Up rose an orator: “McAneny eperrow hawk, swooping this way and that and striking wherever he tew a chance to lop off something. Trendergast was a most able champion of the people. These men whetted their knives to the hilt and drenched them in the blood of the two companies. McAneny and the rest, like Cassius and his followers, rent the garments of the two companies.” These proud utterances are not parts of a melodrama nor selec- tlens from a dime novel of a former uge. They are eloquences from @ wpeech by Judge McCall, Chairman of the Public Service Commia- sion ; they tell how the opposing corporations were butchered to make @ civic subway. The strap-hangers and tho taxpayers of the future will appraise fhe value of these words when they ride through the gore and pay for the blood pudding. It may be they will rejoice, or it may be they will speak of the butchering as a time “when you and I and all of us fell down and bloody-handed treason triumphed over us.” coerenncemanarer ee papoose WORSE THAN WHISKEY DRINKING. Hw duly meditated upon the wrong of the lynching of a negro in their town in August, 1911, and having acquitted everybody charged with the commission of it, the good people of Coatesville, Pa., have found s way to satisfy their con- sclences. They have blamed the crime upon the saloons and closed them all up. The argument for adopting this form of atonement is that the crowd that lynched the negro was inflamed with whiskey. It is sad that it does not fit the facts of the case. The mob was inflymed by race hatred and by lawlessness. It would not have lynched a whito man. It would not have@ynched the negro had 8 due respect for law -been enforced in the community. Good people in Coatesville will fail in their duty if they permit the moral of the ugly crime to be concealed under pretense of a mere drunkenness. It was worse than that and cannot be cured by compelling the lawless to get whiskey on the ely instead of in the open. SS eee ‘BLAMING IT ALL ON NEMESIS. R. WILLIAM J. MORTON, sixty-eight years of age, eon of the renowned discoverer of ether, and himself distinguished as a nerve specialist, having been convicted of swindling, declares himself a victim of what he calls “nature’s law of compensa- tion,” « law, he added, that requires suffering to counterbalanco blessing. “My fether,” said he, “gave mankind ether and insensi- bility to pain, one of its greatest blessings. They gave him nothing whatever in return. Thus, under the law, I am suffering this fearful fate. I am paying under what I have always called the anaesthesis curse.” Perhaps Julian Hawthorne, a colleague with Dr. Morton in business and in conviction, has a like theory to account for his suffering, attributing it to the avenging deities of his father’s Tomances. We run so much in these days to problem stories and tales of | adventure, the value of this story of such men caught in such crime will not receive the attention it merits as an illustration of a man's ” quoth he, “was like a) ce 10 judg:nent on his own misdeed. But if » man so learned as Dr. Morton aR ie can persuade himself he became a swindler through the law of | compensation, why should wo wonder that the grafter and the way- ward girl believe themselves victims of the social gods though guill leas of wrong? ONE MAIN REASON AND OTHERS. D"ceny LEONARD of the Union Stockyards and Transit Company of Chicago, in reply to inquiries concerning tho increasing cost of meat, says: “The shortage of meat has heen gradually increasing during the past seven years. One of tho main reasons is the cutting up of the range country into smaller tracts.” Under right conditions the cutting up of big ranges would tend to increase rather than diminish the output. Grass and cattle on small ranges arc generally better cared for than on big domains, As the grain yield on the small farm is larger to the acre than on the vast ranch, as the small orchard and vineyard yield more to the tree or the vine than do the big ones, so with the cattle range. But the conditions are not right. The packing houses so control the cattle market there is no encouragement nor profit for the small cattle man nor for the farmer to raise cattle. Moreover, the same power in association with other predatory interests has in the past fastened its hold upon a monopoly of the market in this country through the tariff of high protection. i There are, therefore, more reasons than one in this business, and the one cited by Mr. Leonard is among the least of the lot.
