FRENcH BIN ON AMERICAN MEAT


The decision of the customs admin
istration of France to reject the new
form of meat certificates under the
American pure food law and to insist
upon a certificate of microscopic in
spection must not be construed as
even a suspicion on the part of the
French authorities that there is any
thing unwholesome in the American
meat supply. II is just another move
in a diplomatic game in progress be-
tween the two countries since the
United States made a tariff agreement
with Germany by which certain Ger
man products, including champagne
and sparkling wines, are to be ad-
mitted into the United States at a
lower rate of duty than is charged
against similar French products.
France has already placed a prohibit
tive tariff against Porto Rican coffee
and threatens a general tariff war
against the United States. unless CON
cessions are made equivalent to those
extended TO Germany.
AS explained by Secretary Wilson,
the microscopic examination of meats
In this country has been abolished be-
cause It cost more than 100000 a
year-more than double the value Of
our meat exports to France in 1906
and was found to serve no good pur-
pose. So the action OF France barring

Outspokeu Opposition to the THIRD
Term idea.

Term idea.
Chicago Tribune (Rep)
The Tribune is opposed on principle to
the third term. 1t rislSed much in 1880
when It opposed the denomination Of
General Grant for third term. 1t would
risk as much in 1905 II II should become
necessary to oppose the denomination Of
President Roosevelt under similar condi-
lions.
The Tribune for one is not willing to
admit that there is but one man In the
United States, who is capable OF serving
here, and among them all there must
be more than one who is ne TO occupy
the White House and discharge the duties
Of the chief magistrate. We believe that
there must be more than a dozen I'm the
republican party alone.
Moreover, II Is by no means certain
that the denomination OF President sRoose-
welt for third term would be followed
by an election. The Tribune may be
mistaken on this subject. but II believes
there is a deep, abiding feeling among
the people that two terms are enough
for any man. Part Of this feeling may
be latent. It may not have been aroused.
1t would be, when the campaign came
on, II popular candidate should be op-
posed to Mr.. Roosevelt on the other side.
1t would be proclaimed that we were
tending toward Imperialism, and we
would be. II the tradition IN regard to
the third term should be broken down,
there is no reason why It should not be
followed by a fourth or NTH term
and as Mr.. Roosevelt is comparatively
young man, he might continue to be
elected for several terms more.
The people are not ready for that. They
believe a change in the White House is a
good thing, az well a change in other
political Offices.
No man is good enough to be president
forever, and the Tribune for one will not
admit that among the 100000 people in
the United States there is not one so good
as Theodore Roosevelt, who may be chosen
to succeed him in the White House.

The excuse given by General Man
ager Holdrege for going back on his
promise of a new Burlington station
at Nebraska City is really laughable.
He says that he doubts the possibility
of obtaining an appropriation for the
proposed building because investors
are so disinclined under present cir
cumstances to put money into railroad
securities" OF course the great Bur
lington road cannot put a few thou
sand dollars into a passenger station
without first going out and borrowing
money by issuing bonds. What has
become Of the piteous appeals made to
the legislature not to interfere with the
railroad rates in order that the roads
might earn a surplus to be used for
betterments and extensions? The
Burlington could have built two sta
lions at Nebraska City with the money

the passengers recovered from their
fright they walked back to Union
where they secured lodging for the
night.
The accident was caused by a bro
ken rail. The train was running
about one hour late Thursday night,
arriving in Union shortly after mid
night. John Harrison was the engl-
neer and Capt. George Hanger was
the conductor of the train. Capt.
Jackson was in charge Of the Pullman

Engineer Saved Town.

DOUGLAS, ARIz., Nov. 9.-Jesu
Garcia, a locomotive engineer, saved
Nacozarit, Arizona, from destruction
by running a burning powder train
through the town at top speed, but
lost his own life and caused the death
of a dozen or more Mexican section
hands through the explosion of two
cars of powder just as the flaming
train was passing a section house:
John Chisolm, boy, was also killed
by the explosion.
The train caught fire near Naco-
zari, on the narrow gauge railroad
of the Pilares mine. In: the train
were two open cars heavily loaded
with explosives.
Realizing that the concentrator
and good part of the town would
be destroyed in the powder explosion
there, Engineer Garcia called to the
rest of the crew to jump and started
to run the train through and get
away from the town. He had taken
about half mile when the explosion
occurred, as the cars were passing a
section house full of Mexicans, The
terrific explosion blew up the house,
the train, the men and the engineer
to atoms.
Young Chisolm, not seeing the fire
in the train, sought to steal ride on
the rear car. tits impossible to say
how many section hands were killed.
