manyjgreat fusion leaders have struck oil in Texas that no further arraign ment will be made in the party plat forms of the oil octopus The list of the oppressors of the common people is thereby quite perceptibly shortened The world moves Lincoln Journal The demand of the steel trust that labor organizations dealing with it shall incorporate and thus become capable of making an enforceable contract is not a new idea It has been suggested in previous discussions of strike remedies Whatever ground of objection there may be to the enactment of a law compelling incorporation of unions engaged in purely private occupations there is reason in public policy why organizations of labor employed by corporations en gaged in public service should be made to put themselves in shape to be amen able to process This on the ground that they have engaged with their em ployers to serve the public and no dif ferences between them should be per mitted to interfere with the discharge of their obligations

be com menced next spring but some prelimi nary grading may be done this year The surveys have all been completed It was Mr Stickneys intention a year ago to build an extension to Omaha but the Illinois Central got ahead of him and as at the time efforts were being made by the Morgan Harriman people to secure control of the Chicago Great Western further action on the proposed extensions was deferred These nego tiations failed to culminate successfully it being said that the price asked by Mr Stickney was considered exorbitant by the New York capitalists Since then Mr Stickney it is said has changed his mind and is now of the opinion that the property if properly rounded out and extended is destined to become one of the most valuable in the west In a recent interview Presi dent Stickney said the Great Western was planning to change the railroad map of southern Minnesota and western Iowa Since its construction the owners of the Great Western have been content with its three main lines between Chi cago and the twin cities and Kansas City and St Paul with two or three feeders Recently the company bought the Winona and St Peter railway a line connecting the Great Western at Mc Iutyre and Winona It is now reported that Mr Stickney has bought the Green Bay and Western railroad a line cross ing Wisconsin from Green Bay to Winona J J Hill is believed to be the principal backer of the Chicago Great Westerns new enterprises and the opinion is gaining ground that an un derstanding exists between President Hill and President Stickney for an ulti mate alliance between the Great North ern and Great Western and that the latter will ultimately be operated as a port of the J J Hill railway system Lincoln Journal It is late in life indeed when girls become disinterested in

quality and lowness of price M ones Life of a Locomotive An English engine built in 1S70 has run 4000000 miles and is still in service The managers of the road to which it belongs are proud of this record In the United States a first class passenger engine makes from 100000 to 110000 miles a year and at the end of twenty years is supposed to be ready for the scrap heap Seemingly Americans are more extravagant than British railway managers but the former do not think they are They believe their policy is the more economical one As soon as a locomotive is put in ser vice in this country it is pushed as hard as is possible in doing profitable work on the assumption that by the time it has been driven to death there will be so many improvements in locomotives that it will be uneconomical to keep the old one in service even if it can be rebuilt Thus when slaves were cheap a Cuban planter would reason that it was more economic to work a slave to death and buy a new one than to exact less labor from a slave and thus have his services for a long time In England an engine is taken great care of It is rested occasionally Its life is prolonged as much as possible Hence it is that an engine can be kept in service for thirty years The men at the head of American railways contend that so old an engine must be an expen sive one because it cannot do the cheap er work a modern engine in capable of The American policy is vindicated by its results Chicago Tribune For dyspepsia constipation etc use Dr Kays Renovator 25c and 1 Dyspepsia constipation liver and kidneys cured by Dr Kays
