Governor Burke made a notable
speech at the waterways convention the
other day, and he made some excellent
points. He showed that the plan of
issuing bonds for the Improvements de.
sired is the only fair one, and he showed
further the unreasonableness of the at
titude of those who cry for a complete
plan at the outset of a gigantic move
ment like this. There must be a com
plete plan, but it cannot be developed
IN a few minutes.

James j. Fill. of the Great Northern
railway, has the following very pertinent
remarks 10 make concerning the land
lottery system of disposing of Indian
reservations when thrown open to
public settlement:
Area is inelsstic, Our public lands
are mainly exhausted. A few more years
will see the last Of them. And lest they
should not be squandered quickly
enough, we not only offer them to every
body under conditions that invite fraud,
but when the government finds itself
burdened with a particularly choice and
valuable tract of farm land, it holds a
lottery and distributes it among Tom,
Dick and Harry, no matter whether
farmers or spectators, after they have
been collected from the different parts
of tho country by appealing to the pas
sioE for gambling. The areas to be
obtained by reclamation work would
not, all told, take care of our increase
for two years. So there are final limits
already in sight to the quantity of
tillable land"
He.might have added something about
sending superannuated old monomanaics
traipsing around the country in charge
of such openings and filling up the
people with pipe dreams about enormou
crowds that would surely materializs
when the word "go" was given, but was
probably too polite. Thousands of dol
lars we're expended in unnecessary pre-
paratlon prior to the recent Standing
Rock and Cheyenne River opening
through the stupid Misrepresentation Of
such agents.

THOSE TARIFF REDUCTIONS

Senator Moses e. Clapp of Minnesota

Cannon, is still studying the Payne-Al-
drich-Smoot tariff law. He reports that
he is ever finding new evidences of
iugglery. Take, for iastance,'' said
Senator Clnpp, the item of jute, flax
aud hemp, divided, / think, into 100 odd
classiticatlons OF threads and yarns.
There is a reduction If 10 .er cent on
those threads and Yarns. Are the people
liable TO buy any of those threads and
yarns? ] think not. But while there is
ITO per cent reduction on threads and
yarns, there is one increase of 80 per
cent on the finished product, and that is
what the American people buy if they
buy at all. To make q pretense Of
revising the tariff downward, they re-
duce the tariff on Philippine cutlery
And last year there was just one dollar.

into the United States. In a total per
centage of over 100 per cent boasted o

The present strike of the switchmen
is another proof that the corporations
remain very SLOW in advancing wages
while they have always remained active
in forcing up freight rates. The weak
point about organized capital is in trying
to avoid suitable wages for the en-
ployees, and think if the history of the
increase of wages was looked up, there
is not one instance where any substan-
tial advance has been made unles it was
the result of a threatened or actual
strike. We pretend to know nothing
about the merits of the present strike,
but we do hope that the time will soon
be here when capital and labor will be
fair to each other.--News and limos.

COURT RETAINS
EXECUTORS OF
BURNET ESTATE
Says Charges of Undue Influence
Are Not Definite
Enough.

There was another step in the con
test over the will of the late Miss
Anna A.. Burnet, of Hilton, who died
recently, leaving an estate valued at
$500, 900, when Judge Davis in the Or
phans' Court decided today that there
was no reason for deposing the present
executors and named them admins
traitors pendente lite.
These executors are Louis p. Taylor
and Andrew S. Taylor, and when an
attack was made on the will several
weeks ago it was chiefly directed
against them, they being charged by
Leonard Kalisch, as counsel for
Charles w. Wilson, a first cousin of
the deceased, with having unduly liz
fiuenced the wealthy maiden lady.
Much of her estate was willed TO
charitable institutions, and when the
action last came into court in the
form of the application to appoint ar
administrator pendente lite, no less
than nine lawyers, representing various
interests, appeared. including former
Robert H. McCarter,
for the estate.
The will was admitted to probate Oc-
tober 81 last, thirteen days after Miss
Burnet's death, the exact amount
credited to various charitable institu-
tions being $97, 600.
On the point of the application that
the administration pendente lite should
be granted to some other person or
persons than the executors, Judge
Davis said:
1.-THE established practise is that in
an ordinary case the executors should
not be deposed or the estate taken out
of their control. While the petition
alleges undue influence over h tesla
trix on the part of the present execu-
tors as one of the grounds of the ap-
peal, no degree of particularly was
entered into. and 10 charges. except
general, nave been urged or proven
against the executors which would dis
qualify them from handling The estate
in a legal manner"

IN BEER.
NICKEL 4 THROW,
BUT GASSER ACTS

a crowd Of people vas attracted to
the vicinity of Broad n Orange
streets last night by the shouts of a
man perched on a box.
Come and buy something for a
nickel for which you will get barrels
of fun in ~return." cried the fakir.
He held up a small phial, which
contained several pieces of grayish
substance in stick form.
Break off a small piece of one OF
the sticks in the bottle, drop it into a
glass of beer that your friend is 60
ing to drink and up goes the beer in
the air. Great fun. Everybody buys
one!'
He did a rushing trade with men who
evidently like to see beer go up in the
air.
Gentlemen, the stuff in these bot
ties is such that the more water you
pour on it the more it bubbles; a whole
fire department couldn't put it out.'
continued the salesman. Several fire.
men in the crowd bought a couple OF
pitfalls and tested it in a pail of water
and in a second a geyser shot up sew
eral feet.
Inspector of Combustibles and Fire
Risks c. Albert Gasser was informed
of the matter and he asked Captain
John e. Brown, of the Second pre-
cinct, to apprehend the man, as from
the information that he had Mr.. Gasser
felt it was not right to allow the stuff
to be sold.
The police learned that the peddlef
was Henry j. Springfield, of IS South
Seventh street. He said that the little
sticks We're of metallic sodium which
he bought from a wholesale drug dealer
in New York. When Inspector Gasser
examined the stuff he found it to be OF
a most explosive nature. and when
Springfield was made aware of the dam
gerous material he was selling he said
he did not want any more of it. He
had a license and therefore could not
be arrested. but as he readily agreed
not TO handle any more of it he was
let go.

KILLED By FALL
Smallest Animal in Newark
Dropped from Mantle-tOp

What was said to have been the
smallest dog in Newark, owned by
Joseph Bendik, of 372 Washington
street, died last night. 1t was six
weeks old and weighed four ounces.
When it was born it weighed three
ounces, and Bendik kept it alive by
feeding it milk from a bottle with a
small rubber nipple. The little creature
thriyed very nicely, and its owner, to
prevent it catching cold, made a bed
for it in a box and kept it on the man
tel over the stove. The dog got out
of the box last night and fell on the
floor, and when it was picked up life
was extinct.
Mr.. Bendik will try to have 1t pre-
served in alcohol as a curiosity.
