Capt VIM. H. Van Schaick, of the i'll
fated steamer General Slocum, which was
burned in Long Island Sound in June,
1904, while crowded with excnrsionists,
causing the death of 1 900 persons-men,
women and children, entire families in
some instances being wiped out, has been
found guilty of criminal negligence in
the courts of New York, for failing to
have fire drills on the steamer, and sen
fenced to ten years Imprisonment.
The courts should not stop with the
Captain in dealing out justice. as he is
in no wise any more to blame than are
the owners of the boat and the govern
ment inspectors, the one for failure to
equip the caft with efficient fire fighting
apparatus and life preservers. and the
other for certifying that the boat was
properly equipped, in face of the fact that
both fire apparatus and life preservers
were so rotten as to be entirely useless
when needed. Severe punishment should
be melted out to these. the real culprits.

Government Aid To Railroads.

The ten-year period immediately pre-
ceding the Civil War was particularly
prolific in land grant legislation. Gen
erous donations of virgin territory could
be had for the asking-if one knew how
to ask. 1t was in this period that the
millions upon millions of acres of the
public land in the Middle West were
squandered upon the railroads. This
land was of wonderful fertility, and but
to tickle the soil with the pillow was to
bring forth the most bountifnl of harvests.
The territory was bound to be settled.
It was sure to make great traffic for the
railroads. There was no occasion for
Government aid, except in the further
ance of private graft; for the railroads
were absolutely certain to be built as the
legitimate demand for them developed.
The purpose of railroad construction in
this period, however, was not ordinarily
to meet legitimate demand, but, as it
was excellently put by Governor Cum
Minis, of Iowa, in his statement to the
Senate Committee "Men built railroads
not to help future generations nor to
develop the country, but either to secure
immense land grants -. or to make
profit out of the construction of the i'm,
provement by the sale of an exaggerated
issue of stocks and bonds
The land grant established basis of
credit; the projected road was bonded for
all it would stand, which was often great
ly in excess of its honest value; aud the
insiders" who controlled the stock and
management, formed construction COM
panies and built the roads often at enor
nous and unconscionable profits to
themselves.
Manipulation upon manipulation fol-
lowed-of capitalization, rates, traffic
and assets generally. Roads were boom
ed and wrecked by turns. Stockholders
we're frozen out, bondholders were misled
and swindled, private and public trustees
were seduced from probity and virtue,
branch roads were built as private enter

upon the main lines at fabulous advances
ON their actual cost. Through it all the
"insiders" reaped the golden harvest at
every turn and became great maguates
and captains of industry.
Many of the successful" men of that
period have gone to their last reward;
others are with us still and are among
the most insistent and vociferous in op.
posing rate regulation aud urging upon
the lawmakers and the public the sacred
ness of the vested interest," which they
represent. Mr.. Lawson has given us
some startling disclosures as to latter-day
financial jugglery, hut the "Napoleons'
of the earlier day, in their cold blooded
game of graft, were not "slow" by any
means -W. G. Foerns, in Watson s
Magazine.

Another big coal strike now seems i'm
miuent, as the United Mine Workers OF
America in national convention assem-
bled have unanimously voted not to
accept the existing wage scale after April
/, the time of expiration of the pres
emit agreement between the mine owners
and workers. Unless a compromise is
effected before that time $4,000 miners
will go out on strike. Both bituininous
and anthracite miners will be affected and
the industrial struggle bids fair to be even
more bitter than the recent big coal strike
which President Roosevelt played such
an important part in bringing to close
after the operators had made their ride
ulous claim of "divine right" and refused
to treat with the miners.
The great anthracite strike with II:
attendant scarcity and high price of fuel
and widespread inconvenience, loss and
suffering is fresh in the memory of OIL
readers, and the rumblings of the APP
preaching clash between the coal baron!
aud miners are heard with apprehen
sion. The cry is going up Throughout
the land for the government to wres
the control of the mines from these harsl
task masters. and operate them for th'
benefit of the whole people, the same a
the postal business is conducted. Thi
would settle the strike question once an'
for all, as who ever heard of a strike o
the employees of the United StatS
postal department. But SO long 4
the mines and other great publ
utilities are permitted to remain in nh
hands of few persons who are swaye,
by. their selfish interests and greed, as
The case at present, we may expect thes
periodic clashes between capital AM
labor, which are attended with so mucl
loss, distress and suffering to the familie
of the workers.
Some idea of the loss to the industria
and commercial world from one of thes
strikes where thousands of workers ar
concerned may be had from the estimated
cost resulting from the anthricite strik'
of three years ago, when the loss in wage
10 the miners was computed to b.
SIS, 900, 600, loss of profits to the operators
$50 ooo, 900, and loss in freight to rail
roads $25, ooo, 900.

Among the Representatives in Con-
gress who are eudeavoring to get bills
before that National body which would
bring about legislation effectually break
up blind tigers and speak-easies that
flourish because of certain technical
protection that is afforded by the United
States, is Mr.. Pearre, of Maryland, who
has a bill before the ways and means
committee of the House. to aid States IN
the enforcement of their prohibitory laws.
Representative Pearre has two local option
counties in his district, Garrett and
Montgomery.
The committee is worrying over num-
erous of these bills, which have for their
purpose the strengthening of prohibitory
laws wherever in force, and which it is
pretty safe to predict will all be pigeon
