THAT THE President is not admired
by many good and true democrats
among the wiser men of their party
and that some of the things he has done
and left undone are utterly at variance
with democratic precedent, principles
and policies, arc so plain that they go
without saying; but how any man really
interested in the country's welfare can
find fault with his decided and EN-.
phatic opposition to filibusters aid
jingoes is die lit to understand, on
grounds compatible with the possession
of good sense by the fault finders.
Every intelligent citizen OF the country
knows that the government already has
more subjects than it can we'll control.
Certainly more, and these, too, of for
eign birth aud feeling, and far across
the seas, would increase its present and
patent danger. But those whom the
gods would destroy, they first make

THERE is great complaint now of tn

THERE Is great complaint now OF the
prevailing disrespect for and disregard
of the law; and with good reason, as the
ground of the complaint is patent to all
observers. Indeed the condition is
such that almost the only people who
obey the laws now, are those who
would be good citizens if there were no
laws, the others following their own
sweet will, having, apparently, adopt
ed the New England idea of higher
law, that is, one that suits their own
inclination. But none of this is at oil
strange in country of unrestricted
suffrage, for in such countries the laws
are passed by men elected by ma
iority of the voters, and ss that MAORI
ty elect men unworthy of respect and
whom even they do not respect, how
can it be expected that the laws made
by such men should either demand or
secure their respect and Observance !?
TO be respected, the laws must be good,
and to be good, they must be enacted
by good and respectable men.

cases Against Smyth and Thompson
End With a Censf,re Of Smyth

Tacoma. June 22.-Special.-Th '.I.exow"
committee OF the city council has con-
Guided its iabors and the results are-nil.
ioday II presented its report to the city
council In brief. this report is
that the charges against Councilman
Thompson. namely that he accepted a
bribe Of SIS TO vote for 5. j. Smyth as city
clerk. and that he attempted to bribe City
Attorney Wickersham to let gambling run
al the Haymarket, have not been proven.
As 10 the charge against City Clerk s J.
Smyth that ne bribed Councilman Thomp-
son, the committee finds that there is not
sufficient evidence to show he did So but
that he brought the council into disgrace
by stating he had
The report states that the evidence
given shows the charges have been made
and repeated by the mayor and city at
toFney; that they have been repea ted by
numerous-o people; that on the charge
that Thompson tried 10 bribe Wickersham
enough evidence to prove he did mas not
been adduced: that the charge that Smy1h
said he brsbed Thompson has been proven
out that no testimony has been presented
TO show he actually did bribe Thompson
and that Smyth swears he did not and
that he made no such statements The
committee recomme nded that no further
action be taken as regards the alleged at
tempt of Thompson TO bribe WickershaTn
but that some action should be taken as
regards Smyth, as his statements have
brought into ''discredit the good name of
your honorable body"
Accordingly. resolution censuring
Smyth was passed. President Harris
gravely notified Sn yth. wno was sitting
two feet in front of him during the whole
proceedings, and proceeded to administer
the censure. Smyth then made another
and 1at-footed denial that he ever bribed
any one. or ever said he did. He then said
he would he compelled TO accept the Gen.
sure OF the council This was an assertion
no one disputed and he sat down.
City Attorney Wlckersham, who was re-
quested last week 10 present legal opin-
Ion as TO whether or not he was the legal
city attorney Of Tacoma, presented an
opinion to the effect that he was al least
city attorney de facto whether he was at
torney de jure or not. and that he believed
ne was attorney de jure also. He backed
II up with an opinion sustaining this view

The Loan to China.

London, June 22.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says, referring TO the efforts being made
to borrow money for China; ''The hitch In
the Chinese loan is due to the fact that
before the Russo-Chinese arrangement
had been effected contract for loan had
been signed with a large London bank,
which placed 100000 at the immediate
disposal of China. and the bank was given
the option of arranging the great loan
which was TO follow. Russia learned OF
these negotiations, and brought her influ-
ence TO bear 10 undo them. IL is doubtful
whether she will succeed. as the contract
cannot he set aside with impunity. and IL
is the duty of Great Britain 10 see that the
rights of her citizens are protected"
