THE ANT1-R1TuAL1sr MOVEMENT

The temperance Of Mr.. John Kensit as
an actor in the prevailing church contro-
versy in England will doubtless result in
infiaming the respective partisans with
even more bitterness than they have al
ready shown.
1t will be remembered that the prevail
ing controversy received its first great
impetus through Mr.. Kensit. He was
but an unknown book seller when he en-
gagged himself in battling against what
some choose to speak of as the movement
toward Rome among many English Epis-
copal clergymen. But his action succeed
ed in bringing the subject into the fore
ground Of questions which are be-
ing discussed by the British public. So
intense has the public feeling on this
score become that 1t Is almost univer-

take his stand with the anti-ritualists.
notwithstanding that such an attitude by
leading Liberal politician was sure to
result in the loss of considerable por-
ton Of the party following. His example
has not on either side as yet been followed
by any other equally prominent public
man. Indeed, the issue is being scdulous-
ly avoided by leading politicians The
consideration of it Is confined to the
masses; and, If the existing intensity of
feeling is to prevail. 1t must inevitably
involve the leaders of popular sentiment
as well as the populace themselves.
1t is too early to indulge IN predictions
regarding the ultimate outcome of the
condition of feeling which finds such ex-
traordinary expression from time to time
as that Indicated by the last display of
Mr.. Kensit But that the most inpor-
tant and far reaching consequences will
flow from it In the immediate future there
can be no question whatever. The ac
ton Of their lordships yesterday in adj
jGurning for luncheon without regard to
Mr.. Kenslt will no doubt inf1ame the
controversy. 1t certainly will not result
in any dampening of the ardor Of Ken
sit or of those who agree with him.

yond remedy unit.
A public journal must necessarily hes
itate in expressing certain of the objec-
tions which VIGOROUSLY exist to this Sc
lection. Above all other objections it Is
inaccessible to the people of the great
part of the city. Its surroundings are
such that no decent woman would risk
while the price set, we believe. Is absurd.
The property involved can at any time be
had for less than half the sum-
We believe the Jackson street site is
the best site of those mentioned. 1t is
convenient and central in location. The
property may be had at reasonable fig
ureS and there is no substantial objec-
ton to it on any score of location or sur

desire to emphasize. 1t Is that the Eagle
street location Is utterly unfit. 1t would
be really an insult to public taste to
make such selection. If the city is to
go In for fumigating that locality, let it
go about the task In some other way and
at somewhat less expense. 1t may be
possible to remove from there those who
infest the locality. 1t certainly will not
be possible to induce the housewives OF
st. Paul to visit the vicinity.
Let the council adopt whatever other
site it pleases. 1t has a way of doing
what it -pleases anyway. But let that
body save the decent women of st. Paul
who desire to do their own marketing
from being obliged to go into that sub
merged neighborhood

ABOVE AND BEYOND THE LAW.

Trust creation goes on apace. The
featuring industry are uniting that mad
not already entered a trust Within
short time, if anything like the present
progress is maintained. 1t will be sur
prising to find a healthy, profitable and
extensive manufacturing concern which
is not embraced in a trust organization.
The two latest enterprises to develop
into trust organizations are the Touring
Industries of the lake cities outside Of
Minneapolis and the plow manufacturing
concerns. The former are capitalized for
$40, 900, the latter for $G5, OOO,OOO
1t is in the existence of the new flour
combine that the people of this section
and of the cities of the country are the
more deeply interested of the two combi-
nations 1t has, as the public knows. been
in process Of exploitation for some time
past. There has been no secret about
its operations. Mr.. Mcintyre, it's elected
secretary. openly avowed his purpose
Incorporation of the Minneapolis mills in
his organization. For some unknown
reason he failed in this undertaking. So
that Instead of one there are, nomiuaily
at least, now two combines in ex-
istenee for controlling the price to con-
sumers of the leading necessary of life.
Recalling Attorney General Briggs re-
cent opinion as to the lack Of federal
jurisdiction over such combinations, the
question recurs as to the utility OF anti
trust state legislation in meeting such
conditions as organizations of this kind
represent There is no uniformity In
such regulations. Nor does there appear
to be a particle of efficacy. In our in
dustrial life we are confronted by a con-
dition which is concededly destructive of
the Industrial freedom Of our people, and
which is, for all practical purposes, above
and beyond the law.
A very sensible suggestion has recently
come up from the South in this behalf
It Is that the governors of the various
Southern states shall unite in move
ment to secure uniform legislation
against the trusts and shall cooperate
in the enforcement of such laws. From
this movement some good may come. We
cannot overlook the fact, however, that
the movement for the formation Of trusts
keeps on with giant strides, and that
each day but adds to the difficulty of
establishing any aquedate system for
their control or regulation.

ton through the city council for the
suitable observance Of Memorial day,
the ST. Paul charter preeludes any such

city are compelled to rely entirely upon
their own resources and what money Is
contributed by the loyal citizens of the
municipality, in meeting the expense in
cident to such an observance. The COM
mittee were instructed to visit those feel
ing themselves able to contribute towards
the expense Of the days ceremonies. 1t

TRAILED TO PERU.
AbscOnding Assessor Captured In
the Capital of PizarrO's Glory.

the Capital of PtZ0rrO's Glory.
Samuel M. Findley, the absconding tax
collector of San Luis Obispo county, Cali
forn1a, was oVertaken in his flight at
Lima, Peru, by Assistant Superintendent
John c. Fraser, of the Denver office of
Pinkerton's National Detective agency,
who caused his arrest May 8. Findley
will be taken back to California for trial.
This was the pufport of cablegram re-
ceived from Detective Fraser by the Chi
cagO office Of the Pinkerton agency.
For many years Samuel NJ. Findley was
trusted employee of the treasury depart
ment at Washington. A few years ago
he moved to San Luis Obispo county,
California, and was appointed tax col
lector in December, 1897.
He was last seen in San Luis Obispo
about Nov. 10. After he had absented
himself for several days an examination
OF his books was made, revealing a
shortage Of about $4,000
Findley was bonded in the Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland and his
case was placed In the hands of the San
Francisco branch of the Pinkerton
agency about Dec 1. They also issued a
circular Offering a large reward for the
arrest of Findley. Investigation in Cali
fornia seemed to indicate that Findley
had started for Mexico. Early in Deem
Der a small box containing Ftndley's keys
to the safe and Office were received by
the deputy collector in San Luis Obispo.
This package passed through Juarez,
Mexico, across the line from FL Paso, and
at that point Detective Fraser took UP
the trail. He learned that the box con-
tanning the keys was sent from the City
Of Mexico, and, with the box. wrapper and
string with which 1t was tied as clew,
proceeded to that city, where, after
search lasting several days, he located q
gents furnishing goods store at which
the box was procured. Findley's photo
was identified by the clerk as of the man
to whom he gave the box. At the same
place Findley purchased q supply Of light
underwear, indicating that he was going
to warmer climate. Further investiga-
ton showed that on Nov. "a Findley reg
istered at an obscure hotel as William
Miller and that he left there on Nov. %,
going in the direction of Puebla. The
trail led to Vera Cruz. Coatzacoalcos,
ter place he further prepared himself for
hot weather by having three suits of light
clothing made. Dec. "a he sailed on the
Costa Rica for Panama, where he arrived
Jan. II" He was now known as J. F.
Miller, wealthy American, en- route to
South America in search of an invest
ment for his capital He was a good
fellow" and spent his money freely.
Detective Fraser left Salina Cruz Jan.
Is, just a month later than Findley, and
nothing was heard from him until he
cabled from Lima that Findley was there.
His arrest was then brought about by
having the governor Of California request
the secretary Of state to instruct the
United States consul at Lima to swear out
q warrant for Ffndley's arrest. -
