What it costs the people to submit
,to the private ownership of railroads
;is shown by the action recently taken
,by the citizens of New Y'ork. They
have voted to, tax themselves $100,
000,000 to enlarge a canal for the ex
press purpose of keeping down freight
rates between Buffalo and New. York
city.
Senator Dietrich returned from
Washington early in the week." . His
first visit in Omaha was paid to the
law offices of Greene, Breckenridge &
Kinsler in the New York - Life build
ing, where ho was closeted with Mr.
Greene for the greater portion of the
forenoon. When be came out an an
nouncement was made to the newspa
per men that Mr. Greene had been
retained. Then Mr, Dietrich went to
see Mr. Itosewater with whom he re
mained until 1:30 o'clock. He then
went to the Burlington headquarters
and was closeted for more than" two
hours with General Manager Hold
rege and other officials. When he
came out of the B. & M. headquarters
he denied that Mr. Greene had been
retained. It seems that the B.' & M.
had taken the matter in charge. Diet
rich says that he is bound to have a
trial right away, United States At
torney Summers has been to Wash
ington and came back with the word
that he was to go ahead with the
prosecution. A story is also current
that Judge Munger will be induced to
step aside and that some other judge,
perhaps McPherson of Iowa will bo
brought over to try the case,
There has been a great deal of talk
about "business interests,'' and "bus
iness methods" in politics, for the last
few years. Dietrich undertook to do
that sort of thing and it does not
seem to redound to his glory. Busi
ness Is always conducted for profit,
That has, it seems, been Dietrich's
method in exercising the functions of
his office. '. . , ,
The president's effort to pass the
Cuban reciprocity treaty at an ex
tra session calfed for that' purpose
has , been a failure. The senate re
solved to 'pass tt over to the regular
session and take a vote on it on De
cember 16.
The standing that the heavenly
twins have in the senate is shown
by the committee appointments that
they have been given. Millard Is
made chairman of the 'committee on
the Potomac flats and Dietrich on the

committee to investigate tresspasses
on Indian lands. While" Allen was a
populist he obtained much more im
portant places on committees than
either of these two republicans who
are members of the dominant party.
' The revenue law passed by the last
legislature has been before the su
preme court to test Its constitutional
ity. The three commissioners before
whom it was tried each hand down
o.crent and conflicting opinions. One
of ; them, Kirkpatrick, thinks It all
right, the other two, Duffie and Let-ton-
think part of it is bad. It is the
prophecy of The Independent that
when the three supreme judges get
hold of It, it will be found to be all
right.; ; . .r-
A grand Jury has been called at To
peka, Kas., to Investigate the padding
of ; the pay rolls of the republicans
who sat in the legislature after 're
deeming" Kansas. It's "business" all
along the line and in every state of
the Union where the republicans hold
power, and the bourbon democracy is
not far behind them. ,
It is a long time before the next
election of a .railroad legislature, so
Rosewater remarks In the Bee. "The
new revenue law was doubtless formu
lated under the supervision of the at
torneys of the railroad corporations,
whose, ingenuity was exerted in se
curing provisions calculated to favor
the corporations." "When the next
election comes around, Rosewater will
be "whooping It up" for a lot of men
who will pass some laws "formulated
under the supervision of the attorneys
of tbe railroad corporations."
"Whooplah! Vote 'er straight! " will
be the burden of his song then.
There has been a greal deal of talk
around Washington during the last
week about economy in appropria
tions, but not one word has been said
about reducing taxation. The idea Is
to accumulate some more millions in
the treasury and then turn it over to
the banks without interest.
The Citizens, union of New York
city, "under whose . auspices Mr. -Low
.was brought out and elected, has re
solved to have nothing more to do
with Mr. Piatt and his machine. It
will continue its work for good city
government as an independent organi
zation: All of which goes to show
that The Independent was the only
paper in the country that gave the
facts about the defeat of Mr. Low,
when it said that the Piatt machine
and Tammany worked together for
that purpose.
John Hay, who has heretofore had
nothing but praise from . England,
must feel rather uneasy under the
scorching ' criticism that the best of
the -English press is pouring out on
his head these days. The Graphic,
which is always very cautious in what
it says about America and an advo
cate of the- Greater Anglo-Saxon Al
liance, prints the following about the
Panama business: "The story thus
ended constitutes a very disagreeable
page in American history. We regret
exceedingly that President Roosevelt
has allowed the fair name of his ad
ministration to be smirched by a
transaction so utterly at variance with
the most elementary principles of
public law und international morality.
Vecannot conceive a more lamenta
ble outrage on the public conscience
of the civilized world. It would have
been far more honest to force a treaty
on Colombia by the way of an ulti
matum, and It would have been not
one whit less a blow at the indepen
dence of tbe minor American states.
We can only express our profbundost
regret that the United Statea has set
bo deplorable an example of interna
tional lawlessness."

The total government deposit in
the national banks at thin time Is
tlTf.U7.t.53. That U a pretty mm
for the bankers to be drawing Inter
et on after It ha been taxed out of
the people. It 1$ the national bank
er's rraft and no one propositi to In
terfero with It.
There In Roirifr to ft lot of na
tional bank legislation during the
routine eesslon of con re. Inform
thm received fey The Independent puts
that Uyond question. It U beginning
to be' said around the senate that' the
fact must be recognized that the large
national cash balance reported every
day by the treasury department is a
fake, just? as The Independent has
said all the time. It is really a debt
owed by the national- banks to the
government and' which" It 1 would be
impossible for them, to pay without
producing a panic worse than that of
'93. The plan is to hurry up this Pa
nama business and Issue a; big lot
more of national bank notes. Senator
Foraker has already introduced a bill
to allow national banks to use any
canal bonds that may be issued for
that purpose. We will see the repub
lican party issuing more bonds while
there is an immense surplus a thing
that no nation ever did before Along
with this will be a whole let of leg
islation concerning national banks, all
of which is intended to-give them
greater profits. , .
Since "the Standard Oil crowd" got
Into steel, several things have " hap
pened. The Morgan swindle called
"conversion," that is, converting stock
into second mortgage bonds out of
which Morgan had made $7,000,000,
has been squelched although the
prospective profits of syndicates were
very great if the thing had been al
lowed to continue.
At the t recent meeting of 'the na
tional grange a resolution was passed
indorsing woman suffrage The wo
man suffragists now have on their
side this great farmers' organization,
the socialists and the" labor unions.
Since the middle of October there
have been five railroad disasters, in
which ninety-nine persons have been
killed, 136 severely and many others
sngntiy injured. . On October 17 fif
teen were Killed and forty injured on
the Belvldere division of the Pennsyl
vania road in New Jersey. Oh Octo
ber 31. sixteen were killed and fifty
nine injured on the Big Four road at
Indianapolis. On November 12 seven
were killed and two injured on , the
Louisville & Nashville road. On No
vember 14 thirty were killed and eigh
teen injured' on the Illinois Central
road at Kenwoodf La. On November
19 thirty-one were killed and seven
teen injured on the Big Four road be
tween Mackinaw and Tremont, 111.
The railroad authorities lay all the
blame on the employes, but It is hardly
lil.ely that employes would recklessly
risk their own lives in the way the
managers say.. The truth Is-that these
men are " often ' io "t overworked that
their minds become dulled and slow
to act. v-
Everywhere and in every depart
ment of the government service the
stealing goes on. A physician In San
Francisco reports that fortunes are
being made by buying army supplies
that have been condemned by the collusion-of
army officers. He has seen
a vast am?unt of the most costly -surgical
instruments of the very latest
patterns in the junk and second-hand
shops, where they are sold at less
than half of their value - They had
been condemned by military, boards of
survey. .
The Independent last week told of
the losses to the breeders of short
horn cattle and ' the low prices such
cattle brought at the great annual
sale at Chicago. Now the great
Hereford breeder, T. S. B. Sotham, has
gone Into , bankruptcy. The cattle
breeders are finding that the dinner
pail is not as full as it was. .
One day last week the general man
agers of the Missouri Pacific were in
formed that there were between 2.000
and 3,000 miles of track on which
there was not a section hand at work
except the foreman. At the head
quarters of the national union of rail
way trackmen it was denied that any
strike had been ordered or any notice
of any strike contemplated. The men
had been notified of a reduction in
wages and they had all quit of their
own accord m they could get better
wages elsewhere. Offers wore made
to the men to retain them at the old
wages, but they refused to como back,
saying that they could all pet easier
work and better pay elsewhere. At
last accounts It was aid that the road
would rahe the wa :. Instead of cut
ting them down and make reductions
eluewhere.

A sheriff down in Indiana got the
better of a railroad in a strange way.
Two men were injured on the Penn-'
sylvania road and obtained judgments"
which the road refused to pay and
fold the sheriff to go ahead and levy
on the property. The sheriff waited
by a bank until the paymaster came
out with $42,000 in a satchel. . Ho
took the satchel, counted out the
amount of the judgments and costs,
paid it over to the court and handed
the rest back to the paymaster.
The state of Colorado . has moro
strikes on hand than its militia force
can look after, and the promise of
trouble growing out of the additional
coal strike has led Governor Peabody
to ask for the help of federal troops
whkh have been promised by the
president if their prcrnce , proves
necessary. The fact i3 that tho whole
state of Colorado is in a condition of
semi-anarchy caused by the bad gov
ernment given by tho republican party
since it captured the state. The re
tuMlean legislature refused to pass an
eight-hour law In occupations that
were dangerous to life and health as
required by the constitutional amend
ment which waa adopted by an over
whelming vote. The state has had Its
wholw militia force In the flVld ntontof
the time for months and matters grow
worse nil the time. The fart that the
will of the majority hns been Bit aside
and an attempt made to govern by
otncsr owned body and soul by tha
corporation, hsm produced a very bad
