Diamond Ink.

Socalled diamond ink for writing on
glass is a compound of f1uoric acid and
barium. The latter has no effect, ii
being simply white powder to give
body to the acid. The ink can be
used with a rubber hand stamp, and
1t should be allowed to remain fifteen
minutes, when the barium will brush
off, leaving the design on the glass.

FIGHTING LAND THIEVES.
How the Grabbers Were ChecLmnted
In Nebraska and Kansas

Cleveland Leader.
Tardily. It is true. but erectually. the
federal authorities have begun 90 punish
the stealers of public land in Kansas and
Nebraska. The frauds are as extensive
and bareface5 as those in Oregon which
brought ignominy and death to u United
states senator and conviction of felony to
a congressman. And It was woman prac-
tically alone. who put a check TO the law
lessness.
For years the wealthy cattlemen OF Kan
sas and Nebraska have been stealing public
land. Where they could they boldly fenced
II in and kept settlers out by force Where
this was inadvisable they caused false
homestead applications TO be filed. A Mrs
Osborne and her husband set UP a home
last summer on public land that had been
thus fenced in The cattemen harasscd and
threatened them, but they refused to move.
Then gang OF cattlemen went TO the
house, In the absence OF Mr. Osborne with
the avowed intention Of escorting his wife
across the county border Mrs Osborne
through loophole, shot one OF them in the
neck with repeating rife and gave the
rest five minutes in which to get out OF
range. They went away.
The thoroughly aroused woman at once
began TO collect evidence OF the stealing Of
the land her home was on. She presented It
TO the nearest United States attorney in
such complete form he was obliged to act
The guilty cattlemen were tried and con-
victed. 1t was the first time that any one
had shown courage enough to brave the
power and vengeance OF the thieves Set
tiers, as soon as they realized their posi-
ton, had uniformly moved away to avoid
danger and trouble. Mrs Orborne having
shown the way, some of them came back
and appealed TO the law. Now the authorl-
ties I'm Washington have taken hold and in
dictments by the wholesale are being

bars.

TIE GERMAN TARIFF ISSUE,

The latest advices from Washington
state that Secretary Root is most ear
nestly endeavoring to find a way to
avert a tariff war between Germany
and the United States. As there is only
about two months and a half before
the new German tariff, which dis
eliminates against American products,
will go into effect, the secretary of state
Is exceedingly anxious that something
be done to at least postpone situation
which once created might become very
troublesome, possibly producing be-
tween this country and Germany
commercial conflict that would be most
damaging to both and seriously impair
the feeling of friendship that now ex-
lists.
1t is reported that Secretary Root has
been in conference with treasury Off
cials with a view to ascertaining how
far he can go toward proposing a tenn
porary arrangement with the German
government, under which the operation
OF the new tariff may be suspended
until congress can have an opportunity
to act in regard to a new commercial
treaty. 1t is also stated that Mr.. Root
has been consulting with senators as to
the possibility of the ratification of a
reciprocity treaty, should one be nego-
tated. There is, of course, no definite
infOFmn finn n ~ -h.f h.
OF state has learned respecting the posi-
ton OF senator's, but it is probable that
he has not received much encourage
ment, it being pretty well understood
that most of the republican senators are
not favorable to making any concessions
to Germany and do not see their way
to entering into reciprocity agreement
with that country which would not
involve the United States in possible
commercial difficulties with other coun-
tries. 1t is urged that il tariff con-
cessions are made 10 Germany we must
in fairness make them to other coun-
tries, IL they are asked. For example,
they could not very well be refused
to Great Britain, which is our best Gus
toner commercially, buying from the
United States annually several times
as much as Germany does.
This matter will undoubtedly be
urged upon the attention OF senators
after the holiday recess, not only by
the administration, but also by the in
terests concerned, and these are Of a
character which ought to exert a good
deal of influence. At present however,

The president of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company visited Washington Sunday
and had long conference with the senior
senator from Pennsylvania, who has al
ways been considered unfavorable to rail-
road rate legislation The next day the
senator announced that he was heartily
in favor of rate legislation along the
lines laid down by the president and by
Senator Knox" According to a Washing
ton dispatch this announcement was a
great surprise" and efforts were made to
ascertain what had occasioned it.
From various sources it was learned that
the president of the Pennsylvania system
had decided that rate legislation was in
evitable and that there was no use in
fighting 1t longer. His opposition had ac-
cordingiy been witffdfawn. This fact was
accepted as a good and sufficient expla-
nation of the change of heart of the-senior

FORCE or PUBLIC OPINION


Mr.. Garfield. commissioner of the
bureau Of corporations. understands the
force and value OF public opinion In
his annual report he says that not only
is legislation dependent upon public
opinion, but likewise moral standards
in business and the rules of daily com
mercial intercourse, which cannot be
enforced by statute. are created and sus-
tanned by public opinion. Current
events" says the commissioner, "have
strikingly demonstrated the tremendous
reformative force Of public opinion with
out the Intervention of law. Existing
business methods will be changed in
accordance with public opinion"
Mr.. Hughes, the lawyer who has I'M
masked the operations Of the insurance
companies which have been under in
vestigation in New York. also has faith
in the power of public opinion. He said
In recent interview referring to the
investigations that they have aroused a
spirit that seems TO give hope that the
American people have come into their
own. 'In the future they will demand
better standards in both our financial
and political affairs. They will demand
that corporate business shall hereafter
be conducted squarely and with a clean
balance sheet" There is unquestion-
ably substantial ground for these views
Public opinion in this country is an
all-powerful force when fully aroused
as it appears TO be at present regard
ing corporations. But it needs TO have
constantly held up before it the evils
and abuses which require correction and
to be persistently stimulated to action.
Otherwise public opinion is apt TO be-
come lukewarm and Indifferent. There
is no doubt that we are to have reforms
in the business methods Of corporations
and better standards in both financial
and political affairs, but If these are
to long continue it is necessary that
the public shall maintain a careful
watch and guardianship of its interests.
The people can protect themselves
against evils and abuses on the part
Of corporations II they will. The power
to do this is wholly in their hands. The
trouble is that as q rule they do not
exercise this power and seem to realize
that they possess 1t only when there
is some startling revelation of wrong
doing that affects the entire public.

WORSE CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.


The general strike in Russia was pro-
claimed day earlier than expected and
the grave conditions there are thus rem
dered more serious, since there was a
possibility that postponement of the
conflict even for day might have
brought about further delay had the
government sought it. As it is, the con-
test is now fully on and according to
reports in more aggravated form than
ever before. The preceding strikes have
involved but a portion of the people,
but the proclamation makes the conflict
general, so that there is likely to be
Industrial and commercial stagnation
throughout the empire, with necessarily
disastrous consequences to all interests
and probably much bloodshed.
How long the strikers will be able
to hold out 1t is impossible to say, but
whatever the time, it will undoubtedly
be period of great disturbance. So
far as appears the government is not
disposed to do anything in the way of
Cancellation. The purpose seems to be
to firmly resist the strikers and to use
all the power available to crush the
movement. There is every indication
that the conflict is to be relentless and
destructive

A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
Nebraska Official Passes Up the Cam

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

NhdSs,D GkepuDllCd0.
The state superintendent of schools of
Nebraska, ]. L. McBrien, has taken
proper stand regarding campaign fund as
sessments, but fails TO quite hold it. 1t
has been the habit of the republican COM
mittee to assess the state officers of that
political faith, and the superintendent of
schools now makes a declaration of indie
pendence. He holds that neither he nor
his assistants, as representing the top of
the states educational interests, should be
under obligation to any political party.
He proposes that his assistants shall con-
tribute nothing, but weakens his position
by saying that as a republican. and not as
a public official, he will contribute an
amount equal to per cent of his salary
The practice of the state committee has
been to assess state officers for a certain
amount which has not always been real
lied. Here is the schedule of the demand
made last year and how 1t was met:
Governor Mickey, $500, $500 paid; adjutant
general, $40. $50 paid; Auditor Searle, $3.50,
Sllb paid; Insurance Deputy Pierce s54,
