EAST END AMEST

The aspirations of the Eastern and
the Western states are by no means
identical and the greatest opposition in
the United States just now seems to be
Boston. At least the Boston thinkers
are pretty evidently in the lead against
the views of the thinkers and the ac-
tive workers of the West. Take Cd
ward Atkinson's article upon Gle beet
industry in the Popular Science month
ly, and you have one case in point. At
kinson is an authority upon economies,
but the greatest authorities can go as
tray.
Mr.. Atkinson beIittles the beet sugar
industry, and his figures upon the point
are taken to pieces with much success
by the San Francisco Chronicle. The
beet sugar industry defeated Cuban
reciprocity, and in consequence the
beet sugar industry is to be run down
by Boston and the East. Whatever
views we may have held upon the beet
sugar industry we are now, as are the
planters of the South wrapped up in
the same interest. We want no recip.
rocity with Cuba any more than the

The relief steamer to Laysan Island
only took three days upon a trip which
a sailing vessel take a fortnight or SO
over In consequence supplies were
received very shortly after they were
shipped from this port. Had there been
no steamer available the people might
have run short of provisions, and how
ever good supply of fish there might
be, fish without something in the way
or tarinaceous food, is rather a slim
diet as the annals of many a wreck
VIII hold good. Captain Walker and
his family on Midway Island had lots

up in every part of the town where
they are permitted, and they viii ever
be a menace to the rest of the city. At
last legislature an attempt was made
to extend the fire limits, but it failed.
The extension of the fire limits is the
only means we have of giving perma-
nent safety to the more valuable seq
ton of town property. The coming
legislature should certainly give it's at
tention to such a measure, which is not
a party one, but which is for the BEN
eft of all. The Campbell block, is of
course an old structure, and it is by
no means a satisfactory one. Modern
construction requires much better con-
struction, and the elimination of oppor-
tunity for fire to eat into a building
in the manner in which that of Satur-
day did, giving great trouble to those
who were fighting the flames, and
necessarily endangering surrounding
property.
As to the storage of innammables
even in limited quantities in ware
houses surrounded by offices and
stores, that is another matter for leg
islation. AS the law now stands, a linn
tied quantity of inhammables can be
so stored. To those upon whom comes
the burden and care Of looking after
the safety of the city, it is a question
whether it is wise to permit this guam
tity or whether it should not be further
curtailed.
Finally it is very evident that we
need property-saving brigade, as well
as fire department. Insurance COM
panies, and merchants in towns on the
Mainland, support such an organiza-
ton, and find it to be of the greatest
value. The subject has been drawn at
tenton to here, but never with any
practical result This brigade would
be on hand with the same promptitude
as the fire engines. The men would
bring with them waterproof sheeting
with which to cover the valuable
stocks of goods in stores and protect
them in very great measure from
damage by water The damage caused
by water is frequently greater than
that caused by fire. Such a brigade,
moreover, being properly trained and
working under discipline could remove
goods more safely, more expeditiously
and more intelhgently than can be
done by amateur help, no matter how
willing the latter help may be. The
development of the city, and the value
Of the goods stored here calls for such
an organization, and it is to be hoped
that the example of the Mainland
cities will be followed.
such are few of the ideas that sug-
gest themselves. The better our prep
aration to meet fires, the less fires we
will have.

'eet growers, and the beet sugar manu-
facturers want it.
The position of the Eastern capitalist
can be readily understood. They have
bought shares in Cuban plantations at
low prices, they want to force up, those
shares. The thirty millions Of dollars
which it was proposed to give to Cuba,
would not benefit the Cubans, but
would go largely into the pockets of the
Eastern capitalists. The millions talk
en- out of the Western farmers will
float back also into the pockets of the
Eastern manufacturers and merchants.
The question Of the trusts enters here.
The West wants some effective legis-
lation upon the trusts the East wants
no such legislation. Cuban reciprocity
will help the trusts, Cuban reciprocity
will not advantage the West. In the
course of argument in favor of Cuban
reciprocity, even so prominent a man
as Edward Atkinson is carried away to
the Eastern support of trust legisla-
ton, and to an attempt to undermine
the Western rising industry.

Needs W0rk for Now Idle
Soldiers.

Washington, Dee. Is. - Whatever
doubt existed in Nicaragua as to the in
tention of Colombia to carry out her
threat to attack her as soon as her own
revolutionary movement had been
checked, has been removed by the re-
ceipt OF advices of semi-official char
acter here, that the Colombian army
officers at Panama and Colon are stead
lily but quietly making ready for an in
vasion of Nicaragua. 1t is stated fur
Their that there is double reason for the
attack.
In the first place, Colombia wishes to
take forcible possession of the Mosquito
strip, which would control both routes
available for an isthmian canal, and
80 enable her to make her own terms,
and, secondly, she must find congenial
employment for the Colombian soldiers
who have been fighting rebels for four
years and cannot now be easily turned
to ways of peace, and would, it is fear
ed, start new revolution if not allow
ed an outlet for their energies outside
of Colombia.
The advices are to the effect that the
officials in Managua are seriously dis
turbed at the outlook, and are casting
abont for means to avert the attack by
Colombia,

Germany and Great Britain Told
How Far They Can Go.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 15.-An
official announcement that the Venezue-
Ian legation at Port OF Spain, Trinidad,
has been closed, lends color to the
growing belief that Present Castro in
tends to bring about such condition
as will force interentioni. on the part OF
the United States under the provisions
of the Monroe doctrine. In the absence
of any comment on U. S. Consul
Smiths cablegram conveying this in
telligence to the department, the act is
taken as plain intent upon the part OF
Venezuela to sever all diplomatic rela-
tions with Great Britain. While it is
true that officially the United States
does not question the justice of the
claims of Great Britain or Germany, or
the sincerity of Germany's pretensions.
that she is not intent upon the acquisi-
tion of territory in this particular case,
the kaiser is known to have long want
ed naval base in the Caribbean sea.
1t was once openly reported that he
blocked the sale of the Danish West
Indie, to the United States in the hope
that he might eventually secure one
of the islands.
This fact. and the additional ono
that Germany used harsher methods
than the case warranted. il why some
of the presidents advisers would like
to have any future complications with
Germany put beyond the range of
possibility, by speedy settlement of
the Venezuelan troubles. Great Brit
ain and Germany have been told that
they can use any measures to collect
their claims that they see fit, but
that there must be nc acquisition of
territory or any attempt at colonial
ton. If they put an army of $4,000
men in Venezuela the United Sattes
may not protest. If they 60 too far
with Venezuela, whip her, and then
try to take territory as an indemnity
for in this case Venezuela will have
to pay the expenses of collection as
we'll as the debts-they will be stop
ped by the United States. These facts
have been impressed on Germany and
England. The kaiser has said through
the foreign offi'e:

in writing in the state department.
England has not put anything in
writing but England and Germany
beth understand and agree"

Wall Street Required to Tide Over

Washington, Dec. Is - Secretary

LEGATION IA to the attitude of the treas-
ury department to the present money
stringency in New York. There is rea-
son to believe, however, that no action
whatever is contemplated now or at any
time in the near future, and certainly
not as long as the interests involved are
not extended to the substantial bust
ness operations of the country outside
of its present limited area.
1t is understood that the department
takes the position that the government
is not involved in the present situation,
and that Wall street must rely upon it's
own resources to tide over the present
stringency. At this time the treasury
has no available cash on hand above a
moderate working balance aoproximat-

present purpose to further reduce this
sum by making additional deposit in
national banks repositories or other

DANGER OF TRUSTS.
Judge Grosscup Delivers Lecture
Before Law Students,

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. l5.-Judge Peter
Grosscup OF Chicago lectured here be-
fore the members OF the law school of
the University of Nebraska on the SUBJ
ject, 'So-called Trusts-The Next Great
Step in American Politics."
Judge Grosscup treated at length the
causes and growth of SO called trusts.
The desire to acquire property he de-
clared to be the spirit and soul of our
civil institutions. Speaking of the
Sherman antitrust law he siad:
GAS interpreted by the supreme court
that act embodied a public purpose,
unwisely formed, think, to deal with
the so-called trusts, on no other basis
than that of determination, to cut
them out root and branch, to sweep the
land with decree like Herod's, that
no child of consolidation should be
found to have escaped"
Judge Grosscup declared that trusts
had not made the conditions of ordinary
life harder to bear. He added
"Bnt though the objections reviewed
be untenable, it does not follow that
the So called trusts, as they now exist,
are without menace to our welfare. In
deed, the real danger lies deeper than
any consideration of prices charged or
distrust aroused. II goes to the founda-
tions of our society as republican
people.
ga widespread withdrawal by the
people at large from general ownership
in the properties OF the country cannot
but be fraught with the graevst danger
Such withdrawal will diminish, if not
destroy, popular interest in national
prosperity; for from those only who
have stake in prosperity can we ex-
pect great interest. 1t will cap to its
foundations the real strength of the
government; for government must be
built Cd the interests as we'll as the
affections of the people governed. An
industrial system subject to such in
dictment is rising menace to free
government itself"
AS remedy Judge Grosscup declared
that first the Sherman act should be
repealed and in it's place should be en-
acted legislation against artificial
prices, discrimination between buyers
and overcapitalization, and to provide
for government inspection as is now
practiced with regard to banks.

ADULTERATED FOODS.
A Dozen Washington Young Men to
Make Test of Effect.

Washington, Dec. l6.-Abouta dozen
young men have begun boarding on a
diet furnished by the agricultural de-
partment and designed to test food adj
ulterants. 1t was the first day of the
actual inclusion of borax and other pre-
servatives in the meats which are to be
furnished to the young men for long
period under the direction of Chemist
Wiley, of the department. HeSbelieves
the results will show the harmlessness
OF preservatives whose presence in ex-
ports OF the United States has led to
exclusion of such food products. The
young men have been taking their
meals for two weeks under DR.. Wiley's
direction, but until today no adulter-
ants were used in the food. The object
was to place them in the best possible
physical condition before beginning pre-
servatives.
