PAPER MILL MAY CHANGE HANDS
A Proposition Has Been Made the
Grandfather Falls Company By
Syndicate - Chicago
Paper Leads i'm Move.

A syndicate of newspapers have
made proposition to the officers and
directors of the Grandfather Falls
Paper company, looking towards 4
purchase of the plant. The movement
originated with the Staats-Zeitung
the leading German paper of Chicago.
The proposal is being considered by
the directors of the company and
decision is expected in a few days
whether they will dispose of the plant
or not.
This is the second offer of purchase
the local company has had in the last
few months. The previous offer was
made by the Dispatch, of ST.
Paul. They have since purchased a
mill in Minnesota.
If the present deal is consummated
the new sndicate expects to sell
stock to all papers now buying paper
from the mill. The amount of stock
held by each paper is to be- governed
by the amount of paper used by them
in year.-Merrill Herald.

The Easement Resolutions.

The Senate committee on foreign re-
lations decided wisely in rejecting the
resolutions pending before it urging the
United States to intercede with Great
Britain for clemency toward Sir Roger
Easement, now under sentence of death
for treason The passage of such reso-
luton by the Senate could have no pos
sible effect save to arouse British in
dignation at an intrusion into a strictly
domestic situation. The plight of Sir
Roger Easement undoubtedly elicits sym
pathy among many Americans. He is
regarded with pity by practically every
body. Nevertheless, his act was one of
unquestionable treason, and he has been
formally judged guilty after fair trial.
It would be the height of impertinence
for the United States to ask clemency
for this man. This government would
itself resent any Interference with the
execution of its laws in similar ease.
The pigeonholing of these resolutions
puts a quietus on an i1l-advised, though
generous, endeavor which at no time
could have had the slightest chance of
success.

In the days of Mr.. cleve-

negotiationsf In the days Of Mr.. Cleve-
land, William @. Whitney was the 60
between. His relations with the re-
formers and the machine were equally
cordial. He was one of Mr.. Cleveland's
closest advisers, and one of Richard
Croker's closest friends. 1t was Mr..
Whitney who in 1892, after Mr.. Croker
had done his utmost at the national con-
vention to prevent Mr.. Cleveland's nomi-
nation. arranged with Mr.. Croker for
Tammany's energetic participation in
the campaign for Mr. Cleveiand's elee
ton.
Since Mr.. Whitney's death. no demo-
erat has appeared in New York politics
able to repeat his performances. He
combined political pull, financial
pull and social pull, and employed the
combination so as to give him great
prestige and success in all three fields.
In way, he was a wonder worker.
If Tammany presses for an 'under-
standing" it is likely to succeed. Mr..
Wilson must have New York, and, so far
as he is concerned, Tammany is New
York The probable terms are anybody's
guess. Tammany il certain not to ask
for too little, and Mr.. Wilson can af-
ford to give, or promise, good deal.

New York's Car Strike.

New York has the beginning of a
street car strike that may develop into
a dangerous situation. In the Bronx
borough a strike on the trolley lines
that originated in Westchester county
has assumed proportions which now
threaten to involve the entire traction
system of Greater New York, with its
force of 10000 men. The employees of
the city lines are not unionized, and the
present effort of the strike leaders is to
form an organization, or rather to in
duce the employees of the roads of the
various boroughs to join the union al
ready formed. A fund of about $3.50 900,
it is reported, has been accumulated for
the purpose of making this fight, which
is designed to be one of the biggest con
tests in the history of the American trac-
tion systems. Matters are at critical
stage now in the initial phase of the
strike, and on the outcome of the next
few hours will depend whether New York
is to be plunged into virtual civil war.
AS in practically all other street car
strikes the lack of police protection has
given the strike headway in the Bronx.
Rioting has occurred there, with sac
rifce of life. AS usual, the traction COM
pany has undertaken to maintain its
own guards and has obtained only
slight degree of protection from the po-
lice. There is no established authority
to intervene to check the rioting and
force a reference of the issues to arbi-
tration. The law is just as inadequate
on this point as for many years past,
although numerous street car strikes
have proved the serious danger of a
system which permits labor dispute to
go to the point Of warfare in the alb
sence of some automatic check
A general street car strike in New
York would be most disastrous affair.
Regardless of the question of rioting,
which with the large foreign popula-
tion would undoubtedly be most difficult
to manage, the suspension of traction
facilities would throw the city into com
plete confusion New York depends
upon rapid transit as do few other COM
munities, and strike that ties up the
system even partially would entail enor-
nous losses and immeasurable suffering.
