ENGLAND IND orr TARIFF

Our democratic friends have told
us that Great Britain takes no
interest In the tariff fight in the
United States. Then what does Mr..
Vincent, NJ. r., mean by rising in
the house of commons and drawing
the attention OF the government to
the passage of the Mckinley bill?
And why does he call upon the gov
eminent to demonstrate with the
government of the United States in
the interest Of the manufactures of
Sheffield, Belfast, South Wales and
other British manufacturing CEN
tere?
If Mr., Vincent IL really desirous
Of embarrassing Grover Cleveland
and the democratic party of the
United States, he could not have de-
viscd neater or more expeditions
way of going about the business,
And II the government of Great
Britain has the least desire to hurry
up the passage Of the Mckinley bill
by the senate, by all means let IL
adopt the suggestion Of Mr.. Vincent.
The British government knows bet.
ter than That. II is sufficiently as
tuie not to stick its finger
In the American tariff pie.
and thereby hasten the bsk.
Ing. 1t is not IL chump, al-
though Mr.. Vincent, NJ. p, has
earned that title, The government
OF the United States is not legislat-
ing for Bcifas, and Sheffield. 1t Is
trying to build up American in-
dustrles. IL Grover Cleveland and a
democratic congress had been elected
at the last presidential election, sug-
gestions on the tariff from the
British government would he in
order. But as 1t IL, our British
cousins will have to swallow their
medicine without a grimace, and
hope for better luck at the next
election.

extravagantly Indignant on account
Of Spokane Falls effort to secure the
agricultural college. a few OF these
have gone out of their way to say
harsh things against this city, which
their own readers know to be wholly
untrue. Those papers can not inJurc
Spokane Falls without injuring tho
towns In which they are printed.
So far as the college Is concerned,
Spokane Falls can exist without 1t,
but there are several thousand peo-
pie who honestly believe this is the
most desirable location for that insti-
tuition, and they unqucstionably
have the right to express their opin-
ion, especially since they have care
filly avoided disparaging the I'D
vantages of any other competitor for
the prize. Most of the papers have
treated Spokane Falls with dignity
and fairness In this contest, but a
few have exhibited spirit of anger,
and have adopted vitupcration and
misrepresentation In place OF argu-
ment In all such instances paper
weakens Its own cause and strength
ems the opposition.

a JUST DEcLAR.4 TIoM.

The REVIEW can not be swerved
from its just declaration that Harry
Baer should he given n fair and i'm
partial trial, and convicted or nc
quilted, according TO the testimony
developed at the trial. 1t rests as
sured of the support of the law-lov-
ing element OF this great state, whose
greatness and whose prosperity can
only be guaranteed by "a firm nd
herence to the principles of justice
and a free and unmuzzled press. II
co,ninends the editorial utterauce
for whose publication the editor of
this paper was placed under arrest,
to the careful and analytical consid-
Grafton OF every fair-minded reader.
II the expression of such sen ailments
OF justice be construed to be con-
tempt Of court, then the press Gun
no longer have high mission and
IL mightas well pass out OF existence,
because 1t could no longer prove use
full to tho people.
The utteranccs Of that editorial
are founded upon the loftiest princi-
pies OF lustiSt, anu tnc iiihh Who uIs-
scnts from them Is no friend of So
ciety or the law. Let Harry Bear
be given fair and impartial trial, 1t
declares. aud let him lie convicted
or acquitted solely upon the evil
dencc brought out ut the trial.
Strange conception Of the law that
leads two attorneys to set up the
dan gcrous plcn that the expression
Of such sentiments are punishable
by the courts OF the state.
The REVIEW has no fear of the
future. Its cause rests upon the
eternal principles OF justice and n
free press, principles that will never
Perish from the earth 80 long us
righteous judges sit upon the bench,
and . single fng Of the land Of the
free is left To wave its beautiful folds
above the state Of Washington, and
that name remains 20 remind Ameri-
cans that upon them rests the solemn
oblIgntIon OF perpetuatlng and
guard ing the principles established
by the greatest, the noblest and the
unrest of all Americans.

WILSON AND PO WEIR.

Senator Power, OF Montana, COM
mitted grievous error when he
went into the house Of representa-
tives Monday and publicly assailed
Representative Wilson, of this state,
for his vote on the silver bill. II
this behavior is kept up long Mon
tana will be getting q hard name,
and all oh account of her senators.
Tho fight that ultimately resulted In
the seating OF Senator Power has
added little glory to the new state,
and II the Mon tann senator proposes
to continue his bulldozing propensi-
ties there Will be some falr-minded d
people who will almost wish that a
democratic senator had won his seat,
bad Ms that would be.
The REVIEW does not approve the
silver bill that Representative VII
son voted for. Perhaps that meas
ure did not meet the full wishes Of
Mr.. Wilson. But that Is neither
here nor there. Every member is
entitled TO his opinion, and u sena-
tor makes big error when he at
teInpts to bullyrag representative
who has exercised his constitutional
privilege and duty of voting as he
sees mt.
But we must dissent from the ex-
PLANTATION set up by Representative
Wilson and other Western members,
that they voted for the bill because
they knew the senate would amend
IL, and send 1t back to the house,
when perhaps compromise could
be patched up. While member
may properly vote for a bill that
falls to meet his views in every re-
spect, provided he thinks the general
effect OF the bill would be beneficial,
IL Is dangerous policy to vote for
measure with the expectation that
the other house will do Its duty and
KILT. That attitude is responsible
for much of the vicious legislation
upon our statute books.
Coming back TO the original prop
osltion, II seems proper to express
the belief that whatever victories
the friends of silver may achieve,
they will accomplish little by the
bulldozlng methods adopted by SEN
ator Power, OF Montana.

THE BAER CASE.

On the 10th day Of last January
Harry Baer killed one McCrossln,
a miserable, worthless creature with
out friends. He admits this much.
Contrary to his expectations, the
very fact that his victim was friend
lcss and helpless aroused the deepest
indignation in the breast Of every
man who Ibid claim to a sentiment
Of fair play. For a few days
after the commission of the
crime, matters went quite satisfac-
torily for Baer At the coroner's
inquest the testimony all went
to show that, while Baer had killed
McCrossin, the latter was II bad
man, and so the jury returned the
surprising verdict that Baer was
perfectly Justified in what he did.
The dead was placed on trial, con-
vlcted of being desperate man, and
the slayer was dismissed with n
benedictlon. All these proceedings
were correctly and impartially re-
ported by the REVIEW without
comment.
On Tuesday, January IA, some
startling developments were brought
to light by the REVIEW.
This showing being made, Baer,
recognizing the seriousness of his
casc, provided himself with a job
lot of lawyers, and at the prclimi-
nary trial waived examination.
In the meantime the matter has
been allowed to rest until the pres
eut, W hen the nearness of the trial
made 1t proper for the REVIEW to
venture the hope that Baer would
be accorded fair and impartial
trial, and convicted or released, ac-
cording to the character of the testi-
mony brought out at the trial. If
that ~ contempt of court, then we
plead guilty of the oflense.
The REVIEW throughout has been
controlled solely by II sense OF duty.
Its editor has never met the de-
fendi,nt, and would not know him
II lie should meet him upon the
street. But he does know that Baer
kept vile resort that was reproach
tn the good name of this city, and
that while keeping that place he
killed IL friendless, miserable wretch,
while the latter was rctreuting into
the public street,

larity to that around Spokane Falls.

In sinking an urtesian well hero
1t would be well to take advantage
OF the failure Of Banker Ladd at
East Portland, Or, who tried to
find flowing water by sinking In
ground that had been made by
glacial action. Hundreds of feet
below the surface the drills struck
trees, and pieces of bark were
brought up from surprising depth.
Ages ago, II appears, n mighty
glacier worked Its way into the
deep valley at the confluence Of the
Columbia and Willamette rivers,
and II was through the debris ground
In thcre by glacial action that an at

Tho experiment of boring In this
city for arteslan water would be
watched with deep interest, and its
success would add still another at
traction to the city. The REVIEW
hopes the trial will be made, and
that 1t will result successfully.

grower receives from tho protective
tariff are rcaped from tho tariff up
on wool. In the Boston proposition
he Is offered free trade for his own
product, and protection for all he
buys In the markets Of the world.
NO amount of sophistry could In
duce the wool growers Of the West
to assent to this one-sided PROPOSE
tion, and no party whip can lead
them to change their mind In the
future.
This plea for free wool comes from
New England. 1t came from there
IN the last presidential campaign,
from the section that has been built
up by the protective tariff. Where
tho Weat has had one dollar Of d.
rect protection New England has
had u thousand. lis thevery acme
OF cheek for the wool consumers OF
New England to come before

bound to stand by the principle OF
protection In no far as 1t may help
to build up tho industries Of the
West. But this Is not the extremity
OF their nerve. They are not asking
for free trnde In the manufactured
product. They want free trade, SO
that they may import Australian
and South American wool, but they
want the tariff retained upon every
thing they have for sale.
In tho name OF fairness and Justice
tho REVIEW enters a protest against
the selfish demands of the New
England manufacturers. 1t IL well
for the wool-srowers of the Pacific
Northwest that the Mills bill was

could prevent the concession Of this

PASSING FANCIES.

THE Pasco correspondent Oft REVIEW
makes pertinent observation in con-
necton with a criticism OF the mail ser
vice. 1t deems IL a sad commentary on
ihe intelligence OF the employees of the
postal department that an official re.
quest has been sent out from the national
capital to tho people, urging them to
write on envelopes addressed to persons
in this state the words, State OF Wash.
ington," in order to avoid blundcrs, on
the part of incompetent postal officials
in sending such letters to Washington
City, District OF Columbia. The state Of
Washington is far greater than the city
OF Washington. and the Pasco writer Is
correct in his assumption that any ON
ploye OF the postal department, who can
no, distinguish the difference between
"Pasco, Washington" and Washing
ton, b. O., is uniit to occupy an official
position.

THE Co,ur d'Alcnc Miner. printed at
Wallace, Idaho, by the Dunn brothers
G. l.. and A. J.D and W. II. Fortier, has
made its appearance. 1t Is n neat paper
typogra phically. for all the proprietors
are practical printers who love the high
art to which they have conseorated their
lives. 1t Is ably edited, for the proprie-
tors arc trained newspaper men who
have been studying tue mining camps
of the Co,ur u Alenes for several years,
and know tho grounds and the people.
1t is free from prejudice. for the gentle
men controlling 1t would scorn to be in
nuenocd by personal interests. Ii. brief.
the Miner Is just such newspaper as
the people of Wallace and those of the
mining region thereabout require. 1t Is
u good paper also for Spokane Falls. and
should find its way into every business
house in this city. In their Introductory
the editors say;
"Thcre is room in Wallace aud Sho.
shone county for good local newspaper
and the Cmur d. Alene Miner proposes
to ill the place. Extended salutatories
are not generally read. The fewer the
promises in the beginning the better, for
the reader makes his estimate OF tho
value of paper not from these, but
from the periodical issues. The Miner
Is willing that It's merits be determined
in the latter way. II will be the earnest
endeuyor of the publishers to collect and
print all the news of local interest; to
conduct clean journal, fit to be read in
any home; and TO aid in the develop
ment of this wonderful mining region
In the political field the Miner occupies
no doubtful position. II IL a republican
paper. The outlook for the C0ur d. Al.
