COMMISSIONERS SCHUYLER.

Colonel Charles Schiller, now Com
missioner of Agriculture and Immigra-
ton, and resident of Baton Rouge,
coming here only after his appointment
in DeSoto parish, will be a candidate
before the people for the position which
he holds. Colonel Schiller, however,
will not worry about campaign. He is
making his preparations to go to Europe
in search of immigrants. He will make
his race on his record as an immigrant
seeker, and will probably make the Off
cial announcement of his candidacy
when he returns from Europe.-New
Orleans Picayune.
Commissioner Schiller is entitled to
the most favorable consideration of the
State. He has directed his best efforts
to the welfare of the people, and he
should be recognized practically, but in
these days of the politicians and place
hunters, all sentiment is laid aside and
worth counts for little unless the claim
ant shall be present and active in con-
testing for the Office he seeks.

New York, April 30.-The Central
Federated union, instead of unani-
mously condemning President Roose-
welt for his action in the Moyer-Hay-
wood matter, as has been predicted,
stood about evenly divided on the
question which has stirred labor all
over the country.
The discussion, which lasted for
more than three hours, was the most
bitter one ever heard at a Central Fed
Grated labor meeting. The result was
that the meeting, representing more
than 100000 workers in Manhattan,
ordered that the committee of three,
appointed at last Sundays meeting,
do what it was instructed to do-go
to Washington and have a heart to
heart talk with President Roosevelt
regarding his criticism of Meyer and
Haywood.

A MENACE TO THE STATE.

The editor of the Sun began cru
SADIE against the importation of paupers
anarchists and the basket merchant class
about fifteen years ago when the sugar
planters had gone money-mad and sci
out to pocket the whole cheese and pay
nothing for labor. The fight touched a
popular chord and the metropolitan press
gave our views wide currency. The coast
planters alone dissented. Today these
men, after seeing their South European
laborers become labor agitators and

Topeka, April 30.-The three re-
ceivers appointed by the state supreme
court to take charge of a property in
Kansas of the eight outside brewing
companies, and real estate concern
operated by one liquor firm have made
a report to the court here. The report
shows the receivers have taken posses

son and five at Leavenworth. They
are also in possession of a large assert
ment of bars, fixtures and mirrors.
Not much liquor has been taken. Most
of the places where seizures were

is claimed by parties other than the
brewing companies. The receivers be-
lieve the brewery companies will take
some action to protect their property,
now that a formal report of the seiz-
ures has been filed. The attorneys
say they are waiting for definite au

the new gold coins, President Roose-
welt has written a letter today made
public. He says there is no law for
the words, and as he did not approve
of it he did not direct the inscription
to be put on. He regarded the use of
the words as in effect irrelevant and
bordering upon sacrilege. He regarded
the use of the inscription on public
monuments and some public buildings
as right and proper. but to put it on
coins, postage stamps or advertise
ments cheapens the motto.

The questions which Hartman re
fused to answer related to the pur-
chase of stock of other railroads in
the interest of the Union Pacific and
to Union Pacific dividends. In brief
filed in court yesterday Hartman set
forth at length his contention as to
why he should not be compelled to
answer the questions He contends
that the Commission in asking the
questions sought to deprive him of
rights conferred by congress, and
that to compel him to answer under
the circumstances would be to de
prive him of his right to due process
of law L. S. Attorney Stimson open
ed the argument for the Commission
Judge R. H Leavitt will appear for
Hartman.
