More than a week before the
supreme court made public its
decision in the Sherrick trial, It
was stated in the indianapolis

lana newspapers that the court
would reverse the verdict of con
viction and give Sherrick his
freedom. This is just what the
court did. but the wonder is
how the fact became known in
advance. Some one either made
a good guess or else there was a
leak.

THE MISSING MESSAGE.



One morning not a message from the White
House had been flashed;
The senate ever keen for tips, all Won
dered what to do.
No sooner would their hopes arise than
down they would be dashed.
From eye to eye, and lip to lip, the anN-
ious queries few;
Then buzzed a long. portentous ring upon
the telephone;
Quick Fairbanks grabbed the instrument
and pressed il to his ear;
'Tis from the president he cried, all
bllthe to make II known;
Keep quiet, boys, and I'll call on the
fateful words | hear"
Hello hello. and is this you, and is the
senate there -
I'm very sorry l was forced to keep you
waiting so,
But such hard luck l never saw, or seldom,
| declare,
thought I'd better ring you up and let
the senate know.

We've used up all our manifold, and type

So for the present moment message maxi
ing's to the bad.
But we have sent for some supplies, the
clerks have gone to rest,
And as for mere routine, perhaps, there's
naught for you to learn;
Now, don't get rash or radical, but simply

SERVICE PENSION BILL.
Provision of the Measure Pending I'm
the Sennte,

Chicago RecordHerald.
Senator McCumber is urging early con-
sideration OF service pension bill which
it is estimated would make necessary an
additional appropriation Of $1O,14,0OO to
pay the increased rate for soldiers OF the
civil war now on the rolls.
1t is difficult to give an accurate fore
cast Of the total expenditures which would
be necessary II this bill should be passed.
There was a large net loss IN the rolls be-
tween the fiscal years ending in 1905 and
in 1906, and the expenditures for the latter
year fell below the estimates They de-
creased from $li4,S62,OOO to $189 100000 the
difference being nearly 100000
The probabilities are that a steady de-
cline has set in under existing law and
that for a time It would be Offset by the
proposed new legislation If that should go
into effect. Under its provisions every
honorably discharged soldier who served
for ninety days in the civil war and who
shall have reached the age Of 81 years
would be entitled to a pension OF Sl2 a
month At 70 years the pension would be
raised to SIS and at Is TO 500. As the laws
now stand, the age of 81 or any greater
age is considered as If It were a specific
disability which entitled a soldier Of the
rebellion to a pension. The grading is:
At So years, Sc per month; after 65 years,
S.: after IS years, 80 and after 70 years,

PRopusEp PosrAeE RArEs.

The report OF Third Assistant Post
master General Madden is very i'm
portant document since It deals ex-
haustlvely with that portion of the
mail charged with being largely re-
sponsible for the great excess Of ex-
pendltures over revenues of the de-
partment But the scheme which he
proposes for revision of postage rates
Is in some features so radical that 1t
will certainly be challenged and should
be thoroughly reviewed and revised
by congress before enactment into
law
Jmmendation to reduce the
..-.- tiers of one ounce weight
or less from to l cent each looks
to a popular and desirable end,
though 1t would admittedly cause a
considerable loss of revenue. The
loss, however, would not be proper
Tomato to the cut in the rate, because
a great deal OF matter now car
ried under low class postage rates,
and often below actual cost of the
service, would be sent at the reduced
letter rate The reduction would be
relief especially to the commercial
community upon whom letter postage
at the present rate operates as very
material tax. The view heretofore gen
orally held has been that reduction of
letter postage should not be postponed
at furtherest longer than until such a
thorough revision and equalization of
the whole postage rate schedule could
be made to render the department self
sustaining or nearly so.
There is no assurance that such re-
suit would follow If the proposed
changes we're made, but it is certain
that such result, If it should follow,
would cause grave inequity between
important classes of postage payers.
The sheer advance of 800 per cent in
the rate on newspapers and PERIOD
cals,g which is now 1 cent a pound,
ignores the difference in cost of serv-
ice between newspapers and maya
zines. The circulation of the great
bulk of newspaper matter is local, av-
eraging, it is estimated, not over $50
miles, while that of magazines is gen
eral. At the time the present rates
were fixed no such situation existed or
could be foreseen, and a revision ought
to take it into account instead of per-
petuating it In the worst form.
Legitimate newspapers certainly will
not object to paying a fair rate for
postal service, but they and other
classes of patrons ought not to bear
the cost of distributing periodicals Of
an entirely different character. Neither
has it been shown that the present
newspaper rate is not fair one, TAX
ing into consideration all the posta
business which it stimulates and which
goes along with 1t.

THE PANAMA CONTRACT PROBLEM.

THE PANAMA CONTRACT PROBLEM
The report of the Panama commits
sion, while. covering in detail the oper-
ations during the year and corroborat-
ing the optimistic view expressed in
the presidents official message to con-
gress, necessarily omits the matter of
contracting for the work, which is now
the most important feature. But there
is otherwise evidence that the govern
ment is encountering difficulty to in
duce satisfactory contractors to bid
the time for proposals having again
been extended and the terms materially
amended for that purpose The. mag
nltude of the work is so immense that
few contractors are In position to un-
dertake it and the capitalists able to
supply the large funds required are
backward. The suspicion also is grow
ing that many who are able are really
influenced by unfriendliness.
The most serious point, whether in
all cases it is sincerely raised or not,
is the refusal of contractors to assume
the risk based on liability to govern
ment interference. The nature of the
undertaking compels the government,
because of its responsibility, to reserve
very large measure of control over
the contractors. On the other hand
the system of merely bidding on per
centage of profit on basis of cost
agreed between them and the govern
ment, ought materially to simplify and
minimize hazard.
While this big contract problem is
in course of solution the fact remains
that actual canal construction is new
! ertheless going forward at a steadily
increasing rate. and, even II private
contractors should fail to bid salts
factorily, the work will be carried on tc
completion by the government itself

should direct public attention to a fail
ure OF transportation adjustments and
should aid in the remedy II It takes
railroads and shippers between them
ten days to move a loaded car an av-
erage OF $50 miles and to load and un-
load it, whether the former or the lat
ter is mainly to blame, the time is too
long, entailing enormous loss of EN-
cheney. And Il what appears to be a
serious shortage of rolling stock should
continue or increase from failure Of
railroad facilities to keep pace with
growth of tonnage, the whole question
of loading as well as of moving the
cars may have to be taken under
stricter public regulation.

THE LANp FRAup CONVICTIONS.

AAAb - = AND r. 10 Z ~ WV ~ ACA'''
-Four more of the big cattlemen have
been convicted in the federal court for
this district for conspiracy TO defraud
the government out of large tracts of
the public domain. This outcome of
long and tedious trial in which the de-
PENDANTS had the advantage of the
ablest lawyers at their command and
sought refuge behind every possible
technlcality, is a signal vindication of
the prosecution instituted under orders
of the president
While they still have the privilege
of applying for a new trial and of an
appeal from the present verdict the
convicted cattlemen, formerly so de-
fiant, have. little claim for public SYM
pathy. From the evidence adduced
they seem to have acted on the theory
that they were above the law and that
their wealth and position would
guarantee them safe immunity from
being called to account. Not content
with long years of illegal occupancy
of thousands upon thousands of acres
of public land without payment for its
use when they saw that this condition
had to cease they bent their energies
to evade and defeat the law with
deliberate plot, involving wholesale
perjury OF hired confederates.
These cattlemen now convicted are
also chiefly responsible for the failure
of all legislation to relieve the situa-
ton, which has so embarrassed the
grazing interests of northwestern Ne
braska. Instead of trying to solve
the problem they persistently blocked
its solution, confident that by con-
tinuing unchanged the laws which
they were recklessly violating they
would continue to have the use of the
public lands without paying even a
rental to the government, much less
taxes to the state To their evil eX-
ample is to be ascrlbed the plight in
which the smaller cattlemen, many Of
them we'll intentioned, unfortunately
find themselves. With the law vindi-
Gated by the conviction of the big
malefactors, the public should be will
ing to see the utmost leniency and
mercy extended to the little fellows,
provided they will step up and plead
guilty without further ado.

when the democratic council came into
