It ia to be hoped it will not get quite so acute aa it was, in congress when each mem ber had to buy a bouquet and send it , to himself labeled "From loving con stituenU." Soft coal miners and operators are getting together on the comfortable basis of the scale of three years ago. which Is a substantial raise of pay for ; the men. The peaceable adjustment of what looked at one time like s aerl ous difficulty is another victory for the growing spirit of forbearance between employer and employed. The growth of the. Illinois Central railroad, as shown by the report of President Fish to the stockholders, is merely an incident In the development of the western empire. In another ton years the railroad presidents can show even greater growth, alt of which will be due to the restless energy of the producers of the great valleys and plains of the central basin of th United Bute. v ... a voLvyTKKiiijnMr. - . The president In tils M emorlal Day address at. PorUtnouth fitly empha sise the fact that military service in our rotintry is Voluntary. Tula feat; fiire, standing out in such marked con trast with nearly even other nation In the. world. Is typical and well-nigh essential to our Arm?rlcah View of the cltUen's duty and the function of the state. Prom the first, in all 'our fron tier wars. In the revolutionary strug gle of '76 and the foreign, and domes-' tic wars since then, military service has ' been merely the1 citizen volun tarily In arms for a government which represents the will of the people. He has'v appeared ' w ith the musket pre cisely as with the ballot ta represent and protect his own Interests, and not as the forced agent of a superior ar bitrary authority. Though we recognize the inherent necessity of a regular military estab- lishment, voluntary service is main tained as a fundamental principle, even as to that, The difficulty of dis ciplining and rendering effective a great force of. citizen soldiery rising in emergency to arms .and the. time required are such that a regular army. Is indispensable as a model and a nucletts for organisation, as well as for contingencies that have to be sud denly met. But we rigidly restrict the regular military arm of the govern ment to the limit of the extremest need, depending upon the zeal and patriotism of the average citizen to supplement it in time of national peril and that dependence has never proved fallacious. The "achievement of national' unity In the civil war as of independence in the revolution is the glory of duty vol untarily performed. A military ser vice developed from and inpplred by this principle is a safeguard rather than a menace to liberty, and should make the soldier a better citizen as he passes into civil life. It is the very reverse of militarism insofar as term implies in compatibility democratic institutions. that with CRIMINAL LAW EVASIOXS. Governor Higglns' veto of bills passed by the New York legislature, complicating and protracting proceed ings in criminal cases, ia based on a principle whose - application would remedy crying abuses in every state In the union. Instead of extending the protection of the law to criminals by multiplied delays,' appeals,' techni calities and evasions, the penal code should be simplified and greatly re stricted in those respects. The Patrick murder case, for which the vetoed bills were obviously de signed to Create new opportunities to evade the consequences of. the crime, became long ago a scandal. Patrick, himself a skillful lawyer,' 'was duly convicted six years ago of deliberately murdering by poison his own cllenta wealthy old man, for' the purpose of robbing his estate, the crime being a diabolical compound of forgery, per jury, theft, cold-blooded murder ana betrayal of professional trust. Tet it has been found impossible to exe cute the penalty of the law. so in genlously has the felon manipulated the legal facilities for evasion and de lay, and when all existing resources had been exhausted a legislature was found ready to create new ones. The case Is extreme only- in the de gree of ability to employ the means afforded by the law. They are avail able to any criminal who is in position to command similar influence, flnan clal support and professional talent in his behalf. The New York governor's veto is a good sign, coming as it does In con junction with multiplying evidences of an aroused public sentiment demand ing certain punishment of criminals, notwithstanding their Influence in so clal and financial circles. . It will be found that before this sentiment can be satisfied more effective means than the law now affords will have to be provided by a thorough overhauling and reform of criminal practice and procedure. : ' THE POSTUFriCK APPROPRIATION. The total of $192,485,000 carried by the postofflce appropriation bill which' ' has just ' passed " the senate atriklngly illustrates the industrial ex panaion of the country, for the volume of postal patronage is agreed to be one of the most accurate 'indices to general business, conditions. The amount required from the treasury to maintain the postal service now greatly exceeds the amount, .required for the maintenance of the entire na tlonal government during the first half century of Its history. Neither this bill nor any other legls latlon of this session undertakes seri ously to solve any of the large prob lerqs which have been steadily coming Into greater prominence in the- opera tions of the department. It has been pointed out that no more will be ac complisbed by it. than by similar bills (or a long series , of years toward pre vention of a large annual, deficit. There haa been no disposition to com plain so far as the deficiency was due to the rural delivery service, which was extraordinary on s (Mount of the Inauguration and rapid expansion of that branch of the department. But It has long been known that abusea of privileged mail like second class and franked matter, and especially the ex cessive compensation for railroad transportation of the malls, are at the bottom of the greater part of the an nual postal deficits. The time Is drawiug near when these items will have to be thoroughly dealt with by congress. The Introduc tion of large Improvements like a postal savings system,' in line with the admirable facilities provided by the most progressive governments, s serl- ously Interfered with by transporta tion extravagances and other tvlls in the fleparttnent ' The sheer bulk to which the expenditures have grown now challenging attention to the necessity of economy .and reorganiza tion. toSGlWSSIOXAL COATE.VTfOV CALL- The republican congressional com mittee for this.'' the Second Nebraska dlMrlct, has been summoned to meet for the purpose of arranging for the congressional convention which will noniuate the. republican candidate for the coming election. Several difficulties will present themFeives to the committee chiefly because of the delay in getting action. If the convention could be legally ar ranged so as to permit of the selection delegates at the primary already called for July without shutting out uuyj possible candidate, it would be a great, convenience to the voters In gen eral. To have unnecessary multipli city of primaries under the primary election law, which makes it quite an. expensive . undertaking. , would hardly be warranted unless there were to be a sharp competition for the nomina tion, of which there are as yet no signs. The fact that this congressional dis trict consists of three counties, whereas the primary election law ap; plies to only one of them, complicates the, situation. The committee should try if possible to straighten things out and clear the decks for a determined effort to keep the district in the re pnbltcau'column. MA TOR AND COUNCIL. The prospects seem good, at least for the present, that the new mayor and council will be at loggerheads, on most important propositions,' notwith standing the fact that they profess the same political faith and were elected at the recent election on the same ticket. Ordinarily it would be unfortunate for the city to undergo constant con tention in the city hall, but if the di vergence between the mayor1 and coun cil results simply in letting, things alone and preventing radical changes the people generally will .have no cause to complain. When they come to look back they will discover that although some things may not have been just as a few would have wished, the management of municipal affairs under the late . Mayor Moores and Mayor Zlmman conformed on the whole to the desires of the great ma jority and that the business of the city was conducted on a scale of reasonable efficiency and economy. The new administration has the ad vantage of the good record made by Mayor Moores in the Independent po sition he held with reference to the franchlsed corporations and public works contractors, and the ; broad views that animated him In dealing with the various problems of the city government as they arose. If the present mayor and council either to gether or apart hold to the lines laid down in the general policy of the pre ceding republican mayor they will ac complish more than is expected of them. The best thing the Water board has done in its overworked career is to Belect W. A. Paxton for the vacancy created by the death of the late James E. Boyd. It can be 'said of Mr. Paxton that he is a man of standing in the community, an enterprising citizen who has done much to build up the city and not a politician looking for a chance to turn the position to personal or political account. If the Water board ever has anything to do. or Is ever called upon to manage a mu nicipal water plant, Mr. Paxton should make a useful and valuable member. Secretary Shaw's illustration of the relations between the American people and the Filipinos is quite happy, and expresses In a most apt- manner the sentiments of a large number of the secretary's fellow citizens. Anti-ex pansion will long be an issue, but the American people will not shirk a duty imposed on them merely to gratify the ambition of a few self-seeking pol iticians. The life insurance companies are said to be closing out, their real estate holdings in this city acquired by fore closure of mortgages as a consequence of the financial depression of ten years ago. This much can be said tor these insurance companies, that in very few, if any, instances have they lost any thing by reason of their Investments here. Filipino students who have been ob taining theoretical knowledge of .ag riculture in the United States will have a chance to put it to practical use during the coming summer. It is to be hoped they will equal the record made by Americal college students in west ern harvest fields. More bodies have been' found in the San Francisco ruins, and the number of known dead is now brought up to 418. This Is a terrible roll, but it will have to expand at an enormous rate if it even approximates the number slain by the red-ink newspapers. . Mark Depends on the Article. Philadelphia Ledger.

Morals of the Rake-On aa Recently Exploited, New York Tribune. It may be true, as Vice President Green of the Pennsylvania, railroad says, that a few years, ago It waa considered perfectly proper for a railroad official to own stock In coal mines. We have gone through a period of business lawlessness, In which corporation officers forgot, and the public allowed them to forget, their functions as trusties, and railroad presidents thought of their positions merely, as places to be used to their own advantage and the rail roads as private properties, to be made instruments of their own aggrandisement. That waa the age of wholesale rebates and Of personal warfare between railway mag nates, with Incidental railroad wrecking. The sense has been only slowly developed in this country that a railroad la a com mon carrier and that the manager owes a public duty to every shipper, is bound to fairness like a Judge on the bench and Is not at liberty to use. his power over trans portation to enrich himself, as If the road were a private enterprise. It is this lack of distinction between public trusteeship and private property right that is responsi ble for the rakeoff on coal mining profits which influential officials of the Pennsjl vanla railroad have enjoyed. That rakeoff, we think, is utterly inde fensible in the light of, present day moral standards and present day . legal obliga tions of common carriers. The hard headed owners of coal mines did not give away hundreds ol. thousands of dollars' worth of their property as a pledge of love and affection. They gave the stock up because they thought It a necessary step In carrying on business. They gave It up to railroad men oo whom they depended for cars. Without cars and general fair treatment from the railroads their mines were useless. The. . railroad men were In abaolute possession of the key to mining success. Tbelr duty waa to treat all alike. Instead, they favored those who purchased their favor. If they had been private shop keepers, free to serve or to refuse to serve, as they pleased. It .might have been all right for them to force those they dealt with to such terms as they could. But they were not private shopkeepers. They were public trustees, and they were not selling their private aid to a coal miner, but their official action: Perhaps they did not realize it, but the public has' come to a keener sense or the duty to the public and semi-public functionaries, and the sooner the itllroad managers accept and live up to the lew standard, the better for them.

When the Interstste Commerce commis sion announced some weeks sgo that It would Inquire Into the relations of the rail, roads and coal companies In Pennsylvania, and that William A. Olasgow. a Philadel phia attorney, would wield the probe, In terested circles w-re perplexed by the In terrogation. "Who Is Glasgow?" He wasn t very well known to corporation lawyers then. They know him better now, and re fer to him, respectfully, as "Mr. Qlssgow." Th manner and methods of Mr. Glasgow. as well as his makeup, are thus sketched by the Philadelphia North American: For the last two years William A. Glas gow, jr., has been living In Philadelphia and .practicing law every weekday, with the exception of a short vacation In the summer, at the bar of the Philadelphia courts. He Is the tall-ender member' of the law firm of Dickson, McCouch A Glas gow, which has offices In the Bullitt build ing. His home Is J03S Walnut street. Mr. Glasgow ta not a native of Philadel phia. He never knew Philadelphia, and Philadelphia never knew him, until he moved up here with his family from Vir ginia. He was born In Virginia forty-one years ago, and his father, who Is Hi years old, still Uvea there. He began the practice of law In Roan oke, Va, and It didn't take Roanoke long to see that he was a young man of parts. Before he had got hits law books well thumbed he had become counsel for the Norfolk A Western Railroad company. This was the first step In his unconscious prep aration for the work that he Is now doing. As counsel for the railway he learned 1ow railways were operated, how they dealt with their patrons and how they sometimes hid their lights under a bushel, on the theory that It was not always wise to let their right hand know what their left hand was doing. His fee from the railway company was a pretty good Income for Roanoke, but the business did not require all of his time, and he .worked up an excellent practice In addition to his railway work. Circumstances seemed to be shaping Mr. Glasgow Into a regulation lawyer for the corporations. He waa dally Increasing his knowledge of corporation law and familiar ising himself with its intricacies. The factor which Interfered with his de velopment along these lines was his wife. 8he said she wished he would resign from the Norfolk & Western. "But think of the money It pays me," exclaimed Mr. Glasgow. f At first he would not hear to the propo sition, but gradually, as the dropping of water wears away the stone, she prevailed on him to cut loose from the railroads en tirely and to branch out for himself along new lines. For a while it was hard sledding. Mr. Glasgow was worried, and so was Mrs. Glasgow, although she would never admit It until after the rocks were passed. Then Providence took the next step In the making of Interstate Commerce Com missioner Glasgow. One night he came home and told his wife that he had been retained by a large coal company at an annual fee In excess of that paid to him by the Norfolk A Western Railway com pany. Mrs. Olasgow first breathed a sigh of relief, and then she said, aa any woman would have said when such an excellent opportunity offered: "I told you so." Being already well supplied with knowl edge about the railroads, Mr. Glasgow now beearae familiar with the trials and tribu lations of coal companies and with their relations to the railroads. That Is why he knowa what td ask the witnesses whom he summons. Until the Interstate Commerce commis sion was Instructed by congress to find out something about the Siamese twlnshlp between the railroads and the coal com panies Mr. ' Glasgow was an unknown . i . nun. j.i-kl. ' When it was 'announced that the commis sion had appointed William A. Olasgow, jr.. as Its special counsel in the Investiga tion, everybody asked, "Who is Glasgow?" The railroad officials said, "Who's Glas gow?" and smiled. None of them thought that Olaagow could do much harm. He was new and untried and would be easily bluffed. Presently things began to happen. From the Interstate Commerce commission caiue a fire -of letters such as. were new to rail road officers. Questions reaching straight to the heart of questionable arrangements were put and answers not asked, but per emptorily demanded. Information so requesetd was to be given by fixed dates. Before railroad officers had time to think they received notice that hearings In the Investigation would begin, and requiring attendance of these mag nates, big . and .little, as Witnesses. Hav ing been started, . the . Investigation has been a succession of victorious forward dashes. Large In stature, with a shock of straight black hair Intermixed with gray, Mr. Glas gow is alert, prompt, direct. As an ex amining lawyer he understands thoroughly the art of drawing the witness on until he finally gets him Into a place where he can scarcely escape from telling what he krows. "Now, tell us all about" la on of the reassuring questlon-commifids which ,on more than one occasion In this investiga tion haa Induced railroad officers to di vulge facts which they seemingly had for gotten completely. His voice possesses somewhat of the soft Inflection of the southern-tone and his pro nunciation ef many words reveals him as a native-born son of the Old Dominion. Mr. Olasgow fits Into his clothes without being particular that they fit him. In fact. he aeema quite Indifferent to his attire. So is John G. Johnson, who holds (hat anything above 110 fur a business suit is unpardonable extravagance. When Mr. Glasgow examines a witness In this Investigation he takes from his lawyer's cloth bag an oblong square red box. To the railroad officers It has proved another Pandora's box. It contains any number of cards, systematically arranged and ach one giving a full record of some one subject or person. Taking out the particular card needed, Mr. Olasgww begins to question the wit nesa. The latter does not remember, aud one or two leading questions are fired at him. The lawyer Inquisitor Is calm, but the witness Is nervous. He says he lias no "graft" stocks. "Now. be careful, Mr. Blank. Are you quite sure about that?" Mr. Olaagow leana forward, as if waiting for the Information be knows will be forth coming. The witness gives It. "Yes. of course. Now, Just tell the com mission what else you have. We have a right to this Information." In the end the witness has told and ex plained pretty much all he knows. And now you have a working Idea of Mr. Olasgow and his Utile red box.
