be as well argued thai no man is
competent to frame or vote on a liquor
law unless he is or has been addicted
to the use of intoxieants.
But we think that there should be
men in every legislature, and in every
constitutional convention, who car
fairly and properly represent the diff
tferent orders of the population to
their satisfaction and with know
ledge of their needs. Men of sound
judgment. acquainted with the ter
ritory and the people and the varied
interests of the community are wan
ted, and also some men learned in the
law and others who clearly understand
the framing of sentences so as to leave
no ambiguity in the instrument adop-
ted. but to convey what is intended
clearly and concisely.
All classes and parties should be sc
far united as to be determined to send
to the constitutional convention the fit
test men that can be found in the diff
ferent counties or electoral districts.
Since party proclivities have to be con-
sidered, let each party choose good men
and wise men, not political intriguers
or buncombe orators. Sound sense,
Just discretion. acute judgment and
answering integrity are above mere
party considerations
Let US have. by all means, a body of
men truly representative of all the in
terests of all the sections of this terri
tory so that the constitution may be
preservative of the rights Of all and
inimical to the welfare of none. 1t
must be the peoples constitution, re-
publican in form and democratic in

CARNEGIE ARMoR PLATE FRAUDS.

The report of the special committee
of the House which has been investigat-
ing the charges affecting the reliability
of the armor for the new ships of the
navy furnished by the Carnegie COM
pany, of Pittsburg, has been laid be-
fore the House. The report shows that
the contract with the Carnegie COM
pany covers the time from November,
1890, to February, 1898. The amount of
the arnnor plate contracted for was S,97S
tons, the cost of which was So, AL, 920.
Both United States inspectors and con-
tractors are severely criticised in the
report
Giving the company the benefit of all
the doubts, the case is still against it.
The iron industry has been a particular
pet of protection from the earliest
times. Whenever it has expressed a
wish for a higher tariff, that wish has
been granted. OF late years the iron
and steel industry and Carnegie have
been almost synonymous terms. SO
powerful was the influence of this iron
and steel interest with the Republican
party in Congress that it was able to
have the tariff on beams, Orders,
ioists, angles, TT columns, with all
other structural shapes of iron and
steel placed at 1854 per cent. On T
rails, or other railway bars, iron, it had
the tariff placed at 5000 per cent, while
on the same things when made
of steel the tariff was put at
1924 per cent This was ostensibly
to encourage the iron and steel indus
try in the United States, and to keep
American money in America, rather
than let it go abroad. All this was
done in the name of protection.
Mr.. Carnegie has always been a Re-
publican and from that party he got
his favors. That party also got favors
from him, and doubtless the favors
of the one balance those of the other.
The fraud his company has perpe-
trated on the government is palpable,
but it is no worse than the fraud that
protection perpetrates ON the people
each day. If it is legitimate to take
money from the masses by prostituting
the taxing power by means of protec-
ton for the benefit of private enter
prises, why may not the same Industries
take it from the government when the
opportunity presents itself? The prin-
ciple is the same in both cases.
Carnegie has benefited by protection
as much as he cares to and has be-
taken himself to England to enjoy his
great wealth. He can enjoy the soft
air of Sussex, or chase the red deer in
the park of Cluny Castle. And all
this the result Of the blessings of pro
lection! 1t goes little hard, even with
the Republicans, and that stalwart Re-
publican journal, the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, says:
Safe among the British aristocracy
which his American-earned money has
enabled him to cultivate, he can wit
ness unconcernedly the fierce indigna-
ton Of a defrauded people and smile
at the condemnation of his ingratituGe.
He, at least, is safe; he has made his
ample fortune. What does he care if
all our ships went to the bottom at
first fire of an enemys gun. He has
relapsed into a British subject; what is
America to him?
Abraham Lincoln's Illustration of a
ton of English iron and twenty dollars
of American money does not apply in
this case

JOIN AND THE JAP.


I sing the breach tween nations
OF our Acknowledged relations,
Who dwell in lands far distant towards
the rising of the sun.
Not ConfuciuS' shade far reaching,
Nor Budda's moral teaching
Could avail to stop the fracas now so
recently begun.
The insular Mongolians,
Initial ting the AeolianS,
Instead of watching carefully their con-
tinental foe;
Were learning tongues Teutonic,
American and .phonic,
Eventually attempting to be English
don't you know"
While China got a notion,
OF peering Ger the ocean
At Cipango, and desiring an excuse to
slug the Jap,
Corea struck his vision.
And with laudable precision
He makes of this pretext for an ener-
getic scrap.
Now my advice to Jappie,
If you wish to be quite happy,
Is-watch your coolie neighbors while
they fill themselves with rats;
Don't ape the western nations,
Keep your bamboo habitations,
Or your fate is clearly pictured by the
famed Kilkenny cats.

THEN AND NOW.

In earlier years, when sentiment,
Expanded in his soul,
Oft to the forest shade he went
Where murmuring brooklets roll.
But nowadays he doesn't care
For streams in sylvan lands;
lie haunts, indoors, the corner where
The water cooler stands.
In earlier years he loved to lie
Beneath the quivering trees,
And let his locks about him fly,
Responsive to each breeze.
'Tis long since joys like these he quaffed
The youth is now a man
Who bares his bald head to the draft
OF the electric fan.

ROUGH Of WILSON.
A Financier Pays His Attention to
Democratic sRot."


Henry Clews In New York Press.
Sir-Instead ofcondemning the SEN
ators who secured the GOO amendments
to the Wilson tariff bill, and through
their influence finally forced the meas
ure through both Houses, they are de-
serving OF praise. because it gives to
the country better law than the
measure would have done unamended.
The duty of national legislators is to
have i'll view what will do the great
est good to the greatest number.
What produces prosperity to the entire
nation. therefore, is in that line Of
action. The amended bill. without
additional agitation, will bring back
good times. whereas if the Wilson bill
without amendments, had become law,
it would have continued indefinitely
the bad times. Senators, therefore,
who worked for the amended bill,
should be considered patriotic and their
efforts laudable If a Democratic Sem
ator from New Jersey. for instance.
thinks certain measure pending is GO
ing to be disastrous to the interests of
the section Of country he represents,
he is traitor to the cause ifhe uses his
influence and voice i'll favor of making
it law simply because certain men
from other sections of the country
formulate such a bill and call it Dem
ocratic doctrine, and try to whip the
rest Of the party in line OIL that ground
Notwithstanding that the passage of
such measure would totally destroy
the industries and welfare of their
States. Such Democratic doctrine
is simply rot. The panic of 81,
when Jackson was President, was pro-
duced b. that kind OF doctrine. The
panic of 81, when Buchanan was Pres
ident, and the civil war, three years
afterward, during his term, were based
upon that kind OF doctrine; and our
recent most disastrous panic is trace
able to the same cause.-The efforts to
carry out Democratic doctrine. which
should be called Democratic tinkering
to be nearer correct.
