Robert Garrett and ais sister.
From the Philadelphia INQUIRER.

Robert CARROTS recovery of Insntal and
physical health is the first gleam of sun
Shine that has come to the Garrett family
for more than five years. No household
with millions in its possession has ever been
so afflicted as the CARROTS. Within half O
decade Mrs. John w. Garrett has been
thrown from her carriage and died of her
injuries her husband soon afterward sue
cumbed to a malady that was aggravated
by the death of his wife; then their elder
son, Robert Garrett, lost his mind, and
while is hysicianS were taking him on
tour of the world In the hope that tis
would restore his mental powers,
his brother. Harrison Garrett, was
drowned by the collision of his
yacht with a steamer in Chesa 1eake bay
But the friends of Robert Garrett have
never CEASED to predict that he would one
day be himself again and re-enter the rail-
road and finance field with vIgor and wis
dom. That prophecy may soon be realized.
The increase of the Garrett capital during
the illneSs of Robert Garrett is an accepted
fact in fl anciel circles, Notwithstanding
that the family holdings of Baltimore and
OHIO railroad stock have drawn no divi-
dends for three years. This increase is due
altogether to the sound business sense Of
Miss Mary Garrett, tho only 'aughter of
John W. Garrett ard sister OF Robert.
SIT seems Incl edible, but it is the TRUTH
said Baltimore lawyer TO Philadelphia
friend recently, that this young lady has
virtually handled the Garrett railroad and
banking interests ever since one of her
brothers was attacked with disease and the
other lost his life She is not yet 80 years
of age and is handsome woman of the
blonde type. She obtained her business
traiaing from her father, to whom she was
a constant companion in his later years
and she turned it to good acc unit when tue
Garrett family was actually deprived of a
male head. No woman has ever had
such a responsibility of this kind placed
upon her as that which Mis- Garrett volun-
tarily shouldered, and if @ whole story of
her work could be told it would be a MARIA
tive of the most extraordinary business
qualifications that any woman has ever
shown. Tho millions of the family have
been added to durin her stewardship.
She possesses some 800 900 in her own
name, and she has made Robert Garrett a
weather. man than ne was when he in
herited his fatrer's seat as president of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad"

THE STRIKING TRENCHNIEN.


We print an appeal from leading
workingman of Omaha for the striking
laborers of the waterworks company to
stand firm in their demands for fair
wages. On that score no fault can be
found. THE BEE has always encour-
aged workingmen in every legitimate
effort to better their condition and in
any endeavor, by united action, to en-
force fair pay for their labor. Work
ingmen have as much right to withhold
their labor or fix price upon their time
as the capitalist has to withhold
his money or fix price upon his wares.
But there is sharp line between peace
ful and lawful means to enforce the de-
mands OF labor and an effort to compel
compliance with these demands by
force or violence. No matter how reas-
enable the demands of labor may be,
the employer is at liberty to reject them,
and workingmen cannot resort to vio-
lence or the destruction of property
without subiecting themselves to Sc
we're penalties as law-breakers, besides
losing popular sympathy.
The breakage of water mains, the
flooding of streets and the damage in
flicted upon property places the men
engaged in the waterworks strike in a
very bad light, and deprives them of
sympathy which they would otherwise
receive from all classes of our citizens.
They may deny completely with this
piece of vandalism, and ninety-nine ont
of their number may be innocent. The
break of the water main was not an ac-
cident. The question is, who did it?
Does it stand to reason that the
managers of the waterworks would
conspire to have the company's own
property destroyed and lay the company
liable to pay heavy damages to property
owners and the city? Is it reasonable
to suppose that the malicious breaking
OF that pipe was committed by an oat-
slider who had no grievance? Other
parties besides the striking working
men may have had grievances against
the waterworks company, and it is pos
sible that such parties have committed
this crime. Unfortunately, however,
the suspicion rests upon the strikers,
and they will be held responsible unless
they can furnish positive proof to the
contrary.

could be delivered to it on the Canadian
side, and its transportation OF it being
thus wholly within its own territory no
restraint could be placed upon il in the
making Of rates. 1t is thought to be
more than likely that the interstate
commission will decline to interfere
in tho matter in which case the ques-
tion will arise what regulations, If any,
can be adopted to relieve the American
road from its disadvantage In the
consideration Of that question the in
terest of the coal companies would have
to be taken into account, the special
rates operating TO encourage large
shipments of our coal into Canada.
But the competition of the
Canadian roads has much
broader scope than this, and
the decision touching the particular
issue presented to the commission will
have a far-reaching effect. The
Canadian roads are carrying large and
steadily increasing shipments of Ameri-
can commodities from the west east
ward at rates lower than those OF our
transcontinental lines, and are showing
q disposition to take the largest posi-
BILE advantage of the freedom they
enjoy from the restraints imposed by
law upon American roads competing
for the same trade. Notwithstanding
the denial by the president Of the
Canadian Pacific of the charge that his
road is an aggressive competitor of the
other Pacific roads, Mr.. Joseph Nlmmo,
jr., very conclusively shows that it is
so. He cites the fact that when the
American trans-continental lines, two
years ago, made a seventy-five cent
rate on sugar from San Francisco to the
Missouri river, the Canadian Pacific
made sixty cent rate, and he notes,
also, that about eighty per cent of the
exports OF cotton goods from the New
England states to China and Japan
are going by the way OF the
Canadian Pacific railway and
its subsidized steamer line from Van
couver, evidently due to lower rates
than are offered by American roads.
Obviously this Canadian competition
presents very serious question as af
fechng American railroad interests,
and how it shall be treated is a matter
of no small difficulty. Our government
can exert no control over the Canadian
roads, and any regulations designed to
exclude them from competition would
likely encounter vigorous opposition
from large body of American shippers.
1t is an important and perplexing phase
of the railroad problem.

HITS AND MISSES.

The Deadwood papers insnuate that stages
and horses are a superiiuous part OF the
equipment of the Omaha board of
trade excursion, and that transporta-
tion facilities are ample IN that
section. This is a cruel thrust at Modoc
Jim's royal "Tally-hos." They are as far
above the old stage coach as Pullman is
above second rate smoking car, and will
give the Deadwood people sample of metro
politan luxury on legs and wheels.
In the language of Prof. Test, "Hurrah
for Omaha"
The upper Farnam street flood laid bare the
rottenness Of cedar block pavement.
When Superintendent Chase turned his
Indian band loose on President Cleveland
with Hail, the Couquering Hero Comes"
the people Of Omaha rejoced that civiliza-
tion was success in teaching poor Lo how
to blow his own bazoo. Few people sus.
pected that 1t was private Investment, or
that the Indian base bali club which gath
cred shekels throughout the state was play
ing profitable engagement for the superin-
tendent. The inside history of Chase's man.
agement of the Genoa school proves that he
was patriot for revenue only. The youthful
aOOrlBlneS are 10 DC congratulated on preSerV-
ing their hide and their scalps They are the
only trophies left of the Chase.
The clearings of Omaha banks continue
piling up proof of the remarkable progress of
the city. Last weeks records shows that
the total is safely anchored above the four
million point an increase of thirty-five
per cent compared with the corresponding
week of last year. The per cent of increase
is greater than that Of any city in the west
or northwest, except Denver, whose total is
half million less than that of Omaha. No
city in the east approaches it, And what is
still more gratifying is the fact that the job
bing business, the real estate transactions
and building permits issued show substan-
tial gain over last year. Omaha is all right.
The following note has been received at
this office:
"To-days World says, under the head, THE
BEE Crawfishes,' that THE BEE can't show
where the World throws its paper in yard
where they did not subscribe for it, or words
to that effect. They left it at my place, 1904
Meredith avenue, for u whole week, until 1
told them / had not asked them to leave it
and would not pay for it. L also found
dozen or more of their papers thrown in the
weeds"
This is no surprise. We have received the
names of other parties who never subscribed,
never paid anything for it, and cannot induce
it to stop its free delivery.

4 PROHIBITION WATERLoo.

The prohibitory amendment was
overwhelmingly defeated in Massa-
chusetts yesterday. 1t was expected
that the effort to engraft prohibition
upon the constitution Of the state would
fail, but the most sanguine opponent of
the proposed amendment could hardly
have hoped for more signal defeat
than IL received. The prohibition
forces were thoroughly organized, and
fought their campaign with vigor and
earuestness seldom equalled in SINH
lar contest. Every influence
they could bring to bear
in behalf OF their cause was
utilized. The weather was favorable to
their getting out every vote on their
side. Yet they were beaten by a ma
jority OF from forty to fifty thousand.
1t was victory OF sober reason. 1t
was the triumph of facts and experience
over mere sentiment. 1t was the recog-
milton by large majority of
the people OF the truth that
prohibition does not prohibit. This
had been demonstrated in Massachu-
sets as elsewhere, and most OF
her intelligent and thoughtful men
long ago decided against policy
which had been proven not only in
capable of accomplishing its intended
purpose, but inevitably productive of
evils no less damaging to society than
those it was designed to cure. With
far more temperance OF speech, and
with more regard for the logic of facts
and the lessons of experience, than the
advocates of the amendment, its oppo-
nents appealed to the reason and judg-
ment of the people, and the re-
suit is victory, the ultimate
effects of which will do more
to advance the cause of temperance than
could possibly have been accomplished
with constitutional prohibition.
The effect of this result will be far
reaching. It. will have decisive inhu-
ence In Pennsylvania, where the people
are soon to vote on the same question,
and its lesson will be needed elsewhere
In states where like issue is re-
ceiving public attention. The example
OF the intelligent states Of Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island, which
have tried prohibition and demon
strated its failure, will not be lost upon
the thoughtful and unprejudiced people
of other states. 1t will strengthen pub
lie opinion everywhere in favor of high
license and local option as the only
practicable and certain policy for re-
stricting and regulating the liquor
traffic, and thereby promoting temper
ance. Within two years seven states
have rejected constitutional prohibi-
tion, and the indications are that Penn
sylvania will increase the list to eight.
