"Wc- doubt if there Is (i henlth dpptirt
niont In the country which can show a
latter record of efllelcncv tliim Pcran
toii's has shown In this smallpox ni.it
ter. aovernment By Injunction.
0V MANY of thP wurkliiB-
nien who have been led Into
objecting passionately to
"Government by Injunction"
really know what It Is that thov are
objecting to 7 How niiinv of them, If
tlfy did know, would continue to ob
ject? "Government by Injunction," reduced
to plain woias, means this: That when
there Is reason to believe that the com
mission or n lawless net Is In contem
plation by a body of angry men the
couit may, thiongh a decree or public
proclamation, l.iy down what the law
does not permit to be done, and notify
all concerned that If they do what the
law says they shall not do they may
expect promptly to get Into trouble. In
stead of waiting until the horse is stolen
to lock the stable door "government by
injunction" locks the door in advance
and serves notice on loltereis to kpep
hands off. It rests upon the tlme-hon-oied
doctrine that a stitch In time saves
nine; or that a pound of prevention is
worth ii ton of cine.
Unless a man is determined to violate
the laws of property he has no reason
to fear "government by Injunction."
No Innocent man who keeps away fiom
mobs in time of excitement anil stiictly
minds his own business Is in .any dan
ger from "blanket injunctions." AW
cannot understand how law-abiding
and law-respecting men should feel
called upon to molest against some
thing which does not In the least men
ace their liberty, but on the contrary
has in practice proved a most elllclent
means of preserving the general peace
nt times of tumult and pas-sion.
"Government by Injunction" hnd Its
beginning on Mt. Sinai, when the Lord
gave unto Moses the ten tablets of
Mono, every one of which was a per
emptory "thou shalt not'" From that
day to this It lias been u pillar of civil
ization. The Mine Workers did a gracious and
appropriate thing when they voted $.'00
to the McKInley memorial fund. Xo
body of our citizens have better leason
to venerate MeKlnley's memory than
those who earn their living at dally toll.
Regulating Interstate Commerce.
FOIt YKAltS there has been
well-founded complaint at the
Inadequacy of the power
vested In the Interstate Com
merce commission to enforce equality
of treatment among shippers. A bill to
Mipply the deficiency in this direction
Is now pending In the house, having
been Introduced on Jan. 9 by llepie
bentattve Corliss, of Michigan.
Section if. of the present net, which
provides that, when upon investigation
by tho commission, it Is made to appear
to Its satitfuetlon that anything has
been done or omitted to be done, In vio
lation of the provisions of the act, or
of any law cognizable by the commis
sion, by any common carrier. It shnll
be tho duty of the commission to serve
notice upon the carrier to cease and
desist from such violation within a
reasonable specified time, is amended
by the addition of two piovlslons, The
first clothes the commission with power
to determine what change, If any,
should be made us to any rate, tlustil
ticatioh of freight or other practice
fchown at the hearing to have been con
trary to the original ,act; In other
words, to remedy the revealed disease,
Tho second gives such power of appeal
to the railroads as would prevent tho
consummation of manifest injustice,
Tho sixteenth (section of tho original
net Is made strong by reinforcement,
In case of refusal or neglect of a cur
rier to obey uu order of tho commis
sion which haH become obligatory, any
circuit court of tho United States hav
ing jurisdiction is required, upon peti
tion cither of the complainant In the
case or uny party Interested, or of the
commission, to enforce obedience there
to by mandamus, Injunction or other
summary process, The carrier and
every oflicer and agent of such carrier,
neglecting or refusing to obey such or
der Is subject to u penally of $10,000 for
eacli u,m every day which he or It Js
in default. Any circuit court having
jurlftdlctlou ) required, upon petition
of the commission or nny party Inter
ested, to cnjoln'a carrier, Its olllcers or
agents, from giving, and a shipper
from receiving, any concession, either
in the way of rebate, or in the render
ing of any additional' service, or In the
practice of any device by means of
which a less compensation than that
prescribed In the published tariffs Is ul
timately received, or by which n greater
service Is tendered In ally respect. The
court shall have power to compel tho
attendance of wltncssec, and tho pro
duction ot hooks and papers, both of
the cnrrler and shipper, relating In any
respect thereto,
The section of the original net pre
scribing penalties Is very materially
braced up. As amended, It provides
that every carrier, or Its agent or rep
resentative, who shall transport or of
fer tti transport trafllc at uny other
rate, or upon uny other terms or con
ditions, than those stated In the pub
lished tariffs; or who, by payment ot
uny rebate or by nny other device, do
parts from such tariffs, or transports
Iruillu without hrtvlng published a
tariff applicable thereto; and any per
son who procures or solicits or nltls or
nbets the doing of any ot the aforesaid
ucts. Is declared guilty of a misde
meanor and subject to a line of not less
than $.",000 nor mure, than $20,000 for
each such offense. The corporation do
ing any of these things Is penalized;
and the act of any olllcer, agent or em
ploye of it carrier shall be deemed to
be tho act of the currier as well as
that of the person. The giving of false
weights, descriptions or representations
concerning a subject for transporta
tion is made a misdemeanor and is
Unable In from $1,000 to $5,000 for each
offense.
In brief, the law Is to be put Into pii
forclblo shape. This should be done,
or the law should be repealed. In Its
present shape, It Is simply a. travesty.
Ilemove the power of courts to en
Join strikers from committing acts of
trespass or violence and you might as
well cancel the whole body Of our laws.
Let Justice Be Done.
NO JUDICIAL proceeding In
some time has had a better
Influence upon public opin
ion than that which lias re
sulted In holding the olllclals of the
Xew York Central Railroad company
tesponslble for the loss of life and
human suffering caused by the leeent
horrible tunnel accident. Here was a
coroner's jury which showed judgment
and usefulness, and there Is good rea
son to believe that District Attorney
Jerome will follow the case up until
the higher courts have decided the
punishment due to a wealthy corpor
ation which has, for years, in the face
of repeated warnings, maintained In
the heart of a populous city and on
one of the most traveled parts C its
line, a notorious death trap.
It Is necessary that corporations of
this kind should be held to strict ac
count. Where accidents occur through
breakdown of carefully established
precautions, as they do, fiom time to
time, in the best regulated of Incor
porated families, attempts to fasten
criminal responsibility on alert and
conscientious olllclals are properly dis
countenanced; but whore, dangers to
the safety of the traveling public of
long and notorious standing are per
mitted to remain through tho negli
gence or Indifference of a company well
able to meet all the expenses of putting
its line In the best possible condition,
and In consequence a great destruction
of life and property ensues, It Is re
quired of Justice and necessary for the
maintenance of public confidence In
our courts that punishment shall be
administered commensurate with the
crime.

American Progress.
fff ff V113 PKOGllESS of the
feb I I'nlted States in Its
". Material Industries" is
the title of a monograph
Issued by the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tistics, containing a series of state
ments that show the rapid develop
ment during tho century of the import
ant factors In the present prosperity of
the country. These tables show the de
velopment In products of the field, for
est, mine and manufactory, the growth
in our poulutton, wealth and commerce,
the extension of railways, telegraphs
and other methods of communication
and transportation, and present an In
tcre.Hting picture of the progress of the
United States and Its peole dunVg the
period from 1S0O to 1001.
Among the interesting facts pre
sented by these tables are the growth
of production, the growth of commerce,
the growth of wealth, the growth of
money In circulation, the growth of de
posits In savings and other banks, tho
decrease In Interest on the public debt,
and many other facts of this character.
On the production side, it may be said
that the cotton pioduced has increased
from 155,530 bales in 1S0O to O.'SC.UO
bales In 1100; the wool produce, from
35,S02,1H pounds In 1840 to 302,50.,,028
pounds In 1900; wheat, from 151,9l)0,!)OG
bushels In 1SCC to 2,105,102,510 bushels In
1P00; copper, from C50 tons In 1S50 to
270.58S tons In 1900; pig Iron, from 10ri,
000 tons In 1830 to 15,800,000 tons in 1901;
petroleum, from 21,000,000 gallons In
1SC0 to 2.001,233,508 gallons In 1900; coal,
from 3,33S,S99 tons 111 1830 to 267,850,000
tons In 11)01; and gold, from $30,000,000 In
1850 to $79,171,000 in 1900.
During tho period tinder considera
tion, exports of merchandise have
grown from $70,971,780 in 1800 to $1,487,
704,991 In 1901; the per capltu In 1800 be
ing 113.37 and in 1901, $18.31, Tho im
ports of merchandise have grown from
$91,252,7t!S In 1S00 to $823,172,165 111 190),
whlla the per capita Imports have
fallen from $17.19 In 1S00 to $10,58 In 1901.
Turning to the flgurcp which show
the net results of, these developments,
those relating to wealth, circulation,
deposits, etc., the tables show that tho
wealth has Increased from $7,135,780,000
In 1850 to lin estimated $94,300,00O-,00O 111
1900; the per capita wealth, from $30f.6y
In 1830 to $l,235.fc0 In 1900. The publlo
debt, less cash In tho treasury, was, in
IS03, $7fi.'JS per capltu, and In 1901 wus
$13,41 per eupltu; while tho Interest on
the publlo debt, which In 18G7 wus $11.1,
781,092, hud fallen to $32,312,797 In 1901.
The figures of money in circulation
show, In I860, a total of $433,407,252, and
In 1501, $2,175,387,277. The circulation
per cuplta In 1860 was $13.35; In 1301,
$28.02. The deposits In savings banks
In 1830 were $6,973,301; In 1883, fifty
three years later, they were $1,021,85.6,-
77, and by 1901, n further period of
only eighteen years, had reached $2,
597,091,530. Meantime the national bank
ing system had conic into operation,
and In JSG3 the leposlts In national
banks were $500,910,873: In 1S80, $1,006,
I52,S."3, iihd III 1901, $8,014,600,000. The
number ot depositors In suvlngR banks
grew from 38.08. In 1S30 to 1,067,001 In
18GG, and 6,338,723 In 1901. Hallways
grew from J,021 miles In 1S50 to 199,378
In 1901; and freight curried one mile
Iherensed fiom 39,;102,209,249 tons In 1882
to 141,162,109,413 tons In 1900, fielght
lutes falling mrautlntu from 1.2lo per
ton per mile to 75-10O ot one cent per
ton per mile.

Fair Piny For Cuba.
X THIC United Suites, proper, the
production ot sugar Is about
450,000 tons n year; while 111 the
Island dependencies wo produce,
all told, Including the production of
Cuba, about u million tons more. Yet
we annually have to Import from Eu
rope, to supply our rapidly increasing
demand, from 700,000 to SOO.O0O tons.
In other words, the home production,
after many yeuis of sugar raising, Is
only about tone-fifth of our consump
tion; and, as General AVood says,
when it Is remembered that the con
sumption is rapidly Increasing, being
still nearly twenty pounds less per
capita than the consumption of Great
Britain, It seems ridiculous to claim
that the granting of n twenty-five per
cent, tariff concession to the million
ton good-times sugar v.ciop ot Cuba
would work serious or even appreci
able hardship to the home sugur-gi ow
ing interests.
The gross selfishness of the opposi
tion to giving Cuba a fair start Is hu
miliating to every sensitive American.
Grover Cleveland, in his veeent letter
to Mr. Farquhnr, did not overstate the
facts. In so far as it is n sodden at
tempt to preserve unnecessary protec
tion at the expense ot the American
consumer it Is Infamous; and in so far
as It represents an endeavor to bring
about by commercial coercion the pre
mature annexation of Cuba It is short
sighted and tinwoithy of a great peo
ple. If Cuba is ever to come into the
Ameilcan fold permanently, It should
not be until she has had experience In
self-government. We should not want
her to come In with her people sullen
and resentful. Her coming should he
voluntary, and the result of natural
gravitation. Otherwise It would rep
lesent only additional embarrassment.
We do not need Cuba. Cuba needs us.
That being true, It should be unneces
sary for us to plot to bilng to pass
the Inevitable. Much better would It
be to do what is honorable and fair,
trusting in Providence to determine
the lesult.
The sending of an Ameilcan em
bassy to the coronation of King Ed
ward Is in response to an oflicinl Invi
tation. Xo doubt if we asked them to,
the courts of Europe would willingly
send embassies to our inaugurations.
Those who fancv that Theodore
Roosevelt, through fear of political
consequences, will hesitate to do what
he thinks right with "Schley's appeal
evidently don't know the man.
A good way to respond to the numer
ous European disclaimers of hostile in
tent during our late war would be to
say: "We'll forgive you tills time, but
don't let it occur again."
