REPRESENTATIVE MCCALL, OF Massa-
chusetts, in a sarcastic minority report
of the house committee on elections
against the uuseating of Representa-
tive Funston, of Kans., hits the demo-
Gratis some singing blows for their par
tisanship in disposing of this and al
the other contested election cases. He
concludes with these words: "In such
cases a contest appears to be an idle a.
we'll as expensive formality. If a stand
ing rule were adopted that in all con-
tests appears to be idle as well as ex,
pensive formality. IL standing rule
were adopted that 10 all contests where
the plurality was less than 200 votes II
should be deemed insufficient unless tbs
contestee we're democrat, much time
might be saved, and useless expenditure
of money avoided, and, while the fund
amentsl principles OF the constitution
would be violated, precisely the same
practical results would be reached a
under the system prevailing during Tn,
present session, and we would have tn
advantage of being openly bad instead
of hypocritically bad"

The federal grand jury in Chicago
is after the "agitators" with q sharp
stick. In delivering his charge to the
jury Judge Grosscup said:
81 confess tie problems which are
made the occasion or preteXt for the
present disturbances have not received
the consideration they deserve. 1t is
our duty, as citizens, TO take them up,
and, by candid and courageous discus
sion, ascertain what wrongs exist, and
what remedies can be applied. But
neither the exietance of such problems
nor the neglect OF the public hitherto to
adj quately consider them, Justities the
violation OF the law or the bringing on
of general lawlessness. Let US first
restore peace and punish the offenders
of the law, aud then the atmosphere will
be clear 20 think over the claims of
those who have real grievances. First
vindicate the Law. Until that is done, no
other questions are in order"

CONGRESS may or may not take action
in connection with the railway strikes,
but it is certain that it will not pass
either the anarchist resolution introd dc-
ed by Senator Kyle at the dlctation Of
the strike leaders or the crazy bill intro
duced in the house by Representative
Boen, of Mimi, providing that mail
trains shall on interstate roads, where a
strike is in progress, consist solely OF d
locomotive and not more than two mail
cars. Such trucking to passion and
prejudice is unamerican and both Kyle
and Boen are disgrace to their con-
stituency and the country.

REPRESENTATIVE BABCcCK, of Wis,
chairman of the republican congression-
al campaign committee, is man who
never allows his wishes TO run away
with his judgment. He recognizes the
fact 50 long as the democrats have the
solid south to start with. aud no federal
election laws to hamter them, the repub-
licans have no walk-over in electing a
majority of the house, but be calculates
that by hard work the republican ma
jority of 20 in the next house will be cleo
ted outside of the solid south, although
they may hold their own on the Pacific
coast aud in the Rocky Mountain coun-
try. He takes no stock in the idea that
the populists will Increase. On the con-
trary, he calculates that the two popu-
lists from Colorado will be succeeded by
republicans and that Kansas will have
a solid republican delegation in the next
house.

Santa Cruz Valley. When h cane

run on the left bank of the rivor and
was tagged and pegged as far IS he
could see. Mr.. Ainsa is of the opinion
that working survey is being n ide as

Although we are in the haze u the
company making the survey, tn work
is most probably beng done 10y the

CHAIRMAN SAVERS, of the house COM
mittee on appropriations, says the ioiL
resolution extending the appropriations
of the last fiscal year until the first of
August was prepared at the treasury de-
partment because it was intended that
it should cover every kind Of expendi-
ture under the government and keep
everything gong just as it was until the
new appropriation bills could become
avs. Yet Secretary Herbert ordered
the suspension of hundreds of navy yard
employees, alleging that the joint reso-
luton would lot furnish the money to
pay them. IL there was political reas-
on for getting rid Of some of the navy
yard employees to make vacancies to be
utilized in the congressional campaign
the end might have been accomplished
In more manly way. What makes the
thing look all the worse for Secretary
Herbert is that the joint resolution is
identical in wording with the one that
was passed two years ago, under which
work was continued 10 the navy yards.

PRENDERGAsT HANGED.
CHICAGO, July Ii Within the gloomy
walls OF the Cock county Jail today all
was hustle and suppressed excitement
as the tine drew near when Patrick
Eugene Prendergast, convicted of the
murder of Mayor Garter Harrison, would
expitate his crime with his life.
Jaller Morris and his assistants made
a final test Of the rope, trap and trigger
at 1045 Jailer Morris said "as near as
you can Judge the march to the scaffold
Will begin at IL 80.
Prendergast rested well last night ard
seemed 10 be calm and co lected. He
refused, until late last night, TO receive
spiritual consolation, but when night
he e. fothor M,,llo01
Between six and seven o'clock Prem
dergsst ate heartily of ham and eggs
and about 9 o'clock sent word to Jsiler
Morris that he was again hungry. The
jailer had the prisoner served with
another hearty meal which he seemed
to relish greatly.
The assassin talked freely with his
spiritual advisor and several times
remarked "you must stay with me to the
end"
As the hour for the execution came
nearer Prendergast showed signs of
slightly increasing nervousness, but on
the whole he was remarkably calm and
well collected.
Prendergast was most deferential and
announced that he would die game and
set glorious example by his country.
He was a trifie pale and unsteady
when lead to the scaffold. Sheriff Gill
bert gently dissuaded him from making
speech. The trap was sprung and his
neck was broken.
He was hanged at 11:40
He was pronounced dead nine min
utes later.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, July 12-The assas-
sin spent the day very quietly. Rev.
Father Barry came to see him. Prem
dergast, when told that the priest was in
jail, said:
well, let him come in if he wishes to,
but 1 want it understood that l did not
send for him. II be wants to see me l
will receive him."
The priest talked to PIendergsst for
an hour. The assassin seemed in good
spirits and frequently smiled.
This afternoon Mrs. Prendergast, his
mother, came. There were tears in the

her son suit of underwear and a clean

II will see him after while for the

a shudder, and she sank into a chair
Later she entered the chamber of death
to take final leave of her son.
The scaffold was carried into the jail
and put in place this afternoon. Every
thing is ready for the execution tomor-

DRAWING To A CLOS :

The strike is rapidly approaching q
head and we have much hope tina few
DAYS more will SEE both freight ard pas
seuger trains running on schedL'- time.
THIS will be an undisguised bl -ssinR
not only to the community who have
been made the unwilling sufferer- IA a
controversy that has brought DC good
but to the men whose prosperity has
been ieopsrdized by enforced -" -ess
that has been thrust upon them.
In review of the situation tn San
Francisco Bulletin voices the sentiment
OF the country in a paragraph w CT in it
says:
There is no question of the riEht OF
the railroad employees to refuse t work
If the terms do not suit then. they
have as much RICH to combine In that
case as the corporations which al gaon-
ize them. 1t is also their right . use
all the powers of persuasion to induce
others pot to take their places. Bat at
this point the line has to be drawn.
When the law is set at defiance 4 ques-
ton at once arises which swallows up
all others. 1t is the question q Crder'
sptly said to be "heaven's first law"
The merits or dement's of the original
controversy, whatever they may IL, dis
appear when this stage is reached. If
disorder is permitted we fall into state
anarchy il which every right is imper-
lied.
This feeling is general and pu,lc IN
clination as result of violence and a
prolonged struggle, is to pull away from
the agitation, Support the enfcrca ment
of the Law and thus suppress ltwless-
ness that has run rife from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast. Much of this law
lessness has arisen from a vicious and
criminal element that is in no wise con-
nected with and has no sympathy With
struggling labor, but who cloak them
selves under its good name for the pur-
pose of plumber and pillage. In times
Of excitement like the present it il i'm
possible to disassociate one with the
other and however unmerited the Cdlum
the active principles of the labor cause
must bear the odium thrust upon them
BY men who know no law other than
their own evil passions. 1t will. how
ever, when quiet has again been ra-tored,
be the duty of the law to ferret Gus and
bring to punishment the criminals who
have spared neither life Dor pr perty.
Tnst the labor organizations viii 'arge-
ly aid in bringing these malefacl"fs to
justice we have the profoundest fifth.

as being "better than a sympathetic

DO YOU BELIEVE 1T.

Senator J. P. Jones says: "The tariff
has protected our people against the
competition of underpaid and underfed
workmen of foreign countries. The
condition OF those people is such that no
friend Of humanity can wish to see it
duplicated in this continent. The tariff
has operated to bar out from competi-
ton with our people the peoples OF those
countries that is precisely what tariff
properly adjusted should do and is
intended to do At the same timeit has
kept the people of our own country busy
in their shops and laboratories, working
investigating, inventing. The dicipline
and traing thus received by virtue of the
protective policy of the country has a
class of workmen, the like of which has
never been seen in the history of the world
The industries which have been most
highly protected ID this country are those
in which not only the greatest improve
ments have been affected, but the great
est reductions OF price have taken place.
"Such reductions, however. are not
those that result from the cheapenlng of
men or the crushing out of humanity.
They are the result OF the cheapening
of methods by regardless sacrifice to be
expended in production. The truth of
this is evident, from the fact that wages
have not only not declined, but have
risen. By means Of modern Invention
for most part the work of Americans
even the servant girl is able, with her
American wages, 20 wear better clothes,
eat better food and enjoy more of all
the comforts of life, than could Queen
Elizabeth have done with the income of
a monarch and all the resources of her
time" Such are the sentiments Of the
Hoe. j. P. Jones, as expressed in The
senate of the United States; and that
it Is an honest opinion, honestly express
sad, no one doubts, and it is correct.
