What Judge cooIey saws.

Judge T. NJ. Cooley, chairman OF the in
tnrstate commerce commission, arrived in
Chicago to attend the matters connected
with the administration OF the interstate
commerce law However. he is giving spe-
cial attention to the matter of the propos-
ed legislation which has in view the requir-
and the giving Of bills OF lading
that will be conclusive OF the
amounts stated in them. Judge
Cooley was engaged in taking the testi-
mony OF a number OF prominent board OF
trade men. He has arranged for a meet
ing with the Chicago committee OF the
Central Traffic association. It is his de-
sire to get the views both for and against
the proposed legislation, particularly the
facts having bearing upon this mat
ter. Judge Cooley, also expects to
decide upon the matter Of instituting
an investigat ton OF the causes OF the Chi
cago, Burlington q Quincy railroad strike.
When asked his opinion regarding Presi.
dent Perkins views upon the workings of
the interstate commerce laws, as ex-
pressed in his annual report as
president OF the Burlington road,
Judge Cooley replied that he thought
the injury the interstate commerce law
had done to the railroads OF the North
west was far less than the injury
caused by the quarrels OF the railroad
companies among themselves. He thought
that with a careful observance OF the pro-
visions OF the law, aud the preservation of
peace among the railroad companies, the
law would be found beneficial instead Of
harmful.

The Murderous "White CAPS -

Crawford county, Indiana, has a Ku-
Klux gang OF rutiians known as white caps,
and their nightly raids are reported by
telegraph. James Seekers, Robert Broom-
field and Mrs. Nancy Wilson had incurred
their displeasure and fifty OF them rode
up to Mr.. Wilson's house. where Broom
field and Seebers were spending the night.
Both men and the woman were seized,
taken to the woods, stripped,
and tied to trees. The men were given
l25 lashes each. the switches cutting to
the flesh and drawing blood at every
stroke. The men tainted several times,
but water was thrown upon them and
they were resuscitated. only to be again
dashed. The woman, tied to tree near
by, was frightened almost into insensi-
bility. She begged piteously that she be
spared, but the white Caps were merci-
less. At the end OF twenty fve lashes the
wretched woman was apparently in dead
faint and was spared further torture
When the victims were united they fell to
the ground and were left there The
white Caps" Uhen rode away to the resi-.
dences OF other disreputa bles to notify
them to leave the country or take the
consequences. Several people who have
been warned have fed to Kentucky.

Petition to Judge Cooley.

A petition, emanating from the Burling-
ton strikers and numerously signed by
prominent business men and railroad Off.
Gals, was presented in Chicago to H ION.
Thomas NJ. Cooley, chairman OF the inter
state commerce commission requesting the
commission to meet in Chicago for
the purpose of Investigating 'the
character: the causes and the re-
suits OF the controversy between the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
company and a number OF it's late employ.
es. ~ In the petition it is claimed that
the contro versy relates almost exclusive.
ly to wages, and that the strikers have
been and are now willing to submit their
claims to arptra ton. It. is also claimed
that the Burlington has obtained moons
petent engineers and firemen to take
the places OF the strikers, and
that by reason OF their employment ''the
road is not at present a safe one for the
public to travel on, and that under its
present management it fails to perform its
duties as a common carrier"
Chairman Cooley, after reading the petit
ton, informed the attorney for the strik-
ers that the commission would grant the
petition and institute the investigation,
and that the first hearing would be order
ed Tor a date as soon after the 9Th OF May
as possible.

corner OF the ice house and by its side q

former employees OF the brewery be-
fore the coroner's jury as the prop
erty OF John Arensdorf. The body

EST Nopus ~ REEUs.

A LITTLE four line item about the IN
crease OF insanity and idiocy in Norway
since the removal Of the tax on spirits,
which appeared in Thursdays ADyER-
r1sER without note or comment, has
thrown one OF the Bulletins correspon-
dents into a state peculiar to crack
Drained fanatics. 1t is at once ludicrous
and sad to observe the frantic and inco-
herent rawlings which are called forth by
the slightest suggestion that the con-
sumption OF alcohol is deieterious to the
sbuman economy. The item in question
was taken from the New York Medical
Record. which is understood to be as
respectable and responsible probes
sional journal as comes 10 this country.
We think most persons whose prejudices
or appetites have not entirely over
whelmed their intelligence will agree
with us that a scientific periodical OF
established reputation is more reliable
source OF information concerning scienti-
fic facts than an anonymous and reckless
ink-slinger in the Daily Bulletin.

BELLIGERENT POWELL.
The Slayer of Ralph $. Smith Attempts
to Shoot Another Man.

REDWOOD CRY, October 25.-Powell,
the slayer of Ralph S. Smith, attempted
to draw pistol on T. j. Mcnamara in a
saloon in this town. Last Tuesday night
Powell was playing cards with the pro-
prietor, John Gown, when Mcnamara
walked in and stood by watching the
players. He made some remark about
the game when Powell turned to him
and demanded to know what business
he had there, and called him vile names.
Mcnamara resented the insult by strik-
ing him.
Powell thrust his hand into his pistol
pocket and Mcnamara rushed out into
the street, breaking the glass doors as
he went. Sheriff Kline, who was some
distance away, heard the noise and upon
entering the place, Powell threw up his
hands and the Sheriff searched him, but
found no weapon.
Powell, it will be remembered, shot
Ralph Smith in this place last Novem-
Der, after having made threats to do so,
on three different occasions. The Su-
preme Court admitted his right to be re-
leased on bail last September, and he
has been at large since then. Two trials
have been held before Judge Hunt and
both juries have disagreed.

CONSIDERABLE feeling was caused on
Tuesday in connection with Mr.. Graen-
halgh's departure. He owes certain
amounts in town-no very heavy sum
probably, but sufficient to cause protests
to be filed against his passport. 1t trans
PRED that he had passport from the
Foreign Office and departed serenely.
The matter OF his going IS probably Of
no great moment. but the existence OF a
system whereby the object Of the pass
port law can be and frequently is de-
feated, is certainly pernieious. Strong
attempts have been made to abolish the
law. Such an attempt was made at the
last session and was opposed by an in
f1uential portion OF the community, which
probably caused the failure of the Ell
fort. Such being the case IT certainly
lies with the Ministry to use great eau
ton that the object Of the law shall not
be defeated from headquarters. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Graenhalgh will re-
turn and will properly adjust all OF his
affairs. He certainly appears like an
energetic man and one who may prove
valuable citizen The whole affair Illus

We publish elsewhere a translation
from the Luso Hawaiiano. It indicates
to some extent the course OF thought
among our Portuguese brethren We
live in a singular community. Race
differences produce at least five wholly
distinct classes with some interests in
common but many which are wholly
diverse. There is no doubt that the anti
Chinese feeling is very strong with the
Portuguese, but il is not wholly founded
in justice. The lack Of land has more to
do with idleness among that people than
any Chinese competition. Ii they could
be settled on small farms scattered over
the country, the Chinese themselves
would be consumers to certain extent
of their produce, such as poultry, swine,
some vegetables and other farm products.
There is no reason in the assertion that
the election OF 1890 will be terrible
struggle, and that it will be fortunate if
it terminates peaceably." The article
bears marks OF an attempt to keep alive
bitter feelings and TO revive hostiiities
which might well be buried. The
Chinese question will continue 4 live
issue, but there are other differences
which had better be put aside. The real
interests OF the Portuguese and all others
demand united effort to revive the
whole round OF industries in the country.

good Tor ne. I" In Kau the destruction,
at one place, is not confined to the actual
trees felled; it has injured a very prom
ising little coffee plantation. Robbed OF
the shade under which they used to
luxuriate, the coffee trees are steadily
dying. The owners or rather the occu-
piers OF the land alluded TO, for they are
tenants not owners, see present gain to
be obtained by clearing off the timber
they have no thought for the future.
Something ought to be done to arrest
the wholesale destruction that is going
on. in other places men have to be pro-
tected against their own selfish interests
and they certainly should be here. The
question IS one that interests everyone
on the islands, indirectly.

Tree CULTURE occupies the minds OF
every nation OF any importance or de-
grse Of western civilization. Something
has been done for tree culture here and,
experiments with various kinds Of trees
have been made at 3Iakiki, above Puma
hou, at Lihue under the auspices Of the
Lihue Plantation Company and at vari-
Gus other parts OF the Islands All these
have been very praiseworthy efforts and
attention has been called to them from
time 10 time both in our editorial and
our news columns. But it is not only
necessary to buildup, it is equally neces-
sary to preserve. There are thousands
Of acres OF forest land on the Island OF
Hawaii, and if they were intelligently
managed they would be source of ma
tional profit and advantage for as long
as this country maintained an intelligent
grasp upon its own affairs. At the pres
ent time these forests are being wofully
wasted. A year or so ago attention was
called in these columns to the destruc-
ton Of the forests above Kohala, and it
was then shown on the testimony Of old
residents that the water supply of the
district had been really impaired by the
indiscriminate cutting of the old timber.
Kohala is not the only place, however,
where such cutting is being carried on.
IN Kona the industry Of telling timber
goes along merrily and considerable
tracts are being denuded OF their trees.
Were any judgment shown in selecting
the trees to cut and were the place clear
ed and replanted, everything would be
well. But it is not so. The contractors
care for nothing but present gain and
act upon the principle of the man who
said: .Why should ! bother myself
about posterityf Posterity never did any

The Government ought to look into
the matter OF assisted" landings. The
term will appear strange to a good many
people, but it is easily explainable and
We think it is perfectly applicable. In
many places where the landings have
been very bad the Legislature has voted
a certain sum for landings. The pldnta-
tons which have been situated near the
landing have supplemented the sum by
perhaps smaller one, an equal one, or
in some cases larger one. In certain
places this supplemental expense has
been steam crane. The assistance"
has, however, in many cases, been a
lump sum, the plantation having also
advanced lump sum and the govern
ment owns It's proportion in everything
about the landing. Now, see the result.
A landing, which has been improved at
considerable public expense, is regarded
by this or that plantation manager as
his particular property. A tariff is estab-
lished and rates are charged for the get
ting of freight up the cliffs. From in
formation we have received these rates
are exorbitant. We have been informed
that in several places the smallest par
eel is not lifted y for less than 25 cents
and that larger freight is in proportion.
Anyone will readily see how powerful an
engine for influence, if not for extortion,
such a state of things may provide to
any but the most balanced mind. Take
the world through and you viii find that
you may give the best of men the oppor-
tunity and they win become both I'M
scrupulous and arrogant. To be thor
oughly balanced is given to fewsaye such
men as Herbert Spencer or the late Pro-
lessor I. H. Green. Men win wish to

punish this man, to thwart that, because
in their sell conceit or their SELF right
eousness, and we have both forms OF the
disease finely developed here, they think
he ought to be. They have no idea of
individual rights OF the citizen They
may talk largely OF freedom; they may
most earnestly desire that reforms should
take place which will give others, save
those Immediately under their sway, the
greatest opportunities for free personal
action, but narrow it down to the per-
sonal issue and you find them the merest
husk, the veriest charlatans. But this
after all is the epitome of the world, past
and present, and as far as reasoning
human intellect can foretell it is likely
to be to the end OF time.
But to return to the actual wrong just
now being DONE Should not the gov
eminent, having expended public money
certainly not purely for the private
ends OF the plantations-should not the
government, We say, step in and regulate
the prices charged for getting freight into
the hands OF the individuals to whom it
belongs? From our point of view there
is no :" should' about it. We feel NOR
ally certain that the proper word to use
is must" The proposition can no
longer remain proposition; it takes the
form of an axiom and should be set forth
thus: The government must regulate
the scale OF prices charged for getting
freight into the hands OF the individuals
to whom it belongs" The case is clear
on the side OF the people. Public money
has been expended for that; the public
should therefore have its guild pro quo,
its equivalent The plantation agent,
manager or owner may turn round and
say, But if you had not my assistance
you would have to do without alto
gether?" Very true, and If the whole
construction had been at the plantation
expense that would be very good case;
but it has not been, and the ease and
facility with which the plantation ships
its freight has been obtained in part by
public money, therefore the public ought
to have its share in the facilities given.
This matter has been argued again and
again. 1t is for ever coming up. 1t has
been fought out in Europe, it has been
argued out in the United States. 1t is
the question of what the monopolist can
manage to make when he gets the
chance. In the particular case TO which
we refer it interferes with trade The
extra freight charged makes it impossible
for any outsider to compete with any
particular prediction OF a plantation
manager The laborer has to pay the
prices charged at the favored store, for it
is impossible for anyone else to compete.
Had this subject been ventilated at the
time of the Legislature, we feel sure that
it would have been regulated, but even
now it is quite in the province of the
Minister OF the Interior to make enquiry
into it and we very firmly believe that
he has it in his power to regulate the
matter to a very considerable extent
The mere matter OF newspaper publicity
will have its effect also Attention should
be given at once, for distinct wrong is
now being done.
