In this matter of the expulsion OF
Rev. Mr.. Knapp from Turkish juris-
diction we need to take care that we do
not get off on the wrong side of the
train. AS we understand it, the Turk
ish officials have charged Knapp, who
is an American, with murder and sedi-
tion, because, it is alleged, that he in
cited Ar1nenians to activities that led
to murder and plotting against public
order and lawful authority. Accord
ingly Knapp is to be taken to Con-
stantinople for trial, whereat certain
Of our own people get up a petition and
memorial, asking the Government to
demand the release of Knapp. In Eng
land also at public meetings the same
demand has been made. Now, let us
look at this matter calmly. Let us sup
pose Mr.. Knapp to be innocent, as he
probably is. Why should he not be
taken to Constantinople for trial, and
why should he be released without in
quiry into the matter by the Turkish
Government? On the face of the
charges Mr. Knapp is an offender
against the laws of place, and as such
he must stand trial according to such
laws. All we haye any right to do in
the premises is to demand that he have
a fair trial. If he is guilty, or Is regu-
larly and fairly found guilty, he is La
BILE to suffer the penalty of place. The
fact that he is an American citizen
does not give him license to preach Sc
dition or incite to rebellion, no matter
how cruel the Turk may be, or what
the wrongs of the Armenians. Why is
he taken to Constantinople? Because
that Is best. It is the seat of govern
ment. There the American Minister
can better see that his rights are pre-
served to him, and there the Turkish
Government can best protect him and
inquire into the case, the offense
charged being against the nation, and
not against any small section or prov
case in our own State. Suppose Turk
living in this country to be charged
with melting people to rebellion, and
with having been accessory to murder
under the Federal laws. He would be
arrested and taken to San Francisco
or Los Angeles, where Federal Courts
sit, there to be tried. Despite his be-
ing an alien, we would try him, and
IL convicted apply the punishment
deemed meet All the Turkish Gov
ernment could or would do would be
to see that the man had a fair trial.
Mr. Knapp's case is very much Of this
nature. He is properly in Turkish GUS
tody, and being charged with crime
must stand trial in the court the Gov
ernment indicates. Our right and duty
is to see that he is fairly tried and not
unustly convicted.
Since the foregoing was written the
news is at hand that Knapp is to be
taken to Constantinople to be tried, not
before the Turkish courts, but before
the Consular Court of our own coun-
try We have had many hard things
to say of the Turk, but assuredly this
is to his credit, and we should freely
accord it.

one, denouncing no one, and not advo-
eating one harbor more than another.
1t asked Congress to appropriate money
for both harbors. and declared that there
is no real cause for any antagonism in
the matter.
On the other hand, the San Pedro
meeting purported to be an assemblage
of the people Of the city only, and there
fore did not represent the county as well.
1t was abusive, Incorporate, indecent
and vulgar in its expressions, and de-
clared that unless it's will was obeyed
it wanted nothing done in the matter of

representative of many, find a good IL
lustration of the method the unscru-
pulous, when in newspaper work they

A BOLT IN MINNESOTA.
Silver Republicans Decline to Support NC
KinIey or Governor CIough.

st. Paul, MIMI, July 3.-Right on the
heeels of the Republican State Conven-
tion comes a sensational manifesto from
the silver Republicans of the state de-
dining to support Mckinley or Governor
Ciough.
The document Is signed by Lieutenant
Governor Frank A. Day, former Repre-
sentative John Lind, Representative
Town, State Senators Sanborn, Morgan,
Smith and Fl Toward and many others.
The address says that the Republican
party has drifted from its purpose, quotes
James G. Blaine's speech in favor of sill
Yer, ana concludes:
The Republican party no longer
stands for both silver and gold as primary
money. but for gold only. On
matters of vital principle no man can
reasonably ie asked to submit to party
dictation. Every man who places country
above party, and whose sympathies are
with the producers az against the money
brokers and DondholdeIs, owes duty to
his conscience and to his country which
can only be discharged by putting forth
every effort in his power, that the blight
of the single gold standard may not be
fastened upon this people,

She Was Tired of Joe's Shyness and Came

It was only two room log cabin, and
after supper Mrs Coots and sat down in
the front room and left her daughter Sue,
q girl about IS years old, to clear away
and tidy up. She had just finished when
young man slipped into the kitchen Hss
headgear was coonskin cap, the bottoms
Of his trousers were tucked into his booa-
legs, and he was as awkward and ungainly
as COW on Ice.
"Howdy, Joe9" saluted the girl as be
entered
"How-howdy," he replied as he sat
down on the edge of chair and furnbled
with his cap.
''That's her beau, whispered Mrs. Coots
to me over her knitting. 'Joes peart

her to marry him"
The girl took seat on the far side of the
room, and for ten minutes not a word was
spoken between them Then she finally
qneried:
"How's bars, Joe?''
Hahn seen bar in three months"
he replied.
There was another painful interval, and
then Sue asked:
"How's coons, JoeP"
"Coons is plenty" he replied as he
avoided her glance.
"That's the way it goes!'' whispered the
mother. "They jist sot and sot and sot
and talk bout bars and coons and SIGH,
and do declar' I'm gittin all upsot!''
Five minutes Later just as the young
man seemed on the point of leaving, Sue
kindly inquired
ffKilled any possunls lately, Joe?''
''Nary one, - he replied as he stared at
his boots.

the mother as she laid aside her work and
rose up.

stood before the young man and sternly
demanded:
