ON TRIAL.

The last few national elections have
demonstrated that there are enough
people in the United States who vote
solely according to their convictions,
without regard to mere party ties. to
hold the balance of power between the
two great parties. and to turn out one
or the other at their will. To gain
their support, party must honestly
champion common sense policies which
will tend to strengthen and develop
our government and resources it must
propose measures that are plainly In
the interest of the people, and not for
the mere qualification of party greed
or foolish sentiment.
From this point of view it cannot
be denied that the Republican party,
in both States and nation, is under
very blind and incompetent guidance.
In the last session of Congress the Re-
publicaus spent most of their time and
wasted most of their breath in absurd
speeches about few islands in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean that none
of us feel the least interest in. Indeed,
their pet project for the laying of a
cable to Honolulu, which we have no
use for whatever, would have prevented
tbelaying of a cable to China and Japan
which we need very badly, and which
will shortly be undertaken, in all prob
ability, by private enterprise. In New
York they are wrangling over the Of
fees which the independent vote en-
abled them to wrest from Tammany,
and the independent vote aforesaid re-
allies the advantages Of swapping the
devil for a witch. In Indiana they
have just adjourned their Legislature
with row that would disgrace gang
of toughs on the Bowery, and all for
the sake of substituting one of their
own men for Democrat in petty
Office. We have sufficiently comment
ed on their action in this State; and
all over the country it has been marked
by the same features Of incompetency,
partisanship and blind disregard Of
plain facts.
All responsibility for the next two
years will rest on the Republicans.
In the period of rest thus assured the
Democrats, it is their duty to consider
calmly and frankly existing conditions
in the commercial and industrial world
to bring their best judgment to bear
on the question of remedies for exist
ing evils; and then, rising above mere
partisan considerations, to unite all
their forces in favor of plain common
sense policy on whatever may prove
to be the main issue, and make their
campaign firmly on that line. In no
other way can they retrieve what they
have already lost in public confidence,
and in no other way can they take
full advantage of the folly and mis-
takes of the Republicans.

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them

THE second trial Of Capt. Thomas
A. Goodman, the murderer of Col. H.
c. Parsons, ended at Charlottesville,
Va, on Saturday with a verdict of ac-
quittal. In July of last year Capt.
Goodman, who was railroad conduct
or, shot down Col. Parsons in cold
blood, instantly killing him, because
the latter was seeking to have the
former discharged from his position
His first trial resulted in conviction
and Goodman was sentenced to eight
cen years in the penltentiary. The
second trial resulted in an acquittal,
and the murderer is turned loose.
The verdict is an unfortunate one. An
old man was brutality slain by young
one, and the criminal ought to have
been punished severely. The jury
however, says in effect that any man
in Virginia is seasonably safe in taking
the law into his own hands and has
practically the right to kill whoever
may oppose or offend him.

SOME of our SISTER republics IN
South and Central America seem to
be in a chronic state of revolution or
rebellion. 1t is our traditional policy
to keep hands off in these disturbances
and to lend our moral support to the
established government. But some of
our thrifty down-east Yankees, scent
ing profit which they do not scorn
because it is unsavory, always enter
into negotiations with the insurgents
for cargo of arms and ammunition.
Our government has several times been
in trouble on this account-most re-
Gently in the case of the Hato during
the CHILEAN rebellion-and it has come
to pass that almost any American
ship in South American waters is an
object of suspicion in such unsettled
times. If any government is so lndls-
Greet as to tamper with an innocent
vessel, these same thrifty Yankees,
whose love of the almighty dollar has
brought about this state of affairs, be-
come blatant fre-eaters and assume
all manner of patriotic airs. This is
the true explanation of the firing on
the Allianca last week, for which Spain
has apologized. And while Mr.. Gresh-
ans forcible protest was eminently
proper, we must see to it that our own
citizens are not allowed to violate the
rights of friendly nations if we would
avoid similar occurrences in the future.

INCREASING EXPORTS.

Notwithstanding the blighting effects
Of the Wilson bill and the repeal Of re-
ciprocity, the exports from the United
States for the year ending June 80, last,
were 1888, S43, 900, as against 1916, 665, 1914
the previous year, under the McKin-
ley tariff bill. As usual, three-fourths
OF this amount came from the farmers,
who derive no benefit under pro.
lection, but as the manufacturing
trade secures the foothold in foreign
lands which the Wilson bill make posi-
BILE, the proportion Of finished products
exported will rapidly increase, and the
bulky, agricultural products will be con.
sumed at home, and the manufactured
article, which has utilized many times
the labor of the former, and the freight
on which is infnitesimal as compared
with the heavier products, will take their
place.
The Wilson bill is having the effect
predicted by its friends, and will rapidly
grow in favor. and exercise pcrceptible
effect upon the next presidential election.
Its friends welcome another contest upon
the tariff lines. They will be able to
show beyond the shadow of doubt that
i: is not the business Of congress to make
good times by legislation. The less
trammelled is trade. and the less legisla-
ton relating thereto, the more prosperous
will the country become. Though born
in the midst of adversely, the pill re-
ducing exorbitant tariff rates has already
demonstrated the fallacy OF the mis-
named protectionists that tariff wall
was necessary to the prosperity OF this
glorious country.

The question Of larger water main on
East First street was discussed. Coun-
Gilman Gum gave some prices on pipe
and material from which it was estimated
that 6-inrh pipe could be laid to resi-
dence OF G. II. Wilson for about 800, and
to the end Of the present 4-inch main for
$500. There is in the water fund over
$500, and City Attorney KcKinlay gave
an opinion that the revenue from water
rents could be legally anticipated for the
excess. The council are disposed 10 en-
large this main, but first desire to make
sure that the main under the river is all
right, and to that end ordered the water
superintendent to make test and report
at the next meeting. A motion to in
struct the clerk to advertise for bids for
material for the proposed extension was
lost, the majority Of the council preferring
to wait the result OF the test ordered, and
also desiring to include the laying Of the
pipe in the bid.
