Rival Railroad interests.

Rumors circulating at the Capitol ascribe
to the Gould railroad interests the purpose
to block, If possible. the passage of the
union station bill through the House
Those interests have recently acquired such
holdings in eastern railroads as to give
them an outlet upon the Atlantic seaboard
and to put them in position for entrance
into Washington. Just why they should
seek to prevent the construction of an ideal
terminal station in which they would be
adequately accommodated If given a local
entrance it is difficult to understand save
on the assumption that they Would prefer
to have a greater interest than that of a
tenant in their Washington terminal The
amended Patterson amendment adopted by
the Senate provides for the local accom-
mediation of all railroads entitled to en-
trance into the District and would seem to
serve the legitimate purposes of all the
lines which are likely ever to-be constructed
into the capital. So the reason for the
alleged opposition must be sought further.
The people of Washington earnestly hope
shat no antagonism between two rival sys-
TENS will prevent the success of the union

The Beef Trust Enjoined.

From the New York Herald.
The order made by Judge Grosscup re-
strains the trust and each of it's members
fro IA pursuing the methods by which they
have created a virtual monopoly of the
meat trade and levied tribute upon the con-
sumers of the country. They are enjoined
from instructing their agents not to bid
against one another in the buying of cattle
and from arbitrarily raising or lowering
prices-the methods by which they have
held the ranchmen of the west at their
mercy. They are restrained from fixing
uniform prices for meats and regulating the
supply to be shipped to the markets-the
methods by which they squeezed the con-
sumers. They are ordered to refrain from
enforcing the blacklisting and other agree
nents. and are prohibited from getting spe-
cal rates from the railroads.
In short, the order of the court is sweep
ing, and enjoins the combination from prac-
tIcing any of the devices wherewith it has
suppressed competition, divided up territory
and fixed on the one hand the prices It paid
t. cattle raisers and on the other the prices
it extorted from the consumers Of meat.
Cunning and powerful as the combination
has shown itself to be, yesterdays pre-
liminary victory shows that it is not
beyond the power Of publicity and the law.
The prosecutions begun by Attorney Cen
eral Davies in this state and by similar
officials in other states should not be re-
Taxed because Of this success of the federal
authorities. On the contrary, they should
be pushed with greater vigor that the ne
farious combination may be put under the
ban Of each commonwealth and crushed be-
ycnd all chances Of resuscitation.

Messrs. Gaynor and Greene, the much
wanted American fugitives in Canada, have
taken refuge in the jail at Quebec to avoid
being removed to the Jail at Montreal. This
would seem like a case Of Hobson's choice,
but probably the gentlemen in question have
confidence In the hospitality and kindness
OF the Quebec jailer and lack faith in their
Montreal prototypes. The recent episode
has taught them that Montreal is not a de-
sirable place of residence. being only slight
ly more attractive than the United States.
The rivalry between those two Canadian
cities for the honor of entertaining the for
mer partners of Captain Carter has devel-
oped some entertaining and even amusing
phases. Meanwhile the American judicial
officials are guessing again.

the prevailing rates are the result Of natu-
raj causes, over which they have no con-
troll.
1t will not suffice for the government
merely to secure injunctions which formal
ly forbid certain actions or agreements.
1t must prosecute all violations of the
courts orders. II violation Of the Sher-
man act has already been indicated by the
aff1davits held by the Attorney Generals
deputies, as would seem to be the case &C
cording to the accounts of the Chicago pro-
ceedings, there Is reason for such prosecu-
lions already. A wholesale punishment Of the
heads of the packing houses by fine or
Imprisonment, or both, would have a most
salutary effect upon all other dealers in
the necessities of life who are now tempted
to cause artificial increases in the prices
In order to reap a more abundant harvest.
The public will not be detected II the
governments activity fails to bring i'm
mediate relief. 1t will be disappointed,
however, II the weapon the government
now has at it's disposal, the Sherman law,
proves to be insufficient to wound the
trust to death. Such demonstration will
assuredly lead to a determined demand by
the people for the enactment of new law,

Progress in the Philippines.

From the Boston Journal.
Careful readers of the newspapers must
have noticed of late almost an entire alb
sence of accounts of even skirmishes in the
Philippines, save in the Mohammedan is
land Of Mindanao, far away to the south,
hundreds of miles from Manila, where our
troops have had one sharp engagement
with warlike Moros, have routed them COM
pletely and broken their spirit so that Gen.
Chaffee believes that they will sue for
peace without another encounter. Every
where else, save in this Mohammedan is
land, fighting seems to have ended for good
and all. 1t Is true. of course that the
ladrones. or professional thieves of the
Philippines. who prey on natives and Amer
leans alike, have not yet been wholly con-
quered. Perhaps they never will be, but
probably never in Philippine history has
there been so little brigandage as now.
These Philippine ladrones are not soldiers.
They are not fighting men. They are the
East Indian equivalents Of our western
stage robbers or italian bandits.

A Fit Topic for the House.

Fourteen years ago the House of Repre-
sentatives undertook, the Senate having
already acted, to adjust the Anticipated
and Objectionable dates of the national
calendar After a perfunctOry considera-
ton in committee of the proposition for an
April inauguration and a January conven-
ing of Congress the House gave a few
hours talk to the matter and finally re-
jected the resolution. Since then It has
done nothing to correct the evils which
have arisen from these misadjustments,
although its attention has been repeatedly
called to them. particularly In behalf Of
an April inauguration. Now the Senate
has acted again and the matter is once
more before the House committee. being
again coupled with the January converting
plan.
This is not question which invites party
division No issue could possibly be raised
for campaign purposes for or against either
party for seeking to solve the problem.
The people. irrespective of party demand
the April inauguration. and common sense
suggests that Congress assembling seven
or eight weeks after its election is more
likely to be Of immediate service to the
country than a Congress assembling thir-
teen months after election. There may be
arguments against both propositions but
they are not beyond answer and the friends
OF the proposed changes ask only that the
question be discussed in fair spirit which
seeks a wise solution rather than in that
Of captious opposition.
II the matter is involved and difficult Of
safe settlement it should appeal to the
House at this end of the session, when the
burden of the legislative work is rapidly
being shifted to the Senate. Here is
topic to challenge the legal acumen of
members Here is a chance to discuss con-
stitutionai law. to weigh the nice questions
Of precedent and practice. 1t is a fair ex-
pectation that the wisdom of the House is
equal to the selection of the combination
OF dates and provisions which will give
the country an April inauguration and per-
haps a January converting with the least
possible menace to the national welfare.

The Government and the Beef Trust.

me beef magnates appear not to be
alarmed AT the prospect of the govern
merts activity IN It's prosecutions under
the Sherman antitrust law. Yesterday at
Chicago their attorney made no more than
a formal show OF opposition to the petition
for temporary injunction, which the court
granted The suspicion arises that the trust
feels that it can continue its operations

OF time necessary to enable the government

But there is abundance of evidence to show
that they are In agreement upon all matters

characteristics Of a trust, they possess the
practical solidarity of one.

Attacking the Army From Ambush.

The Star on Yesterday commented on the
reckless character of some of the testimony
being given before the Senate Philippine
committee with relation to the operations
of the army in the archipelago. An addi-
tional word may properly be said today on
the same subject.
This paragraph is taken from the press
report of yesterdays debate in the Senate:
Mr.. Bacon read letter from an army
officer, for whom he vouched and whom
he knew personally, describing in vivid Ian
guage a reconcentrado camp. The letter
said this camp was located in a Soggy place,
where rain fell continually and outside Of
which every living thing was shot In that
camp there were thirty cases of smallpox
and five cases were added each day. Clouds
of vampire bats circled softly over the
place awaiting the dead coming to them
every day. The camp was like some sub
urb of hell
Mr. Bacon said that when Congress
should undertake such an investigation as
it ought to make it will be found that the
description is a picture of many Of those
camps
Why was the name of this officer with
held? Was it at his own request? Most
likely. And why did he make the request ?
We shall probably be told that he could
not afford the publication of his name. He
would be dealt with severely for thus criti-
cising the conduct of his superiors. He Is
a soldier, sworn to obedience and loyalty.
And yet he seeks to evade his OATH He
endeavors to do under cover what he dare
not attempt in the open. With an under
standing that he is not to be exposed to
any penalty, he puts himself at the service
of those who seem anxious and willing to
use anything and everything calculs ted to
bring odum upon the American arms in the
Philippines.
And yet it is not stated that this man has
sent in his resignation. If his story is true
and his object in communicating it worthy
one, why does he not resign? He is an Of
ficer. and that means of escaping further
connection with a campaign so revolving is
open to him. Does his pay prevent? Is
he willing for hard cash to lend his aid to
work which revolts his proud and humane
soul so profoundly? And if he can be
hired to assist in such practices, what faith
is to be put in his sneaking protests and
revelations? What man will believe in lofty
sentiments proceeding from one who shares
in what he denounces. and befouls his COM
rades from ambush?
Mr. Foraker In dealing with the matter
said he preferred the statements of Of
ficers who had given their names to the
public. Everybody prefers such statements.
And fortunately for the army and the coun-
try there are plenty Of such statements,
and they deny generally and specifically all
yarns of unsigned or concealed authenticity
which have for their object the traducing
OF the American name before the world
and increasing American difficulties in the
Philippine archipelago.

A Promise Kept.
From the Pl iladelphia Press.

From the Fl 1IadeIDh1a Press.
The American garrison withdrew from
Cuba yesterday and the Cuban replaced
the American flag exactly as was pledged
and promised four years ago. England is
still in Egypt and has no intention Of leav-
ing. The Soudan, conquered in the khe-
dives name, is administered by England
and under the English flag. France retains

to redress certain grievances is still held
So does England hold Alden. Russia has
never surrendered Batoum or made 1t q
free port, as was promised. The world is

the world doubted-so our promises in the
Philippines will be kept.

Hauling Down the Flag.

The flag has been hauled down. 1t was
done by a major general Of the army under
orders from the President Of the United
States. There can be no doubt about the
fact Witnesses by the thousands sur
rounded the scene, and cheered Justify
Therefore. the anti-imperialists want to
hear no more CANNON about the flag stay
ing put. That sort of talk will do for the
marines. but when addressed to men OF
sober thought it must necessarily in future
provoke a smile.
And yet the flag came down in obedience
to an express promise. Everybody was told
when 1t was raised that it would fly only
until a successor could be prepared. There
were people who refused to believe the state
ment. There were others who hoped that
the promise would be broken. But all who
had ears to hear and faith in the plighted
word of the American government were ad-
vised of the significance of the appearance
of the flag in Cuba and knew that it's days
there were in honor numbered. 1t was
hauled down because 1t had accomplished its
appointed task
The thing to be considered then is not the
hauling down of the flag, but what was
done under its protecting folds while 1t
few. 1t is a splendid story. We have
nothing superior to IL to snow mere at nome.
Our western history recalls some rapid
work In building up waste places, in es-
tablishing cities and schools and good gov
eminent, but our work in Cuba ranks with
the best performances of that period. In
the brief space of four years We have given
peace to a distracted people, encouraged
them to take up their daily tasks again,
guided them in new paths of industry, and
now have turned their island over to them
in a condition promising happiness and
prosperity to every worthy citizen on it.
And their leaders. one and ALL sincerely ac
knowledge the value of the services we have
rendered.
We can well afford therefore to let the
anti-imperialsts have their little fling.
There is no point scored against us in the
matter of the Philippines. The flag was
raised there without conditions to Its
permanency. 1t may fly there a thousand
years without the violation of a single OBJ
legation And while it does fly we may be
very certain that order and industry and
prosperity will be forwarded for the gen.
eral welfare. Manila Is showing already,
to as great a degree as are Havana and

Now comes the merry side-show man
Outside the tent, with pipe and drum,
To lure as many as he can
With various coins to swell his sum.
And some there be who pass him by
With lofty philosophic air;
And others heed his call and try
For one short while to Danish care.

Or he whom fancy doth engage
To smile, nor question why nor how?
