Summary Of Ebenfs as They Happen


Norway and Spain are hunting fcr
means Of stopping the emigration
which it is claimed is weakening the
productive power Of those nations.
They have our best wishes in this
laudable effort.
Traction Frauds in New York.
The affairs of the rotten street rail-
ways in New York have at last got
ten into court and the stencil is some
thing dreadful. Hearst American
and Journal estimate the direct steal
age at little less than 20 millipns
of dollars. Yellow dog funds, rotten
stock and bond issues, huge sums ex-
pended without vouchers and the
checks destroyed, all go to make mp
a bit Of "high finance" not sur
passed in our annals by the high
fnanciers who have given US so many
object lessons in the past few years.
Socialists Riot.
Socialists made the NEST riotous
demonstration ever seen in New York
last Sunday afternoon in the Cooper
Union, where they made determined
effort to break up meeting of the
Federation of Italian Societies, called
to protest against the recent action
of the italian government against the
clergy and The outrages to which Car
dinal Merry del Val, Papal Secretary
of State, among others, had been sub
jected during the present agitation.
For twenty-five minutes he dis
turbers, who were all Italians, held
the police at bay, and it was not un-
til Captain Short with twenty men
hurried over from the Fifth street
station to the rescue of Lieutenant
Powers and the eight men on duty
that order was restored and the meet
ing was permitted to continue.
Nine men, supposed ring-leaders,
were arrested and hundred more
were beaten by the police AMI thrown
out into the street In the Night
Court eight Of these men paid fines
of SIS each on the technical charge Of
disorderly conduct.
"If You fellows want to protest
against the Pope" said Magistrate
Crane, in fning the men. "go hire
hall for yourselves. Yen cannot go
into peaceful gathering of citizens
and act in this manner. IF you don't
like the Pope, go back where you
came from and tell him So
The call fol the meeting had been
sent out to eighteen different church
es and long before the time set for
the opening, three o'clock, every seat
was taken and hundreds clamored
at the doors for admission.
On the platform sat some Of the
most distinguished priests Of the
Roman Catholic Church in N. Y,
laymen of varying creeds and clergy
of other denominations Among them
were the Right Revs. Lavelle, Rector
Of st. Patrick 3 Cathedral, Mooney,
of Old st. Peters; Kearney, the ven
erable rector of the old st. Patrick's

The Mckinley Mausoleum.


soleum In honor of President McKin-
ley has been dedicated. Addresses
were delivered by President Roose-
welt, former Secretary Of State VIM.
R. Day, and the Governor of Ohio.
The mausoleum is stately struct-
ure rivaling those to President Grant
at New York and President Garfield
at Cleveland.
Jno. D. Rockefeller Talks.
The old man is growing garrulous.
Since our last issue he has talked
about three columns to the reporter
of the New York Journal The sub
iect of his few remarks was the beau
ty of combination" and its great
work in our economic system. He
opines that it is a natural evolution,
that those gentlemen who have been
engaged in perfecting the system are
patriots and public benefactors, that
the system will continue to grow with
no steps backward, and that the time
is not distant when everything will
be combined, prosperity will be uni
versal, and happiness will be every
body's portion. May be so, may be
so, but we have our doubts. Human
nature is powerful contrary. When
a little fellow who wants to run
small grocery, or dry goods store, is
combined into $13 per week
clerk in a big department. store, he
has a knack Of being dissatisfied.
He may be dead wrong, but the
trouble is to make him see it.
1t may be true that we would all
be happy if we would only employ
say six Rockefellers and givg them
five hundred millions each to combine
and run everything, but the Lord has
SO constituted us, that we would
rather remain "uncombined and
take our chances Of happiness, than
to be combined and made happy in
spite Of ourselves. Mr.. Rockefeller,
no doubt, spoke in all sincerity, he
is too honest to speak otherwise, but
we opine that most Of the folks pre-
fer more liberty and less combina-
ton, and unless we are mistaken they
are getting ready to hx things that
way.
The Looting of Alaska.
In late issue of the Seattle Post
Intelhgencer, Fred. NJ. Brooks tells
of the looting of Alaska now in full
tide. It is the old story over again.
When few years hence the people
begin to wake up on the wonderful
resources Of Alaska it will be discOv-
cred that the Smelter Trust owns the
country and another trust owned rot
ten borough will be knocking for ad-
mission to the Union. 1t seems that
in the long and rugged coast range
Of the Southern and Eastern part Of
Alaska there are only five practicable
passes to the interior. The Smelter
Trust have grabbed four OF these
passes. The fifth one lies near the
town Of Valdez and when the peo-

form, lest we forget"
The Cotton Convention.
The big convention alluded to last
week is now in session in Atlanta. It
is composed Of Foreign and American
Spinners and American growers. It
is largely attended and attracting
much interest. The city is gaily dec.
GRATED and the delegates are being
entertained sumptuously. AS near as
We can judge of the 72 hours which
the convention will cover, II hours
will be devoted to business, and the
remainder to entertainment and rest.
If the convention can devise some
plan whereby the cotton grower can
grow, harvest and market his crop in
one-sixth of the year, it viii cover it.
self with glory. Some Of the delegates
tell US that there is strong senti-
ment among both spinners and grow
ers against the spectators. 1t is to
be hoped that this sentiment will crys-
tallize into action.
Reform in Georgia.
1t will be remembered that last year
reform campaign was fought ana
won In Georgia It will also be re-
membered that the Atlanta Constitu.
ton was "agin" the reforms. After
the election The Constitution became
sort Of reformer too, but uneasy
because fearing the reformers would
go too fast and too far. On last Sun,
day Its young man having made a
round Of certain prominent business
men in Atlanta, the Constitution
made report.
1t seems that a majority of these
business men share the anxiety Of
The Constitution and fear that we
are too radical. We notice however
that some Of the business men are not
"skeered" and assert strongly that
they do not fear any evil effects on
business from the doing a little JUS
tice. In the editorial columns of the
same issue, The Constitution prints
the powers Of the Canadian Railroad
Commission from which it appears
that our little commission is to the
Canadian commission as cooling
dove is to roaring lion.
Independence League Organization.
Hearst's Independence Lsaguers
have been holding a convention in
New York with representatives from
80 states and their action looks sus-
piciously Like the shying into the ing
of national politics of the "Castor"
of a new political party.
Ohio Municipal Campaigns.
In addition to the very lively cam
paign in Cleveland, both Cincinnati
and Toledo have very interesting con-
tests. In Cincinnati the Democrats
have renominated Mayor Dempsey,
who has made a good record. The
unsavory Boss Cox is again in charge
of the Republican machine and has
nominated Leopold Markheit who is

grip on the pass for all time to

Hindus in Canada.
1t is now charged that the influx
of Hindus into the Canadian North
west is being promoted by the Cana
dian Pacific Steamship Company.
This being so, it is evident that the
c. P. S..Co. is twin brother to the
Atlantic Steamship lines which for
years past have been so busily en-
gagged in promoting immigration of
low grade Europeans into our own
country. The desire for dividends on
the part of corporations seems to be
the Zone touch of nature which makes
all corporations kinfolks.''
A Bigger Navy.
Admiral Bob Evans has been inteR
viewed and says we must have big
ger navy or quit. The Admiral is
clearly Of opinion that we must have
the biggest navy in the world or cease
to be world power. Great thing to
be a world power, isn't it7 Never
mind the cost. We must be 1T. What
is the good of our fruitful plains,
and golden hills, our mighty rivers
and splendid harbors, if we are not
going to outshine everybody else3
These things were not given to us to
enable us to build a great, prosperous,
peaceful, just, contented nation at
tending wisely to its own affairs and
giving other people a chance to at
tend to theirs. Oh, no! They were
given to us so that we might get to
be the biggest fish In the stream, the
leader Of world powers, the maker
of civilization to order for lesser ma
tions, cleaner up of the premises Of
other people even if our own backyard
is full of tin cans, old newspapers
and chicken bones.
If We insist on being a mighty
'world power" with all the trim
mings, by all means let us have the
big "navee."
The President Talks.
The President on his trip down the
Mississippi made several speeches not
however making any new points until
at Memphis he brought out the fact
that he has decided to call Nation
al Convention for the purpose Of dis
cussing how best to preserve our Ma
tional Resources and stop the prodi-
gal waste now going on. The plain
people of the country could probably
give some pretty straight tips on this
question.
The Cost Of Rail Roads.

devoted much space in its last two is

Florida has given for the construc-
ton of railroads in that State IT,
