E. Doctored Meats.

Still the evidence against the Chl-
caco packing houses accountants, anu
the haste to improve conditions has
had little effect In stemming the tide
of popular opinion with Its many
fresh currents constantly augmentlng
the flow. 1t is now charged, from de-
vtlupmcuts toy secret service men, That
the beet trust has been using preser-
NATIVES to" doctor" tainted meats until
they could be showed OF on cOniid-
ing public. They were sent to CHI
cage, 10y order Of the President, to
ascertain the truth Of these rumors.
They have done their work well, and
will be able to add deliberate intent to
culpable neglect, in supplementary
count 10 the indictment that has al
ready brought the packers to their
knees.
These men had bullied the Govern
ment SO successfully, through the aid
of Garfield and Judge Humphrey, that
they supposed themselves immune"
from all consequences of their acts.
They probably did not know, or indeed
care, what atrocities had been perpe-
trated by their employees. and the in
vestigation has resulted doubtless in as
much OF a surprise to them as to the
country. 1t was simply because they
were on that blissful estate of oblivion
as to means or methods Of gathering
in the almighty dollar, SO long as it
came surely and willingly, that pre-
cipitated results.
1t is hardly possible that the threats
made OF political ostracism will have
much effect on the President, but the
combined pressure OF all trusts to save
this powerful ally may carry weight
with Congress and secure some modifi.
cation that will render the Beveridge
amendment imperative. The packers
are using even the farmers and smaller
stock.raisers, who have been so infa-
mously treated by them, to cat-paw
their interests. All the larger corpor.
alton are called upon for tribute, not
OF money, but o! influence, to aid in
this, their dire extremity. Bankers
handling trust funds. and those they
control, have been lined up; friends
and acquaintance in the social and
political strata, have been called to
take part in this titanic struggle, and
it will soon be seen whether those
owners of plethoric purses may be en-.
abled to poison the body as we'll as
corrupt the souls of humanity, to aid
in the struggle for wealth and power.
A few years ago it was thought that
the dark picture of social conditions
depicted by the author of "Casar's
Column" were too absurdly impossible
to be true. Who will take that view
now, during this saturnalia OF avarice
and greed? The germ existed then,
and its development and growth was
seen by president vision. In justifica-
ton of his baleful predictions, the
author then said:
"lf my message be true, it should be
given and the world should hear it. The
cancer should be cut while there is yet
time. Any other course
Twill hut skin and film the ulccrous place,
While rank corruption, mining all beneath,
Infects unseen"

SEATTLE REFUSES TO PAY DONATION.
The Examiner OF the 9Th inst. says
that Seattle refuses to pay the official
donation of $4,000 to the suffering
people of San Francisco. It is based
upon a Seattle dispatch of that date
which states that the warrant for that
amount had been Cancelled by the
City Treasurer, on the ground that the
ordinance authorizing it was passed at
special meeting OF the Council, instead
Of regular meeting. and was therefore
illegal. 1t also states that the goods
furnished which the warrant was to
cover payment for, were such as, un.
der ordinary circumstances, would have
been condemned, and Mayor Moore
is referred to as having expressed that
opinion.

Democratic Prediction Verified.

Is not the following a remarkably
candid confession of all that was
claimed by the Democratic party in
lS9G? And that too from the Wall
Street .News, the organ of the gold
bugs, then, now and all the time, their
mouthpiece. Though the confession
comes late, it is ample in its scope:
However desirable it was to defeat
the free silver agitation in ls!E. did the
end Justify the means employed To ac-
complish that defeat? Is it now too
much to say that the money spent in
lSai Ia prevent the election of Hryan
resulted in political drhaurhrry, such as
was never before experienced in the
United States, and from which the
politics and business Of this country
have not yet recovered? 1t is not far
from the truth to say that the country
has suffered more by reason OF the
political corruption Of the 1896 cam
paign than it would have suffered from
the triumph of free silver, lamentable
as that would have been. Bryan $
triumph of free silver would have given
the markets terrible shock, but Bryan
could not have really done much harm
in practical way, and the country
would have made speedy recovery
from the disaster, but it will take many
wears to recover from the effects OF the
political debauchery which has been
brought about 10y the use of millions
of dollars i'll political campaigns.

SHAM NAVAL BATTLE.-The mobi-
LIKING of the British navy, as it is
called, was on last week, off the Irish
coast. 1t was the greatest aggregation
of fighting vessels ever held. A total
OF 1926 warships and 10000 men parti-
cipated in the mimic warfare. The
force assigned for the maneuvers was
devided into two fleets, the red and the
blue, the former representing the Brit
ish, consisted OF 235 vessels, including
sc torpedo boats and submarines; and
the invaders were given 80 warships,
without torpedo boats or submarines,
which seems to have been an unfair
assignment at the outset. The tactics
embraced attack and defense of the
the coast, in which torpedo craft and
submarines played an important part !;
and second, defense Of seaboard COM
merce and food supplies, and at the
same time maintaining defense of the
English coaet. The British won, of
course, and it may have been fair
enough to impose handicap Of small
er number on the aggressor, from the
the acknowledged superiority of the
English navy when compared with all
possible aggressors.

The Bryan boom, even now in its
incipiency, is only beaten by the
clamor for Roosevelt, two years ago,
after bis candidacy had been practi-
cally forced upon his party by the
death OF its wisest counsellor and most
adroit manager, Mark Hanna. It has
swept like fire on the plains wherever
there have been gatherings of men OF
his faith, radical or conservative. 1t
carries with it all that was required in
the last two preceding campaigns Tor
success, unity; and it is fair to assume
that even Roosevelt, who was swept
on to victory by fortuitous combina.
iion of circumstances, would be power.
less to stem the tide of popular favor
that is now surging towards the fair,
honest, outspoken friend OF the people,
William J. Bryan. Remember the
prediction.

Chicago packing houses has been sub

ghasty document as any President
has ever had the surruw To transmit t.
Compress 1t is one al thu-c -irk, illg
exposes that l. alm"-t too had t. print
and yet whose suppression would be
iueXcu~ablc. Possibly q god many
thought after all that had been print
ed about the pachiug-h houses, that the
official report would help to put mat
tiers in a little better light. But this
is not the case. The report is solely
eyewitness testimony. The two COM
missioners say they report merely
what they saw, eliminating all hcarsay
testimony. And the conditions they
reveal are 50 revolving that one is al.
most tempted To hold his nose while
rcadiDg the report.
This publication the packers brought
upon themselves. They felt go sure of
being able to control Congress that
they tried to distort the Beverage
amendment in the House, and they
had the whole condition OF their char
mel house laid bare The President
has already forbidden the further use
OF a government inspection label, ex.
cept to show that the animal it covers
was slaughtered in the presence of
government officer. He says in his
letter of transmittal to Congress that
he will forbid the use hereafter OF gov.
eminent labels on any canned stuff, if
there is a further attempt to thwart q
proper inspection law.
Commissioners Neill and Reynolds
say in their statement that the law, as
it now stands, is a farce, and that the
government inspection liable is lie
and forgery, Intentionally misleading
and deceiving. They give a series OF
suggestions in line with spirit OF the
Beveridge bill, designed to secure fair
inspection of law and its enforcement.
But there was one thing they might
easily have recommended, but have
overlooked. 1t is the thing that the
humane societies OF the United States
have long urged, and that is. that the
slaughter business in Chicago, st.
Louis, Omaha, Kansas City and else.
where, should be broken up altogether
and that the cattle should be slaugh.
tered at the points where they were
raised. It is really cheaper to trans.
port meat in refrigerator cars than it
is to transport live cattle. People who
have seen the dreadful cruelties prac-
ticed on suffering cattle while being
railroaded to market will realize that
the meat OF such suffering beaste lie un-
questionably injured for food purposes.
Packing-houses under proper and san.
itary conditions, we probably must
have. in the large cities. But if the
slaughtering and inspection were done
10 the country, both would be better
done and a world of useless suffering
to the cattle be saved.

PACKERS FOUND GUILTy.-To add
to their tribulations the leading pack
ing houses have been found guilty
in the Federal Court at Kansas Of
accepting concessions in restraint of
trade. The Armour Co., Swift & Co.,
Cudahy & Co., and the Nelson. Morris
Packing Co., were the parties involved.
The Judge, Smith Mcpherson, OF Red
Oak, announced that sentence would
not be passed until the action against
the Burlington railroad is concluded,
which is charged with granting the
concessions.

riddled with holes and it is said the
smaller craft emerged from the con-
test looking as if she had been through

the cause of war was that the captain
had shipped a non.union crew, al

men. Then the launch approached
and made fast to the schooner. It
was ordered to cast off, which it did
and its crew began firing at the vessel.
It was when shots began striking un.
comfortably close to his men that the
captain ordered them to return the

HEALTH AND GOVERNMENT IN HARD
LAEoR.-In our last paper we gave an
account OF how one woman had at
tanned a competence, for her, with
what realty she had likewise secured,
by the hard drudgery of cooking in a
logging camp. Another instance is
afforded of ability for seli-support by
honest toll. as shown by circumstances
that have just come to our knowledge.
A widow woman, living in the suburbs
of our city, has four children besides
hereelf to support, which she does by
the hardest of manual labor. When
she is not employed on some preca.
rious wage occupation, she goes into
the adjacent timber with a cross. cut
saw and and ak, and cuts splits her
summer and winter wood, and then
trundles it ON a barrow to her home,
which is fortunately not very far dis.
tant from fallen forest trees. She is
brown as nut from exposure, but can
boast of good health and well.devel-
oped muscles. 1t seems rather hard
luck that women should have to do
such "men's work." but this instance
certainly carries the conviction that it
is decided benefit, if robust health
is a compensation for hard labor and
an abandonment of feminine GUS
tom. This woman, the other day, had
her COW impounded for walking on the
street, and she says that it is the only
dollar she has hesitated to pay, for it
represented q whole day OF saving,
splitting and carrying, for the simple
privilege OF brute walking on streets
that are still in the condition which
nature placed them.
