A New Deal for ireland.

The Irish land bill failed in the last ses-
sion Of the English parliament The
measure did not meet the Irish nationalist
party's demands. Since then, there seems
to have been developed a tendency on the
part, of the English conservatives to recog-
nize the fact that it is useless any longer
to attempt to Anglicize Ireland or to stand
in the way Of rational Irish home rule
with the Irish demand for the extinction
Of 1andlordism or the abolition Of the
dual system Of proprietorship. Such dis
tinguished Irish nationalist as John Red
naond has abandoned the Parnell program
Of an independent Ireland, and, in re-
cent speech said the chief thing desired
was to obtain for the Irish people a
chance OF living in peace and prosperity
on their own soil, and he remarked that
he believed q measure to be presented in
parliament would soon become law and
bring about the desired changes under the
crown. "
The late conference at Dublin Of Irish
landlords and tenants came to an agree
ment touching the transfer OF the land
lords inter ests to the tenant element,
practically handing the proprietorship of
the lands to the tenants on terms agreed
to between the latter and the landlords.
The resolutions Of the Dublin conference
will be rresented to the English parlia-
ment. II this scheme Is given statutory

that the universe has slipped a cog in the
night? Don't you know that the man
to whom you take your tale of woe sees
in it confession OF weakness OH your
part and that in nine cases out Of ten
you are condemned out of your own
mouth? More times than not, the whole
trouble arises from your having too high
an opinion of your deserts and too low
a one of your neighbours. II success has
marked you for it's own, If you are going
to rise superior to sour hindrances, you
are going to ignores what you can Of I'M

A Righteous Judge.

United States Circuit Judge Grosscup
of Chicago will be hailed by the American
people as just Judge. In granting, yes
terday. a temporary injunction against
the beef trust, he dealt out justice as the
people understand it, Moreover his
opinion is one that a child can under
stand. $3.50.
Judge Grosscup brushes away all be-
wildering hair-splitting niceties and finds:
First-Tl1at the evidence shows that a
combination of packers exists.
Second-That the combinat ton is in re-
straint of trade.
Third-That taken as a whole the com
merce carried on by the combination is
Of an interstate nature and subject to fed
eral law.
There are three facts that nobody would
dispute, except in some technical legal
sense, as a lawyer might dispute them to
the advantage Of his client. .a:s
AS to the facts bearing on restraint of
trade, Judge Grosscup finds that such
practices as the joint bidding up OF. the
price Of cattle merely to attract large
supply which is subsequently bought at
low prices, and various acts intended to
establish a uniform high price to the con-
sumer are unquestionably in restraint of
trade. #:Ne
The high price of beef last summer was
not wholly due to the beef trust. We
should have had high beef il there had
been no trust, but the agitation at that
time served to bring out the most obiec-
tlonable practices on the part of the trust.
The practice, for instance, of making an
essentially artificial price in: order to at
| tract offers of cattle to be subsequently,
purchased at an equally artificially made
low price was substantially business under
false pretences. It is a practice that is
ru1nous to the cattle raisers and diyerts
to the combine all the profits of the bust
ness, however high may be the price ex-
acted from the"consumer.fo for meat. I'll z
The combination has been able to ruin
the ,cattlemen on the one hand and prac-
| tice extortion on the consumer on the
other. 1t has been able to make an un-
! earned profit at the expense of both pro-
/ ducer and consumer. -s ~ :. ~s.s.
OF course, if Judge Grosscup's decision
is sustained In the end, the combine will
speedily become a single corporation in
! stead OF an alliance of separate COM
panies. But we have hopes that ere long
there will be legislation that will keep
even the big compact corpora ton from
playing the part of a robber.

Knocking" Reciprocity.

Our Washington correspondent gives us
to-day an interview with Congressman,
Eddy in which he expresses himself as
hopeless OF any sort of reciprocity with
Canada except in natural products. Mr.
Eddy is convinced that the Canadians are
bent on initiating the historic American
policy of holding the domestic market for
the domestic manufacturer.
For our part, we are quite willing to
have reciprocity in natural products only
if more can not be obtained. Once rect
procity in any form gets a good fair trial
it will lead to reciprocity in other forms.
At the same time we must say that it
does not help the cause along any for men
like Mr.. Eddy to be telling the Canadians
that they will be wise to follow the Amer
lean policy. Besides, it is by no means
certain that high protective policy is a.
good thing for Canada. even il it ha3 been
sood Tor the United States in the past

Public Examiners Revelations.

Regarding the decision Of the railway
companies operating in Minnesota to pay
100000 as the gross earnings tax On Six
years OF rebates which have hitherto
escaped taxation, the MINNEAPOLIS Tribune
naively remarks in it's news columns
Hereafter the railroads will not make
any report OF rebates or commissions but
will report their gross earnings in lump
sum. leaving the inquiry into the question
OF rebates to be ferreted out by the inter-
state commerce commission.
The truth is that the railway companies
have been sedulously concealing ali evil
dence of rebates, and have only reported
their earnings after deducting rebates.
Moreover the railways would have con-
tinued indefinitely to conceal them if it
had not been for the work Of Public Elk
aminer Johnson in getting authority from
the legislature to check up the railway re-
ports of earnings, and then utilizing that
authority in vigorous and effective fash
ion. The sleepy old railway commission
would have gone OH indefinitely accepting
anything the railroads offered them.
This $4,000 that Mr.. johnson has
brought into the state treasury is only a
part of his good work. In several other
ways he has been able to show that the
railroads were not making accurate re-
turns OF their gross earnings. But what
he has earned for the state in this one
matter Of rebates is about twice as much
as he Is asking the legislature to spend
on his department.. It begins to look as
if money spent OH the examinersa office
were first class investment.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
Mr.. Johnson's work has thrown bril-
liant sidelight on this question of rebates.
On Minnesota business alone Mr.. john
son has been able to prove that the rail-
ways have been paying rebates to such an
extent that the gross earnings tax on
them is $4,000 a year. ~ o,..-@,
That means that only on business that
is calculated to be MInnesota's share the
railways that do business In this state
have been paying rebates to the extent OF
more than 100000 Year.
That sum represents good year sprofit
of $50, 900 each for ten fairly large bust
ness concerns.
The amount probably went to more than
that number. but it is a characteristic of
rebates that but few receive them.
Say that fifty large shippers received
sc, 900 apiece in rebates; the sum is large
enough to give each Of them a powerful
advantage over competitors.
It looks as if Mr.. Johnson had been
able to discover some facts that may be
useful to the interstate commerce com
mission. Moreover, If Mr.. Johnson'is per-
mitted and encouraged to continue his
good work we believe that the granting
of rebates will not be so much OF habit
of the Minnesota railways in the future as
in the past, result which the railroads
will profit by as much as any one else.

The western Canadian farmer will not
love the eastern Canadian manufacturer
any more than he will love the American
his interests, and not those of the manu-
facturers made the basis of legislation.
AS the indications are that the agricul-
tural interests Of Canada will be greater
In proportion to those of the manufacture
ers than in any other country in the world,
1t does not follow that, even if high pro-
lection shall win a temporary victory in
Canada, 1t is always to be in the saddle.

Canadian northwest will one day be full
