Sc FLOUR, WHY?

There is probably something more than
a coincidence in the boosting OF the
wheat market and the increase OF the
price OF flour from $3.50 barrel TO So. fol-
lowing the decision of the interstate COM
merce commission approving the rebates
paid to the grain trust by the Western
railroads.
The -four trust and the grain trust nat
urally are in harmonious relations. So
when the authority of federal regulation
strengthens the grip OF the grain trust
upon producers and consumers of the
product which IL monopolizes, nothing
is more natural than that the price OF
grain and -four should go up. The price
OF flour follows the price of wheat. The
price of wheat has gone up not because
OF any law OF supply and demand, but
for the simple reason that the monopoly
which controls the wheat supply has re-
ceived something like legal warrant Tor
the continuance OF its extortion.
Here is the real reason for dollar wheat.
The farmers, of course, will not get dol
lar a bushel They will get whatever the
grain trust pleases to pay, because the
monouoly dictate the price to the farmers
absolutely, and there Is always one price,
which the wheat raiser can take or leave.
Plenty of evidence has been produced TO
prove this In the wheat field IL does not
need to be proved. Everybody out there
knows IL from experfence.-New YORK

NEW TEST FOR
TUBERCULOSIS

Prof. Roux's new test for the presence
OF tuberculosis In man or animals. de-
scribed In a special cable despatch 10 the
Herald. is certainly a novel one and CAL
culated to interest all students OF that
disease. OF course, his studies and those
OF Prof Vale have been purely expert
mental and so far necessarily limited In
extent. but they nevertheless bear the
stamp OF high authority, and on that ac-
count will challenge wider and fuller coll
laboration by others.
The plan Is TO apply tuberculin TO a
specially made abrasion OF the skin.
When tuberculosis is present, even in
most obscure form in man or animal, n

plication. AT best however this can only
prove that there is a special susceptibility
TO such local infection in consumptive
cases. and not in others. This will be an
exceedingly difficult matter to settle In

pro and con, that must be necessary un-
der the circumstances.

PERPETUAL GAS
MONOPOLY

The gas trust claim OF the right to ex-
ploit the New York public forever by
virtue OF charters granted by the legisla-
ture is an extreme example of corporate
arrogance.
No man needs charter to make or sell
gas. If he combines with other men 10 do
so he may seek incorporation from the
state department. He may also seek a
legislative charter to do business. Such
charters were In this case subject. as the
trusts counsel admits, ''to certain limita-
tons by the city as to digging In the
streets. These limitations have conceded
ly expired In some cases"
Even IL the charters are perpetual, as
claimed: even IT, as claimed they now
tntitle the trust 20 continue occupying
streets which its right TO dig up" has ad-
mittedly expired; even II it's charters are
rot voided by forbidden combinations.
the legislature can still repeal such char
ters. Its right to repeal any grants what
ever which 1t has made Is expressly re-
served in the constitution OF the state.
The action which Attorney-General
Jackson seeks 20 begin and which Is op-
posed by the claim OF perpetual monopoly
has nothing TO do with the action In the
federal courts to test the so-cent gas law.

ANOTHER DoUMA DISSOLVED.

There would appear to be little chance for
the success of popular government in Russia after
this latest and summary suppression of the douma
The power OF the autocratic czar has suppressed
two paraments of the people before they had any
real opportunity to legslate for their constituents
or to exercise any of their limited functions for
the betterment of the empire.
In that part of the imperial decree which calls
for the assembling of new douma on Nov. ID ur-
der the new election law, there is something sim
lister in the provisions against the "submergenee
OF the educated classes by the uneducated masses"
No one need be told what that means, and if
another douma assemblies its membership will
be made up of men of the submissive sort who can
be trusted to approve whatever the bureaucrats
recommend and to make no attempt at the en-
actment of laws for the betterment of the coun-
try.
Twice the czar has made an attempt to estab-
ish very limited sort of representative govern
ment both have been failures and in the light of
recent events were probably doomed to be fiascos
from the outset.
AT the same time a sense OF justice compels
the admission that for this latest dissolution the
bureaucracy had some shadow of excuse. The
radical element in the douma demanded everything
and was not inclined to yield much. Moreover,
some of its members went to London and partici-
pated in congress the avowed purpose of which
was the destruction of the Russian empire The
czars cabinet refused to condone this offence and
dissolution followed
The difficulty is that the one side is rad
ical and the other side unfortunate
people whose representatives themselves at times
become radical under long and terrible suffering.
II is case of distrust and friction and these
from the latest dissolution may incte another
olution that will make Russia the most bloody
ground" in all Europe.

or the plots against Gov. Peabody. 1t Is
only for the murder OF Gov. Steunenberg
that he Is on trial, and some of tho other
crimes which Orchard was allowed 10
describe to the jury were admittedly COM
mitted before Haywood was member
OF the central body OF the Federation.
Orchards testimony alone, however. Is
not sufficient TO convict. 1t must be corr
roborated. and this Is the most difficult
task that confrons the prosecution. That
Steunenberg was murdered admits OF no
doubt That orchard planted the bomb
which blew him to pieces co1ld be proved
by circumstantial evidence wholly apart
from the assassin's confession, but Hay
wood is not yet to be brought directly
into the crime except through the testi-
mony OF orchard. IT remains to bo seen

THE DENVER CONVENTION.

An important convention will open at Denver,
Colo, tomorrow, to consider the matter of western
coal lands Many serious attempts have been
made on the part of the railroads to secure pos
session of these lands on the easiest Of terms but
the national government believes the coal deposits
should be reserved for the benefit of the nation.
At the convention the interior department will have
spokesmen to ably present its side Of the contro-
versy. On the other hand, Senator Carter is a
determined opponent of the governments policy
in interfering in any way in this matter. He has
gone to the extent of calling at the White House
to give sort of warning to the administration to
keep its hands off the convention.
According to Senator Carter, the whole sub
ject is one for state regulation and the national
government has no right to levy any tax on coal
production in the West, as he claims the western
states, through the tariff and the internal revenue,
pay their full share of taxes. Secretary Garfield
wishes to lease the mining rights entirely separate
from the surface rights in all land held by the
government. Senator Carter looks upon such a
course as taxing coal 1t will be interesting to
see just what the delegates from the western states
and counties most vitally interested in the ques-
ton will determine.
The present administration has called the
turn on many schemes hitherto successfully worked
by the railroads. and there is naturally considerable
anxiety in Washington to discover whether the
railroads the delegates and their decision
as club over the government.
