The whisky trust is gradually
raising the price Of alcohol and
whisky and has actually bought
up a great portion of the two ar
ticles on the market that it had
previously sold to its customers.
There is no concealment of its
plans. It thinks it has sinch on
the democratic congress and the
next president, and that it will be
able, after it gets control Of all
the whisky in the country, to get
them to advance the tax on whisky
from 80 cents to $3.50 per gallon.
This would bring them a snug
profit on all the whisky in exist
ence at the time Of the passage of
the bill. They expect that the
new law will except from the tax
the whisky now in bond. There
are billions in it, and the trust
can well afford to divide literally
with the congress if it is found
necessary.-Journal.

CHICAGO socialists do not take
kindly to the recent gift of mil
lion and half by P. HI. Armour
for the endowment of a great in
dustrial institute. At meeting
of the new Question club, which
is composed chiefly of socialistic
agitators, Armour was soundly
berated as a robber and no better
than Jesse James. One of the
speakers before the club declared
that Armour steals, lawfully and
upon a magnificent scale, and has
become a millionaire merchant
prince, but his benefactions will
principally benefit the rich, since
the poor cannot avail themselves
of his college. This may in part
be true. But there are hundreds
of wage workers who desire to i'm
prove, to acquire a higher indus
trial education, and will avail
themselves of the institute and
cannot fail to profit by it. Mr..
Armour's methods of cornering
pork cannot be commended, but
that fact does not initiate against
his deeds cf benefcence for the
education of the working people
In mechanical arts.-Bee.

The charge Of wholesale poison
ing made against the labor organ
ization at Homestead, Pa, that
controls the Carnegie mills strik-
ers, is of so serious a nature that
public opinion should wait for the
evidence. The American people
will not believe that such an
atrocious spirit pervades any set
of respectable workingmen in the
republic. It is to be hoped that
the charges will not be sustained.
If they are, however, found to be
true, there will be reaction
against the wickedness that will
be powerful enough to crush out
the spirit of murder and insurrec-
ton as effectually as in the case of
the anarchists of the Haymarket
in Chicago few years since

The proposition of Mr.. Butler
to change the national flag by ar
ranging the stars in the blue field
in such a way as to represent a
white pansy, is unique; but it is
foolish. "Old Glory may not fill
the esthetic recesses of sensitive
souls like that of Mr.. Butler, but
for the ordinary plug of patriot,
who is willing to fight, bleed and
die for the honor and glory Of the
flag, it satisfies as nothing else
can do. If Mr.. Butler wants a
new flag he might adopt one for
himself; but the country still
clings to the stars and stripes, and
long may they wave!

The supreme court has rendered
a decision in the Clay county con-
test case which fully sustains the
views expressed by the Bee re-
garding the right of the Judiciary
to determine who is and who is
not entitled to seat in the legis-
lature. By declining to act in the
premises the court practically
denies its own jurisdiction, thus
clearly defining the boundary
between the judicial and legisla-
tive branches Of the government.
When the Clay county contest
reaches the Legislature that body
may find upon investigation that
the certificates have been wrongly
issued, but that fact is to be de-
termined only by the house in
which the contestants claim seats.

The clergymen who are saying
Gould was a thief could have
given proof of their courage had
they said so before he died. 1t
doesn't take much of man to say
that dead lion wore false teeth
but the accusation is seldom made
against the live animal. The
ministers are doubtless we'll mean
ing, but they have got into the
bad way Of waiting until after a
man dies and then calling him all
manner of good things OF all
manner Of bad things. It would
take great deal Of courage to say
as much either way about a live
man, but it might do some good.

The adoption of pneumatic post
al tubes in the larger cities of the
country, as recommended by the
postmaster general, ought to re-
ceive the attention of congress. 1t
is believed that the introduction
of these tubes would greatly ell
hance the economy, convenience
and efficiency of the postal service,
and if the experience of European
capitals is of any value the be-
lief is well founded. 1t is an i'm
provement clearly in the line of
progress and there is no good rea-
son for delaying it's adoption.

NEW YoRx. Sept. 22-The Herd!d's Al
bany correspondent says with reference to
Labor Commissioner Peck's case: The
reliance of the prosecution is on burned
fragments of paper taken from the fur
mace. Some Of the fragments are of the
exact color, texture and print OF the forms
sent out by Peck's bureau to collect infor-
nation for the tariff report. On some can
be distinctly read the names Of New York
and Brooklyn firms engaged in the WOODEN
and clothing business.
The nature of the evidence on which
the Indictment is found Is the same as told
In the dispatches on the night Peck
was arrested. Janitor Dennison told
again how, at the request of
photographer Rogers, he agreed
to make fire in the furnace and burn a
lot of papers they had stored in Peck $
bath room. The packages were wrapped
In manila paper and were marked with
numbers in blue pencil. The janitor had
no chance to scrutinize the papers, as
Rogers stood over him. Peck watched
closely while the papers were being re-
moved from the bath room. The janitor
alleges that Rogers said: 81 don't wan
any one to know about this. Do you think
It will be known" The janitor replied he
guessed not The janitor further said
that while the papers were in the bath
room Peck said to him: william, if any
one calls tell them I'm out" After all the
papers were in the furnace, and Rogers was
going upstairs, he said: IF anyone
comes now. it's all right, William. Mr..
Peck viii see them" Testimony of q
corroborative nature as to the color and
contents of the returns used in making up
Peck's reports were given by the clerks in
the labor bureau. Their description
of the blanks tally exactly with that given
by the janitor of those he destroyed. The
expressmans descriptions of the packages
he carried to Peck's room were also cor
xoborative.
