GOV. LA COLLETTE'S AMBITIOV. Having won his fight against the Spooner faction. Gov. LaFollette of Wisconsin Is preparing for his fight against the railroads of his state. He is determined they shall pay a larger share of the taxes and shall 1' make rates that are equal and fain for all shippers. He announces that a* soon as he has settled with the railroads of Wisconsin, he will be a candidate for the United States Senate, where he hopes to be an important factor in the fight, which, he says, is coming be tween the peoole and the railroads. It is his opinion that the government must fix the rates of the railroads, on interstate commerce or own the roads. In an interview at Toledo on Monday last he said: "The political* issue in this country for the next ten or fifteen years will be between gov ernment for special interests and gov ernment for the people." In other words, he believes the issue is pluto cracy or Democracy. Gov. LaFollette has shown himself to be a man of great force of char acter, and there is no doubt that he is very ambitious. It is probable that he thinks there is a chance for a man of his characteristics and his views, on public questions to reach the presi dency in the near future, ’ And it wouldn’t be surprising if he were right. There is undoubtedly a. growing feeling against the trusts. The evident purpose of those institu tions to grab everything within their reach, regardless of the .rights of the people, is gradually creating' a deep seated hostility to them. But Gov. LaFollette is making a mistake in thinking the feeling of the people is directed wholly against the railroads. The feeling against them isn’t so great as it is against the tariff, because if it were not for the shelter which the tariff gives to some of the most in iquitious of the trusts the objectionable features of these trusts couldn’t exist. There is no good reason why the steel trust, for Instance, should be permitted to charge so much more for steel rails and other steel products than is charged for these articles In England. The feeling against the railroads is not due so much to high rates as it is to unequal rates. Asa mat ter, of fact, the rates in this coun try are not as high as railroad rates in Europe. It is the discrimination it: favor of the big shippers and fav ored localities that causes the trouble. Gov. LaFollette is also mistaken In thinking that the time is com ing soon when the government will own the railroads. The people have too much good sense to want govern ment ownership of them. Under the government they wouldn't be run as satisfactorily as they are now, and they would be a source of danger to the republic. A forceful and unscrupulous President could re-elect himself as many times as he pleased, if he had the railroads at his back as well as the officeholders. There would be scarce ly a limit to the campaign fund he could raise and the votes he could control with the patronage at his com mand. ' - .• * - The government may control the rail roads In so far as to regulate their interstate commerce rates, but the day Is far distant when it will own them. If Gov. LaFollette is aiming to become a political power by championing gov ernment ownership of railroads, he is doomed to disappointment. SICXB OK CEXTHtLIZATIOK. The life Insurance companies say they do not object at all to the proposi tion that the government shall have supervision of their affairs. Indeed they rather court such supervision, be cause they think that eventually it will relieve them from compliance with state laws. At present the laws of the states In reference to life Insur ance companies differ greatly, and the companies find It difficult and annoy ing to comply strictly with them. It would suit them to be placed directly under national law’s and to be relieved from compliance with the laws of the states in which they do business. And it is probable that all corpora tions which do an interstate business would prefer to be required to comply with only one set of laws, and those the national laws. They would prefer this for only one reason, namely, that It would relieve them from the annoy ances and expense of complying with so many different sets of laws admin istered and enforced by officials hav ing so many points of view. And it is found practically lmppssi •ble to remedy the divorce evil by leg islation because of the difficulty. of getting the states to agree to it uni form divorce law. Therefore, it ia probable that there wouldn’t be very strong opposition to an effort to give the national government authority to deal with the divorce question. All the time there is some question coming up which could be handled to better advantage by Congress than by the Legislatures of the states, at least It seems to be admitted It could.

Is the Russian officer quoted In our St. Petersburg dispatches yesterday right in his statement that the Japa nese have reached their high water mark, and that they will not be able to achieve any additional success at Mukden, even though Port Arthur should fall and they should receive re inforcements from there to the extent of 50,000 men? It seems in Russia the belief prevails tttat the fall of Port Arthur will not be of any great as sistance to the Japanese. The posses sion of that port will not enable them to make greater headway in the effort to drive the Russians out of Man churia. The Russians are of the opinion that the Japanese have missed the psycho logical moment. By that they mean the Japanese should have concentrated all their forces in the effort to drive the Russians out of Manchuria when Kuropatkin had but a small army to oppose them. It would have been much e'asier to prevent the Russians from regaining a foothold in the province, eVen after they had been reinforced, than it will be to drive them out now that they have been reinforced. With the Russians out of Manchuria the Japanese could have t'aken Port Arthur at their leisure. Now Kuro patkin has about 500,000 men at Muk den, and Japan has called out nearly all of her reserves, so it is said, and is practically unable to greatly increase her armies in the field. On the other hand, Russia can continue to pour troops into Manchuria by the thou sands. If this is the true situation there may be something in the statement of the Russian officer quoted In our dis patches. But there may be another side of the story. Port Arthur rrtay be neces sary to Japan to get supplies to her army when all of the streams become frozen. When the other available ports are closed by ice she may be able to keep open that port. And then it is not certain that she Has practically exhausted her resources ;in putting her present army in the ! field. No doubt she viewed the situa tion from all points of view, and chose the course she followed, knowing all about the advantages which is now .pointed out by the Russian officer. The army she has at Mukden is a re markable one, and If handled rightly may prove to be more than a match for the army which confronts it, though greatly outnumbered. MRS. CHADWICK’S PROMISED REV ELATIONS. Mrs. Cassle L. Chadwick, although in jail with seven pr more indictments against her, is still hopeful, judging from what she says, namely, that she will “come out all right.” In a state ment made to the reporters she said that she didn't think she had done any wrong. She must have rather queer ideas of right and wrong. There are reasons for thinking she has had such ideas for a good many years. SJie insists that she has a tale to unfold that will change public senti ment in regard to her, but says she wilt hot tell it until she has paid all of her creditors. That means that she will not tell It at all. It is doubtful If she has any story that will show her in a light different from that which the story of her financial transactions Places her. It Is probable that she would be put on trial at once if it were not for the fact that Mr. Car negie, who is wanted as a witness, says he is unable, on account of his health, to go to Cleveland just now. It may be that it will be found possi ble to get along without him as a wit ness. Still the drama would not be com plete without him. He was dragged Into it without his knowledge, and no doubt would like to avoid making a public appearance in it. But what about Mrs. Chadwick's husband, Dr. Leroy Chadwick? He is in Paris with his daughter. In an in terview he said he knew nothing about his wife's financial transactions. Mr. Beckwith, the president of the wrecked Oberlin bank, tells a different story. He says that Mr. Chadwick knew about the Carnegie notes and about his wife’s financial affairs. In part payment of the money loaned upon the notes the doctor, Mr. Beckwith says, gave him checks for a large sum of money, and promised to give him more. The checks were of no account, how ever. This would seem to indicate that he knew his wife was getting money in large amounts on questionable se curity. ■ And it has been published that he also gave the Massachusetts bank er, Newton, checks for part of the amount due that financier, checks which were returned because there was no money with which to pay them. If Mrs. Chadwick has any other story than that which has been told it Is time for her to make it public. She is in need of all the assistance and sympathy now that she can get. If it is true that the Russian war ship Sevastopol has been successfully torpedoed by the Japanese at Port Arthur, and there seems’to be no good reason for doubting the correctness of thc'report. then the Port Arthur fleet of the Russians has been wiped out. There may remain a‘ few torpedo boats end destroyers, but their number is so small and they are so impotent that they need not be taken into consid eration as units of offense or defense. With the elimination of the Port Ar thur fleet, Admiral Togo is at liberty to take such steps as he may deem ex pedient to deal with the oncoming Bal tic fleet. Meanwhile, there is a Arm conviction in the minds of many ex perts that the Baltic fleet will never reach Far Eastern waters: that It will be turned back before It has leached the zone of danger. A Chicago paper publishes s picture of Mrs. Chadwick's left hand and wrist, showing that she habitually wore ten rings containing in non* I th*fit roih* Iwmiy-flv# In ti'SdMion 1 o I wis tug#•>!*'(m of diamond* I and leads.

MwyU M w* ttu Hdtltlni j of Mm *• ** in* it.+i 4w*M n*4 liffnw The heart-to-heart talks that some of the high-financiers are having w’ith each other, through the medium of the advertising columns of the news papers, are highly amusing, to those who are not interested In stocks. Such choice epithets as “liar,” “fakir,’’ “widow-wrecker,” “robber,” charla tan,” and the like have abounded in the paid advertising space of the con tending parties. There was even a suggestion of a personal encounter between Col. Lawson and Col. Greene, with possibly pistols and coffee on the side. But it did not eventuate. Col. Greene said to Col. Lawson that he knew all about him, and that he was a thoroughly bad man. Col. Lawson replied that Col. Greene was a man of excellent Judgment, since he had put his properties into Col. Lawson's hands for management, telling him he was the only financier he knew who could be trusted; nevertheless, that Col. Greene had woefully and wilfully prevaricated when he had asserted that Col. Lawson’s recent raid on Wall street was not unselfish and wholly for the good of the dear “peepul.” And thus it goes along. The high finan ciers have gdt their knives out for each other; and in the meantime if the lambs have the least bit of wit left they will keep out of harm's way. The fire department of Janesville, Wiq., was recently in need of one small rubber plug, which it ordered from a hardware store. The plugs are worth 9 cents a dozen. The hardware firm sent in a bill for % cent. The chief of the Are department declined to “O. K.” the bill, and the city treas urer refused to pay It. The hardware firm has now brought suit against the city for the amount of the bill. The firm declares that there is a “princi ple” Involved in the matter ,and that it is willing to spend hundred of dol lars to have that “principle" vindi cated. There are many lawsuits that are equally stupid and foolish. “God save young men from ‘stylish’ women,” is the fervent prayer of Vicar General Fox, of Trenton, N. J. Doesn’t it seem as if mature financiers and sedate bankers were quite as much in need of the pious solicitude of the good Father Fox as the young men? We do not recall any young man in connection with the Chadwick case. PERSONAL. —Ex-Queen Liliuokalani and Con gressional Delegate Kalauiauoale of Hawaii have arrived in the United States. The former queen is s.tjll hope ful of securing an appropriation from Congress to reimburse her for the loss of former crowh lands. —Many of the congressional families find it hard to enter the social life be cause of the lack of what i considered a proper place to receive calls. A group of ladies from one Western state have surmounted this obstacle very cleverly for the last several win ters by combining and engaging the parlors of a large apartment hotel in which several of them reside. The ar rangement proved a most pleasant and desirable one. —The Wiscottpin Legislature that convenes next January will have among its members ten men who hold degrees from the University of Wis consin. Graduates of the university, while not preponderating in member ship in the Legislature, will have con siderable Influence in formulating laws. Of the ten members the Sen ate has five and the assembly the same number. This means that 5 per cent, of the Senate and 5 per cent, of the assembly are graduates of the Uni versity of Wisconsin.

He was doubly safe.—Chicago Tribune. CURRENT COMMENT. The Philadelphia Record *(Dem.) says: “It is t 9 be noted that yester day's renewed and heavy slump in the slock market followed the presidential •announcement that the auesrion of tariff revision had been dropped for the time being. We may thus leafn that assurances ‘to let the blessed tar iff alone constitute no protection to prosperity quotations. If the slump had followed an announcement that an extra session would be called to revise the schedule, how emphatically would the stand-patters have pro claimed It as an unmistakable'effect.” The Pittsburg Post (Dem.) says: "Mr. Roosevelt's plurality over Par ker whs 2.549.16 U. or almost exaotlv one-half of the JOtol vote cast for the Democratic candidate. The vote given to the Republican candidate wuh the largest ever given to any candidate for President. His majority over all was 1,746.901 so that even taking into con sideration the voters who did not ex ercise the right to cast their ballot last month it would seem as though Mr. Roosevelt had the light to claim that he was the choice- of a large majority of all the voters of the country. With such a commission behind him he cer tainly ought to have every Incentive to keep his pledge to be the President of the whole country, 'and not of any party or faction.” The Louisville Courier Journel iDem.) says: "Thete is wave of condemnation for the Chadwick wom en, upon whom the strong hand of the law has been plu< ed for acts wlilt h are no worse then those committed fonatsntiy by men who swindle Inves tors out of their money by false rep resentations, and yet so free to pose a successful financiers Foigery Is, aft er all, only one form of nits-repre sentstlon differing in moral crime from the floating of bogus corporations and selling of worthless etoi Ira In the pun. islimsnt afflsed to tbe former If sit lit# su-ai*ed magnates who roll |n wraith by pi set bee as fraudulent as lbior for whicb Mis ClisdwUb is now they deserve t ton r at mi Id not be prison • otnnrrdatpn, euffbnnl fa* them Nothing Too Good for John. “John,” said Mrs. Atwood, thought fully, “everybody In society appears to think an awful lot of genealogy these days.” “Jennie what?” exclaimed John, look ing up from his evening paper, says an exchange. , "Genealogy,” repeated Mrs. Atwood.; “What’s that?” “I don’t exactly know,” replied Mrs. Atwood, “but I think it’s a tree of some kind. At least, I heard some ladies refer to it as a family” tree.” "Well, what of it?” he asked. “Why, it seems to be a sort of fad, you know, and everyone who is any-' one has to have one, I suppose.” . "Buy one, then,” he said, irritably. “Buy the best one in town and have the bill sent to me, but don't bother me with the details of the affair. Get one, and stick it up in the conserva tory, if you want one, and if it isn’t too large.” "But I don’t know anything about them." “Find out, and if it’s too large for the conservatory, stick it up on the lawn, and if that ain’t big enough I’ll buy the next plot in order to make room. Then <;an’t any of them fly any higher than we can. and, if it comes to a question of trees I’ll buy a whole orchard for you.” Still she hesitated. !} “The fact is, John,” she confessed at last, "I don’t just know where to go for anything in that line. Where dd they keep the family trees and all, such things?” , “What do you suppose I know about it?” he exclaimed. “You’re running the fashion end of this establishment, and I don’t want to be bothered with it. If the florist can’t tell you any thing about it, hunt up a first-class nurseryman and place your order with ;hlm.” ‘■ -■ . .* The Siamese Twins—Were They l Brothers f The late P. T. Barnum was a keen student of human nature as well as a natural humorist and nothing which set forth human traits that were odd or amusing escaped his attention, says Success. He was very fond of telling stories of incidents that brought out features in human character —one of which, that delighted him immensely, was connected with the Siamese twins. When he was exhibiting those orien tal freaks the press of the country made them widely known and they became very soon one of his best drawing cards. One day there came to see them a back country rustic, who was per fectly absorbed in them and inquisitive enough In regard to them to require almost a bureau of information to answer his Innumerable questions. Mr. Barnum happened to be the one questioned and he was asked their age, occupation, original home, wheth er they were single or married, their weight and stature and their religious belief. Nothing at any rate, was too trivial or irrelevant, which the rustic thought of, all of which interested the showman intensely. Finally the bucolic visitor started slowjy, but reluctantly, to leave, but after walking away a few steps he re turned and Said with the' most solemn : simplicity: “They are brothers, I presume.” The Log-leal Inference. Mr. Kidder looked up from the even ing paper upon which he had been In tent, says the Smart Set. “I see, my dear,” he said sorrowful ly, "that Christmas ts again cOming.” "What else canyydu expect this time of year?” queried .Mrs. Kidder, un shocked by the news. “Still,” said Mr.'Kidder, argumenta tively, "It is a distressing and harrow ing fact which no reputable newspa-. per should thrust upon a man’s, es pecially a family man's, attention. I think I Shall have to change my pa per. I can’t stand for such ‘yellow ness.’ ” “Why, does the paper announce it?” asked Mrs. Kidder, with some sur prise. “Well, not in so many words,” re plied Mr. Kidder, carefully ahering to the exact facts; “but it is the deduc tion from what it does say which no logical mind can resist, especially that of the husband of a wife.” “Why, what does it say?” asked Mrs. Kidder, stopping her darning in her curiosity. “It says,” replied Mr. Kidder, sol emnly consulting the article to make sure he was correct, “that two women were Injured and several fainted in the crush at Seller & Doomore’s neck lace sale this morning.” His Order for Eggs. There is a certain lawyer of the town who devotes all his leisure time to the perpetration of elaborate and solemn jokes, says the Washington Post. Nobody on earth is too august for him to tackle. He wfts in London last summer, and one morning he went Into a restaurant with his most dig nified air, and proceeded to order breakfast. "I want two eggs,” said he to' the waiter. “I want one fried on one side and the other fried on' the other.',’ The waiter nodded and ’Withdrew. A little later he returned. "Beg pardon, sir,” said he, "but I am afraid I didn’t quite catch your order. Would you mind repeating it?" “Not at all,” said the American, sol emnly. “I want two eggs, one of them fried on one side and the other on the other.” “Thank you, sir,” said the waiter. “I thought that was what you said, but I wasn’t quite sure, sir.” Five minutes later an apolegetjc waiter returned to the American’s el bow. "I beg pardon, sir,” said he again, "but the cook and I have had some words. Would you mind having those eggs scrambled?” Cleveland's Twins. Grover Cleveland caught many a fine bass In Lake Erie at the mouth of Cattaraugus creek before he became Governor of New York, says the New York Press. One day, while doing some bottom fishing, he lost his.only lead sinker. “Shun" Bissell's boat was a mile away, and you know how much a musy fisherman hates to move, and how slowly he comes to your re lief. While waiting for his partner Cleveland had a happy thought. His flask! Why not use It as a sinker? No sooner thought than done, and down went the line again to the bottom. Just as Bisscll got close by Grover pulled in two fine bass, one on each hook. “Hey, Grove, that's tt lusty pair of twins you've got this time," he ex claimed, "Yes," retorted Cleveland, "and brought up on the bottle, {oo."

Bell believes that he resembles Napoleon In more ways than one and has said so over his signature. To day Willard P. Hatch, who was en gaged to write a biography of the general, but w r ho disagreed with him over the financial end of the deal, made public a portion of the biography, which is really autobiography, ac cording to Mr. Hatch, who says the General wrote it himself. Excerpts from Gen. Bell’s opinion of himself are given literally; "He (Bell) is conceded to be the most thorough military officer in disci pline and efficiency In the United States and has the traits and tactics, Us well as the fac-simile appearance of Napoleon In his youth. The Colo rado brigadier general, ranking with all the war generals of the past and present centuries, in the person of Gen. Sherman M, Bell—his major general ship will stand as a monument to Colo rado, no doubt in the whole United States, if not in the entire world, to the memory of the man who was named after the irfan who ’marched to the sea'—Gen. William Tecumseh Sher man.” There is much more in the same vein, and' Mr. Hatch offers the General’s copy In evidence. The two men have been denouncing each other for several weeks and might have fought a duel Had they agreed on weapons. Hatch insisted on the privilege of the chal lenged person and chose swords, but Gen. Bell refused to fight with cold steel. HOW SOUTHEY WORKED. From the Cornhill Magazine. Southey was a methodical and rapid literary craftsman. “I am a quiet, pa- I tient, easy going of the mule breed; regular as clockwork in my pace, surefooted, bearing the burden which is laid on me, and only obstinate in choosing my own path,” he wrote to a friend. But his method was by no means simple. He was a poet, a historian, a critic and a miscellaneous writer; he turned out an enormous quantity of matter and succeeded in doing so by working fourteen hours a day and diversifying his labors within his daily round. He had six tables In his library. He wrote poetry at one, history at another, crit icisms at a third and so on with the other subjects upon which he was en gaged, and when he was tired of spin n|ng his brains into verse he turned to history and criticism. There is a story that he once de scribed to Mine, de Stael the division of his time—two hours before break fast for history, two hours for reading after, two hours for the composition of poetry, two hours for criticism and so on through all his working day. “And pray, Mr. Southey,” queried the French woman, somewhat unkindly, "when do you think?” COLt'MBUS’ LOG DOES NOT EXIST. From the New York World. Paris, Dec. 10. —“Quote me most em phatically as saying that neither the Duke d’Albe nor any one else possesses the original log of Columbus’s voyage, for the simple reason that it doesn’t exist, having been destroyed in Co lUmbuS’s lifetime because it contained entries the Columbus family wanted suppressed,” said Henri Vignaul, doyen 'of the American Diplomatic Corps in Europe, arid greatest living authority on Columbus matters. “The Duchesse u’Albe, the present Duke's mother, a scholarly woman, gathered all the pap ers and archives of the family and published them in several volumes, most of the contents of which have beea ividely quoted- One contained ex !tracts .purporting; to have been taken from the log In question, but they were largely surmise. I believe the Duohesse exhausted the archives thor joughly, little of value remaining. The Duke is absent from Paris at the mo ment* but the Spanish Embassy prom ises to notify me of his return, when It is possible I may learn the extent of the papere remaining, if any. But there is no possibility of the existence of the much-talked-of log .which I am erroneously said to be trying to per suade the United States to buy.” HOW TO GO TO SLEEP. From the Chfcago News. Sir William Laird Clowes advocates a novel remedy for refractory cases of insomnia. "I have recommended such people, after h'avtng ascertained what is likely to be the most comfortable position for sleep,” he says, "to affix a small bright light two or three feet above the head, so that in order to see it without moving the head the eyes must be rotated upward. “For this purpose an ordinary electric glow Tamp, covered with opaque black paper, in which is cut a hole the size of a pin’s head. Is very suitable, pro vided, of course, that the hole be ar ranged so that It is in or near the imaginary line joining the glowing fila ment and the position which the eyes will occupy. The brighter 'and smaller the point of light the better. Let the upward-rotated eyes bo directed stead fastly at this, a persistent effort be ing employed not necessarily to keep the eyelids open, but to keep the eyes themselves bent upon the required spot.” FROM HIGH ALTITUDES, From the New York Press. A man came here the other day from Mexico City and tried to drink all the whisky in town. The same chap was here three years ago trying to do the same thing. Our wood alcohol seemed to haye no effect on him, which he ac counted fpr in a simple, common sense way. Men from high altitudes who are addicted to liquor can drink vastly more when they descend to lower levels. The average increase of capacity is about one pint per diem per 1,000 feet. Therefore, a. man who drinks a quart a day In Mexico City and manages to attend to business can drink nine and one-half pints In New York without being under fhe influ ence, inasmuch as the capital of our sister republic is 7,500 above sea level and we are at the water’s edga. GEN. NTOESSEL OK SWEDISH DES CENT. From the Echo de Paris. Various stories as to the nationality of Gen. Sloessel have made him out a German, a Jew, a Swiss and a Swede. It appears that in a way Russia is indebted to her ancient enemy, Sweden, for the Valiant defender of Port Ar thur, for Gen. Stoessel’s grandfather was a Swedish army officer. But his father served in the Russian army and was a member of the orthodox church. Gen. Htoessel, who Is now 56 years old, studied at the Pavloff Mili tary Academy In the same class as Kuropatkin, and served through the war with Turkey. Then, as a com mander In Siberia, he won high dis tinction for administrative work. PYGMIES COST Kit AMI IS gn.lUf, From tha New York Times.
