insofar as may be inferred from the pub
ished report at hand, the investigation into the
operations of the beef trust by the commissioner Of
corporations was superficial and inconclusive.
The commissioner does not seem to possess a very
comprehensive mental grasp of the intricacies of
these colossal modern industrial concerns. He
seems to rely upon their more or less reliable eX
hibits of direct earnings and not to take into
sideration freight rate rebates-by far the most
pernicious factor in the system by which the public
is so numerically mulcted by the predatory trusts
of the day.
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1905-03-11

Does the commissioner of corporations con-
clude, because he finds that the direct profit accru-
ing to the beef trust on cattle slaughtered and
marketed by the principal firms in the combine
was only SO cents per head, that this combine is
therefore public benefactor? If he does not rea-
lie that $10O per head on all the cattle consumed
IN the country flowing into the Golfers of one or
ten individuals is serious drain upon the
resources of the people than would be $500 per
head distributed among thousands of operators
to be again put into circulation almost immedi-
atey he fails utterly to grasp the industrial prob
lens to be solved by his administration, and should
promptly give way to some one more competent than
himself to inquire into and report upon the condi-
tions as they exist.

THE WAR M THE EAST.

Another great battle has been fought in Man
chura. Another victory has been won by the Japan
ese.. Mukden is being evacuated and the Russian
forces under Kuropatkin are in full retreat What
effect will this fresh defeat have upon the car and
his councillors! Will it lead to peace? For weeks
past, the European and American press had been
discussing the possibility of this event and specu-
lating upon the conditions that would satisfy the
japanese, The latter have been examining the
situation. Their pubcists tell us what they will de-
mand. Flushed by the success of its wars against
China and Russia, Japan declares herself to be the
newly risen empire of the east that henceforth, in
all purely eastern affairs she will exercise the para
mount influence and that Europe and America will
be allowed only secondary position. As. qompen-

1t seems that the commissioner of corporations
utterly ignored the refrigerator car graft when he
inquired into the operations of the beef trust and
yet this IS the most formidable instrument for
preying upon the consumers of the land that has
yet been devised. The trust could well afford to
forego all profit upon their principal Industry;
their depredatons by means of the refrigerator car
system are sufficient to practically absorb all the
surplus production of wealth of the country from
year to year. 1t is well that the department of
justice has seen fit to act independently of this
doughty commissioner If it succeeds I'M LANDING

The late George A. Boutwell,, ex-governor of
Massachusetts and ex-United States senator was
staunch opponent of Imperialism on the part
of our government. In this he was com
mendably loyal to the traditions of the
American people. 1t is a cause for regret
that this loyalty is not shared by others of our
statesmen conspicuous for their lofty patriotism,
as a sturdy adherence to our early traditions 'all
along the line" would be conducive to our enduring
honor and greatness as a liberty loving nation.

The most significant and important event of
the past week in the political world was the sign
ing by Emperor Nicholas, of Russia. of a rescript
granting elected representatives of the people an
opportunity to express their views in the prepare
ton of laws. Whilst this is by ON means radi-
cal concession 1t Is nevertheless long stride in
the onward march toward popular rule It is to
be presumed that not many more years will run
their cycle ere the Russian people shall wrest from
their rulers a constitutional form of government.

The murder, in Chicago, of Miss Mary C.
Mulveil, by detective ON the police force of that
city who. after committing the dastardly deed,
took his life, has caused unusual Indignation.
This is due to the fact that the victim was young
woman with heart of gold, dispensing charity so
munifcently and yet unostentatiously that she
was given the appelatiOn of "The Angel of the
Parish" 1t is natural that the crime should be
regarded as all the more abhorent because of the
beautiful character of the deceased, but it does
not present an incomprehensible anomaly. When

came infatuated with his victim, as men with
evil hearts sometimes will with the good and the

come attentions were repulsed.

to bring this state Of things about.
The companies were mustered out

Reports from both Eaton and Tay-

the effect that the wrestlers are round

are confident of victory.
The hackers of Taylor. who Is one
of the best light weight wrestlers in
the business, say tnat he is in the
best form known Of him in years, and
they are confident that he will core
out victorious. His recent defeat at
at hands of kid" Eaton, has caused
him to work exceedingly hard in train
ing and when the two go on the mai
on April 20. he will be in fine shape.
| kid" Eaton also sends word to his
friends that he is in fine form. In
fact better than he was at the tim;
that he defeated Taylor, and conse
quently expects to win the match II
a much easier manner than ne did be

Much interest is being manifesto,
