The Packers Santa Claus.

The apparent attempt Of the packers
to poison the public mind in the case
now pending, by making Christmas
presents to reporters, will not material
ly affect the case, since it is not being
tried in the newspapers. But it goes to
show that the packers are not so sweet
and innocent as they would have. peo-
pie think. They took originally the
high and mighty ground that they were
being prosecuted, that the tremendous
machinery of the federal government
had been turned upon them in an effort
to crush. them to make a political holt.
day. Mysterious hints and then broad
limitations were given out that Mr..
Garfield had come among them and OBJ
tanned confidential information and that
on this confidential information they
had been. indicted. They published: a
letter written by the president to his
attorney general, which they claimed
showed that the president had sent the
commissioner of corporations: to them
to worm their secrets from them, under
promise of immunity, and then had
played up the department Of Justice to
indict the packers. r>: 81
We have not heard lately SO much
about the claim Of immunity, probably
because Mr.. Garfield has been present
every day in court and because The gov

grand jury in Chicago finds indictments
against the packers it will be because
plentiful evidence of violation of the
law has been presented to them. Moth

judge in charging a jury.
Now the counsel for the packers are
found sowing money among the report

ROBERT NELSON STEPHENS

DEAD.-Messrs: L., C. Page and COM
pany Monday, received a cablegram
from Bournemouth, England, announc-
ing the death Of Robert Nelson Steph-
ems, who has been on their list OF
authors for several years.
Mr.. Stephens will be remembered as
the author of some eight or nine ro-
mances, brought out by this house, best
known among which are perhaps can
Enemy to the King" (Which was dra-
matized and presented by Mr.. Sothern),
"Philip Winwood,' ''Captain Raven
shaw "The Bright Face of Danger
and ''The Flight of Georgiana,' his
last work. .a 3.'fi '.-a
For many years MI. Stephens had
been waging manly fight with the
cause Of his death, consumption, and
had lived abroad for several years, in
the hope that change Of climate might
be beneficial.
It is worthy of note that, under the
circumstances, he wrote such vivid To-
mances, bright with life and laughter,
full Of movement and action, that no
reader could possibly guess the truth.
Like Robert Louis Stevenson, he stead
lily put aside his own condition, and
devoted himself to the very last to his
chosen work.
The sale of Mr.. Stephens books has
already reached over the 100000 mark,
and they will delight readers of TO
mantle fiction for years to come.

A SENATOR IN THE OPEN
Nebraska, State Journal.

1 NeDrdSKH Slate JOuTIIsdI'
Senator Burkett, the first Nebraska
senator to be chosen thru an open nomi-
nation by the state convention of his
party, has written a letter to a railroad
employee in which he declares:
'"The public feel that they want some
body with governmental authority to
stand between them and the railroads as
an arbiter in the great controversies that
come up between the two. I want to be
perfectly frank with you and say to you
that the admissions that the railroads
have made themselves in the evidence
that their own officials have given in
regard to rebates, etc.,: makes me believe
that the government should have some
body possessing proper authority over
them as this arbiter.' r-.

STUDYING THE LAW
Kansas City Times.

Suppose the claim Of the packers is
true, and that Commissioners Garfield in
duced or forced them to give evidence
that they violated the antirebate law. If
their testimony was true why should 1t
not convict them? If the evidence is not
admissible, then the country could not
afford to pass law for publicity In the
affairs of trusts, because a trust might
show that it had spent 100000 to cor
rupt a legislature and say, you cannot
punish me because I gave the evidence
under compulsion Of the law ''

4 Well, thought in my present

roine to have some nice long braids,

were really an attractive feature of

On day last week the sketch was
going very we'll up to the moment
that the heavy coat comes off. The
audience seemed to be right with me

there was a shrek of laughter
Il was astonished. / don't know

There were no braids. l looked upon

which had probably been switched
off by the coat.

Just what to do. The laughter was
subsiding, and then my leading man
came to the rescue. He delivered the
