THE PENNSYLVANIA SCANDAL.

The first thrust Of the Investigating
committees probe into the affairs OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
brought about more startling revela-
lions than even the inquiry into the
Equitable Afe Assurance Society
While the <Equitable's 60O.0 policy
holders formed a very large and in
nuential class of citizens, they are
greatly outnumbered, and the interests
vastly exceeded by those affected by
maladministration Of one Of the great
trunk lines Of the country. After ALL
comparatively few of us have policies
In the Equitable, while a full moiety
OF our whole population must have
business relations OF more or less fire.
Quency with line which connects IL
Of the greatest cities Of the country
and which Is one Of the main arteries
Of commerce for the densely-populated
section in which are New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington, Pitts
burg. Cleveland, Cincinnati. Toledo,
Columbus. Indianapolis Chicago, and
st. Louis.
The inquest was first started to de-
tefmine the relations o. the Pennsyi-
yania to the coal mining companies,
but the first witnesses developed such
widespread. all-permeating corruption
and wrong-doing that the investigation
could not be limited to that field, great
as 1t was. Unlike the Equitable, the
criminal malversation was not ia the
narrow circle Of the head MANAGERS.

Judge Smith Mcpherson, of the Unit

Mo-. which will have far-reaching i'm
portance. The Harvest King Distillins
Co. had asked that the American Ex-
press Co. be restrained from refusing to
transport packages destined to Missis-
sippi. The Company's action was based
upon recent Mississippi law imposing
a heavy fine upon anyone bringing
liquor into Local Option Counties. Al.
ready there are $500 packages of liauo,
billed for Mississippi, and IL the Com.
pany were TO deliver these it would
render itself liable TO fines aggregatinp

communication have only to say to you,
my comrades, that in what we have
done, and In the course we have taken.
we have acted according to our best
lights. I shall go to Minneapolis to rem
der an account Of my stewardship with
the full knowledge that while we shall
not be able to report very much accom-
plished in the matter of pensions. we
shall at least be able to report quite
step taken forward toward securing tho
desires Of our comrades, and l am
sorry to say 1T has been many a long
day since at any Annual Encampment
we have been able to listen. to any re-
port Of positive progress made of any
degree whatsoever.
In Fraternity. Charity and Loyalty,
IN
mander-in-C Chief.
Official: John Tweedale, Adjutant-
General.
Undoubtedly the Chief
and the distinguished comrades he cali
ed into his council have done all that
was possible under the circumstances,
and they deserve the grateful apprecia-
ton of the veterans everywhere for
their efforts. The incorporation of Or
der IS into the law of the land was a
decided benefit, practically and theoreti-
cally. Practically it made the allowance
Of pension to every veteran, at 62, a
vested right, which may not be dis
turbed by any official, high or low. The
whole of the pensions under the act OF
June q. 1890. were put on better basis.
Theoretically a great gain was made in
the progress toward a service pension,
which is bound to come, and that soon.

A MOST IMPORTANT "RIDER.,

Inc PRESIDENT Is daily AIDING 10 MS
amazing reputation for doing things"
One of the most startling was the re-
cent addition to the Agricultural ap-
preparation bill of rider-the Bev-
eridge amendment. There are reams
OF inside history connected with this
which the public may never know, as
1t Is not intended it shall. Some tine
ago Mr.. Sinclair wrote a book, "The
Jungle" which is a novel, but con-
tains whole lot OF stunning pictures
OF the conditions in the Chicago pack
ing houses. The President read this
He brought the matter to Secretary
Wilson's attention, who sent commits
sion Of investigation. but the President
went further and sent Messrs. ]. B.
Reynolds, a prominent social worker,
and Charles P. Neili, the Commissioner
OF Labor. to personally look into mat
ters for him. They made an oral report
Of the conditions that they discovered
and these were horrifying. If pub
lished they would injure the meat busi-
ness frightfully and the President,
calling some Of the packers to him,
pointed this out to them, telling them
that IL the matter were made public it
abroad. The packers were not SLOW
to recognize the force OF what he said,
and agreed to accept any sort of an in
spection law that he could have formu-
lated. They were impelled to this
ready agreement by the knowledge that
Sinclair is at work upon another book
which goes much more fully into the
subject.
The result was an inspection law put
as rider on the Agricultural appro-
priation bill and passed by the Senate
without a word Of discussion, and it
will go through the House in the sau:c
way. Heretofore the inspection has
stopped at the gates of the packing
houses. but hereafter every. piece of
meat will be followed clear to the can or
the refrigerator. 1t will involve an ex-
pense OF five or six cents q head Oh
each carcass, amounting to millions Of
dollars In the course OF year, but the
packers will pay this and pass it on
to the consumer. The Government has
provided Inspectors for meat which is
to be sent abroad and paid them out
Of the general fund, but the new In
spectors will be paid by the packers,
and consequently there will be enough
employed to meet all their opera
tons. The Agricultural Department
inspection has, therefore, been limited
by the amount OF money which Con-
gress would appropriate to pay for in
spection, and the smallness Of the num-
Der has seriously hampered our foreign
meat trade. Under the new law as
many men can be employed as the bust
ness requires. and there will be an as
surance that every piece Of meat passes
under vigilant eyes from the stock
yard to the consumer.

The anti-rebate law continues its
deadly work. George L. Thomas, a
freight broker OF Kansas City, and L.
B. Taggart, his clerk, have been found
guilty by the jury. and are therefore
liable to fine Of not less than $1,000
or more than $4,000 or Imprisonment
two years. The indictment against them
was for conspiring with the Freight
Traffic Manager of the Burlington Rail-
road to give rebates. This. with the
cases which have preceded II, supports
the contention that the Elkins law Is
sufficient to prevent the evil of rebates
