When Commissioner Garfield went
to the Chicago packers and asked per.
mission to inspect their books, the con-
dition was made that no information
he might obtain therefrom would be
used in court proceedings against
them.
Mt Garfield gave this pledge. 1t is
stated, and the packers allowed him
to study their business in all its de-
tails from the inside.
Now, it is announced, the results Of
his study have been turned over to the
government department of justice to
be employed in legal prosecution OF
the packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured to give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word. but the
governments. 1t is not his good faith.
but the governments, that is in Ques-
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens Of
Chicago. If it can be proved that they
are guilty of engaging in conspiracy
in restraint of trade, they ought to be
punished.
But their guilt, IL they are guilty,
must be fairly proved. They must be
given square deal.
Since the government has elevated
its vision to such height as to over.
look the nest of defiant criminal trusts
in New Jersey, almost within the
shadow Of the capitol dome, in order
to fasten itself thousand miles away
upon Chicago, the government and the
President cannot be too careful to
avoid suspicion that they are more
anxious to prosecute western offenders
than offenders in the east
Some of the methods already en-
ployed in this case have not been par.
ticularly distinguished for decency.
When the government breaks into
mans house and steals his private pa
pers, when it drags the wives of pack
ing-house employees into court and
puts them under heavy bonds. it is
hardly dignified, not to say honorable.

When the King Was n Boy.

When King Edward was a little boy,
a party of Ojibway Indians, who were
given an audience by Queen Victoria,
caused him much amusement, and he
ran about among them. pulling at their
fringed leggings and examining their
traLpings without the slightest fear.
One of the chiefs delighted him hugely
by presenting him with an eagles
feather and a bears claw, and also
made the little prince a pretty speech,

The city boy may be sharper and
quicker than the country boy when
he's little, but there generally comes
time when the city boy is outclassed.
He is undone by bad habits, and lacks
endurance and the capacity to think.
Too much crowding doesn't seem to

Although the whole tract of 1900 900

The ost"nsible purpose Of Dowie Is to

there appears the fact that out of this scheme
the Dowie strongbox is likely to be loaded

fact that he has thus far shown himself

that the greater part of the material re-

Ell PAso, Tex, June l0.-No hogs, no
mules, no oysters, no whisky. but more
or less Of everything else, is brief state
ment Of the principles that are to gov
ern John Alexander Dowie's colonization
scheme in Tamaulipas, Mexico.
The hog, says Dowic, is the scavenger
OF the land. just as the oyster is the scav-
enger of the sea The mule, he declares,
10 a creature Of the devil, "nn evil nonen-
dty'-a creature, in fact. something like
the Man Without n Country. And as for
liquor Of the kind that cheers and stimuli
taneously inebriates, John Alexander SAYS
it is bad for any country.
Therefore mules. hogs, oysters and
whisky are barred from the precincts of
the Dowie colony.
Dowie's colonization plans have salts
flying vastness about them This queer
old man seems to have hypnoti2ed tho
Mexican Governmo into granting him
more valuable con, essions than any other
individual has ever acquired. He is on
close terms with President Dia2, and from
one end Of Mexico to the other he is hailed
as great man.
Briefly summarized, Dowie's plans in
clude the building Of seven cities. the con-
struotion of a network of railroads the
irrigation of an extensive region by n
peculiar method, and the general deyclop-
ment Of 1000 900 acres OF land The chief
city will be called Eden, and it is Ia he butt
first No attempt will he made to start
the other six cities until after Eden is fully
established. Various experiments in city
building will be made during the carly days
OF Eden. and when comparative perfection
has been reached Eden will he taken as a
model from which to pattern the other six
cities.
So far as possible, without conflicting
with the Mexican Government, Dowie will
set up code Of laws of his own for the
regulation of his cities and his colony.

Engaged Boarder
Finds a Lost Ring

to her that he had lost q ring in his room
she prosecute ed the search for it personally
and with the same degree OF earnestness
that she would have given to any other

1t was not a ring Of great intrinsic value.
but it was ring that Mr. Niblington
wouldn't have lost for a million dollars:
for 1t had been given to him by the young
lady to whom he vas engaged, IN whose
family 1t was an heirloom. as measure
for the engagement ring he was to buy for
her. In some manner 1t had dropped from
his finger as he stood in front Of his mirror,
to roll as he thought, under his bureau;
but he had sought for it there wit bout finding
1t and would the landlady kindly look for
1t? For he couldn't look any longer now.
Mr.. Niblngton lie a most businessuke
young man who never fails to get to work
early and promptly. And the landlady got

gone and they moved the bureau, but the
ring was not there.
and low as only women know how to search,
but no ring. Very mysterious. 1t had
been dropped In the room, and it seemed
that it must be there; but it wasn't.
But the landlady was not at the end OF
her resources as a searcher for and finder
of things. She had sons Of her own, and
she knew about sons and sons ways, and
all about all the possibilities Of all lost
things: 1t was possible that the ring might

in jumping to recover himself he had
jumped that precious ring out of a turned ny

it seems, he had dropped it, and so now
he had happily recovered it.
Whereat the landlady and all the boarders
