Canal RiyaIries.

THe isthTniaE canal problem takes on

company, which is said 10 have been made

the canal as II stands. with all the rights.

are committed to the Nicaragua route
which IS regarded by most engineer day

than that which can be maintained by the
ordinary police force. While the commun-
ity is waiting for its emancipation from the
grade crossings it would welcome the in
auguration of some process whereby it
could be assured from time to time that the
railroad companies are not only obeying the
letter of the law. but are exercising
proper degree of diligence to prevent acci-
dents outside of the mere regulations. 1t
would be entirely equitable for the rail-
roads entering the city to be assessed
certain amount of money to pay for such Il
system of inspection. The street railroads
are similarly taxed to pay for the station
ing at certain places of special policemen
who are given control over the street iE-
tersectfons rendered dangerous by the
crossing of rapid transit tracks. With the
same justice the community could look to
the steam railroads to pay for a process Of
systematic scrutiny. Through the employ
ment by the District Of few men versed
in the details of mechanical construction
and in the requirements of the railroads as

the corporations such as the Ivy City trag-

Governor Tanner Defiant.

Governor Tanner defies the law declares
that he will ignore the Indictment returned
against him by the Macoupiu county grand
jury and promises that he will kick out of
his office any process server who attempts
to carry out the legal routine. This is a
bold position to assume, and in the absence
of specific Information concerning the state
laws relative to a governors personal i'm
H.unity from arrest. it is to be assumed
that Governor Tanner is acting advsedly
in thus belittling the indictment. He as
serts that the affair is political plot con-
trived by the democrats, seventeen of
whom were on the grand jury to five re-
publicans and prohibitionists. This is a
poor answer to the formal indictment. The
country generally had indicted Governor
Tanner for dereliction OF duty long before
the Macoupln county fury began its in
qury. Fair-minded citizens of Illinois and
of every other state IN the Union recog-
nized In his failure to act in the first place
and in his incendiary utterances after the
shooting the signs of maladministration
and condemned the man and his acts and
words. There was no politics IN this sweep
of public sentiment. no conspiracy on the
part of the public.
1t will be interesting ard important to
ascertain just what are the laws Of Illinois
regarding the Indictment of a governor
Governor Tanner, of course, is not charged
in his personal capacity in this case, but
as an executive officer. Under some cir
CT instances the process of Impeachment
by legislature would probably be a more
direct and proper method Of Furnishing him
for malfeGsauce i'll Office. But the county
grand jury having jurisdiction over the
crime and its causes is meanwhile entitled
to lay the blame for the TRAGEDY upon the
persons whom it deems guilty OF positive
or negative acts coHtribJItoTy 10 the result
This furv has decided that Governor Tan
rer in his reprcser tative capacity is guilty
of a neglect OF a plain duty. thereby aiding
In the creation of auarchical conditions at
Virden. The jury is clearly within its
rights when it thus associates tho governor
with the head Of the coal company and the
leading strikers. They Were all guilty of
offenses against law and order and the jury
cannot well discriminate between indiyid-
uals or recognize official distinctions.
Governor Tanner will sadly if he in
sists upon his program Of resisting the in
dictment by forcib1e means If his con-
science is as clear he claims it is. and If
his case will stand the scrutiny which he
invites, ne nisht b-tteF SUBMIT 10 the ordl-
nary process of the courts. yield his record
to consideration by jury and seek his
yindication at the same bar where the
others who are jointly charged with him
must stand in their answers 70 the indict-
ment. He will lose nothing by such a
course. but, on the other hand will per-
haps retain the respect of some whose
sympathies ne is now alternating by his
braggadocio about kicking the sheriff out
of his office.
