The conversation, however, continued along the same subject for a while, and presently Mr. Bailey said: "The ownership of competing corpor ations by the same hands cannot goon. This Pennsylvania railroad combina tion is one that will hare to be broken up, and will be." Afterward, in speaking of the same subject to others. Senator Bailey said: "These corporation officials who vio late the law, who break every law tha congress enacts, are doing more to create anarchists and socialists than all the propaganda that those people can put into operation from now til doom's day." DAILY TOi2lTl l A WALL STREET STORY. j A St. Louis man killed himself be Cause he caught only' three small fish after a whole day's angling. The silly season has been fairly inaugurated. The mayor who takes his chances on inciting rif . who ignores the preroga tives of the common council which is equally responsible with himself in safeguarding the city's interests, who publicly destroys property, and who in word and act practically insults and de fies the courts, does not afford the highest incentive for the young men of any city who should look to those about them in places of public trust as ideals in the study of political economy. And now the report is going the rounds of the press of the state to the effect that Mayor McCaskrin and six Rock Island aldermen are in jail for violatiiig an injunction, relative to the destruction of railroad property. This sort of notoriety may delight the soul of the mayor, especially in this con gressional district, but it is hardly re freshing to the aldermen who are not seeking to sacrifice their reputations for the sake of a little cheap political capital. Next a Ijw With Iron Teeth. A conversation at the Waldorf-Astoria, in which Senator Bailey of Texas participated a few evenings ago. has created a great deal t comment among the persons involved and those to whom they related it. The facts leaked out yesterday. Mr. Bailey, who had made a flying trip to Xew York, was seated at a table at the Waldorf-Astoria with some friends, when several persons promi nent in corporation affairs came up. Some of tbem were officials of the Standard Oil company. The gentlemen at Mr. Bailey's table were acquainted with thrm. and introduced them to the senator. They sat down and the conversation naVirally turned on the recent events at Washington, the determination evi dent there to make things unpleasant for eorixjra'ions. and in particular the parage of the railway rate bill, with the stringtHt amendments added in the senate. Mr. Bailey did not say much at this stase of the conversation. He listened to the Standard Oil men. who gradually became stronger in their expressions. They complatned bitterly at the dis position evident in Washington to make things unpleasant for them, and sharp ly attacked the railway rate bill and the senate amendments. Presently Mr. Bailey, who had been listening patient ly, struck into the conversation In an emphatic and menacing tone. "You gentlemen who run these cor porations." said he. ."must obev the law. If you had obeyed it in the first place, you would not have this nev leg islation lo complain of. All your prop erties are held by virtue of the popular respect for law, and yet 3'ou are the very men who are doing most by your acts to l-eak down this respect for law. "Every time congress passes a law you violate it. You have violated every law w have given you. We gave you the interstate commerce act; you vio lated that. We save you the Sherman anti-trust law; you violated that. Then we gave you the Elkins law. and you violated that. Now we give you a new one. If you violate that, we will give you another that will have. iron teeth.' A pause ensued after this declaration of Senator Bailey's. After a while one of the corporation officials present as' p-1: - "What do you mean, senator, by a law with iron teeth." "i :;.rr:i a law that will send every one cf you Hie penitentiary," an BWF7rd Senator Bailey. After this very little was said by the others present about the unfair ness of. congress's attitude toward cor- More Illinois Machine Politics. Illinois continues to lurnisu a spec tacle worthy the consideration of her citizens who have not kept in close touch with political developments. Gov ernor Charles S. Deneen, who entere office as something of a reformer, spends most of his time in Chicago planning; to maintain the unity of the Duneen machine in Cook county and to prevent the Lorimer faction from re gaining control of the party organiza tion. Iliads of messes were called into council and some attempt was made to force harmony by inviting Congress man lorimer and some of his lieu ten ants into the conference. The immense county ticket to be named for the fall election was parcel e;l out among the Denet ii cohorts, each taking as much pie as he could consci entiously demand. When Iorimer found that he would have the filling of those jobs lately occupied by republi can machine cogs, he balked and bar niony disappeared. Governor Deneen and his sub-bosses thereupon complet ed the late with loyal Deneen men The point in this exhibition is that the governor's legislature, at a late extra ordinary seission. enacted a primary law. It was .claimed for the law that it gave the peoj.de the privilege of seltct- iag thtir officials. Democrats and in s urgent republicans who could not be cowed by the .Deneen whip knew that the measure as passed meant the exact reverse. The primary law. the St. Iouis Republic holds. resolves machine politics into a science, and Governor Deneen and his politicians go on rec ord as Exhibit A in the case of the state of Illinois against the republican machine which is now running the commonwealth. The unconcealed ac tions of the governor simply demon strate how much of a primary law the new bill it not. The Fourth of July.

During the first one or two years of the century speculation In Wall street, to use a forcible expression, "boiled over." The merchant prince, the law yer, the doctor, the clerk, the coach man, the housemaid were all "in it." About that time I got into the "kettle" myself with a thousand dollars that had been left me by an aunt. Stocks kept going up, aud I dotibled my money. When summer came on I put it all in the common stock of the Xorth ern Pacific railrosid preparatory to go ing to the country. With my $2,000 I bought 200 shares, my broker lending me what was needed to complete the purchase, holding my stock for se curity. The price was par. I went to the mountains to join a party of which Miss Gylling was a member, with a view to closing a win ter's courtship a net entering upon a contract of marriage. She appeared to be much pleased to see me, but some what constrained. I dul not know it at the time, but she was not quite cer tain that I was a desirable parti, financially. I was quite certain that 1 was not. I had but $2.kx) in the world, and a recession of 10 per cent in the value of the stock in which it was in vested would wipe it out as chalk fig ures may be wiped from a blackboard. But it was love, not money, that I was considering, and I supposed Miss Gyl ling was influenced solely by the dic tates of her heart. Miss Gylling soon showed that she was temporizing with nie. She did not wish me to make a declaration un til she knew how I was situated finan cially. I, supposing sin? was not sure she loved me, cast about for some other girl to whom I might devote myself, thus giving Miss Gylling an opportu nity to learn how a prospect of losing me would affect her. Little Agnes Worsley. whose plump figure, round, rosy checks and laughing eyes were pleasant to look upon, seemed tr me a fitting person for my purpose. When it was evident that my atten tions to Miss Worsley were not pleas ing to Miss Gylling 1 inferred that the latter bad a better knowledge of the state of her heart, and. taking advan tage of this fact. I made my proposi tion. I was disappointed that she did not fall into my arms and wbispei Yes." She did no such thing. She re pretted having led me too far, though she "liked me very much," and gave me hope that I might be accepted in time. Chilled by this reception of mv declaration. I tnrned away to meet a telegraph boy, who handed me a dis patch. Opening if. I read: One hundred and fifty bid for Xorth- ern Pacific. Shall we sell?" Going to the writing room of the ho tel. I wrote au order to sell, and hand ing it to the boy directed him to send it at once. Miss Gylling came into the room as I was going out and asked me if I had received any bad news. I was so excited at baring made $10,000 that I told her of my good fortune, though, not caring to be known as a speculator, I did not give her the method by which it had been acquired. For the rest of the day she seemed at a loss liow to treat inc. One moment she would appear to favor me and at another to repulse me. Just before sep arating for tin night, she promised to give me an answer the next day and led me to believe it would be favorable. In the morning I received a telegram from my broker asking why I had not replied to his inquiry. I at once went to the telegraph office aud found that the boy who bad carried my message had been run over bv an automobile and the order to sell had not been tele graphed. I wroe a duplicate order to sell and banded it into the receiving clerk, then went to the hotel. As I en tered I heard a man say, "What's the matter with Xorthern Pacific?" A few minutes later a message followed me from the telegraph office from my bro ker. "Shall we nrll Xorthern Pacific? One hundred bid." Here was a loss of all my profit, and from the message it looked as if the stock would go lower. Miss Gylling came up. and I handed her the mes sage, saying that it advised me of the loss of the $10,nno I had made the day before. She looked somewhat diseon certed, as though the loss or something connected with it annoyed her and, seeing her mother across the hall, left nie to Join her. I was sitting on the piazza, feeling very much disgruntled over my bad luck, when Miss Worsley came along, I wanted some one to sympathize with me and told her how I had made $10,- 000 and lost it. She not only sympa thlzed with me, but encouraged me to hope something might happen that there was no prospect of hapenlng a delightful trait possessed by some wo men with more heart than practical sense. A loy stepped np to me and handed me a telegram: "Sold 200 Xorthern Pacific at l.OOOJ "That stupid telegraph girl has writ ten 1,000 for 100," I remarked. Just then a man passed me reading a newspaper, and I saw In scare head lines: "Xorthern Pacific 1,000." I asked him what it meant, and he said there was no doubt that 1,000 was bid for the stock, but little or none was for sale. In my ecstasy I threw my arms about little Miss Worsley and hugged her. I telegraphed for a repetition of the notice of sale and found myself In pos session of $192,000. Miss Gylling did not get the news of my good fortune in time to take me in, and my overt act to Miss Worsley com mitted me to her. My wife pursuaded me never to gamble again In stocks, and we are very happy. GEORGE STEVENS. .
