THE TARIFF.

Candidates for nomination for the
Presidency, in both parties, are now
speaking with caution, if at all.
The man who is ambitious to occu-
py the highest executive Office in

of national politics as the sacred

Civil Service deformity, and who
il taught to believe that II Govern
ment employe must have no views
as to the government Of his coun-
try.
Much as Governor Mckinley has
been criticised for his avoidance of
vital and current questions, 1t must
be admitted that he is talking as
freely rs any other candidate ex-
cept Grover Cleveland. He is Pc
culiarly situated, however, as to The
issues. He lives on the hope that
the tariff contention may return to
politics in time for use In the cam.
paign Of next year. He and his
friends are watchful of the condi-

hopeful that there will be such II

The Past Week in Mark cts.

The feature OF the past week in

ed, and closes strong. Cotton has
advanced &C., middling closing at

and coffee has declined. Whisky
has declined 2c, and the market has
been quiet. Pig iron has been
strong, with an advancing tenden-
cy and increased animation. nry
goods have been fairly active, with
cotton fabrics very strong. Money
has been rather quiet until within
the past day or two, when the de.
mand improved. The market has
been easy throughout. On Satur.
day borrowing was quite brisk, and
considerable currency was shipped
to New York. The latter move.
Nent has been liberal all the week.

REPORTS.
From 4, ,292 Wheat Dealers
Show Il Very Bright
PrOSDnct.

During the past week c. A. King
& Co. of Toledo, have received re-
plies from 1922 reliable grain deal
ers and millers, covering every i'm
portant wheat county in the prin-
cipal winter wheat states, which
raise two thirds of that or 'p in the
United States.
Present prospect for the growing
crop is very favorable. Seven hun
dred aud twenty-one dealers report
prospects excellent, 1923 good, ,056
an average crop, 42S trifie below
average, 293 poor, and $50 for halt
a crop or less. Missouri and Illi-
nois show the best. Ohio and In,
diana promise over an average,
Michigan IL triile below, aud Kan.
sas a very poor crop.
Prospect has improved during
the past fortnight, except in Kan.
sas. Seven hundred and sixty-six
say it is much better, 1901 improv-
ing, 1852 as well, 27S trifle worse
and 81 much worse. More rain j.
needed.
The prospect now averages ah0u
the same as II year ago, but tht
crop is not quite as forward. Ac
reage is II trifie smaller than {
year ago.
| Kansas reports that about half o
the acreage sown there was winter
killed, or has been abandoned
Other states report only the usua
amount winter killed. Two third.
of all the reports say no damage o
consequence. Interior mills ant
warehouses have much less whea
than n year ago. Only 80 repor
more on hand now; SS6 about tn,
same, $50 quarter less, 206 tw'
thirds less, and 1853 none left. Farm
ers ais, have much less wheat thar
yearago. One hundred and sixt!
dealers say that more, 746 ubou

less, l,44S half less, 800 two third
less, and 556 none left.

CROAK NOW, OR NOT AT ALL.

We suspect that the hardest part
of the duties of \ conscientious
holder of a public trust, is to deter
mine the public mind, and to de-
eide what is the greatest good that
can be done in the Investment Of
public funds.
Personal prejudice and inclina
tion must be held in allegiance, and
everything must be subordinated to
the will of the people, when that
will can he ascertained. 1t Is the
part of good citizenship to support
those who have been called to per.
form an arduous and complex duty,
and the part of manhood TO de-
whatever adverse criticism is to De
done before the consummation of
the task publicly imposed.
We are led to these remarks af-
ter considering the great labor and
care that shall fall to the lot of the
Water Works Trustees.
We know that whatever may be
done by the trustees, some persons
will grumble and "kick." II is also
certain that the Board can not en-
tirely depend upon the expressions
of citizens, as to the proper lines OF
action. The citizens would never
agree as to what should be done,
But we think we are not presuming
too much when we say that the
Board will be very glad to listen tc
any suggestions citizens may have
to make, and to give their just con
sideration.
We make the claim that every
citizen who has any means o
knowledge, shall study the subject
of Water Works construction from
his standpoint and give to the trus
tees the results of his best thought
We have among us men who have
practical knowledge concerning one
thing or another of the whole pro
cess of Water Works construction
and the purposes and needs of mu
nicipal water supply. We feel sure
moreover, thar many among W
have strong notions along this line
Is it not fair that now, before an,
action has been taken by the trus
tees, that whatever we may thinl
should be presented to the board "A
suggestions, before any plan |
adopted or policy formulated?
If anything is to be said, let u
have it now, so that after the com
pletion of the works, no room shall
be left for "kickers."
We have not consulted the Boart
as to their wishes in this matter
but from our personal knowledg
of human nature and "the way tn
world wags" we know 1t would b
a pleasure to the Board to have th
ideas of the people before thei
work is done instead of afterwards
Whoever, therefore, has reason
to think he can suggest anything
let him come forward now with tn,
results of his best thought, tina
there may be no useless and hate
| full crouking hereafter.

Illinois Democracy aud Free Silver.

Illinois Democracy aud Free Silver.
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, de-
clures with something closely re.
sembling wrath that the Democra-
cy of that State Is not in favor of
free silver, utterly ignoring the
fact that forty-seven of the sixty
seven Democratic members of the
Legislature had only II day or two
before unequfvocally pledged them
selves TO free and unlimited coin
age. The only explanation Of this
apparent discrepancy is perhaps
that Senator Palmer may have
read the offending Legislators out of
the party observation-disclosures.

GREAT BRlrAlS's ULrrMAruM.

The British reply to Nicaragua's
proposal of settlement Is rather
petulent one and dOdges the real
question. Great Britain made three
demands of the Central American
state--flrst, an indemnity of $77,-
500 "for alleged personal injuries to
British subjects, including Consul
Hatch" who was sent away; Sec
ond, revocation of the edict of ban
ishment against British subjects;
aud, third, formation of commits
sion to decide by arbitration the
damage done to property of British
subjects expelled from Nicaragua
To these demands Nicaragua made
Il reply. To the first and third de-
mand the proposal was made to re-
fer all questions of payment Of
money, whether for injuries to per-
son or property, to arbitration, and
to the second demand Nicaragua
replied that the edict of banish-
ment had been withdrawn. Lord
Kimberley replies that "your coun-
ter proposal has been considered
and regret it can not be accepted.
Her majesty's government cannot
admit there Is any doubt rs to the
rights of British subjects and must
adhere to the demand of my previ-
Gus note"
An ordinary schoolboy can see
that the rights of British subjects
are not involved; 1t is a question OF
how much they were damaged
Nicaragua raises no question as to
her liability for damages, If there
were any, and by her proposal t.
arbitrate the question of damages
she puts herself on record AS to hei
willingness to pay any damage &
: court of arbitration may assess
against her, but she objects to Great
Britain assuming to be sole court
jury and executioneer in the case
, The prating about "the rights o'
British subjects" may he very in
, timidating thing, but 1t is not AZ
issue. Nicaragua admits all thei
rights, and simply asks for the evi
dences of damage.
The fact is that the British con
sular agent at Blueflelds and tn
8 British residents there sided will

The Place Captured by the Invading
Army From Illinois.

The Place Captured by the Invading
Army From Illinois.
Atlanta, Ga Nov. 13.-The capture
of Georgia by the invading army from
Illinois was completed this morning,
when the gallant First regiment, of
Chicago, headed by Governor Altgeld
and staff, on horseback, and escorted
by detachment of the Fifth regiment
of Georgia volunteers, took possession
of the exposition grounds The un
favorable weather did not seriously
dampen the enthusiasm, and there was
a large crowd in the auditorium when
the formal exercises of Illinois day be-
gan at noon. The feature was speech
by Governor Altgeld in reponse to an
address of welcome. Altgeld said:
"We feel that the time has come
when rivers should no longer be the
dividing lines between civilizations or
between the different peoples of this
country; that whether a man stands
upon the north bank or the south bank
of the Ohio he should be surrounded
by the same institutions, the same
civilization, the same spirit; that not
only should the citizens of this entire
republic stand under one flag. but they
should be actuated by the same motives
and the same high aim and struggle
toward the same end"

Salem, Or, Nov. is. An opin ;.
was banded down from 1hs snpreme
court today by Chief Justice Bean,
affirming the Judgment Of the lower
court in convicting Joseph CtBunco'O
Kelly of murder in the second degree.
Authorities are cited to show that
having heard and read of the case and
found and expressed an opinion as to
its merits did not necessarily disqualify
jurors. The alleged error in overrul-
ing a motion to exclude the jury from
the courtroom during the hearing as to
the competency of an alleged confess
sion, which as evidence, was finally re-
jected, the chief justice says is a new
question in the supreme court, and he
says that, in his opinion, whether or
not such examination should be con-
Quoted in the presence of jury is for
the sound discretion of the court. The
argument that such hearing may in
fuence jury in arriving at verdict,
although rejected as evidence, is an
unwarrantable assumption of ignorance
and incompetence of the jury. In the
judgment of the law, juries are deemed
capable of that amount of discrimina-
tion. 1t would be impossible to con-
duct jury trials on any other principle.
Hence, Judgment is affirmed.

New National Park.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The annual
report of the Chickamauga and Chat
tanooga national park committee has
been sent to the secretary of war. It
shows that forty-two miles of road
have been constructed and much done
in the way of repairs and betterments.
The park now includes $500 acres,
upon which $27,620 have been expend-
ed Additional tracts desired cannot
be secured, owing to the exorbitant
charges of holders. Twenty-three
monuments and marks have been placed
and 118 foundations prepared for state
monuments. None of the southern
states have taken steps to mark the
position of their troops, and the border
and Southern states have just COM
menced their work with the prospect
of erecting over 100 monuments during
the next year.
