SATURDAY, JAN. IA, 1905
LEGISLATION

Secretary Shaw has issued the ex-
pected ruling allowing the drawback or
rebate of duty paid on by-products, as
well as flour made from imported
wheat. 1t was expected because it was
asked for by powerful special interests
and they have a habit of getting what
they want from this administration
when then stand in with it. 1t was ex-
pected because both the treasury de-
partment and the department Of JUS
! tice have been searching the files and
the precedents for weeks past with the
object of discovering some ground for
just such action as they have taken.
Nobody has allowed himself to con-
slider the propriety of the act or the
limitations that should surround ex-
ecutive authority. The whole ques-
ton has been not to find out what
ought to be done, what could be done
under right Interpretation of the law,
but to discover if an Interpretation Of
the law could be made, by any forced
or twisted construction, which would
meet the wishes of executive officers
and their powerful friends.
We repeat that we do not quarrel
with the practical effect OF the rule
The millers ought to have free wheat.
They should have it because the tariff
on wheat is an utter fraud, sham and
lie. The tax is imposed to fool the
farmer into the belief that he is get
ting something in exchange for the
sums flched from him under the guise
of protective duties on everything that
he uses. 1t could be wiped out of ex-
istence tomorrow and no farmer in the
United States be penny the worse for
it. That would conflict with the plans
of the tariff beneficiaries, however, and
they insist that it shall remain on the
books, but that all power should be
taken out of it as far as the milIers are
concerned. Hence the ruling of Secre-
tary Shaw, which is so absurd upon
the face of it, so forced and strained
contempt
The most serious aspect of this ac-
tion is one to which we have already
called attention. 1t is the assumption
by executive officers of legislative func-
tons. If there is any principle funda-
mental to this government, it is the
distribution of all power in this coun-
try among the three departments, ex-
ecutive, legislative and judicial, and the
laying down of the fixed law that none
of these shall pass over its boundaries or
trespass upon the powers and privi-
leges of any other. When this rule
shall be abolished or generally disre-
garded, We must have usurpation: be-
cause the department that successfully
takes prerogatives from another must
eventually become supreme. Secretary
Shaw has no more right to make a
ruling like this, directly negativing a
law regularly passed by congress, than
President Roosevelt has to order the
arrest and imprisonment Of some citi-
zen without warrant Of law.
The incident is not singular. The
habit is becoming common. One de-
partment officer after another, some
times with a good motive and driven
to Impotence by congressional delay,
sometimes through mere love of power

as far northeast as Hainan island

TEN kINERS KILLED BY FALL
ING CAGE IN A SHAFT AT
MlLKEsBARRE, PA.
HEA FELL FOUR HUNDRED FEET
POPE SNAPPED WHILE THE VIC
TINS WERE DESCENDING
TO THEIR WORK.

Wilkesbagre, Pa, April 27.-Ten
miners were instantly crushed to
death during the day at thcyonyng-
harm mine Of the Delaware and Hud-
son company located in the northern
part of the city. The men were being
lowered into the mine and when $50
feet from the surface the rope broke
and the cage fell to the bottom of the
shaft, a distance of 400 feet. A res
cuing party was at once organized.
The bodies Of the men were found at
the bottom of the shaft beneath
mass of debris. They were terribly
rnangled.
Most of the victims lived in the vi
cinity of the mine and when the res
cuers brought the crushed forms to
the surface a large crowd was in walt
ing The grief of the relatives of the
dead was heartrending.
Superintendent Foote says he is at
a loss to account for the accident. An
examination of the rope was made be-
lore the HTSI cage lull VI AuiiieaAA
freight was lowered into the mine
and it was found to be all right.
William Cunningham, who is said to
be one of the most reliable men In
the employ of the company, was the
engineer in charge of the hosting
carriage. He says everything went
well until the fatal trip. He got the
signal TO lower and to stop at the
Hillman vein, which is $50 feet from
the surface. When the Hillman WE
reached he slowed up. Without any
warning the rope snapped and the
carriage containing the ten men
dropped like shot to the bottom.
The carriage had all the safety appii-
ances and it's speed should have been
checked before it reached the bottom,
but as far as can be learned the
catcher" did not work. Eight of the
dead were Poles and the two others
English speaking miners.
