by saying in maya
zine article that much of the success
of Americans and the United States is
due to the large admixture Of Ger
man blood In our population.
There is a deal in the Frenchman's
notion. The Americans are essential
ly a composite people, and the, Ger
mans have contributed as much to the
whole, more indeed, than any other
element, except the revolutionary
stock, which was itself composite
not lacking in German blood.
The German blood has given to
American life a certain steadiness. a
certain stolidity that is an admirable
supplement to the dash and mobility
of our people. This combination Of
qualities comes out in our soldiers and
sailors who have the endurance of the
phlegmatic races united to the ardor
of the more mercurial.
The Germans are more conserva-
tive people than the Americans, and
under the influence of American in
stitutions they have become a won

Our Commerce and the War.

1t is not likely that the war will have
depressing effect on our trade with
Japan. The Japs now control the sea
effectually and are likely to continue to
do so. The result will be that trade
especially the United States, will go on
much as before the war. Vessels fly
ing the Japanese flag are not likely
to venture in the European waters, but
1t would not be surprising if they con-
tinued to cross the Pacific. At any
rate, the Pacific is likely to be so free
from danger from Russian war vessels
that the ships Of neutral nations will
not be deferred from continuing in the
trade between Japan and the United
States. There is no possibility of a
blockade Of Japanese ports, and there
will be little danger even in trading
with Japan in contraband of war. The
demands Of the war upon Japanese re-
sources are likely to be so great that
the country will have to import even
more than in time of peace. The
United States will be the natural
source Of supply for much of this war
trade.
Our trade with Russia, which is
growing more rapidly than with any
other European country. may be both
stimulated and depressed by the war.
The Japanese naval successes will
probably soon be followed, if indeed
such is not already the fact, by the
blockade of both Port Arthur and
Vladivostok. This will cut off all
trade with those ports, the only COM
mercially available ones Russia has in
the east. A part Of the trade that
might go to them may be diverted to
european Russia. Supplies for the
Russian armies may be entered at
European ports and forwarded to
Manchuria by rail. Enthusiastically
Russia, tho an extensive producer of
foodstuffs, will require some assist
ance from us if the war lasts long. On
the other hand, it is reported that
Russia is preparing for the possibility
of a general war and is summoning
thousands of reservists to the colors.
This may so disorganize industry and
commerce In the empire that importa-
tons of many sorts of foreign goods
will decrease. The loss of trade on
this account may be very serious. It
is somewhat Of a surprise to find that
our exports to Russia in 1903 were
worth $20,O00,OOO or more than twice
what they were in 1901. A large
part of this increase was caused by the
increase in-price Of raw cotton, but our
expectations of agricultural imple-
ments more than doubled. It is more
than probable that the war will seri-
| ously affect the importation by Russia
of such goods as agricultural ma
chinery.
On the whole, tho, the sum total
of our trade with Russia and Japan
ought to be about as large in war as in
peace, and, perhaps, larger.

Sound Iowa Doctrine.

In his recent speech against reci-
procity with Canada, Congressman
Volstead raised the DOGGY of the cheap
Canadian farm and what it would do
in competition with the aigh-priced
American farm. At that time we in
quired whether the cheap Minnesota
and Dakota farm had ruined the Iowa
farmer on high-priced land. The Sioux
City Tribune in a most interesting ed
ltorlal under the head, always and
Forever Expansion" asserts that the
Iowa farmer has not suffered from the
competition of these and other neigh
boring farmers. The Tribune looks
upon the population and development
of western Canada as merely one more
step in the logical sequence of the
population movement on this CONT
regions have nothing more to fear
from it than from the earlier develop
ment of our own west. cit is need
less to point out" says the Tribune,
that Minnesota and Wisconsin with
all their development and production
have not taken dollar from the
wealth of Iowa and Illinois, Contin-
uing the Tribune says:
The time has now come for another
move, and it must be to the north. The
Canadian northwest to-day is in the same
position as our own undeveloped empire
was more than half a century ago. It was
profitable to conquer the latter. 1t will
be profitable to conquer the former thru
the same means.
But. say the timid and selfish, there is
a boundary line between Canada and the
United States and our people will be
fuined by free trade. The answer is that
there is also boundary line between
every state from the Gulf of Mexico to
Minnesota, and nobody has been ruined
by free trade across them. Everybody has
been made prosperous by it. A boundary
line is an invisible thing. It has no power
to change either physical conditions or the
laws of trade. If it did possess such
power there would be about forty-five
crippled states in the union to-day.
Let us be done with fetch worship;
let us throw over the doctrine inspired by
commercial piracy; let us repudiate the
absurd logic that abuses the real protec-
ton principle. While the stand-patters
are busy with their Vaccinations, their
personal ambitions. their obligations to
monopolistic campaign contributors, and
are trying to plant torpedoes in the path
of expansion, let the people Of the west
remember the words of the immortal Far
ragut: Damn the torpedoes-go ahead"

No Place for the Constructive.

The case related in T h jour-
Friday of the young woman afflict-
ed with incipient pulmonary consump-
ton. for whom it was impossible to
secure accommodation In any hospi-
tai in the city, Is one well calculated
to make humane persons have some
unpleasant moments.
There is a place in Minneapolis for
the smallpox patient and the victim of
other contagious maladies, but there
is no place where the consum ptive
may be Isolated or cared for lust at
the time when attention is most i'm
portant. And yet consumption, far
more than the other infectious or con-
tagious disease, is one against which
organized humanity must fight
We do not blame the private hospi-
tails for refusing admission to persons
AFFLICTED with pulmonary consum ption.
They have no right to risk the expo
sure of their patients to such a
dread disease as consumption. But it
is almost inexplicable that with con-
sumption such common and de-
structive disease as it is, there is no
place to which may go those unfor-
tunate persons who have just con-
tracted the disease but are not able to
avail themselves Of private treatment
and shelter or can not seek health in a
change of climate. There is limited
accommodation in the city hospital
for a few in whom the disease is far
advanced.
The incident above referred to
ought to be of great value in arous-
ing interest in the work of the Antitu-
berculosis league has undertaken,
