A Possible Railway Evolution.

A Wall street rumor has it that it is
the Standard Oil group that is backing
E. H. Hartman in his great schemes Of
railway conquest: This is more than
likely, for there is no more inviting
field for this powerful financial group
than railway control. Miss ,Tarbell has
indicated in her articles in Mcclure IS
Magazine that the present. ambition of
America $ great moneyed oligarchy
leads in that direction. Having already
secured such grip on the finances Of
the nation that it can produce a panic
at will, the next step in the advance
ment of the dangerous ambitions Of this
INSCRIPTIONS group would naturally be
the railways.
Those who believe in state ownership
of railways would rather welcome sue
cessful advances by the Standard Oil
group in this direction. The reduction
of the railway ownership of the country
to four or five groups has undoubtedly
had the effect Of turning PUBLIC atten-
tion to the arguments for governm mt
ownership. Should the four or five
groups be reduced to, one and that the
Standard Oil, it is altogether likely that
state ownership Of the railways would
Immediately become a live ISSUE. If it
didn It, railway ownership Of the people
would likely follow. I, ~" tx

Kuropatkin's Strategy.

Kuropatkin may be great strate-
gist, but the way he went about his
recent movement, taking the field for
the offensive campaign, displayed
weakness for "brass- band' methods,
if, indeed, it was not a grave piece
Of folly. Oct. 2 he stood up before an
assembled multitude Of his soldiers in
Mukden and declared in a loud voice
that he was going to take the often
sive and move against valiant foe.
It was not until Oct. d that he was
ready to make his move-two full
days in which to allow Japanese spies
in Mukden, who were no doubt there
in numbers, to carry the news to Oya-
ma and to enable Oyama to make his
plans of defense; two full days In
which spies could work at gathering
details of Kuropatkin q, plans, even as
Stunning that they had had no intima'
tion of his purpose beforehand.
Why the proclamation at all? Ac.
lions speak louder than words always,
and far louder in war. Why not have
made his plans, arranged his forces
and struck his blowq ST. Petersburg,
the czar and the world would, without
difficulty, have understood that he had
| taken the offensive. Or he could have
given the car private tip, if he had
felt it necessary. ~-
The folly Of his course seems appar-
ent from the way in which the Jap
anese have met his advance. Kuropat-
kin has not only failed to compel the
Japanese to give way before his from
tai attack at Yen-tai, but his wide
turning movement on the Japanese
right seems to be coming to naught
Furthermore, his own right is in grave
danger from a fanking movement by
the Japanese left army, which is fight
ing desperately to accomplish it's pur
pose and which Oyama has hopes vii
succeed.
Failure means loss of prestige TO
Kuropatkin himself, loss of standing
with the Chinese in the surroundin!
territory and encouragement for Por
Arthur.
The Russian general would have bee,
expected to learn from the way tn
Japanese proceeded, if he did not kno1
before, that a look out-I m coming styl
of warfare is out of vogue and poo
generalship. .:

chance and they availed themselves of
it in the right spirit.
The theoretical moralist may be in.
clined to hold that such a policy as Mr..
Jones pursued tends rather. to promote
than to check crime, but Mr.. Jones
had more confidence than that in hui
manity. With him, at least, there was.
small chance for such encouragement
of crime, for his character was 50 we'll
known that the man who found the
battle Of life going so sorely against
him, that he was tempted to embezzle
and then go to Mr.. Jones afterward
for assistance would instead have first:
gone to Mr.. Jones. It was only those
who found themselves guilty of Grim
inal acts without ever having had a
deliberate intention Of ultimately
profting at the expense Of others that
came to Mr.. Jones. 81
A''Golden, Rule'' Jones was called q
crank. He was laughed at for his ideas
about crime and vice and their treat
ment, but he seems to have accom-
plished larger practical results than
many of his critics who were 20 cock
sure that he was crazy.

The Tribune has broa dened its ANYTHING

The Tribune has broadened it's anything-
to-elect-Dunn campaign little. Begin
ming with the proposition that the repub-
lican candidate for mayor could 4 not be
elected unless he and all his friends sup
port Mr.. Dunn, it now extends it's threat
to all city and county officers in Henne-
pin county. In other Words the Tribune
is bound that if Dunn is not elected, all
the rest of the local republican candi-
dates shall go down to defeat with him.
This is a pretty high-handed policy, but
no doubt the Dunn situation is desperate.
It seems to have left out of account, how
ever, the possibility that the voters of
this city and county may not like to be
threatened and dictated to in that way,
and the fact that we vote under the Aus
tralian system, where the voter may make
up his ballot uninfuenced by anything but
the dictates of his own judgment and the
promptings of his own conscience. If the
Tribune doesn't quit playing with fire II

Thursday Evening,

chises the other, day that gas can be man
ufactured in Indianapolis and Supplied to
the consumer at a good working profit
for 60 cents thousand cubic feet. Mr.
Jeup said the investment of $2,ooO,0o0 was
sufficient to equip a plant and that q
company with this amount invested could
do a good business and make money by
furnishing gas at 60 cents. The Indiana
polls Gas company cannot do this, he said,
and pay. S per cent on it's -s200o,ooO stock
and $S,462,OO0 bonds. The plant how
ever, could be- duplicated, he added, for
l$2,Oo0,ooe. With its present bond issue
the company could furnish gas at IS cents
a thousand feet. From this it would seem
that watered stock is quite a drain on the
public. How neatly we are robbed now

The Good Deeds of a. "Crank. y

HGolden-Rule' Jones was a pious
man of the kind that devotes more at
tention to deeds than to words, tho he
was not unmindful of the power of
words and lost no. opportunity to say
something that. would tend to advance
righteousness. Sometimes he found it
necessary in promoting the cause to
tell what he had done in, Toledo, but

, His private benefcences amounted, it
was found, to 100000 year and many
of these were of an unusual kind Be-
lieving that most men err thru weak
ness or the pressure Of temptation

Jones, it seems, made a practice of well

city Of Toledo have at different times
been assisted in this manner by Mr..
Jones. It is further related that not
one of them has ever proved himself

Last Vestige Of the Rand Ordi-
nance.

The last vestige of the famous Rand
ordinance is likely to be erased from
the books.
That ordinance, it will be remem-
bered, provided two things for the ben
eft Of the saloon business: 1t under
took, first, to deny to private citizen
the right to make complaint for VIOLA
ton of the liquor ordinances, and con-
fined the power to bring charges of
such violation to members Of the police
force and other public officers. This
was done to head off the "crusaders. -
That provision Of the ordinance was
taken to the supreme court, and, of
course as soon as the court got chance
at it it was wiped out.
There was left, however, provision
that, in case of a violation of the ord-
nance leading to forfeiture of the
license, that proportion Of the money
paid for the license corresponding to
the unexpired period Of the license was
to be returned to the holder of the
license. Under this arrangement all
that was necessary for a person who
had forfeited his license by violating
the law was to find some one else to
take out a license in that person s name
and allow him to go on with his bust
ness. The revocation of a liquor license
under this provision became farce.
IThe license committee reported at
the last meeting of the council an
ordinance repeating that provision of
the Rand ordinance which permits the
rebate on Cancelled licenses. A return
y to the rule before the Rand ordinance
was passed will provide for forfeiture
4 of all money paid for license in case of
o revocation by, the court and. of half
the amount corresponding to the I'M
expired period when the licensesis, can
celed by the council or the mayor. It
is understood that the matter will come
up for final reading and passage at the
meeting Of the council tomorrow night
We can hardly conceive of any alder.
man, except possibly the original Trainer
of the Rand ordinance, voting against
its repeal, for certainly if the penalty OF
forfeiture in case of violation of the
law is to mean anything it must include
the loss Of the money paid for the
license, otherwise of what effect is
cancellation? If ordinances may be vic
lated. without penalty they will be vic
lated just as they have been in the cas-
Y of the wineroom ordinance, and will
absolute contempt for the law. If, how
y ever, cancellation of the ordinance
means the loss Of the money invested ii
the license, the holder Of the license will
be much more careful to comply will
the law. 1t appears, moreover
that what are known as the bette
element among the saloon men favo
the repeal of this ordinance AM
were represented before the committee
to that effect. They know that it viii
mean that the saloon business will b.
conducted hereafter in a way less oh
jectionable to the general public, an,
that there will be less occasion for tn
development Of sentiment hostile It
