Mr.. TAWNEY is MAD.

Congressman Tanney, Of the First
district feels rather sore over the ap.
ppintL.eDt of Senator Peterson, of st.
Peter, for collector of customs at ST.
Paul, and in an interview at Wash
inston makes some pointed remarks
on what he calls the senatorial com.
bine. He claims that in this ap-
point,len5 that the Republicans Of
hi- district have been misused because
m,n from that district was not ap-
pointed to the dictatorship. While
the First district had splendid can
didate for the place, who would have
filled it well had he been appointed,
the senators from this state could
not rec on him, and the president
declined TO appoint unless they could
agree, a rule he uses in all cases. But
we do not understand that the First

would not be human were he not
possessed of these qualities also. But
he is possessed of pretty good ideas as
TO what legislation the country needs
and the people will stand back of him
in his endeavors to see that it is en-
acted. If he succeeds in carrying
out the idea he is said to have in
mind at present of keeping the ap.
preparations down to the smallest
point possible and so prevent a def
cit, he will have the approval of the
people generally. If his rule in the
house is obnoxious, it can be changed
any time the majority see fit, but in
such an event we believe the country
would be the loser by such move.

MAKE A BETTER SHOWING.

In referring to the increased earn
ings of the railroads, which stands as
good Indication of the increased
business Of the nation, Henry Clews,
in his weekly letter reviewing the
busint SIS situation, says:
Railroad earnings tell remarka-
BILE story. In the month of Novem-
Der 13l roads reported an aggregate
increase Of 20 per cent; and in De-
cember even this rate of progress is
being surpassed. In some cases our
railroads are beating the records for
earnings. and, as the gains are very
fairly distributed over the entire
country. it follows that they must be
due to a general increase of traffic,
and not to single causes, although
shipments Of grain, cotton and pro-
visions seem to have been the largest
items of growth, Altogether the rail-
road situation is exceptionally salts
factory. The only dark spot is the re-
mote probability of any pooling law;
yet the railroads are not likely to cut
rates with plenty of traffic in sight as
at present. Our railroads are down
to hard pan. Consolidation and reor-
ganization have put them upon new
and stronger footing. AS a rule they
are now managed by practical rail-
road men. not spectators, and finan-
cial control has passed into more con-
sentative hands; SO that there is lit
tie likelihood of repetition of the
disgraceful management which char
acterized American railroads in the

district has a mortgage upon this
position. Mr.. Tawney says that the
First district has not received sin
Gle one of the thirty five federal ap-
POI m me nts secure in the state by the
senatorial combination. Mr. Tawney
is ST NEW hat reckless in his state
ments. In the first place the sena-
tors have I OF secured thirty-tive fed
eral plums, so far as the people know.
A dozen will cover all of them, in
GLIDING MIR. Peterson. OF these, one,
a good foreign berth, went to the
First district. On the other hand the
Second district has looked for place
in vain until Mr.. Peterson was recon-
mended. He does acknowledge, how
ever, that one Of the successful ap.
pointees comes from the first district,
but says he was taken, not because
he was Republican residing in the
first district, but because he was the
representative member of foreign
and patriotic race Of people, residing
principally in the northwest, who are
always loyal to the Republican party.
We hardly think that this is true. If
one started in he could as easily figure
out some reason why all Of the other
federal appointments should not be
credited to the places in which they
reside, and it would as surely apply
in the case of Mr. Peterson who be-
longs to the same "patriOtic race of
PEE pie" as to the appOintee from the
First district.
In calling attention to what he
feels is unfair treatment of the
first district, Mr.. Tawney falls
into another little inaccuracy when
he says it gave Mckinley 5000 more
majority than any other district in
the state. The official returns show
McKinley's majority there to have
been a little over 1900 while the
second district rolled up majority of
little over 10000 or about
the second district has always
been looked upon as the stronghold of
Repub 'icanism, has never sent other
than RePubl can to congress yet un-
til the recommendations of Senator
Peterson it had received nothing
from the national administration, and
is totally ignored by the party in
state affairs.
The Free Press, however, will agree
with Mr.. Tawney that in the division
of patronage, the country has not
been anything like fairly treated and
the cities have been given more than
their share. But it seems that about
the only thing that can be done is tt
grin and bear it,"

DON'T BE IN Il HURRY.

All reports from the Clondyke
mining district Indicate that it is the
greatest gold field ever discovered.
That fact, however, should not be
allowed to tempt any man to aban-
don fairly remunerative position
and join the Amy of treasure seek
ers that is already being recruited in
every part of the United States and
Canada. For those who tell of the
vast wealth of this new Eldorado also
state that the most desirable ground
has been staked off, and that the new
arrival who proposes to take up a
claim worth working must either
purchase one from its original locator
or 60 prospecting for one in an un-
explored region. And until more
particulars are received anent the
Typographical geological aspects of
the country surrounding the Clon-
dyke, it might not be wise to hazard
much on the probability of the heavy
gold derosit covering an extensive
territory. That they do not is indi-
Gated by the fact that the country
both north and south of Dawson
City has failed to reward to any
startling extent those who have pros
pected it. The history of gold min
ing shows that such heavy finds as
those reported from the Clondyke
ale confined 10 limited areas.
1t would be we'll for the man of
small means to wait awhile, anyway,
before starting for the Yukon. The
open season up there ends in Septem-
Der, and after that it will be impossi-
ble to prosecute prospecting with any
degree of facility until next May.
By that time much more truth will
be known about the present and
future of the Clondyke region than
has ever been told. Trustworthy
newspaper representatives and others
who have neither mining claims nor
town lots for sale are now en- route
to the land of promise, and their re-
ports will make very interesting WIN
ter reading.
Meantime the hidden gold of the
Alaskan wilds will neither take wings
and fly away nor be melted by solar
heat. For many centuries it has
been affording an example of waiting
which most of its would-be possessors
could now emulate to their own ad-
vantage.

Il REST NEEDED.

The senate and house committees
of conference have met, and by con-
cessions on both sides have reached
an understanding that will permit
the passage of the tariff bill within a
week. This is indeed good news,
for any certain condition is better
than the uncertainty that has held
sway fer the past four months. 1t is
to be hoped that the new law will
produce sufficient revenue for the
needs of the government, and that
the country may have a few years
rest from tariff agitation. Every
change, every proposed change of
the tariff laws unsettles business, sets
spectators at work, and raises the
dickens with the country generally.
Business requires not only an unva-
rying medium of exchange, but it
requires unchanging laws. Only
with these two conditions will con-
servative business men use their
money. Under other conditions
business is no longer business, but
speculatiDg and gambling.
The country will take a long
breath of relief when the bill is
passed, and it is sincerely hoped that
when 1t is passed our people will be
let alone to work out their one sal
walton. They can and will do it all
right if given fhe opportunity, and
letting the tariff laws alone will fur
nish it.

out TO Mt. Adams to find mine, or
the mine which an old Dutchman
used to go to every summer out in
that section. The old Dutchman
was no myth, having lived here, and
it is true that he used to go out to
the Mt. Adams neighborhood. HIS
mine, however, we believe to have
existed principally in his head. The
writer hereof has taken considerable
pains to trace the old fellow, and the
stories concerning him. He used to
go out every summer, and on sew
eral occasions took parties with him
as far as Trout lake, or even beyond
it, but always gave them the slip.
We believe the story of his finding a
mine is untrue, for he never had any
gold. From Lalf an ounce TO an
ounce was as much as he ever could
show after one of his trips, and that
amount can be gathered in that
neighborhood at any time within
month, The truth, we think, is that
the old fellow was ''little off, and
the fellows who go hunting his NINE
will find that they have been fooled.
