A Day of Rest.
Ieslie's Meekly.


1t has taken two alleged ''soulless' cor
porations, and railroad corporations at that,
to set shining examples before the country
recently OF insistence on high moral stand
ards in business, regardless Of the Question
of profit. One OF these was the Wabash
road, which has excluded liquor selling
from it's eating houses. and the other, and
still more recent instance, is that of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul system,
which has decided that Sunday shall be
made day of rest for all it's employees so
far as that is possible without interfering
with the absolute necessities of traffic.
Sunday excursion trains have been discon-
tinued and freight crews have been in
structed to reach headquarters. so far as
possible, on Saturday night, so that they
may have Sunday for rest. One practical
result OF the action of both these companies
will be to lessen the liability to accidents
on their lines-a result that will be appre-
ciated by their patrons, no matter what
their individual views on the subject of
liquor selling and Sunday dissertation
may be.

AN INADEoUATE PENALTY.

Referring to the dismissal of Holmes,
assistant statistician of the Department
OF Agriculture, and the exposure of GER
tain brokers with whom he worked in
collision, an eastern paper remarks that
exposure and disgrace, after the game
has been played with profit are an in
adequate penalty. There will be very
general concurrence in this view. 1t is
stated that Holmes made fortune of at
least half a million dollars by selling ad-
vance information on cotton and other
crop statistics to brokers and speculat-
ors, while the men who paid for the in
formation made millions.
So fragrant a conspiracy as this de-
serves severe punishment and If it shall
be decided by the legal department Of
which Holmes and his fellow conspira-
tors are amenable it will be the duty of
congress to enact law which will apply
to such a case. Not only would it be en-
tirely just to deprive Holmes of his i'll
gotten wealth, but he ought also TO serve
term in prison, so that his disgrace
would be made complete. AS the New
York Tribune says, Offenses of this sort
deserve the severest punishment. 1.-THE
spirit which prompts such breaches Of
trust-either in public or in private life
cannot be compromised with. 1t is the
most destructive force against which our
present political and social order has to
war, and we should make an example Of
each and every offender who turns a
trust to private gain" 1t will indeed be
unfortunate if Holmes cannot be ade-
quately punished for his fragrant offense.

Truth without TrimminEs,

1t will take some of the Kansans who
listened to Jerome a long time to forget
some of the things he said. For instance:
"Despicable a man as is John d. Rookie
Teller, you have only to look at your own
country crossroads to find men in a smaller
way doing exactly as he has done. This
is business and business is war. This is
commerce, this is competition, it is war and
strife l do not say that this is moral; 1t
is immoral. But don't tell me that If the
men at the crossroads had more power they
would not use it to their own advantage, or
that they would use 1t any more gently
than Rockefeller uses II"

Powder Trust Gets Busy.

The cartridge companies have just put
the price up on the army a full half over a
fair profit. The ordnance department finds
itself paying $3.50 for what should cost
about $50 on uniform bids by all the COM
panies. The powder companies, including
the DUPONT, entered a trust little over
a year ago, Destroyed competition and are
selling the navy cordite for the navy's big
guns at a profit out of proportion to the
risk and cost of manufacture. Each branch
of the service is plundered; but while
those who sell to the government combine
nothing can induce army and navy officers
to act together in securing lower prices.

The Water board has now been in ex-

time the lawyers on both sides are milk
ing the COW, while the poor taxpayer

EVILS OF IMMIGRATION.
Restricted Naturalization One of the
Proposed Remedies.
Leslie's Weekly


No system, however effectively admins.
tered, can perfectly slft and separate al
the gateways Of the country all os the de-
fectives from the good. Therefore, the
examination and inspection should con-
tinue beyond the immigration station The
laws should be amended so as to empower
the immigration authorities 10 compulsorily
deport any alien immigrant TO the port
from whence he came whenever he be-
comes a public charge, and. in the discre-
tions OF the courts. before or after serving
sentence, when he becomes a criminal,
this period of probation to continue until
he becomes a full-hedged citizen of the
United States. Existing laws now author
ize such deportation, but limit the time OF
its exercise to one or two years after
arrival. Nearly all European countries
exercise this right. and there is no moral
or treaty obligation which will prevent us
from doing the same.

The War department will take occasion
on the first opportunity after the conven-
ing Of congress TO suggest that provision
be made for giving officers and men of the
regular establishment one months pay In
advance prior to their departure for the
Philippines, on the occasions when they
are under orders to the islands. There has
been nothing in the way OF a decision
which will give more Individual embarrass-
ment than this ruling of the comptroller
that the law under which army paymasters
have been giving a months pay TO soldiers
and officers when they went through San
Francisco, in advance Of the date when
ii was due, did not apply TO the regulars
but only to volunteers, of which there is,
of course, none in the service now. Alto
gether, the decision operates as a veritable
hardship, which will not be removed by
the notice which has been sent out to

there is no appeal from the comptroller
ruling 1t must remain with all its blight

extend the privileges Of the old statute to
those Of the regular establishment There
is Just as much reason 70 do the favor OF
advancement In one case as In the other,
and there can be no political reason ad-
vanced for the discrimination. The Ques-
ton OF restoration Of the privilege will be
touched upon In the annual report Of the
paymaster general OF the army and will
probably be the subject OF a special COM
munication 70 the military committees from
