Hou Do They Do It.

The Fifth Avenue bank Of New York has just declared an extra dividend of I20 per cent in addition to the regular quarterly dividend Of 2 per cent. Two years ago the bank declared an extra dividend Of 100 per cent and has been disbursing regular dividends of 100 per cent regularly for several years past The officials of this bank are evidently honest. and it is the stockholders who are the grafters from the customers. But how can the customers stand it1 Adding half of the extra dividend namely, 60 per cent-to the regular div idend of 100 per cent makes 1G0 per cent per annum or 1872 per cent per month. If well managed banks pay like this, what inducement can bankers have for speculation and frenzied finance? And what profits their custom CTS must make to be able to pay this enormous interest!

The victory Of the three mastel schooner Atlantic in the recent interna- SfOnal race for the kaiser's cup has given stin greater glory and prestige to American yachtsmen, yacht builders and yacht designers. The At,antlc's record breaking run, with Captain Charley Barr at the wheel, was even more notable than the winning of the German rulers $5,OO0 trophy. In ad- dition to establishing a new record 341 miles-for a days run, she broke the worlds record for five days sail ing
 Wilson Marshall, the owner of the victorious yacht, is young in years. but a veteran of the sport. He has been a member of the New York Yacht club since 1880 and ia this time has owned many vessels, the one preced- ing his present craft also bearing the name Atlantic. Born in New York not more than thirty four or thirty years ago. he has from youth been fas- cinated with the pleasures and possi- Utilities of yachting As he grew older the size of bis boats increased until he was induced through the gradual de velopment of his love Of the sport to order the schooner that has given all connected with it worldwide fame.

She was gone for months, and upon her return to New York her interior deco rations were completed.

She won several runs and the cups called for and also added to her silver collection of the prizes offered by the flag officers.

 The Atlantic has the complete pro- polling mach.sery of steam yacht and, her designer says, has made eleven knots an hour under steam. The prOpeIling machinery consists of a triple expansion engine of about 300 horsepower, two boilers and feather ing screw. which fills completely her aperture when feathered for sailing.
 The sails are ordinarily raised with steam. The yacht is lighted with electricity and has one large dynamo and engine and capacious storage bat teries. She has also an acetylene gas plant, a two ton refrigerating machine and tiled ice boxes. with a capacity of 500 cubic feet There are three sky lights, three companion matches and a large skylight over the engine and boiler room.
 Steering Is done from the raised quarter deck aft. The stack Is tele- scopic. The accommodations consist of large saloon, five staterooms, chart and gun room and three bathrooms, which are porcelain lined. The deck house is used as m observation room and is connected with stairs to a spa cious lobby below.
 William Gardner, the Atlantic's de- signer, has long been known to yachts men and has their confidence. He is still on the bright side of life In the matter of years and has been a mem Der of the New York Yacht club since 1890. Like the Atlantic's owner, he was born in New York state, his hall Ing place being Oswego. He was grad uated from Cornell, whose students nowadays are astonishing the world by their athletic prowess, and follow ing his graduation he passed five years in Great Britain in the practical and theoretical study of naval architecture
 Mir. Gardner began the business oi designing yachts in 1889.

RAILROADS IN POLITICS.
Power of Their Lobby In National
 and Stnte LeglHIntion.


 ] There is probably no state in the | Union that Is not plagued with the | railroads mixing in politics for selfish 1 ends. No legislature meets but a rail road lobby Is on hand to fure3er rail- road interests and defeat the will of the people. Railroad lobbyists swarm at the national capital. and the legisia- ton passed or defeated by congress shows the tremendous power of the railroad lobby. More evidence of the political corruption caused by the rail roads has been exposed during the past year or two than ever. before. Governor La Toilette, the honest and able servant of the people of Wiscon- sin. has fully exposed the railroad monopolists in his state and has been Instrumental Tn clearing the capitol of their hireIings.
 A Republican paper. the Lincoln (Neb.l News. gives evidence of the pernIcious activity of the railroads In that state when it says:
 The announcement that the Union Pa- cifc Is fin politics for the purpose of pro- tecting itself from the Burlington is an- other of the plausible explanations vouchsafed for the activity of John \. Baldwin and his trusted agents The contention Is set up that 1t Is necessary to take an interest fin politics to keep the Burlington from forcing up the assessment 10 the detriment of the Hartman road. This fact goes to prove conclusively that the railways are perniciously active in politics. If they are able to dictate the assessment one way. they unquestionably have the power to say what shall be done Tn other directions.
 Evidence like this is available from many of the states. and the question is how long the people will stand to see the railroads assessed at one-half their value while paying large divi- dends and charging unreasonable rates in many instances.
 If congress will pass the necessary law to give the interstate commerce commission power to substitute req sonable rates when railroad charges are shown to be excessive. the first great battle against those giant com pines will have been accomplished. It is almost useless to attempt to control the railroads doing an interstate busi- ness by state legislation. but the fed eral government has the power and must use it to protect the people.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Rejoicing In the Ranks of Railroad
 and Trust MaEnntes.


 The railroad and trust magnates ap- pear to have enough influence to pre- vent an extraordinary session Of the Fifty-ninth congress. The Star, publish cd at the national capital. usually well Informed on the purposes of the ad- ministratiOn. announces that no extra session will be called; that Speaker Cannon and other Republican leaders in congress have persuaded President Roosevelt that q special session would result in tariff discussion and injure the Republican party in the congress slonal campaign next year.
 Tbis procrastinating policy indicates that the legislation that will be enact ed by the next congress against the railroads or trusts will be so devised as to help the people as little as pos sitle and do the corporations no seri- ous damage. This coming down from the strenuous policy promised by the administration a few weeks ago is cer- tainly extraordinary. to say the least. With the well known methods of delay that congress. especially the senate, knows so well how to employ the pros pect of any legislation that will helT the people is much further removed by the lack of the extra time that an ex traordinary session would have given.
