Mr.. David Lubin, the agltator in favor
OF bounty on agricultural exports, re-
Gently submitted his idea to four leading
proteotionists of the country for their
opinion of it's feasibility. The men
selected by Mr.. Lubin were Col Albert
CLARK, secretary OF the Home Market Club
of Boston, Prof. Guntun, New York,
editor Of The Social Economist, ]. r.
Dodge, formerly chief of the bureau of
statistics of the department of agriculS
ture, and Joseph Nimmo, Jr., formerly
chief of the bureau of statistics in the
treasury department. After hearing the
advocates of the scheme the committee
reported that they failed to. be convinced
either OF the economic soundness of the
proposition or the correctness OF the as
sumption on which it is founded 1t
did not seem to the committee neces-
sary part of equitable and national pro-
lection, but on the contrary beyond the
legitimate province of protection and
more in the nature of paternalism or
charity. Protection secures to nation
of people their natural opportunity, leav-
all sthe chances of SUCCESS or failure to
themselves, AMI leaving the people of
other countries free to compete with them
upon equal terms, and under uhisspolicy
an enormous home market has been de-
veloped. But an export bounty under
takes to sustain prices at home, thus sug-

1T is NONSENSE.


There is plenty to be said against the
snapper" which President Cleveland ap-
pended to his Venezuelan message. 1t
was doubtless impolitic and unwise. 1t
excited the British and American public,
disturbed business and caused consider
able loss to American investors. 1t, also
probably made it more difficult to settle
the question at issue without humiliation
on the part of one nation or the other.
All these effects have followed the Presi-
dents ill considered threat All these
things can fairly be claimed to have been
consequence of that threat.
But when it is alleged that the mes
sage sealed the fate'' of the Armenians
by putting England in place where she
could not interfere with the massacres in
Asia Minor, a claim is made that is sb-
surd. These massaores were going on
for many months before anybody ever
dreamed of any trouble between England
and the United States. Every European
nation had had its attention called to
them, and every one of them Of promi-
nople ostensibly to coerce the Sultan into
putting an end to the barbarities winch
his subjects were committing in his
Asiatic dominions. Nearly two months
ago Lord Salisbury announced in pub
lie speech that the Powers were in per-
public a letter from the Sultan promising
to institute the reforms demanded by the
Powers. At that time England's han ds
were not tied by the prospect of war
with the United States. According to
the statement, too, of her own prime
minister, there was perfect concord
among the Powers, yet up to the time OF
the Presidents message not single
effective step had been taken to stop the
Armenian massaores, and there wore no
signs that any were meditated. Indeed
the Tory newspapers were constantly in
stilling the idea into the British public
that none could be taken without involv-
ing England in war with Russia and
perhaps other continental pow.rs. The
excuse offered to the British people who
were indignant at the continuance of
these outrages for non-interference was
that to interfere might precipitate gem
eral war. When the furry over the Ven
ezuelan matter came along, the same
press took advantage Of it as a new and
fresh excuse for non-interference, and
there have been newspapers and men on
this side Of the Atlantic innocent enough
to think that that message really
did affect British policy in the East
and cause England to refrain from in.
terfering in behalf Of the Armenians.
But had she ever intended to interfere
she would have done SO long ago. The
truth is, she has been deferred all along,
partly by fear of complicating herself
with Russia, and partly by fear of arous.
ing Mussulman fanaticlsm in her Indian
domains. There isn't single public
man in Great Britain today that has the
slightest fear Of a war with the United
States, and the claim that Great Britain
is restrained from interfering in Armenia
By any such fear is nonsense.

Beware of Root Beer.

the yeast fermenting process is positively
an alcoholic beverage, in some cases CON
tanning as much alcohol as lager beer, ale
orlight wine. This ought to answer CON
clusively the question. whether TO drink
root beer is a violation of the total absti-
nenoe pledge. Remove the alcohol from
beer and it would be fiat and insipid, and
those who now think it is a pleasant and
appetizing drink, would have no taste or

dangerous risk as to have root hear In

1t strikes US that the remarks of the
county attorney Of Kennebeo county in
the case of the Thompson brothers, ar
rested on suspicion of murder, were not
fair. These men were charged with the
highest crime known to the law They
asserted their innocence, and put in evil
dence which SO clearly esta blished an
alibi that the county attorney admitted
they could not be held They were en-
titled to their discharge, therefore, and
to go forth from that court room
unaspersed. But the county attorney,
while admitting that no case had been
made out against him, proceeded to say
to the court and to the public that the
government had an important witness
that it had not put upon the stand.
because 1t did not wish to give away it's
case to the defence, thus clearly insinu-
ating that Notwithstanding their dis
charge thero was reason to believe that
the defendants were guilty. This sugges-
tion OF the county attorney was entirely
unnecessary and it was unjust. Evi.
dence that he did not present he ought
not to have commented upon. His re-
marks will serve to keep alive suspicion
against the accused men, and suspicion
too, which they cannot meet because
they are not and may never be in posses
sion of the evidence on which the county
attorney professed to base it.
Zeal on the part of prosecutor in bring
ing criminals to justice is to be COM
mended, but he ought not, eitherssto the
court or the public, make accusations or
throw out suspicious which he is not
ready to back up by evidence when the
opportunity is offered him.

That all fear of war between England
and the United States has disappeared
in Europe is shown by the readiness,
even eagerness, there to take the bonds

One of Calais meat merchants had the
bluff game worked on him one morning
last week by a party who took goose
home for the inspection of his boarding
mistress. Dinner came and the goose was
unpaid for, SO the merchant visited the
boarding house just in time to see the
goose taken from the oven. He cOnclud-
ed that he was not goose enough to allow
his property to be eaten before it was
paid for, SO he took the bird from the
bake pan and carried 1t to the market.
Now he is threatened with an action of
troyer to recover for the dressing and 9th
er articles used in the cooking.

property Monday, his check for $500, to
be put at interest, the interest to be used
annually for the support of preaching.
Some years ago he gave the society
q pulpit outfit worth 1926, and little
over a year ago had the church painted
at a cost of 500. 1t is said that he in
tends to do more than that, but that
he wanted the church to have this while

wire the Honolulu figures. In letter
to eX-Captain Dodge, Capt, II. \. Willis
of the Colorado team acknowledges
the championship of the Sharpshoot-
ers. He says that this is the first
time the Denver Rifle Club has ever
been defeated. The result, however, is
taken in good grace, he continues, and
the team hopes for return match in
the near future.
McLean's two AIS was not beaten.
Peterson came near to it with A and
a 46. Two of the Denvers scored twin
46s. The Sharpshooters' lowest total
was so points. Ford of the opposing
team only made II. The Sharpshoot-
ers had in their scores one and five
3s: the Denvers rolled up two rs and
twelve IS. Altogether the shooting of
the local team was steadier and better.
The victory of the Sharpshooters is
all the more satisfactory when a
couple of points are considered. They
used military rifles against sporting
weapons with hair-triggers, telescope
sights and spirit levels. The Denvers
were so sure of winning that they of
fered, in the first place, a handicap OF
twenty points. This was declined by
the Sharpshooters, who desired tc
shoot the match on its straight merits
The event will undoubtedly lead to
other matches in the States.

AN OLD CASE.
Decision in the Matter of Ashford VS..
Poor and the Government.

Judge Carter of the Circuit Court to-
day handed down decision in the
case of Nolney V. Ashford against
Henry +. Poor and the Hawaiian Gov
eminent. The ruling was in favor Of
the defendants. \. S. Hartwell is at
torney for Ashford, \. Rosa for Poor
and Deputy Attorney General Dole
for the Government.
Ashford, Just before leaving Homo
lulu for Hilo in December of 1888, left
a sack of money amounting to $500,
with Fred Wunderberg, who was eX-
otficio manager of the Postal Savings
Bank. The money was deposited in
the bank by Wunderberg in the name
of Henry f. Poor as trustee. Poor was
then chief clerk and cashier of the
bank. 1t is alleged by Ashford that
he drew S420 of the amount in March
of 1893, but since that time has been
unable to secure the remainder. Poor
is not now connected with the bank
and the Government insists that the
money has been withdrawn.
Judge Carter held that the Govern
ment had no discretion in the APP
pointment of Poor as trustee and no
power of removal. Ashford alone had
authority to remove Poor as trustee
and for this reason must look to Poor
for the recovery of his money.

MEXICAN DOLLAR AGAIN
Col. Nicholas Bird Thinks They Would be
Good for Kansas.

For some time the papers have been
talking about the possibility of the Pop
ulist legislature passing q Jaw making
Mexican dollars a legal tender IN Kan
sas. If the talk is a lie it is absurd; if
it is not a lie the proposition IS absurd.
Lie or no lie, the Free Silver club will
take up the Mexican dollar at its next
meeting in this city with view of dis
cassing its utility as medium of eX-
change. Colonel Nichola, Bird Will ad-
vocate il. but not from the standpoint of
g legal tender. He will advocate its use
as medium OF exchange soley between
the city Of Wichita and the Republic OF
tieXico. He believes that Wichita could
open up trade relations with Mexico, &C
cept.ng lis silver dollars for goods ship
ped from here and exchanging il back
for the coffee of Mexico end such other
Mexican products as can be used in
Wichita. Colonel Bird seems 10 under
stand what his scheme IS and thinks il is
a good one. but the reporter for the
Eagle. who talked with him on the sub
lect, could not quite penetrate what Joe
Brubaker would call the maze of mys-
tifcaticn that surrounded the PROPOSE
ton. He can possibly make it clear TO
the silver club.
