Bears and Cougars at sumas.
Nooksack Renorter

Last Thursday the children of this school dis
trict were very much excited over the discovery
OF q full-grown bear on the bridge over the SUI
mas, just west OF the school. With one accord
the kids headed for the top of the hill, and after
taking an account of the stock OF knives and
rocks each juvenile was loaded with, started fol-
his bearship, who had in the meantime taken to
the bank of the creek, from where he surveyed the
approaching youngsters. One yolley from the
crowd put the bear to flight through the woods

able distance towards the mountains, but finally
lost On Friday large cougar was discovered
creeping along the fence at John Simpson
place, Just at the west end of town, near the Ad

one OF the boys and the cougar frightened
into the bush. Just as the animal sprane
into the woods, 1t almost leaped on two
deer which were grazing not two hundred
yards from the church. G. N. Barger happened
along with a rife and secured ono shot at the

their tracks was very plain. Statements have
been coming In from all directions regarding
the amount OF game in the woods this spring.

The attempt of Tacoma committee, APP
pointed to investigate charges against
certain city officials, to exclude reporters
for the press from the sessions was an
offense against propriety and an outrage
not more upon the newspaper men imme-
diately involved than upon the general
public, of which these gentlemen were the
representatives. The persons against
whom the charges were made were public
officials, they were accused of misuse Of
public property, and the investigating
committee is composed of those who
in a very direct manner represent the
public, so that if there ever was a case
in which the public was entitled to con-
sideration this was one. The committee
acknowledged this tacitly by their adj
journment in order to prevent the pres
ence of those whom they could not ex-
clude--a miserable attempt to take refuge
in a technicality of parliamentary pro-
ceedure.
The rights of the press in all such cases
are very plain and are fully recognized by
the great majority of those in positions of
responsibility and authority. The press
represents the great body of the people,
and, in view of this, it should
be protected in the exercise of the author
ity tacitly delegated to it. Comparatively
few people care to exercise their rights to
be present on such occasions; but they de-
pend on having newspaper narrative of
the proceedings at their disposal should
they desire it. In recognition of this fact
reporters are ordinarily and very properly
given the preference in cases in which the
number of admissions is necessarily
limited.
1t may be urged that public morals are
not elevated by giving wider publicity to
many of these inquiries; but that is mat
ter which no one short of the entire body
polite has right to decide. The fact that a
reporter wishes to obtain an account of the
proceedings is evidence that a consider
able number of persons insist on the exer-
else of their rights as delegated, and no
one mas right to interfere. If newspa-
per offends its constituency by the char
acter of its narrative, the way of furnishing
the offender is at hand-they can refuse to
read the paper longer. To make proceed
ings of this kind private would be to take
one of the great deterrents from wrong
doing-that of publicity--from the Grimm
ally inclined; and it opens the way for
countless abuses in and connected with
the trials themselves.
This theory of the powers and rights of
the public is the only one which is in ac-
cordance with the spirit of American lib
crty. Star chamber proceedings have not
been altogether unknown in this country.
but they are an exotic which soon sue
cumbs to the bracing atmosphere of free
institutions.
The reporter who stood up for his rights
at the Tacoma investigation deserves the
thanks of his brethren of the newspaner
fraternity, and of the public in whose
interests he was acting for the spirited
way in which he assumed the defensive
and prevented the enemy from effecting a
lodgment in the way of a precedent which
might be availed of in future engagements.

We reprint this morning from last
Thursdays paper an article on the immi-
grafton question which is valuable for the
double reason that it furnishes new
information and an original suggestion.
1t is further notable as the product of q
foreigner who is what he claims to be-a
workingman. 1t will, we imagine, be
news even to many who have studied the
question discussed by Mr.. Spring
that the usurious ticket-seller plays
SO important part in bringing
to America multitudes who are
unable to pay their own way and
who have no qualification for citizenship;
and if it be true that he is the principal
agent in this mischief, the problem of
suppression is very much more simple than
many have feared. The suggestion Of q
national congress of trades, made by Mr..
Spring, is worth consideration; but it may
reasonably be doubted if such congress
would secure the best men. Trades Unions
like other popular bodies more frequently
send as delegates to general bodies the
men who talk loudest and most glibly
rather than those who think deepest and
most wisely.

An Italian who has been employed ct Dingle's
railroad camp, located about two miles above
this place, met with quite q serious accident
which came near resulting In death last Sunday
morning. Although not conversant with the
facts 1t is stated that Rudinis subject was max.

Monday and was resting easy when he left.
The medical attendance and expense of keep
ing this Italian at the hospital will have to be
paid by the county. The injuries received were
caused while he was violating the laws of our
state. Although q foreigner, and a dsgo az

timony and that Of his preferred and most
favored associates, that Mr.. Russell B.
Harrison is habitually gambler in the
highest circles of American society with
which he associates; that he is in the habit
of carrying with him faro outfit, and
in the aristocratic homes where he is an
honored guest is in the habit of giving his
hosts and fellow-guests ''iayout" for
stakes of $50 and upward.
To be sure, Mr.. Harrison has no as
surance that he will soon or ever succeed
his father as President, and therefore the
parallel is not as complete and shocking
as it would be if such were the case. but 1t
is the nearest that difference of institu-
tions will permit But in the case sup
posed, although young Mr.. Harrison is
but shadow of the obligation for good
conduct and example that attaches to the
Prince of Wales, who can doubt that not
only would he be disgraced and de-
nounced, but also his conduct would dis
credit and lessen the popularity of his
father?
That in the face of such revelations the
young mans entrance to the Supreme
Court room of the United States should be
greeted with cheers from the official class
and from friends of the administration, is
utterly inconceivable, but such an event
would most certainly destroy the prestige
and influence of the strongest administra-
ton this country has ever known. Even
the concession which Minister Schenck
made to the social habits of the English
aristocracy, by teaching them to play the
American game of poker for amusement,
proved very shirt of Nessus to that
statesman throughout his after life.
An American parallel to the scene in the
courtroom, with the wife of Chief Justice
Fuller enacting the role of Lady Coleridge,
and the best society Of Washington City
interrupting the proceedings with ringing
cheers or boisterous laughter, is not sup
possible. It is inconceivable. If tolerated
by the court, that court would not be
tolerated by the American people.
The cynically inclined will perhaps
claim that if such scandalous courses had
been pursued in high American society
every means and influence would be ex-
erted to suppress revelation of the fact.
That may be true. If SO, it is tribute to
the recognized soundness of American
public opinion. And regarding the effect
upon society, at home and abroad, it may
fairly be questioned whether suppression
were not more commendable than ex-
posure.
1t will not do, however, to felicitate
ourselves too highly on this comparison.
This matter admits of another, darker
and qualifying view. There be those in
this country who pride themselves on
tone and exclusiveness, who viii not share
in enjoyment of this pro-American healthy
and fiattering comparison. These Anglo
maniacs will, on the contrary, be more in
clined to introduce (f it has not already
happened) into their set, and to ape, the
practices which this scandalous suit has
revealed as prevailing in the court circles
of England. But these are not controlling
or influential with the great mass of Amer
can good society, which is sound to the
core in regard to such matters.
