Brought TO Light.


TACOMA, July 2l.-The council has
concluded its investigation of the
charge of dishonesty against q. II.
Hollidge, uperintendent of the light
and water department. The charge
was brought by ID. S. DeMorest of the
board of public works, on the atfidayits
of two men who claimed that Hollidge
had, when he worked for the old light
and water company, appropriated pipe
and labor Of the company for house
IN which he was building. Holhdge
proved the charge utterly false, and
during the investigation facts were
brought out showing that DeMorest
was using the boards influence in the
Interest of political parties.
Counter Charge.
At the conclusion of the investiga-
ton Councilman Lavender filed
charges against DE Morest, charging
him with using his office as a political
machine, that he had used OH many
occasions teams and city employees in
his own service, and also charged him
with making "a deal with IA sewer pipe
company that entailed loss to the
city of over 50, 900 and had refused to
accept bid on Sc %er pipe from ). G.

element, as il had been intimated

been controlling all the nominations Of

PORTLAND, Or, July 19.-Situations
are hard TO find these times, and good
ones are exceedingly hard to hold.
Just now the officials of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company (bet-
ter known as the former branch of the
Union Pacific) are wondering when
and where tue official ak will fail.
That the ak has been newly sharpened,
Is settled fact. Retrenchntnt all

held by virtue of the courts order, is

have applauded them, and they would

If Debs Were in Cleveland's Chair.
Grover Cleveland, who ordered out
the troons. is not the man of our
choice. The Irish World and those
who think with it did their best to de-
feat him. The irish World foresaw,
aud foretold, that If Cleveland was
elected distress would come upon the
country. The policy of him and his
party made this distress inevitable.
But Grover Cleveland IL now president
the United States, elected to his
nigh office by the workingmen of the
country, and 1t is his duty to execute
the laws of the United States; and it is
the duty of all good citizens, regardless
of political party views, to sustain
him at this time. Benjamin Harrison,
or Abraham Lincoln, or George WASH
ington, if any one of them were now in
the presidential chair, would have to
act as Grover Cleveland is acting.
Debs himself, were lie presi-
dent of the United States
ana true 10 the obligations Of his Office
could not act otherwise. 1t is not at all
question of men, but one of law and
of order. If there is anything wrong
with the law the people can change ii;
If the existing constitution does not
meet the demands of the time, and an
other form of government il desirable,
1t is in the power of the people to ef-
feet the change. But the fundamental
principles on which law and order are
based may not be changed, and any
change made that has not respect to
those principles will not be change
for good.
These views, we suspect, will not
please some people, even good people,
in the hunor they are now in. The
fever is on. and it will take it's course.
Meanwhile little medicine, if bitter.
will do good. BY and bye, when our
excited labor friends come back to Iea-
son, they will, we feel sure, come to see
that the position here taken by the
Irish World is the only position that
insures assured safety to society and all
interests therein.

address,:
The country has now had a years ex-
perience under the gold standard policy
since the acts of 1898, closing the minis Of

IN the United States. The results of this
experience are manifest on every hand-in

count that everywhere prevails. Congress
Will soon complete its work, and the gen
eral situation and he prospects before the

state elections involving sthe election of
United States senators have already been
entered upon. and the campaign for the
election OF members of the house tor tho
Fifty fourth congress will soon begin.
In view OF these conditions. the execu-
tive committee of the American Bimetallic
League have thought 1t advisable 20 call

manent Improvement in the condition OF
the country can be hoped for as long as the
present gold standard policy is pursued,

Uncle Sans Attitude in the Coreap-
Japanese Dispute.
WASHINGTON, July 20 while there
have been no open developments in
the negotiations between the state de-
partment and the Japanese govern
ment respecting the withdrawal Of
japanese troops from Corea, there il
ground for the belief that everything
is progressing toward a satisfactory
termination and that The happy re-.
suit will lie in a large measure attrib-
uted 10 the beneticeut efforts and good
offices of the United States.
Without reference 10 the publications
that have purported to give the Ian
guage OF Secretary Gresham's dispatch.
II can be stated now that it contained
nothing that could be construed into
interference, even in diplomatic
sense. The quotations that have been
given were erroneous, especially in the
sentence that places the president in
tile position of asserting that Japan is
waging an unjust wag upon COrea.
When the correspondence is pub
lished II Will, without question, be
found that the dispatch contains sin
ceTe expressions OF goodwill towards
both parties to the controversy and
that tine government of the United
States has simply acted in a friendly
manner, deprecated the maintenance
of conditions that threaten peace,
aud the president has expressed the
sorrow he would feel should the
horrors of war follow.
