The Ice Trust Prosecution.

Judging from the work already done and
the preparations for extending it. the ef-
fort of the legal officers in this District TO
probe the local ice situation to the bottom
should be successful. The grand jury Is
sitting in the case and listening TO much
testimony from those who are in a position
10 throw light upon the methods of the cor
poration which Is regarded by the public
holding the monopoly of the ice supply.
This investigation Is bound TO have
wholesome effect II the Ice dealers of
Washington are not in combination for the
purpose OF regulating the price they VIII
have their opportunity to prove the fact.
BIZ; there is ample ground for believing
otherwise. 1t has been for several years
c mmou knowledge that no dealer could
obtain a supply of ice Tor retailing unless
he met the conditions imposed by the So
called ice trust. Those dealers who de-
scribed themselves as independent have
been in truth entirely dependent upon the
alleged combination for their supply. They
were i'm effect regulated as to their scale Of
prices,
Net while this has been common knowl-
edge no action has been taken until now.
The Ice trust prosecutions in other cities
have attracted the attention of the prose-
cutting officers OF this Jurisdiction to the
local conditions. which do not vary In the
least from those in Toledo, Philadelphia
or elsewhere. The recent shortage. real
or fictitious, IN the supply rendered action
imperative. However belated. the activity
OF the courts is TO be welcomed. If there
is combination which controls supply and
price Il should be broken, and those who
ace behind It should be severely punished.
The mere disruption OF the syndicate or
trust Will not meet all the requirements
OF the case II is not enough to stamp
out the evil thing Those who gave II
birth should suffer the penalty the laws
prescribe. so that there will be no tempta-
ton in the future to trifie in the same way
with the health and the lives of the people
of this District for the sake OF profit.

Rojestvensky's Acquittal.

Admiral Rojestvenskys acquittal by the
Russian court-martial will be welcomed by
every lover of fair play throughout the
world. His plea of guilty before the
court set him up on a high pedestal In the
esteem of fair-minded men. Rojestvensky
was sent forth upon an impossible errand
with an inadequate equipment. He had
absolutely chance whatever. Even II
his fleet had been up to date In quality and
appointments he would have been short of
the necessary standard in the face of so
superior a foe as the Japanese. His crew
was III trained and Incapable of training.
His officers were incompetent. His ships
were rotten old tubs. horrible examples of
the work of a corrupt bureaucracy. There
probably not one honestly built and
honestly equipped vessel In the feet. Yet
he was dispatched half way around the
world with this crazy flotilla to fight
naval force of the flrst-class. keen in the
science of warfare. fired by the sublimest
patriotism, with every man ready to die
for his emperor but determined not to die
without scoring on the enemy. and every
item of the outfit thoroughly up to date
and magnihcently handled.
Rojestvensky's fate was decided for him
the moment he received his orders to sail.
he proDa Diy knew what the end would De
when he gave the word to weigh anchor.
His course around to the straits of Japan
a succession of embarrassing break
downs and technical plumbers on the part
of his captains. First Of all came the
tragedy of the North Sea. That stamped
the entire expedition with Its true charac-
ter. Then there were delays and difficulties
all along the route Mutinies were report
ed. Accidents happened to virtually every
vessel in the fleet. The wait in the French
waters of the eastern Chinese coast was
ludicrous manifestation of the fleets UNI
readiness. But none of these matters could
be attributed to the Incompetence or the
faint spirit of Rojestvensky. There was no
man in the Russian navy equal to such an
occasion. 2.-
The accusat ton laid against this unfortu
nate officer was monstrous offense
against the principles of humanity. His
acknowledgment of technical guilt served
to shield others and Rojestvensky was
thereby established as a figure of truly
heroic proportions. Now he is acquitted,
and there appears a sign that his self-sac-
rihce has appealed even to his own coun-
trymen. bound as they are by the cramping
ties OF Journalism.

fatted out like a grape under wagon
tire. He was utterly helpless and useless in
the halls OF legislation. Nobody noticed
his passing.
Congress Is no place for the young man
burning with radical ideas and the zeal OF
the reformer. He finds himself bound
hand and foot by iron-clad rules when he
comes here. Unless he is unusually gifted
as a speaker he gets no audience when he
takes the floor and even glib orator is
rather tolerated than needed Only the
genuine wit, the man OF fresh anecdotes
and opposite epigrams. can get hearing
on the floor in his early days. and he must
be exceptionally gifted and fortified with
an abundant nerve or he will fail in the
test that Is always applied to the new
conner.
The youthful reformer does not need to
come to Congress to put his ideas into the
form of bills and resolutions and Constitu-
ticnal amendments. He can always And
an accommodating member to present his
productions and propositions. Committees
are usually graciously inclined to listen to
expounders. No gag is put upon the mouth
of the American citizen when he passes
through the doors Of the Capitol.
Far better than, that of legislator Is the
role of the man who cuts out the legisla-
tors work for him. This role Mr.. Sinclair
filled to the satisfaction of the country
during the latter part of the session just
closed. Our history affords no more con-
spicuous instance of influence upon the
law-making process by single individual.
If there wrongs to right and evils to
cure and dangers to avert and doctrines to
enforce Mr.. Sinclair would better stick to
the writing desk than try for the forum.
He cannot hope to occupy both at once.
Young Mr.. Sinclair, of course, may be
seeking a congressional nomination for
strictly business reasons. That is entirely
within his rights. But he ought to make
sure that he is picking his party and his
community to insure defeat, which will be
his greatest blessing

LittlefleId of Maine.
From the New York Globe.

From the New York Globe.
For many years it has been the habit of
the republicans of Maine to send strong
men to Congress- and then to stick by
them, even If some items of their conduct
ran counter to prevailing prejudices. Thus
1t was that William Pitt Fessenden. was
returned to the Senate. even though he had
voted against the impeachment of Andrew
Johnson; thus 1t that Senator Hale
was reelected on the heels of his vote
against the ratification of the Spanish
treaty; thus 1t is that the energetic effort
in the old Nelson Dingley district to reIe-
gate Congressman Littlefeld to pri-
vate life has failed. 1t is the Maine
idea that there Is no substitute for
brains; that independence is a quality
worth having in public servant. and that
il 1t is to exist it must be allowed express
sion; that representative in Congress is
to be permitted to do a little thinking on
his own account and Is not to be mar
rowly held TO obey the dictates of party
caucus or to follow humbly the leadership
of the majority of the committee on rules.
This idea, consistently followed, explains
why Maine for a generation has had in
fuence in the national councils more than
proportionate to her population and the
number of her representatives. Broadness
has paid. as every Maine visitor to the
Capitol galleries feels. he beholds with
swelling pride the conspicuousness OF his
state in both Senate and House.

Crown, Douma and Army.

If it were not SO deadly serious the stu

the government would be highly amusing

cusing the ministry and the crown of but

minds of the peasants and create a reac-

douma, and the latter is now accusing 1t
OF working all Its agencies to prejudice the
minds of the people while the douma is en-
gagged through a commission In seeking the
most practicable solution of the land prob
lem.
The debates in the douma yesterday were
characterized by a feeling of resentment
which. were the crisis less grave might be
termed jealousy. The serious aspect of the
case appears iii the declaration of NJ Kuz-

II remains for events to disclose whether
this will be q bloodless rupture, consisting
of legislative revolution, or forcible
break accompanied by the fideous spectacle
of civil war. The danger OF the latter
grows with each addition to the sum of
differences between the government and the
parliament. The spirit of mutiny in the
army Is daily mounting higher. The latest

PHILIPPINE BILL FIGHT

The demise OF the Philippine free

the good Judgment OF Hawaiian
sugar interests in presenting their
cause openly and vigorously before
Congress. Next to the passage OF the

satisfactory which Hawaii could re-
eeive from this session of the National

Having met defeat in the committee
II is not likely that Philippine frea
trade will be brought TO the fighting
