S. D. RATES LOWERED
LINES AGREE ON GRAIN RATE
REDUCTIONS TO CORRESPOND
WITH NORTHERN CUT.

Flax coarse grain and wheat rates
from South Dakota and southwestern
intermediate points to the twin cities
and Duluth were checked over at st.
Paul yesterday by rate clerks of the st.
Louis, Rock Island, Milwaukee and
Great Northern lines, to line them up
with rates reduced earlier in the week
by the three. transcontinentals In. the
case of the St. Louis road, altho only a
few points on the WATERFOWL branch
end were affected, they happened to be
the heaviest grain points the road pos
sesses. The difference was from 1.2
cents to 2 cents.
Reductions in the rate to Chicago
will follow as soon as the western lines
can be got together, the Illinois Cen
trail, Rock Island, st. Louis, North
Western, Milwaukee and the Omaha.
| In reply to complaints that the rail,
roads which made the generous reduc.
ton to the farmer in the expenses of
transporting his crop to the market
have made good by announcing a 21a.
cent advance in the lake and rail rate
to the sea board for Sept. l, it is said
that there is no connection. The sweep.
I ing all-rail reduction had been con.
templated for a year, while the lake
and rail advance is casual in the fall
and would have ia Ken place anyway.

CITIES HANDLE
ENORMOUS SUMS
Census Elbows Finalces Of Cities
Over $4,000 Rank with Those
of Nation.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The bureau Of
the census has just published bulletin
20, presenting statistics of cities hay-
ing population Of over $4,000. This
bulletin contains comparatively few
statistics relating to the population liv-
ing in these cities, but is for the most
part compilation of data relative to
machinery Of the municipal corpora
tions, forming a sort Of statistical in
ventory and balance Sheet.
One finds in these tables such facts as
the length Gin miles) and the area Gin
square yards) Of the paved streets elias.
sifed with reference to kind Of paving
miles of sewer; number Of street lamps
miles of street railway track; number
Of school buildings and number of
teachers and pupils; the number of pub.
lie libraries with the number Of vol.
umes they contain.
But by far the greater part of the
tabular matter consists Of financial
statistics. In the aggregate the fnan.
cial transactions Of the ITS cities in.
Guided IN this report equal in magni
tude those of the national government
! The total corporate receipts for these
cities amounted to $541,624, 203, while
the revenues of the United States gov,
eminent in the fiscal year 1904, exclu
siye Of postal revenues, were $540,631,
749. The total corporate expenditures
of the cities were $535,S04,2O0; the ex
penditures Of the United States gov
eminent were 582,4O2,321. The ma
tional debt in 1904 amounted to 1895,
l57 40; the aggregate debt Of the liz
cities, exclusive of sinking fund as
sets, was $1,134,57S,7S3. The receipts
expenditures and debt for the city Of
New York represent about one-third OF
| the city totals.

periences has been the efforts Of GER
tain persons to induce religious and
educational institutions to refuse to
accept money described as tainted
This movement must be regarded as a
protest against the evils complained Of,
rather than as serious effort to cor
rect them. It hardly will be supposed
that it's supporters really believe any
thing like faint can attach to. such a
representative Of general value as a
check. For instance, in the case of
money given anonymously, it can, hard
ly be thought that any moral short
comings Of the donor could possibly
be SO inherent in the money as to viii
ate it's use.
eff we look on the practical side Of
the question, it is quite clear that it is
impossible for any body Of men to
know whore to draw the line in refus-
ing gifts. If they draw the line they
prevent rich men, who gained wealth
uniustly, but who have a perfect legal
right to it, from making the only kind
