radical and confiscatory in their demands
They are not, but the railroad companies can

of the country to operate at loss neither do

would be detrimental to the country's best
interest for them to do this. But the people do
insist upon and they entitled to equality 0
treatment and here is where the roads have
aroused the public land rightly so. For years
the people have sat by and seen what the roads
are please to call Commercial centers" built up
and maintained at the expense OF the people in
the rural districts. Southern Minnesota has
for years seen trainloads and carloads of grain
and stock pass through it's cities and villages
from the Twin Cities to Chicago at a rate less
than half of what the dealers in the same COM
modify could reach the same market on the
same train. They have seen the infant indus
tries in the little towns and villages, that many
have contributed to, ruined and destroyed by
and through system of diHerentals in rates
that have compelled the industry in the little
towns of the state to close down or seek the aid
of the bankruptcy courts. The small country
fairs have been put out of business by the ex-
cursion rates. Rates have been so manipulated
that often towns 100 miles nearer Chicago than
the Twin Cities have been able to save one per
cent per hundred pounds grain shipment
to Chicago by billing it to the cities first and
there have it rebilled to it's destination. Trav-
cling men from these so called commercial
centers have been priviledged with two cent
per mile rate while the smaller traveller in the

rurul districts have been compelled to pay
three cents per mile. Bonds were voted and
land grants donated by the people to aid in the
constructions of these roads and they have ex-
pected equality of treatment. They have not
and are not receiving it. The people will not
stop until they get it and all the arguments
this side of the moon will never explain to the
people satisfactorily that a car OF grain or any
other commodity can be transported cheaper
distance of 500 miles than it can be 400 miles
over the same route. The people Will not toler-
ate cent rate from the Twin Cities to Chi

to same destination must pay 10 cents. Ihese
however, are the conditions prevailing now and
have existed for these many days. 1t may be
called radicalism to demand change Of these
conditions, yet it is the species of radical
ism that prompted the words 1--WE hold these

agitation we have no fear of it going to far
The people do not demand want confscation

ANOTHER FLATIRON
 FOR NEW YORK CITY
THIS ONE THOUGH DOES NOT DO QUEER TRICKS WITH THE WIND-HAs OTHER CLAIMS TO DISTINCTION.

New York, August 17.-New York city
 has, in the Seligman building. another
 "Flatiron.' With it's point to the
 north, it stands on one of the busiest
 corners in the busy financial section of the
 metropolis. This new "Flatiron," how
 ever, does not cause the atmospheric ds-
 turbances which play havoc with hats and skirts In front of the other one at
 Broadway and Twenty-third street. High
 buildings on all sides give no space for
 sweep of the wind, and hats stay on
 without the aid of hands.
 Where William street and Beaver street
 meet the first divides into a fork, the
 south prong being called South William street Between the two prongs is the Seligman building. Across William street is the Cotton Exchange and across South
 William Is Delmonico's down town res- taurant. One block to the north is Wall
 street and the old Custom house.
 Safety against fire was one of the chief , objects of the architects of the new
 structure. Absolutely unburnable, both
 outside and inside, it Illustrates well the attempt that Is being made to put lower
 New York. or the "skyscraper' section,
 out of danger. About 7O,000 square feet of the steel columns With these parti- tions that cannot burn and are non-con- ductors of heat, fire that might start in one room could spread no farther. Most of the "skyscrapers'' erected in New York in the last few years are of
 steel and hollow tile, and this new type
 of construction has caused a substantial decrease in insurance rates.
 Foundations of the Seligman building go down nearly 50 feet to solid rock. They were made continuous and form a solid
 masonry wall six feet thick, enclosing the entire lot. This wall forms a sort of dam to resist the heavy outward pressure and exclude all ground water from the cellar excavated within.
 The sub-structure work involved the ex- cavation of 5000 cubic yards of material One hundred men were busy, night and day, on the job. The structural steel in the building weighs about 2.00000o pounds. The exterior walls contain 100000 red brick and 5000 cubic feet of limestone, in addition to the granite near the bottom.

The work in Mississippi Is of great in- terest to the democratic party Of the na- ton at this time. On the eve of pres idential contest their leader In the Ma tional House of Representatives is likely to be changed Senator Moneys health has been bad for some time, and he de- sires to retire as soon as his successor shall be chosen He does not want to wait until the expiration of his term. 1911. When Williams is elected senator he will at once leave the House There has been a hard fight against the leadership of MT
 Villains in the last few years. William J. Bryan Is opposed to him, and so Is William R. Hearst. Indeed. the latter made an open attack upon Williams and selected MT. Griggs of Georgia as the leader but the democrats refused to ac- cede The position of leader of the mi nority in Congress Is one of great fm- portance especially in view of pres'- dential campaign. The man who occupies it is depended upon to create issues for his party, to convict publicly the majority of extravaganza. inefficiency. or worse. MT. Williams has not the entire support of democrats An incipent revolt against him was naugurated last winter. but 1t came to naught, as the result of the re- fusal of Representative Champ Clark of Missouri to enter the field against his Mississippi friend. MT. Williams from an outside point of view seemed to be firmly seated In the minority saddle. Neverthe- less, opposition to him still prevails. and 1t is predicted by democrats that it will grow steadily between now and November 20. when the democratic caucus will be held. Representative De Armond of Mis- souri and Representative James Hay of Virginia are the members who particular ly seem to be seeking Williams scalp.

Making TinfoiI.

From the New York Press.
 Tinfoil, which is extensively used for wrapping tobacco and other articles of commerce, is combination of lead with a thin coating of tin on each side. It is manufactured in the following ways
 First, a tin pipe Is made. This pipe is then filled with molten lead and rolled or beaten to the thinness required. in this process the tin coating spreads sim ultaneously maintains a thin, even coat ing of tin on each side of the sheet of lead, even though 1t may be reduced to a thickness of only one-thousandth of an inch or loss

MISSISSIPPI RACE CLOSELY WATCHED Williams Nomination of Na-
 tionaI Interest COMPARTMENTS AMBITION Announced Long Ago That He Was a Candidate for the Next Senatorial
 Vacancy-Future House
 Leader.
COMPARTMENTS AMBITION

lawn Sharp Williams, as they call him down at his home near Yazoo City, will no doubt be the next United States senator from Mississippi to succeed Her nando De Soto Money whose term will expire in March, 1911.
 The contest In the primaries in the state has excited greater interest in the north than any other political event that has occurred in the south for many days John Sharp Williams has attracted the att tention of the country by his method of leadership of the democratic minority in the national House of Representatives during the recent sessions. He has shown tact and aggressiveness. He commands the respect o1 his antagonists, and the least they could wish was that he would win in the fight for United States sen- ator, and less aggressive man be put in his place House leader. John Sharp Williams did not grow in the cot ton fields, and Is not what the north would call a self-made man. He received good education, with finishing touches at the university at Heidelberg, Germany. He studied law and got an insight into politics with the firm at Memphis of with ex-Senator Hurley was a member. So when he emigrated to the Yazoo City country, where hs mother came from, ne was no greenie. MT. Williams dresses in the easy, unconventional style of many of the southerners in Congress and often times his pantaloons just about meet his shoe-tops. There are six or seven little Williamses, who, with their mother, ire quently appear in the House when their
 Dad" makes a big, powerful kind of a speech. They are true representatives of the country from which they hail. But behind 1t all there are brains and hon esty winch command the respect of coun- try. In his last contest for Congress, in 1906, John Sharp Williams had returned for him 1884 votes, about as many as a small ward would give in Philadelphia. Yet those were all that were cast in the entire Congress district which he rep resents, and 1t covers five counties. The population of those counties in 1900 was 190,SS5. It should be remembered that in Mississippi negroes and republicans do not vote. The former are not permitted to do so, and the latter do not find it of much use In 1900 Mckinley was given 5753 votes in the state; in 1904 Roosevelt W returned as receiving 91S9. In 1900 Bryan was returned as receiving 51, ,706 votes; in 1904 Parker was given 53,376. In the whole state there about many votes returned as for the Second Con gressional district of Philadelphia. Yet Mississippi has eight members of the ma tional house of representatives and two United States senator's

Long ago Governor Vardaman an- nounced that he would be a candidate for the next vacancy in the United States Senate. 1t would have made no differ ence whether Senator Money had desired to succeed himself or not, as Vardaman had his eye on a Senate seat and was de- termined it should be his. He had the machinery of the state at his command. He was brought into contact with the people, and he had every advantage that could come to him in the primaries. The governor is of the demagogue class. and comes of the stock of Bloody Brides Waite of Colorado, and men of that ilk. He is a smooth-shaven, clean-cut sort of a man. with good features, and long flow ing hair that stands out in the breezeS when he Is hard at work at speechmaking. He Is a cross between a patent medicine faker and a side-show orator. His ut terances against the President and his anarchistic ideas of things stamped him as a dangerous man to the northern mind. He appealed to the lowest class of the people of his state, and depended on exciting prejudices in his campaign His followers were what were known as the "red necks." Vardaman promised that if elected to the Senate he would at once move to repeal the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution, and thus deprive the negroes of the right of suffrage. As ne- groes are not allowed to vote In Missis- sippi unless they can read the consti- tution of the United States, and give an interpretation of 1t that Is satisfactory to the election board, the Governors efforts would seem useless Neither Vardaman nor Williams was in "the war between the states" as 1t is termed In the south. They had to explain this Neither was old enough, but their fathers were. So Vardaman traded on that point Williams refused to go into that argument, declar- ing that his father went to war and never came back. He was killed at Shiloh. That was an answer most satisfying. The rep resentatve made his fight on the issues Of the day and the uplifting of his state and its people. Vardaman charged that Will Hams had become stuck-up since he had been in Washington. and that he secretly consorted with the republicans. The man. ner in which Williams answered this was like hive of bees being let loose around Vardaman's head. It was bad break for the Governor.

Flathead indians as Farmers.

MIssOuLA, Nov. Charles Eaton
has returned from the reserva alton,
where he has been running a thrashing
machine for the government for acou-
pie of months. The grain ranches are
mostly within three or four miles OF
the agency and each thrashes on an
average from 1000 to 1900 bushels.
Most OF the land is irrigated, as there
is q large amount of water available
at all seasons, but some of the grain
this year was raised without irriga'
ton in the upland districts.
The government furnishes the
thrashing machines, an engineer and
two feeders, and the farmers furnish
their own crew. The machines are fur
nished by the govrnment free OF
charge for the Indians. Most OF the
grain was sold and shipped as fast as
it was thrashed, a large part of the
yield going TO the various railroad
contractors ia this district.
