MIR. HILL GIVES FACTS,

o"J" AAOSdboE COMPANIES are Treating
the Farmers Unfairly.
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railroad, was witness be-
fore the opening session of the inter-
state commerce hearing in the Mime
apolis federal building on Thursday
last. The hearing was relative to the
transportation and handling of grain
in the northwest.
Mr.. Hill proved to be a willing wit
ness. His answers we're given to all
questions without hesitation and in
detail.
He told calmly of the tremendous
grain traffic on his road, excelling
each years business as much as the
grain hauled into Chicago in year
by all the roads running into that
city. He said the Great Northern in
1879 hauled 2,789,o0O bushels, while
in 1896 this had increased to probably
49, 100000 bushels. In view of the
fact that the bulk of the Great North
ern business comes from the farmers,
ne said it had always been his policy
to aid the farmer whenever possible.
us it the policy of your road, Mr..
Hill, to delay freight for any reason?"
was one of the opening questions.
"No, it certainly is not" was the
reply.
IF the connecting roads would
move freight faster we could do
great deal better. The fact that traffic
is sometimes congested on our line is
simply the fault of the immense amount
of accumulated business. Other lines
are more open to criticism than the
Great Northern. In Chicago a few
days ago I took especial pains to
make inquiris about traffic and could
not get single line which would
agree to move 200, 900 tons of freight
to New York before December. The
Great Northern can right along handle
all business received from the east
promptly. The congestion comes from
traffic from the west. -
On the specific subject of grain
elevators, Mr.. Hill testified:
eyes, it is our rule to permit any,
one to erect elevators at stations of
our road on the right-of-way. We
now make our contracts, however,
not transferable as we have found in.
stances where such applications we're
not made in good faith and afterwards
sold at good figure. We have found
considerable trouble in keeping ele-
vators from combining, and sometimes
in tracing down applications for ele-
lvator sites have found different ap-
plicants to really represent the one
interest. When we found objection
able elevator combines we have some
times built elevators of our own and
placed some man in charge. In such
instances the combines have tried to
freeze our man out. We had an in
stance at Litchfeld, but were able to
help our man out. But that, gentle
men,, Mr.. Hill said with smile,
"was before the passage of the inter-
state commerce law. ''s1
In regard to the Great Northern IS
terminal elevators at the head of the
lakes Mr.. Hill stated his company did
operate them because of the Wisconsin
law requiring grain in that state to be
inspected by Wisconsin inspectors,
and that these elevators were now
leased. They are located on Wis
consin ground.

business that we cannot control the

we think, will the military powers Of
selves above the national government.
Now it Is to be seen whether the
church can succeed where the army
failed, and whether the authority
which should be purely spiritual is al
so to be emporal-whether France is
also to be governed in civil processes
at Paris or at Rome. The news from.
France will be watched with grave
anxiety, and yet with some degree of
assurance that in the end all must
come right The government is, in
the last analysis, as resolute as 1t has
been tactful and conciliatory, and 1T
unquestionably is supported by the
overwhelming majority of the peo-
pie. Under such circumstances its de-
termination to endure no hierarchical
impeium in republica must certainly
prevail though it may be at cost
which both France and the world
would wish to spare"
Cardinal Gibbons, in long and in
teresting statement given out Oh
Thursday of last week, declares that
the American people do not rightly I'M
derstand what the French government
is doing. They are not merely sepa-
rating church and state, he says:
II am weighing my words, and ]
say with deliberate conviction that the
leaders of the present French govern
ment are actuated by nothing less
than hatred of religion. We have no
spirit akin to theirs in this country.
We have here much Indifference to
religion but we have no body of men,
no great party, that makes it chief
aim to weaken the power of religion,
and if possible utterly to destroy it out
of the land"
In proof of this he quotes atheistic
expressions from French government
tai leaders, including the following
from Mr.. BRAND, the minister of pub
lie worship.

the minds of French children the an

free thought; it is time to get rid of
Jesus Christ out of the army, the ma
Wy, the schools, the hospitals, insane
and orphan asylums and law courts,

state altogether"
The Register, Catholic weekly pub
lished in New York, proposes that the
100000 Catholics in the United
States and Canada boycott all French
goods, as protest against the action
Of the French government. "These
catholics are our spiritual kinsmen,
hey are our brothers in the sight of
God" it exclaims, and a boycott of
french goods that would reduce the
Trench exports to the tune of $50,000,-
100 or $100,000,000 would bring the
government to time. 1t adds:
Touch the pockets of France and
you strike her deadly blow. Her de-
sire to confiscate all the great prop
,rty of the Catholic church is because
she needs the immense sums for her
greedy government and her internal
rud external expenses. Convince her

cusAN ANNExATIoNIsrs ARE
 A MINORITY

Some of those in the United States, who have not had their appetite for territorial expansion in countries that are over-populatsd by one or more of the various colored races satiated by the experiences of the last decade, hail the present Cuban crisis ss an ''op- portunity" for the United States to grab that country. Others think the duty implied by the acceptance of the "white mans burden" theory oblgstes our countryfo step in and assume ownership of the negroes and half breeds of the Pearl of the Antilles. However, both of these classes are in very insigniti- cant minority.
 There is very little thirst on the part of the American people for the addi- tionsl "gIory" that would follow the acquisition of Cubs. Nor is President Roosevelt holding out much hope to those of either class that prays for it The strenuous executive has conducted the negotiations on the part Of the United States during the present crisis with a stemperance that .bespesks either 8 change in his ideas of what consti- tutes greatness or that he has caught the drift of public sentiment and de- sires not to move counter to it He is showing very plainly that 1t is his pur- pose to avoid assuming charge of Cuban affairs if that be possible, and if he shall find it necessary to assume control we may expect the assumption to be accompanied by declaration that it is not the purpose of the United States to retain permanent possession of the island.
 The refusal of the American people to respond to the Annex Cuba" cry leaves DO room to doubt that the terri torial expansion fever has run it's course. Of course the people would like terri tory in which the American race could expand, but they are not seeking to an- nex more of the worlds fostering sores. The experiences in the Philippines, in Porto Rico, in Panama and in other sections have shown that there Is neither profit or pleasure in attempting the impossible task of making Americans out of the un- countsble tribes of the tropics. The people refuse to permit their attention to be diverted from internal diseases. that thrive when they are indulg- ing a passion for conquest, by the ''op- portunity" to find another territory and another people over which and whom to hoist their flag.
 And the people are sickenIng ot the "white mans burden" to the extent that they are realizing with more and more clearness that we have a greater duty than that of winning colored hesthens to our religion and civilization. We have our own civilization to care for, and it's condition is such that 1t offers field for the best efforts Of our brain and money.
 The American people do not want Cuba. President Roosevelt knows that, and it is not likely that he will take the island to hold forever. Nor is it likely that the people would permit him to take it to hold forever ii he

DISTRICT COURT BUSY.
Travellers Insurance Case on Today.
Fadden Damage Case Next,

The district court is occupied today
with the case of the State .of North
Dakota and J. B. Wineman, special ad-
ministrator for Otto Schmidt, vs.. the
Travellers Insurance company. It will
be remembered that Schmidt was kill
ed at Larimore on Aug. "a, 1904, while
engaged in his duties as tender of the
coal dock for the Great Northern. He
carried insurance with the Travellers
company for 1880. 1t was made pay
able to his father, but as the benefi-
ciary or other heirs could not be found,
States Attorney Wineman holds that
1t goes to the state. The insurance
company holds that under the circum-
stances they are not obliged to make
the policy good.
The damage case of Guy L. Sayles
va. Dick Fadden, marshal of Larimore,
will probably be called tomorrow. The
Fawcett case is next in order-a VIC
lation Of the prohibition law-but as
