THE STRIKE EPrpEMIc.

The present strike epidemic, while GER
tainly very serious, is not the most dis
couraging period that American industry
has ever Witnessed. the New York Even
ing Post points out. In 1877 several
large cities were in the hands of mobs
in consequence of strikes and the militia
were under arms in half dozen states.
Pittsburg was set on fire and the rail-
road shops and depots were consumed.
The government Of Fort Wayne was
temporarily overthrown and its place
taken by a committee Of strikers. A
similar condition Of affairs existed in
some towns of western New York. These
strikes were against a reduction Of
wages. At a later time came the strike
on the Missouri Pacific, marked by much
disorder, and the strike against the Pull
man Car company, which became widely
extended and was characterized by such
lawlessness in Chicago that soldiers of
the regular army were called into requi-
sition. Still later was the strike of the
building trades in Chicago, which
stopped the work of construction in that
city for a year and a half.
The Evening Post remarks that the
main difference between those disturb
ances and the present is that the earlier
ones came in times Of great business de.
preston, while the present ones are CO
incident with the greatest prosperity
that the country has ever known. All
the strikes now, in so far as they relate
to wages, are strikes for an increase, no
against a decrease. The present strike ep
idemic, while quite as formidable as
some that have preceded It, seems to bt
characterized very generally by a bet
ter spirit than formerly was shown
Thus far there has been nowhere, ex
cept on the part of the Italian subway
strikers in New York, any very serious
acts Of violence, such as marked the
strikes above noted, and very generally
organized labor is found to be decidedly
opposed to every form Of lawlessness
This is Improvement which cannot b,
too earnestly commended and which /
is to be hoped will be everywhere main

4 STIRRING DECLARATION.

1t is hardly possible that President
Roosevelt, when In his brief speech at
jacksonville, Cal, he said that the Pa
cihc ocean '1s one which during the
century opening must pass under Amer
lean influence" had any idea that this
declaration would invite serious COM
ment or be anywhere regarded as a
menacing expression Of American ambi-
ton. Yet the German press has taken
the utterance quite seriously and some
American newspapers have expressed
the opinion that the president was not
altogether discreet in what he said. One
journal remarks that unless Mr..
Roosevelt had in mind a gigantic naval
ana political development, as well as a
commercial one, he would not have used
the language that he did" and adds that
there viii be hot times before Mr.,
RooseVelt's forecast comes true; that
Japan, Australia and Russia, which are
| Pacific powers, are not likely to submit
without a certain amount of struggle
Another American newspaper views the
declaration as pretty serious, coming
from such a source. and says: "Whe
the head of a nation, a man invested
with powers beside which those pos
sessed by old world rulers are insig
nihcant, publicly u that the Pa
cihc ocean must pass under American
influence, he is laying down a big propo
sition, and when he goes on to speak o
the coming Of "a great effort and o
paying the price Of greatness he

The comment of the German news
papers is moderate, the general view be
ing that the president simply desired I

garded as an alarming development @

LooTING THE PUBLIC LANDS.
Capitalists and Spectators Raiding
the Public Domain.
Minneapolis Tribune.

One of the last acts OF the senate before
adjournment was to receive a report OF
the public lands committee, recommending
for passage a bill repeating all federal laws
for entry Of public lands but the original
homestead act. The repeal of these laws
has been urged upon congress in the strong
est possible way by the president and the
secretary of the interior in a series of re-
ports and messages. II has been proved
beyond a possibility Of doubt that ad-
vantage has been taken of these acts by
capitalists and SPECTATORS to acquire
~fraudulently lands that will be redeemed
by the policy of federal irrigation.
Unless they can be repealed, 1t Is almost
certain that homestead settlers will derive
no benefit from the expenditure of millions
of dollars TO irrigate arid lands. 30 far
the capitalists and spectators have had
influence enough with congress TO prevent
action. In the meantime the looting Of the
public domain goes on with a rapidly with

DEVELOPING 1LAsK1

A great deal Of interest is being taken
in the development of Alaska, the re-
sources Of which, other than gold, are
believed to be very rich. A party Of
experts Of the United States geological
survey is to be sent to that country in
an effort to locate new gold fields and
also gather accurate and scientific In
formation regarding oil and coal depos-
its that are known to exist, but which
have been neglected up to this time. 1t
is said that the officials Of the geolog-
zeal survey believe that the richest gold
mines that have been worked in Alaska
have reached their maximum output and
that many Of the others are nearing ex-
haustion, particularly the mines at Cape
Nome. The Klondike mines, it is ex-
pected, will hereafter decline in value.
The government officials propose to
maintain public interest in Alaska and
promote its commercial Importance by
opening up new fields for gold prospec-
tors, at the same time making investiga-
ton as to other resources.
Alaskan development viii not be rapid

but this requirement will be provided

that the u will make a railroad

jected investigation by government ex

ton and It will not be surprising II
within the next few years this portion
of our territory, which has many times
repaid what it cost, shall have indus
tries and enterprises that will contribute
more largely than its gold mines to tn,
national wealth.

Battle of the InJunctiOns now Raging
in Omaha.
Chicago Tribune.


Chicago Tribune.
That good old legal jack-in-the-box, the
doctrine Of conspiracy, has bobbed up in
Omaha. 1t has on it's face its usual grin.
II is so pleased with itself! 1t has again
proved it's right to be regarded as the most
ingenious, facetious and tricksome legal
toy that the science Of Jurisprudence ever
devised.
For years its sudden and unexpected
leaps out of its box have served mainly to
aeitate the laboring man. Now, just to
show that no one is beyond it's sphere Of
influence. It has Jumped up under the nose
Of the employer. Its squeak Is just as dis
concerting In one case as in the other.
The Business Mems association of Omaha
is restrained a. from conspiring to break
up labor unions, and ~ from conspiring to
injure employers who favor labor unions.
The principle involved Is closely related
to the principle which led the circuit court
Of Missouri to dissolve the st. Louis Assoc
citation OF Master Plumbers. There must
be no industrial conspiracies. One master
plumber may refuse to deal with another
master plumber, one business man may re-
fuse to deal with another business man.
but when there is an organization which
handles an organized refusal to enter into
dealings, then a situation arises which
gives the doctrine OF conspiracy a chanc
to lift it's head.
If, therefore, the Omaha injunction Is
made permanent the conclusion will be that
the associations of employers which have
lately become 30 popular will be exposed to
the same incalculable jocularities on the
part Of the doctrine Of conspiracy which
association of employees now ind so wear
ing.
For a long time the National Manufac-
turers' association has been resisting the
passage Of the federal anti-conspiracy bill.
This bill provides that in industrial dis
putes nothing which is done by two or more
persons shall be regarded as a conspiracy
unless when done by one person 1t would
be unlawful. Were such a bill passed, in
functions against associations of employees
and of employers-would be more DIM
cult to secure.
Now, let the courts grant a few more In
functions against employers associations.
let the doctrine OF conspiracy turn it's grin
on the prominent citizen as well as on the
obscure artisan, let the sauce which has
been forced down the throat Of the goose
be served up to the gander, n won't the
manufacturers association begin to be con.
verted to the theory that the science of law
is always passing through an evolutionary
process and that occasionally 1t gets rio
OF a dlsused or unnecessary organ, like, fol
instance. the doctrine Of conspiracy
Anyway, whether all this happens or not
the Omaha unions are to be congratulated
on resorting to law rather than to force
Injunctions are preferable as missiles t

sessions and the great interests they
have created assure this. But It will be
mainly a commercial influence, only such
political influence being exerted as shall
be found necessary TO protect and pre-
serve our commercial interests.
AS to a stronger havy, which the presi-
dent urged, It is perfectly apparent that
1t will be necessary for the safeguard
ing Of our commercial interests. 1t is
altogether probable that 1t will be found
expedient to maintain as strong or a
stronger naval force on the Pacific than
on the Atlantic, but at any rate we
should not be weaker in this respect
than the other Pacific powers. We
must provide adequate protection fol
our possessions. There is nothing in
the declaration of President Roosevelt
that should cause alarm or solicitude
anywhere. 1t implies no menace to the
interests of any other country on the
Pacific and so far as we a see the
Monroe doctrine is not involved to the
slightest extent. American influence ir

time be far greater than that of any
other power, but 1t will not be exertet

a WORD WIrH AIR. LoBECK.

@. o. Lobeck enjoys a fair reputation
as a citizen and public officer. He made
a good record in the legislature ten years
ago as state senator and has in the main
given satisfaction as a member of the
council during the two terms which are
about to close. His promotion to the
responsible position of city comptroller
affords substantial proof that he enjoyed
the confidence Of the citizens Of all par
ties In an eminent degree at the time of
his election. We violate no confidence,
however, in saying that Mr.. Lobeok has
dropped fifty degrees In the estimation
Of the people Of Omaha by giving the
appearance of joining Hascall in the in
famous conspiracy to thwart the will Of
the people and place them at the mercy
Of the franchised corporations and
Doodle contractors.
Mr.. Lobeck must certainly comprehend
the object Of extending the terms of
Hascall, Kari, Trostler and Whitehorn
for three more years without submitting
themselves for ratification by the peo-
pie. Mr.. Lobeck's request that these
men sign an agreement not to avail
themselves Of the privilege of extending
their terms is purile and can deceive
nobody. The agreement would not be
worth the paper it is written on and
could not be enforced as a matter OF
honor or as a matter Of law.
Even II Hascall. Karr & Co. agree to
MI. Lobeck's proposal they would either
have to resign or serve If the re-appor
tionment Of the wards on the HascaI
chart was declared legal by the courts
It will take a very credulous man to be
lleve that they would resign after put
ting themselves to so much trouble and
putting the corporations to so much ex
pense to hold their seats.
When an honorable man makes a mis-
take he will retrace his steps. We d.
not believe Mr.. Lobeck would intention
ally help to 'infict ~irreparable injur,
upon the community that has just hon
ored him with a lucrative ONCE, and W,
doubt very much whether he can afor,
to commit political suicide by persistinI
in a course that will ALLEVIATE from hin
ninety-nine out Of every hundred Of tn

A Trust CONVICTION.
Managers Of the federal salt Trust
Successfully Prosecuted.
TndtananoIto N.ws

AEDAGC9NGus
Indianapolis News.
At last we nave a criminal conviction
under the Sherman antitrust law. In the
United States district court of California
the Federal Salt company. a New Jersey
corporation, was convicted OF maintaining a
monopoly, on a plea OF guilty. The maxi
mum fine Is 81 5000. The company has already
been defeated in a civil suit, and the finding
In that case resulted in a~nnuiiing all its
contracts. It is said tina the mpan had
a complete monopoly OF the salt business
IN California, and that 1t had advanced the
price OF salt from 81 and 50 to $50 and $5
a ton. Clearly this was one of the bad
trusts OF which we have heard so much
from the president. We see here what
monopoly is. and how pernicious Is its
influence when wholly unaffected by compe-
tition.
Learned doctors OF the law had told US
that the antitrust act could not be en-
forced, M that Il was not worth while
to talk about It. The plain truth is that
there was no determined effort TO enforce
It until Mr. Roosevelt became president
| Under his inspiration, and with the cour'
Ageous cooperation OF Attorney Genera
Knox and his su~bordinates, we have beer
able 10 impress even on Wall street the
fact that the government Of the United
States is more powerful than even a Nor
gan merger, and that law is meant foi

for the poor and weak. The lesson 10 one

FOR Three YEARS OR Foa LIFE.

And now it transpires that the scheme
to foist the four corporation tools that
hold seats in the present council into
the new council was concocted months
ago by and with the knowledge and con-
sent of the misrepresentation from
Douglas county to the late legislature.
One of the members of the redOubtable
delegation, Mr.. Ten Eyck, who now APP
pears as attorney on behalf of the Has
c~allites, has admitted that the extension
Of the terms of the foul rejected mem.
bers was not inserted In the charter by
accident, but by design.
Mr.. Ten Eyck also admits that this
~high-handed scheme to foist upon the
taxpayers and citizens of Omaha men
who have betrayed their confidence was
deliberately planned to not merely ex-
tend their terms for seven months, but
for three years. Whether other MEM
bers of the delegation will be as candid
as Mr.. Ten Eyck in clarifying the
chicannery by which the delegation took
upon themselves the appointment of
councilmen for Omaha in defiance Of the
popular will and wish is problematic.
The fact that the scheme was concocted
in corporation headquarters and en-
| gineered in their interest cannot be
doubted by any well informed person.
But there is nothing small about Ike
Hascall. He is not content with an ex-
tension of three years. but proposes to
extend himself for the unexpired term
Of his life by carving out a ward made
up of less than five hundred voters, a
majority of whom are convertible by
various means best known to himself.
The only wonder is that the delegation
did not insert ,Hascal's c%ouncilmaniC
chart into the charter and make it per
petual.

to the communal tax, S257. The Jews are
made to pay excessive sums In all cases to
