WAS to be twenty-five luscious Geor-
gia watsrmelons. The day before the

plugged and poured a pint Of cham

looked wise, and before the affair was
over every farmer was Slipping the

CEATTLE and Tacoma love one

Omaha, Neb., April 24.-The Bust
ness Mems Association OF Omaha
has issued statement showing that
more than 800 business men OF the
city have banded together to fight
the different labor organizations,
each pledging himself to assist any
member who has trouble with his
employees.
The National Manufacturers Asso-
citation Is said to be behind the move
mentin Omaha, and it is further said
that this city has been chosen by
that organization to fight the labor
organizations to a finish.
Should this prove true there is no
doubt that labor unions throughout
the country would support the
Omaha unions and the fight would
be a long one.

Japan Prepares for Trouble.

Yokohama, April 24.-Three jap
anese war ships have been ordered to
Newchwang, the principal port OF
Manchuria. Marquis Ito is holding
secret conferences with the leading
japanese statesmen.
The Japanese press insists on Wig
orous action, confident that United
States, as well as Great Britain, will
support Japan.
Manchuria occupies 375, 000square
miles and comprises nearly one-tenth
OF China's total area. 1t is twice as
large as Japan proper, six times
larger than England and Wales,
could hold California, Oregon and
Washington together, and is double
the size Of New England, with New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
combined.

sions.
On one pretext and another, Rus
STA has kept IA large armed force in
the country, and recently the num-
Der OF railroad guards" who are
really regular soldiers, has been in
creased to $4,000 OF more, though
Russia had agreed to completely
evacuate the territory by October
next.
China has only this week consider
ed the advisability OF demanding that
the number OF railroad guards" be
reduced to 1000.
The latest move OF Russia will nee.
( essarily run counter to the interests
OF all those who marched on Pekin
at the time OF The Boxer insurrec-
ton.
1t may mean war with England
and Japan, whose interests will be
most vitality affected-or it may
mean the signal for land grabbing
movement among the great powers,
which will result in the complete dis
memberment OF China.

Packers Not to Appeal.

Chicago, April 22.-Notice OF de-
fault was filed in the cases OF the
beef packers alleged trust to-day by
the federal attorneys because OF the
failure OF the packers to make an
swer to the petition, that they be
permanently enioined before the time
limit set by the court expired. The
petition asked that they be restrain
ed from forming and operating a
trust and was filed May 10 last. A
temporary injunction was granted
by United States Judge Grosscup
May 81 on the failure of the packers
cousel to defend his cliepts in court.
August 4 the packers filed a de-
murrer. Later a preliminary iniunc.
ton followed and the packers were
given until April 81 to make a final
answer.
To-day they announced their in
tention to stand by the issues raised
in the demurrer, OF an insufficiency
and multifariousness. Sixty days
yet remain for them to appeal. A
final decree will be entered this week,
and they may ask the supreme court
to reverse this. But the failure to
fight the case thus far, prompts the
belief that no appeal will be taken.

Missouri and Pennsylvania,
PHILADELPHIA Record.

Philadelphia Record,
The Prees gives it's readers long
homily over the "dishonored State"
of Missouri in connection with the
recent revelations OF fragrant legisla
tive corruptions which the authori-
ties are relentlessly prosecuting.
That State, onr contemporary finds,
has been under control OF the Demo.
cratic party for thirty years, and the
Press complacently draws the con-
clusion that this abhorrent condi-
ton OF affairs is due to the lewd
Democracy. In perusing the malo,
dorous details of Missouri scandals
which the Press spreads before its
readers with so much junction. as evil
dence OF Democratic wickedness
doubtless more than one follower OF
the Pennsylvania machine rolled up
his eyes and piously congratulated
himself on the virtue OF his party.
Comparisons are odious, but by
the same token Pennsylvania has
been almost continuously in control
Of the Republican party for more
than thirty years. The striking diff
ference in the recent political history
OF the two States is that while Demo-
cratic District Attorneys and Judges
and iuries in Missouri are driving the
boodlers into the Penitentiary or in
to Punishment, in Pennsylvania far
more daring legislative iniquities
have been practiced with entire I'M
punity. So far from being u dis.
honored State, it is in the highest
degree creditable to the people oil
Missouri that they are, without dis.
tinction of party, supporting with all
the energy Of outraged public opinion
the vigorous efforts OF their authori
ties to bring the corruptionists to
justice.
