RAILROAD BILL UP
BUT KNOCKED HIGHER THAN
Than GiIroy's Kite in the Senate
By the Railroad HireIinss.
That Ought not to Be.
LEGISLATORS IN SENATE
Do the Bidding of the Railroads and Most
Shamefuy Betray the Party Platform
And all Their Constituents.

Last Friday the senate indefinitely
postponed the Tolman-Dix railroad
commission bill and that measure,
which embOdies the declarations of
of both the republican and democratic
platforms, is dead as Julius Caesar.
The vote stood % to II. The senate
did not kill the bill before there had
been a thorough discussion of it. For
three hours Oratory was poured out on
the senate floor by both friends and foes
of the bill. Nearly the entire discus
sion was of II political nature. The
speakers avowed discussing the merits
of the bill itself, and talked politics.
Governor Mcbride, the foremost
champion of the bill, was vehemently
denounced by the opposition and warm
ly defended by his friends.
The crowds that packed tho lobby
oyerowed inside the rail- listened to
the fiery debate and frequently the
speakers were interrupted by applause.
The fire test vote came on the motion
of Senator Tolman to adopt the report
of the minority of the railroad commit
tee which recommended the passage of
the bill.
Three hours interviewed between the
making of the motion and the vote, but
when the vote was taken it resulted as
follows:
Yeas-Angle, Crow, CARRIER, Graves
HALEY, Hallett, Hammer, McKenney,
Moultry, Rasher, Reser, Sharp, Splawn
Tolman, Warburton, Welty, Wilson

Rands, Ruth, Smith (Snohomish) Stan
sell. Stewart, Sumner, Tucker, Van
devanter, WEIGH, Smith.-25.
Immediately following the vote the
roll was called on motion of Chairman
Baker of the railroad committee for
the adoption of the majority report,
which was to indefinitely postpone the
bill. This motion prevailed by identi-
cally the same vote as the previous
roll call.

These observations from one re-
Gently general commanding the Brit
ish army are interesting, and the dis
cussions in the. English press and par
lament, since the South African war,
would seem to sustain him.
His objection to civilian war minis
ters is certainly not irrational. We
have the same system and 1t was de-
yised primarily to meet the objection
that if military veteran is placed at
the head of the war office, he might
play Caesar and win the loyalty Of the
army, and declare himself dictator.
It was devised secondarily to provide
another office for civilian who had
performed valuable political service
for his party. In England and in this
country there have been war minis
tiers who have not even rudimentary
knowledge of military terms and war
material, or Of the training and set
ting up Of soldiers. We have been
caught in a somewhat unprep;.,ed
condition ourselves on two occasions,
the revolt of the slave states, and the
breaking out Of the war with Spain.
BY superior ability in the art Of hust-
ling, and at much larger cost than
under preparedness, we got the effec-
tive whip hand in control, and it is
morally certain that we shall not, I'M
der our more recent army legislation,
notably the organization Of the gen
eral staff, be caught in such unready
condition again. Unreadiness is ire
mendously expensive. The hustling
to get ready for war ina1S61-82 was
estimated by General Vincent to have
cost the country, when he wrote,
twenty years ago, the formidable sum
Of $3,14S,447,63S. This, however, was
only portion Of the real loss. Pre-
paredness for war is not near so cost
ly as unpreparedness

A Forward Step.

;fhe movement for reciprocity with
Canada shows unexpected vigor. Hard
~ mentioned in the papers two years
ago, fully two-thirds of the influential
daily papers of the country are now
warmly supporting reciprocity with
Canada, and there is no subject more
generally discussed on editorial pages.
1t may be that the American
awakening to the Importance of bet
ter and more friendly commercial re-
flations with our northern neighbor
has come too late. 1t may be that
when this country is at last prepared
to make Canada a fair and generous
offer, it will be too late to secure con-
sideration for it on the other side of
the lire in the same spirit.
# 1T must not, however, be hastily as
stunned that it is too late-many a
battle has been won late in the day.

Maintaining Order.

The riOtOuS street car strikers In
Chicago have been handled with the
mailed fist instead of the lily fingers OF
Cancellation. Violence has been met
with force. The striker who hurls
bricks feels the conclusion of the po-
-licemans club.
At last Chicago seems to be thoroly
aroused to the knowledge that there
is great difference between a strike
and. riot. A strike is merely the
leaving of work by body of men, but
when those men begin to assault men
who elect to take the empty places and
to destroy property they become some
thing more and far worse than strik-
ers. Strikers may be and often are
in the right: rioters never. In Chi
cago, however, -rioting has come to be
regarded as a quasi-legi timate instru-
ment in prosecuting strike to sue
cessful conclusion, it being we'll under
stood that many strikes would fail
without either mob or individual
violence or both. But this time there
is a difference. ..-
Any person who has been in Chicago
during the last day or two knows that
the local government is asserting it's
power For eight miles person can
walk the streets without ever being
more than fifty feet away from a
policeman, and the passing street cars
each carry an escort Of four police
men--and all of these officers are
ready for an attack at any moment.
There has been no playing with the
fire, no waiting for overt acts. but
readiness to beat down ruthlessly the
least attempt at violence. That there
has been disorder and active interior
ence with the operation of the street
cars does not in the least detract from
the force of the foregoing. Ten thou
sand soldiers could not prevent the
throwing Of an occasional brick or the
barricading Of a street car line, with
such a desperate mob to deal with as
there is in Chicago, but at no time
has the mob got the upper hand and
firmly and severely The police have
succeeded in. depriving the strikers Of
the use of an unlawful weapon-ef-
fective violence. The result is that the
street car company has had no great
difficulty in securing men to replace
the strikers. and will probably win it's
contest with the men,
We cannot undertake to pass upon
the merits of this strike, but certainly
the strikers can not complain if they
lose after having appealed to the arbi-
trament' of the strike.' They will
simply be losing at their own game.
If they lose simply because order has
been fairly we'll maintained: and would
have won. if order had not been
maintained, no one will sympathize
with their complaints against the
police. eGovernment must be impartial
In strikes. 1t cannot permit one party
to the struggle to profit and the other
to suffer thru its failure to do its
duty.

EAR TO LOAF IN THIRTY MINUTES

A loaf of bread has been on exhibition
at Mark Lane which was the result of a
record making experiment at Blockley,, in
Worcestershire. Ats:30 o'clock one morn
ing Messrs, Taylor & Sons, of the Sheaf
House farm. Blockey, started to cut a
field of wheat. AS fast as the sheaves were
cut they were started to the granary, and
there threshed and winnowed. These .oper-
ations. says the Western Daily Press, took
6h minutes. Thence the wheat was taken
to the mill Sf j. II. Painton and there
ground and dressed in 51s minutes. At the
adjacent bakehouse the flour was made
into dough and nodded into cakes and
loaves. Seven small loaves were taken
from the oven at 9 Soclock--thirty minutes
from the time the wheat was standing un-
cut. The larger loaves were finished In
forty minutes. One was sent to the king
and others were presented to Lady North
wich and Lord Redesdale.

An Unready Nation.

There is no doubt that Japan's APP

passionate purpose of fighting Russia
ally, Great. Britain, who is con-
ditionally bound by the Anglo
Japan treaty of 1902 to use
her naval and military resources in
Japan's behalf in case the latter is at
tackled by any other power. Great
Britain does not want another war on
her hands so soon after her costly ex-
perience in South Africa. There is
hardly any pretense to-day among
candid Englishmen that the British
army is any more effectively organized
than it was before that conflict. Brit
ain has many more men who have
been under. fire and who have learned
the folly Of fighting in close order.
Organized intelligently, the survivors
of the sBoer war would be strongly
efficient. On the sea, Great Britain.is
credited with irresistible power, but
even in this respect a number of her
own naval authorities say she enjoys
that reputation more on paper than In
hard fact.
A London cable quotes General
Lord Wolseley as saying in his new
book Of personal military experience
that the English people are never
ready for war and they have never
had cabinet which would dare tell
them the truth, known to all thought

fact is known in every war office in
