The Alcohol Bill Passed.

Thirteen Stages of High Finance

( - +. : .
Life, which, with its jokes and
quips, sometimes gets pretty close to-
horse sense, has found thirteen divi-ts
sions or stages of high finance. There
are, in it's table, thirteen changes thru:
which the great moneyed man goes be-
fore he finally comes to grief. First
comes Concentration, then Accumulass
tion, then Organization and Combina- Z,
ton. These cover pretty well the,
bringing together of few little fac:
tories or few, hundred miles of rail
road, or the preliminary stages in the,
growth of an insurance or other fnan-
cial or fdueiary company. Prosperity
attends these first moves, and in comes
Imitation. Some means must now be
found for getting the water-logged
stock off the hands of the holders and
makers thereof, and so comes Syndica-
ton. Speculation now comes in, as q
matter of course, for the men behind
the guns, who know how much money
the concern is making or losing, and
what the periodical reports will show,
naturally get in and out Of the hold
ings from time to time. as advance IN
formation comes to them. ~ -: L. d
After a while things do not go so
well. POPULATION follows. Some high
fnancier makes false report or a
fake purchase or sale or transfer OF
securities Just before an annual report
is to appear, while the directors manip-
ulate the loans to their personal adj
vantage or for the benefit Of other com
panies they may be interested In. Some
one on the inside gets mad. The other
fellows are getting too much Of the
swag. Now comes Perturbation. Then
In proper order, and quickly enough tc
level great names to the ground, come
Investigation, Abdication, Restoration
Incarceration, and the high fnancte1

Send the Best Men.

The republicans Of Minnesota are:
not entering. the state campaign with
any feeling of overconfdence, They.
know that the -dis1odgement Of the
present administration is no holiday
task. To realize this fact means much,
and it accounts for a healthy spirit
that obtains in thesparty to very gen.
eral extent.
Personal feelings and ambitions are
not going to be allowed to stand in !. the the
way of success this year, and up TO
this time no candidate has showed
disposition to force himself on-the CEN

serious hopes of getting the nomination

The situation from a republican
standpoint is so favorable that it, is
encouraging candidates.. No one has

apparition of democratic victory.
There are seven men openly in the race
already, and in all probability nine or
ten names will be presented to the con
vention. That SO many leading repub-
licans have faith In the issue and are
willing to stake their political future
! upon it is itself encouraging. In their
numbers is safety. With only two#o1

easily as it did two years ago, and as
it is doing now in Iowa. ~l.E

ment on the recent speech made by MT
Rainev in the house, showing how
American watches can be oougnt
abroad, imported and sold at Is to 70
ner cent less than watches OF the same
description, from the same factories
which have never been abroad, can be
bought by the domestic purchaser.
IF the Herald knows Of SO many bet

have been able to give for tariff revi-t
sion. why doesn't it trot- them outF
The Herald thinks the selling Of Amer
lean watches abroad at so per cent OF
the price charged the American con-
sumner is all right because it enables the
American factory to dispose OF its sur
plus and thus keep its employees at
work. 49, :s;s .,rs *. 8.

back up the extortions of a trust when
