1t Is only fair to give the devil his due,
and many crimes have no doubt been laid
at the door OF Gen. Weyler that he not
only never committed but never contem-
plated. A case in point is the imprison-
ment and escape Of Senorita Clsneros
She was arrested and Jailed because she
was implicated in the instruction on the
Isle Of Pines. She acknowledged her com
pllcity. and her apprehension and forced
detention by the Spanish government
must be regarded as strictly within its
proper authority. Consul-General Lee tes-
tiles that she was well treated IN prison.
and that the cruelties and indlgnities TO
which she was said to have been sub
jected existed only in the imagination OF
yellow journals. The sensational press
has shsmetuliy and urscrupulously mis-
represented the Spanish government for
advertising purposes or.y. and II is to be
regretted that some way cannot he de-
vised to provide proper means Of redress.

Among the people who placed their
names on the register al the Rainier
Grand yesterday was S. Ban, japanese
merchant who makes his home at Port
land, or. He has spent a number or
years in the United States and reads.
writes and talks English with as much
ease as the average college man.
Mr. Ban is here for the purpose OF ar
ranking to increase the great trade that
is being built up between the United
States and the Orient, and as usual the
headquarters in this country will be in
Seattle.
Il propose to ship assorted salmon to
Japan" said Mr.. Ban 10 a Post-Intelli-
gencer reporter. 81 am satisfied that IL
will be paying move. Japan has fish
and in plenty. but the people want your
salmon and they are willing TO pay well
for them. The first shipment of 1000
boxes will be made on the next japanese
steamer. which viii leave this port in
November. Japans trade is growing all
the time, and the United States, particu-
larly the northwest, win benefit by it.
Japan Is moving all the time. Her lum-
Der and flour trade with this country is
much greater than ii was a year ago, and
IL win be much greater a year from now
than ii is today.
THE West is making rapid strides to-
wards prosperity. When / was here two
or three years ago Seattle was not as
lively as Ii is at present. In fact, am
very pleasantly surprised at the progress
your city is making"

PAY UP OR RESIGN.
Employees Of the Government Must
Pay Their just Debts.


1t is said from Washington that the eX-
ccutiVe will insist that persons in the civil
employ shall pay their just debts or cease
to be in ouch employment.
Civil servants of the United States are
in exceptionally favorable position to de-
feat their creditors. No garnishee process
lies against the government for the cOlleC-
tion of salary owed to an employe nor is
there any statute or any regulation of the
departments requiring that government em-
ployes shall pay their just debts or cease
to be servants of the government Such
employee as a rule are better compensated
than persons of like capacity in fields of
private endeayor They are supported
from the moneys of the people and it is
no more than right that they should be
compelled on pain of dismiasal promptly to
met their just debts
Any regulation by the executive which
will make habitual non-payment OF justly
contracted debts as much an offense calling
for punishment as habitual drunkenness or
any other infracton of the decencies and
proprieties of life will be a distinct gain
not only to the civil service, but to persons
who would have suffered from the exemption
which employees of the government have
enjoyed
An employe of the United States who does
not pay his just debts is a person whose
character cannot be good and whose useful
nes., to the public service is necessarily
abridged.

np,r,sn WoRKMEN AND SILVER
interview with john burns on Amer
icnn EinmncinI prOhIcms.


William e. Curtis. correspondent Of the
Chicago Record writing from London, gives
the following interview with John Burns
the distinguished labor leader OF Eng
land
"Are the workngmen of England much
interested in the silver question:
"No. There is nothing in it for them.
They are satisfied with a single gold stand
ard and believe it is the best system OF
finance that can be provided. They do not
want any change nor would your working
classes secure any permanent Improvement
by the adoption of a silver standard. 1t
would only be a temporary eXpedient for
a temporary distress. 1t would be better
for your congress to let your finances alone,
and permit capital and labor, and the value
of commodities, and the various kinds OF
currency to adjust themselves value to
value. by natural laws, rather tn. attempt
to create values BY legislation. That is i'm
possible. you cannot create anything by an
%%GtL o. congress. The cost of living and
tho price of labor will adjust themselves
to the demand and to the abundance or
The scarcity OF the necessaries of life.
Your trouble in the states has been due
to the enormous increase of cheap labor
and the multiplication of your capacity for
production. You charge your financial de-
preston to the repeal of your silver law,
when it is the result of natural causes, to-
gether with the excessive immigration
which has provided a surplus of labor, and
to the improvement of your machinery"
Then you don't take much stock in the
silver agitation?'
None at all. Both gold and silver have
been too much exalted. The gold men at
tribute to gold what is due to a worldwide
revival of trade. just as the silver men
attribute all their distress to the repeal of
the coinage law. Both are following the
wil-o'-the- wisps and will be landed in a
bog if they don't look out. The education
of the working classes, the development of
their taste and skill, manual training,
shorter hours, the raising of the age limit,
the exclusion Of married women and chill
dren from the factories, the abolition of
overtime and the recognition of the right
| of labor to organize for it's own protection,
are more important questions to your coun-
try, and will have more effect upon its
prosperity than the price of the product of
your silver mines"

RE EiSSTTRjNG

BY way of San Sebastian, Spain,
comes the reassuring statement of the
Japanese minister to that country. said
to have been made to the Spanish min
lister of foreign affairs and to several
foreign ambassadors. that he is CON
vinced there will be no war between the
United States and Japan and that
everything in connection with Hawaii
will be satisfactorily adjusted without
interfering with the policy of this coun-
try respecting those islands. Assuming
the truth of the report the statement of
the Japanese minister, who had Just
reached Spain from his own country, is
of course significant, although there has
never really been any substantial reason
for apprehending war between Japan
and the United States over Hawaii.
Neither country could afford to make
the sacrifices inseparabe from war for
those islands and we do not believe that
any thought OF war has ever been seri-
ously entertained by japanese states
men. All that Japan has asked is that
in the event of the annexation of Hawaii
to the United States the rights and inter.
ests of Japan in the islands, as already
secured by treaty, should be respected
and it is to be inferred from the minis
ters statement that Japan understands
this will be done.
