BORED A HOLE IN THE SHIP.
Attempt to Scuttle the Gillian Bark
Georgiana at Tacoma.

Georgiana at Tacoma.
TACOMA. july l0.-The first mate of the
Gillian bark Georgiana, loading lumber at
Tacoma mill for Valparaiso. discovered a
dastardly attempt to scutt!e the vessel last
night on going into the hold. A two-inch
auger hole had been bored. but an iron rod
and the sheating on the bottom prevented
it from going through.
Chris Anderson, the ships carpenter, is
strongly suspected OF the act, as it is said
that he has made repeated threats to sink
the ship. No doubt the attempt to scuttle
the ship would have been successful had it
not been for the timely discovery of the
mate.

NINETEEN MEN SHOT.
Terrible Race War in Georgia-Eour Ne
groes Dcad-Two Dying.

GRIFFIN, Ga, July 10. A fatal race
riot occurred at STAIRS mill pond. Fayette
county this afternoon. Four negroes were
killed and six wounded, two of whom are
reported dying. Eight whites we're shot,
but it is thought only one of them fatally,
making nineteen in all killed and wounded.
The trouble started with a row between
darby who was selling wine, and white
man. The quarrel was taken up by others
until many became involved. Shooting soon
became general. and after emptying their
weapons demand was msde to a mer-
chant for more ammunition. He
refused to sell, but the Infatuated
rioters helped themselves TO all
he had. There were over 500 people on
the ground and it is mystery that the
shooting was not more fatal in its result.
The trouble, it is feared, is by no means
ended, and another serious fight is ex-
pected tonight or tomorrow.
BALTIMORE, July 10.-A special to the Sa,
from Charleston. w. Va, says: There are
grave Tears of race war in the Pocahontas

two coiored miners who bad been on an
excursion train on the Norfolk d Western
railroad. while returning home. many
under the influence OF liquor. set upon q
brakeman on the train and nearly killed
him. Four railroad detectives who
were on the train interfered, and terrible
fight occurred, in which the detectives
were badly done up, and one of the ne
groes shot and the others badly beaten.
The train was stopped at q station and
the citizens saved the detectives lives.
Since then the feeling has been very bitter,
and trouble is momentarily expected.

There is a good story going around the

when the honorable gentleman was in the
FIRST flush of success and he found himself
a full-iledged justice Of the peace for the
commonwealth of Texas. The first trial
presided over by the young justice is de.
scribed as a marvel Of judicial fairness.
The ease was Of unusual popular interest,
and the little room was crowded
by friends Of the interested parties.
The wordy battle ragged for some
time. when the lawyer for the defend
Ant moved Ia quash the Indictment and
proceeded To make AN eloquent appeal.
The time had now come for Mr.. Kilgore
TO show the judicial bent Of his mind,
and, assuming "A l6-karat dignity. he pro-
ceedcd to give his decision.
"There are n umb of strong points
in the speech just made" sand the EN-
bryo representative, "but still the court is
not absolutely convinced. ] will then put
the question: All hose in favor of qunsh-
ing the indictment will signify by saying

The THING TO DO.

lHG fFtlNe ~ W.
1t appears that an enthusiastic resi-
dent of Butte is of the opinion that the
city ought to celebrate the Fourth of
July with music and banners and fire
works, the particular incentive TO a
demonstration being that this year, for
the first time under statehood, Mon
tana will have her full share in the
glories of independence day." as the
good old fathers used to term IL.
Whether the general public shares
the opinion of the gentleman In
question r egarding a demonstration
Of the sort he suggests, will not be
known until an expression of senti-
ment has been heard. If the people of
the city make up their minds that they
want a good, O~ld-fashion, sky-rocket
day. If they conclude that the fact OF
realized statehood calls for a special
Offering of powder and Greek fire to the
American eagle, there will be no trouble
about the money Butte is always i'm
funds and is a generous subscriber, al
though the official boards of the city
and county are pretty thrifty these days
and may think twice before they make
appropriations for a general jolliiica-
tion.
AS a rule, American cities are not
keeping up the Old-time forms in the
observance of the eventful Fourth. The
plea has been that the money thrown
away in noisy nothingness is wasted
and that IL ought TO be put TO more
practical use, but ii does not appear that
any new or enduring form in recogni-
tion of the Fourth of July has come i'm
use in cities where the old style of cele-
bration has been abandoned. No city i'm
Montana has yet proposed the recogni-
ton of statehood by the erection of an
enduring monument. If Butte had
anything of the sort i'm view, il would
wisely devote TO that end the contribu-
ton which ordinarily goes for Fourth
of July festivities. But il has no plans
of that sort, so that there is nothing to
consider except the style of recognition
of the day to which the average Ameri-
a city is accustomed.
Under these circumstances, the
STANDARD believes that Butte will go
the good old fashion way and go il
strong. That is what Anaconda pro-
poses TO do, and IL is probable that, in
every city and hamlet of Montana, i'm
this first year of full statured statehood,
the glorious Fourth will come in with a
becoming blare of guns and go out in a
blaze of glory.

That man Kemmler Is a laster. His
case made the circuit of all the courts
in New York state, and the courts
there are more cumbersome than they
are in Montana. The STANDARDS
memory is that the court of appeals In
New York passed on the question of
the constitutionality of the law which
provides for the execution of criminals
10y electricity. When, thereafter,
Kemmler was resentenced. the opinion
was that. having made a tour of all the
courts, the man must face his sentence.
II the warden of Auburn prison had
chosen 10 hurry things, kemmler would
already be forty-eight hours in his
grave, rs the sentence permitted the
execution at any hour during the pres.
ent week. The apparatus for the exc
cution was ready, the experts and sci

LEAST GOVERNED, BEST GOVERNED.

This country has too many men i'm
public life who are constantly devising
schemes to give the general govern
ment too much function. One man
wants to make the federal treasury n
sort of savings bank, another wants
congress To have the right of interior
ence ut every election poll. I'm one di-
rection railroad traffic is unduly inter
fered with: in another direction corpo-
rations and trusts have too much
power in shaping legislation. IL is a
TALLY from the republican party, first,
because that is the party in pow er and,
secondly, because the misnar ed and
abused protective theory of that party
carries IL To lengths not contemplated
under the plan on which this govern
ment was organized and not warranted
by the circumstances or the needs Of
il run unchecked, will carry the coun.
try over the brink into an hereafter
mysterious and disastrous.
The true principle of administration
is that the least government is the best
government. The more the individual
is exalted and the more the govern
ment is simpliiied the better for the
country. The postoilice, and, perhaps,
the telegraph, are rs much rs the gene
raj government ought To undertake Of
private business. but nowadays, while
the telegraph still remains subject To
private ownership, we have the finger
Of the national government dipped into
the pie of every manufacturing and
producing industry in the country.
Government, not competition and pri-
waite enterprise, regulates the iron bust.
ness, the cloth business. the cotton bus
mess, and 10 a great extent the agri-
cultural and mining business of the
country. Government interferes To
build up u tin.plate business at the eN-
pense of the consumer of tin plate,
and dabbles in similar fashion in al
most every industry in the country.
But this isnot all. Government has
stepped in to regulate and control rail
road rates, TO encourage or prevent,
according To its pleasure and for parti-
san motives, the formation of comb.
nations Of capital or of labor. IL has
interfered in the local affairs of states
until petty elections are subject To re-
view at Washington, while officers of
the national government are present at
every congressional polling place in
many parts of the country; and il is
proposed TO 90 a step further and place
every congressional election absolutely
in the hands of national officers. II is
by a narrow vote that the education of
the children of a large portion of the
country has not been assumed by the
national government, and in a score Of
other directions the government is con
stantly reaching out after more power

A PLAN WANTED,

When he was president. Mr.. tleve-
land made TO congress a sound practi-
cal suggestion regarding the course
that should be pursued in the erection
of public buildings. IL was Ia the
effect that there should be a grading of
cities and that the appropriations for
buildings should be based on the re-
ceipts of the Offices that are 10 occupy
them.
There are two serious objections 10
the course which congress now pursues
in making these appropriations. The
first is that the amounts given are IN no
proper proportion TO the needs of the
government service in the respective
cities. The localities fare best that
happen 10 be represented in congress
by men who WELD more influence than
the average member. Thus "A city or
town that really has no strong claim,
may get a muniiicient appropriation
while other cities that merit attention
go nncared for.
In the second place, owing To lack of
any plan, bills are rushed through Ia
final passage without heed TO the con,
siderations of ordinary prudence that
ought TO govern the spending of public
funds. Congress sets out without
knowing how much may be voted for
public buildings during u given session.
and the grand total can never be- known
until the hour of final adjournment
comes. At present there are nearly a
hundred and fifty applications for
buildings trying 10 work their way
through congress. The senate has
passed bills aggregating sl6OOOOo0.

and appropriations for another million

S4,OOO,OOO. The amount to be spent for
buildings by order Of the present SEES
sion of congress, provided the president
does not vigorously apply the veto, will
not fall short of s20,O00.OOO.
Since II is the policy of the govern
ment to provide buildings for its postal
service, for federal courts and for the
customs service, this amount of money
is perhaps not excessive, but the man
ner Of its distribution is unwise and
unfair.
