The Industrial Commission.

The proceedings before the Industrial
Commission have lately been of local
interest.
The Commission was created at the
instance of Thomas W. Phillips, when
he represented this district in Congress,
and Mr.. Phillips is its Chairman.
Sometime ago Mr.. Lockwood, OF
Zelienople, appeared before the Commits
sion and read a paper in which ne
scored the railroad companies for help
ing to build up the Standard Oil Co., by
giving it rebates or better freight rates
than it gave the other oil companies.
Then two of the principal officers OF
the Standard testified that the Pure Oil
Co., of which Mr. Phillips is member,
is Just as much of trust" as the
Standard Oil Co., and Mr.. Phillips had
to acknowledge that the Pure Oil Co.,
is voting trust, organized to prevent
the Standard from securing possession
of their pipe line by buying their stock,
as it came near doing through Col.
Carter. The Standard men also assert
ed that Mr.. Phillips had attempted to
secure a combination with them, which
he also acknowledged as happening
after or during the Carter incident,
when it looked as though the Standard
had downed them.
Mr.. Phillips read paper before the
Commission last Saturday, explanatory
of the doings of his company, and Mr..
Lockwood published an interview Mon
day, in which he calls Archbold OF the
Standard '1usty old liar" et';.
There was some talk of Mr.. Phillips
resigning his place in the Commission,
and of the Commission quitting bust
ness, but as its proceedings are enlight-
ening the public as to the doings OF
corporations, great and small, and as
these great corporations, with the aid of
managing politicians, like Platr and
Quay, who stand in" with them,
haye for years dominated the
legislatures of the two great states of
New York and Pennsylvania, and also
some of the smaller ones like New
Jersey, the Commission should continue
its good work.

POLITICAL.

DIR. Showalter was in town last week,
and it is understood that he is a can
didate for third term in Congress
At Washington, Pa, Monday, John
F. Budke was nominated for State Sen
ator, to succeed the late Col Hawkins.
A move of Congressman Achesons,
which puzzled his friends at the time,
was his going into the Republican COM
mittee meeting on proxy and propos-
ing an amendment to the rules by which
the names of all candidates for National
and State officers are to be submitted to
the people at the primary election. This
amendment was adopted without an op-
posing vote.
Congressman Acheson says he intends
to retire voluntarily from the boss
business" and that hereafter the Re
publicans of Washington county should
have an opportunity to express them
selves on the candidacy of every aspir-
ant for public favor. Under this rule
Senator Quay's name will be submitted
to the Republican voters of the county
at the primaries next year. Unless
there is radical revolution in the
sentiment between now and next spring,
Quay cannot get one fifth of the Repub-
lican vote of Washington county
The Boer Republic of South Africa
has again positively refused to recognize
the English authority to make demands
effecting the internal government of the
Republic, though expressing a willing
ness to make some concessions to British
request. The Cabinet may either de-
clare war, or assume a different atti-
tude. Its diplomacy has been outwitted
by the willy Beers. who have thrown
the burden upon English shoulders.
Not only that, but Great Britain is
taunted with the proposition to submit
the dispute to arbitration, for which it
took the lead at the recent peace confer
ence at The Hague

ROAD JURY AT WORK.
Trying to Solve the Middle of the Aiea
Boulevard.

The jury appointed on the purposed
road through the Halawa plantation
went to the scene Wednesday to look
over the ground and to hear the state
ments of parties interested. Deputy
Marshal Hitchcock represented Marshal
Brown and Superintendent Rowell the
Interior department. 1t is expected
that the case can be finished up during
the afternoon.
This matter has hung fire for a long
time and has numerous qualifications.
superintendent Rowell started the road
at one time and built it until it ran
into tract belonging to the Bishop es-
tate, when a halt was called. Rowell
said that President Dole told him to do
1t, and later said that Minister King
told him to go ahead" People in the
neighborhood are quite worked up on
the subject of the change of road, and
for several months the Government has
been obliged to keep both thoroughfares
open to please both sides. Those in fav-
or of the old road would use it and those
opposed to it would cross the Bishop
estate.
