value of each animal they slaughter,
when it can be just as we'll saved as
not? There is another point, however,
on which the Chicago press do not
touch, and one that our local butchers
should inquire into. 1t occurs to us
that the first movement in this anti-beef
trust crusade should be a careful in
quiry into the relation existing between
the Big Four combine and the railroad
companies, in order to determine wheth-
er or not the members of the combine
are favored in the matter of freight
rates. We have suspicion that it has
been by means of discrimination in
rates that the beef trust has built up its
power, just as the Standard Oil trust so
effectively and profitably employed the
same means. We have further sus-
picion that this '.S7 saving on bones''
argument is blind to the real secret of
the beef trusts prosperity. AT all events,
it is best to begin at the beginning, and
the real beginning in this instance is to
determine the exact relations between
the beef trust and the railroads.

SOCIALISM IN AMERICA
Judge GrinneIl Discourses on a
Subject With Which He Is Fa-
nniliaE.


CHICAGO, March IA large audi
ence at the Kenwood club tonight
listened to paper on Socialism in
America" by Judge GrinnelI,
who was states attorney in
the anarchist trial. There was
frequent applause. Judge Grinnell
said: 1.-The eager desire of the party
leaders to obtain and retain Office, keeps
socialism and its attendant evils alive.
In Chicago anarchism is exaggerated
out of all proportion to its power for no
good purpose, and some members of
both political parties seem inclined to
act so as to catch this element. In my
opinion the talk about the Anarchists
during this last winter has been
a willful, wicked exaggeration
of their power, an injury to
the fair name of Chicago, a serious
detriment to its business interests, and
l confidently believe the purpose of
such exaggeration was purely political.
Anarchy as an organization is dead in
America. Its advocates have resolved
themselves back into their former state
or .parentage, namely socialism. The
Yankee law has terrified them.
But we cannot with the same
ease brush aside socialism. That
is here not to be Snuffed out.
1t can only be eyaded by returning to
the fundamental principles OF our gov
ernment eschewing paternalism and
class legislation. My conscientious
firm conviction is that protection, So
called, is wrong in principle, fosters
and encourages socialism, and is in fact
socialism, and that with its absolute
abolishment and a return to tariff for
revenue the socialist will die and his
perniciOus doctrines disappear"

Accidents.

MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, March IS
Supreme JOY reigns in the homes of
John Hall, Nicholas Revels, Michael
Buggy, Patrick Leonard and Vincent
Rockius tonight on account of their al
most miraculous deliverance from what
at this hour last night seemed certain
death. Hundreds of citizens escorted
them from the Black Diamond colliery,
the scene of the accident, this afternoon
to Mount Carmel, and constant stream
OF callers has been on hand ever since.
Hall and Revels, though suffering ex-
tremely from nervous exhaustion, gave
tonight the first account of their
experience. These two men were
engaged in driving new shutes
IN Breast No. 8 in the
south slope of the mine about noon
yesterday. when they heard a terrific
enced a shock which caused Hall to ex-
claim to his ''butty,'' ''My God, Nick,
the slope has caved in!" Revels des.
ccended to the gangway and twelve feet
from him found their egress to the slope
cut Off by huge rocks. He called to the
miners who were working in No. Z and
soon saw Rockius crawling from the
debris. They both Joined IN the shouts
and then heard Nearshaisky calling
from the No. 7 chamber for help. He
was pinioued by a large rock and urged
his comrades to come to his rescue.
Ihey climbed up distance but the
danger grew so great they had Just
time to run back when second fall oc-
CURED and no more sound was heard.
The poor fellow was in all probability
killed, though force of men are work
ing for his deliyerance. The five
miners who were saved secured them
selves by setting props in
the ganyway, and they then awaited the
result. They heard their rescuers stop
WORK outside about O'Clock last night:
and. growing desperate, endeavored to
climb up an abandoned chamber and
gain an exit, but mountain-like bould-
ers stood in their way. They returned
to the gangway and endeayored to con-
sole one another. Later they heard
sounds of outside work again and their
hope grew. They betook themselves to
prayer, and the sounds grew nearer.
They then signalied five times on the
solid pillar; the reScurers returned the
signal, and the wives, children and
hundreds of friends at the mouth of
the colliery knew that FIVE were safe.
At 12 o'clock to-day they heard voice
shouting: "Are all safe?" The i'm.
prisoned miners answered back: Five
are here: one Is covered" The next
moment they embraced their rescuerers
and shed tears of happiness. Their de-
lIyerance had been affected by driving
a tunnel twenty-nine yards. Hundreds
OF tons of debris must be removed be-
fore the mine can be put in working
order.

srRA1eHTFoRwARD and honorable

STRAIGHTFORWA and honorable
dealing is appreciated in legislative
matters, as elsewhere. Ambuscades and
subterfuges are especially prone to pro-
duce revulsions of feeling, and it looks
very much as though the action of the
senate committee on lands in the Du-
luth & Winnipeg land grant had had
that very effect. Here is a measure
which has had the fullest possible pub
iicity inevery phase and in every stage,
and which is of sufficient importance to
warrant the most careful consideration
in open session. The senate has un-
doubtedly taken that view of the case
in its action in placing the bill on gen.
eral orders for final disposition, and
thus preventing what looked like a
scheme in killing it off in a sparsely at
tended committee meeting. The friends
of the measure. who are largely from
the northern portion of the state, where
the full effect of the proposed grant will
be felt, claim it will be a most potent
factor in the development of their sec
ton and are determined to have free
and open expression in the senate, as
was conceded in the house. The bill
will now come up on its merits; and
whatever may be the result, the senate's
course yesterday, in rebuking the dee
mated committee on lands, was emil
nently proper.

THE LEGIsLATIyE WORK.

Nearly two-thirdS Of the legislative
session has passed by, and, naturally
enough, the people are beginning to
scrutiniZe the character of the legiSla-
tive work, to ascertain whether or not it
is in the line of public expectation. So
far, comparatively few bills have been
enacted into laws. and SO few of them of
a general nature that popular judgment
must necessarily be suspended while
longer. 1t is perhaps more fortunate
for the legislature than otherwise that
most of the legislation to date is of such
an innocent quality as to provoke but
little criticism in either direction. In
the main, the laws of general nature
that nave been enacted are meritorious,
and consequently satisfactory to the
constituency. The crucial test is yet to
come. The bills of most general inter
est to the body OF the people, particu-
larly to the taxpayers, are still hung up
in the committee rooms and are pushed
back on the calendar. Whether they
have been retarded because of the de-
sire OF the members to give them more
mature consideration, or whether they
are purposely held back by the origina-
tors to be sprung and pushed through
in the legislative melee that
must necessarily enSue during the
closing hours Of the session, remains to
be seen. But whatever the cause, the
people have more to fear from the legiS-
lation of the next thirty days than all
that has been done. So it becomes
duty that the members Of that body owe
to their constituents to provide against
haSty and ill-timed legislation. No bill,
however Innocent it may appear Oh its
face, should be allowed to go through
in rush. or without the same scrutiny
that is given to those of known impor-
tance.
The two important features of legis-
lation yet to come, upon which the
eyes of the people of the entire state
are resting, are the apporti0nment and
the appropriation bills. Each. section
will want a square deal in the reap
portionment, aud every taxpayer is in
terested in the appropriations.
There is no possible excuse for re-
sort to gerrymandering devices in this
state, and every effort in that direction
will meet with disapprobation from the
masses of the people. The Republican
majority in the Legislature is too large
to be endangered by a reapportionment,
SO that the only basis upon which re-
apportionment can be made that will
receive popular approval is the one that
gives absolutely fair and equal repre-
sentation to all sections, without regard
to whether it will increase or diminish
the Republican majority in the state
legislature.
So far as the appropriations are con-
cerned, the legislature is we'll enough
advised as to the popular will. Re-
trenchment and economy are the popu-
lar maXimS of the day, and the legisla-
tive body that runs contrary to them
only succeeds in digging political
grave for it's members. The people are
watching the legislative roll call with
unusual interest this session, and they
are keeping an accurate record of the
vote for future use.

HOLD ON.

1t is given out from Washington that
the judges in Dakota are to be removed
at once in order to secure a Republican
body that will do any partisan work re-
quired. They are not subject to re-
moval, and can hold to the end of their
terms, or until superseded by the state
Judiciary. They may be requested to
resign; but to do SO, in view of the i'm
putation of the request, would be a vir-
tual confession of its justice. Honor
and dignity should prompt them to re-
fuse to step down in the face of intima-
tiens of partisanship. Even if Chief
Justice TRIP is the minority member
of the board of apportionment for men,
bership of the constitutional conven-
tions, the two Republicans should be
able to restrain him from shattering the
temple of liberty or doing other dread
full things. 1t is very unusual to ask
judicial officers to resign, and such de-
mands are only warranted by the in
competency or unbecoming conduct of
the incumbents. 1t is carrying PARTISAN
ship beyond bounds of decency.

THAT REEE TRUST.

If for no other reason. we would be
inclined to the opinion that the bill rec
commended by the st. Louis convention
as protection against the beef trust is
a good one, simply because Mr.. AR
MoUR's Chicago newspapers are protest
ing against it. The most prominent
reason given in explanation of how the
beef combine can overbid the butcher
for cattle and undersell him with the
product is that ''they get about 81 for
the bones" The argument is that the
ordinary butcher loses about one-fifth
Of the value of the beef in the waste of
bones and other matter which are util-
lied by the beef combine in making
glue and fertilizers. There is a point
in this which our local slaughterers may
consider. If glue factories and bone
mills are profitable in Chicago, why
should they not be equally profitable
here? What necessity is there for our
local butchers wasting one-ffth of the

The idea of making trouble for the
victim Of strong drink is not exactly in
line with sentimental and reformation
theories, but is spreading good deal.
Some of the Eastern legislatures are
following the Minnesota example. AS
drunkenness is shameful and nuis-
ance. it is insisted that the party guilty
of it shall feel the harsh grip of the law
in person, rather than in vicarious
way. A Philadelphia paper regards it
about as rational to hang the maker of
the gun and let the murderer who used
it escape, as to punish the maker or
seller of intoXicants for the excess of
those who drink them. The illustration
will, however, hardly be accepted by
prohibitionists.

WRECKED FREIGHT TRAINS.
An Open Switch Plays Havoc at
Howard Lake.

HOWARD LAKE. Minn., March 15.-
An open switch was the cause of a
collision between the east and west
bound freights on the Manitoba track at
11:30. The east-bound train was heavily
loaded with wheat, and coming on the
down grade at about five miles an hour.
1t ran into the cars of west bound as the
latter lay on the switch. Seven cars of
the former and five of the latter were
wrecked. The engineer and fireman of
the east-bound train saved themselves
by jumping. Their engine was badly
Jammed at the boiler head and lost It's

THE SAMOAN MATTER.
1t Is the Result of an Agreement
Between England, France and
GapmnrU
Germany

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-An even
ing paper prints an interview with a
gentleman now in this city, who claims
to have official reasons for knowing the
true inwardness of the Samoan compli-
cations. He says this Samoan trouble
is only the outcome of a policy long
since agreed upon between England,
France and Germany. Laying the minor
features aside, New Caledonia was to be
allotted to France, Samoa to Germany
and the Hawaiian islands to England.
Many arguments are advanced for the
purpose Of showing that the policy of
these governments from then until now
has been to gain possession of these
respective islands. Speaking with
special reference to tine Hawaiian
islands, this authority says the En-
gliSh need some special privilege for
a station for their Pacific cable.
Negotiations are now pending and have
been for year or more for the COM
plete purchase of the whole of one of
the Hawaiian islands by English
parties. This will be news to the peo-
pie at Honolulu, as we'll as in the
United States. 1t is full time, though.

are not being conducted by the British
government. but it is possible that they

DIPLOMATIC sINECUREs.

Col. j. ID. WASHBURN was appointed
to the Swiss mission on the urgent rec
ommendation of Senator HoAR, of
Massachusetts; and Mr.. HoAR's reason
for urging the appointment seems to
illustrate the sineeure quality of our
diplomatic service. 1t was because Mr..
WAsHBURN was in bad health, and
needed recreation. The idea of con-
verting the diplomatic service into
hospital for invalid politicians is an
unique proposition, to begin with. But
the idea of a government paying a man
who happens to be a favorite with the
administration big salary to go to for,
Ell gn parts to rest up, is something that
ought to extract a grumble from the
taX-oppresSed population of this coun-
try. Mr.. WAsHBURN is reputed to be a
man of great wealth, and if his health
was SO impaired as to require change
of climate he ought to have sought the
change at his own expense, and allowed
the diplomatic work to be assigned to
some one capable of performing it. If
there is no work to do, and probably
there is not, then there is no necessity
for minister resident in Switzerland.
1t is said of the late incumbent of the
Swiss mission, Col. BOYD WINCHESTER,
of Kentucky, that the only thing of
note that he accomplished during his
four years diplomatic service was that
he introduced draw poker in Switzer-
land, and made good deal of money
while teaching the liberty-loying sons
of the land of TELL the mysteries of
our national game. And so far as any,
body knows, there is no other use for
diplomat in Switzerland. The same is
true of most of the other countries to
which we send ENJOYS on big salaries
and at heavy expense to the govern
ment. As matter of fact, our diplo-
matte service is only retained as an in
centive to politicians to do good CAM
paign work on the occasion of a ma
tional election. And yet, singularly
enough. the men who do the least work
usually get the fattest places: while
the hard workers are put off with the
promise of something better next time.
