SOAKING THEM.

1t costs one-half OF billion dollars to
run our national government year
That is forty.one million dollars month,
or about million and half dollars a
day.
That is to say, it requires the work Of
a million men. at one dollar and half q
day every day in the year, to keep things
going.
Add to this the cost Of state, county,
city, township and school districts gov.
ernmen.s, and it is safe to say that
one-fifth OF the money earned in this
country goes to the support Of our
various governments. This statement is
based on the theory that We pay the ex.
penses of governments ourselves. Ofcourse
if "the foreigner" pays them. as oul
republican friends claim, we have nc
kick coming. But if they do pay them
we are certainly soaking it to them

STANDARD OIL.
encouraging

Miss Tarbell continues in the January
McClure's her magnificent work, "The
History of the Standard Oil Co." The
first chapter of the second part, begun
in the December number, told of the
"War for Rebate" The second chapter
in the January number, moves on to
another phase OF the Standard Oil Co.'S
history, and relates the eight for the
Seaboard Pipelines" 1t is the story
of magnificent combat in which the
independents for short time have the
Standard Oil at bay, only to fall finally
before the savage and insidious attacks
of the dread Power AS was the case
with the the first chapter, there is some.
thing absolutely tragic in the story OF
this fght-something as powerful as the
most stirring relation of battle on land
or sea. The methods used by the Stan l.
ard Oil in breaking its antagonist are
revealed by Miss Tarbell in her usual
unsparing and TRANQUILITY courageous
manner, and, as it develops, her work
looms up more and more as something
monumental and significant.

The administration press, pursuing
the tactics OF cuttle6sh, is bowling itse
hoarse over political corruption in
Missouri. But it will be noticed that the
administration press is not giving the
CONGRATULATIONS of the boodlers who have
been indicted. That would not suit
their case at all. The fact OF the
matter is, most OF the Missouri cor
ruptionists thus far exposed are repub-
licans. Does any administration organ
possess the candor to tell the whole
truth about the matter?

is the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.

The sleeping cars on this line
were formerly Pullman cars, ope

In building its sleeping cars, de
parture from the old standard pat
tern of cars has been made 10 the
extent OF adding about six inches
to the width and height of the

sagged heavily to ~ below last night
The action of the stock was attributed
to profit-taking on the favorable news.
The rise in United States Steel preferred
on the other hand, was called, due to
covering OF speculative accounts on the
short side. Some of the other iron and
steel stocks hardened in sympathy with
United States Steel preferred, but the
movement was short lived. News from
the trade was meagre, but the decline in
gross earnings Of the Pennsylvania lines
for December was counted as an unfavor-
able indication. owing to the large share
OF that system in the iron and steel traf-
nc. Reports OF curtailment of anthracite
production, owing to poor market condi-
tons were apparently ignored, as were the
rather ominous expressions brought out
in the negotiations for wage settlement
IN the bltuminous field. The Russo-Jap-
anese situation was deemed rather less
hopeful for peace and this influence was
shown in firmer tone for grain and re-
lapse in cotton. The effect on the securi-
ties market was largely confined to re-
strieting operations, pending the recep-
Etion Of the Russian reply to Japan. A

ton IN any news that became known to

Cotton Letter

Raleigh N. c., Feb. 2.--Th2 smash this
morning was on the report circulated in
The Wall Street district that there had
been a settlement made on largc line
of short cotton. No one waited to have
the rumor verified, but holders let go
the cotton bought in the expectation OF
higher prices today. This selling broke
July from 17.42 to 1900. Then there was
a turn of 40 points up, a break of %
points, an advance of 20 points, and then
prices moved all around in a sensational
manner. Liverpool was even worse than
New York There was no evidence of an;
change in the cotton situation. In New
Orleans there was 1900 quoted many
times and this gave the lie to the settle
ment rumors. 1t may be that house
caught on the short side of the market
covered a line of cotton, but this does
not relieve the position OF those short
in New Orleans Spot holders there are
in a serious position They can't very
well let go futures and it would DC So
rious to let go actual cotton. Ii there was
a demand for spot cotton as there rs fer
paper futures there would be nc trouble
New Orleans July futures sold cents
over spots yesterday. We call attention
Of all Interested in the welfare of tne
cotton industry to this abnormal condi-
ton. It is not through q legitimate de-
mand for July, but because people with
power are PUTTING on the screws. is
will bring is retribution sooner OF later.
1t is a shy.ock proceeding to pat on tn
screws this way on those who have act1a1
cotton. There will be a penalty SOME
day.
Port receipts today estimated at s. 80
bales, against II, S54 bales last year New
