Still it will be interesting to learn bow much an order will increase the sale done. decency such there of newspapers published on this side of the line. In New York city the federal authorities have warned the papers that they will prosecute all which publish anything obscene of this trial which is all obscene and the response may be ayreater use of blanks and In that cijy all the papers not only print the testimony almost complete, but each one has from two toa half dozen special writers who dilate upon the various phases of the trial and analyze the demeanor and cts of the principals.

The Railroads Heard a Voice. Railroads are conpdrations, bvldsd- lJess and soulless, ‘but they are quite human for all that in their motives and operation. In the past few days coal has been ‘poured into St. Paul and Minneapolis by the hundreds of | cars. The Dakota towns and settlers were stiil freezing.’ One resident of Bottineau managed to get half a ton of black diamonds by express at a cost of about $60. Express to that country still goes by rail. It might go by team cheaper. For months the good people all over the Northwest have been burning their straw and anything combustible, and the railroads have been unable to get coal to them. They could not get the cars, they said, and what a railroad says must be true. But when Minneapolis and St. Paul found their coal supplies at the low ebb, cars came from somewhere as if by magic. All other freight traffic was stopped. Spring dress goods, summer overcoats, open work hosiery, palm-leaf fang and Oxford shoes were relentlessly held in the warehouses, while something like four hundred cars were assembled from the Lord only knows where and loaded with coal. It had to be or St. Paul and Miune- apolis would bave been reduced to the necessity of burning their bill- boards. Incidentally, the Dakotas yet a few siftings from the rich man’s bin, and this, aided by the warm weather, may mean that the hard- ships of a winter that will always bring the shivers to those who have lived through it. may have passed the climax. But the fhoral of the tale is shown in this sudden activity of the raul- |roads, the possibilities of affording relief that they discoyered, when the right people spoke in the right tone of voice. It is some consolation to find that there is an authority the railroads respect, even if it is not resident in our legistative halls.

Mr. Fullerton is recognized by the commissioner and the new executive agent as oneof the most competent and best posted men in the north- west in the matter of fish culture and its distribution and it is: recogni- tion of this fact that decided the commission in its appointment. People Not Hostile to Railroads. It is possible that railroadipresidents may fool themselves into the belief that they are being persecuted; the people Know better. These men who bave made the transportation systems of the country secondary to the game of frenzied finance, may persuade themselves that they are being abused, but they can deceive no one else. The fact 1s that all that has been asked of them at any time was to obey the law, New legislation has been made necessary almost wholly by their efforts to tind ways of avoid- ing the law and by their success in the effort. As the Minneapolis Jonrnal well says: “There is a cure for all this hostility to railroads and if they will take it, it will be found effective. Let these great corporations disabuse theic minds that they are bigger than the state, that they do not have to obey the laws, that they can use their | power as they please. Let them keep jo mind that they are creatures of a much greater power and let them conduct themselves as it was intend- ed they should when they were created and they will have no trouble,” No one, or but few, would have any serious objection to the making any reasonable profit on their actual cash or value. Most people would be glad to have them all make, say seven per cent, which Mr. Hill says is all they should be permitted to make. They would be satisfled if they added five per cent to this asa sure plus to weather panics, and railroads investment they could put another five per cent intoa sinking fund for depreciation of values and repairs. In exchange all that would be asked would be that this should be based on the actual] value of the roads or upon the cash investment, and that they would observe the law as good citizens, and as private individuals are com- pelted to do. Indeed, the people could well afford to make this bargain and do even better than that, if they could get rid of watered stocks, prevent dis- crimination and rebates and have stock issued to provide for extensions and betterments, sold on the open market. —Duluth News Tribune.
