oil carrying roads of the country
and their relations with the pro-
ducers. 1t has now issued a
series of questions that are being
sent to all of the railroads of the
country covering seventeen points
of inquiry as to the ownership of
coal and oil lands by the roads,
the ownership of coal and oil
stocks by railroad officials, and a
number of other things connect

that the commission is now pros

1T is not only our commerce but our
national character that has been injur-
ed by the frauds and scandals now as
tonishing the world If the laws had
been faithfully executed, such scandals
would have been impossible The
greatest and most damaging ofall these
scandals is that the laws of the United
States have not been faithfully execut-
ed-tbat cant, hypocrisy, and cOnniv-
ance at crime, and political partisan
success won by criminals with
stolen money aud hush-mouey, stand
in the place of duty and morality.
The people may applaud the spectacu-
lar rogues for time; but they will turn
and rend them just as soon aa they are
undeceived.

REPU LICAN INCON SIS
TENCY.

The Republicans of the present day
have forgotten What the founders Of
their party declared in 1870, when they
were seeking the approval of the Ameri-
can people. At that time they did not
attribute the growth and prosperity Of
the nation to protecliouism as they now
do, but to the true causes of both-that
is, to the Union of the States and the
consequent freedom of trade among
them. They declared: THAT to the
union of the States this Nation owes its
unprecedented increase in population,
its surprising development If material
resources, its rapid augmentation of
wealth, its happiness at home aud its
honor abroad"
This wise declaration has been studi-
ously avoided in all its recent platforms,
and the exact contrary has been assert
ed. In 1892, the parry said: 1--WE main
tain that the prosperous condition of
our country is due to the wise revenue
legislation Of the last Republican Con-
gress."
For generation or more the advo.
Gates of protectionism who control that
party and plumber people of all parties,
have ascribed the continuance of pros
perity to its own legislation: hus giving
the lie direct to the Republicans of 1860.

REPUBLICANS AND MONOP
OILY.

The House of Representatives, on
June 9TH, adopted a resolution looking
to the establishments by the Govern
meut Of All armor plate plant. The ex
tortionate prices charged by the Armor
Plate Trust for its products have made
the ownership and operation of such a
plant by the Government necessity.
To allow private corporations to hold q
monopoly Of things Indispensable to the
Government, and thereby to fleece the
public as the Armor Plate Trust. the
Powder Trust, the Beef Trust, the Coal
Trust, the Steel Ti'lst. and others have
done, is an III ,ardonable sin and
shame. II the t6rltf rates on trust pro-
ducts were reduced or abolished there
would be competition, which would
break down the monopoly that these
trusts now enjoy. But the Republican
politicians refuse to revise the tariff and
seem quite willing to vote appropria-
tons for trust products at monopoly
prices.

IMPRISONMENT FOR LAW
BREAKERS.

Even conservative people have come
to the Democratic contention that fin
ing corporations for breaking the law
of the land has but little effect and that
nothing short of imprisonment of the
officials will compel obedience to the
law. The enforcement of law, says the
New York Evening Post, is becoming a
hobby of executive officers and district
attorneys. The news of the day is full
of specific instances. Certain officials
OF the Department of Justice at Wash
ington are predicting that there will
soon be wholesale suits" against the
Standard Oil Company and the rail-
ways for violating the Elkins Anti-Re-
bate law. If, as well informed men
assert, the Garfield investigations have
uncovered 1000 illegal shipments over
a single road, there may be fines run.

Governor Pardons Harris.

Gov. Warfeld has pardoned
Harry w. Harris, convicted In
the Baltimore Criminal Court in
1900 of murder in the second de
gree and sentenced to 16 years in
the penitentiary. He killed his
wife. Harris was a witness for
the State in the Shippers trial,
having overheard a conversation
by him whilst in prison. 1t is said
his testimony went long way to-
wards convicting Shippers and it
was largely on this account that
he made a plea for executive
clemency. In some quarters the
Governor is criticised for granting
this pardon, as the crime was a
revolving one. Whilst the pen
atty of grst degree could not be
attached, the penalty Of 10 years
certainly suggests to a sentence to
fit the crime.

A FISH HOOK.
The One You should buy and the
Test You should Try.


Test You Should Try.
The most common flaw is the temper
Of the hook. Some hooks are brittle
and break easily. There are other
hooks still that bend, and bend so east
~ that they "straighten" on every big
fish, and yet other hooks that bend, but
bend so hard that a big fish never
fleXes them, and they only straighten
and come away when the full tension
Of the line is laid upon them if caught
on a tough Snag or tree bOugh. These
last are the hooks to buy-if you can
find them-and the hard breaking
hooks classlies next in merit. Tests by
the eye are quite useless, as so many
hooks carry exactly the same tints in
blue or black. Test the hook instead
By the hGnd. catching the point in a
firm bit Of wood and trying it out both
by the hard, firm pull and by the jerk.
Watch particularly in this trial for
weakness at the foot of the barb, where
the wire is apt to be attenuated over
much and the whole point give way
on strong fish, especially if hooked in
bone or very hard gristle. What vastly
depths of angling profanity, in spirit
if not in word, have been stirred in
boat and on bank when the pointless
hook comes away from the hard played
fish must be left to memOry.-Outing

The bill of the canary is built for
crushing seeds-has strength but in
many of the doves the bill is slender
and weak. Many of the pigeons and
doves that feed on seeds have gizzards
that are large and crushing

that way.
1t is difficult to say how much birds
experience taste, probably in a small
degree. Ducks and parrots have soft,
fleshy tongues, but in most birds much
of the tongue is sheathed in horn

Purity of Milk.

In Paris the muniA9al chemists ac-
cept milk as pure when it contains one
ounce of butter and four ounces of
solids per quart. At Bern milk must
contain at least per cent of butter
and may contain 80 per cent of water
At Berlin the police seize all milk Of
fered for sale which is below the legal
ly required standard of 81 per cent of
fatty matters. This allows the dairy
men to add with safety from 10 to 10
per cent Of water to fairly rich milk.

There is not such a great
amount of happiness in the world,
even at the best, that we should
risk losing it by our own mis-
deeds and i'll nature. There are
many people in life who may be
likened to briar bush, when one
comes too near he gets stung by
thOrns; but each indiv d ua |
should remember that he himself
is sometimes thorny and apt to
iufict wounds. Therefore each
one should be more lenient toward
the other, remembering that the
more one strives against such
things the deeper they penetrate
and the more painful wounds
they make. A spark of fire if
left to itself will eventually die
out, but if it be nurSed and fuel
added, behold what great con-
migration ensues. Forbearance
Is the only remedy, and although
everyone may not possess the un-
exampled patience of Job, yet,
what little they have may be cul-
tivated until things will be made
to go smoothly and easily.
