KELLY is REFLECTED.
Library Board Finally Names the
Old Secretary.

The handicap given James Smith, candi-
date for secretary of the library, by reason Of
his being Endorsed for the position by Mayor
Doran may or may not have lost him the
place At any rate, he did not get the plum,
and W. H. Kelly reelected, as President
Ramsey informed him, by unanimous vote.
AS Secretary Kelly announced for the first
time since the organization of the board,
there was full meeting of the members.
President Ramsey was trifie late, but eX-
cused himself on the plea that he had been
attending the Old Settlers banquet. Under
the head of unfinished business the election
of a secretary, which was postponed at the
last meeting, was taken up.
Director Bean moved that the board go into
executive session and Director Wright wanted
the first ballot to be an informal one. Direc-
tor Bean renewed his motion for an executive
session, and, this having been agreed on, the
reporters and Secretary Kelly retired from
the room, the point being made that an ex-
ecutive session meant only members Of the
board to be present. 1t took but two ballots
one, showed w. H. Kelly 5, Prof. Farms
worth 2, James Smith 2. The second, formal
one, gave Kelly 8, Smith 4. The friends of
Mr.. Smith, realizing that it was all over,
turned in and made the election Of w. H.
Kelly unanimous. The door was then opened
and President Ramsey informed Mr.. Kelly
that he had been unanimously elected on the
final ballot as secretary of the board. Mr..
Kelly thanked the directors and said they
would have to take him with all his faults.

INTERNATIONAL TIT FOR TAT.

The individuals in any nation, at any
time, who, when their enemy smites
them on one cheek, turn the other to
him for another blow, are never so
many as to make such the average dis
position of the people. So, as nations
are but the average Of their units, and
their governments are but opponents of
the average, none Of them have at
tanned the degree of meekness enjoined
by the founder of Christianity twenty
centuries ago. Men, smitten on the
cheek by an adversary, either strike
back quick and hard or run away. and
their governments do the same. When
the legislation of one nation is direct
ed against the people or the industries
Of another there is usually diligent
search for some vulnerable point in the
offenders system that pin can be
stuck into or a lance thrust given. This
is human nature as it is and, for all
the progress visible over range Of
centuries, as it will be far away in the
future.
If our congress, when 1t passed the
immigration bill which Mr.. Cleveland
so justifably vetoed, thought that the
Canadians, against whom it was espe-
cially directed, would submit placidly
to the insult with Chinese docility, it
has been disillusioned. If it is not de-
sirable that Canadians should come
over the border, seeking employment
and returning with their savings to the
Dominion, it is very much more desir-
able. from the Canadian point of view,
that gold and silver-seeking Yankees
should not have access to the new
fields Of those metals in the mountains
of British Columbia, to dig the precious
ores and carry their acquired wealth
back to the United States. So the
legislature Of that province made quick
retort to the immigration bill with the
passage of an act restricting the own
ership Of mines to citizens Of the prov
ince This is similar In motive and
purpose to the alien land law Of our
own state that forbids any alien hold
ing land and requiring him, where he
has acquired it through an unpaid loan
on mortgage, to get rid Of 1t within
specified time under penalty Of forfeit
ure to the state.
With this anti-a1ien disposition thus
shown in our immigration bills and
acts and our alien land laws, the out
burst of indignation at the self-same
act Of the Dominion province seems to
us to be entirely unjustifiable. They
are doing to us what we have done or
purposed doing to them; applying the
more human version Of the golden rule
by doing unto others what they have
done unto u.s. There is Indignation
among the uitlanders in the Kootenai
at this treatment; they talk protesting
ly Of their vested rights; Of money in
vested in mines under laws giving
them security now removed, and there
is some talk Of representations having
been made to our department of state
asking it's intercession. But, while we

TEN NURSES GRADUATE.
commencement Night at the City
Hospital.

Ten young ladies clad in dresses of i'm
maculate white, their heads surmounted by
dainty white caps, were the observed of all
observers at the city hospital last night. In
the presence of an audience of friends and
others equally interested in the city hos
pital including the members Of the board Of
control, these young women received their
diplomas as trained nurses. There were ten

The occasion was notable the commence

Enlistment of training schools for nurses.
He spoke OF the memorable deeds of Florence
Nightingale, the real founder of the nurses
training schools in England and referred to

the first training school of the kind in this
country.
After Mrs. D. W. Lily had sung soprano
solo, Dr.. Ancker presented each member of
the graduating class with her diploma prefac-
ing the presentation with neat little speech
reminiscent of their experiences in the train

tenor solos. after which DR.. A. E. Senkler
addressed the graduating class. After con-
graduating them upon receiving their diplo-
mas and paying them a sincere tribute for
the noble and self-sacrifcing mission they
had chosen, DR.. Senkler closed with few
words Of earnest advice. He 5uunseled the

TT Is A DILEMMA.

The dilemma in which Mr. Mckinley
is said to find himself with regard to
the recognition of Cuban belligerency
is one which was pointed out in these
columns long ago, and insisted upon in
congress by all the members who were
capable of discussing this question
sanely. 1t is that there is nothing to
recognize except on paper. The war
in Cuba has degenerated into strug-
gle between skirmishing bands of guer-
rillas on either side. Such of the Span
ish forces as have escaped the ravages
of fever are engaged in turning the
cities that they hold into convict
camps, where the peaceful people who
have been driven into them may starve
with certainty and dispatch. There are
many who do not take the field, but
follow the plan of the Cubans them
selves of making dashes into the coun-
try wherever they learn that few
insurgents are collected, dispensing
them and returning to headquarters.
The patriot forces have their Businesses
in the mountains. and they do not at
tempt any general engagements, but
simply fall upon and harass the Span
iards wherever they may be, making
a sure and quick retreat. They do
not have anything that could be called
government, because there is no au-
thority, nor any Of the machinery of
authority in the whole island of Cuba
outside of the military lines. The
Glob e insisted upon it, during the
whole course of this Cuban debate
that has dragged itself out over
year, that recognition" must be an
empty and meaningless farce. There
is no person to whom such recognition
can be addressed officially, there is no
government to take advantage of it,
and such resolution, if passed. would
not be worth waste paper. There is no
reason to think, however, that it will
pass, because Mr.. Reed stands guard in
the house to prevent it from reaching
and embarrassing Mr. Mckinley.
In the white house, as in the halls
of congress, we have seen or heard
nothing yet that indicates a sincere
and honest desire to help the people of
Cuba that does not find its expression
in buncombe orations or in resolutions
of recognition that will give no help
to the Cuban cause. Now, as from
the beginning, the only human, pat
riotic or even decent policy for this
country was either to keep it's hands
petition to Havana to establish the
Cuban people in a government and in
the enjoyment of rights of their own.
Sooner or later, it all reduces itself
to this, and neither Republicans nor
Democrats, neither lingo nor advocate
of ace-at-any-price, have ever been
willing to make honest choice. 1t would
serve the administration right if it
were to be brought face to face with
this dilemma, however for the Republi-
can party deliberately created it as an
issue to make capital against the
enemy. With the feeling that has been
aroused in this country by fuller
understanding of Spanish atrocities in
Cuba, Mr. Mckinley will find the ques-
ton an unpleasant one and one upon
which action cannot be deferred for
ever.
