RIGHT MAN. RIGHT PLACE.

President CLEVELAND sent to the
senate yesterday the name of WILLIAM
LoCHREN to be commissioner of pen
SiOnS. The country more than Mr.
LoCHREN is to be congratulated. For
him it means the surrender of congenial
employment in position which Is vir-
tually for life for one which is tempo
rary, which involves arduous labor, the
creation of enmities, the counting of
unpopularity, with only the compensa-
tons which come from the honest, con-
scientiOus performance of high public
duty, the fulfillment of public trust.
The president is to be congratulated
on his good fortune in finding man so
well equipped who would take the
place. The careful search. the deter
minatiOn to find the right man, will only
confirm the opinion the country has al
ready formed of MIR. CLEVELAND's i'm
plicit conviction that his Office is trust
which he intends to execute faithfully.
Mr.. CLEVELAND's experience during
his first administration made him famil-
lar with the qualities needed in the man
to whom he would cOnfide the duties of
this place. He had experienced the
pressure the incumbent is subjected to,
the strong appeals to sympathy. the i'm
pulse to treat pensions as charities at
the bestowal of the commissioner in
stead of gifts by the nation in cases
whose limitations are defined by law.
He wanted a man who could be just and
say no to claimants without the law.
He has found him. de is fortunate.
The eX-sOldier who served because he
felt that life brought him no higher or
more sacred duty than is the derense of
country is to be congratulated. No one
has felt so keenly as these the disgrace
which the professional old soldiers have
brought to a term that should bring
honor to the wearer; brought entirely
through their rapaciouS raids on the
treasury under cover of the generosity
of the nation. The pension lists Will be
weeded of the malingerers and frauds
who have clouded it, and the roll will
become what it should always have
been, roll of soldierly honor.
But more than all is the country to be
congratulated. The scandals which
have bred with the fecundity of bacilIi
in that bureau will cease. Justice will
replace fayoritism; impartiality will
drive out partisanship; gush will give
way to law; and fraud, perjury and job
berry will no longer attend with un
abashed front the progress of pension
claims through that Office. Economy
will take the place of prOfigacy, and
the menace of the appropriations for
pensions will no longer prevent needed
reforms in taxation. The country is the
gamer from Judge LOCHREN's sacrifice.

USELESS oFFICE-MAKING.

The oil inspection bill has passed the
house general orders and goes to the
calendar. 1t is probable that it will
pass, because it creates lot more offices
to be filled with hustlers. Because too,
it will reinstate what was rich source
of supply for the campaign fund. 1t
used to furnish several thousand dollars
to that fund, besides being the source of
presents to la madame, the governor
wife.
1t has no other purpose. 1t is as ut
terly useless an Office as could be created.
1t will only add to the burdens of the
people by increasing the cost Of their
evening lamp light. 1t will be the
source of scandals again, as it was when
in full bloom.
After the legislature and the supreme
court had taken all the fat out of the Of
flee and left it so lean that even SAM
NICHOLS wouldn't touch it, we had a
couple of years in which we had no in
spection. The quality OF oil was just
as good, or better; there were no eXplo-
sions from impure oils, and the cost Of oil
was materially decreased to the con-
sumers.
There is no need of inspection. The
qualities which made the oil explosive
are now removed, and have become q

THE COAL COMBINE.

Browns Valley Foot Prints
The smashing up of the enormous
coal combine which now is the promi-
nent topic of the press, can not be too
closely followed up. The widespread
conspiracy to rob the consumers i'll the
price of this needed article has without
question or doubt been proven, and now
remains the question of what can be
done. Although the Sherman antitrust
law has been grossly violated and pun
iShment for its violation can be inflicted
upon those who are now III the tolls, it
will affect only few and do no good as
far as helping prices for '94, and the coal
season of 1913 is over If those now I'M
plicated are punished there are still
plenty of INSCRIPTIONS persons ready to
take up the cudgel of law violation, in
spite of courts or punishment and be-
fore coal is needed for the next years
consumption, the trust will be III full
blast and we will still allow ourselves
to be robbed in this wholesale manner.
The single action of any legislature
will never reach tine desired end. 1t is
not alone in Minnesota that this outrage
exists, but all over the United States,
and to do away with it will take the
united effort of every state in the Union.
Let congress have a finger in the pie,
and with the united support of the sew
eral legislative bodies we may look for
better prices ana the collapse of the
trust, and not till then.

UNIFORM INSPECTION
Between States in Case OF a
Cholera Epidemic Adopted
by the Conference.
Stringent Rules Passed to Confine
the Disease to as Small Linn
its as Possible.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The national
conference Of state boards Of health was
continued today with the discussion Of
possible plans for securing uniform
system of interstate inspection to be
adopted in case of an epidemic Of ch0l-
era this summer. President Mccormick
appointed new committee to try and
devise new plan to cover this very i'm
portant point. The new committee is
composed of Drs. Victor Vaughan.
John H. Rauch, e. p. La Chappelle,
E. L. Patton and DR.. Atkinson. The
committee appointed yesterday bad
failed to agree upon any practicable
plan of interstate Inspection, and DIR.
Lindsey, who opened debate, expressed
the view that 10 such plan was posi-
bic. The report of the second commit
tee appointed to devise plan for uni
form Interstate inspection in case of a
cholera epidemic was made at tonlghts
meeting of the conference, and, after
undergoing another scathing review at
the hands of DIR. Hewitt, was finally
passed, after being somewhat amended.
The system of rules adopted provides
that in case of an epidemic OF cholera
no infected person shall be allowed to
leave on the trains. During such period
of Infection ii is also provided that d
medical Inspector shall leave with each
of the outgoing trains. 1t shall be his
duty to look after the sanitary condition
OF the train, see to the dlSlnfec-
ton of the water closets, and
In case of any symptoms OF
disease being developed enroute, pro-
vide for the isolation of the suspect in
single car. In cases of actual disease
the car shall be Isolated at some way
station and this inspector will be pro-
Vided with list of the names of the
physicians along the route, and also be
required to send a list of all other pas
sengerS on such train ahead to their
destination. Special cars are also to be
provided for all passengers leaving an
infected district. In cases where there
are no local boards of health, the train
medical inspectors will be appointed by
the marine hospital service. According
to the resolutions, ordinary nerchan-
disc, and even mails. do not require dis
infection. In the case of baggage, how
ever, and articles of wearing apparel, it
is provided that they shall he thorough
ly diSinfected and card put in them
stating where they were so disinfected
and what methods were used.
Similar rules are to be formulated
covering lake, river and other means of
transportation. An amendment was
added to the resolutions requiring rail-
road companies to provide system Of
disinfecting train water closets that
will be satisfactory to the state boards
of health having jurisdiction in the
case. The delegates will visit quaran-
tine tomorrow, leaving Battery wharf
at 10 in the morning OH the steamer
John f, Moore. In caseethe delegates
get back in time an evening session of
the conference will perhaps be held.

BROWNS ELEVATOR BILL

By vote of twenty-five to twenty
four the senate sent to an honorable
death the only bill, as Senator SANBoRN
said, which furnished the true solution
of the veXed grain market question. 1t
was drawn on precisely opposite lines
to the bill known as 1.-THE governors"
1t interfered with no mans rights; de-
prived no man of the liberty of trade.
1t simply struck at the root of the evil
which has resulted from the abdication
BY the railroads of primary function.
In marked contrast, but true to the
paternal instincts of Republieanism, is
the governors BILL" That perpetu-
Rtes the source Of all the evils, and ag-
gravates them by reaching out the arm
of the state to interfere with the bust
ness of any and every man who is en-
gagged in Or who may engage in the
business of grain buying. It "regu-
lates' him; subjects him to the super
vision and control of men no better

fallible than he. The simple fact that

TOPEKA. Kan, April 6--Much prop
erty has been destroyed by prairie fires
in Graham and Phillips counties. Only
meager particulars can be learned. 1t
is known, however, that a great deal
of hay, several head of horses
and about fifty head of sheep per-
ished, and that Mrs. Bowen and
three children were caught in the
flames and so badly burned that they
cannot possibly recover. A strong
south wind has been blowing over
Western Kansas for two DAYS, and the
dry grass is very heavy and thick.
Everything between these two great
fires Succumbs TO their raVages. Passen-
gers who came i'll on the Rock Island say
that the entire heavens were lighted

all of Grant and the northern part
of Arthur counties. The wind was
first from the northwest, which car
ried it to the south. Then it
changed from the south. and

speed, driving before it cattle. horses
and stock of various kinds and leaving
in its wake dire destruction. Crowd

out and fought it, but all to no purpose.
All the range and most of the hay will
be destroyed, and if April storms should
prevail the stock will die in droves and

The militia will neither diSband nor

as to what to do. Gov. Jones' warmest
partisans now condemn him for his
course in the matter. 1t is said that
great many of his men have gone

gone too far. This accounts for the
messages sent yesterday forenoon. Mr..
Locke is still within his fort with all
the men he wants. They are true as

expected to leave Atoka TO join the

DETROIT, April Cat the meeting of
vessel men today to discuss the rafting
of logs on the lakes. Congressman Wea-
dock, of Bay City, was present, as were
also delegates from the Lake Carriers
association, headed by President Mack
and Secretary Keep, of Cleveland. Gen.
r.. A. Alger, of this city, and Capt.
Reed and Lauder, the two latter of Bay
City, were among the lumber shippers
present. The latter held that the RATS
were not nuisance, that they had as
much right TO the water as the vessel
men, and that the amount of damage
done by RATS to the vessels was
merely nominal. On the other hand
the captains of vessels recited acct
dents and heavy damages done by RATS.
After a long discussion it was decided
that Secretary Keep should have a
month to brief setting forth in detail
the grievances of the vessel men, and
the extent to which their interests are
damaged by raft towing. To this the
rafters will make reply. These dOcu-
ments are to be submitted TO the board
in time to permit the latter to report be-
fore the meeting of congress.
