We find in the Mclntosh Times an account of the annual meeting of the officers and stockholders of the Farm ers' Elevator company, of Sletten, and we find in it, aside from the interest ing fact of the financial success of this venture of farmers to escape the hun gry maw of the "elevator combine," other matter that confirms an impres sion we have long held suppressed that farmers are just as human as other folk whom sundry editors and ambi tious politicians would have them be lieve are their oppressors and robbers. We note that this company bought 71. --889 bushels of wheat last year, for ■which it paid $42,525.72, an average of 68 cents a bushel, and that it decides to handle binding twine the coming season. Aside from this it netted $97.80 in the purchase and sale of five car loads of feed, and this, with the net of the wheat business, brought their net earnings for the year up to $738.42, which, the Times notes, "is a very neat return on the capital in vested." Further statements lead us to agree with the Times. The earnings of the year show a profit of between 24 and 26 per cent on the 302 shares of capital of the par value of $10 each. But this stock does not represent the actual in vestment, for we are told that there •was a stock dividend of 100 per cent divided among the shareholders dur ing the past year. This would bring the dividends up to 48 to 50 per cent on the capital actually Invested, a rate not exceeded, we believe, by any com pany in the "elevator combine." Now, •we do not note all this for the pur pose of adverse criticism. We are as heartily glad to see the success of this enterprise as are the promoters and beneficiaries of it themselves. We are g-la<l. further, to see this demonstra tion by farmers of ability to unite in a business enterprise demanding busi ness capacity and to hang to it through "these rocky roads of the past," as the Times terms the early experiences; and had they made stock dividends many times 100 per cent we would Eay they deserved it, for they had earn ed it. But the thought that comes to us as v.e rear! this excellent showing is that our Sletten farmer company is congrat ulating itself on having done precisely •what it is the fashion of their especial guardians of the press and stump to denounce with all their lurid eloquence when done by others. We fear tfcat our farmer friends at Slet ten have not departed from the methods pursued by others Who have been accused of "robbing the 1 farmer" by "watering their stock;" that is, by capitalizing their property on the basis of its present or prospec t:.. earning capacity instead of on the ectua.l cash Investment Somewhere ng the statutory lumber of our leg lelation ir, a law prohibiting stock is sues except they represent actual money paid, a law innocuous from its birth, but expressive of a public opinion that such methods were wrong. We are not saying that stock dividends are wrong, but we are unable to see the di viding- line that makes them rightful When made by, say, our elevator com pany at Sletten, and wrongful when mad*, say. by a railroad or manufac turing company. We trust when the Populist orator again roams the prair ies of Polk county to tell farmers how they are robbed by processes which ir.ake stock, dividends and large earn ings possible, he will have the good pen&e to <?c? that it is what the farm ers' elevator company of Slotten baa worthily done, and that the one Is no more wrongful than the other. NOT SO FAST. The people, whose earnestness in ad vocating the use of Minnesota stone for the new capitol building springs out of a deep conviction that the question is one vital to the interests of both state and city, should not allow them selves to go too fast or too far. The Globe has been from the beginning a champion of the cause of Minnesota stone, and has not the slightest doubt that domestic material will be chosen; but it is not proper at this time to re flect unfavorably upon the capitol com mission, which has taken no action whatever, or to talk of applying com pulsory measures in case it should not fall in with the popular will. This is both unjust and injudicious, and prob ably grows out of a sensational and un founded report published in certain newspapers to the effect that the cap itol commission was equally divided between Minnesota sandstone and a stone from Bedford, Ind. A great many men, who saw this published a week ago, have taken it for granted that it is a fact, and are full of the idea that pressure must be brought to bear upon the commis sion to incline it to the right side. As a matter of fact, there was no truth in the rumor whatever. The paper which originated the statement has contradicted it formally, as is shown in our local columns this morn ing, and an official contradiction by a member of the commission appeared in the Globe at the time, ft thus being true that the commission has not pass ed upon the question at all, nor even had it under formal consideration, the time has not come for talking about extreme measures. The capitol commission holds and de serves the utmost respect and confi dence of this community. We have no doubt that their own judgment sup ports the use of Minnesota stone for the stato caniioj, «i;en. thpusrh the total, cost shall be somewhat greater than that of material from abroad. We have no doubt that the commission will lis ten to and respect the practically unan imous voice of the people of the state, which asks that, as far as practicable, the new capitol shall be built by home labor from home material. It Is proper and right to urge thia upon the com mission during Its deliberations in a friendly spirit. It is not proper to talk about reprisals and compulsion, or to voice Implied censure upon a step' which the commission has not taken, and which there is no reason to suppose that it thinks of taking. The advocates of Minnesota stone for the capitol are all right. Let them be sure, however, that they do not go too fast. HIDES MIST PAY. As a part of the mania that holds sway at "Washington for taxing every thing in sight and out of sight, it has been decided by the Republican caucus that hides shall be taken from the free list and subjected to a rate of taxation to be decided upon hereafter. This is clearly shown to be neither a revenue nor a protective measure. It is a piece of the bargain patched up among the Republican senators, by which alone they were able to secure enough votes to pass their bill. Carter and a num ber of other Western senators stood pat on the wool tariff and the tax on hides as a condition of their consent. They know that these taxes will not help their constituents, financially or industrially, as well as other senators know that the sugar tariff will bene fit the trusts and burden the people. They are playing the same old confi dence game, by which they expect to appeal to the local jealousy and sel fishness of their states and, possibly, get back to the senate by pretending to have done great things for the West in opposition to the East. The only interesting and valuable, feature in the caucus meeting, by which the tax on hides was agreed to, is the usual frank admission, by Re publicans themselves, that the whole argument behind the protective system is a humbug and a lie. There Is no more ardent protectionist, on general principles, in thia country than Senator Lodge. He and his colleague, Mr. Hoar, represent the "down East" protection view, which has for many years levied tribute on the rest of the country. Mr. Hoar has been willing in the past to condone almost any offense for the sake of what he calls maintaining the "home market," and Mr. Lodge is a protec tionist dyed In the wool, if he cannot be said to be dyed in the hide. Yet it was Mr. Lodge who, in opposing the tariff on hides, because it would bear hardly on the shoe manufacturers of Massachusetts, declared that it would add nothing to the profit of the farmer on the sale of his cattle, while the withdrawal of free raw material would greatly injure the manufacturer. It Is one of the most extraordinary facts of an extraordinary age that men of reputation and standing should dare to rise in the United States senate and, before the whole country, contradict themselves flatly day after day. When free lumber and iron ore and other raw materials are suggested, these men clamor for protection; and they uphold the entire imbecile schedule of tariffs on agricultural products with the sol emn pretense that this is for the benefit of the farmer because it will add to the price of his products. Hit them in a tender spot with a duty on wool or hides, and they face about instantly and aver, upon their consciences, that these cannot be of any benefit to the farmer, because they will not increase the value of his product. We do not think that any such ex position of deliberate insincerity can be made in the face of the whole people of the United States without a corre sponding: effect. Day after day the Willlagness of men to stultify them selves and contradict their own testi mony for the sake of pushing this bill to passage is Instructing the people as they never were educated before in a knowledge of what protection means lim SAINT PAUL. GIX>BE: SATURDAY, JUNE 28, TSS¥. and what It is for. Never again can It pretend to be anything more or less than a gigantic deal for corporate profit, with the taxpayer footing the bills. Henceforth no D-emocrat need go further than the speeches of Re publicans in the senate on this tariff bill for a complete arsenal of weapons with which to batter and destroy the Re-publican position. The special ses sion of 1897 will stand in history as sponsor for a series of complete and Irresistible arguments in favor of free trade. THE SOI'KCIS A.MD THE « I 111-;, There is one feature of the relations of public opinion and public action in legislation to the trusts and combina tions that have been actively forming of recent years in so many of the man ufacturing industries of the country, that has not been noted in the hot discussion of and general hostility to them, but which is worth attention as indicating both the real source of hos tility and the cure. The popular con ception of a trust is an organization which takes in all or a controlling num ber of the establishments in any line of industry for the purpose of throt tling competition and putting the con sumers of its products at the mercy of the promoters by enabling the latter to fix absolutely extortionate prices. Against this the gorge rises instinc tively, and the frequency with which some of the trusts have acted on this concept justifies the popular idea of them and their purposes, and warrants the hostility to them all shown in leg islation as well as public expression. Again we have one class of trusts which are active in securing legisla tion that will aid them in control ling the markets, either by shutting out or impeding foreign competition, such as the sugar trust, the late nail and rail and billet trusts; and the in stinctive sense of freedom and equality, inherent in every true American. " re volts at both the thing and its means and methods. There is a strange con tradiction in the " legislation that in -one* diro-Ptiou' antagonizes and in an other fosters these trusts. Just now the sugar trust is the storm center of pub lic denunciation, and opinion, at loss to account for the motive that leads the senate to increase its capacity to extort and to reconcile it with the mo tive that led to the enactment of the anti-trust law, falls back upon venal ity as the only plausible one. The fact probably is that the senators find them selves confronted with the duty to en force a party principle on the one side and with the result of that policy on the other, and no avenue of escape. They must give protection to sugar re fining as an industry, and, if they do, it will enable the trust to extort un just profits; but there is no middle ground, within their party, for them to take. But there are trusts and trusts. If one scans the expressions of opinion, he will find that indignation and de nunciation are directed against only a few of these numerous trade combi nations. He will be surprised that other trusts pursue their way in a calm, re ceiving no notice, 'attracting no atten tion, inciting no Judicial proceedings. He will find, on examination, that their purpose is to control markets, fix prices, bar competition, identical with the objects of those which are in the very storm center. He sees the Stand ard Oil trust monopolizing the limited fields of supply, absolute master of the market, extending its operations to for eign countries and negotiating treaties of amity with ita chief competitors there, dividing the world with them, and still nowhere does he hear or read of popular opposition. The echoes of the fierce storm that raged about it twenty-five years ago have all died away. It holds in its absolute grasp the oil trade of the nation; fixes de spotically the price for every gallon of oil; has enormously enriched itg mem bers, and yet there is no opposition to it anywhere. This fact is significant. It indicates that the hostility to trusts is not to the organization per se, but to its methods and purposes; not to the control of the market, but to the use made of that control; not to the power to fix prices, but to the manner of exercise of that power. If one were to examine the cause of public quies cence to the rule of the Standard Oil trust he would find it in the single fact of the common belief that the prices made for its products are fair and rea sonable; that its control has been fol lowed by steady reductions of price and betterment of quality, and that benefit, not hurt, has resulted to those who use them. This is true of other combinations that have followed this policy of the Standard. One hears nothing of the leather, the linseed oil or cottonseed oil or lead trusts, and for the same reason. The significance of this, it seems to us, is that there is no public hostility to any combina tion which is formed to control mar kets, which Is content with finding its profits in decreased cost of production and distribution, sharing the gains with the public in decreased price of product, making the latter one that is accepted as fair and within reason. If this is correct, the adjustment of the relations of the trusts to the public lies with the former and rests solely in the application of sound business principles and methods to their affairs. The marriage the other day of Em ma, the youngest daughter of Capt. Fred Pabst, the Milwaukee brewer, and young Rudolph Nunnemaeher, son of the late banker of the same name, re minds one of the opportunities offered to men with eyes to see them and pluck, industry and capacity to utilize them. It does not seem so long ago, but it was before the war that Capt! Pabst had begun life as master of a little sloop freighting between the towns on Lake Michigan, rising: to the command of a lake steamer, and later by marriage with Phil Best's widow, to the control of • a brewing establishment, which he has greatly enlarged. The bridegroom's father came from Ger many so poorly off for the goods of this world that hts first occupation in Milwaukee Is said to have been that of a woodsawyer, seeking work with his saw and buck on his shoulder. Pa tience, thrift, economy and good busi ness ability made him a banker, with a fortune well towards the million mark, before be died. Other men are now doing the same work, getting to the same elevation, by -precisely the same methods, while others minus their qualities are berating society, their luck, law and order because they have not in ipossession wealth that Is not made e*cept / : as these men made theirs. That the forriksr high-tariff, gold-bug editor of the Pioneer Presw. now the hired free trade, gold-bug.edltot of tteCUbe, realizes the condition he is 1 in is gratifying to us.

"Ingomar," in which twenty years ago Mary Anderson made herslf famous, was presented last evening at the Metropolitan by Robert Downing and Eugenie Blair. Mr. Downing gave a splendid portrayal of the character of the big, brave barbarian, Ingo mar, and Miss Blair, pretty, womanly, win some, was an ideal Parthenia. In the scene where Ingomar cries in rage, "I am thy master!" and Parthenia retorts with bitter scorn, "You are an outlaw's son, a cattle stealer," Miss Blair reads her lines with great force. She portrays charmingly true womanly qualities when she throws away her dagger when Ingomar offers to escort her back to her home, father and mother, ami says: "I'll trust you." Mr. Downing's best bit of work waa In the closing act where he says the weapons of the Greeks are treachery, cunning, cowardice and ca price. The lines, "Two souls with but a single thought; two hearts that beat as one," which run all through the play, were sweet music in the ears of the audience as the curtain went down. The same bill this afternoon and evening. __. WAS BRUTALLY BKATEN. William Ilooth Is Held Ip by Klce Street Tluj«.m. William J. Booth, 23 years old, and em ployed as check clerk at the Ryan hotel, was held up, knocked down, and had his head nearly kicked off by highwaymen yesterday morning at 1:30 o'clock. Booth was robbed of a gold watch and chain, valued at $50, and something over $4 in cash. He stated yester day that he would gladly have said nothing about his valuables had the thugs let him off without beating him in a brutal manner. Booth is of slight build, and a very quiet youth, and lately has been suffering from a severe attack of asthma, which rendered him almost helpless in the hands of the highway men. He left the Ryan hotel about 1 o'clock Friday morning, and started, on his. wheel, for his home at 946 Gaultier street. Just south of the Rice street bridge two men ran into the street, knocked him off. his bike, and pro ceeded to give him a beating. While on the ground one of the thugs searched his pockets, taking his watch and money and part of his Chain, they being in such a hurry, that in tearing it from hla vest a part was left in the button hole. Not satisfied with this the man kicked him in the head and body, and then ran. Booth was a tough-looking sight when he reported the affair to Sergeant Rose, and •as taken to the office of Dr. Brimhall, who 4 ,ut in about an hour sewing up the wounds on his head and face. Lieut. Pendy and Sergeant Rose made a search in the vicinity of the hold-up, and shortly afterward found James Lynch and Frank Stephanie asleep in a vacant house within a short distance of where the assault was comnV.tted. They were locked up at the Rondo street station. Yesterday forenoon Detectives Sweeney and J. .1. Daly arrested August Pruden and Fred Willis, alias Mc- Evoy, on Rice street, on suspicion of being connected with the trick. , Booth yesterday afternoon, at least so the police claim, identified Pruden aa one of the parties who asssaulted and robbed him. He is also said to have partly identified Lynch as another of his, assailants. He is not certain whether there were three or more men in the gang or not, but is sure there were two. The officers claim that a silver piece which was found in Pruden's pocket when he was ar rested has been identified by Booth as a pocketpiece which he carried, and was a part of the money taken from him. Pruden and McEvoy are known to the po lice, and Pruden is now on parole from the penitentiary, he having been sent from St. Paul some two years ago on a charge of assault. SEVEN CORNERS FIRE. Loss Little Heavier Than n-t First F^tlmiitcil. The loss on the livery stable fire at Seven Corners was a little more than the amount estimated In the Globe yesterday. The loss on the building was between $2,000 and $3,000, and on the contents $fi,ooo. Only a few of the carriages were saved. The Insur ance was placed as follows: On Contents — St. Paul Fire & Marine, $1,500; Queen, $1,000; Lancashire, $1,500; German- American, $2,000; Provident, Washington, $2,000. On Contents— Citizens' Missouri, $1,000; Lon don Assurance, $1,000; North B. & M., $1,500; Firemen's, Baltimore, $1,500; Concordia, $800; American, Newark, $1,000; Palatine, $1,000; Eagle, $1,000; Pacific, $1,506; Mechanics', $1,500. IS SOMEWHAT BETTER. William Banholser'i Condition Was Improved Yesterdny. William Banholzer, one of the members of the board of public works, who has been sick for several weeks, was reported much Improved last evening. In fact, he was so much better that he sat up and smoked a cigar, and enjoyed a call made by two of his colleagues from the board of which he la a member. m THEtRH WAS NO CORPSE When Coroner Arrived the Man Was All Ri>vtli. A telephone message was received at police headquarters yesterday afternoon announcing that there was a dead man at Kirkland's hotel. The patrol wagon was Bent to the scene and the coroner notified. It was a mis take, however, as It turned out that William McFadden, a boarder at the hotel, only had a fit and when the wagon and the coroner ar rived he had fully recovered. Accused of Larceny. Belle Hbward. an Inmate of a West Third street resort, was locked up at the central police station last evening on the charge of larceny. The woman Is accused of stealing $65 from Hana Broderson, a discharged sol dier, who claim* to have been robbed In the place. The prisoner denies having taken the money. Mullen's Body Recovered. The body of Toblaa Mullen, the youth drowned In the Minnesota river at Ft. Snell lng Thursday afternoon, was recovered yester day afternoon within a short distance of where ha was drowned.

Ignatius Donnelly's $50,000 libel suit against the Pioneer Press is in the hands of the jury. That body retired at 2:30 p. m. yesterday and ten hours later it was still out, having failed to reach an agreement. As announced in yesterday's Globe, Ignatius Donnelly delivered the clos ing address to the jury. In anticipa tion of this event the court room was crowded yesterday morning when court opened. As soon as Judge Brill had taken his seat and indicated that coun sel might proceed, Judge Flandrau arose in behalf of the defense and ad dressed the jury. From this moment the spectators, among whom were many lawyers, manifested the closest interest, and evinced the keenest amusement in the excoriations and ver bal castigations that filled the court room for the next two hours. Judige Flandrau, after calling attention to Mr. Donnelly's attack on Grover Cleveland and characterizing it as utterly unwarranted and s-currilous, maintained that Mr. Wheelock, of the Pionerr Press, was justified in calling Mr. Donnelly a whelp and a mountebank. Had he not characterized him as such a man should be characterized? "I think he did," continued Judge Flandrau. "Mr. Donnelly sits there; Mr. Wheelock Blta there. I call them in evidence before you. The breath of scandal has never blown against Mr. Wheelock. For years he has conducted his paper and done his duty. Doing his duty unswervingly, he has always been kind, gentle and pure as the Holy Ghost Donnelly atm been selfish. He has hated every one who has stood in his path. Donnelly has been all his life pursuing the world. In the many parties to which Donnelly haa belonged there has never been a man who asked for anything that he did not arouse the hatred of Donnelly. What is the character of this man? Has he been injured, and, if so, how much? That Epeech of his Is sufficient key to the character of the man. but we have something mare." Judge Flandrau ridiculed the assertion of Mr. Donnelly that the Pioneer Press editorial had affected his physical well-being and had brought on eczema. He characterized the sage as a hard old politician and a libeller himself, who could not possibly be injured by the gentle little article written by Mr. Wheelock. When Mr. Donnelly objected to the introduction of hia own evidence, it was because he was afraid it might see the light of day. Judge Flandrau closed with a scath ing arraignment of Donnelly that fairly dis counted the Pioneer Press editorial in it* eczema-producing qualities. Then it was Mr. Donnelly's turn. At hom« In the delivery of invective, Mr. Donnelly set about to even up old scores. Among other things he said: Where was I found when the flag of the country was In peril. As acting governor of the state I wm organizing men for the de fense of that #ag. Hid 'irhere was Wheelock, then? He was thar most infamous thing, a copperhead. Yet he says that h« has aliirays been a Democrat. the shadow of Democracy he may attempt to drive his pur chased knife through the h«art ot the peo ple. True to his copperhead instincts he says Cleveland was right in turning a deaf ear to the cries of the Cuban people. They say that I am of an Irascible and cruel nature, and that I am a personal enemy to my political opponents. That is an absolute lie. Many of my friends are Republicans. I was called on in the legislature to speak, while neither of these men could be elected dog catcher of Ramsey county. These men have not been moved to any sentiment of pity for an old man suffering from a mortal disease, but have rather taunted me with my disabilities. There is Hot a corrupt combination that does not stand behind these men. Thirty years of persecution and Wheelock says that he haa no malice towards me! When he called me a dirty whelp, he had no malice. Yet, counsel betrays himself and his cause, when he calls It only a little tiff between Wheelock and Donnelly. When the Squire of this knight errant asked him .If I had been elected to congress since ha supported me. Wheelock answered with a smile that scintillated through his s!d» whiskers, that I had not. He says that he had no malice towards me. and says .«o, after swearing before God to tell the truth. The recording angel draws forth his dark pencil, and recording his stateruen, whites over It the word "Perjurer." The jury returned a sealed verdict at 1 a. m. To Purohnse Rest Imlimml. During the Rest island meetings thero was considerable talk of purchasing the island. Thursday evening -the matter was brought to a culmination at a meeting of twenty ministers, when it was decided to purchase the tract of land. A blot-k of stock was at once subscribed for by those present The committee will meet next Thursday and put the matter in shape for next year. Last even ing the meeting was addressed by Rev. C. E. Mitchell. THE TARIFF BILL Continued From First Png:p. a protective measure as some that bore the Republican label. Mr. Jones moved a substitute para graph scaling down the duties on all lines of silk fabrics; rejected, 23 to 26. Messrs. Mantle, Pettigrew and Teller voting with the Democrats in the affir mative. In view of a statement by Mr. Platt, Mat the duties would not average above 75 per cent, Mr. White moved a proviso that no duty on silk fabrics shall exceed 75 per cent. Rejected, 22 to 24. Mr. White renewed his motion making 100 per cent the limit of duty on silk fabrics. Rejected, 25 to 2S. Mr. While then tried to limit the duties to 200 per cont. Mr. Mantle appealed to his protection friends to accept this proviso, but Mr. Platt (Conn.) declined, saying It was a move to embarrass the whole bill. Mr. Allison declined, saying the assertion that the rates reached 700 per ceirt was merely a repetition of the unfounded assertions on other schedules. Mr. White's amendment limiting the duties to 200 per cent was rejected, 23 to 28. Paragraph 355 (handkerchiefs, etc.) was agreed to as reported, also 386 (bandings, etc.) with an amend ment adding hat bindings, braids a.n<l fringes; also 357 (laces) with an amend iiifiit omitting braids and ribbons; aho 888 (manufactured silk, not otherwise provided for) and 389 (weight of silk). This completed the silk schedule. The tobacco schedule was then takdfl up. The first paragraph was mnter fcUy modified by Mr. Allison, making the cTut^ nn jrrypper tobacco and fil ler tobacco whennTTxed with mor* than IS per cent of wrapper tobacco kha ajl leaf tobacco, etc.. $1.75 per pound; If stemmed, $2.25 per pound. The baltlinad of the paragraph remains uncliangr- i. Paragraph 210 was agreed to a* rs pcrLed with the changes indicated; :iiso paragraph 211. In paragraph 2(2. cover* inp, all tobacco not otherwise provided for, the committee rate of 40 ce-nta per pound was increased to 55 cents per pound. A similar increase from 40 to 55 cents per pound was made en s>mff, etc. This completed the tobacco sched ule. At 5 o'clock the senate held an executive session and ther. adjourned.
