As TO Steel Pricae

The announcement that there will
be no more reductions at present in
iron or steel prices is interesting, but
how much or little importance should
attach to 1t as forecasting the course
of the trade during the next few
months is matter of judgment A
safe forecast Of the future of prices
would seem to be that they will contin-
ue weak and with a declining tendency
until the level is reached at which they
will be attractive to customers. The
impossibility Of fixing that level is due
to the effect of influences wholly ex-
ternal to the trade which create or
destroy confidence. Those who think
that the economies effected during
the past few years have been shared
with the consumer to his satisfaction
are probably not well informed.-N New

MISTAKEN CHARITY.

Indiscriminate giving to beggars Is
one of the most fruitful sources of
thriftlessness and crime. 1t encour-
ages pauperism and yet many good
people cannot bring themselves to the
point Of refusing to do such acts Of
mistaken and harmful kindness. The
remedy for the evil must be admins
tered by the police authorities and the
charitable organizations.
Some of the Columbus city officers
and the superintendent Of the Asso-
ciated Charities have wisely agreed to
break up the habit of street begging
here. Any beggar who plies bis trade

system, and hence is less liable than

impostors.
The best way for charitable citizens
to make their benevolence count is to
send mendicants who apply to them
for aid to the Associated Charities and
to contribute to the support of the IN
stitution. Street begging Is a curse
to any city and 1t ought to be wiped

Hunting "Preserves."

The steady concentration of the hunt
ing and fishing privileges of Ameri-
ca into the possession of clubs is IL
lustrated by the reported lease of
George w. Vanderbih's famous North
Carolina estate, Biltmore. A club of
10 members will thus have a monopoly
of l25,000 acres. 1t is true that In this
case the land was already monopoliz-
ed by single owner, but this is not
true OF The holdings OF most of the
new clubs which are being organized
all over the country. The obvious fact
is that there is no longer. as formerly,
enough game for everybody who cares
to shoot or fish, and the time is near
at hand when sport of this kind will
be, as in England, the prerogative OF a
privileged few.-Springfeld Republi-

ALASKA INDIANS AS
VIEWED BY GEN.
FUNSTON
Some Are DociIe and
Well Disposed
HIS RECOMMENDATIONS

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 25-The war
department has received the special
report OF General Funston on his re-
cent inspection of army posts in Alas
ka.
General Funston says that the
Thlinket Indians living along the
coast of Alaska east and south of the
Copper river appear to be prosperous
in every way. The discouraging fea-
lures regarding their conditions are
the prevalence of tuberculosis and
their fondness for liquor.
The Yukon Indians, he says, are in
a more primitiye state, so far as their
mode of life Is concerned, than the
Tblinkets but could not be called saw
ages. They are docile und well dis
posed people. General Funston devotes
considerable space to describing the
mode Of life of the Alaskan Indians,
and says:
obviously II the EsquimauX we're
placed under control Of the department
of the interior, the work of introduc-
ing Siberian reindeer and instructing
the natives in their care and use should
be done by the same department in or
Ger to obtain thebest results and avoid
friction The introduction of reindeer
should be pushed as much es possible.
Under no circumstances should rati-
fications be distributed graciusly."

Ilanna's attitude toward the presi-
dency is shown by Washington dis
patch in which Senator Platt, who has
been favoring Hanna, is said to have
given up and now is for Roosevelt be-
cause of the fact that he cannot help
himself The dispatch referred to is
in part as follows
Senator Platt was today be-
sieged for explanations of the New
York Hanna presidential boom revival
"Therc is nothing to do but nomi-
nate President Roosevelt" he sail.
You couldn't cram the nomination
down Hannas throat. If had Hanna
by the throat with one hand and the
nomination in the other. l couldn't
force him to swallow it." he added.
Senator Hanna threw up both hands
when he heard the word boom" {"
What, again?" he exclaimed. News
must be playing out" He was told of
Senator Platt's first remark. Senate
Hanna laughed "Platt knows his bus
iness," he said
And he said, Senator, that If he had
you by the throat with one hand and
the nomination in the other he
couldn't force you to swallow it."
"Platt's about right" commented
the Ohio man.

GOVERNMENT FAILS
IN MORROW CASE
DEMURRER OF DEFENSE
SUSTAINED.
Morrow Congratulated
on Outcome.

No Evidence Presented to Connect Him
With Naturalization Frauds = Cis "ict
Attorney Announced That He Wou
Nolle Prose- All the Other Gases
st. Louis, Nov. 25.-When court con-
vened at o'clock this afternoon in the
case of the United States VS.. "Al' Nor
row, charged with naturalization
frauds, District Attorney Dyer an
nounced that the government rested its
case. The defense, through Attorney
Lehman, Immediately filed a demurrer
requesting the discharge of his clients
on the grounds of insufficient evidence.
He dwelt particularly on the testimony
three conversations which the latter
had at the hotel with Morrow. Attor-
ney Lehman made the point that no
evidence had been presented by the
government which indirectly or direct
ly coupled Morrow with the handwrit-
ing on the fraudulent certificates, or
that Morrow had personally made out
the papers. The arguments used in
presenting the demurrer took up three
quarters Of an hour. Judge Adams up
held the demurrer of the trial of Nor
row and Thomas e. Barret charged
with conspiring with Jos. J. Gillick to
aid naturalization frauds.
Judge Adams said that the question
to be decided was not whether the de-
fendant, Morrow aided or abetted 9TH
er persons In securing fraudulent ma
turalization papers, but whether he en-
tered into a conspiracy to do so, as
charged in the Indictment.
The questions of forgery of natural
ization papers and unlawfully securing
them were not to be considered. the
court held. The evidence of the gov
ernment had not shown Morrow guilty
of conspiracy and therefore the de-
murrer was sustained.
Later Judge Adams sustained the de-
murrer in Barret's case. Thereupon
District Attorney Dyer announced that
he would nolle PROSE- the other eight
cases in which Morrow was indicted on
similar grounds, saying that If he
could not prove the conspiracy in one
case he could not prove it in another.
After the decision of the court had
been announced, Senator Cockrell and
Governor Dockery congratulated Nor
row on the outcome of the trial.

The Harrison Baum case is a closed
incident unless a new trial is granted,
which is not likely. The conviction
was upon purely circumstantial evil
de1ce. The jury heard all the testi-
mony and was in better position than
any one else to reach a conclusion.
The public generally will accept the
verdict without question. Marion
Erase is cripple for life as a result
of the crime. Harrison Baum will
spend several years in the peniten-
tiary. If he is guilty, he is paying a
heavy price for a cowardly revenge,
which was not warranted by any
wrong that Erase had done him. IL
the young man is innocent, he will
be victim Of circumstances and mis-
