those who sneeze when Mr.. Morgan
and some others take snuff, and told
of the immensely of that lie which says
are soulless. and prais
ed those who are said to be going to
pour wealth into the lap OF labor. IL
has been some time since corporations
began wasting their money on labor
and there are several explanations OF
this munificence. One is that the
presidential election will be on before
long and those employees must be kept
in line, but there is another explana-
ton and it is this: The wages OF some
workmen are really to be increased,
but at the same time freights are to be
increased all along the line, so that II
will be Just as easy If not easier now
for these railroads to pay labor
more wages than before, in fact 1t is
said by many who have studied the
situation, to be ruse on their part tC
advance freight rates. The advance
which is reported about to be made
will pay twenty times the in
creased wages promised the employees
1t Is therefore the old old story. The
farmer will do all the paying, because
the consumer suffers always from
these outbursts Of liberality, and the
great consumer IS the farmer. But
the poor Ass will go on bearing the
burden and suffering the lash and
never complain nor do aught to make
his load lighter. At the next election,
as he has done for many years, he will
positively beg his owners to lay on q
little more sharply because they tell
him when he has to work hard they

BOYS UNIQUE PUNISHMENT.
5anished to Lone Hut for Plotting tc
Murder Girl PIavmate


Murder Girl Playmate.
New York, April 14.-As a sequel of
the confession Of Leonard Robinson,
the 14-yeer-Old schoolboy, that he had
plotted to murder his playmate, Jessie
Danes, an appeal probably will be
made to the governor to prevent the
carrying out Of the agreement. The
lad was banished to a lonely hut over
looking Shinnecock Bay, L. l., 95 miles
from his home, and is to remain there
three years. The boy spends his time
claiming and duck shooting.
There is no law, it is admitted by
those who were at interest in the case,
for such a punishment 1t was simply
concession made by the father of
the girl he plotted to assassinate when
the boys father and mother begged
that he would not push the case and
send their son to refOrmatory or a
lunatic asylum. The compromise was
reached out of court and Judge Conk.
lin consented to the remarkable ar.
rangements. The boy has become
tired of his part in the agreement and
violated it by visiting his mother He
was severely reprimanded by the au-
thOrities and was hurried back to his
lone hut. Now there is talk of an ap.

F1edU OF army VIII BE Succee0ed By
Brooke, Then Wood.
Washington, April 14.-Lieutenant
General Miles is to be retired this
week.
General John r. Brooke will proba-
bly, be his immediate successor but
will hold the distinction of being the
head of the army for few months
only, since he is nearly 64. the age for
regulation retirement.
After Brooke. General Leonard
Wood, army officers say. will be given
the place by Roosevelt.
The immediate retirement of Miles
has been definitely decided upon by
the president, who has announced his
decision to several callers
Miles is only 62. but the president
has the power to retire him when he
pleases. He will exercise that power
now, because Miles is opposed to the
administration war plans and is not
on speaking terms with the president
or the secretary of war.
Miles friends have been disposed to
kick against his compulsory retire.
ment, but the other side has dug up
and published the fact that Miles
friends had General Ord retired by
President Hayes in order to get Miles
advanced, and no further kicks are ex-
pected.
