When Commissioner Garfield went to
the Chicago packers and asked permits
sion to inspect their books, the condi-
ton was made that no information he
might obtain therefrom would be used
IN court proceedings against them.
MIR. GARFIELD gave this pledge, 1t is
stated. and the packers allowed him to
STUDY their business in all it's details
from the inside.
NOW, 1t is announced, the results of
his study have been turned over 10 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 cues
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers. except as they are citizens of
Chicago. If 1t can be proved that they
are guilty Of engaging in conspiracy
In restraint of trade. they ought to be
punished
But their guilt, if they are guilty,
must be fairly proved. They must be
given q square deal.
Since the Government has efevated
its vision to such a height as to over
look the nest of defiant criminal trusts
almost within the shadow of the CAPT.
toll dome. in order to fasten itself n
thousand miles away upon Chicago,
the Government and the President
cannot be too careful 10 avoid suspl-
cion that they are more anxious to
prosecute Western offenders than of
tenders in the East.

Tribute to Dead Beauty.

The New York American recently
had running a column in which a
controversy, was waged by correspon-
dents as to whittier blondes or bru-
nettes were the most beautiful wo-
men. Among the contributions to
this column was one from we'll
known gentleman of this city, which
we reproduce.
The most beautiful woman | have
ever met was a blonde, five feet and
two or three inches tall, weight
about 100 pounds, symmetrical in
form, with every grace of movement,
her head crowned with u wealth of
golden hair in which the sunbeams
played hide and seek, her eyes large
and blue, showing in their depths all
the sweet emotions of the soul, and
fringed with silky brown lashes, the
most perfect, the mouth a Cupid's
bow, disclosing teeth eXquisitely
moulded and white as pearls, her
cheeks tinted like an apple blossom,
her complexion transparent, the
sweetest disposition imaginable and
possessed of marvellous beauty. She
was neither vain nor insincere, and
all who met her felt the influence of
her charming personality. Only one
thing more need be said of her. she
was Virginia girl, and sleeps I'M
der the violets in the city of Peters
burg.
