On Saturday it was reported that the COM
bination of coke producers was still resolved to
turn ont the wives and children of the king
Conrcllsville coke workers into the snow AT
the same time a statement appeared that the
combination was financially stronger than 1t
had been at any time since the purchase OF

William II. Vanderbilt. This will remind
many New Workers to ask by whom that inter

held by the sons of the late William II. Van
derbilt. to whom the great unnamed residue OF
his estate WIS devised, would it be out of place
for Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt to visit the coke
region for himself, and see if the wives and
children of the workers ought to be turned out
shelteress and homeless in this bitter winter.
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt has not the reputa-
ton in this city of a cruel, graspng or lint
hearted man. On the contrary, his active par
ticipati0n in many benevolent and religious
ORGANIZATIONS has led men to believe that IN MS
charge the vast power of the property entrusted
To him will DO WoTthily and hOnorably used.
We feel very sure that he is not the man to

the owners. 1t is possible that they imagine
that they must be grasplng anl lnhumln, III
order to satisfy the demands of owners not per-
sonally known to them. In either case, II a
large owner shuuli ~ to the spot, and see Tor
himself he would know what he was dong.
Then he might be able to give TO his own con
science a satisfactory reason, if he snoud alter

starved or frozen to death in consequence OF
orders issued for his gain.
If Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt is not an owner
or controller of a large interest in these coke
works. the suggestion does not apply to HIM,

THE DAKOTA BILL.

The Senate has passed bill 10 admit South
ern Dakota and To create Territory named
Lincoln from the northern part ot the area.
The debate on this measure has been crcditablc
to Senators Harrison, Logan and other Repub-
licans who have taken part in it, and espccla ly
to Senator Harrison, who had charge of the
measure. and whose skill and power in discus
sion were never shown To better advantage than
in exposing the insincerily of the pretexts upon
which at different times he admission of Da-
kota has been resisted by the Democrats.
There is little probability that the measure will
succeed in the House. though, II the majority
in that body were wise, even with sole regard
to its political interests, 1t would not Longer ex-
pose its patty to the odium of rejecting com
munity so clearly entitled to admission as
State.
It was said with great force, in the discussion,
that the Democratic party, true to ts Bourbon
instincts. appears TO begin in 1856 Just where
il left of in 1850. 1t went out of power retus-
ing to admit Kansas because the people OF Kan
sas wanted to make it free and Republican
State 1t comes into power, and almost lts hrst
important act is refusal to admit Dakota be-
cause the people of Dakota want To- make 1t
free and Republican State. The injustice to
Kansas cost the Democratic party votes by the
Thousand in all the Western States, and fast
ened upon it stigma of dishonorablc partisan
ship and willingness to disregard the public
interests and the rights Of citiz' from which
it has never yet recovered. 1t has an oppor-
tunity to remove that stain by the admission of
Dakota without condition or qualification. But
there is scarcely anybody who looks for
course so politically udicious or so honorable.

The old principle that there is hole IN every
combination has new illustration IN the recent
orders for steel rails from England, and 1t Is
stated that several other negotiations arc IN
progress, companies preferrng to give more
for the rails with guarantee OF their quailty.
The makers in this country can combine 10 con-
troll the price and output, but are not aDle 10
control the quality of rails which each maker
may please to put out. The fact that some
have turned out very poor rails is Indignantly
admitted. The peculiar nature OF the fai
River strike appears in its settlement on the
basis of a 10 per cent advance in wages, the
price of print cloths having begun to decline.
But II is said that the workers will want still
higher wages If the price should advance
again by the end of the month. Other labor
troubles still continue, and the COEnellsvllle
struggle already affects the supply of iron at
the West. and may possibly affect the markets.
In that case also artificial combination hurts as
much rs it helps.

and that means a descent below the leVel oi
even Chinese civilization, and is not I'd DC
thought Of Notwithstanding the buster anu
turbulent talk of demagogues, the people OF
California generally have endured this burden
with patience which proves the depth ana
soundncss of their Anglo-Saxon training. Inc
recent depression has made il much heavier,
and the virtual failure of the Restriction Act
has caused great discouragement Now there-
fore that the California Representatives ask
Congress to amend and make effective the Ia"
whose enactment was a pledge to aoate tne
Chinese evil, the request ought to be careluhy
considered, and granted, as regards the vallda-
ton of the Restriction Act if only from sense
Of justice.
For it is clear that the people of the Pacific
Coast are fully entitled to all the relief when
was expected from the Act as originally passed
but which has not taken effect because 'l ue-
frcts in the provisions. One OF the blIls lh'ro-
duced by Mr.. Morrow extends the terms or the
Act to twenty years, the argument being that
as the original Act has only sig years to run, IL
will be difficult to induce settlement unless
there is some assurance against the removal OF
all barriers to Chinese immigration before new
This provision is liable to provoke some 0pDo-
siton and another, which authorizes the Treas
ury Department to police the frontier to prevent
the smuggling of Cinnamon, is open to the o6Jec-
tion that such an undertaking is almost lmprac-
ticablc, and that the attempt to carry IL OUT
would probably only result in waste of the pub
lie funds. But as regards the other provlS 0ns
which look to the validaton of the Restriction
Act, their enactment appears just and right. IL
certainly was not the intention of Congress to
enact restriction law whi'h should be prac-
ticaly useless, but through inespeience that
was the result of the attempt to afford relief. 1t
may almost be said that the endcavOr to check
Chinese immigration has to be begun again. so
little use has the law been, and whatever Is
necessary to give California what the country
has already promised her should be Conceded

Mr. VJLdS as A L1W-BRE1KER

The shipping interests of the country are
again attracting the attention of Congress.
Mr.. Dingley, who has been ndefatigabe in his
effJrts to tighten the burdens of ship-owners
has secured favorable action in the House of
Representatives upon his new measure. His
bill, while limited in scope, will promote the
interests of American vessels engaged in the
inland and cOastwise trade. AS it has en-
cOuDtered little opposition in the lower house,
and merely provides for the removal of fees and
charges imposed under the shipping laws, 1t
will undoubtedly meet with the approval of the
Senate. The commercial marine not only de-
serves but actually requires, more generous
treatment than it has received at .ashlngt0n
during recent years. While foreign Govern
ments have adopted liberal policy IN compen-
sating National steamship lines for mail trans
portatiOn and in removing every obstacle In the
way of the development of ship building and
commercial exchanges, the interests OF Amerl-
can shipping have been persistently neglected
by Congress. 1t is Il good augury to iind that
the first really important measure originating
in the House relates to the relief of the COM
merca marine
But while Congress is considering measures
of this nature, it should not neglect the oppor
tunity of investigating the summary manner in
which the Administration has vetoed previous
Acts passed for the express purpose of promot-
ing shipping interests. 1t is hardly worth
while for the two houses to devote good
share Of their time tD exhaustive debates on
this subject, if their measures when enacted
are to be set aside by the Postmaster General
and rendered practically imperative. The
act appropriating 100000 for the American
steamship lines, not as subsidy, but as an

The Tarrytown people are naturally good
deal interested in the question of providing
adequate police protection for their property,
but unfortunately they cannot agree upon any
plan. There is force in the objection of some
of the residents against hiring Yonkers to send
up policemen to do the work. The official pro-
tectors of every town should be subject to the
local authorities otherwise they are apt to be-
come altogether too masterful. The river
towns are rich and each one of them should
have it's own force of policemen. Then such
fellows as Timmins would be reluctant to go
to Tarrytown even before they had committed
burglaries.

If the House were not Democratic and pro-
fessedly devoted to JetfersOnian simplicity. we
should not think the plan to give each Repre-.
sentative a private clerk had chance of
being successful. But under the present circum-
stances, it would not be strange if Mr.. Carletons
bill went through. That means the expendl-
ture of $39O,OOO more each year out Of the
public treasury. The argument in favor of this
proposal is that no Congressman now has time
to attend personally to his official correspond
ence. Considering now few of them spend any
of the 1925 per month allowed them for station
cry, for paper, pens or ink, but take it out in
other things, we should think that their letter
writing was not great burden. Certainly a
private clerk is not Jeffersonian simplicity.

not the same consideration be shown by the
