UNJUST DISCRIMINATION IN RAIL.

1t IL difficult to understand how any
public body could have the audacity
to attempt such II thing, but It seems
however It IL now being done by no
lcss body than the State Board Of
Equalization and that too In a notable
case and Il most fragrant manner.
The Eagle would ask the State Board
Of Equalization what 1t means by III
peculiar attitude az between two great
railroad corporations Of this StTte: Tile
Chicago L. Northwestern and the Rock
Island.
The facts In the case are these. and
perhaps the State Board will kindly OK.

The Chicago & Northwestern has got
In the County OF Cook Gs miles Of main

1G7 miles Of side track. 1t IL assessed

On the other hand the Rock Island

There must be some reason for this

Cook County has also trlumphed In the
splendid victory Of last Monday. for

been long engaged In u conspiracy ia

and ANONYMOUSLY defeated.
For this every man who has ut heart

cannot help expressing n feeling of
thank fulness.
The Eagle desires to join with Mr..
Burke's friends In rendering ITS fellclta-
tiOns.
This journal stood by Mr. Burke dur
Ing the long siege OF persecution nnd
cnlumny to which he has been subject
cd. because 1t knew the motives that
inspired the ferOciOus attack made
upon him, and had also an abid-
Ing conviction that he would triumph In
the end, and further that his vindlca-
tiOn would mean the humiliation and
crushing defeat of the cOnsplratOrs who
sought to destroy him.
This Journal exposed the dirty
scheme by which the first Indictment
OF Robert Il. Burke was brought about,
1t pointed out the persistent malignity
with which he was pursued through
the medium of the following grand jury,
and 1t has torn the mask from the faces
OF tho cOwardly and skulking cOnspira-
tors who have tried to stab him In the
back. and have used every method even
the very institutions OF the law itself
to accomplish his ruin.
1t has not been disappointed In the
outcome.
Robert T.. Burke has been vindicated.
His enemies have been COMPOUNDED,
they are In the dust and his foot IL
upon their nccks.

How we'll Robert II. Burke has de-
served this splendid loyalty of his co
workers In the Democratic party, the
history of its past campaigns amply
attests.
That his character remains unsullled

A GOOD REPUTATION.

one of our Consul's reporting from
speaking it is considered in Scottish
communities that TO say an article is
American is to commend it,. This
speaks highly for our manufacturers
The same story comes from Consular
reports in the far east. Throughout
Asiatic countries, and chiefly China,
American cotton cloth is considered to
be the best, and the American imprint
upon goods is a guarantee of their
genuineness and quality. This is an
enviable position for the traders of any
country to stand in. They should take
the utmost care that this reputation
should be retained.
In former times this enviable position
was held by British goods, especially
those known as Manchester goods. But
continued success in trade made the
manufacturers greedy, and they began
to think that their pronts might be en-
HANGED by supplying inferior articles
at top prices. The process of loading
cotton goods with lime, size and other
ingredients was resorted to, and the re-
suit has been that when the genuine
American cottons came in they very
speedily ran ahead of the Manchester
goods.
Our wonderful increase in trade de-
ponds upon the genuineness of our
goods. Our oil is pure and better than
the oil furnished by either Sumatra or
Russia. Our agricultural implements
are well made and contain the very best
of material. Our mechanical skill
makes them light and strong. They ma
turally command ready sale and are
sought after Our watches and clocks
are cheap, but they are well made and
are genuine time keepers. They are
good.
So long as we keep up, this, the char
acter of our manufactured goods, so
10 shall we be able to command our
markets. We pay bigger prices for
labor have our workmen labor shorter
hours, put In better material and yet
turn out cheaper articles than countries
which pay low prices, overworlI their
men, and use inferior material or GER
tainly material no better than ours.
May the good reputation of the Ameri-
can manufacturer last. His reputation
gives him the lead in the markets of
the world.

Some effort to protect the fish we
have at present in our waters is in
cumbent upon the community, and it is
to be hoped that the initiative taken
by Secretary Cooper may result in
tangible benefit to the people We
have really a very fine assortment of
fish in the surrounding seas and along
the coasts. OF these only a few kinds
ever find their way to the table. More
over there is a terrible waste of fish or
rather of small fry. The Japanese and
Chinese fishermen use nets which are
thoroughly improper, the meshes being
so small that a mosquito could not
escape. There is no law to reach these
people at present, and there ought to be
a law for this purpose. Secretary
Coopers appeal is a practical one and
should call forth support from all
classes of society.

THE KAHN BILL.

The Kahn bill, which seems to have
dropped out of sight here. is very
patent and baleful factor in Congress.
We seem to have gone to sleep over it
here An effort to get together an or
ganization against it here, fell as fiat
as ditch water. Fortunately our friends
away from here are active enough, and
have registered a most vigorous kick,
which it is to be hoped will be of good
effect.
Kahn's proposal came here in an OK
tremely insidious form, and there We're
those of our Islanders, and those in
terested in the islands in California at
the time that Kahn was elected, who
did not see the effect of such a bill as
Kahn proposed. There We're even peo-
pie carried away with the idea that it
would be a good thing for the Territory.
There might be saving of any where
from $4,000 to 5000, 600 for the biennial
period. That we need all the money for
running the territory that we can posi-
bly, have, if we are to run on liberal
lines, is certain, but We can pay too
dearly for our finances. Better that we
should be driven threadbare, than that
we should become the dumping ground
of the United States and in the end of
very large section of the world.
For once the good deeds done, are go
ing to act as a boomerang upon those
who have done them. The rulers of
these islands, finding that they had a
terrible disease to combat, set about
with characteristic energy to meet the
foe. 1t was a difficult task. Prejudice
had to be overcome, ignorance had to
be overcome, organization had to be
perfected by the toilsome process of ex-
pertinent, and finally we reached
great result. We had so well managed
an institution that many scientific men
have come from far to examine and to
consider. In medical circles, and in
philanthropic circles the settlement at
Molokai stands as an example Of how
ably such an institution can be con-
Quoted. That there are blots it is true
But these can be erased as time goes
on and younger and better educated of
ficials are employed. To the outsider,
however, the management seems well
nigh perfect.
We worked too well, we expended our
money, our zeal, our energy to too good
a purpose. Our settlement on Molokai
received too much attention. The re-
suit has been that it has come to
be regarded as an ideal home for lepers
and as such Representative Kahn
thinks it would be an ideal place for
all the afflicted on the mainland,
Al far as one can judge Repceq epta-
tive Kakn has an idea that the settle
ment is of limitless extent He also,

The arrival of an experimental band

the mistakes charged against them
are due to the carclessness in ad-

ccrning real or fancied faults IN
mail service instead of making com
plant at the postofilce is silly.
Every article Of every description
mailed IN any post Office in the land
is sent out on first mail train. This
rule is adhered to iixedly. 1t isn't
at all necessary To ask that this or
that package or letter be sent out
IN the first train when it always is.
And more, all mail received in any
post office is distributed and deliv.
cred as quick az possible, the letters
first and papers and circulars in their
natural order of importance. The
claim that the employees of any
post Office would purposely delay Or
withhold matter of any description
Is usually SO extremely withoui tact
as TO stamp the person making such
claim ~ little less than an idio'.

are always detected. Honest com
