A Socialist Victory in Germany.
New York Evening Post

New York Evening Post.
The recent defeat of Herr Won Gerlach,
the Conservative and Agrarian candi-
date in Kolberg, Pomerania, by an unex-
pected alliance of Socialists and Anti
Semites. is held to have a good deal of
political significance. A Berlin corre-
spondent of a London newspaper says:
THE tactics hitherto pursued by the Con-
servatives towards the Anti-Sem.tes have
signally failed, and the latter are begin
ming more and more to include among
their natural foes. besides the Jews, the
Conservative aristocracy. When a new
Conservative programme was Drawn up
in 1892, opinions were divided in the party
as to the attitude to be adopted to-
wards the anu-Semitic movement. on
the one side IL was argued that consid-
Grafton both for the past character and
the future development of the Conserva-
tive party forbade cooperation with the
Anti-Semites, even at the risk of tempo
rary losses. Others contended that. by
judicious sympathy it would be POSSIBLE,
while eliminating the more obnoxious ele-
ments, TO incorporate the movement with
the Conservative party and TO use any
influence IL might possess in the Conserv-
alive cause. These views won the day.
But since that time the history of the
Conservative party has proved hat those
who demanded the drawing of a hard
and fast line between the Conserva tiyes
and the Anti-Sernites were the better
politicians. The Anti-Semites have not
allowed themselves to be Incorporated
with the Corserva tives, but have success
fully used the patronage granted 20 them
In increasing their own independence and
in taking the wind out Of the Conserve
tives' sails. Rather ten Semites than
one Radical" said one speaker at the
Conservative congress in 1892. and today

A war~hip Not Needed at Panama.

Washington City. July 25.-The apore-
hension of serious trouble on the IsthmEs
of Panama, owing TO the strike of rail-
way employees, was considerably relieved
by the receipt of a telegram today from
United States Consul General Vifquain.
at Panama, stating that the governor of
the province of Panama had assured the
consul general of his ability to maintain
order there. 1t is therefore improbable
that any warsh.p will now be dispatched
to the isthmus unless affairs assume a
more threatening aspect than they do
at present.

GUMS IDEA OF ARGUMENT.


T. C. Kriete who was in Snoho-nish on
legal business a few days ago, tells the
following story OF how they do business
there In the courts: John Gum is po-
lice Justice and also justice OF the peace
J. p. Smith holds the same titles SMITH
had a case before Gum. with the 'ify
attorney, van Bowen, for his opponent.
The battle OF words waxed warm put
the goddess of peace spread her wings
and calm rested once more on the trou-
bed waters.
The next day Smith and Van Bowen
were the opposing counsel In another
case before Gum. The testimony was ali
in and the arguments about TO COM
mence when Justice Gum suddenly
reached down under his desk and pr
duted two pairs of boxing gloves, that
looked as big az feather pillows. He
handed one pair to Smith and the other
10 Van Bowen, and before the astonish-
cd expounders OF the law could recover
spoke as follows;
Having heard you gentlemen yester-
day, and for the courts protection, as
well as 10 see that no harm cunles 20
either side | have deemed IL advisable
10 provide you with these weapons OF
pugilistic warfare. Gentlemen, proceed.
The arguments were painfully short
and the gloves were not in evidence.

much as iE the eight business days clos.
ing that month. The July expenditures
70 date have been so3 $3.50 while those
Of the entire month OF June were official
ly reported at SCI, 6s3029. In the eight
business days OF this month the money
paid out amounts TO ss5.S1SoG0. while in
the eight closing business days Of last
month the amount paid out was S.sS9,607.
In no month since August, 1891, has there
been such showing Of economy" in the

stroke of Democratic financiering they

shown by the fact that no June in ten

old smuggling vessel was built for her
former shady transactions. When Chaun-
cev ST. John, the official measurer. and
his assistants had carefully worked tnelr
+anelines around her forehold they came
aft and found a mystery. There was
great discrepancy In the interior dimen-
sions that could not at first be accounted
for After a close examination false decks
and bulkheads were found which con-
cealed a large secret apartment fitted up
with hunks FOR sleepers. and down near
the bottom were found secret lockers for
opium When the Portland. then the
Havtien Republic, was strangely hitting
over Puget sound a few years ago, run
ming Chinese and opium across. these
hidden places were utilized. The vessel
then became famous in one of the great
est smuggling cases of the century, and
which is vet dragging through the courts.
The discovery OF this increase OF carry
ing capacity caused the raising OF the
steamers tonnage just 400 tons.
