JOHN SHERMAN AND THE TARIFF.

John Sherman says he expects that ex-
perience will demonstrate the wisdom of
the Mckinley tariff, but if not in the
light of experience it can be modified. 1t
is sound policy to give it fair trial as an
effort to establish upon firm foundation
the production Of every article essential to
American life and independence. In
recently published letter Mr.. Sherman
says:
Whenever it Ia appsre Mt that new industry
can be established, a. Is the case now with the
manufacture OF tin plate, 1t is good policy TO
give the industry liberal degree Of protection,
with the certain assurance that, If we have the
raw material On equal conditions we can after
. time compete with the imported article.
The policy of q nation upon economic ques-
tons should be fixed and stable. The Mckinley
law as now framed, though 1t may be open to
criticism as 70 details, is a strictly protective
measure, fair and just as applied to all indus
tries, with ample provision TO secure reciprocity
in the exchange OF domestic productions for
articles we cannot produce. It ought to be
thoroughly tested by the experience of several
years 1t 10 not good policy TO disturb IL or
keep the public mind in susp euse abouEit

THE MONTE cRrsTo MINES.

The PosT-INTELLIGEycER has been slow
TO accept the stories of mineral discoveries
in the Cascade mountains current during
the past ten months. We have feared that
this new district, like many another. was
o fiction rather than q reality. We have
sought TO avoid a course that might lure
the public into ll-considered specu-
lation; and have therefore waited for such
full and thorough exploration and such
development as would give something like
assurance of the real character Of the dis
trict.
For over q year work has been go
ing on in moderate way until now each
of the several mineral veins has been fairly
prospected. With epurpose of seeing just
what had been found, the editor of this
paper went two weeks ago into the Monte
Cristo district and spent some days there.
He gave no credence to hearsay testimony,
accepted no assurances from interested
parties, but went himself to all the i'm
portant localities. His letter published in
this issue is therefore the report of disin-
terested personal inspection. While not
presented as the findings of an expert or as
scientific treatise it has such value as be-
longs to the report of writer who has
visited every mining camp Of Importance
on the Pacific coast and who has seen
mines enough at least to fairly judge q
good one from bad one.
There seems no doubt that the dis
coveries in Snohomish county are very
important; that there actually exists a
mineral region equal in extent and value
70 any other ever discovered on the Pacific
coast. OF course the extent and value Of
the ore beds are yet to be accurately de-
termined, but that there is enough ore ''in
sight" to warrant mining operations upon
a large plan is fact beyond doubt or
question.
1t would be impossible to everestimate
the importance of these discoveries to the
state of Washington. They will make
here a large mining industry like that
which developed San Francisco and Dem
yer from villages into large cities. They
will add vastly to our industrial popula-
ton and give to the state special character
as producer, not only of iron, coal, tim
Der and the products of agriculture, but of
money itself.
How long it will take to put in motion
the energies that lie dormant in the Cas-
cade mountains it is, of course, not posi-
bic to say, but it should not be
great while. The first necessity is
railroad, and that can be built very
easily and In q single season. Smelling
works and the like will quickly follow;
and in two years at the utmost the noun
tain gorges Of the Cascades ought to be
and will be pouring forth streams of
wealth. The benefit will not be transient
one. We have not here a pocket" that
can be worked out in few weeks or
months, but vast mountains Of ore suffi-
cient to feed q score of reducing mills for
an indefinite period. There is not, in our
judgment, the slightest doubt that from
this time forth mining on large scale is
to be one Of the regular and reliable pro-
ductive industries of Western Washington.

BENNINGTON AND sTHE VERMONT
CENTENNIAL.

Today battle monument will be dedi-
Gated with elaborate civic and military
ceremonies at Bennington, VT. The act
of congress for the admission of Vermont
TO the Union was passed February Is, 1871,
and Vermont became part of the United
States March 4 following, so that this is
the centennial year of her statehood. an
event which win be alsafelebrated at Ben
nington today.
The cornerstone of the battle monu-
ment was laid with imposing Masonic GER
emonies in 1887. The yeomanry who
fought the battle August IS, LIT, were
contributed by New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts and Vermont, and the funds,
100000, for the erection of the monument
800 feet high, were provided by appropria-
tons voted by the legislature of these
states, by congress and private subscrip-
tions. Acton used to jeer at Concord,
claiming with justice that while Concord
furnished the field Acton furnished the
mon, and in this instance it is true that
while New York furnished the field New
England furnished ali the men.
The first battle of Bennington was the
destruction by 1900 farmers of foraging
party of some 500 British troops, Hes
slams, tories, Canadians and Indians,
ander Colonel Baum, entrenched upon a
hill that overlooks the Wallomsac river.
near the crossing of the Cambridge, n. Y.
road. The second fight of the day was
the repulse and final rout of the supports
of Colonel Baum under Colonel Beiman,
who arrived too late to save Baum and vet
carly enough at one time to seriously
threaten the victors of the first fight with
defeat. The importance of this victory
was out of all proportion to the numbers
engaged. Professor Greasy in his eff
teen Battles of the World" speaking of
Saratoga, says: "Nor can any event be
said to have exercised more important In
fluence on the future of mankind than the
complete defeat of Burgoyne's expedition
in i777."
Bennington was the triumphant prelude
that made Freeman's Farm and Saratoga
possible. Up 10 the hour of Bennington
Burgoyne had been completely successful.
He had easily driven ST. Clair out of Fort
Tioonderosa; had destroyed his rear guard
at Hubbardton, and he needed nothing but
supplies to have pushed his way victori-
ously down to Albany. where he would
have been in easy communication with
Howe and Clinton at New York city. To
seize supplies Burgoyne's foraging party
went to Bennington. and its destruction
was to him paralytie shock, for il re-
vealed 20 his hungry officers and men the
startling fact that the sinews Of war. food
and transportation, would have 70 be

Exposition at Raleigh this Fall.
RALEIGH, May 2s.-The state conven-
tion of northern settlers assembled in the
state capitol yesterday. Hon. George q.
French was chosen president. and Prot. !.
X. Chamberlain secretary.
Resolutions were adopted for a mass
meeting of northern settlers in the south
on October s, at Raleigh. A committee
was appointed to invite President Harri-
son and cabinet to visit the Southern ex-
position, and urged it in the name of
northern men, residents in the south. A
committee was appointed to cooperate
in the proposed fraternal meeting of the
blue and gray at the Southern ex position.
Resolutions were passed declaring that
at no period have prospects of material
development of any section been SO bright
as now in the south, and that native peo-
pie are anxious to lend a helping hand to
industrious settlers among them.

what the Southern Presbyterian
Ministers are Doing There.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 2s.-The case
Of Z. d. Robinson, from Knoxville, has
been finally settled by the Presbyterian
assembly today declining to go into it.
Robinson was regarded as eccentric and
his case has been before three assemblies.
Last year he was restored to the COM
munion Of the church from which he had
been excluded by former judgments. This
year another overture from Mecklenburg
presbytery claimed that the action of the
last assembly was unconstitutional, and
wanted the case reopened, but the assem-
bly, declined to do it.
A. W. Filter, from the committee on
foreign correspondence, reported ad.
versely on sending thirty delegates to
the Toronto, Canada, grand conference
this summer.
1t was decided that when the church
furnishes a preacher with manse, the
rent of that manse was to be deducted
from his salary.
In answer to an overture from the
West Hanover preshytery on church doc.
trine on temperance. it was replied that
"All our members be requested to alb.
stain"
The theological seminary committee
through Secretary ]. Dixon, reported
progress on every side.
The assembly took up the report o
the committee on bills and overtures rel.
ative to some proposed changes in the
lawsand regulations concerning licensurt
and ordination of preachers. The repor,
brought on long and heated discussion
pro and con and no action has beer
taken on it. Many leading men are op
posed to it because its object is to lowe
the literary requirements Of ministers o

Feared-Tales Jurors Not Mem
toned.
NEW ORLEANS, May 28.-The grand
jury has found an indictment against Nc
Crystal and Cooney, two of O'Malley's
assistants for attempting to hribe juror.
1t is not in pleasant frame of mind,
however, for after investigating the bri-
berry for over II week, it has made de-
cision that there is no law to punish the
offenders. The bribery act concerning
the matter has no penal clause.
In the disgust which came over the
body, it could not decide on special re-
port. The defence in the jury bribery
cases is also making strong attempt to
prove defect in the law. Ali the parties
approached by the indicted parties are
tales jurors, and the act only mentions
grand and petty jurors. That is the
principal ground of the demurrer argued
and Judge Mari promised to give a de-
cision soon. Some strong steps may be
taken before the decision is cut.

into that place yesterday and strikers
there have been gathering in large NUM-

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, May 2S.-
Waveland is in ferment. A time of
greater excitement was never known
there. Yesterday morning committee
of two of the strikers called upon Pay
master Parkhurst and informed him that
he must leave town at once. He was es-
cOrted to the suburbs by the committee
and the last seen of him he was wearily
plodding along the road towards La
doga. Soon after, the master mechanic
of the Midland and three comrades were
told that they had five minutes in which
to leave and were likewise escorted to
the edge Of town by large crowd of
strikers. They started counting ties
down the vandalia road. Sheriff Nc
Closkey is conierring with the strikers.
