Mixing Oil and Water.

There are renewed reports that the
Standard Oil company will try 10 pla-
cate public sentiment by watering its
stock. To increase the capital from
500, 100000 to 100000. 900 would ac-
complish two things which are suppos-
ed TO be important. 1t would make
the dividends only about one-siXth as
high as they aTe-Say or Z per cent,
instead of 80 TO 40. Who would think
of attacking a corporation which divi-
dends were no more than or Z per
cent? By increasing the stock the
managers would have an additional ar
ticle to dispose of. They now sell pc
troleum and its products; they would
then also sell shares. 1t is assumed
that the public would be more friendly
to the prosecuted combination if stock
We're distributed through the commun
ity.
The scheme has some merits from
the point of view of The men now in
control of the Company. If they in
creased the capital to $500 600. 900 they
could offer S200.000.000 to the public.
and sell it perhaps at premium and
they would still be the owners of two
thirds OF the concern and pocket two
thirds of the profits, and all the profits
they could make on the money paid to
them for the stock They might do
even better They might sell common
stock and attach most of the profits
and all the voting power TO the pre-
ferred stock.
The only merit claimed for the Stand
ard Oil is that ii has not watered its
stock and sold its shares. Such reports
as it would have to make if it listed
its stocks in the exchanges would not
altogether satisfy the public. and the
new shareholders would not be numer-
Gus enough TO control public sentiment.
\ better plan would be 10 abandon
corrupt practices and treat its rivals
and the public with some regard for
law and fair dealing. The people are
not going TO be deceived about the pro
fits of the concern by distributing them
over a larger nominal surface of CAPT

Where All is Calm

The Wall Street Journal says: 1t
must have been great relief to the New
York life insurance companies when
the glare of publicity began to fall
upon the Standard Oil company. The
Standard Oil company in turn had rea-
son TO rejoice when the revelations of
graft on the Pennsylvania railroad
turned public attention from its secret
rates and oppressive methods of de
stroying competition. And now inter
est in the Pennsylvania railroad is
swallowed up in the Overwhelming pub
Iicity given to the beef trust methods"
1t is worthy of note, too, says Bry-
ans COmmoner. that while the manag-
ers of the insurance companies, the
managers of the Standard Oil trust and
the managers of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company are more or less disturb
ed because of the revelations concern
ing their misdeeds the managers OF the
republican party are wonderfully calm.
They make no effort to restore to the
pOlicyhOlders, and other helpless vic
tins. the several hundred thousand dol
lars embezzled by trusted officials with
the aid and assistance of the republi-
can party managers and for the benefit
of the republican party's treasury.

Philadelphia Ledger: Forty years ago
there were $780, 900 negroes in the north
ern states; today there are 100000
Then rs per cent of the total number
of negroes in the country lived in the
north: now more than 1913 per cent
live here. This fact is the more sig
nificant when it is remembered that
the negro does not flourish in the
north The birth rate here barely
equals the death rate Our increasing
black population was born south of
the line; it has migrated hither. Last
winter Virginia found itself forced 20
invite laborers from abroad. Two
thirds of the counties of that state
have decreased in colored population
since 1880. The soil of Virginia is go
ing out of cultivation because of the
lack of labor.

possesses the deepest gold mine in the
world Within the last few weeks the
shafts at the New Chum railway at
Bendigo. Victoria, have been sunk to
a depth OF over 1890 feet and the
quartz there tapped has been sampled
and crushed. with the result that
yield of gold equal to an ounce per ton
has been obtained. The operations in

never before in the worlds history has
gold been obtained from so low a

IMPROVED COTTON GIN.
Invention Separates Lint From seed
without Injury to Fiber.

without IajEry to Fiber.
A new invention promises to revolu
tionize the ginning of cotton. writes
correspondent OF the Charleston News
and Courier. The inventor is j. 4.
Fuller of Texas.
This gin separates the lint from the
seed by combinG process The comb
consists of steel wire hooks i'll Il reyolY-
ing cylinder. There are no ribs like
those of saw gin, but there is sta
tionary comb above the cylinder,
through which the teeth of the revolv-
ing comb pass. The result is that the
lint is pulled from the seed uninjured,
instead of being cut TO pieces by Il
saw In the presence of your cor
respondent some of the same lot OF cot
ton was run through the combing gin
and saw gin. There was so much
difference in the looks, feeling and
strength of the lint obtained by the
two processes that one could hardly
believe that it was not two very diff
ferent grades of cotton. The preServ-
Ing of the staple intact will add
strength and lasting quality of thread
and cloth.
Mr.. Fuller also claims several other
advantages for his gin. 1t will gin wet
cotton. as it will not clog up and pro
duce fire by friction against the ribs
The cotton does not fall from the
feeder on top of the saws, but below
the ginning comb, to another revolving
comb. which throws the cotton through
Il third revolving comb, up to the gin
ming comb. which catches il in its hooks
and carries the line through the station
airy comb. where ii is drawn from the
seed. 4 stick or Il nail or Il handful of
dirt thrown into the gin does not affect
its operation. UAlike the saws of saw
gin, the ginning comb can be stopped
in n moment by touching Il lever ut the
side of the gin without stopping the
engine or any other part of the gin.
The comb teeth are Independent OF each
other and if one gets damaged it can
be taken out like sewing machine
needle and another quickly put in Its
place.
