A DIPHANOUS MANTLE

Senator Mantle of Montana, urging
that the duties on wool be raised in the
tariff schedule, said Friday:
ITO my mind the importation of
cheap goods produced by ill-paid and
degraded labor which comes into COM
petition with like products of our coun-
try, without the payment of adequate
protective rates, if possible. is more
harmful than the importation of the
cheap laborer himself
The senator's eyes have opened too
late. For many years the Republican
party built a huge tariff wall around
American products. while it permittei !
the free immigration of European pau
per labor to compete with American la
Dor in the manufacture of those pro-
ducts. The manufacturer and the in
vesting capitalist were protected, but
the workingman was not. Goods were
made here ard sold at protected prices,
and the workingman consumer had to
pay those prices; but his wages were
fixed by the free competition of the
pauper and contract labor of Europe.
This condition Is not now what it

JUDICIAL GENERALIZATION

All courts are more or less disposed to
enlarge their jurisdiction. and this dis
position has been quite as manifest on
the part of the Federal courts as any
others. In general language, they have
jurisdiction only of Federal questions
but they have stretched constructions
of constitution and laws until their pow
ers comprehend what seems not to have
been contemplated by the founders of
the government. 1t has often been sadi
that the supreme court Of the United
States has made more constitution than
the convention which framed the origin
al, and the legislatures of the states
which ratified the fifteen amendments.
1t has done more to centralize power
than all other branches of the national
government.
The liberal disposition of the Federal
courts to take jurisdiction of questions
and cases has led to the practice of ap-
pealing to them whenever there is dis
satisfaction with the judgments and
findings of the state courts, and attor-
neys have become geniuses in discover
ing and inventing what may be called
Federal questions.
There is no disposition to unduly re-
strict the jurisdiction and powers of
the Federal courts but is there not dan
ger that they may supplant state courts
in their exclusive jurisdiction over ques-
tions that are purely local? The states
are charged with the duty of preserving
peace and order and Of protecting life
and property within their respective ter
ritorial limits, and interference with
them by the Federal authorities tends
to weaken them and impair their effect
iveness. 1t is wiseet that vigor should
be encouraged on the part of the general
and state governments in their respect
i've spheres.
The original doctrine was that the
decisions of the highest judicial court
of a etate as to its own constitution
and laws were binding upon the Fed
eral courts, and nominally that is the
doctrine now, but latterly these decis-
ions have been less restricted than in
the early history of the nation, and Il
is rapidly becoming the practice to dis
regard them altogether. In this way
state autonomy is more and more cir
cumscribed and power is more and more
cen ntralized.
Our theory has been that it is best
that the adoption and regula tion of
internal state policies should be left to
the people. Conditions are various and
probably it is not wisest that the same
system should exist in all the states.
While the general government should
exercise its proper functions to a full
extent. care should be taken that state
authority shall not be trenched upon
More especially is this important in re-
gard to the enforcement of the laws
against crime.

A FAMILY FEUD

If accounts as published are true,
Kaiser Wilhelm is at loggerheads with
the government Of his grandmamma,
and he is giving her no inccnsiderable
worry in her declining years. The young
man seems to have no respect for age.
and is uninfluenced by the ties of con-
sanguinity. He has allied himself with
the czar of all the Ruesias, though he
must know that the house of Romanoff
has long been the most active foe to the
British nation.
Mr.. Gladstone has denounced czar and
kaiser as two young despots, and no
doubt he voices the sentiment Of the
great mother queen and of the British
public.
The young kaiser ought to act as a
dutiful grandson, and he should realize
that feud in a royal family is as un-
seemly as in a family of common people,
and, on the other hand, if her govern
ment has wronged her lineal descendant,
the grandmamma should compel the
making of amends 1t is useless, how
ever, to moralize on this subject, for in
dealing with each other European gov
ernments do not regard propriety or
moral principles.
1t seems that in the Greco Turkish i'm
broglio Germany ie more Turk than
Great Britain ever has been, and it is
surprising that the British government
is more favorable to Greece than any
other European power, but she will
hardly go so far as to cause impairment
of the value of Turkish bonds held by
Engliehmen. Though czar and kaiser
stand behind the Turk, yet the influence
of Great Britain will at last prevail
for he is more afraid of losing credit
with the British money lenders thau
he is OF Russian and German bayonets.

Shall We Acknowledge the Corn ?

To the Editor OF the Los Angeles Her
aid: Judge Widney's argument is sim
pie and concise: when you are licked,
throw up the sponge" We are un-
doubtedly licked, and why do we now
insist upon being still further. distigured?
The ownership of his sportation in
terests gives Huntington more political
power than the control of the million of
votes held by the people of California.
Money rules this nation, and the sooner
we get rid of the delusion that it doesn't,
the better.
1t is positively refreshing to hear the
judge utter these most palpable truths
ae to our political condition, after one
istens SO long to the drivel of politicians
about this being government Of for and
by the people.
Huntington has shown US that he can
Indefinitely delay the Improvement of
San Pedro. and, as the judge pertinently
remarks, even If it is ultimately done, he
can easily make it costly, useless toy
by simply refusing to use it. Another
point that might have been made in his
able and lucid argument is that lorg be-
fore any harbor is completed Hunting

in every line of business, and in nothing
more than the railroad business. Con-
solidation is now the watchword. With
one combination controlling the future.
the argument of San Pedros facilita ting

The ownership of the railways Is the
bludgeon in the hands of Huntington
that makes us quail before him. Let
this ownership vest in the people. and
then Huntington will do the quailing

/ The kaiser ID an ambittonue younG
man and has great amount Of conf
dence in himself. and he evidently does
not want the suspicion entertained that
he Is at all Influenced by his mammals
relations. Besides this. there IL pros
pect of collision between Germany and
Great Britain in Africa, where the two
countries have contiguous possessions.
Germany has lately given evidence that
she has an ambition for territorial ag-
grandizement. Great Britain Is already
strong in South Africa. and appearances
indicate a purpose to still further ex-
tend her dominion in that part OF the
African continent. The Transvaal, as
is stated, possesses s7OO. .00o. 900 of gold
already visible, and how much more re-
mains hidden is a matter Of conjecture.
The British are already threatening the
Beers by massing troops in the vicinity
of their country with the intention, it
is supposed. of eeizing the gold fields by
force and appropria ting the productions
to themselves. Wherever there is gold
the British are to be found. and they
neglect the use Of no means necessary
to it's acquisition.
The kaiser does not like this move
ment Of the British and he desires to
resist it, for the subjugatfon OF the
Transvaal will bring the British uncom-
fortably close to his African possessions.
He cannot compete with them on the
sea, nor can he reach them on the land.
Were he to detach from his army any
considerable force to help the Beers, he
has good reason for fearing that the
French would take advantage of the
opportunity for recovering Alsace and
Lorraine. Hence the kaiser sees no al
tentative except to ally himself with the
czar and to preserve the entente cor
dale with the Austrian government.
With the support of Germany, the idea
is that the czar will push his Asiatic en-
terprises to an extent that will not only
annoy but endanger British interests in
that continent.
The kaiser is abnormally active, and
If he is not verging on insanity judg-
ing from the efforts he is making to in
crease his military and naval strength,
he has in contemplation some scheme
for the aggrandizement of his empire.

Over and over again The Herald has
exposed the dangerous prevalence and
demoralizing influence of the Chinese
lotteries in this city. The authorities
have at length apparently awakened to
the fact that the law is being flagrantly
broken every day. About three months
ago The Herald very lucidly explained
that 1t was defect in the administra-
ton Of the law that was at the root of
its constant violation. There has been
tacit understanding between the dis
trict attorneys Office and the Chinese
gamblers that the latter would not call
for jury trial If nominal fine were
imposed, and this agreement has simply
provided the lotteries with an irregular
system of license. Over and over again
the police have attempted to secure the
imposition Of adequate fines. stating
that they would secure a jury of rep
resentative business men, but the dis
trict attorney has continued to main
tain that it would be impossible to con-
vict Chinese gambler by jury, and
that therefore nominal fine was the
only mode of prosecution, besides insur.
ing a certain revenue for the city.

The Old and Ever Reliable State Fair.

Others may make greater claims, but no
society comes nearer representing the best
of Names stock, crops and manufactured
products than the old State Fair which
opens at Lewiston Aug. 30th to close Sept.
Sd. Instead of paying three quarters of its
awards for races it distributes the greater
bulk among exhibitors. At the same time
no fair is better patronized by horsemen
than this, as they know they can have their
earnings as soon as the race closes. The as
surances of larger horse, stock, poultry,
sheep and crop exhibits, this year pleases
the officers. Great improvement has been
made at the grounds. The marvel of the
century, the horseless wagon race, between
three or more electric carriages will be
novelty not to be lost by any. The great
list of prizes for amateur photographs pleases
the kodak lovers everywhere, who should
secure list and make full exhibit. Some
thing new and startling is promised in the
line of attractions, both for the grounds and
City Hall If you are going to any fair you
surely will not want to miss the old Maine

all have grand time. Take your vacation
