A Daily Thought.

Thoughtful people have doubts, but
doubts ought not to be the sum total
in life. Doubts ought to be like
clouds that by and by are swept from
the sky. We have got to have sun
up and sunlight, and the blanketing
of the clouds must some time be
torn away and the sunlight must get
at the flowers of the world, lest the
flowers fail to bloom and exhale per
fume to the sky.-William A. Quayle.

Remarks on Grain Elevators.

On the specific subject Of grain ele-
vators Hill testified: Yes, it is our
rule to permit any one to erect eleva-
tors at stations of our road on the
right of way. We now make our con-
tracts, however, not transferable, as
we have found instances where such
applications were not made in good
faith and afterwards sold at a good
figure. We have found trouble in keep
ing elevators from combining. When
we have found Objectionable elevator
combines we have sometimes built
elevators of our own and placed some
man in charge. In such instances the
combines have tried to freeze our man
out.

His answers were given to all ques-

He told Of the tremendous grain traf-

in 1870 hanled 2,S7O,00O bushels, while
in 1896 this had increased to proba-

it certainly is not, was the reply IF
the connecting roads would move

better. The fact that the traffic IS

simply the fault of the immense

We desire today TO make a brief
comment on the proclamation of Gov
ernor Winthrop.
There is in the document in ques-
ton something which, as in everyth-
ing that is the product of a lofty
spirit, the stamp Of justice and the
august splendor of truth.
The proclamation Of Governor Win
|throp is of supreme importance for
US; it contains an affirmation which
honors us and which was not accord
ed us On frequent occasions by the
predecessors of the present Gov
ernor.
Listen to the words of Mr.. Win
throp:
But above all else we have another
powerful reason for feeling thankful
it is for the progress that has been
made in the civic spirit of Our people,
which has been manifested by these
two qualities: self control and resp
ect for the law.
There is something to rectify in
this paragraph, but before touching
on this we wish to first appland the
complimentary declaration which the
worthy Governor, in spirit of simple
justice. has made concerning us.
The civic spirit has been manifested
in Porto Rico by self control and resp
ect for the law. This is what has been
said by the Governor, sndl it is this
statement to which we wish to call
the attention of our readers and upon
which we desire to comment. There
have been those who without autho-
(rity and proper understanding have
talked Of our hopeless unprepared-
ness and yet we now have this other
honest and positive declaration made
IN an official document, in a procla-
nation of the first authority Of the
Island, that above everything else
Thanksgiving day should be celebra-
ted for the public spirit manifested
by our people by means of these two
qualities: self control and respect
for the law.
The Governor speaks Of the pro-
grcss and development Of public spi-
rit; this is not exact. 1t is not enti-
rely correct, for it is in a measure

overlooking the splendid exhibitiohn
of civic education given by this
country in former days, m the midst
of the disorder, disturbance and anar-
chy so rampant during the epoch Of
a governor of funerea1 memory.
Over and above the progress of a
civic spirit, what we chiefly ought to
celebrate is its temperance, its
awakening after the 1amentab1e
eclipse it has suffered for SO long
a time.
This admirable civic spirit, which
has called forth the praise of our
Governor and for which we are told
We ought to offer up thanks before

bic condition Of comerce and that we
have been spared the visitation of a

saddened by the presence of go

1t existed here as the product of
q perfect and admirable political
educatioR, OF general culture per
tcctly grounded. And the proof of
this may be found in the fact that S
soon as man of rectitude and i'm
partial spirit occupied the highest
post Of authority, the invitation to
order was spontaneously seconded the
example of the government was inst
antly initiated; from all sections was

In two or three years it is not pos
sible to educate people to degree

years, because Mr. Winthrop well
knows, and all the authorities in the
national Capital know equally well.

HOTELS ARE TAXED TO
ACCOMMODATE GUESTS

Rooms a.; the hotels are at a premium
today owing to the great influx Of state
fair visitors, and many are the make
shifts resorted to III order to, shelter
tho1e who arrive after every room is
filed. J; - -.
One hotel is putting cots in its din
ing room which are availa Bile only after
supper, and must be vacated before
breakfast. This does not give the
eight hours Of sleep advocated by the
physical culture books, but is preferable
to a night on park bench. = ~.
Accommodations fo. 70 man and his
wife were found nthe private office
of another hotel. This same place al
ready had ITS cots in addition to it's
regular accommoda tions. A third hotel
has take nthe register off the desk as
sign that no more guests can be accom-
modated. Another hostelry, usually
well patronized, has only three names
on it's register today, tho yesterdays
page is filled. The reason is not far to
seek. The three names written today
have no room numbers after them and
have deferred others from registering
on the off chance that some room might
be vacated. AS was the case yesterday,
ninety-fve out Of hundred of the per
sons registering are from points in
Minnesota.
