HULeT WINS LAND CASE.
Secretary OF the Inferior Orders
Section Eleven ReSurveyed.

Jesse F. Murphv, the land attorney,
received n telegram from Washingto, d.
c., last week informing him that after a
legal fight OF nearly three ye RS, his con-
tention for resurvey of Section Ills 8
had been upheld by the secretary of the
interior. and the survey ordered. This
will result in Hiram Hulet securing about
so acres OF valuable land, which has long
been in dispute.
This section was bought at private en-
try by Pope x Talbot many years ago,
but in its survey 49ls acres were left out
through error, and were not embraced in
any section. This was discovered by
Hulet about IL years ago and he has
made his nome on the land ever since.
The Puget Mill Co , as succeeding Pope
Il Talbot in ownership, claimed the land
as being within the section for which
they held patent, but HuIet held possess
sion, alleging that as the tract had never
been surveyed into legal subdivisions it
could not have been entered or patented,
but was vacant, unsurveyed land subject
to sQuatter settlement.
Nearly three years ago Hulet placed
the case in the hands OF Attorney Muir
ply, who, after satisfying himself by a
survey and examination OF the records
that his client was right, took up the
matter only to be turned down in sue.
cession by the Olympia land office, the
state surveyor general and the commits.
sioner of the general land office. who all
held that the Pope & Talbot patent EN-.
braced tAe land in question, and that
there was no vacant land there. Mr..
Murphy then carefully compiled the en-.
tire records of the two official surveys Of
that section, to which he added affidavits
of r. S. Jackson, who surveyed it for
Hulet. and number of otner witnesses
who were familiar with that vicinity,
which he sent to the secretary of the in.
terror, who has evidently seen the merit
of the case and ordered the resurvey.
Attorney Murphy says the order, in
effect, awards the land to Hulet.

The Criminal Clauses of the Sher.
man ANTITRUST Law If Enforced
and few of its Purse Proud
ViOIatOrS Jailed, Provides all the

The New York Press. a repu blcan
paper, does not take kindly to "lnvesti-
cation" of the trusts, and insist that some
thing more radical than talk" is nec-
cessary if the people are to be given
relief.
The Press says:
"There is law to punish the pick
pocket who steals your purse. There is a
law to punish the BURGLAR VINO robs
your house. There is law to punish
the starving man who grabs loaf of
bread. But there is no law to punish
the trust criminal who robs you OF your
means OF livelihood, who cuts your busi.
ness out from under your feet, and who
does it openly in the sight of men and
laughs at you because you have no
redress.

except to demonstrate that the penalty
for trust criminality is inadequate and

standard Oil criminals in the same class
as the law has put burglars and highway
robbers"
But there is a law to punish the trust
criminal.
The first and second sections OF the
Sherman antitrust law are as follows:
"Section /. Every contract, combina.
tion in the form OF trust or otherwise, or
conspiracy, in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several states, or with
foreign nations, is hereby declared to be
illegal. Every person who shalt make
any such contract or engage in any such
combination or conspiracy, shall be
deemed guilty Of misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof shall be punched by
a fine not exceeding five thousand dol.

one year, or by both said punishments
in the discretion of the court.
"Section 2. Every person who shall
monopolize or attempt to monopolize, or
combine or conspire with any other per-
son or persons. to monopolize any part
of the trade or commerce among the sew.
eral states, or with foreign nations, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and,

DIR. JEKEL-MR. HYDE COLLECTION AGENCY
SAN DOMINGO TREATY A Scheme
TO COLLECT BAD DEBTS.
If Nations Are to Become Collectors
of Bad Debts, They Should Take
Care That the Debtor Gets a
Square Deal at the Beginning.

Having found it impossible to secure
the confirmation of the San Domingo
treaty which made this nation assume
the role OF a debt collecting agency the
republican leaders OF the senate, after
consulting with the president, concluded
not to bring the matter to VOTE While
the democrats were nearly all opposed
to any treaty which would involve the
United states in the pecuniary disputes
constantly arising in the southern re-
publics, they were especially hostile to
the San Domingo treaty because of the
nature of some cf the claims which are
held against that country.
Senator Morg IN of Alabama called the
senate's attention to one case in which a
financier charged the San Domingo gov.
eminent half million for floating loan
of about two millions. The bonds were
sold for little more than million and
the government, after it got through with
contractors and middle men, realized
something like two hundred thousand
dollars. The debt has now grown to
about ten million dollars. The Europ.
can governments have been in the habit
OF backing up the usurious claims of their
citizens and the president urges that un-
less we did as the Europeans do our
citizens would be at a disadvantage.
While the reasons given by the president
are plau BILE to those who adopt the
commercial view that in dealing with the
weaker nations force can be used to col.
lect debts due to individuals, the policy
ought at least to carry with it condi.
ton that the loans must be entirely free
from fraud and the interest not exces.
sive.
If a nation is going to guarantee the
collection OF loans made by its citizens it
ought to compel its citizens to loan at
rates customary for safe investments. 1t
is obviously unjust for nation to allow
it's citizens to deal on speculative basis,
charging for the risk, and then proceed
to eliminate the risk. Even with safe
guards against usury such policy is a
dangerous one for us to endorse, because
forei.n II money is invested here and we
can not recognize the right of foreign
nations to protect the loans of their citi.
zens elsewhere without recognizing their
tight to compel payment from our citi-
zens. If such rule is established in the
western hemisphere it ought to be &C.
companied by another rule making it
unlawful for any citizen TO borrow money
outside his own country or for any gov
ernment to borrow except from its own
citizens. According to the European
rules now enforced against the weaker
nations loan is really an invitation to
invade the land Of the debtor.

Value Of the Reform Movement.

We are not inclined to under
estimate either the force or the i'm
portauce of the reform movement
in Philadelphia. The defeat OF the
machine candidates for Sheriff,
Coroner and City Commissioners in
that city is not only highly signif-
cant but immensely valuable to the
cause of political reform. 1t would
hardly be lust to say that the cleo
ton of Mayor Berry to the Office of
State Treasurer and the prospective
improvement in the fiscal affairs of
tie Commonwealth are ascribable
to that movement, though it was a
potential contributing agent, AS
matter Of act, however, notwith-
standing the vast fraudulent vote
in, Allegheny county, the State out
side of Philadelphia gave Mr..
Berry considerable and very sub
stantial majority.
But the real value of the reform
movement in Philadelphia is yet to
be determined. So far as it has
gone it is genuine and effective.
The rout of the machine was com.
plete and overwhelming for the
time and the loss of the Offices
enumerated together with the re-
form in the executive department
Of the municipal government is a
severe blow to the " Organization. "
The serpent has only been scotch
ed, however, not killed. The kill
ing must be done at the February
election and if there is any abate-
ment of zeal or impairment of
energy on the part of the reform
forces between now and then, there
may be no killing at all. III other
words the monster may recover
from the wounds inflicted and strike
fatal blow himself in February.
And what is true of the city Of
Philadelphia is true of all sections
of the State. During the recent
campaign we labored assiduously to
show that the defeat of the local
candidates in Philadelphia was of
vastly less Importance then the
overthrow of the State machine.
The effect of the election of Mayor
Berry on the public mind vindicates
that opinion. If Plummer had been
successful the result on the Phila-
delphia local ticket would have been
laughed at by the machine mana
gers. On the other hand bis defeat
was solar plexus bump. But it
must be supplemented by future
victories Of the people and the time
and place to lay the foundations
for future victories are in February
and at the local elections. - Belle

The Oystermen

Recent developments show that
a state of things have existed for
some time past on the Chesapeake
Bay that are a disgrace to our civ
iliization. Oyster boats are manned
by men Who are first drugged and
then taken aboard without their
knowledge or consent. and COM
PEELED to work at dredging oysters
until they are worn out, and then
turned loose with little or no pay.
Kicks and blows and even murder
are charged against the masters OF
some of these boats. The Cover
nor of Maryland and the Federal
authorities are now taking hand
and several arrests have been made,
and it is likely that this sort of
human slavery may now cease.

Getting Ready TOR Berry
Sinking Fund Commissioners Are fastening
to Garry Out the Laws Intent

The Philadelphia Rer0ra says:
The Board of Sinking Fund Com
missioners, through State Treasur-
er Mathues has notified all banks
holding the s., 900, 900 surplus in
the fund to be ready at any time to
meet demand for this money.
Such is one of the salutary effects
OF the revolution. Does any one
imagine that this notice would
have been issued had the election
resulted in the choice of the
Machine candidate for state treas
urer' Had these faithless public
servants obeyed the plain intent of
the law there would now be little
or none of this money in the Sink
ing Fund. When no state bonds
are offered at current rates, the law
declares that the commissioners
shall invest the money of the Sink
ing fund i'll United States securities.
For their flagrant violation OF the
law these delinquent officials should
have been impeached, and they
would have been impeached but for
The protection and encouragement
afforded them by Machine legis-
lature of the same kidney. Now,
when the penitent and humil.
lated Legislature is going to assem-
Die Ill special session to make pub
lie confession of its violations of
most solemn duty, the Sinking
Fund commissioners with like alb
Jectness hasten to obey the neglect
ed laws in anticipation of the com.
ing change of financial administra-
ton. The exhibition would be
most gratifying if it were as sincere
and honest as it is humiliating to
all concerned.
