Treatment from q Mob.

lola, Kan, May 9.-The trouble
here between workmen and the Ital-
ians sent here from Kansas City to
work in the cement plant seems to be
about over, the Italians having been
returned home and the leaders of the
mob arrested. Sheriff Hobart APP
peared at the depot about two hours
before train time and served war
rants on two of the leaders of tho
crowd and ordered the rest, mostly boys
and young men, to return home or be
arrested. The crowd dispersed with
out making trouble. The cement COM
pany, finding that the Italians were
too scared to return to work, pur-
chased tickets for them and they went
back to Kansas City on the first pas
senger train. One or two of them
carry bloody heads, but aside from
this the reports that several people
were wounded cannot he confirmed,
but the fear OF arrest makes those
interested silent. There is q gen.
eral feeling here that the trouble
is well over and joy that the Italians
have gone.

Ship-Subsldy Bill.
St, Louis Republic.

St. Louis Republic.
Senator Cockrell is doubtless right
in his prediction that the republicans
will find themselves sufficiently amen
able to Hanna's will in the next con-
gress to pass ship-subsidy bill for the
benefit of certain syndicates standing
very near to Hanna.
He is also justified in his belief that,
even though this bill be modified ver-
sion of that which Hanna tried in vain
to jam through the proceeding con-
gress, it will nevertheless give the
democratic party excellent campaign
material for the congressional cam.
paign of 1902. This is inevitable, for
the reason that the American people
are now too inteligently posted on the
ship-subsidy question to be fooled into
believing that such grant can be any
thing but tax on the people. for the
further enricbmenlof the syndicates.
The country has not yet forgotten
the desperate efforts made by Hanna to
bend the Fifty sixth congress 10 his
will in this matter OF the passage Of
the Hanna'Payne-F -Frye-Standard Oil
shlp-subsidy bill. 1t is remembered
also that Hanna was pledged to the
passage OF this bill. II was one Of the
conditions upon which the syndicates
made up the $50, 100000 slush fund
tor the reelection of Mr. Mckinley to
the presidency. Hanna's pledge to
the syndicates is still in force. Ii
must be made good if Hanna is to con-
vince the syndicates that his power /:
equal to the perfoi nance of any anC
every promise which he may see fit tc
make in return for the syndicates
financial backing.
Senator Cockrell is well posted as t
the possibilities Of congressional &C
tion. He sees as certain the passage
of ship-subsidy bill at an early da,
following the assembling of the Fifty
seventh congress. 1t will be the duty o
the American people to rebuke sucl
action at the polls in the congressiona
elections of 1902. The rebuke mus
be administered 10 the form of over
whelmlng defeat Of republican caudi
dates for congress.

What Are Trusts FOrS

From the New York World.
II you will let the trust organizers
tell the story, the great combined cor

ECONOMIES. in production and DIS
tributioH.''
That was the talk when the great
coal combine was formed. 1t was re-
peated when the colossal steel COM
bination followed. There was to be
no advance in prices. The dear pab-
lic was to have other object-lessons in
benevolent despotism and mercifll
msnopoly such as the Standard Oil
company has long given this country;
as witness the price Of Its stock and its
fortune building dividends!
Well, the steel combine is but few
months old, and it has just raised the
price of rails 90 ton. The anthracite
combine, euphemistically called .
community Of ieterest" has advanced
the price Of coal 81 a ton, and will col
lect tribute of s5O,OOO,OoO from the
consumers.
It thus appears as the world has
said, that community of Interest," is
not the interest Of the community. And
the question, "What are the trusts
forP" is getting its answer.

The Youngers Almost Free

St. Paul, MINI, May AT a reg
ular meeting of the board of managers
of the state prison today at saltwater,
unanimous action was taken in favor
of psroling the Younger boys, now
serving life sentences. Before the
parole can be effective all three men,
bers of the state pardon board must
approve it, and the action will be
submitted to that body as soon as pos
sible. This is in accordance with the
new parole law, which allows the
parole of life prisoners after about
twenty-four years imprisonment, be-
ing thlrty-hve years, less time gained
by good behavior. Paroles usually
are granted by the prison managers
alone, but in the case of lite prisoners
unanimous approval of the board OF
pardons Is also necessary, and such
paroled life prisoners cannot leave the
state. Tne pardon board does not
meet regularly until July, but special
meeting may be called if the members
OF the board consider it necessary.
