.E|DlM'S DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL

A verdict of death by accident was
rendered by the jury in the case of Ole
Eidam, the Norwegian sailor, who
plunged to his death over the side of
M. Sunday. The inquest was held last
evening at police headquarters, Deputy
Sheriff Kalakiela conducting the in
vastigation. The jury found nothing
whatever discriminating William Dion
ski, the Russian nightwatchman on the
James Nesmith, he having merely
acted in consonance with his duty, by
ordering the deceased Off the vessel,
aboard of which he had gone by mis-
Olonski's story of the affair con-
WINGED the jury that Eidam had
brought on his death through his own
carelessness. and owing largely to the
fact that he had BEEN very drunk all
night. Olonski made a very favorable
impression on the jury, and his story
cOrroDOrated that OF First Mate
Timms. Olonski had been detained at
the police station since the tragedy,
and had had no opportunity whatever
to compare notes with anyone. DIR.
Mcdonald testified as to the injuries
received by the deceased. the worst
being complete fractures of the frontal
bone and the upper maxillary bone,
and a smashed nose.

DEPARTMENT SCANDALS.

Departmental scandals have been
rearing their heads more and more
prominently as the summer weeks pass.
The Department of Agriculture has
been shown to be honeycombed with
Irregularities and graft. At first, when
Edwin s. Holmes, Jr.- associate stat
istician, was dismissed for selling in
formation about cotton crop reports to
New York brokers, it was declared that
the department. had been purged and
that no further dismissals were IN
prospect. But organizations and news
papers all over the country have been
pounding away at Secretary Wilson.
employees have been let out and the
end does not seem to be yet. The
Bureau of Animal Industry is now I'M
der fire, in connection with the con-
tracts for an ingenious and very USE
full little meat label. built on a gela-
tine foundation and lettered in indel-
ible ink, used to stamp carcasses to
show that United States Inspectors
have passed them. 1t is not unlikely
that DIR. D. E. Salmon, the chief of the
Bureau, will have to resign. He is
already embarrassed by the disclosures
of petty irregularities.
Phe Geological Survey has also been
under fire, because of its connection
with the Mining World, of Chicago, a
magazine calculated, among other
things, to enable the officials of the
survey TO meet criticisms of the survey
or its work. The charges in that con-
nection have various ramiications.
tending to involve government scien-
fists in selling information to maya
zines in advance of its publication in
regular government reports. The local
papers have been full of these and
other scandals, the disclosures being
even more general than in the days of
the airing of the Postoffice scandals.

the responsibility to the great party
it represents to truly voice the convic-

minority member feeling little sense
of responsibility, seems most anxious
to get this or that1ittle crumb for his
constituents, and in doing this fails
to protest against dangerous or un-
wise tendencies. For example, dur
ing the last presidential campaign,
Judge Parker made a strong speech
against the growing extravaganza of
government and cited the rapid and
unnecessary growth of the appropria-
tions made by Congress. His pro-
test that ought to have aroused the
country fell still-born. Why? Pc
