The victim was put through a ‘“‘course of sprouts,” which was a source of grest amusement for the spectators. The whole thing was a sell, and of course each vielim was anxious to see others initiated. In this way the membership of this nonsensical club, which was soon to be transformed into an organization of persecution and terror- ism, was rapidly increased. Eventually when it was discovered that the ghostly appearance of the Ku Kluxers inspired terror among the negroes, who were at that time objects of hatred to the whites, the idea naturally suggested itsolf that the power thus acquired could be utilized in the punishment of crimes and offenses, particularly those committed by the negroes. Thus sprang into existence the organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, whose infamous deeds of outrage have become matters of his- tory. The Klan soon included the field of politics tn its operations, and no crime was too heinous for it to commit in order to accomplish its object, whether political or for plunder, It is claimed that desperate men took advantage of the axistence of the order to assume its name, disguizes, and methods, for the sake [of plunder and revenge, and that in this way many crimes were charged up to the Ku-Klux that they were really innocent of, The author of the Cenfury paper attempts to apologize for the existence and acts of O~ Sunday last, while a game of base [ate was a ministerial officer charged with ball was in progress at Central Oity, inspecting the returns, lnr! the tw'o Colorado, one of the players was killed | houses jointly were to determine by their by lightning, and two others probably | vote which of the disputed returns, If fatally injured.

THERE are a number of circuses that are not satisfied with making money le- gitimately, but resort to various tricks to rob the people wherever they go. One of the moat popular methods of circus robbery is in the changing of money, which is done by certain employes in such a way as to defraud their patrons. The victim hands up a five-dollar bill for acirous ticket, and the ticket-seller hands back fifty cents in change, and swears that he only received a dollar bill. ‘Lhe victim protests against this robbery, and in nine cases out of ten he fails to get his money back. The candy but- chers, the lemonade peddlers, and the side - show men play the same trick with equal success. One of these circuses, that of W. W. Cole, has come to grief in Montana, The Cole circus gang operated a little too boldly at Butte, and the result was that Cole him- self and eleven of his men were arrested. They had succeeded in robbingthe people out of over $500. Cole has rofunded all the money claimed to have been stolen, but the men have been held upon a crim- inal complaint. In the language of the Butte Znter-Mountain “it won’t do for Mr. Oole’s men to put Montanans up for suckers and ‘yip yaps,”” whatever they may be. The people of Montanaarejustly incensed at the whole outfit, and propose to teach these circus thieves a lesson that they will not be likely to forget very soon. If other communities would follow the example of Butte there would soon bean end to circus robberi T charge has been made that there was an asphalt ring in Omaha, which has influenced the board of public sorks, the city engineer and the city council. The party that made this charge has lately changed front, and sounded the alarm by declaring that there was a granite ring, organized to defraud the tax-payers and impose upon the public. If the late grand jury had investigated these grave charges it would have made the discovery that the whole thing was a most audacious attempt to levy blackmail upon all the pavingcontractors. Therecklessnossof the blackmailer was much greater than his discretion, He made not only a verbal but a written demand upon the owners of the Sioux Falls quarries for five hundred dollars to compensate him for the war he was makiog on the asphalt company, and when no response was made to his de- mand by mail he used the telegraph. Having failed to draw blood monoy he turned round and charged that the granite folks had formed a ring in conjunction with cortain councilmen, the board of public works and the contractors for asphalt paving. While Tk BEe does not pretend that the contractors on pub- lio works are too good or too honest to enter into combinations that would result to their own advantage, the high-hapded attempt to blackmail them merita,'the most severd ‘punishment.

Hence he can deduce the conclusion that his presidency is a more important one than that held by his grandfather and great granafather, The Union Pacifio aystem controls the transportation of ut as mavy people as lived in the United States when John Adams was chief executive, President Adams, of th Union Pacific, has more er than the president of the United States.

The visitors were invited by Mr. Gould from the reception room, whose walls were coverad with pictures from French and other painters, to the drawing-room, whero attention was called to others by Carbanel Messonier and the moderns whom it is sometimes fashionable, but never sensible, in the old countries to gnore, out of either real or affected homage to the old matter: L. M Waa it the brown.stone front on Fifth avenue and the gilded drawing-room of a parvenu that drew these art con- noisseurs all the way from Omaha, or was it purely a social call on a philan- thropist whose qualities of head and heart had made him the lofty ideal of these eminent Nebraskans?

Unfor tunately self-interest is not always a se- curity against folly, 1f a man’s present greed outweighs all considerations of sa- gacity and provision for the future, he will prove a snare and a delusion. The accession of Mr. Adams to the presidency is & tomporary expedient. The fact that he was himself a victim of the Gould- Dillon policy does not restore public confidence, Mr. Adams, after one mis- take of this magnitude, however, is not likely to trifle. It is reported that he has invited General Manager Callaway of the Grand Trunk to accompany him in a tour over the road, starting next week, and that Callaway may succeed Clarke as genoral manager. By some Hugh F. Riddle, late president of the Rock Island, of resigning, be wanted to abdicate and name his successor. The Union Pacific Retribution, Springfield Republican, The Union Pacific railroad corporation has at length been compelled to confess judgment on two vital points of its policy. From the moment the Gould-Dillon man agement began to pay dividends on $60,000,000 of stock 'representing no paid in capital, this great corporation has proceeded in defiance of the govern- ment on the one hand and of natural competition on the other. It greeted the Thurman act of congress with a hostile policy of “lawing it” to the last ditch, and it went on coolly distributing to stockholders the earnings which ahould have gone either to pay debt, to perfect the equipment, or to forestall competition by reduction of rates and a conciliatory attitude toward patrons. In the face of the wonderful fertility cf Awerica in railroad development and in the face of the education of rates over long lines by competition, which may be said to be the law of American railroad enter- prise, both the old corporations con- stituting the first transcontinental line assumed not only that they could continue to pay large rates of interest on all their cost, but considerable dividends on §120,000,000 of purely fictitious capi- tal beside, They confidently expected to be able to reap sonibthing from noth- ing, in the face of inevitable competition. As to the Thurman act, President Dillon persisted in reparding this attempt of the government to collect its debt as some- thing easily evaded and temporized with, and was always talking about the proba- bility of a reduction of the requirement of payment to b per cent. instead of 25 per cent. of the earnings, or anticipating the crossing off the entire debt bya grate- ful country. Neither did the theoretical astuteness of O, F. Adams, Jr., nor the practical business sagaclty of the Ames interest enable the New Kugland repre- sentatives in the direction to correct the optimism, greed and blindness of Dillon. It was clear that here were two great demands which the road must meet, be- side those demands for replacement of material and for enlargement of facilities to which all roads are constantly subject, —namely, the demand of the gevernment and the demand from competition, and now it finds itself face to face with both of them at once. Whatever the result of any particular lawsuit, it was clear that on o subject on which popular jealousy was likely to be 8o keen, congress would be likely to insist on complete liguidation sooner or later. The government debt at ent standing against the ro ,012 principal, and $15,701,339 inter- est,after deducting the $10,000,000 earn- ed by the road in transportation service, Counting the advances to the Central branch and the Kansas Pacific, both in- cluded now in the Union Pacific, the debtdue to gouernment isabout §56,000,- 000, The Central Pacific, which has begun to make cash payments into the Unmited States treasury, owes about $43,000,000. The refusal of the Union Pazific to pay instalments under the Thurman act has gone so far as to render directors person - able liable and proceedings against them were only saved by paying over to the government the pot of 718,000, which would otherwise been divided this week among stockholders, The defiance of competition has been reckless. Reduc- tions - of freights and rares have been stupidly withhéld until forced by the nec- esity of dlividing a business with a 1ival road and then ‘of course have sometimes been made with double and tripple loss, ~—lose.dn volume of traflic, in rate ot charges, ' and in increased expenditure |! for facilitios. The whole experience shows the prac- tical folly of the short sighted policy of running a corporation ‘‘to make money,"” a8 the short-sighted policy is usually termed. The management of great cor- porations requires !or::i;ht. and courage to deny the present good for the sake of the future, Men are not generally blind a8 to what is before them, but they are often unwilling to act upon what they see, It is not blindness but present greed that is the secret of these great collapses. The Gould-Dillon management of the Union Pacfic has for years robbed the corporation's future. It paid 7 per cent dividends, when prudent, honest and frank facing of the present obligations and future certainties of competition would not warrant them. But the public saw the stock paying 7 per cent and it went up to 120, ;nvuloll bought it at prices all the way from 120 back to 80, as a suro sdurce of income, and innocent hold- ers by the thousand find their income suspended and only a dim contingency in the future, [ Mr. Dillon, the late president, is a railroad *‘magnate” of the sand-digging era, 8 good man to take & contract, and managing & travs-continental line upon a polioy fitted to more than ten years.

There 18 & very lively row in progress at Minneapolis and St. Paul, growing out of certain complications which were de- veloped by the recent musical festival under Thomas' direction. One element of the chorus consisted of a musical soci- ety of St. Paul, led by Sig. same Who for some years w: teacher of singing at Oincionas is & man who, in his own opinion, might properly be president of the United States or king of Hawaii. His society made it a condition of their joining the festival that ‘‘Messiah” should be given, and that he should conduct it. The point was conceded and Thomas agreed. It was expected to have had a full rehearsal, but an unforeseen detention prevented the musiciens from reaching Minneapolis from Kansas City until 4 p. m., when, as the hall was two miles cut of town and all the instruments and music had to be carted over, a rehearsal was impossible. At the time of the concert Janotta *‘was produc- ing himsel,” and the way in which he conducted the ‘‘Messiah” overture was calculated to show that he was nobody's fool. The orchestra did whatever he re- quired, however unexpected it might be to them, When Toedt stood up to sing “‘Comfort Ye,” he was horrified to hear the prelude begin mora than twice as fast as it ought, Ho attempted to hold back, but Janotta would nou be retarded. He whipped up the orchestra, and when poor Toedt begzed him to take it slower, the irate conductor hissed back, sotto voce, the direction for Toedt to go to a place where the ‘‘Messsah” is neyer given. When it came Miss Winant's turn, she tried to stem the tide, but in vain. Janot- ta proposed to show the tempos at which the “‘Messiah” ought to go. When Nils- | PILEPSY!

By the time she was through poor Janotta was beside himself and forgot to bring in the chorus, “*Glory to God” but Nilsson turned to the chorus and started them in. At the intermiss- ion there was a lively time in the ante- room. Janotta declarcd that he had never led so poor an orchestra. He suid that if ho could have them a week he could start them upon a more artistic direction. The accident which kept the train back he declared to be a wicked de- vice of Thowas, and the bolt of light ning which struck the hall during one of the concerts he thought a heavenly mes- senger aimed at Thomas but misdirected. By the end of the week the music began to accellerate. Tho newspapers are pouring in oil and wine in the shape of interviews with Toedt, Remmertz, Nils- son, Tomlins and members of the orches- tra, by the end of which Mr. Janotta is likely to consider himself a still more ill- used man than he had at first thought.
