TIE MEAT TRUST.

OMETHING is ALWAYS Happening
- to send prices up. A suggestion of
drovs1 starts wheat soaring, usually
after the farmer has disposed Of his
crop. An imaginary shortage in the
production Of corn furnishes an excuse
Tor erowding the price Of cattle to the
topmost notch. But, mind you, the
price Of cattle didn'5 begin to ascend
until after the greater part of the visi-
bic supply had been safely corraIled in
the yards of the Meat trust. That's
tie strange tnmg about these sudden
rises. They don't occur until it is no
longer possible for the producer to
share in the benefits.
The present condition OF the meat
market may well excite the gravest Of
apprehension in the minds Of the Amer
lean people. For years we have been
wont to boast Of the well-fed condition
Of our Workingmen. stump speakers
have elaborated on this happy condi-
tion and have pointed pridefuHy to the
fact that &c the European laborer has
meat on his table once a week he con-
siders himself fortunate beyond his
deserts. In this country. on the other
hand, few workers have been so poor
that they were unable to buy meat
every day.
Meat has ceased long since to be
luxury with Them, 10 has become an
absolute necessity, just as much a ne
cessity as an and water Now a great
many Of them VIII have to find out
how they can set along without It. Men
who work hard for themselves and
their families need nourishing meat.
They cannot continue at their labor for
a very long period without It. Vegeta-

who dig in the bitches and labor on
the highways must have flesh and

requirement so completely as whole

1t IS hard. therefore, TO md words Of
condemnation severe enough for a COM

DIRECTOR ROBERTS EXPLAINS.

DIRECTOR OF THE MINT Roberts,

opposition 20 the establishment of more
assay osdces. He admits in this article
that ne told Senator Rawlins that
whatever the situation had been in the
past. god mining was not now a Ian
guihing Industry. but able to stand
alone. Thus, inferentially. Mr.. Roberts
admits the correctness of Senator Raw
Inns charge that he does desire to cur
tail the gold output.
COLD mining is not an infant indus
try ia lhis country. Since TIE dis
eovery at Suffers mill in California in
1889. it has grown by leaps and bounds
until it is most prominent factor in
the business OF the nation. So rapidly
has it grown, in fact. that Mr.. Roberts.
though he may evade the issue direct
ly, fears that the day is not far distant
when it Will be necessary. in order to
make money dearer, To demonetize the
yellow metal. Assay Offices do tend 10
stimulate god production. Just as GER
t9inly a lack OF assay offices tends TO
discourage it. Mr.. Roberts is begging
the question when he lodges 10 the 'in-
FAINT iadustrvf IDEA.
Tt is refreshing, too, ia find a Repub-
nean. occupying a high Office, who is
willing TO admit that at least one in
dnstry in the land is no longer III need
Of protection. There are others right
at the door OF 1fr. Roberts il ne cares

Steel corporation is a sample Does Mr..
Roberts consider that mammoth COM
bination with its net profits of $4,000
900 every month a ''languishing indus

ministration continues to give it all the
protection possible by permitting it 70

it sells the same product in Philadel-
pilia.
Is the Beet Sugar trust a 'Ianguish-

Republicans apparently think so for

peuss Of Cuba. IL is possible to find
other IanguishinE" industries. that
are being fostered at the expense Of
the people without the shadow of ex-
case if Mr.. Roberts cares TO look for
them The trouble is that III. Roberts
doesn't view this matter through the

SALARY DECISION.
st. Louis Legal Publication Makes
Pointed Comment.

central Land Journal)
The tendency of the day TO fret un-
der constitutional restraints and to
make these great charters of our lib
critics so much blank paper by con-
struction whenever the expediency of
the hour seems to require it, is one of
the dangerous signs of the times and
one against which the lawyer, above
all others, should set his face Ike a
flint. In the recent case Of state VS..
Ilngey, 81 Pac. Rep. SO, the supreme
court OF Utah goes out OF its way to
leSltimatiZe the action Of the legisla-
ture in attempting to increase the sal
airy OF the governor during his term of
ONCE. The constitution provides that
state officers shall receive for their
services a compensation as fixed by
law. which shall not be diminished
or increased 50 as to affect the salary
OF any officer during his term, and that
the compensation of the officers named.
until otherwise provided by law, is
fixed as follows" etc. The court holds
the constitutional provision to mean
that the salaries shall remain as there
in stated until changed by the legisla-
ture. and that thereafter no salary
shall be increased OF diminished so as
10 affect the salary OF any officer dur
ing his term.
The argument on which this decision
rests is the merest bubble. The con-
stitutiOnal provision against increasing
the emOlumentS Of public officers dur
ing their term of Office are founded on
the strongest reasons of public policy
and have always been strictly enforced.

course, where the Constitution does not

with fixing the salary, if they have not
done so before the officers election,
may do so afterwards WheelOck vs..

the salary until otherwise provided by

say thaC in such case the compensation
is not fixed by law" As between a
provision Of the constitution and an
act of the legislature, the former does
not take any inferior place as the law
OF the land. While an act of the leg1s-
lature should be extended every pre-
sumption possible in favor Of its valid
ity, it certainly cannot be permitted to
override the plain wording of the con-
stitution.

a CORONATION suMpus.

\ VERY PRETTY RUMPUS is on
Il over the coronation seats in West
minister abbey. Some very prominent
titled Englishwomen are wondering
whether or not they ought to go, for
the company they viii keep on that mo-
mentous occasion will not be. altogether
to their liking. It has developed that
several British peeresses. graduated
from the chorus girl brigade, have de-
termined to assert their rights and ap-
pear at the coronation in all the fuss
and feathers to which they are unques-
tionably entitled. II they persist in
.heir plans they must necessarily be
seated close up TO the real aristocrats.
For instance, Rosie Boote, who once
charmed London with a display of
hosiery, is now the AIarchioness Of
Headfort. According to time-honored
precedent she viii sit with the Mar
choiness of Bath, d Christian Scientist
Of ancient lineage and ultra exclusive
ness. Then there is Connie Gilchrist,
who set all the London JOhnnies wild
with her flesh tights creations not
many years agone. Now she is the
Countess of Orkney and none can gain
say her right TO sit with the Countess
OF Seafeld, a Presbyterian of the blue
nosed" variety
Another interesting character is ''Jol-
ly' Belle Billion, countess Of Clancarty.
Time was when Belle skipped serenely
over the gsyety boards and thought
night was lost that did not count at
least a dozen 'mashes." She viii walk
down the aisle and occupy a pew with
the Countess of Enroll, who traces her
ancestry back to the Normans and
ranks with the proudest Of the titled
folk.
The three soubrettes mentioned have
applied for cards. Under the British
custom every peeress, whether she has.
been presented at court or not, is en-
titled to attend. Each one is to be al
lowed just sixteen inches of space in
which to sit in the abbey, so it viii be
seen that The soubrettes will crowd
their proude4 sisters TO the last degree
Of perspiration.
In the United States the troubles Of
the English aristocrats viii cause only
amusement, but it must be understood
that to the peevesses the trouble about
the soubrettes is far from imaginary.
OF course those VINO sit next 10 them
viii be sadly contaminated. They viii
never be able to hold up their heads
again unless they remember that once
upon a time the king himself had a

M,K1NLEY AND THE LABoRER.
Wanted to Help the President Settle
the Chinese Question.


James A. Hoyt, the well known cor
poratlon lawyer of Cleveland, tells this
characteristic story Of Mr.. Mckinley:
Il was seated on the lawn in front
Of his home in Canton, talking to the
president, when he was called up on
the long distance telephone. The in
strument was situated very near long
window which extended down almost
to the ground, and directly under the
window was a faucet, TO which a hose
was attached for Watering the lawn.
On the other end of the phone were
Secretaries Root and Hay. and the
question they submitted 10 the presi-
dent was the delicate one, whether Cen
eral Chaffee should place himself and
his troops under the direction Of the
German commander, Count Won Wal
dersee.
They had just begun to discuss the
matter when a laborer came in from
the street. walked across the lawn to
the window, and commenced to I'LL his
pail at the faucet The noise rendered
conversation over the phone impossible.
and the president demonstrated and
asked John TO wait until he finished
talking. John aequiesced, but. remain
ing where he was, craned his neck and
listened intently to the discussion with
in. After a half hour or so, and when
the memorable message had been sent,
the president said:
John, you may 80 ahead now
John recommenced filing his pail
Reckon you'll settle that Chinese
business pretty soon, he said, won't
you?'
I hope we shall was the reply.
Then up spoke John again:
Well. you needn't be 9 bloOmin' bit
more yieldin' than you want TO be, for
we're all back OF you
Thank you, John, was Mr.. McKin-
ley's simple response.
