sALIsBURY,s BLUFF.

The two leading English newspapers,
the Times and Stand ard, both published
in London and right under the eyes of
Lord SALISBURY. have recently assumed
belligerent attitude toward the United
States, and talk as if war with this
country were the most probable thing in
the near future. 1t is limited in late
dispatches from London that Lord SAIL
IsBURY is himself the author of these
warlike editorials, having chosen this
plan to divert British attention from
the crumbling condition of his own
ministry.
The people of this country are not
conscious of having given England any
provocation for war. On the contrary,
they imagine that they have been re-
markedly patient and forbearing. con-
sidering the numerous outrages the
British have inflicted upon US recently.
The truth is, the United States is not in
a mood for war. We have so many
things of domestic Importance on hand,
we prefer not to be bothered with in
ternati0nal complications. YetIt would
be better for England if Lord SAILS
BURY did not miSconstrue our forbear-
ing disposition into one of Sub
mission. For, while we are not
aching for fight, we are not
going to put ourselves out to
avoid one. We care nothing for Lon
don newspaper gossip and swagger. so
long as it is not authorized by the Brit
ish government. But, if it be true, as
intimated, that Lord SALISBURY is re-
sponsible for these newspaper utter
ances, then the matter must be either
shut up or fought out. John Bull can't
play the braggart over Brother Jona-
than. Simply as reminder to SAILS
BURY that we know our business, we
will politely inform him that in less
that thirty days Minnesota can plant
10000 well-drilled soldiers across the
Canada border. Minnesota is a small
state, too, in comparison with some Of
the American states that border on the
Canada line,

THE INDEPENDENTS

An example of one-eyed wisdom is
furnished by the st. Louis Gl0be-Demo-
crat, the leading Republican paper of
the Southwest. when it insists that the
alliance independent movement is an
excellent thing for Democratic states,
but most abOminable affair when it is
inaugurated in the Republican states.
If the ST. Louis paper would open both
eyes to the situation, it would observe
that the alliance leaders are not taking
the political status of any particular
states into consideration. They are
simply devising the ways and means to
rid the farmers Of monopoly rule. re-
CARELESS of what party may be hurt by
the movement. In Georgia and in the
Carolinas the Democrats will be the suf-
ferers. while in Minnesota and South
Dakota the Republicans will catch it in
the neck. From the farmers stand
point this is all right. though it may not
please the hide-bound organs.
If the leaders of the old political par
ties were to shape the alliance move
ment to suit the dominant party in each
locality, the grangerS would soon have
to take to their holes. But as it is, the
old party leaders will have to look out
for themselves while the farmers are
looking out for themselves. What is
sauce for the Democratic goose in this
instance must be sauce for the Republi-
can gander. Geographical lines and old
political divisions seem to cut very
little figure in the new movement.

WILL HAVE LITTLE EFFECT.
Strikers Enjoined From Intimi-
dating Workingmen.

DETROIT, June 1S.-The firm of Vinton
& Co. filed a bill Of complaint against
members of the strike committee in
the cilcuit court this morning. They
ask that the court issue an injunction
restraining the strike committee from
attempting to get any nOn-unlOn men to
leave their employ, OF to harrass or
intimidate them, and from cOngregating
with other strikers OF urging strikers to
cOngregate in the vicinity of their
shop, or any place where they may
have work in progress, and from
in any way attempting to Interfere
with the business or employees of the
firm. Judge Hosmer granted the in
junction. There is considerable differ
ence of opinion as to what effect it
can or will have. The unions are not
incorporated and the strike commit
tee is not considered to be legal repre-
sentative of the various unions. The
object of the injunction is to reach
the strikers through their representa-
tiveS, but as the committee are
not legally their representatives
it is considered doubtful if the in
junction will have any effect. Judge
Hosmer indorsed a proviso on the
injunction providing that the de-
PENDANTS should not be restrained
from peaceable argument to in
du0e any non-union men from
uniting with the strikers to demand the
scale adopted. The injunction will,
therefore, simply restrain the committee
from any violent or Illegal methods,
such as fighting or intimidation, in at
tanning their ends.

DEMOCRATS FOR REFORM.

There are honest and fairly intelli-
gent people who think the Republican
managers always want straight work at
the ballot box, and the Democrats as
uniformly would have opportunities
left for devious ways. They are misled
by their party prejudices. 1t is not ex-
pected they can be persuaded that DEM
ocrats are naturally quite as honest, but
the fact is easily seen that the Demo-
Gratis are more generally in the legis-
latures and party platforms insisting
upon the adoption of the improved
methods of voting that are conceded to
battle much of the corrupting influence
that degrades the franchise. They may
assume that this is due to the inability
of the Democrats to cope with the Re-
publicans in adeptness iii the use of
money, or the ability to obtain it. They
do not have the obese beneficiaries of
protective legislation to fill the party
hats. Be the reason what it may,
the Democrats are demanding the adop-
ton of the most effective measures yet
devised for making the ballot truthful
tons of the two parties in Maine drew
the line squarely. The Democrats took
clear and emphatic position in favor of
the secret Official ballot, and in the
legislature they supported all the meas
ures that embodied it, and which the
Republican majority defeated. In the
Republican state convention there was
an effort to commit the party to the re-
form. An address urging it was pre-
scented from Republican club, and
this declaration was before the cOnven-
ton and voted down by large major
'ty:
1.-THE Republicans of Maine indorse
Che secret system Of voting with official
ballots. 1t is no longer an experiment
in American states, but an established
success. 1t reduces the expense of
elections to minimum, and is the
simplest and most effective prevention
of bribery, intimidation, and other
forms of corruption at the polls yet in
stituted."
A vague and meaningless declaration
was made in favor of free ballot and
fair count" but the specific measure to
effect honesty in the ballot was rejected
This was no bubble about phraseology.
The most notorious traffickers in votes
would indorse the resolution of the con.
vention, as it would put no barriers il
the way of their success. This action oil
the Maine Republicans is the more sig
nificaut from the fact that recent publ
cations have presented most astound-
ing system of vote traffic in vogue in
that state. In hardly any state have
there been such charges of vote buying
and bribery, especially in the district
represented by Speaker REED. Any
professions he may make in favor Of
purity and honesty in elections will be
Interpreted in the light of the action Of
the convention at his home, which
singled him out for special indorse
ment.

1t is said that from the summit of
Mount Blanc, one can see TyrOl, por-
lions of France, Germany and Austria,

The Australian wine, which was ex-'

A flock of bees swarmed from hive

BENJAMIN BACKS OUT.

President HARRISON is wise man if
he knows when he has enough. And if
there be truth in the report that came
from Washington lastnight that he told
all intimate friend yesterday he would
not be candidate for denomination, he
is wiser man than most people have
given him credit for. This will be
pleasant news to the ambitious Repub
lican politicians who have been seeking
to undermine him, and will likely bring
about more harmonious relations be-
tween the president and his party lead
ers. 1t is noteworthy, however, that
this declaration was brought out during
an informal discussion of the silver bill,
from which it is just to infer that he
proposes to veto the free coinage bill, if
it passes, and then seek refuge from the
storm he will evoke by declining to be
a candidate again. The abuse heaped
upon him by Republican senators with
in the last few days has doubtless had
something to do with his determination
to Withdraw from the field.

KIMBALL WILL GO FREE.
A Court Martial in His Case Is
Unnecessary.

Tucson, June 1S.-At the court ma
tial trial of Maj. Kimball, chief QUA.
termaster department of Arizona, to-
day, Col. George III. Weeks, chief quar-
termaster department of Texas, a MEM
Der of the court, testified that it was
customary for, and the duty of, the
fees for the discussing officers
of his station, and in effect, that the
course followed by Maj. Kimball in the
execution OF the leases was identical
with that pursued by him. Maj.
Kimball then submitted letters from
Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
of San Francisco, and Brig. Gen.
Grierson, of Los Angeles, to the adju-
tant general of the army at Washing
ton. Gen. GrierSon states that, in his
Judgment, Maj. Kimball has not been
guilty OF any negligence justifying his
trial by court martial, and he requests
that the order for his trial be suspended,
and that the charges against Maj.
Kimball be investigated by some
disinterested officer. Gen. Miles in
viteS the attention of the adjutant
general papers recently forwarded to
Washington, showing the details of the
renting of offices at Tucson. Gen. Miles
Maj. Kimball's complaint and calls
his attention to the fact that
Maj. Kimball was ordered to Arizona at
time when the terrible Indian war was
in progress, and discharged bis duties
with marked ability and strict fidelity.
He recommends that if the explanation
is satisfactory, the secretary of war di-
rect that further action in Maj. KIM
balls case be suspended.

NO MORE SURPLUS.

Representative HENDERSON, of Iowa,
is good Republican, and wants to get
the figures down as small as possible,
but he foots up the pension apprOpria-
tons for the coming fiscal year at &c.,
1924, 735. He computes the call under
the new law at S35, 100000. when it is
more likely to reach S60,000,O00. Nor
does he take account of the great num-
Der of private pension bills which now
have no obstruction at the White house.
A total of $500, 100000 for the pension
business of the year will be not far
from the real total. This will be more
than double that of last year, ana make
the S26,OOO.oOo estimates after the war
look small. There have been fourteen
regular appropriation bills reported to
the house, and the chairman of the
committee says they foot up S906, ZOO, 900.
Other bills Endorsed by the party will
take 500, 600, 900, making total of $780,
100000 or. so more than the estimated
revenue. That trouble some surplus
will be disposed of.

THE ORDER OF STATES.

1t is not believed that the census will
change the rank of the four largest
states from that held in the count of
$780, New York has held the first place
steadily for seventy years. In the first
census, in 1890, it was the fifth state.
Virginia was then the first, but it lost it
in 1910, and has been passed by some
other state at nearly every decade since.
Pennsylvania was the second state
until 1910, when it was the third. In
1880 it came to the second again, and
has remained there since. Ohio will re-
main the third in the list, as it has since
1910. Illinois has been the fourth for
hirty years and will hold its place.
Missouri is conceded to be the fifth, as
it was ten years ago, but beyond that
there is question. Texas will be likely
to come close to Missouri. Nevada will
be crowded down by the four new states
and lead the procession in the rear.
Minnesota will pass several older states,
