THE REAL ISSUE.

An effort is apparently made to arouse SYM
pathy with the meat packers in the fight against
the federal government by telling what heavy
losses they have suffered and are suffering
through the publication of the report of the
government inspectors. "One-third Of their
business "S20OO0,0O0 in ten days." and the
like, are the statements made to show what
terrible thing the President has done Whether
these estimates of loss are true or not we do not
know. We should be much surprised If there
had not been a marked decline in the demand
for the products of Packingtown. But what has
that to do with the case?
The real question at issue is whether the re-
port of the inspectors is substantially accurate
whether the conditions described In 1T really
exist. The whole case rests upon the answer to
that question. If that report is untrue founda-
tonless undoubtedly a great wrong has been
done to the packers, and the losses suffered
by their industry are exceedingly deplorable
But If that report is true if it is substantially
correct, If even onehalf of 1t is true we must
say frankly that the meat packers have nobody
but themselves TO blame for their losses and
that it would be better to have not merely one
third but the whole threethirds, of their busi-
suspended than to have such practices con-
tinued
The odOr of Chicago meat is too rank for the
chase to be diverted by the dragging of any
such red herring across the trail. The govern
ment will stick to its work for clean and health
full meat and the American nation will back 1t
up In so doing. There will be no turning aside
TO weep over the losses caused by the stoppage
of tainted traffic. If it comes to a question of
losses, there will be much to cOunterbalance the
complaints of the packers But that is not vet
the question. The real issue is one of facts

1t is q pleasure to commend Magistrate Breen

The farcical legerdemain In the pretended mi

a crude and impudent attempt to make the law
a mockery. The section in question: while It
condemns brutal ring fights, permits under GER

mate social amusement and proper physical
culture but in this case the provisions of that
section have been used as a cloak to make mer-
chandise of their violation. Prizehghting or
anything akin to ii, such this encounter
seems to have been. is hostile to modern
civilization. But whether such exhibitions are
liked or dsliked by few by many matters
not; the law is against them, and the law. above
all things, must be upheld. The section of the
Penal Code invoked in this have no
meaning at all if it is not to prevent the doing of
the very things of which these defendants are
apparently guilty.
These utterances bear a close and exceedingly
pleasing resemblance to the terms In which
English judges frequently rebuke insolent at

"HOTBEDS OF ANARCHY"

Our neighbors of Paterson seem to be un-
duly concerned over suggestions that the plot to
murder the King and Queen of Spain was
formed in their city. The probability is that
these suggestions groundless, and of
course it is not pleasant for city to have such
a thing incorrectly imputed to it. But the COM
mon law rule holds good. The onus of proving
that Paterson was the scene of the conspiracy
rests upon others. Until that Is proved Pater-
son is to be regarded innocent.
Yet even if that We're proved, we have no
idea 1t will be- Paterson would have no cause
to mourn as those without hope. That city has
a large foreign population in its vast indus
trial establishments, including, doubtless some
persons Of criminal proclivities The same is
true of other cities-of New York, of Chicago or
Boston and of San Francisco. But these cities
are not therefore, utterly condemned Both

to it. Chicago was not wholly blasted nv tho
