AS to the MOnOpOlist's Organ Position.

The Albuquerque Democrat and the
Phoenix Gazette, the leading Democratic
papers of the two territories, each are in
dreadful state of mind. Before the
legislature of each territory is bill pro-
viding for the printing of the laws of the
territory, much needed piece of work.
for the present laws are out of print, and
it is impossible in many communities to
tell what the laws are. Both papers vio-
lently oppose this work and call the pro.
posed law job and steal, not because
the work should not be done, but because
some other print shop is going to do it.
An eminent divine once gave the follow
ing distinction between orthodoxy and
heterodoxy: Orthodoxy is my doxy;
heterodoxy is someone else's doxy."
These papers would probably give the
following definition: "Legislative print.
ing done in our shop is legitimate and
proper, done in some other shop it is a
job and steal."-Lordsburg Liberal.

Columbus, O., Nov. 6.-The only i'm
portant development in the status of
the new general assembly today vas
the decision in the Wood county case,
which once more removes that county
from the doubtful list to the Republic
can column. The court instructed the
election supervisors of Wood county
to canvass the returns from the dis
puted precinct, which gives the cleo
ton to Captain o. P. Norris, the Re
publican candidate for representative,
by 81 plurality. This news was re-
ceived by Chairman Nash of the Re
publican state committee with evident
satisfaction, though it was not differ
ent from what he had expected. The
decision had a significance which could
not be expressed inasmuch as it put
an end to the talk of other contests on
the same ground.
Chairman Nash does not believe the
case will be appealed by the Demo-
Gratis, since the law in the case is plain.
There was some talk of an Injunction
against the supervisors, but it was not
confirmed. Should no further changes
be made, the Republicans will have five
majority on joint ballot, as claimed by
Chairman Nash.
The headquarters of the Democratic
state committee. at the Great Southern,
was being dismantled today, only one
room being retained, for the use Of
Secretary Karb and Allen o. Myers.
In an interview today Mr.. Myers said:
THE situation is the same now as it
was Wednesday morning. The Demo-
Gratis have the senate by majority of
two. The house stands 50 Republicans
to 81 Democrats McConville will go
on claiming until he goes back to
Washington, but he won't do any good.
We are beaten, and l knew it Wednes-
day morning.
MIR. Myers was very bitter in his de-
nunciation of Chairman McCOnville,
and blamed him for the defeat of the
Democrats, both on the legislative and
state tickets. Mr.. Myers charged that
Mr.. McConville tried to defeat Chap
man because Chapman would not
pledge himself to certain appointments,
and that he did not work for the sue
cess of the legislative ticket.
The official counting in some counties
Will continue next week, but there has
/ been such close watching that no ma
terial changes are expected. The indi-
/ cations are the senate viii stand 19
/ Democrats and II Republicans and the
/ house VIII have 81 Democrats and IS
Republicans
1 There may be several contested seats,
/ but these cannot be considered till the
] legislature meets, the first Monday in
January next.
There has been so much talk about
/ combines that it is certain that the
! Republicans viii hold a joint caucus
for the nomination of candidate fol
senator, and Hanna will no doubt be
the caucus nominee. 1t is thought that
as the regular nominee, there will be
no trouble about his election. There
are some Republicans not members OF
the legislature, who are said to be al
work for an anti-Hanna combine, but
none of the members are known to IA
vor such a movement.

This report published as a senate docu-
meat
Senator Cannon declined to discuss
the WOlcOtt commission. saying he had
expressed his views freely about it some
months ago. and it would be hardly
courtesy to do more now, until the COM
mission makes its report.
Mr.. Cannon said: we had good OPP
porturities for making the observa-
tons which We're the object of our
journey to the orient. Numerous con-
ferences We're had with the leading
men of Japan-the men through whose
influence that empire adopted what it
calls the gold standard. In addition to
this. we examined the industries of the
country, those to which have been APP
piled the modern methods and the in
Vulnerable home industries which are
carried on now as in centuries gone.
DESTROYED HER ADVANTAGE.
There is very little to fear at pres
ent from the competition of Japan in
manufactures. She has destroyed much
of her advantage by adopting a policy
which was dictated from England.
What with her vast standing army and
with an increase of taxation such as is
instituted by the present administra-
lion in Japan. there are not the same
he Of
ital il large factory systems. Besides.
the difference of exchange is now in
favor of China to the extent of nearly
70 per cent, and as the latter empire is
likely TO remain on the silver basis.
the stimulus to oriental manufacturing
is largely in China.
IN the latter empire we conferred
with Ii Hung Chang and other leading
statesmen, officials and financiers. We
traversed the country as far as the
great wall and beyond, and examined
into the agricultural situation. We
found among the ruling classes a deter
mination to maintain silver as the basis
for their money system, and an eXpec-
tation that large developments of re-
sources would quickly ensue.
THE GOLD STANDARD.
why did Japan go to the gold stand
ard?"
Tor the same reason that other ma
tons, dominated by the sentiment of
powerful ffnanciers, rather than by the
desire for popular welfare, have gone
to the gold standard. The classes with
fixed incomes, the classes with money
loaned at fixed rates Of interest, the
classes who now have power and do not
wish to see that power disseminated
mere widely, saw in the rapid develop
rnents of energy and industry in Japan
under the silver standard a menace to
the concentrated wealth and the priv
ileges arising therefrom; saw in it a
menace 20 autocracy; saw in il the
eventual overthrow Of monarchical in
stitrtions by the people enfranchised
from poverty. and therefore they deter

visors must certify returns OF Center
township This. elects Norris, Repub-
lican candidate for representative.
Judge Parker holds that the func-
lions of the board of elections are sim
ply ministerial; that they must certify
to the vote as they find II without
going behind the returns; that the
question as to whether provisions of,
the law were not complied with in
having the polling booth outside the
boundaries of Center township pre-
cinct, and whether, if so, it invahdates
the ballots there cast, must be decided
by the courts or by the legislature
itself.
The essential part of Judge Parker's
decision is as follows:
My views and conclusions make it
unnecessary to consider the question
whether the polling place was located
as required by law or the question of
the effect upon the vote if it was not
so located, 1 am of the opinion that
you are not authorized by law to pass
upon these questions; that acting as d
county canvassing board under section
1882. revised statutes, your duties are
purely ministerial.
That the duties of the canvassing
board under section 29S2 are purely
ministerial is expressly decided by the
supreme court of Ohio in the case of
Dalton, clerk, VS.. the state ex rel Rich
ardson, 43 0. s. 652 The law is stated
in the syllabus as follows:
Under the provisions of section 1881
of the revised statutes defining the
duties of canVasserS of election returns,
which require that in making the alb
stracts of votes they shall not decide
upon the validity of the returns, but
shall be governed by the number of
votes stated in the pon books" the
duties of such canvassers are merely
ministerial and they have no power
to decide such returns or any part of
them invalid by reason of fraud at the
election or in the returns thereof as
made to the clerk and have no power
to exclude such returns, or any part
thereof, from the count fer such rea-
sons.
In the case of the state ex rel VS.

vision is redffirmed by the supreme
court.

action of the township trustees in To-

petus was given to the investment of
capital and the establishment of large

statesmen of China will not permit any
change in the financial system by
which these advantages shall be lost.

AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS.
How about agriculture?"
In both Japan and China we found
the agricultural population more pros
porous than it has ever been in the his
tory of the empires. They sell their
distinctive agricultural products to
other lands at as good a price as they
ever received, while the distinctive ag-
ricultural products of our own coun-
try and Europe have been. with the
exception OF occasional alterations in
wheat steadily falling. In Japan they
use American wheat. I asked a we'll
informed gentleman why they did not
raise their own breadstuffs. and he re-
piled that they found it more profitable
to raise rice and sell it to the world,
especially so long as they could buy
American wheat at go cents per bushel.
This was before the sudden rise in the
wheat price. Some of the intelligent
Tor 1ac-a ov11 ~.
served the steady downward trend in
the prices of our cereals, and notwith-
standing an occasional fluctuation, they
believed that their labor at 20 cents a
day in their money or 10 cents per day
in our money, could bette, afford to buy
American wheat than to raise their
own breadstuffs. OF course, back in the

STAGE HOLD-UP IN IDAHO.
Masked Men Loot the Registered
Mail-Particulars Meagre.
Especial to The Herald.l

Boise, Ida, Nov. 6.-Word has been
received here that the stage running
between Warrens and Meadows was
held up and robbed by masked men.
Owing to the isolation of the district
the facts concerning the hold-up are
meager, but it is learned that the
registered mail was looted. How much
was secured is not known, but just at
this time of the year work at the
Warrens mines is closing down, so far
as the output is concerned, and con-
siderable money is transmitted in the
registered mail.
A posse is on the trail of the ban
dts.
The driver, Homer Levander, was
compelled to cut open the mail sacks
and sort over the mail for the regis
tered packages. He was then ordered
to move on. taking the other mail.

mined to do, by a mere change in the
money system, what all other forces
would have failed to do, TO throw back
the progressive determination of the
people, reduce them to more AFFECT con-
ditions and thus hold sway over them

AS 1 remarked in the beginning, /
do not wish to anticipate the formal re-
port which viii be made on this sub
ject, nor would it be proper now to
quote the exact sentiments expressed to
Us by distinguished men in Japan, but
suffice it to say that some of them ut
cred statements to justify the forego-
ing remarks, and did SO with no appar-
ent reluctance. The japanese are a pa
tent. painstaking, artistic, polite and
chivalrous peopie-inoculated with a
most warlike spirit, with present high
devotion to the emperor, but with reVo-
utiOnary sentiments, against the inf1u-
ences which surround the court They
are not. as individuals, the equal of the
Chinese, but inasmuch as they are
united in the purpose to a considerable
extent, they seem much more powerful
to the world. The rulers of Japan, not
including the emperor, since he is not
the real ruler, are not aware of these
tendencies n the race and fear their
unrestricted operation.
In my judgment Japan has almost
destroyed herself by attempting to
maintain the sold standard. Already she
finds it more difficult to obtain loans
of money than she expected. She has
even deferred the date when the gold
standard shall go into operation. And it
begins to look as if the nobility which
prompted the change in the money
standard already stood appalled, at the
probable effects.
