The Phillips Bill.

The House at Washington, Friday got
around to consideration OF bills from the
Labor Committee, Representative Phil
1ips's Industrial Commission bill being
taken up first and occupying the atten-
ton of the House throughout the session.
As there was only time for two speeches
on the measure, that of Mr.. Phillips and
of Mr.. Low, of New York, the order for
providing for a vote was changed and
the two days were given to the Phillips
bill. The bill provides for the appoint
ment by the President of a non-partisan
comm.s .ssion of 2I, seven representatives
each from labor, agriculture and business,
to co1late information and consider and
recommend legislation to meet the prob
lems presented by labor, agriculture and
capital.
Mr.. Phillips said in part: "This calls
attention to the fundamental principles
of our government-the equality of men,
and seeks more equitable distribution
of the burdens and benefits of our free
government. While it is not the function
Of the State to guarantee individual hap
piness, it is its function to guarantee
each individual the right to pursue hap
piness, and so enacts law that one class
may not be compelled of necessity to
work solely for another class, regardless
of their personal comfort and improve
ment This nation took the most advanc-
ed stand in civilization, and is the best
prepared to meet the industrial issue of
today by building on the foundation it
laid more than 100 years ago by con-
forming law to its declared principles of
right, freedom and equality; ard thus
organize our social and industrial system
upon a more Just and equitable basis than
has yet been obtained in the world.
''The commission provided for by the
bill designed give an impartial hearing
to those who complain of discriminating
laws and unequal burdens. Ii is expect
ed that it will be composed of the ablest
and best of each class named. The COM
mission will bring into confidence repre-
sentative men of labor, agriculture, man.
ufacturing aud business; thus bringing
the aggrieved and those against whom
the grievance is made together, whose
duty will be to consider the disturbing
causes and recommend laws looking to-
ward more Just distributation of the
burdens and benefits of our free govern
ment. 1t is designed to the impartial
non-partisan, seeking exact facts and
conditions, and to conform legislation to
the foundation principles of our govern
ment; to place all men ON an equal foot
ing before the law.
philanthropy is one of the noblest
traits of man, but it should be expended
in teaching, in lifting up the race, in
caring for the disabled, the suffering and
the helpless. All that others require is
an equal chance in the race of life with
none to hinder and none to handicap.
They require justice, not charity.

CYCLONES and cloud bursts killed and
drowned some two hundred people in a
range of territory from Indian Territory
to Michigan, Monday. A witness OF the
storm in Iowa says the approaching cloud
looked like an inverted beer bottle, and
dipped down at Va1eria with appalling
suddenness and frightful effect, wrecklng
oak trees two feet in diameter, or pull
ing them out by the roots as If they were
weeds. The district travelled by the
storm IS very fertile. 1t is settled with
well-to-do farmers and villagers. TIM
Der and dead stock are strewn over the
path of the storm in all directions.
A terrible spectacle was presented In
one demolished house i'll Valera. Six
members of family named Fa1lous,
father and five children, were found
lying dead among the wreckage III one
room.
The storm was accompanied by deaf
ening roar, deluge of rain and hail.
Its track was from a quarter to hall
mile in width. A great amount OF 1--we
stock was killed and the corps IN the
path of the storm utterly destroyed.
It's first appearance at Thomas station,
Michigan was from the southwest in the
| form of a densely black funnel-shaped
| cloud, moving with almost incredible
swiftness, and seeming to take long steps.
It seemed to have the elasticity of gigan-
tic rubber ball, and would strike the
ground, then, leaving a foot print OF
devastation, bound into the air and travel
mile or more before again touching the
earth.
At Mt. Clemens the cyclone was accom-
panied by heavy rain. Some 80 houses
on Front, Butler and Inches streets were
| blown down and many of them torn to
pieces. The home of widow with
| three small boys, was blown down on
their heads, and the four members of the
family were pinioned in the wreckage
and fatally injured.
The town of Oakwood was entirely
wiped off the earth, destroying all the
buildings and leaving death and destruc-
ton in its trail. lust west of the village
| the fields are strewn with dead and
| wounded.

THE best political cartoon that has ap-
peared for some time is that of prodlgal
son Quays meeting with father McKin-
ley, the fatted calf "spoils" chained to a
post, and the quotation, 81 will arise and
go unto my father, and say unto him,
Father, have sinned against Heaven
and before thee, and am no more worthy
to be called thy son. Make me as one OF
thy hired servants. -

NEW YORK. May 15.-R G. Dun & Co.'S

prevails two months longer, it viii crowd
into the last half of the year an enormous
business, if the outlook then is good. For
the present there is less business the
whole than a year ago, though in some
branches more, and the delay following
months of depression is to many trying and
causes numerous failures.

quests to anticipate orders for June and July

sumers has much outrun expectations. The iron

nounced to be dull it mas ever been in its

Slight Upward Tendency Is Noted on
the Covering OF Short Contrncts.

NEW YORK, May 15-Bradstreet's Financial
Review tomorrow Will say: Speculative activity
has almost ceased. The trading in stocks has
been confined to the four walls of the board
room, and involves only the smaller class of
professional operators. The fluctuations have con
sequently been unimportant. and there has been
no exhibition Of any decided tendency or features
OF special interest. The somewhat exaggerated
fears Of a possible rupture with Spain over the
condemnation of some American prisoners in
Cuba died out after producing a slight bearish
impression and SO far as the market can be
said to have displayed any tendency during the
latter part Of the week, It has ON the whole
improved slightly. mainly the covering Of
short contracts. The continued shipment of gold
to Germany special orders of course attracts
attention. The total taken out OF the treasury
and sent out this week was si,Oj0O0O. The move
ment, while calculated to check stock market
activity, does not. however, seem to have any
a certain extent by the symptoms that London
continues TO exhibit signs OF taking a more
active interest In the American market. pro-
vidsd It Is satisfied the coming election win re-
suit IN the supremacy of sound money ideas A
factor Of some Importance has been the crop
situation. The government crop report for May
10 was more favorable than was expected. aud
the fact that there have been beneficial rains
in sections where they needed has also
tended to create further bullish sentiment under
this head
