GOV. M'KINLEY AND COLT.
Mckinley Says the Washington c. H. Peo-
pie VIII Think Better Of It.


COLUMBUS, O., Nov 19.-"Can a mill
tary officer be prosecuted for doing his
duty?" was asked of Gov. Mckinley to-
day u relation to the Colt case.
'sOh yes, criminal charges can be made
against anybody. They could be entered
against you and me. IL is a question for
the courts. But ! am not afraid Of Colt;
he will come out all right no matter
what is done. The only thing that both
ers me is that if charge of murder is
brought it Is not a bailable offense, and
1t would be annoying to have to be i'm
prisoned."
At this point. judge happened in to
call on the governor. He heard the re-
mark and said: "a judge can inquire
into a murder charge at once to see on
what ground it is based. and be can ad-
nit the person to bail if he sees fit"
Then if that is the case, l don't be-
lieve there is a law judge in Ohio who
would refuse bail under these circum
stances" the governor replied "But
don't think 4 prosecution VIII be insti-
ruted against Colonel Colt or the sheriff.

have control Of the worId's supply Of
camphor should it get the island Of
F0rm0sa as part Of its indemnity from
China, according to Anthony A. PIchard,
who lived many years in Asia.
Cam phcr sold for less than ten cents
a pound twenty years ago" he says,
shut it has advanced TO over 81 pound"
1t is generally believed by japanese
merchants and travellers tnat if Japan
had not been drawn into the war with
China at this time it would have seized
the Hawaiian Islands on the ground tnat
there are more japanese there than any
other nationality.
These men look upon the move to Sc
cure Formosa as in line with Japan's
policy to strengthen herself as "the Eng
land of the Pacific" and as preliminary
to securing the Philippine Islands, and
the Hawaiian Islands also should the
United States fail to annex them.

The highest average in any state east

Perhaps the greatest surprise in the

ION IN the cas-, concerning thi. Young
state is that its people are afflicted with
cold winters and short crops, and that
most OF them are poor and in debt; vet

AN important decision, involving the
title to many Thousand acres Of miner.
al land along the Northern Pacific R.R.
was rendered recently by the L. s. su-
preme court. 1t appears that deposits
OF gold and silver were discovered on
portions Of the land after the railroad
had taken possession, and n question
was raised as to the title to the mineral.
The supreme court decided against the
claim OF the railroad company that the
exemption of lands containing mineral
gold and silver made in the grant was
limited to lands which were known 70
contain these minerals at the time Of
the act or location of the line of the
road. No grant to railroads, said the
court, had ever been held to pass title
to mineral land, and the practice of the
Land Department has uniformly been
to refuse to patent to railroad compa-
ny lands known to contain minerals
prior TO the date of patent.

WHEN the fiscal year ends on the aOth
OF this month, the financial condition
OF these United States will be too dis
graceful for publication; and yet it
must be given TO the world, showing as
1t Will how near 10 national ruin this
most incompetent administration has
succeeded in bringing the country, and
what rank folly it was for the people to
entrust the affairs of the nation to a
party that was not capable Of manag-
ing them for even the short time it has
been in power. Commenting on this
state Of affairs, the Spokane Opinion
terseiy observes: Under the practical,
ly imbecile rule of the democracy the
national disbursements are nearly So
10000 in excess Of the receipts every
month, and there will soon be SO great
deficit that either the credit of the
nation will have to be again used to
make it good, or else population will
follow. The latter alternative would
not be surprise under Cleveland inan.
