Probably the Presidents proclamation and
the fear Of encountering United States troops
will quiet the Washington Territory anti
Chinese mobs for the present, and prevent
a repetition of the massacre at Rock
Springs. But to avert similar occurrences
in the future measures must be taken to
bring the ringeaders of the recent dis
can be assumed that when the United
States troops are out of the way there
will be revival of the riotous spirit and
more attempts to clean out the hated Chi
nese. The difficulties in the way of melting
out justice to the leaders of these mobs are
great, and in some localities perhaps insup-
cradle. The great mass OF. the people of the
territories from which juries must be select
ed undoubtedly sympathize to a certain ex-
tent with the mobs. They want the Chinese
to go, and though they may not sanction the
methods employed to hasten their exit,
good many of them no doubt consider the
mobs guilty of nothing worse than an excess
Of zeal. The prosecuting officers, too, are
likely to be affected by the atmosphere of
public opinion in which they live, and their
efforts weakened thereby. 1t will be an in
delible stain upon the escutcheon of a coun-
try which proclaims itself to be a land of the
free if the men who have organized murder
and robbery of race, because they work
cheaper and live more frugally than the
whites, go unwhipped of Justice.

J. y. P. elsewhere gives a number of unan-
swerable reasons why the legislative reunion
should be held in Portland rather than in
Augusta. The only reason for selecting Au-
gusta is that it is the capital city where the
legislature meets. But this is sentimental
reason and ought to have little weight as
compared with the practical reasons in favor
of Portland given by J. j. p.

Judge Allen, of the Superior Court of
Massachusetts, has granted the petition Of
Mr.. Taber for divorce from his wife, on
the ground that the latter was guilty OF adul-
terry with the Rev. Mr.. Downs. No sane per-
son familiar with the testimony in the case,
can doubt the justice of the decision. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether Mr.. Downs will
still continue to brazen it out, or will retire
into that deep obscurity for which his lack
of brains. as well as want of moral sense,
admirably adapts him.

Mr. Manton Marble has been abroad off
cially to in terview the three great CONNER
cial power of Europe in regard to their feel
ings on the subject of bimetallism. What
he found out, if anything, it is impossible to
gather from what of his report the admins
tration has made public. Bnt there is no
reason to believe that the opinions of the Eu-
ropean governments have changed materially
on the subject since the last bimetallic con-
ference We all know what it was then.
At present the chances are that we are to
get no aid in establishing the double stand
ard, and as long as we make the United
States treasury market for all the silver of
the world we are not likely to get any. The
greatest kindness the friends of the white
metal can do 1t is to stop its coinage.
The Tories have succeeded in thrusting the
question of the disestablishment of the
church to the front, and there appears to be
almost panic among the Liberals. Glad
stone in his manifesto said that was ques-
ton for the remote future and that the next
Parliament would not deal with it, but the
indiscreet utterances of Joseph Chamber
lain, the Radical leader, have excited the ap-
prehension of the church people that discs
tablishment would speedily follow Liberal
success, and they are greatly agitated about
it. The Archbishops of York and Canter-
bury have issued addresses calling upon the
faithful to lay aside their party predictions
and unite to save the church The Tories see
ing their opportunity have now raised the cry
that the church can only be saved by Tory
Parliament and it looks as if the Liberals
would be beaten unless Gladstone is able to
allay the fears of the church people.

The suggestion of correspondent in anoth
or column that some provision should be
made for policemen who are compelled to re-
tire on account of having reached the age
limit, is one, we believe, that will strike our
citizens favorably. The duties of police
man are arduous and exacting, and attended
with considerable danger to life and limb.
The pay is small. and with the strictest
economy policeman cannot accumulate
much, if anything. 1t seems cruel and I'M
just at the age of sixty, when his physical pow
ers are on the decline and his capacity for
self support is weakened, to turn an officer
adrift who has spent his life in faithful and
and honorable service in the protection of
the property and lives of his fellow citizens.

A REIGN of terror has prevailed at
Miles City, Montana, ever since Christ
mas eve. At Il dance in that city two
women quarreled and engaged in a
bloody fight, when their respective
causes were espoused by two men named
Roberts and Gull,ran, VIM fought des-
perately until Sullivan shot Roberts dead.
The murderer then escaped to rancho
out about sixteen miles. The sheriff and
posse went out 10 capture him and upon
his refusal to surrender, a fire was open
ed upon the house which contained, in
all, eight persons. DR.. Corlin stepped
to the door with his baby in his arms,
and both were shot and killed. During
the excitement the murderer escaped
but has since been captured. All law
abiding citizens feel indignant at the Of
ficers for shooting a worthy man and
his child for the sake Of a worthless fell
low, and excitement in the city is at
fever pitch. Talk of lynching Sullivan
has been rife, and the better element
are determined that justice shall be
done. The roughs have threatened the
judge with assassination II he does not
run his court in their interests. The
editor of the daily Journal has also been
threatened for speaking fearlessly
through the paper. 1t is a deplorable
state of affairs, and time only will prove
the sequel.

THE FREE PRnss, It may a. well be IN
derstood, is no friend to John Peter st.
John; and while It has all due regard
for temperance men, as well rs Christians
and law-abiding citizens, II will speak
the mind of its editor freely, frankly and
fearlessly as regards that arbitrator to
the Republican party, who recently
headed the Prohibition ticket.
Last week we took occasion to copy O
letter into the columns of this paper
from the pen of Mr.. Jno. F. Lee, a resi-.
dent of Kansas and. gentleman who
evidently knows 81. John from the ground
up. We alluded to this letter In brIei
manner, and 1t has attracted the atten.
ton of our readers. We hope every
one who has not perused 1t, will take
the first opportunity to read It entire.
We did not think that there was Q reader
of THE FREE Press so thin-skinned as to
endeavor to boycott US by stopping his
paper because of our position. But such
is the case. Two good prohibitionists
have respectfully asked US to discontinue
their papers, and we have promptly
complied. Perhaps these gentlemen,
acting independently no doubt from each
other, imagined that the article had
direct reference to themselves and fel,
justly indignant. But we would disabuse
their minds. We had no thought Of
them. The article was dealing with one
who really has no greater merit fol
prominence than either Of them, but
who by chance has gained considerable
more notority than they can ever hope
for.
THE FREE PRRss believes in free speech.
1t is bound to speak its mind though the
heavens fall. 1t will always strive to
treat men and measures according Ia
their merits, and when We strike blow
that hits hard, please bear in mind that
the subject treated deserves it, as we see
it, and no amount of threats or boycottinl
will change our course one iota.
1t should not be expected that news
paper can be made to please everybody
and if there is now and then a thin
wooded individual, who cannot dictate
the policy of his local paper, the sooner
he subscribes for one that he can run
the easier will he feel.
