The Miles City Dressed Beef Co.'S

IN what ever light this matter is placed
it cannot but be a misfortune to the
range country. There isno denying the
fact that coWmen are being underpaid
for their live beef and large slaughter
houses in the range country are one Of
the feelers put out to find a. good road for
the cattlemen out of present slough Of
dispond', Of low prices. As far as, tho
'feelerSin Miles City is concerned, it did
not live long enough to prove ything

tical ranckmen can form q partnership
with a practical butcher, to thoroughly

Six thousand Of Swift & Co.'S and Nell
son Norris beef butchers struck Monday
morning sooner than return to the ten
hour-a-day rule. Two or three hundred
Gamers from Libby, Men Zeal g. Libby
also struck as theit firm was: getting beef
from the above firms. This viii un-
doubtedly be the last stand made iii Chi
cago against working ten hours q day.
If all employees In tile United States: of
any one trade should work eight hours d
day. there would probably be no trouble
except for the fact of; machinery and
capital lying idle a fifth longer than was
expected when the works were erected.
This difficulty could doubtless be- remed-
led, but that of one OF more firms work.
ing on the eight hour plan with ten
hours pay while all other firms work ten
hours places the first alta disadvantage
that will soon find the bottom Of the
best-flled pocket. 1t is simply f1nanci-
al impossibility fora firm in any busi-
ness to pay twenty per cent. more for
their employees than do other firms.
Since last May. this is5exactly what the
Chicago packers have been doing and
they now find that they must either stop
it OF; close up their works. Il the butch
ers all over the United States were well
enough organized to all demand eight
hours work, the: plan would be success
full and after things were adjusted to the
new order, entirely satisfactory. Until

THE EXTRACTION CASE.

The report of the final proceedings IN
the Mccarthy extradition case occupies
a large portion of our available space to-
day. We give it this prominence be-
canse the case is one of special public
interest, and will form precedent Tor
future action. An impression had gone
abroad that these Islands were safe
refuge for defaulters and criminals OF
every degree of Nervousness, and the
Coast press has been in the habit OF
writing very strong and pointed articles
upon that assumption. A perusal OF the
decision of the Supreme Court yesterday
in McC trthy's case should remove TINS
false impression and set the point at
rest hereafter 1t will lie seen that the
policy of this Kingdom, from the very
beginning of its Legislative action, has
been a recognition of its obligation to
surrender fugitives from justice who
might seek refuge on these Islands
This principle was Incorporated IN the
first systematic body of laws enacted IN
this Kingdom in 1916, and was re-
affirmed in the Civil Code OF 1859, indie
pendently of the extradition clause IN
the treaty of 1850 with the United States.
1t will thus be seen that so far as the
Hawaiian Kingdom is concerned, grea'
Injustice was done it OH the subject OF
extradition. The blame rests with
foreign Governments which did not APP
ply for the extradition OF fugitives from
Justice. and not with the Government
and laws of Hawaii. The latter rem
dered the process of extradition compare
lively easy, although no treaty may have
been in force.
It is not our purpose to discuss the
merits or dement's of McCarthy's case
If an error has been committed any
where, it has not been by the executive
or judiciary of this Kingdom; and on his
return to California, Mccarthy can com

A Model Wife.

Detroit Free PresAl
Jones was well aware that his wife was In
the habit of rifling his pockets when ne was
asleep, but, like wise man, he kept silence
on the subject. One night, however, ne
awcke and caught her in the act.
stHar' he exclaimed, what are you dong,
The lady started, her cheeks flushed, the
rantaloons dropped from her grasp, ana she
was about to make a full confession when a
bright idea en- tered her head. Recovering
her composure she said:
IT was looking to see whether your panta-
looms needed any buttons"
They dc, they do, my dear" he ex'
claimed, springing from bed, needed 'em
for weeks, months and wondered why you
didn't sew 'em on; but l waited, for was
sure YOU would get to it some time. And
how kind of you to get out of bed at tins
time of night to attend to 'em. Say what
YOU will, there's nothing in the world like a
good wife. Let me turn up the gas little
SOS You'll have all the light you want IN
sewing 'em on Got your needle and thread
and the but1ons2 No. Well, tell me where
they are and I'll get them"
Mrs Jones proceeded to sew on the but
tons, while her husband sat on the side OF
the bed and encouraged her with words OF
praise for her wifely care and thought for
his comfort, occasionally remarklng thai
eo where he would be would always say
there was nothing in the world like good
| wife.
Then he went to the wardrobe and brought
out several pairs of trousers, q coat, two OF
/ three old vests, and q number of shirts, from
/ all of which buttons were missing, and cheer
! lily observed:
while we're at it Wen make night OF
it,"
Two hours later, when Mrs. Jones with {
| weary sigh, removed the thimble from bel
finger, Mr. Jones patted her on the cheel
and said
Il say it again, my dear, say it again
that wherever 1 go l will make it known

gets up in the middle OF the night to sew

the Courts of the State are open TO MIN. |
But it is our purpose to point the lesson
conveyed not merely in the finding OF
the Court in this case, but emphasized
in the concurring opinions OF the Chief
Justice and Mr.. Justice McCully, to the
effect that the Hawaiian Kingdom must
no longer be regarded as a place Of
refuge for unconvicted felons.
At the same time, while the moral ell
/ feet of this decision may, and doubtless
will prove eminently wholesome, we
should greatly deprecate any stralnlng Oh

beneficial. 1t is hardly safe to dispense
with those forms in extradition proceed

Illegal Attempt to COLLECT Money.

In the Police Court yesterday one
Chinaman was charged with assault and
battery on another From the evidence
it appeared the defendant asked the
complainant to pay him some money he
owed. As he refused, the defendant
bounced upon him and committed
a rather violent assault. In former
wears, about the time OF Chinese
New Year, such cases used to be
quite frequent, and some OF them ended
in murder. Since the Court visited
these offenses with heavy punishment
very few cases have been heard Of His
Honor Justice Bickerton made a very
pointed charge, telling the defendant
he had his remedy in the Civil Court i
he could not collect money. He had nc
right TO take the law i'll his own hands
and he would send him to prison fol
