TREND OF PUBLIC FEELING.

It is hardly possible now to keep track of the anti-monopoly movements in the Western States, Missouri, for example, has just passed a maximum freight rate bill; Wisconsin is making a determined effort to force the rail- roads within her borders to terms;
 South Dakota is thinking of going into manufacture of binding twine to de- feat the trust, and Minnesotas legis-
 lators are considering the advisability of a State factory to turn out harvest ing and binding machines. Add such cases as these to what Kansas is doing in the matter of oil refining and we have indications of an aroused public feeling in that part of the country which may we'll give the monopolists some uneasy moments. Of course, not all of these movements may amount to much some of them may end in very impracticable and foolish schemes; but the feeling they represent must sooner or later be translated into legislation of real force. When that time comes, however, it will be better; if the laws are made by Congress rather than the States; for comprehensiveness and uni formity will in the end be found essen- tial for wholly effective restriction of the unfair use of. corporate power Prividence Journal. ..-- Co.

TESTER SToEh MARKET

An Affair of Constant Fluctuations.
 New York, March 2S.--To-days stock market was an affair of constant fiuc- tuations, giving an appearance of un- certainty to the temper of the spec ulation, but the fluctuations were most ly below last nights level. The occa- sional rallies were poorly held and the end of the day showed the average of prices considerably below last night. Call money again touched four per cent, and the outlook in the money market plainly was the most direct fac- tor in the operations of the day. Prep arations were being made for the sub seriptions to the new Japanese loan,
 which is to be offered to-morrow, a $75,000,0o0 installment being New York's portion Those In charge of the offer ing claim that every safeguard will be adopted to protect the money market from disturbance, and the operation will be largely in the nature of a trans
 fer of book accounts between banks.
 But Wall street argues that an oper- ation of that magnitude Is not perfect ed without a shifting of loans on a
 large scale. As the surplus is just now
 unusually low for this period of, the
 year, there was some natural misgiving that the money market might not es- cape the spring furry. Reports from
 the south show general disposition
 to hold cotton at present low prices to await a recovery, which makes large requirement. for money Tn addition to the money situation the market had to
 pass another day without any veriffca ton of numerous merger or dividend | .ruHlers. A Southern Pacific dividend had been definitely set down for yes terday, and not being Forthcoming there was disappointment on the part of an clement which had bought or

NEY YoRK's BRAINY JEWS.

The Hebrews have 161 schools, in New York, to take the children in the afternoon when they come out of the public schools, and teach them to read and write Hebrew, and to understand their religion. Every synagog is a club where the older men spend much of their time debating great questions. The Educational Alliance company (Hebrew) has a huge plant, that cost $250, ,000, down in the East Side tene- ment region, filled with educational classes, clubs, lectures, libraries, all day and half the night. Innurnerable other clubs and classes debate all ques- tions. Male Hebrew immigrants, even the poorest and the most sordid work CTS are gathered into Hebrew night schools, where they are taught to read and write English. The textbook is the Constitution of the United States. They have host of daily and weekly papers of their own. -....... ... ?.

AMERICA SUPREME m TRADE
Statistics Show Conclusively That
This Country Leads the World
in Commerce.

During the last month. for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the facts as to
Americas relaiye position. industrialIy.
among other nations, have studied the
statistical reports Of our own and other
leading nations. says a writer in Cent
Per Cent. and the Investigations and
comment Of almost every important
daily and financial journal In America.
The universal verdict Of the press. ire
spective Of party affiliations, is that
Americas supremacy has been estab-
lished and that the nation faces the
dawn Of 1905 steaGied By the knowledge
Of the s,upeudous truth that. CONNER
cially, among the other nations OF the
world. she stards for the first time in
the forefront and alone. The RESPONSE
bility which comes with such knowledge
is SOLDERING.
But the report Of the bureau Of statis-
tics OF the government department OF
commerce will OF course carry greater
conviction than the news reports and
opinions OF even the most reliable jour
mails. This reports figures are in all
cases estimates. except Of the census OF
1900. but are approximately accurate:
however. for the most important items
the actual figures are available.
In cotton consumption the percentage
Of increase between 1850 and 1903 in the
United States is 107 per cent. as against
46 per cent. in the united kingdom Ger
many and France combined; in pig iron
49, per cent OF increase for America,
against 102 per cent increase in the
united Kingdom. Germany. France and
Russia combined: in coal 364 per cent.
increase in America, AGAINST 50 per cent.
increase in the four European countries
combined.
And as the percentage Of increase Is
larger, so the actual quantities OF these
three articles consumed are larger The
consumption OF cotton in the United
states in 1903 exceeded BY 80 per cent
thar ci the united kingdor and was
nearly double that Il Germany and
France combined. Of pig iron. the con-
sumption in the United states was con-
siderably more than double that OF the
united kingdom; OF coal. the consump-
ton in the United states was nearly
double that Of the united kingdom ane
fully double that OF Germany.
America has s2.000000 people. a tota
wealth az 100000 900 600. and the cash
value Of the cotton. corn and wheat
crops tcr the year is about s2.:i2, 600, 600.
The new year will be one OF almost un-
paralleled prosperity.
