PLAIN TALK BY HARTMAN.
He censures Congress and the Presi-
dent and Advocates Railroad Com
bines and Tariff Revision.

Washington. D. C. - E. H. Harri-
man Wednesday night granted fare
well interview to Is newspaper men,
announcing that he would return to
New York Thursday and stop talking
for publication.
Mr. Hartman discussed trans
portation problems, railroad legislation
the tariff, the currency question, the
attitude of the public toward the rail-
road corporations and the probability
of panic in the future
AS to the currency and the tariff,
Mr.. Hartman said:
Il think the currency and tariff
questions should be settled in a more
definite way before congress and the
present administration devote so much
precious time to regulating the rail-
roads.
THE interests of the country de-
mand that there should be some modi-
fication of the tariff, but since we
have no Mckinley or Dingley l fear
the prospect for such legislation is
not very encouraging. The United
States will not always enjoy the pros
perity that has prevailed during the
last decade. Hard times certainly will.
come again unless congress and tho
people generally change their tactics
toward railroads and corporation in
terests.''
Admitting that the railroads to a
great extent are responsible for the
hostile movement now sweeping over
the country Mr.. Hartman said the
only way to solve the problem was
for the government and the great cor
porate interests to get into closer har-
mony and to try to bring about a So
luton that will be to the interests of
the government and to the railroads
as well.
Mr.. Hartman commended the stand
taken by President Roosevelt in a re-
cent message to congress when he adj
vocated reciprocity" agreemen: be-
tween the government and railroads.
1T was a very bold and courageous
stand for the president to take" said
the railroad magnate, "and the only
thing for the administration to do is
to give us law that will legalize our
combines"

new PARLIAMENT OPENED
First Session of Russian Douma
Brings Demonstrations.
Opposition to the Government Strong
and Rumors of Dissolution Are
Already Heard.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-The douma
or lower house of parliament, was
formally opened at noon Tuesday. In
the Tauride palace in the presence
of all the minister and many high
functionaries. No member of the i'm
perial family was present.
The first ceremony was religious
service, in which the metropolitan of
st. Petersburg, Antonius, the higher
clergy of the diocese and a full choir
participated.
NJ. Goluboff. vice president of the
council of the empire, accompanied
by Baron Uexkull De Gyldenbandt,
secretary of the empire, entered the
hall after the service. The former
imediately called the lower house to
order, and in a colorless speech, in
vited the members to sign the oath
of allegiance to Emperor Nicholas
The conservatives cheered the men
ton of the name of the emperor, but
the opposition members remained
silent. The social democrats did not
enter the hall until Mr.. Goluboff had
finished speaking when they came in
in body, demonstratively.
After signing the oath the balloting
for president of the lower house be-
gan. There was no serious disorder,
but the crowds outside the palace
were unruly and several times had
to be driven back by the infantry and
mounted gendarmes.
Several consultations have been held
recently by the leaders of the opposi-
ton in the douma to see whether
some sort of compromise with the
government was possible, but after
full consideration it was announced
by Prof. Milkoff that nc arrangement
could be made so long as NJ. Stolypin
remained at the head of the cabinet.
The opposition demand the premier's
resignation and do not expect to do
any constructive work until it is re-
ceived. This attitude leads to the
belief that the second douma will fol-
low the steps of the first, the parallel

Quiet Sarcasm.

George Vaux. Jr., of Philadelphia.
has been appointed a member of the
board of Indian commissioners. Mr.

Indian story.
There was certain commission

with rude scorn. One day a chief en-

ing him over the tobacco many quaint
legends.
One legend concerned a plague of
grasshoppers. The chief told elo-
quently how grasshoppers overran
the land, eating the grain. and how
the medicine men averted i&mine
by offering silver grasshopper to
the Great Spirit. whereupon all that
deluge of grasshoppers disappeared.
But the commissioner scoffed at
the tale.

Hasten slowly.
KANSAS.


1t is not well to be too eager to &C
quire wealth. especially when it en-
tails long hours of work and constant
anxiety. The other day a rich mer-
chant of Illinois, travelling in England,
wrote home to his son, who is carrying
on the business: Il am a middle
aged man." he said. land I am just
learning that it is wisest to hasten
slowly" In the anxiety to grow rich,
he had made too much haste, and had
suffered seriously in health and in
the reasonable enjoyment of life. He
had worked all day and all night when
occasion appeared to demand it; he
had taken no count of days of rest, or
any other time. 1t was work and
scheme, scheme and work, all the
time. He had at last awakened in
his old age to the fact that he has
made great mistake. No one depre-
Gates work, steady and persevering;
for the young man that is, in many
instances. essential to any kind of
to the anxiety to become rich is an
other matter. That is just what many
a husband and father is now doing.
1t is the wife's duty, says New York
Weekly, to check this; she should
take care that he does not become so
consumed by the notion that he must
constantly improve his condition by
unceasing labor, day after day, and
thus let his life slip away and his
health go with it The anxiety to get
wealth does not always end in con-
slant work; it often entails growing
carelessness for the difference be-
tween right and wrong and the well
fare of others. Very frequently
woman forces her husband along this
dangerous path instead of keeping him
in check. She sees money coming in,
and she spends it, not troubling about
how he works to get it or in which
way he obtains the coveted wealth.
