Two CompanIes to Leave.

Preparations for tfie departure of the Seventh and Ninth Companies of Coast Artillery, which have been stationed at Fort Barrancas for the past ten years. are being made by the officers and men of the two commands. They are to go to Forts Warren and Banks. near Boston, and the TWO companies now stationed there are to come to Fort Barrancas. The troops are to be moved by an army transport which are first to bring the two companies from Boston. and on the return trip the two local companies will embark. The men of these commands have fam lilies at the post. many having. mar ried since they began service here. and in such instances they have been given the alternative of remaining or departing. Those with families who desire tN remain have been allowed to transfer to other companies, there be- ing seven stationed at the fort, and in their places men have been taken from other commands who desired to go to other places. The charge is being made with view of better satisfying the men, some of whom became dis satisfied after remaining at one post for a number of years.

WICKER IS CONVICTED
END or A FAMOUS LAND GRAFT
 CASE
GeorEfan, Who Brought Negroes te Florida as Homesteaders, to Acquire Turpentine Rfghtn
 Found Guilty by Court.

Pensacola, Fla. March s.-(Special. ) --After consuming over two days the famous case of E.. l.. Wicker came to a close in the United States Court this morning. when the jury after remain ing in the room for about four hours returned verdict of guilty as charg- ed.
 The charge against vickers was that of entering Into conspiracy to de- fraud the Government of large tracts of timber land in Washington County. The defendant is a prominent naval stores operator of Georgia, residing In small town known as Tipton, and 1t was alleged that about a year ago he entered into scheme to work tracts of land in this State for turpentine purpose. Securing about 100 negro families from various places in that State he brought them to Florida, and they made application to the Land Of- flee for homestead entries
 These were recorded and the required fees paid. but later the Government dis- covered that there was an irregularity, which resulted in the homestead ent- ries being cancelled, and later the ar- rest of Wicker upon the charge of con- spiracy to defraud the Government. All of the land homesteaded is in Washington County, Fla. and amount ed to over 15,000 acres. The Govern
 
 this land was used by vickers who clipped the trees for gum.

That, by way of preface, to a burst of ~eloquence IL
eht from the Senator's lips. Hearken
duty we'll done.

That. by way of preface, to a burst of e1oquence the other
night from the Senator's lips. Hearken:
Conditions in this country have assumed a very dangerous
aspect. 1 am n prophet, but from my observation of current
events and existing conditions, I see only one result-an inevi-
table revolt, a panic in which the whole land will suffer.
Socialism is partly responsible for this. 1t is a force that
has gradually developed and grown, until now it is a con-
dnion that the country will eventually have to eradicate entire
ly Or bow down before it. Socfaistc tendencies are apparent
everywhere Mobocracy holds the upper hand. People have
lost all confidence in capitalists.
IT'S a doleful picture, to be sure, but pessimism matches the
Senator's complexion. One consolation that he has with all of
us in common is that, while some capitalists may not al
be as popular as they once were, nothing can dim the
public regard for the representative in the New York Legisla-
ture of the Seventh, Senatorial District. He stands alone
unique and incompatible. J. M.

A VOTING MACHINE QUEST.

It is suggested that the Hahn COM
mittee, or some other committee, should
look into the job by which the voting
machines were fastened upon thisS State,
and at a cost of more than a quarter
of a million dollars. An investigation
of State expenditures should certainly
take in that big item. The voting ma
chine bill was introduced by Senator
wakelee, and it was lobbied through
by the aid of certain State officials.
A bill contemplating contracts for hum
dreds of thousands of dollars is not
boosted through the Legislature ex-
clusively on its merits.
There was no public demand for vot-
ing machines when the act was passed,
and the public was kept in the dark
as to the financial dimensions of the
contracts to be made under it. The
price charged. and paid, for the ma
chimes was excessive. Only n firm
supplies the machinel The Voting Ma
chine Commissioners simply carry out
the law n are not responsible for its
creation or operation. Other men are,
and It should be the duty of an In
v~estigating committee to smoke them
out and learn the rue inwardness of
the voting machine job.

THE rwo-cENT RATE Law

''If there can be any doubt says
Senior Vice-President Brown, of the
New York Central Railroad, as to the
fairness of the two-cent fare law in
the State of Pennsylvania, where the
population to the square mile is vastly
greater than that of any of the West
ern States where similar laws have
been passed, it seems to me it must
remove the question from the realm of
doubt in such States as Missouri, Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska"
A majority of the Western States
have enacted two-cent fare laws, and
their constitutionality will probably be
decided by the United States Supreme
Court in it's opinion in the Pennsyl-
vania case. 1t is possible hat some
of these States will see the policy of
repeating their laws before the court
shall decide as to their constitution
ality.
New Jersey has kept aloof from such
legislation, and wisely. There would
be nothing to gain but litigation, and
there would be much to lose by the
adjustment of all communication, ex-
cursion and special rates of fare.

OCEAN GROVES oLIGARoHY.

Revolt within and against the semi
religious oligarchy that governs Ocean
Grove and exercises functions tina a
State cannot delegate to any private
corporation is rife, and the end of this
anomaly of government in New Jersey
is not far removed. BY taking advan-
tage of an old charter for a camp by
the seashore the Ocean Grove close
corporation has usurped powers it has
no more right to use than the mar on
the street. Granting such right, it
would be in the power of n set of
men 20 form a corporation and estab-
lish an exclusive government anywhere
in the State, using the States taxing
power, denying representation and CIV
ing no account of the finances.
All government that is unrepresenta-
tive and confined TO an organized few
becomes arbitrary and despotic, as the
Ocean Grove government has been, and
such a government is a fragrant viola
ton of the great principle of american
government and of the Constitution.
At Ocean Grove the governing power
is based upon the relationship of land
lord and tenant. All the powers of a
municipality are exercised by a pro-
prietary body that perpetuates itself,
is without any responsibility. and rules
several thousand people as vassals. 1t
has grown so insolent that no COM
plants are entertained, nc information
is given, and the tenants are COM
PEELED to pay without knowing the
wherefore. Improvements common to
small towns are denied. AT the same
time the governing body pays no taxes.
While the Federal Government is in
vestigating the trusts the State can as
consistently investigate the affairs of
the Ocean Grove close corporation, and
an Investigation is invited by a large
number of the exasperated inhabitants,
There is a large annual income which
is not accounted for publicly, and that
is worth looking into. Long n UNI
restrained power breeds abuses. But
the character of this government, the
denial of representation, the arbitrary
use of the Landlord" power, these fea-
lures of Ocean Grove government call
for a critical inquiry, and the Legis-
lature should provide for one.

HOW COMPULSORY ARBITRATION
WORKS,

Compulsory arbitration has always
been looked upon askance by organ
lied labor in this country. Instinct has
been against it. Perhaps the reason
can be found in the latest development
of the New Zealand system of COM
promising the differences of capital and
labor. New Zealand has a compulsory
arbitration law. Under this law ques-
tons of wages go to the courts. They
heal all that is to be said on both
sides, and when the court decides what
the wages are, both parties, employer
and employed, must accept it. When
wages were rising the system worked
we'll for labor.
But a in New Zealand are nc
longer rising. In a dispute over wages
between meat packers and shippers the
slaughtermen struck The our de-
cided against them. They refused to
work at the new wages. The court
fined them $25 apiece. They refused to
pay the fine, and had no property on
which an attachment could be made.
Then it was decided that they must go
to prison and work out their fines.
In short, the law holds labor in a kind
of servitude. When labor enters into an
arbitration it is bound as much as the
employer. Neither remains fFee to act,
One must employ inc the other u
work, each under penalty. OF course,
the law cannot be one-sided. The m
ployer and employee must be treated
alike But how would it appear in an
American community if several hun
bred men employed in an industry
should be marched to jail because they
didn't want to return to their daily
work?

WARRANTS FOR PUBLIC THIEVES.

After a prolonged investigation of the
colossal robbery in the contracts for
furnishing the Pennsylvania State Cap
itol at Harrisburg, warrants have been
issued for the principal thieves and
grafters, who include the architect, the
chief contractor. four former State de-
partment officers, including he State
Treasurer and Auditor-Genera There
are eighteen individuals and firms in
volved in the charges. Civil suits VIII
also be entered to ecove some of the
millions stolen.
The public conscience in the State
of Pennsylvania has become so dulled
and the resources of the public thieves
are so many hat it is doubtful if a
single thief will be punished or if a
dollar Of the wholesale loot will be re-
covered. 1t would, indeed, M be sur
prising to see some of the klilty men
nominated and elected to political office
