TO BE INVESTIGATED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-It is inferred
here that the recent killing of Fitzgerald

ed at the state department from United
States Minister Hunter. father Of the
young man who shot Fitzgerald, asking
permission for the appearance of Bailey,

SHOT DEAD IN TRACKS
BY BURLY BANK RoBBER

WARREN, Mich, Nov. 26.-Clint z. Os-
borne, assistant postmaster and proprie-
tor of the general store in this village,
was shot early today by one of a gang Of
robbers that entered the Warren bank and
blew open the safe.
The explosion aroused Osborne, who tel
ephoned to one of his neighbors that he
thought robbers were at work in the bank
or postoffice. All the telephones in the
village were connected at night, and it is
thought that the cracksmen heard the bell
in the bank ring and listened to the con-
versation.
Osborne then started down the street,
and had gone but short distance when
one of the robbers, acting as an outside
guard, shot him in the face with a charge
of buckshot, killing him instantly. With
out securing anything from the safe, the
burglars fed

TWO STRIKERS ARE KILLED AND
POLICE CAPTAIN AND TWO
OFFICERS VERY
BADLY SHOT.

HAVANA, Nov. 24.-During demon
stration in front of the palace today Po-
lice Captain Maso and two officers were
wounded and two strikers were killed.
Two policemen and several strikers also
were wounded.
The strike here became general today.
The conductors and motormen continued
running their cars until 10 o'clock, when
Superintendent Greenwood ordered sus-
pension OF traffic. He had asked the civil
governor for protection, but the authori-
ties were unable to protect the cars. Sew
eral of them were wrecked and some
motormen and conductors were injured.
The men were willing TO remain at work,
but officials Of the company, in order TO
protect the property, deemed 1t wise to
suspend the service.
The situation is grave. The police VIII
not make any arrests owing to the pro-
nounced sympathy of the mayor and other
city officials with the strikers.
A mob Of strikers drove the employees of
the Western railroad from the trains this
morning
No bread or meat is on sale, and con-
tinuance Of the strike will cause much
suffering to the poor.
When the strikers became disorderly
the mayor read the riot act and later
this afternoon the police charged a Num-
Der of men at the Slaughter house and
injured several Of them.
The mayor gave full power to the chief
Of police who now has the situation under
control.
The electric cars are again running and
the mobs are being dispersed.

From Alexander, Ills.

We have had a remarkably steady
winter. 1t began in December with a
sharp snap, then January gave US
three weeks of clear sunny days, but
cool enough to keep the ground from
thawing out much. Now we have a
coat OF frozen snow over the ground
three or four inches deep. No buster
ing, binding storm with bitter, cold
and biting winds. II all our winters
we're like this our state would soon
become famous for such seasons.
And If this thing goes much farther
the state will also become famous for
the plentitude OF its Office seekers.

but candidates, especially Democratic
ones, are getting very plentiful. Men

HlstOry's Elementary Facts.

One editorial in the Globe yesterday
condemned the Kansas writer, Will
White, on the ground that he "dis-
torts history by attempting to deal
with it while lacking a knowledge OF
elementary facts"
In another editorial the Globe dis
torts history, either with ignorance OF
elementary facts or with matured in
tent to deceive. This is the old doubt
about the Globe. You never know
whether it is chump or a liar. The
common opinion holds to the liar
theory. People are slow to think that
a St. Louis daily can be such a fool as
the Globe would seem to be on the
other supposition.
Anyhow, fool or liar, the Globe dis
torts history again on the School Fund
question. There are a dozen direct
Ialsenoods In the article, but the main
point is in the clownish pretense that
half the amount Of State bonds rep
resented by the School Fund has In
some mysterious way disappeared.

chaste and respectful language.
The specific statement is that Of the
$4, $4,000 in certificates, only the
sum Of 2,0O9. 900, part Of the consoli-
dated certificate issued in 1881, is rep
resented by cancelled bonds,
Maybe this way Of lying about the
School Fund is considered in the Globe
office clever political trickery. Any
vanity the Globe is now enjoying on
this score Of cleverness will subside

big per cent to make spurious dollars?
5. Are you in favor of granting
special privileges to classes and per-
sons?
6. Are you real Democrat or only
a partisanP
There is half-dozen questions that
it would puzzle most of our candidates
to answer. We might, in a campaign
or two, materially lessen the number
of Office seekers, or compel them to
get an Intelligent idea of public pro-
blems and to favor something like a
Democratic solution of them.
Crime comes high. We have just
had couple of cases that cost the
county $4,000 and resulted in sending
one "smoked Yankee" to the pen for
twenty years. There is good deal
of anger expressed over the last, the
Barnes case; but it is hard to see how
the prosecution could have done better
than they did, Such cases superin-
duce lynching. If we took more pains
to prevent crime we would not mis-
carry 80 often in our attempts to en-
force law. especially in capital cases.
1t is not possible to educate men 80
that we shall have no use for statutes,
courts and sheriffs, as philosophical
anarchists, who should be called
autarchists, hold; but it is possible to
very nearly approximate such state,
as long established communities in the
old world prove. Take as examples
Klingensberg, Bermersback, Stanfen-
berg, Lanzensceboldt and Freuden-
stadt, in Germany; Hampen in Hol-
land; Orsa in Sweden and Andorra in
Spain, where all public burdens have
rested upon natural resources. In
some of these communities citizens
have paid no taxes for hundreds of
years; but have, on the contrary, after
all public expenses have been paid, in
Guiding the latest improvements, even
free telephones, received part of the
surplus revenues, divided SO that men,
women and children shared alike, and
that the married man got more than
the bachelor, and the large family
more than the small family. Here,
where laws are made to give one man
the power to take another mans earn
ings, such conditions seem chimerical
and we condemn men as enemies o1
order who teach that such conditions
are attainable. We may find some
reason for such antipathies, when we
consider that in state under such
conditions as these small COM
munities exist, we should have far less
use for body doctors, soul doctors and
doctors of laws. Even the occupation
of our be-strapped and be-feathered
gentry would be nearly like Othello's
gone. 1t would never do to get as fal
away from hell as that till we die.
In physical science we have gotter
very close to the secret of life. We
have discovered that an electron com
bined with an atom forms an ion
What pity it is that in social science
we are unable to combine little COM
mon sense with law, so that we can ge
close to the secret of human felicity.
