BUILDING AN INDUSTEIAL CITY.
In tho building of an Industrial city the United States Steel corporation is applying tho lesson of Pullman and Essen. The Pullman idea did not contemplate the purchase of building sites by the workman who might look for habitation within its walla and fences. As an Industrial city Pullman has been a failure. The suites and cottages that were built to rent in Pullman are now for sale. The property upon which, according to the original scheme, the founders of the city exacted a certain tithe can now be acquired by purchase. In other words, Pullman has become a community and ceased to be a corral. The theory upon which Pullman was founded was sound. It contemplated the willingness of ordinary skilled and unskilled humanity to accept the beneficent assurance of earning $10 and saving $2. The economical proposition was worked out to a nicety. No man wno came within tho pale of the Pullman idea had to do aonytblng but live, breathe, have his being and rear his family. lie was
permitted only to spena as much as earned. The company eaw that he paid his rent and his grocery bill for the company owned the grocery stores and the houses and all that he had left
was his. Tho more ho saved the better he was liked. Things were progressing as favorably as the affairs of mice and men are
permitted to progress, wien the courts took a hand. It was pointed out that tho Pullman company, under its charter, had no right to own and operate a town, however model it might be. For years the lawyers lawed it and when tho legal proceedings had run
tho gamut of all things courtly and the supreme branch of the state bench had passed upon tho rights and wrongs In the. premises, Pullman was offered for sale. That is to say its horses and
lots were offered for sale to any and
all comers. But there were no ccm-
ers. The theories in operation in the model town had not been the means
of making any of tho tenants who oc
cupiod tho homes in Pullman and
worked for the corporation, millionaires, and although the court's mandate ordering the sale of the property went into effect something like nine yeai-s ago, it is not of record that any of tho houses have been sold until recently. The word has gone forth that the Pullman folk are becoming so pros
perous of lata that they don't know what to do with their money and are beginning to invest it in homes in Pullman. The Pullman company has set Its price and has eventually gotten it from such as have bought. Gary has profited by Pullman's blunders, if blunders they were. It seeks not to supervise the goings and comings of its employes. It seeks not to own their homes unless the employes choose that It shall. The United States Steel company offers lots and houses for sale and it offers them for rent. The employe may take his choice. He may buy his groceries of a subsidiary company or he may run his own grocery. But at the end of the month there is small doubt that the money tho Garyjte earns in workins' for Gary will land just where it started out from. The United States Steel corporation will pay it to the
men and It will return like the bread that is cast upon the waters. It is only a question of the length of the tether. In Pullman under the original regime, the tether was exceedingly short and the man to whom it was attached realised that he was tethered. With the Garyite the case is different. The tfther is long and the tethered man j not bo accustomed to liberty in its Lro.4 sens as are the native sons of toil with which Pullman reckoned. For fven ten years ago the native American w.i fci'. -r man was not yet extinct.
of curves and crooked track In 10) minutes; it struck a switch, the point of which had been broken off, and in a moment the horror was enacted. It i3 not for the public to say where the responsibility lies in case of accidents. It doe3 not manage the roads. But it has a right to demand that so many accidents shall cease. They do not occur with s.ich frequency and with such appalling results in other countries. Surely, therefore, they need not occur with us. In this California case, for example, why was there a broken switch point over which a heavy train was dashing
at high speed? Broken .switch, point do not "happen." Thev are caused.
There ought to be Inspection sufficient
between trains to know when they are caused. This also is the business of
those that manage roads. Of late it lias been charged that the rails furnished are of such quality that they break too easily. Perhaps tills was tho case with the switch. This also is a matter for the railroad management to attend to. And clearly, it is time for the people to demand that more careful attention be given.
We have Just had the report of the
interstate commerce bureau for the
last three months. It shows 20,941 passengers and trainmen killed and injur
ed. This was an increase over the
previous three months of 1,100! If that does not show criminal carelessness
it la difficult to characterize it! It
should be - Just as possible for us to
un trains safely as for enlightened
Europeans. But we shall not do it until we hold railway men to the same responsibility that Europe holds them,
both as to consequences and as to safeguards and appliances for insuring a minimum of accidents. In the face of
the death list and list of injured that our roads cause year after year and which they are increasing, to permit a plea of cost to weight against the
immediate adoption of modern safety
tppliances Is criminal. The people
should suffer it no longer. They should end the situation. They only can end it, and they can do it only by
the adoption of laws such as secure
similar results In other civilized coun
tries. Indianapolis News.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE
NEW YOKE LETTER. New York, May 15. The stock mar
ket opened a shade stronger in sym
pathy with higher prices from London.
The advance appeared in several
quarters.
Baltimore & Ohio was notably weak
during the first hour, opening oft a full point based on the poor showing expected in the April report which will be issued in a few days.
Around the noon hour quite a sur
prise was sprung upon the trade. The Interstate Commerce Commission rendered its decision upon the inquiry and
investigation of the Harriman lines. It was a sweeping deunnciation of the present relations between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. T he report is radical and suggests that the Attorney General attack the validity of contracts now existing with Illinois Central, Rock Island, Atchison, South
ern Pacific and Union Pacific; It further states that the purchase of stocks of one railroad by another be prohibited and that restrictive measures to prevent the inflation of securities be enacted. This decision fell like a thunderbolt upon the bulls who were anticipating a more conservative ruling. Stocks
started to decline with Union Pacific the
weakest feature. It declined from 147 to 142 and dragged the balance of the market with it. Every active stock upon the list showed declines toward the closing hour. Manipulators in National Lead common were at work again for the first time in months. They bid up this security from 64 to 68 Va without attracting any outside following. The market upon the whole closed irregular and weak.
by one of the important bull operators who apparently over-stayed the market. Cash sales were large, over 200,000. Oats in the sample market off a quarter closed weak.

Third Tern Talk. As for the "third term question,'
thero is no such proposition before the people, and there is never likely to be. Most certainly it can never be
applied in the case of President Roose
velt at this time, because he has never
been elected president but once. By
law a governor cannot succeed himself
in Indiana, yet everybody knows that Should Governor Hanly die and Lieu
tenant Governor Miller filled out the
unexpired term, he would be eligible
for election to the office of governor at the ensuing state election. There Is no law forbidding the election of a president for a third term other than that of custom, but that law is as much respected and is as binding upon the American people as if it had been
fixed in the constitution by the fram
ers of that instrument. When Vice President Roosevelt filled out the unexpired term of President Mclvinley he
did it in the fullest sense. He ignored hl3 own policies and inclinations and carried out those of Mckinley, as he had pledged himself to do. As a matter of fact it was McKinley's administration, performed by deputy. When Roosevelt was sworn In as president on the fourth of March, 1905, the Mclvinley administration not only ended but McKinley's policies also. The present vigorous policies of Roosevelt that appeal so strongly to the people and are so obnoxious to their plunderers were Inaugurated. The people want to see the work of regeneration commenced by Roosevelt completed by him, hence they desire to have him become a candidate for a second time for president, and he certainly owes it to them and to the generations to come to sink his individual feelings and preferences and comply with this popular demand. All this talk about the third term by correspondents of trustowned and trust serving newspapers is sheer nonsense. It is dust kicked up by the trusts and corporations in the hope of deceiving the people and weakening the president's hold upon them. The effect will be to impress the peo
ple more strongly of the necessity of
giving Roosevelt a second elective term as president. Indianapolis Independ-net.

Mayor Schmitz states that he fears ho cannot get Justice if tried in San
Francisco. Why not? That city has
twice expressed confidence in him by
electing him as Its chief executive.
Surely if Mayor Schmitz has done no
wrong he need entertain no fear. He
is among the people who have honored him and trusted him, and who may
be depended upon to stand by him if
his integrity is established. There is no reason for him. if he is innocent.
as he protests, to fear a San Francisco jury. If ho is guilty, however, the
case is different. Still, even under such a condition he need have no fear
of not receiving justice. Indeed, jus
tice would oe what he would have cause to fear. And there is reason for thinking that is just exactly what he
does fear. Fort Wayne News.

Liverpool is somewhat lower than the close of our market on Saturday with spots lower and sales only fair and our market should open off about 6 points on summer months and 5 to 7 points on winter months. The weather conditions look somewhat be-tter this morning and the press is commenting upon the fact that improved weather conditions in the belt while it will not repair all the damage, will causo quite an improvement in the situation. We do not look for any advance this morning, but should a good one come for any reason we would sell a line of January cotton.

Chicago, May 15. WHEAT Trade has become more normal in the wheat pit. The range of fluctuations today was only one and one-half cent. Early prices showed a fair amount of strength due principally to additional bad crop reports. Some sections of the southwest have discovered another pest to destroy the wheat crop. The "army worm" has started to work and is reported to be doing damage. Weather conditions in the northwest are reported a little more favorable. This induced considerable selling to take profits by the longs. It Is argued with a few days of clear warm weather in the Dakotas and Minnesota, seeding will begin in full force. The last prices were almost the lowest of the day both July and September closing weak with a loss of about
a cent respectively. CORN The largest trade in months appeared in the corn pit during the first two hours of the session. Early prices ranged from one-half to one cent higher due mainly upon reports of damage to the crop which is just
heading. These reports come from Kansas only and are not taking seriously as it is too early In the season for any pest to harm the corn crop. Prices broke off in the last hour of the session, losing all of the early gains. Cash demand is reported disappointing while the arrivals at prlmary markets are liberal. OATS Weak and lower, caused by the liauidatins of a line of long oats

ises to prove the best month in the
history of American railroading and May and June will round out the year
with satisfactory increases in gross and net returns. The bank statement was considerably better than anticipated
and the bears have little except rumors of financing with which to hammer the market. Developments for the time be
ing, however, are not likely to be on
a scale comparable to the Harriman
figures, while In our opinion the market level discounts this whole feature. We would confine purchases to the better class of securities, though the southwestern rails should do much better.

ing on any further advance In the market, the trend is still upward, and in our opinion a considerably higher level of prices will be witnessed before long. The short interest in such stocks as Union Pacific and Reading is still large and Is likely to be compelled to cover much higher, especially if the weather conditions in the West should prove favorable to the crops. The absorption of the high class stocks still goes on and there should be important upward movement in the Hill Issues, St. Paul, Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Louisville & Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line, while Northwestern and
Sugar should improve still more. We
have every reason to believe that rail
road earnings from now on will prove a considerable bull factor and in the
case of Baltimore & Ohio and other
stocks will more than make up for losses In the net account due to un
favorable conditions earlier in the year. The steel controversy is of insignificant importance as far as the steel stocks are concerned and the demand for rails for 1903 delivery is breaking all records for this time of the year.
