FIDELITY TO PROPERTY.

LOCRe, Is tllc IlSIlU VI ludhluB laws
for regulating and preserving prop
erty.' There is much harmony Of
sentiment among writer's on Political
Science in making the safety of prop
erty primary purpose of govern
ment. Mr.. Choate, in a recent lau
dation of the republican party, gave
prominent position to its Fidelity to
property" We have no difficulty in
recognizing the value of the praise,
but we have considerable difficulty in
seeing its applicability. We are
tempted to inquire, whose property?
That our present tariff fails to recog
nize the right of man to his own
gains seems to be conspicuous and
fatal defect in it as a measure of gov
ernment.
Take the case of Mr.. Carnegie. We
are the more at liberty to refer to him
as he is public man, as his personal
character is held in the highest es
TEEN, and as his great liberality in
the use of his wealth inclines us to
favorable estimate of the means by
which it has been acquired. Mr..
Carnegie came to the United States,
some fifty years ago, poor boy. He
has secured in that time some two
hundred million dollars. That is a
very extraordinary fact. If wealth to
that amount can be obtained from the
natural advantages of the country,
America is a true Eldorado, or we
have been exceedingly needless in the
division of gains. If that sum has
been reached by normal expenditure
of personal power, then that power is
of marvellous order. 1t has been OBJ
tanned by the ordinary prosecution of
business favored, through long
period, by highly protective tariff.
1t is the result of a distribution de-
termined by governmental favor of
a single occupation. There is no
other secret in this astonishing sue
cess, unless it be in the fact that the
business, by the magnitude Of the
means employed, TENDS TO become a
monopoly; and once established, least
of all forms of industry, needs ex-
traneous support. Is result of this
sort, provided for by government and
constantly dependent upon it, " fidel-
ity to property?'' The thief is faith
full to his own property, but how
about the property of others? By
means of an authority which no man
can cast off or escape, an immense
fortune is accumulated in brief
period with forced contribution from
every household in the land. We
hardly appreciate the largeness of the
result. A city of a hundred thousand
inhabitants might find every one of its
families provided with an inviting

temper, feels impelled to restore to
the community the wealth gathered
from it. Wealth gained in legiti-
mate occupation, prosecuted in
liberal temper, is sure in the process
of acquisition to benefit the COM
munity. 1t brings wholesome pro-
ductive activity to large number, and
multiplies commodities in the market.
Such getting of wealth cannot be
otherwise than good; the giving of it
is much more difficult thing. Mr..
Carnegie is wise in his choice of
methods. Suppose him to return all
his money in the form Of Libraries to
the people, will the result be such
that the government would have been
justified in securing it by it's own
action? This large sum has been
taken, in small amounts. from every
industry in the land, making that in
dustry little less rewardful. The
check has come at the very point Of
growth, and has been Of the nature of
a hardship. The persons who are con-
tributing to these libraries would not
have done it freely; and in most cases
receive but very Indirect advantage
from them. If,by stroke Of the pen,
we could transfer money, gained in
the hard struggle of life, to Libraries.
with no voluntary participation on
the part of those thus providing the
means, would we feel it wise to do
it?
Suppose man to Rave gained
million of dollars by an imperceptible
clipping of coin, and then to have
come under the desire to benefit the
public by this wealth. If it were
possible for him to restore each eagle
and double eagle to it's original val
ue, what better use could he make of
his money? His wisdom would lie
in walking backward to the begin
ming. This would be to put his gains
to their first and best use in all honest
currency, the life blood of commerce.
Our government has put upon Mr..
Carnegie, by All authority exercised
in neglect of the rights Of industry, a
task which no man can perfectly per
form, task of gathering money
in an injurious way and scattering it
again in a manner beneficial. Such a
process cannot be kept in harmony
with the public welfare.
We have been considering the in
ability of the largest liberality to
correct an inherent wrong. But this
is. an unusual incident in our case,
and not the case itself What shall
we say of the much more frequent
result in which no effort is made to
balance getting with giving; in which
wealth is diverted from the processes
| of economy from the masses of men,

FOREST OF CATALPA.

Ind, secretary of the international
Society of Arboriculture, states that
he had been employed by the Illinois
Central railroad to inspect the lands
owned by the system in Mississippi
for the purpose of selecting an area
suited to the experimental planting
of many thousands of catalpa trees.
The purpose Of this experiment. is to
utilize some of the unimproved lands
of the system for the purpose of rails
ing the catalpa tree for crossties, lum.
Der and posts. The Illinois Central
will plant something less than 200, 600
catalpa trees this spring. and figures
that in the course of fifteen years it
will have most valuable forest, in
return from which it may CLEAN thou
sands of dollars worth of lumber,
crossties almost without number and
an abundance of fence posts from the
refuse.
The experiment is not a new
one except for the Illinois
Central, as it has been tried by
several other railroads, and in
Kansas large areas have been set
out from time to time by individuals
as all investment for future profit.
The Kansas City, Fort Scott & Mem
phis railway planted two square miles
of these trees near Fort Scott some
twenty-five years ago, but the expert
ment was largely failure, as the trees
were set four feet apart each way and
were not allowed sufficient area for
growth. The forest of catalpa, how
ever, is being severely thinned out,
the trees being used for fence posts,
and it is thought that the remaining
plants will still mature and reach
the growth that they were expected
originally to develop.
Advised Thinning Them Out.
Mr., Brown was in conference with
the directors at Boston last summer
and advised this thinning out, as his
experience has been that the tree
shows the best growth and quickest
development when set at intervals of
sixteen feet each way, or planted at
eight feet intervals and every other
tree cut out at the end of seven or
eight years This plan gives an orig
inal number of $50 and final num-
Der of 170 trees to the acre.
The Big Four route has recently
planted nearly 10000 trees OH lands
near it's tracks in southern Indiana
The Boston & Maine has 10000 on
lands in Maine. The Maple Leaf,

EXPECT TO ACQUIT WALLER
Friends Of Accused Officer Look for Verdict
Of Not Guilty.
MAJOR PROTESTS HIS OWN INNOCENCE
Admits in His Statement on witness
stand killing Certain FiIipinOs
ana says HI Did
Right.

MANILA, April 11.-Major Littleton W.
T. Waller of the marine corps, who is being
tried by court-martial on the charge Of exc
cutting Samar natives without trial, addressed
the court today. The major said he was either
right or wrong in his actions and added
that he desired to cite hve presidents
which came under the head Of his own
case. He alluded to the naval battle at
Santiago and the humanity he had shown
to Spaniards who were captured, and said
he had many letters from SpanIards thank
ing him for the kindness he had shown
them.
Continuing, the major said that in 1882
he was with the British forces in Egypt,
where Arabs captured pickets of Belgal
cavalry, decapitated the prisoners and
placed their heads on poles. Afterwards
all the Arabs we're caught and shot without
trial. During the campaign in China the
Chinese mutilated the dead and tortured the
wounded to death. Consequently, when a
Boxter or a fanatic was captured he was
executed Immediately without reference.
says IL Is Common Practice.
This was true In the case Of the troops
Of every nation in China. II was true dur
ing the three weeks he commanded the
Americans there. But the same thing &C.
Cured later, when he was no longer in
command. No protest was made and he
had every right to believe that his acts
were approved, so far as the American
forces were concerned. He knew they were
approved by those Of other nations.
ut is impossible to conceive such treach-
cry as that OF the natives Of samar.' said
the major. They revel in blood and have
an appetite for wanton sacrilege OF the
human body. These thieves stole Captain
Connell's class ring, filled the soldiers
body with jam and Jelly and attempted to
murder my command. I shot them. l hon
estly thought then that ! was right, and I
believe so now. Neither my people nor
the world will believe me to be a MUIR
derer."
Captain Arthur T. Mark, marine corps,
representing Major Waller, in a ~forceful
argument, maintained that Walters actions
were justified by martial law, quoting num-
erous authorities on the subject. Captain
Mark also said he regretted that the pros
ecutlon has seen At to call General Smith.
He claimed that all the testimony went to
show that the major was justified.
At the conclusion Of the argument for
the defense the general feeling was that
the result of the trial would be the ac-
quittal OF the major. The Judge advocate,
Major Henry P. Kingbury of the Third cav
airy, will reply to morrow.

UNCLE SAM KNOWS HIM NOT
Former Mail Carrier EndeavOrs TO

in Court.

In the United States circuit court the
case Of A. ]. VanAlstine against the
United States is being tried. VanAlstlne
was the sub-contractor for the delivery OF
mail between the Omaha postofhce and the
depots in 1888. According to his petition
at the time the Transmississippi exposition
was opened in that year he was ordered by
the postmaster to deliver mail In sacks to
a postofice established by the government
on the exposition grounds. This work re-
quired the employment of a large number
Of men not otherwise necessary. He de-
handed Of the postmaster pay for the addi-
tional work. which was refused, and he now
brings suit for $3.50 for services.
In addition to this claim he has another
for tlS5 which he alleges grew out OF the
fact that he was required by the postmas-
ter to carry mail between the postohice and
the Burlington station, which was not
speeined in the original contract. The case
Is defended by the United States on the
ground hat VsnAlstine is not known 10

SHIELDS MUST STAND TRIAL
One of Alleged AssatIants of Victor
walker Held to District" E'ri .
ny Court. " f"o

At the conclusion of the argument last
evening County Judge Vinsonhaler held
Martin Shields, one Of the policemen ac-
cused by Victor Walker of assaulting him
with intent to do him great bodily injury,
to the district court in the sum of $500,
but allowed him to go on his own recogni-
Zance. John Brady he released, as he did
not consider there was probable cause to
believe him guilty. Prince Wheeler, Cyrus
Terrill and Charles Mari, three OF tho
witnesses, were held to the district court,
bond being fixed at 5000 each.
On the witness stand both Shields and
Brady denied emphatically and fatty all the
important allegations OF Walker in his
suit against them for assault with intent
to do great bodily injury. They swear that
Walkers statement that Shields said he
had orders to bump him on was without
orders we're to arrest Walker for carrying
concealed weapons.
The proceedings were interrupted son
hours by an effort on the part OF the attor-
ney for Walker to prevent the introduction
Of evidence intended to show that his client
was a dangerous and vicious man, in deal
ing with whom 1t was we'll to employ sum-
mary methods. The judge finally permitted
the evidence to go in. The court room was
crowded.
When Walker was On the stand an attor-
ney asked: What is this Midway saloon
that has been referred to? What sort of a
place is it,"
ut Is a place where respectable ladies
and gentlemen go to spend their money"
answered Walker. seriously. But the court
smiled and the audience chuckled audibly.

obligation, he said. rested on the United

vOIIey of Inquiries.
Mr.. Long met a volley Of questions from
the opponents Of reciprocity on the repub-
lican side. At various times during his
speech he sustained the fire Of Mr.. Prince
Of Illinois, Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa. Mr.. Need
ham Of California. Mr.. Kahn Of California
and w. A.. Smith Of Michigan.
He ridicuied the republican adversaries
Of reciprocity who. he said. refused 20 yield
any concession to Cuba because they al
lege it threatened the protective system.
but who deliberately proposed to adopt a
revolutionary course to take the differen-
tial off Of refined sugar. which he said had
been placed in the DinEley bill for the
express purpose Of protecting the beet
sugar industry.
NJ Lone nofntod ntt4 that fbo odvar-
saries Of the bill had shifted their ground
since the publication of General Woods
statement that the Sugar trust controlled
only $500 tons Of Cuban sugar. He said
that previous to that those who controlled
the bill charged that the trust had bought
up all the Cuban sugar. Yet now they used
that statement to prove that the trust was
not making large purchases OF sugar, but
was holding of. awaiting the action of con-
gress.
ShafrOth Against
Mr.. shafroth Of Colorado opposed the
bill. He charged that the sentiment in
favor Of concessions to Cuban sugar had
been manufactured by the Sugar trust and
was part Of the war the trust was waging
against the beet sugar industry in Colorado
and other western states.
He read extracts from the report Of the
president Of the Sugar trust before the
Lexow commission and the industrial com
mission to show the methods OF the COM
pany in crushing out it's competitors. Mr..
Shafroth said the bill made a gift OF $4,000,
900 TO somebody and he undertook to dem
o~nstrate that the major portion OF the
money would find it's way into the Golfers
Of the trust.
