MAN Is HONEST
at Least No One Can Convince DR.. Gilbert
to the Contrary.


to the Contrary.
The Rev. Dr. J. l. Gilbert, while recently
travelling in Texas on the international Great
Northern road, had a remarkable experience,
which has given HIM more confidence in man.
kind than he has ever before had. In an acct
dental manner he lost his pocket-book, con-
tanning ali his money, tickets and valuable
papers. The train was going at its
greatest speed and had just cleared
dense wooded land when the
good doctor made known to Conductor Robert
L. Sadler OF San Antonio his predicament.
The train Immediately stopped and the
claim agent Of the road, George NJ. Caskey Of
Taylor, volunteered to 90 back alone and
search for the poeket-book. The train had COW
cred fully i've miles from the point the book
had been dropped, nevertheless the young
man went on. As soon as possible the train
was again gotten under Roadway and pro-
ceeded onward TO its destination. The
conductor, without solicitation, went
down in his pocket and loaned Or. Gilbert-an
entire stranger TO him-sufiicieut money TO
carry him home. At Little Rock a telegram
reached him announcing that his money had
been found and had been sent him at Indian
apolis. \ telegram has been received by DR..
Gilbert from the general manager, j. W. Cady.
70 whom the whole affair was reported. To a
SENTINEL man last night DR.. Gilbert said he
was going TO use every influence TO have the
men promoted, as such conduct deserves a rich
reward.

The Wool Tariff.
+ y Cort,,s.of,l pr1totf,


The wool-growers and northumberland
appear to have abandoned attempts at a re-
coDciliation Of their differences in reference to
the tariff. Before the last congress convened
every endeavor was made 70 unite forces in a
demand for a revision of the wool and wooden
tariff on principles that would suit all con-
cerned except the unfortunate and unconsid-
cred consumer. But the conflict had already
broken out, and il not easy to keep up an
appearance Of harmony. There were manufac-
turers who saw that their interests demanded a
lower tariff on wool, and that public sentiment
would not sustain nor trade conditions justify
the schemes Of prOhibitory duties. Now that
n new congress is approaching, and the wool
growers are even demanding an extra session
70 increase duties on raw wool, the breach be-
tween growers and manufacturers is widened
and the declaration is made that the manufac-
turers may be forced 10 meet the unreasonable
demand OF the growers by urging free wool.
This conflict between factions both rigidly
protectionist in sentiment, is bringing out plain
statements OF fact as to the economic effects Of
the wool tariff, and from sources that cannot
be denounced as free trade" nor hostile to
American manufacturing interests.

The Ring Is shattered.


We are told that the new Indiana series" of
school books is printed in Missouri. This is
quite as we'll as having books printed in Ohio,
Illinois, New York and elsewhere. as are the
books furnished by the ring. Free trade
among the states is guaranteed by the con-
stitution. We are told that the democrats
made this law, which has finally made begin
ming of the end OF the school book ring, a eau
Gus measure. We are sure that the democrats
can afford n feel complacent over that fact and
call public attention to il frequently. The re-
publicans did not make opposition to this law
a caucus measure, but all the help that the
unscruplOus school-book lobby got came
from the republicans, and the vicious efforts
that have since united with the schoOl-bOok
ring to kill the law have been from republican
sources. The people are to be congratulated
that they have come to nOught The governor

progress that Indiana enterprise should furnish

The Clay County Mines.

To THE ED1ToR-Sir: l cannot help feeling
that the Clay county miners are being robbed.
OF course it is under the color of law, but none
the less cruel. Ny contribution will do little
toward relieving the distress, but I hope
enough will thus show their sympathy with
these men in this fight to enable them to come
out ahead; at least that they will not be COM
PEELED to make humiliating surrender.
But, after all, it is our own social system
that Is at fault. A few men are enabled under
our laws to monopolize the natural opportuni.
ties for wealth, and thus reduce the majority of
mankind to virtual slavery. This must be
stopped, and it certainly could be if we were
not so conservative and content to continue in
old ruts ! am hopeful when these men band
together. They thus learn how they are being
wronRed, and will at length learn that il is in
their power TO apply the remedy.

the want and deprivation those people are sub
jected 10, il recalls the Introductory sentence
TO one Of Mr. Pentecost's speeches during the
last campaign: And some people say there is

been bought. but OF the 5000 breweries in
the United States the English capitalists

been getting options on breweTies, and they
have peddled them around. OF course
they have failed.

peared in the London edition of the New

ROthschilds, had offered 10 buy out the
Annhauser-B Busch brewery. at st, Louis. /

he had never heard OF Mr.. Underwood,
and he didn't know what Annhauser-
Busch was, never having heard of that
either. The Barings are not in IL, I'm sure.

English law than are American stockhOld-

Another Land Ruling.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l6.-Assistant
Commissioner Stone to-day rendered Il
decision in case which involved the
question of proof III school indclA nifty
selections in Oregon. Oregon was
granted every sixteenth and thirty.
sixth section of land for school pur-
poses. The law also provided that in
case any OF these lands had been en-.
tered under the public land laws prior
to the date of the grant the State
should be entitled to indemnity there
for, and might make indemnity selec.
tions from any unoccupied public
lands. In pursuance of this authority
the State, it appears, selected in the
aggregate large tract of land upon
which expired presumption filings were
on record. The question at issue was
whether the burden of proof of the
fact that the filings expired rested with
the State or with the parties who made
the filings.
The Assistant Commissioner holds
in favor of the State, and has directed
in all such cases that the pre-emptoI
shall be required to appear before the
local land Office within twenty days
after the receipt of the notice and
show cause why the entry has not
been cancelled, thus throwing the
burden OF the proof upon the entry
man. 1t is said there are a large
number of cases in the General Land
Office which will be disposed of in this
manner.

A Magnificent Showing.

The returns made of the assessed
valuation of taxable property i'll the
Territory, for the current year, make a
magnificent showing. The increase
for many years past has been gradual
and steady, indicating a wholesome,
permanent growth, but OF late the val
uations have augmented so rapidly as
to excite the wonder even OF our own
people, who, knowing our resources,
have expected great achievements.
The returns in 1885, showed an ag-
grcgate valuation in round numbers OF
SOL 10000. In 1886, this had in
creased to SCI O0O, 900, which was con-
sidered a very fair step III the line OF
progress. In 1857, there was Jump
to $s4 900 900, but this was deemed to
be owing mainly to the assessment OF
railroad lands, which had up to that
time been exempt, under the gross
earnings system of taxing those cor
porations. There was doubtless a
healthy increase independent of that
cause. Now, in 1889, we are gratified
to find that the grand aggregate is
$l25,OOO,OOO, a net increase OF over
$40, OO0, 600, without any further addi-
ton of new classes of property valua-
tons to the roll. The assessment by
counties Except Okanogan) is as fol
lows, complied from returns to the
Territorial Auditor:
