Big Packers Indicted.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.--It is expected
that two more meat packers will be
indicted by the federal grand jury
which yesterday charged ten Chicago
packers with conspiracy and illegal
monopoly. and today the government
announced its intention to force early
trial of all. The additional indict.
ments, it is intimated, may not come
until the ten men already named have
given bonds. Each must provide q
90, 900 personal bond on each of the
three indictments returned. Judge
Lands decided.
That the purpose of the grand jury
was the indictment of individuals
rather than the packing concerns was
shown when Judge Lands, famous for
the s29, 000, 900 Standard Oil fine
launched the investigation.

son about to violate the law takes q

Lands in his charge to to the jury.

company and under that name does
the thing forbidden by law.
"If your investig ations disclose such
a case, do not indict q mere alias, but
follow the rail wherever it may lead,
until you have located, identified and
pointed out the real offenders"
The investiga alton was the second
started by Judge Lands within the
year. On January 20 he ordered a
grand jury inquiry which on March

An Unlucky Find.

An unfortunate experience has just
befallen a French stableman named
Brodequin. Seven years ago when
cleaning a carriage he found a brooch
with a white stone inset. which he
took to be an imitation diamond. He
married and a year later became the
father of a girl. The brooch was used
to hold up the baby's bib. and on her
sixth birthday Brodequin took the
child to a jeweler to buy some ear.
rings. The child was wearing the
brooch, and the jeweler. recognizing
the white stone as a diamond. offered
1000 francs for it. Brodequin refused
the offer and took the brooch to an
other jeweler, who handed him over
to the police. Experts find the brooch
to be worth 1000 francs, and Brode.

CHARLES S.

In selecting Hon. Charles S. Hart.
man as their candidate for represen'
tative In congress, Montana democrats
probably made ss appropriate selec.
ton ss could be chosen under existing
circumstances. Mr.. Hartman seldom
knows "where he is A." and his party
lie in about the same predicameut.
The convention which nomina ted
him was typical of democratic incon-
sistency and insincerity. Processing
to be in favor of the election of United
States senators by popular vote, the
convention killed . resolution by
which the delegates present would be
privileged to express their choice for
the senator to be elected by the next
legislative assembly. Declaring that
the people should govern, and that
corporations should not intrude into
political afsirs, q majority of the
convention was absolutely controlled
by corporation influences.
1t is fitting that Charles S. Hart.
man should be the congressional
nominee Of such q convention, his
public r being . record Of incon-
sistencies and contradictions. What
he q advocates today, he may oppose
tomorrow; his position upon any i'm.
portsnt public question is subject to
radical change without previous
notice.
In the early nineties. MIR. Hartm an
was apparently such q true.blue re-
publican that be received the republic
q nomination for congress-, and was
elected. While his term as q republi.
. congressman was not marked by
any brilliant achievement, be kept in
line with his party and was q useful
member in that respect. but he broke
away during the free silver craze of
1896. AS a member of the Montana
delegation to the republican national
convention at st. Louis, Mr.. Hartman
resented the action Of the majority
and bolted the convention.
Within q few weeks from his spec.
tacular exit from the party that had
honored him with political preferment,
Mr.. Hartman became the leader of q
silver.republican- populist. democratic
aggregation that sought to defeat the
republican party, William Mckinley,
for president, and every other repub.
lican candid ate being opposed by this
combination of dies atisfed politicians.
The latter won out, so far as Montana
was concerned, and Mr.. Hartman con-
tinued to remain in congress as repre-
sentative from this state without any
appreciate benefit to his constituents.
In recent years, Mr.. Hartman has
not been prominent in Montana politi.
cal affairs, but indications of unrest
among the voters have encouraged
him to re.euter the field.
Whether or not Mr.. Hartman's dis
position to change his political views
is due to honest conviction, or brought
about by q desire for personal ad.
vancement, is q question regarding
which there may be q difference of
opinion. The fact remains, however,
that he car jump from one party into

An American In Japan's Councils.
Henry Willard Denison occupies q
position in Japan not unlike that
which Sir Robert Hart held so many
years in China when he was inspector
general Of the Chinese customs. Ever
since 1880 this American jurist has
been legal adviser to the foreign Office
at Tokyo, and in that capacity he has
been behind the scenes Of Japanese
policy for thirty years. He has even
been Il representative of the japanese
government on several important &C.
casions. notably at Portsmouth and
The Hague. The fact that an Amer
lean is a most important part of the
Japanese foreign office has never help
ed us to thes slightest degree in any
negotiation with Japan. But as a
barometer Of international relations
Mr.. D%enison's office is Of the greatest
interest to us. He has just renewed
his contract with the Japanese govern
ment for five years. In case of war
between America and Japan he would
instantly resign. At present, therefore,
the barometer stands steadily at set
fair.-MetrOpolitan Magazine.
