which transport freight to and from any

edging that violations of the law are fire.
quent among the railroads of this country.
"Yet," he says, s'there is no means Of
reaching the great and supreme offender
of all-the Canadian railroad" This is
another triumph of Imagination over facts.
There are exactly the same means of
reaching the offender in one case as in the
other, namely, by the penalties of fine and
damages provided in the law for both.
When those who affirm this inequality are
pinned down to an exact statement they
try to make itgood by asserting that on that
portion of the Canadian roads traffic
arising and terminating in Canada they
are not subject to the restrictions of the
long-and short-haul clause. But in that
respect they are on an equality not only
before the law, but in actual fact with the
trunk lines of the United States which
have the same exemption on their traffic
within States having no such enactment.
The real trouble between the roads of
the United States and those of Canada is
that the latter are carrying the products Of
the Northwest more cheaply than our
trunk lines are willing to do. This makes
the object of the corporations, in continu-
ing the palpable mistatements concerning
the law, plain enough. But what is the
purpose of the esteemed Telegram in mis-
informing its readers concerning the law?

Art IN TRAIN ROBBING.
Violence deprecated by Mem
bers of the Profession.

Unnecessary Violence deprecated by Mem
bers of the Profession.
Philadelphia Inquirer.l
There are various methods of stopping the
train but the simplest. quietest, most merci-
full and, on the whole, preferable one is to
hang out red lantern. This avoids the
labor incident to ditching the train, takes
less time and does not endanger thelive Of
the passengers. A train robber must care
nothing for human life; but it is still scarcely
professional to take it without occasion, and
besides if one happens to be arrested, as will
occur sometimes, 1t is better to be "sent up
for few years for robbery than to be hanged
for murder When train robbing becomes
fine art, unnecessary violence in conducting
it will be deprecated by the profession.
By careful planning beforehand and a
systematic arrangement of work, it is esti-
mated that q train can be stopped, the ex-
press car broken open and the safes trans
ferred to a wagon by six men in from 20 to
80 min utes; during which time, if the sched-
uIe has been properly studied, there need be
little danger OF interruption by other trains.
A slight disarrangement of the locomotive
will insure its further detention for an hour
OF more, and in the meantime the band can
escape with their booty to a rendezvous
previously arranged-after which there is
nothing TO be done but to open the safes,
divide their contents and keep out of prison.
The last is a contingency that must be
faced but it never deferred bank burglars,
and train robbers will be equally ready to
can be made fine art and the indications
are that unless something is done to nip the
growing industry in the bud it will soon de-
velop into something of the kind.

a POSSIBLE DHEMMA

The rumor that Italy has taken advan-
tage of the strained relations between the
United States and Chile to renew her de-
mand for apology and indemnity for the
New Orleans mob murders may be mere
roorbach but it arouses interesting specu-
lation as to the logical dilemma in which
such a demand would place the Admins
tration
How would the State Department deal
with double diplomatic situation of this
sort? Would it be possible to make an in
ternational issue out of a sailors riot at
Valparaiso while declaring that the organ
ICED mob at New Orleans was without in
ternational significance? Can we claim
that the Chilean Government is response
bic for the former fight, and at the same
time assert that our Government has no
responsibility for the acts of the New Or
leans lynchers? The fact that consistency
is not usually deemed an essential quality
in diplomacy has been clearly recognized,
but it seems rather difficult for diploma
fist at the same time to set up one theory
of international law for the United States
and another for Chile
Not to speak of the ultimate difficulties
which might arise if the United States had
the navies Of Italy and Chile to deal with
at the same time, the logical complication
presented by this report justifes the hope
that Italy viii generously spare us this di-
iemma. or that the Administration will
take the earliest steps to straighten out the
Chilean muddle

THE DATE Is SET.
Next Summer Fixed the Time for the
Great European War

Next Summer Fixed as the Time for the
Great European War.
Chicago Tribune.1
All signs indicate the probability of great
European war next summer. France and
Russia upon the one hand and Germany,
Australia, and Italy upon the other are plac-
ing themselves upon an active war footing
by concentrations of troops on their from
tiers by reinforcements of their fighting
strength. by frequent maneuvers and move
ments of their armies, and by laying in
enormous supplies of provisions-far more
indeed than would be necessary if there
were no prospect of war. Speaking of the
massing of troops, a correspondents of the
New York fines calls attention to the fact
that there are over 100000 men in position
between Odessa and the Pruth and Warsaw,
and that since the first of August 300, COO
Russian troops have been thrown into South
western Russia, the entire force previous to
that date having been posted in Eastern
Russia. Such colossal movements as these
mean war if they mean anything.
The nations are expecting war. The peo-
pie talk of war as if 1t were sure to come. In
the Baltic provinces the old antagonism be-
tween Russians and Germans grows more
bitter every day. Bloody encounters fire.
quently occur between the students of these
respective nations. They share the enmity
which exists between the Emperor and the
Gar There is no sympathy and can be
none between these rulers, for they repre-
sent national sentiments as far apart as the
earth and the sun. Twice the Gar has
passed through Germany lately without pay
ing his respects to the Emperor, thus show
ing degree of personal antagonisn which
in itself is sufficient cause for outbreak be-
fore long. Such a strain as this, which is
shared by the people, cannot long continue
without rupture.

ONLY ONE WAY.

We have received, with request for
careful perusal, a pamphlet written by
Rev. Samuel W. Dixie, Secretary of the
National Divorce Reform League, on
Uniform Legislation for Marriage and
Divorce" 1t sets forth, what has long
been recognized in these columns, the
necessity for uniformity, discusses at
length the obstacles in the way of Con-
stitutional amendment which will bring
the subject within the purview of national
legislation, and concludes by setting forth
THE direction which the effort has taken,
namely, the appointment of State COM
missions to confer with view to securing
uniform State legislation.
We can 60 with the National Divorce
Reform League to the extent of regard
ing this plan as a proper one for securing
adequate study of the question, and agita-
ton Of its Importance; but as for the hope
of securing uniformity in the marriage
and divorce legislation by separate State
action, it is futile dream. There always
will be wide diversity of opinion as to
what should be the legislation on these
subjects; but all will agree as to the scan-
dal and public injury of system under
which couple may be legally married in
one State and living in violation of the
Commandment in another, or by which a
man divorced in one State may commit
bigamy by marrying elsewhere. But so
long as the subject is left to independent
State action the different social conditions
of the various States will be reflected in
the different legislation which produces
these incongruities.
The Divorce Reform League is worthy
of encouragement in its effort to study
and improve upon present conditions; but
it should understand that there is but one
way of securing uniformity of legislation,
and that is to put the subject on which
uniform ity is desired in the control of a
single legislative power.

TRUE AND FALSE CHIyALRY.

The latest demonstration of ''Southron
chivalry,' a common fisticuff fight in a
stable between two scented scions of
bluest-blooded Blue Grass aristocratic
families-one of them a son of Congress
man Breckenridge-who adjourned for
the purpose in their dress suits from the
GovernorS reception ball at Lexington,
will suggest to the average Kentuckian or
Southron gentleman of the old school a
most lamentable degeneracy from the
''duei under the code" in the days "befoh
the wah, sir, when, by CAD, we did things
differently, by CAD" To the average
Northern-why not Northron- gentleman
it will merely suggest that after all per-
haps the best form of chivalry is that
which begins far enough back to obviate
the giving of offense

THE BRAZILIAN CONTEST.

The efforts of the representatives OF
Fonseca, and the organs of Brazilian alb.
solutism in the United States, to suppress
the uprising against usurpation so far as
publication of it is concerned meets with an
insuperable obstacle in the obstancy of the
Nationalists, who keep on capturing towns
and extending their opposition to the die
tatorship.
The advices from Buenos Ayres, which
is the nearest large city to Rio Grande do
Sui, give tolerably authentic information
that the Nationalist have taken Porto
Allegro, the capital of Rio Grande do Sui,
and are practically in complete possession
of that populous and important State.
The provisional organization of this move
ment is taking steps to extend it to other
States, while Fonseca is concentrating all
his forces to suppress it.
In the geographical division of the
movement, as well as in its political
aspects, this closely parallels the Chilean
struggle. The Southern provinces, being
those where the more temperate climate
produces more active and independent
social development than in the more trop-
ical regions, takes the leadership in forci-
bly, opposing the usurpations of military
dictator. Whether the same success will
attend the Brazilian contestants against
absolutism as the Chileans won is only to
be determined by the issue of the conflict.
But those who believe in the maintenance
of representative institutions will be glad
to recognize that gallant stand is being
made for that cause in Southern Brazil.

the buildings and machinery cost $3.50, 900,
with capacity of $4,000 pairs of boots
per week. and it has a working capital of
S1,00O,0OO which has been created by the
earnings and enterprise of cooperating
wOrkmen.
1t is evident that only few such sue
cesses as this are needed to shake the
dogma that workingmen cannot organize
to be their own employers 1t may remain
the case that the organization will require
the most careful guarding against negli-
gence or dishonesty in this direction; but
the fact that such success is within the
reach OF cooperation when properly organ
lied is an important one. The effect on
labor problems is readily perceived. An
Eastern journal says with reference to it
that "the capitalist per Sc disappears by
absorption into the workingman, but
another way of stating the same thing is
that the unattached or floating working
man disappears by becoming a small
capitalist and his own employer.
Certainly every such establishment as
the one at Leicester is an incitement to
the pursuit of the cooperative expert
ment in the hope of producing complete
solution Of the labor problem.

AFTER THE CONVENTION.

IF Cincinnati wants the Republican Ma
tional Convention she must give a bond
that the gas supply will not fail.-M Y. Press
SAN FRANCISCO is working for both nation
al conventions next year. 1t is supposed tc
be competing with the City of Mexico as the
only other place of equal Inconvenience
St Louis Republic.
THE Republican National Committee
should understand that there should be nc
toadying to Tammany by locating the
National nominating convention in New
York City.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
NEW YORK wants both of the national
Presidential conventions. She wanted the
Worlds Fair but didn't get it. Her younger
rivals are better "hustlers' when it comes
to grabbing for the plums.-Nev Hauen
NetDs
CHICAGO has the earth now, why should
she insist upon the wire fence. She has her
hands full with the Worlds Fair and the
decent thing under the circumstances is for
her to get out of Omaha's way for the Repub-
lican National Convention.-Omah0B Bee.
THE claims which Cincinnati makes for
the honor of having the next Republican
National Convention are naturally rein
forced by the splendid vote which the city
gave to the Republican candidates and the
noteworthy victory of Major Mckinley in
Ohio. Chicago is not SO importunate as
usual, but Minneapolis. with the aid of St.
Paul, is making a vigorous effort to secure
the convention.-BostOn Journal
In political point of view the metropolis
is the place of all places for the national
gathering of the Republican party. Her
newspapers are not only national but inter.
national in their circulation and influence,
and the Democratic ones are, under their
new policy, distinguished for the absolute
fairness and fullness of their reports Of
political gatherings irrespective of party.
New York is the place. No argument
worth considering Can be urged against it.

SUCCESSFUL Co-opERATIoN.

The discussion of pelation is gener-
ally limited by the assertion that industrial
cooperation, OF the organization of work
iEgmen to carry on manufacturing enter
prise, is sure OF failure This rather dog
matte view is based ON the belief that
intelligent and consistent direction of the
enterprise cannot be secured unless the
head is principally interested in its success.
For that reason proft-sharing which leaves
the management under such head has
received a more general Endorsement
This view is not entirely unfounded,
although it is worth while to notice that it
presents as valid an objection to industrial
enterprises in corporate form as to cooper
ative organization. But there are some
very striking instances to prove that the
rule is not universal In England working
men have given much attention to cooper
alton, and remarkable example of its
success is presented in the opening of the
mammoth boot and shoe factory at
Leicester. This factory covers six acres,
