Tho criminal rbal prosecutions la the federal court at St- Taul against four railroad companies on eleven In dictments charging 147 violations, also agalnft eleven individual otllclals of tlii roads and four grain companies receiving the rebates, are an Incident that strikingly mark the progress of national law enforcement. Hero all the parties to the violation, the receiv ers and the grantors of tho illesyil dis criminations, as well as the corpora tion agents who arranged It, aro called Into court to answer. In the earlier stages of the effort to punish rebate violations such a thor ongh proceeding; was impossible be cause of the difficulty in procuring tho r.ecesnary legol proofs, although exten sive habitual disregard of the law on the part of the carrier companies and shippers was notorious. It was In deed a notable achievement of the Roosevelt administration when it suc ceeded in securing convictions against railroad rebators by using the testi mony of parties to the offense even at the cost of immunity. But the de clHlons of, the supreme court of the United States that have resulted from arduous prosecution, the remedial leg islation at the late session of congress and the turning Inside out of the whole subject by judicial, commission and legislative investigation have at length so fortified the government, while correspondingly weakening the rebaters as to lay them all open to at tack, whatever part they may have bad in the violation. These comprehensive prosecutions at St. Taul, la line with others else where already begun or In prepara tion, establish the salutary fact of pub lic polity that the antl-rebato law In a living fact, making it dangerous for all offenders, whether those who give or those who receive, or tho go-betweens, in the consummation of its defiance. MVRVER OS "BELIEF-" What appears to be a deliberate murder committed by a conspicuous member of society who was at once a judge and a congressman-elect crit ically raises the question whether in Louisiana the law penalizing homicide Is a farce. The sole suggestion on be half of the culprit is the one, in gen eral terms, that ho "followed the un written law," acting in the belief that he was avenging an affront to his fam ily, a plea that competes In favor with that of "emotional Insanity," where tho fact of deliberate murder Is indisputably certain. The law provides appropriate rem edy for serious affront to family, and belief, even though it were warranted, that affront had been offered, not only is no excuse for murder, but may con ceivably aggravate the crime. The notion that belief or even knowledge that an offense has been committed authorizes the individual to take a life is utterly inconsistent with the funda mental conception of law and civilized society. Yet in this sensational Louisiana case there Is obvious intent, bo fla grant re the circumstances of the crime, to resort to the demoralizing and anarchistic heresy of "the unwrlt-' ten law," a plea which Is a denial of all law aud which If allowed generally would plac human life at the hazard of Individual caprice, belief or malice. rendering legal safeguards a mere f,ham. It is up to Louisiana justice to decide whether such a precedent shall be established in our day. FEZSS YLVaXIA rutteskess. The duty Incumbent upon the state government of Pennsylvania, In abso lute disregard of election statistics, is to attack and clean out the monu mental corruption which has been dis closed in its operation. The fact that the republican party has secured con trol of all departments only enhances the obligation upon It to punish tho wholesale frauds that have gone on la state administration, and the evil Is so flagrant that failure now would be only an aggravation of the offense by sanctioning and protecting It The stenchful scandal concerning the new utate tapltol is already nation- grotesque Brit. u puuuv treasury was mea to tae tune 01 $9,000,000 for the furniture and decorations of a $4,000,000 building shall be forthwith probed officially to the last detail of spoliation aud the guilty condlgnly punished, the shame of Pennsylvania will be confirmed and complete and the fault of the republi can organization obvious. It would be absurd to make prcteuso of reform in minor brunches of the state service, however much it is needed, if such towering robbery were let go unmo lested. Fortunately there is ground for hope that the Incoming administration may grapple with the rnoustrous local abuses, though powerful Influences within the party are implicated. Whether it be true that President Roosevelt received assurances to that effect, it is a fact that the state leg islature at its last session enacted a remarkable series of reform legisla tion, among other improvements greatly enlarging the legal means for dealing effectively with Just such a rotten state of affairs aa had lately been exposed. It will take at least u year and a half for the new telephone company, to whom a franchise has Just been voted, to get Its plant built and its ex change open. But there Is nothing to prevent the city authorities from niov- j ing for an immediate reduction of i rates ou business telephouca supplied by the present company alnq.. the 1 Hue uf it vffor of a tsw ik a.o. If & dollar a month can bo mved on eaih business telephone in this' city for elchteen months the concession will b? worth having, tven If rothluK more i-t secured. The fact that the present company offered this reduction voluntarily Is pretty good tvldenco that it would not bo unreasonable. IiLLARD rUTS IT VA K. Although elected by a substantial Diajority over an oppoutnt whose cam paign was waged solely on the ques tion whether ho was legally entitled to compensation for tho entire term Of the succession to Mr. Uurkett, or only for that part of It actually served, Congressman Pollard has nevertheless decided to return to the government the l,i0 in dispute. The letter, which he has made public, transmit ting his check for that amount to the disbursing officer of the houpc Is cer tainly creditablo to his sincerity, but probably dismaying to hl3 accusers. .Congressman Pollard admits that he has found no precedent exactly on all fours with his own' cage, and as Eferti that under the circumstances he does not want to place himself in a position of holding or claiming any thing to which he has not a clear right.' Had ho responded to the de mands of his political enemies during tho campaign ho would surely have beeu pilloried as confessing willful wrong-doing and would have in no way strengthened himself In the pub lic estimation, whereas bis present course cannot fail to secure for him credit, at least, for good Intentions. In the meanwhile, tho public will wait patlontly to learn whether the example Bet by Mr. Pollard will be followed by the late Candidate Shal lenbcrger with reference to the mile age which he drew from the govern ment as congressman , In reimburse ment for railroad fare never paid out when he rode down to Washington on free transportation. If Mr. Shallen berger will now "put it back" a new political standard will have been es tablished on both sides of the political fence In Nebraska. H ORK OF Tflf GRAM) JVRT' The grand Jury, which has Just made its report aud been discharged, has, so far oa external appearances go, done its best to get at the facts as to the existence of combinations in restraint of trade among local dealers, which was the special purpose for which it was called. The only cases in which a sufficient foundation was found to base Indict ments proved to be those of the Coal exchauge in Omaha and its auxiliary In South Omaha. Whether the organ izations maintained by the coal deal ers, although the purpose Is undis guised, really come In. conflict with the provisions of the law against trusts will have to be developed upon hear ing later. What the people want is to break up Illegal combinations, pun ishment being only incidental to this object. It goes without Baying that these cases should be tried by County Attorney Slabaugh before he goes out of office, because his successor, Mr. English, is on record as having ap proved the constitution and bylaws, which the grand Jury has declared warranted indictment. As to other alleged trusts among the ice men, the milk men und the fire insurance men, the finding of the grand Jury Is a lack of specific proof of law violation. It uhould be notice, however, to those connected with these branches of business to mend their ways and give the people the benefits of absolutely freo com' petition. The grand Jury's recommendations for the county jail will hardly meet with public approval'. An addition or wing to the present Jail building, as suggested, is out of the question, be cause what is needed is an entirely new structure, either on another site or In connection with a new court house. Otuuhrt has Just voted more bonds to pay the city's share of extending the area of paved streets.

Major Bierce was a friend of rresiaent MeKlnley, and, he says, wrote the lines, not for the purpose of Instigat ing aassl nation, but In prophecy that If such crimes as that aralnst Gotl.el went unpunished, then the assassin's bu; let would strike higher un. Tt,-ntv months Inter the prophecy was fulfilled, and Mc.Klnley was killed. It was then. Major Bierce says, the enemies of Hearst dug up the lines. wrested them from thetr context and used them. Just as Secretary Root did in his Utah speech, to make It appear Hearst papers Incited Mckinley's removal. VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE. Significance or Republican Soereaa In ' Xebraaka. Kansas City Times. The corporation issue In Nebraska, since the state conventions were held, has not been acute for the. reason that the cor porations lost out In both conventions. But while good tickets, pledged by strong platforms, were nominated by both par ties, tho corporations threw their influ ence to the democratic side, probably be cause Sheldon, the republican candidate for governor, and Brown, the candidate for the United States senate, had made their reputatione In fighting the abuses of the railroads. The opposition to Sheldon and Brown included not only the combined strength cf the railroads, but also the milling and lumber interests of the stata. Because of the character of this fight, the republican victory in Nebraska is a peo ple's victory. It Is one more blow to cor poration interference. It is a new evidence that the people, brought face to face with the issues of reform, are ready to wipe out or greatly reduce traditional majori ties in favor of the right. It Is a lesson In popular strength and it also should be a lesson to corporations that have inter fered la politics. "OPPOUTl . IT V." Helpful Hot Diametrically Opposed Philosophy.

I I .. 1 1 m lahAF lUf The conditions wIU !i provoked the party upheaval In local administrative offices re lated to municipal problems wholly snd had no mow relation to ministerial policies than city eWUnns jn the United States have to the policies of the federal govern ment. Just aa the minority party In tho United Ptatets chuckle and waxes Jiyful over favorable "straws" in off years, so likewise the tnrleo take all the romf-n-t possible from the local elections, magnify big their Importance for the purpose of encouraging and strengthening party fol lowers. The primary causrs of the revul rlon In local administrative affairs were STttravagume In distributing public funds, municipal paternalism, excessive cost of public works and the Inevitable Increase In taxation. Taxpoyers In England would be a rnre class lndid that did not revolt against Increased burdens, specially when normal taxation Is difficult to bcir. They demanded a change and worked for It, TTiey struck right and left with their votes, faring little for party lMs so long ss the candidate was pledged to economy and relief. An article In the North American Re view for October in, by Krnest E. Wil liams, an English writer upon economics, a-ives an account of the conditions ngilnst which thla revolt of the people lias taken place. For a number of years past the policy of municipalizing every possible service haa had full swing. The London county council has been operating street railways and steamboats, building hounes and carrying on public works by day labor. Thus It appears from tho council's own reports that In tho municipal steamboat service $65 has been expended for evory IS received during the winter season. While offices of tho Imperial government have been paying contractors IK.60 per rod of brickwork, the public works department of the council hns been paying 1110 per rod for inferior work. The difference Is easily explained when It is known th-At brick layers working for contractors will luy 1,000 bricks a day, wliilo 330 a day is eitodgh for a bricklayer on a public ownership Job. The council started a municipal brick yard, ajtd tho bricks turned out are de clared unlit for use In building, but they aro being used in order to prevent total loss on the experiment. So that the coun cil itself is doing "Jerry" building such as it would never allow a contractor to Jo. In all departments expenditures havo In creased, while results are declared to bo crude and unsatisfactory. The municipal debt has more than doubled In the last twenty yenrs, and taxes also have Increased to nbnormal figures. The per.ple who pay tVie taxes have found the situation unen durable, and they have risen in their tnicht and swept the municipal ownership politi cians from power. During the last fifteen years there have been repeated crop failures In Russia and the cultivators have grown steadily poorer. The number of people drifting about the country sometimes seeking work !nnf arvmotlmen rnmtn It t ror vtolenpr. Ima increased rapidly. They have no land to cultivate, or no means of cultivating it, and they are Industrial "floaters"-a very dangerous clement Twenty-seven prov inces are suffering from famine, and it Is only a few weeks since harvest- In some of these provinces the famine was marked In September. From March to June there was drouthed, and the seed did not gernil uate. Some peasants are selling their horses, but they have been doing that at Intervals for several years, and there are large sections of tho country where the stock of domestic, animals Is entirely In adequate for cultivation and for the manur ing of the soil. The email production per acre Is due In great measure to the scarcity of cattle and horses. Other peasants are feeding the thatch to their animals. That has been done before, but In the end the aninrals are lost; they cannot stand tha winter without shelter. NVarly 30.iT0,(O3 people are doomed to starvation this wlnt".r. The government hasn't money to do much, and relief funds are habitually stolen. The famine is described as more terrible than the memorable famine following the crop failures of 1S01. Among the many Buddhist-Shinto saints, whot quaint etflgios set up in every con ceivable nook and corner of Japan make it a "country of graven images, says a writer in Ieslie's Weekly, one of the most Impressive and interesting Is the pathctlo person called Blnzuru. He was once upon a time a member of that strange company of Buddhist disciples known as tho "Six teen Rakkan." But one day he fell from grace by remarking upon the attractions of a woman, and he was expelled from the society of chnste brethren. The great Buddha gave him, in return for all that his worldllness had cost him, power to heal human ills and to grant tho prayers of chil less women who longed for motherhood. But he was put outside the temples. He must henceforth sit without, In the midst of the passing throng, and submit himself to personal contact with all that wus un clean and healthlt-ss. Tho simple-hearted people lovo him, I think, above all saints. His wooden Images In the templo porches are the strangest objects In all Japan. They give biin soft cushions to sit upon, and he ia always clothed In quaint little cotton-stuff collars end mufflers in all aorta of soiled-looking colors; and on his bead his devotees usually keep a curious 1 1 t e cotton cap.

In a small way St. Helena shares with Venice the doleful distinction of demonstrating that the prosperity of a maritime place Is identi fied with the continuance of a trado route. Though Venice died slowly, the discovery of the cape of Good Hope route to the east was a blow from which it never recovered. Until tho Sues cannl was put In operation, St. Helena was a great place of call for the eastern trade. The harbor of James town was often crowded with vessels of all nations. It was also a favorite place for recuperation with American whalers. All except the whalers have gone, and they aro few. These Is a steady stream of emigration from the island to South Africa and the United Plates, and before long only the visits of the curious to the last dwelling place of Napoleon, which is owned by the French nation, will prevent Ht.

Twelve railroad attorneys have been elected mem bers of the constitutional convention elven democrats and one republican. The New York election furnishes two quaint coincidents.
