OPPOSED TO SECRECY.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press advances pro-
no0nced and apparently sensible views in
opposition 10 the practice, in time of peace.
OF maintaining secrecy as 10 international
negotiations in which our country NAV
be engaged. and also as 20 the FREQUENT
secret sessions of the United States Senate.
In this connection il forcibly remarks that
the people would not for moment toler
ate secret sessions of the House of Repre-
sentatives for the adoption of appronria-
ton bills or 10 formulate schemes of
taxation, and Yet in secret the treaty
making powers might involve US in a war
which would cost Infinitely more than any
probable excuses or exJravagances in an
propriStions or taxation.
The point Is that except in clear cases of
absolute necessity government of the
people" should inform the people. and in
form them promptly and fully. what II is
about. In time Of war. Of course. secrecy
is essential, The people cannot be in
formed of the plans and purposes ofthe gov
eminent without also informing the enemy
or taking q risk Of Doing so. But no such
plea applies 70 the relations between the
people and their government in time OF
peace. This IS especially true as to any
measures or complications that may lead
30 war.
For in this country the support Of public
opinion IS as essential to the successful
prosecution Of war IS ii is to the eonsam-
nation oil any other line Of governmental

BY public opinion would be waged with
far greater certainty Of success, and at far
less cost in blood and treasure. than one
which might lack such support At all
events the people have right to forecast
the probability and the necessity OF war,
and if it must come 10 be prepared for ii.
In this day and generation, and when
we are at peace with ali the world except
a few emaciated redskins, there are few
conceivable cases in which it were not bet
ter to inform the people and the press on
all nooted questions of national policy,
that public opinion may be intelligently
formed and fully and freely expressed. In
this country armies, navics, heavy ord
nance and heaps of gold are of small ac-
count except backed by informed and ap-
proving public opinion With this TO start
on all else viii be provided.
Apropos 10 the owlish secrecy of the Sem
ate's executive sessions the New York
Tribune notes that recently several hours
were thus passed in gravely discussing
motion to make public the text Of treaty
with Nicaragua, negotiated under the Ar
thur administration. and on a close vote
the injunction of secrecy was removed.
The righteousness of the thing viii be ap-
parent when it is known that the Tribune
published the full text of this awfully
secret document in its columns On the
18th of December, 1854, more than six
years ago.

SQUIRE WILL BE ELECTED.

The Senatorial situation has not changed
since yesterday Between now and the
time of election will be six days, and it is
not likely that anything viii come up dur
ing that time that will develop any posi-
tive demonstration of the strength Of the
candidates. However. the success of Sem
ator Squire is as nearly assured as any
thing can be that depends on future
human action. The Senator has personal
assurances favorable to his election from
more than enough members of the Legis-
lature 10 bring about that result
The supporters of Judge Calkins have
given up hope of the election of their can
didate. and their plan now is to defeat
Squire. The more frank among their num-
Der freely and openly boast that they viii at
least prevent Squire's election. This is be-
lieved at Olympia by those who have the
very broadest knowledge of the situation
10 be impossible. It would indeed be a
most extraordinary proceeding if disap-
pointed faction should be able, through
spite, TO effect the defeat of man whose
election is demanded not more by the
logic of the situation than by the almost
unanimous wish of the people of the state.
The opposition to Senator Squire are
making what is known in politics as
dirty fight" Having exhausted all the
ordinary and many very extraordinary
campaign expedients, they have now re-
sorted TO the nastiest sort of mud-throw-
ing. insinuation and open falsehood are
now the favorite methods of assault. For
example: When Senator Squire went TO
Seattle on Sunday it was charged that he
was not actually absent from Olympia,
but that he was suffering from the effects
of drunken debauch and that his mama
gers were artfully keeping him out of
sight. They even went so far as to declare
that the interview with the senator re-
ported in Mondays PosT-INTELIIGExcER
was fabrication designed to conceal the
fact that he was drunk and in hiding.
Even when this gross Islander could no
longer be circulated the correspondent of
the Tacoma Ledger, writing in the Calkins
interest, treated the whole matter in a
manner 80 false and misleading as to con-
vey by insinuation charges against the
senator almost as outrageous as the orig
inal falsehoods. All this illustrates the
desperation in which the Calkins managers
now find themselves. They are reduced to
the one forlorn hope of defeating Squire,
and they viii sacrifice everything, includ-
ing honor and decency, TO accomplish this
vindictive purpose 1t is gratifying, how
ever, 70 be able to say that all the circum-
stances indicate that Senator Squire will
be triumphantly elected.

THE STATE PRESS.

Olympia Capital: "The claim now made by
Judge Caikins friends is that Mr.. Ashton the
Northern Pacific railroad attorney, who resides
in Tacoma. came here this week to see Senator
Squire. while the facts show that the gentleman
Ied TO register at the hotel. but occupied a
room adjoining CaIktns suite of rooms, and was
known TO be in close consultation with the lat
ter gentleman. This claim that Tacoma man,
and that man Northern Pacific attorney, came
here 70 see Senator Squire, is 50 ridiculous that
we shall next expect TO hear these gentlemen
claiming that Nelson Bennett, who is prorni-
nentiy connected with the Northern Pacific, is
here in Senator squire's interest"

BILE; fit IL open 70 honest doubt or cues
ton, there * but one fair and dispasslonate
view TO be taken of the question All
should resign, and good citizens OF all par
ties should unite to insure free vote and
an honest count in special election to
I'LL the vacancies; all uniting in pledge
that no partisan advantage should be
taken or attempted, as result of the new
election, to attack anything which has
been done in the past.
Palpably this Is the only manly course
to pursue, and the only one that would
conport with the American idea of repre-
sentative government. That principle
would be outraged by the proposed plan OF
putting tile elect and the defeated on the
same plane, if il is known or is ascertain
able who were elected and who defeated,
and If this is not possible, none but the
consciously weak or unworthy can object
TO mex election. Denial OF representa-
ton to large body of citizens would be
an unworthy and humiliating resort, and
scarcely less objectionable than the present
ENHANCEMENT.

Justice to Senator Squire.
Port Townsend Leader.

T0ft IONNSfnu Leader.
There is another point that must be taken into
consideration. senator Squire has served but
one ehort year. In that time he has accom-
plished more than could reasonably have been
expected of him. He is justly entitled under
the circumstances, TO full term OF service. The
United states Senate is a conservative body.
New members are not expected 70 be at all for
ward, and the unwritten rule OF that body places
them at every disadvantage. on account OF his
wide acquaintance and reputation he has been
able 10 do much more than other men could
have done in his position. He Is a safe man and.

THE MONTANA SITUATION.

Up 90 Saturday last nothing had been
done toward correcting the ugly legisla-
tive complications that have been a dis
grace TO Montana and q stigma to Ameri-
can institutions for the past two years.
Still the farce of two bodies claiming to be

petuated, which can only have the effect
of clouding any legislation that may be
attempted, and of retarding the develop
ment and advancement of that great new
state to a most serious extent.

Judge Over Removes a Priest as
Guardian. and Gives the Ward
INTO THE CARE OF HIS UNCLE.
Reuben Miller Found Guilty of Conducting
Gambling House.
OTHER GLEANINGS FROM TEE COURTS

A hearing was had before Judge Over, in
the Orphans Court yesterday, in the matter
of the petition for the removal of Rev.
Father John Griffin as guardian OF John
Green, a 7-year-old colored boy. The petit
tion was filed by John r. Green, of Washing
ton, d. c., an uncle of the boy. The boy was
the youngest of three children left orphans
by the death of their parents last spring.
They had no one in Plttsburg to care for
them, and at the request of Miss Catherine
DreXel, the wealthy nun, who intends to
establish an institution for colored children,
Father Griffin petitioned the court to ap-
point him guardian of the youngest child.
His petition was granted and he also took
charge of the other two children.
Mr. Green, uncle of the children, wanted
TO get them, and came to PlttsbIrg for that
purpose. As their parents and relatives
were Protestants he objected TO having the
children raised as Catholics. He obtained
the two Oldest, who were at school, but
could not get the Youngest At the hearing
yesterday it developed that the boy had
been secreted from him.
Father Griffin testified to his asking for
the appointment as guardian at the request
of Miss DreNel, who intended To educate
and support the children. He said he knew
at the time, though it was not in his peti-
tion, that the boy had relatives outside OF
Pittsburg He had given K. b. Petty, attor-
ney for the uncle. an order to Mrs. Robin
son. who had charge of the boy, to deliver
him to Mr.. Petty. He afterward revoked
the order and Mrs. Robinson removed the
hoy from her home ON Ann street to Mt
Washington, and Mr.. Petty could not lind
him.
Mrs. Robinson testified to caring for the
boy and taking him to Mt. Washington.
Mr.. Green, the uncle, furnished testimoni-
ais As to his character and means, and filed
q stipulation to care for and educate the boy
asa son. Upon this, Judge Over made an or
der revoking the appointment of Father
Griffin as guardian, and giving the custody
of the boy to Mr.. Green. The lad will be
taken TO Washington by his uncle, with the
other two children.

ECZEMA ON A LADY
Stubborn Case of Skin Disease Covered
Her Face and Body - Many
Doctors Baffied.
Marvellous and Complete Cure by Cuti-
cura-Six Years Have Eapsed
and No Return.

A lady customer of ours Miss Fanny Atwood of
Caroline Depot, n. Y, has been cured of Stub
born case of skin disease by the use of CUTICURA
REMEDIES. She remarked that her case had bafied
the skill of many well known physicians. They
unanimously pronounced it Eczema, witt Rheuma-
tism lurking In the blood. Some predicted that
any treatment strong enough to cure the Eczema
would surely increase the Rheumatism. She used
two sets of the CUTICURA REMEDIES. The effect
was marvellous. Her case of Eczema was not only
completely cured but her rheumatism whs greatly
relieved during the treatment. Six years have
elapsed since the cure was performed herlRheuma-
tism has since never increased by the treatment
but rather diminished. and she sees no symptoms
of the return of the Eczema which once so COM
pletely took possession of her face and body. Miss
Atwood delights in telling of the good effects that
mends unsolicited the CUTICURA REMEDIES for
Eczema and all kindred ailments. Your prepara-
tions find ready sale; indeed CUTICUBA SOAP is on
the list to buy almost continuously.
