fix the price of a necessity of life at an
arbitrary figure, the people of the
United States will eventually and right
fully do one of two things" said Mr.
Dawes.
"They will enact legislation for the
absolute protection of the people from
extortion by governmental regulation
more or less extended as public necessi-
ties may require, or they will enact leg
islation for the enforced creation of
competition by the disintegration of
trusts. With nothing less than one of
these two things will or should the
people of this country be satisfied"
Mr.. Dawes spoke at some length on
the Philippine situation, asserting that
encouragement received from anti-im-
perialists had much to do with the pro-
longation of the war. He said Presi-
dent Mckinley would refuse to be
turned from his course in regard to the
Philippines bv the protests Of antrim
perialists.

Factory in New York Burns

NEW YORK HYGEIA co.
A HEAVY LOSER
Many Firemen Have Narrow ES-

Falling Walls

New York, Dec. 29.-The two seven
story buildings at Nos. 425 to 431 East
24th street, occupied principally by the
wall paper factory of VIM. Campbell &
Co, We're destroyed by fire tonight.
Loss is fully 100000. The plant of the
New York Hygeia Ice company, which
occupied the basement of No. 425, and
that of the Manhattan Electric Light
company, on the first and second floors
Of the same buildings, were totally de-
stroyed. A large portion of the east
side gets it's lights from that company
and was on account of the fire cast into
complete darkness.
The Campbell company employed 400
hands who will be thrown out of work.
The two buildings destroyed occupied
a frontage Of 200 feet on oath street
the entire avenue A frontage to 25th
street and 15 feet on the latter street
The glare from the fire illuminated the
east side OF the city as far down as
the Brooklyn bridge.
Patrick Cannon, the night Waterman
in the buildings. discovered the fire on
the first floor at 1918 o'clock. He said
il was then burning fiercely and
spreading with great rapidity on ac-
count of the inflammable nature of the
stock-mostly paper and paper prod
ucts.
FIVE ALARMS.
Five alarms were turned in bringing
to the scene % engines, 10 hook and lad

efed the entire west side of the factory
was a roaring furnace The flames shot
from the windows on all the floors and
out over Avenue "A. There were no large
ouldlngs close enough to catch and the
flremen were able by hard work to keep
the names confined to the Campbell
buildings
Three hook and ladder men. Andrew
Degnay, Joseph Shaughnessy and los
eph Messenger, were caught on the
sixth floor and escaped with great diff
Guilty. All were severely burned.
Shaughnessy and Messenger were sent
to Bellevue hospital Two other hook
and ladder men were caught on one of
the high window lodges, with the flames
roaring all around Them and the dense
smoke making them almost impercept-

one of the men, Lee Potter was very
severely burned and was sent to Belle

At midnight one section of the walls
fell, almost burying number of fire
men, whose escape was miraculous, and
injuring several of the men. The falling
walls crushed in the roof Of the water
supply house adjoining, and the citys
loss will be heavy. The cause of the fire
is unknown. 1t is impossible to ascer-
tain the individual losses Of the New
York Hygeia Co., and the Manhattan
| Electric Co., as apart from that of VIM.
Campbell & Co. The properties of all
three firms are destroyed beyond hope
of saving a dollars worth. The losses
are partly covered by insurance. The

heavy loser by fire eight years ago,
when its plant on West AID street was

JUDGE GARLAND of Omaha has for
hidden the newspapers to publish the
testimony in or comments of any sort
upon the trial of Frank M. Dorsey, a
defaultipg bank cashier. Such cases
are becoming entirely too frequent.
This judge makes an order. To disobey
means to be in contempt of court. The
punishment is entirely in the hands of
the judge; it may be fine or imprison-
ment or both. The practice is vicious
because it is too often abused. We be-
lieve that newspaper has perfect
right to publish the testimony given in
court of law. If the courts are going
to make common occurrence of the
muzzling process the sooner the ques-
ton is brought to an issue the better.
We are not living in Russia.

IN the controversy over the second
ward school matter, our opinion Is that
what we would like to have should
give way to what we must have. We
believe this city is big enough to need
q good high school. We believe that
thorough high school education is
legitimate and necessary branch of the
free public school system. But the
grades below the high school must take
precedence. It is apparent that thirty
thousand dollars will not both build
high school and provide for five years
growth in the lower grades. That be-
ing the case, let US build new and re.
pair and refit and enlarge so as to &C.
cOmmodate all the lower grades, and
then begin to think about fine high
school for the next step.

evidence, in the state of New York,
