Uncle Sam Must Loosen Up.

One Of those financial experts, who
may always be found figuring out some
thing in finance with reference to some
thing else, has gone in detail into the
matter Of the value of brains as esti-t
mated by the government and by the:
rules Of commerce and finance. He finds
a number Of glaring Inconsistencies,
perhaps the most striking of which is
that Of the financial return to the men
who stand at the head of our govern
ment, and the. men at the head Of one
of the larger institutions Of New York
city. The president and nine members
Of his cabinet draw $4,000 year in
salaries. The president and nine prin-
cipal officers of the fnancial corpora
tion, an insurance company, draw $685.
900. In the light of responsibility there
is no possible comparison between the
duties Of the men who have only to con-
Germ themselves with the affairs of
ties resting upon the men who handle
governmental affairs. On the basis of
money responsibility, or at least of sal
airy, relative to money Importance, the
comparison is even more glaringly I'M
fair, for the corporation named has an
annual income of $96,000,0O0 annually,
while the government had an income
last year of seas, $1,000. The president
gets compensation that does not look so
bad, altho the head Of the insurance
company, with 100000 a year receives
| just twice as much, but between the
cabinet officers, with $4,000, and the
nine officers of the insurance company
with salaries ranging from $4,000 down
to $1,000 the discrepancy is very
! marked.
/ It has long been the rule that any
man of brains can do better if he sell
the product Of his brain, or give It's
work to private affairs than by work.

Thomas B. Reed left public life poor

ability and energy that he had given te

Restricting Stock Issues,

Governor La Toilette has expressed
his regret in message to the Wiscon-
sin legislature, that the railroad bill
just passed does not include provision
requiring the consent Of the state rail
road commission to any new issue of
stock OF bonds, and proof that such is
sue is to be expended in adding to the
mileage or equipment of the road.
They might be able to do something
with such law in Wisconsin, but Min
nesota has had practically the measure
outlined by La Toilette, for no less
than eighteen years, and in all that
time it has been dead letter. The
law was passed in 1887, at the same
time as much other railroad legislation,
and it is still on the statute books. It
requires all issues Of stock to be made
after application to the railroad COM
mission, and after securing their con-
sent. "And in no case,' says Sec
ton 2740 Of the General Statutes of
1894, "shaH any capital stock be is
sued by any railroad corporation until
the full amount Of such stock shall
have been paid to the corporation, in
money, labor or materials actually used
in construction Of the road Of such cor
poration.'' i u
There is no case on record, as far as
The Journal is aware, where the
commission has refused it's consent to
a new issue Of stock. Every applica-
ton has been most obediently ap-
proved, tho there are instances where
new stock was most Enthusiastically
water. AS the territory covered by a
railroad increased in population and
in products, and the line brought big
ger returns, stock issues were made tc
keep pace with the increase in value
and altho made on, the pretext Of pro
viding for new lines and equipment, il
would have been easy for the commits
sion to ascertain the real facts. The
law is plain in requiring that the
money or the other things of value
must have been paid in before thu
stock is issued, while the common prac
tice is to issue the stock first and sci
it afterward, or to issue it pro rata tt
the stockholders without any none,
paid in, the process commonly callet
"cutting nlelon.'' The law wa
plainly framed to prevent such con
duct, and at has signally failed in it
purpose. Thru the inactivity or indif
ference of state officials, opportunitie
to prevent these impositions on tn
public have been let slip. The publ
is now paying dividends on the ficti
tlous ard unnecessary issues Of stock.
Minnesota has as good railroad law
as any state in the union. In fact
we have enough laws now. What W

THE NEW WORLD BRAND.
Things Done Instead of Things
 Thought O..

St. Petersburg. June 1O-The text of President Roosevelt's personal ap- peal to the sovereigns of the warning cOun tries to arrange a meeting of plen- ipotentiaries for the purpose of agree ing on terms of peace came like a bombshell to skeptics. who refused to believe that the presidents efforts to bring the beIligerents together would succeed. His purpose to bring about a meeting having been achieved, it is now merely a question whether the re- suit will be peace. Diplomats here make no attempt to conceal their ad- miration for the new world brand of diplomacy, which acts while the re- mainder of the world thinks. The for mai replies of Russia and Japan are expected to be transmitted through their respective representatives at Washington, but the situation is such as to leave no doubt of acceptance by both. The selection of the plenipoten- ttaries and the place Of meeting will follow. The battlefield of Manchuris will probably be the place. All the powers are practically committed to a policy of non-interference. England is expected to restrain her ally and in duce Japan ito offer terms which Rus Sia can accept.

MURDFROUS INCIDENTS
Attending the Apparently Decadent
 Chicago Strike.

Chicago. June 1O.-This evening while Frederick Jones, a coIOTed team. ster, was unloading some lumber al an uncompleted building at West Eighteenth and Sangamon streets, a mob of numbering men, women and children surrounded him and com menced to throw stones and other Iuis- sles. Policemen Benson and Schema ser, who were guarding the wagon. drew their clubs and attempted to drive back the mob. with but little ef- feet, both officers being struck several times with stones.
 While the trouble was at its height. John Hince, a union teamster. forced his way through the crowd and. con- ing upon Jones while he was stooplng over throwing off some lumber, struck him over the head with an axe, cut ting a gash in his scalp three inches long. Hince struck a second tima, taking off several fingers of Jones left hand, which he raised to protect him self. Hince then attempted to escape. and Officer Benson, who started in pursuit, was greatly hampered by the crowd, which tried to shield Hince. Hince was captured by the officer af- ter a chase of two squares. The con dition of Jones is serious.
 Samuel Rohlston, a paper hanger was shot and killed tonight by Frank Austin, a new colored policeman. who was guarding a wagon owned by RothschiId & Go. The wagon was passing the corner of Forty-third and State streets when one of a crowd of men shouted at the wagon.

THE AccEPTANCES
Both BelIigerents Express Their Graft
 tude to the United States.

Washington, June 1O.-Japan's ac- ceptance of the presidents "Offer of good will'' has reached the state de- partment in a cablegram from Minis ter Griscom. Russia's reply followed the Japanese reply later, but not in time to be deciphered tonight. IL is expected that both will be made pub lie tomorrow. No word regarding the character of either reply can be ob- tained beyond the important fact that both are acceptances and both express the gratitude of the respective govern ments for the presidents offer of good will.
 An interesting fact regarding the negotiations of last week is the power ful influence brought to bear upon Russia by France to accept the offer of the president and appoint plenipo- tentiaries to discuss peace with Japan. Loyal support from Paris has been given to the presidents efforts from the first.
