Such laws are not in harmony with democratic ideas and methods. THE fire loss for January in the United States and Canada was $17,958,400, which is a larger aggregate than for that month in any previous year.

Clarkson, by the aid of the Westorn Uuion and the Asso- | clated Press, manages to keep his name ever fresh in the minds of readers of the | leading newspapers. His latest effort comes in the shape of a bitter denunciation of President Harvison for ‘uppointing Judge Juckson to the supreme bench. The average | republican will be inelined not only to challenge the motives of Clarkson, but to conelude that President Harrison will be able to fully justify his action in the premises.

Mr, Mosher has confessed his guilt to the United States grand jury and has given bail for his appearance before the United States court when his tos, case reached. The question now is, will the state of Nebraska allow Mr. Mosher to remain at large and take no steps to recover the embezzled state funds or to ascertain to what ent if any Mr. Mosher's eriminal acts were committed in collusion with other parties occupying positions of honor and trust. ssuming that the state will not lose a dollar because the deficit can be recovered from the bonds- men of the ex-state treasurer, would that fact relieve the officers charged with the execution of the laws and the investigation into state crimes from the duty devolving upon them in the premises? This is not a simple case of grand larceny coupled with forgory and per- | jury, but a criminal use of state funds for purposes of wholesale corrup- tion reaching to all but the judicial ranch of state gove ent It is not merely a question whother Mr. Mosher shall be imprisoned five or ten year: | but whether he shall be allowed to 1 come a voluntary scapegoat and veposi- ts for all his as well as for the band of bluckmailers and vultures that have plucked and bled him since he se- sociates, cured the | ntiary contract.

The following extract from the annual report of the head of the company shows the spirit that controls its operations: You have given the company faithful ser- vice, and it may well be assumed that to profit-sharing is due in pare the comparative steadiness of the company’s business and its immunity from loss in any year during so long a period.

It rests with all of us together whether the wages dividends shall be nothing or 4 per cent, or 10 or 12 per cent. It is a point of honor, as well as self-interest, for each of us to do his best; the man who Qoes loss cheats himself as well as his fellow Where profit-sharing can bring labor and capital together upon such terms the value of the system cannot be ques- tioned. under such eonditions.
