In his speech at the Minnesota
state fair President I Hill Of. the
Great Northern used the following
expressions:
The average man is often more
interested in speculative theories
that in his plain duty toward HIM
self and his neighbor. The average
state is filled with visions Of its
place in the procession Of the
years, while it overlooks the run
ming account Of daily expenses.
Within forty-four years we shall
have to meet the wants of more
than 200,0OO,0OO people. =
Notwithstanding the addition Of

will approach an ironless age.

Chio's Two Cent Railroad Fare.
Shouts OF satisfaction greeted the an
nouncement in the Ohio legislature that
Governor Pattison had signed the bill
which limits steam railroad fares in
Ohio to ? cents mile after March 10.
This measure, which has been for
years u standing joke among the Buck
eye LEGISLATORS. had been rushed through
the present I0wmaking body at Column
bus in response to the recent pop
ular wave OF anticorporation feeling
throu@hout the state and the whole
country. It is generally conceded that
the abolition Of free passes by the rail
roads tended to Whet the legislative
appetite for the two cent bill. The rail
road managers say that they will make
no attempt to fi%ht the law, which they
admit is constitutional It is said that
hereafter 10 round trip tickets viii be
sold. however. excursion rates will be
done away with aud that certain ac-
c0ngmodat.on trains will be taken Off.

EigfGy~five Cent Gas For Chicago.
At a special meeting the Chicago
council passed the eighty-fye cent gas
ordinance 81 to 10 over the mayors
veto. He had considered rs cents a
proper figure and wanted TO have the
companies furnish street lighting free.
At the same time it was ordered that
the question of voting 5000. 600 for
the purchase Of street railways by the
city be submitted to the voters at the
April election. The effort to raise the
saloon license to 5000 instead\of $500
failed Of passage by one vote.
Pennsylvania Emancipation.
The extraordinary session Of the leg
islatuYe at Harrisburg has earned be-
yond all cayil the title of reform" by
it's enactment of a law providing for
uniform direct primaries throughout
the state beginning Nov. / next. Only
twenty three votes We're cast against
it in the house, but it went through
the senate unanimously. This, together
with the personal registration bill,
which was already in the governors
hands, brings the dawn of a better
day in the affairs of the Keystone
State. Hereafter the primaries for all
parties will be held on the same day
under the supervision Of the regular
election officers at the cost of the state.
Each party has a separate ballot, and
candidates can get on the ballot by
popular petition. At the same time the
bill providing for civil service reform
in Philadelphia was passed. The legis
lature adjourned Feb. Is.
The legislature also passed resolu-
tons for the purpose Of getting at the
facts connected with the coal mining
maintained by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and its allied lines.
New York Merger.
The opponents of the proposed merg-
err of all the traction interests in New
York city have been active in many
ways, and on petition Of w r. Hearst

GATES to show cause why the combine

were made to the assembly to pass the

Mine Workers and the members of the
anthracite scale committee began their
conference with the mine operators
and coal railroad officers Feb. Is at the
NE" 1OIh ONCE Vi lu1 Jersey O0ntldI.
Prior to the conference President Baer
of the Jersey Central said frankly that
the miners would have to strike or
back down. The demands of the an
thracite miners include union recogni
ton, an eight hour day for all classes
of labor, 10 per cent increase in
wages to all classes and separate con-
Citation boards for each district.
These demands, however, were not
ready for formal presentation, and the
conference adjourned after appointing
q joint committee to consider them
when ready. The miners scored a point
when the operators agreed to consider
each demand separately.

A partial settlement of the strike of
