THE ALBANY CONTEST. The contest .u Albany, New York, be­

tween the str ict car str ikers ' and the* local and state authorities that are en­deavoring to preserve order has re­sulted in bloodshed, and i t looks us tho i t would be fought to a f inish i£ the mob persists . I t is the same old trouble thai has occurred elsewhere, and in

of the country. Says Mr. Logan: "The consolidation ot industrials l ias

made it possible to ascertain how busi­ness has hern conducted by competing firms, and the methods, or lack of meth­ods, of some have been a revelation. I t has been my pleasure to tonn the ac-qunintance of the managers of no less than six consolidations in different in­dustries. and the experience of one Is th<: experience of all . In some of the com­panies consolidated they had r. 'sver known the cost of manufaeiuriuc their woods; there had never been an intelli­gent attempt to learn the cost. Tho principle on which they appear tn hnvp acted was this: If one manufact :r»r quoted for an article a dollar, they knew they could make it for less than he could, and so quoted 00 cents. There was an absolute lack of system in every­thing save in one particular—their sys­tem of rrice cutting without resarl to cost was perfect. Another fact has been discovered In every one of the six con­solidations referred to: The firms or cor­porations consolidated were successful.

The Vinton Eagle observes that "Uro. Perkins, of Sioux City, did not throw -Minister Conger under the chari . i t wheels soon enough to stop to progress of the Cummins machine,"

The Deii lsoii Review, which appears to favor the Conger candidacy, observes that , "without savii jg that -Mr. Cum­mins ' nomination is assured, he is at the present writ ing in the lead in the gubernatorial race."

Noticing that the editor of the Grin-nell Herald announces that he- has had "an egg laid on our table," the Newton Journal suggests "A very tame hen, It must have been to hunt such a place for her nest ."

The Cedar Rapids Gazette notices that "The I.) t-s Moines Register de­mands that the campaign shall be fair­ly conducted and that as an introduc­tion to proceedings of the absolutely fair kind it . shall have the r ight to knock all local opposit ion on the head "

The Carroll Herald says: "Cummins has carried the big delegation from Woodbury county and It serves as a Rood l i te in his race for the governor­ship. The withdrawal of Mr. Perkins, as we predicted at that t ime, has b-en a great thing for the Cummins cause. The trouble with the opposit ion to Cummins is the fai lure to agree upon a candidate. Negation is not a good foundation to build on. there must be a posit ive force, whether i t be called personal following or anything else. The Cummins cause is vigorous and energetic because there is a-deflniteness of purpose, a determin­ation to accomplish something in every thing his followers undertake."

AVOIDING RECKLESS COMPETITION. •Tames Logan, the general manager of

the ITnited States Envciopc Company, in his contribution to the symposium on industrial and railroad consolidations ir. the May number of the North American Review, undertakes to prove that these combinations are the unavoidable re­sults of the ignorant and reckless com­petition from which the business of the country has heretofore suffered. Every industry has been infested with compa­nies whose managers disregarded the most elementary business principles ai>I sold their goods at prices which were

often much below the actual cost. The consequences of such a course were ulti­

mate ruin to the concerns which fol­lowed i t and grave Injury to well-conducted houses which did business on Intelligent and conservative lines. From these unfortunate conditions consolida­tion, so far as it has gone, has rescued the industrial and commcrcial interests

Preliminary plans for the proposed Carnegie technical school in Pittsburg have been made. They provide for six large buildings grouped around a cen­tral courtyard. The course of instruc­tion in the- school will extend thru nin» years. The flr>»t four years will be de­voted to preparatory work, and the sec­ond four to the regular Polle-glntf. work of the engineering schools. The; ninth year will be the post-graduate course, which all finished engineers desire to take before they enter practical busi­ness. The buildings were planned with this long and thorough course In view, and the idea was the rc-sult of long study of the conditions and their suc­cess In the best technical schools of th< old world. Foundries have been provid ed for In some of the smaller buildings, carpenter shops, machine shops, cheini cal laboratories and every facility for the practical application of the theory advanced in the schoolroom*. Facilit ies are to be offered for obtaining the mas­tery of any chosen trade or the group­ing of all for thorough training of en­gineering as a science. All of this is to bo coupled with practice.

One man or a thousand have a right to quit work if the terms are not rea­sonable. but on the other hand one man or a thousand have the same right to accept work when the terms suit them.

A small-sized weekly newspaper whose editor Is reputed to have obtained a large slice of the Gear campaign fund can not now devote every week seven full columns ot expensive type composi­tion to abusing Cummins without arous­ing suspicion.

An exchange notes that for weeks Messrs. Harriman and Trewin have been sailing along on the political seas with not a word of attack ventured against them by the Cummins papers. True the t 'nfettcred and unowned republican press of Iowa has nothing to say against either gentleman. It is the railroad ma­chine crowd headed by IJlythe. Hubbard and their respective organs and fol­lowed by a class of professional office­holders that receive the bouquets from the press admirers of Mr. Cummins. These political tyrants prope>se to de- | stroy every man who refuses to do their I bidding and are constantly attacking an ! eminent leader In their party with a viclousness never equaled by the mean­est members of the opposition party.

A Marshall County Hoy's Candidacy. [Algona Upper Des Moines.]

Jos. H. Allen, of. Pocahonta& will be a candidate for the senatorial nomina­tion In the Humboldt-Pocahontas-Hucna Vista district. I l ls candidacy will have a local Interest for Algonians, as his wife was formerly Miss Grace Gilchrist , who lived so many years here. Mr. Allen Is a. young man of exceptional ability and an active republican. He has the making of a number one law­maker, and as Pocahontas seems to be conceded the nomination he has bright prospects of success. Mr. Allen was chosen delegate to the national conven­tion a year ago by the Tenth district, and was popular with the whole dele­gation. In pushing such men to the front northern Iowa is preparing to take an influential part in state affairs now and in- the future.

Democracy and Plutocracy. [Chicago Chronicle]

A hoarse voice from Lincoln, Neb., declares that, in spite of all that may be said to the contrary, there is nothing to do but to "let democracy and plu­tocracy fight i t out." The principal trouble about thai" is that whenever ile-mocraey has a clean shirt and enough energy to fight at all i t is making a very creditable effort to join the plu­tocracy, If that is what getting on in the world is called. The attempt tn divide the people politically on lines of personal fortune or ill fortune has not been a great success in the past and it is not likely to be in the future.
