In the gold mining districts Of this coun-
try, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, there is
a superstition that The discoveries of great
mines always come to violent ends. 1t is
said the belief is founded on the fact that
the finders of forty OF the richest mines
in the world have died in this way, twelve
being shot, three engulfed in their mines
and the rest unaccountaby disappearing.
George II. Fryer, of the Fryer Hill mine,
committed suicide. Two years before mis-
death he was worth a million, yet the au-
thorities buried him. The discoverer of
the Standard mine, in California, was kill
ed in an avalanche. Col Storey was kill
ed by the Indians; William Fairweather,
of the Alder Gulch mines, came to his
death through riotous living. The owner
Of the Homestake mine turned highway
man. He was shot dead. John Homer,
of the Horner mine, finding himself penni-
less, shot himself. "Doughnut BILL" "Old
Eureka" and "Ninemile Clarke" were kill
ed in barroom rows. and Montana Plum
mer, who found one of the richest mines
in the world died on the galloWg

THE sturdy old presi lent of the
Transvaal has clearly demonstrated
that he possesses some of the very best
qualities of craftsmanship. England's
able colonial secretary, shrewd dipio'
mat and politician though he Is, has
been utterly unable to hoodwink, caJole,
bulldoze or outwit him. In all of ms
negotiations with the British govern
ment, growing out of the entirely un'
warranted and deservedly Il as.rous
Jam son raid, he has maintained an at
thu lie of fl mness, dignity and moder
alton which stamps him as man OF
much more than ordinary ability ana
worth. 1t is very doubtful if the dis
tinguished prime minister of England,
or his astute secretary for the colonies,
would have pursued an equally conf
mendable course under such extremely
exasperating circumstances.

CAN any sane man believe for a
moment that the adoption of free sill
yer platform by the Republicans OF
this state would not be regarded in
the money centers of the east as con
cession to Populist vagaries, and that
such a concession would not have a
depressing effect upon our securities
and check the inflow of eastern capital
for investment in the development OF
our resources and the establishment OF
new industries?

THE friends of Governor Mckinley
having shown conclusively that he
"comes of the most sterling Methodist
stock and has been member of the
Methodist church from his YOUTH" the
A. p. A. IS ought to be satisfied, for there
has been very little in common between
Methodism and Catholicism since john
Wesley began his great work Of relig-

Martin Luther began the reformation
by rebelling against the Pope.

4 SIGNIFICANT and encouraging
feature of the recent Republican pri-
mary election in Whatcom was the
very decided defeat of the most promi-
nent leaders of the A. P. A. movement
there who were candidates for the con-
vention. We say encouraging because
We firmly believe that it is neither the
duty nor the right of any American
citizen to ally himself with an organ
ization which seeks to trample upon
the nations constitutional guaranty Of
absolute freedom of religious worship,
and the right of every citizen to share
the privileges and emoluments insured
by our free government and benefcient
institutions, which every male citizen
of legal age, whatever his religion, as
well as all property, is taxed in some
measure to support. We are not our
brothers keepers much less are we the
keepers of the consciences of our neigh
bors Bigotrv finds no sanction in the
immortal declaration of independence
or in the constitution of the United
States, and in neither of these great
documents, which underlie the whole
vast fabric of our government, can any
man find any warrant for instltuting a
crusade of religious prescription in free
America. We do not believe in Catho-
licism but we are not unmindful of
the fact that there are hundreds of
thousands of just as loyal and worthy
citizens of our great republic as we are
who do, and they have just as much
right as we to participation in every
privilege of citizenship wherever the
star spangled banner floats over Ameri-
can soil. This is nothing more or less
than an expression of individual opin-
ion upon a question which recent agi-
tation has rendered prominent, but
which, unfortunately, many seem
afraid to discuss except in whispers or
behind closed doors. We are not
ashamed of our views upon the subject
aud we do not propose to quarrel with
