Congress AbdiCatcS.

What is the use of congress meeting
in December when President Roosevelt
and Bert Hopkins, the junior senator
from Illinois. can do all the business?
They have just agreed that congress
shall not undertake tariff revision, and
if they can settle that question III ad-
vance without consulting with the 2S2
ether republican members of congress,
there is no reason why they can't set
tie the less important questions of APP
prOpriatiOns, etc.
Have the republican members of
congress abdicated in favor of the
president and Bert Hopkins, or have
they delegated the settlement of the
tariff issue? 1t would seem so.
Who Will now dare say the republi-
can representatives of the people are
not led up to the executive watering
trough and forced to drink, by the
promise of also having their share of
the swill known as public patronage?

Outlook for Justice Long Deferred.

By the act of Judge Lands in the
federal court at Chicago in imposing
a fine of $29,240.O00 on the STANDARD
Oil company for violation of the Elk
ms laws. the people see at least the
outlook for long deferred justice j.
dealing with this monster corporation.
The fine, as has been stated in the AS
sociated Press dispatches, is the max
imum under the law The oil trust was
indicted on 1.42G counts and the pun
ishment is the maximum possible un
der the statutes. 100000 on each count
and there is a possibility of furthe"
fines aggregating $SS,000, 600.
The court was not content with this
fine, the greatest in the history Of
jurisprudence. but mercilessly scored
the avaricious trust, chasing it with
.CountcrfCiters and others who rob the
mails.
From the standpoint of justice and
public morals Judge Lands decision
will be unanimously upheld. 1t is even
refreshing Up to within a few years
the Standard Oil anaconda did as il
pleased. 1t knew no law except of its
own making. With ruthless hand it
crushed all competition and became

congresses and legislatures. For years

GAS FROM CORNCOBS.
Cheap and Effective lluminant For
Nebraska Town.

iNCbI dsNd
a commercial grade of Illuminating
gas made from cornstalks, corncobs,
hay and other vegetable matter is be-
ing used in Beatrice, Ind, for fuel and
lights and has superseded coal gas,
says a Beatrice (Neb) dispatch to the
New York Sun. The cost of the new
gas is $l.19 per 1000, the lowest price
at which gas is sold III any city in
Nebraska. In quality it is as good as
coal or oil gas.
John d. Rockefeller is said to be
back of the company which is fur
niShing the gas. and the franchise for
the plant Is in the name of the Rev.
Charles Eaton of Cleveland, RoCkefel-
ler's pastor. The company has com
pleted Il 100000 plant at Beatrice. 1t
is the first plant in the world in which
gas is produced III this manner.
The vegetable matter is placed in
large retortS and roasted until the wa
ter is forced out. This water is then
turned into steam, and the gases elm
mated are very combuStible and per
feet substitute for ordinary coal gas
A year ago Mr.. Eaton applied for the
franchise for establishing Il gas plant
and it was voted to him. The plant
which has recently been finished is the
result. Absolutely nothing is used in
manufacturing the gas except farm
refuse.
Because of the cheapness of the raw
material the gas can be manufactured
very cheaply and sold ut much lower
rate than can coal gas.
