YIN HILLS DEAL.
His Road and the Northern Pacific
Come to Terms.

New York, Aug. "a conference in
this city has settled in a way that is
said to be satisfactory to all con-
cerned the interests of the North
ern Pacific and and the Great North
ern railroads. 1t was decided that
an operating man should be made
president of the Northern Pacific and
that Daniel S. Lamont should be vice
president and take an active part in
the management of the Northern Pa
cific property. Announcement will be
made within a fortnight of the de-
tails of the adjustment of the rela
tons between these companies, to-
gether with the name of the new pres
ident. The latter has already been
selected and is connected with an
eastern system in which j. p. Morgan
& Co. are largely interested. The adj
Justment is one regarded as harmon
ling all the differences of manage
n nt in the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern.
The Evening Post says The pub
lished report that Frederick d. Under
wood, president of the Minneapolis, St
Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Co is to be
chosen president of the Northern Pa
ciiic can not be officially confirmed
but there is an unofficial statement in
dicating that the report had in it
some truth.

All Very Peaceful
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 3.-The striking
miners have broken all records both
as to numbers attending their mass
meetings and the excellent order and
law abiding behavior they exhibited
They have been subject to the control
of the leaders who, profting by former
experiences, have so forcibly instilled
into the minds of their followers the
stupidity of law breaking, that the
peaceful attitude and actions of the
strikers have been a source OF wonder
to all prophets who have from day to
day predicted dire happenings. A
mass meeting of miners at McRea's
school house yesterday was the great
est during the strike and probably the
largest gathering Of the kind ever
seen in Allegheny county. More than
5000 striking miners gathered for an
all-day session and labor leaders har
rangued them in various tongues, while
bands of music served to stir up the
enthusiasm to the highest pitch. The
speeches were not of an intlammatory
character and the big crowd was or
derby the whole day. It was an
nounced that but 20 men were at work
in the Plum Creek mines while only
two or three were in the Sandy Creek
mine. The feeling in camp was one
of triumph. The miners claim that
they are on the high road to success
and the enthusiasm which was seem
ingly slumbering Sunday was at
fever heat.
j. T, Mccoy, a prominent member of
the typographical union, extended the
sympathy and financial support of the
printers Of the country and said the
organization had made a per capita
assessment for five weeks for the ben
eft of the strikers.

ONE OF the most important cases to
rome before the present term OF the dis
trict court is that Of J. G. Brady against
John +. Yost. 1t is suit for the per
Torrance Of contract by which Yost
agreed to sell Brady he Silver Blade.
The articles OF agreement provide for
the payment to Yost Of 300 ON or be-
fore delivery Of possession Of the plant
and $500 within one year thereafter.
Brady claims to have rendered payment
Rcc ording to agreement, which was re-
fused by Yost. There are a numb,r of
other provisions in the agreement that
seem to make it an iron clad contract
and Brady asks for judgment, stating in
his complaint that the defendant is
wholly insolvent and unable to respond
IN damages, or to satisfy any judgment
at Law which this plaintiff might recov-
er against him 10 said action for breach
OF said contract. Wherefore, the plain.
tiff demands judgment that the defend
ant be decreed to cell and convey and
turn over the possession Of the property
and franchises according to the terms Of
said agreement" Yost says there are
two sides 10 the case and the result will
b watched with interest.

ed the county clerk 1910 as quarterly
salary for deputy. James Woodward,
who objected to this allowance, appeal
ed from tie action OF the board to the
district court. This court sustained the

the judgment. The opinion says in
part: THE evident intention Of the

the cost Of the Office Of the clerk Of the
court to the fees provided for by law tx-
eept when such fees did not amount 10

SHALL THE TOWN REpuDlArEq

The warrant question is still the chiei
topic Of discussion sniong our cilIens.
Tie great majority Of The taxpayers
have signed petitions asking the board
Of trustees to pass the ordinance pub
lished in the Pass last week. As the
hoard is elected to represent the people.
We do not see how its members can do
otherwise than to comply With the re-
quest. Some OF the members seem to
think it matter orly OF saving the
town some money by permitting the
treasurer to offer from IS cents to par
for warrants without interest. There is
~ moral obligation in the matter that
should not lie overlooked. The credit
OF the town is at stake and the board Of
trustees owe it to tine people to see that
it. credit is maintained. Some say that
the Flood warrants were paid ut dis
count, hut that has no bearing on this
case. Their legality was questioned and
we were in favor OF having the court
pass on them, and compromise was
accepted only to save the more expen-
sive litigation. But the legality OF the
warrants now outstanding is unqnes'
toned and the people want them paid
according to law and have so pe,itiOne d
the board, and the board should grant
their request. So long as the matter Is
left open and the treasurer is permitted
10 arbitrarily pay warrants at such
prices as he may set fit to offer, just sc
long will the town be kept in state o
turmoil and contention. by passing thC
ordinance all cause for strife will cease
the towns credit will be saved and war
rant holders receive what is justly due
them. All talk OF setting aside thu
charter il the orlinsnce is passed ii
merely an attemp, to force the b ard Il
kill the measure by threats and intimi
dation. The charter is as solid as thu
rock OF Gibralter. II has been approves
by 10th the district and supreme cour
and legalized by an act of the lcgislatur
and no one is so foolish as to attempt 4
set it aside. No town in the state ha
had more trouble over public matter
and C9ur d'Alene is rapidly gaining IN
envlable notoriety on the outside on &C
count OF these fights. People are ques
tiOning the honesty OF the town govern
Inent and that reflects on the honesty {
its citizens. We believe the board {
trustees will pass the ordinance and Sc
at rrst all disputes. II it fails to do so il
members must shoulder the responsible
ity OF expensive litigation that may la:
for years and ultimately result in
courts judgment against the town
Moscow and all other towns follow th
state law as laid down in the ordinanC
now before our board; the COMMITTEES al
governed by it and the state also pay
its warrants in the same way. The
Wy should CGur d'A.ene attempt al
other method?

CONSUL GENERAL TO SAMOA.
LHther w. Osborn Appointed to
Watch America Interests.

Luther W. Osborn has been appointed
consul general to Apia, Samoa, and is
intrusted with a special mission to that
country. During the Administration OF
President Cleveland, Samoa was under
a triparte protectorate. the parties TO which
We're the United States, Great Britain and
Germany. This country was represented
there by a consulate, and had been during
the tine of the pro5ectorate, but Mr..
Cleveland became convinced that Samoa
was OF tut little use to the United States,
and he practically abandoned the island
to Great Britain and Germany.
President Mckinley, however, rs strongly
impressed with the belief that Samoan in
tcrests should be guarded by the United
States. and It is his desire to have this
country resume its former position in the
protectorate For this reason he has ins
structed Gen. Osborn to ascertain the po-
litieaI conGition of the island at present,
how the provisions of the triparte agree
ment have been carried out, and what
will he necessary for the United States to
do to resume its former position in the
proteCtorate.
Gen, Osborn is also directed TO formulate
a plan for the Encouragement of an agree
ment by the three countries for the better
government of Samoa and the interests OF
the United States. 1t is probable that
n war vessel will be sent there soon to add
dignity to the position that the President
desires to regain in the government of the
island.

The Old Flag.

In the trampled dust of the street below,
Giittered the bayonets all arrow;
And the murfled tramp of a thousand feet
Deepened the roll of the war drums beat,
And the gray old veteran reused to hear,
With his followed palm to his deafened ear,
While the fife shriIled loud and the drurns
kept time
To the nations heart-throbs hid in rhyme
He lifted himself from his old armchair
And gazed on the regiment marching there
In the glory Of scarlet and blue and gold,
And in their midst, like tale half told,
The old flag fluttered, half shot away
In the storm and stress of a Judgment day
When through blood-dyed stream, by threat
ening crag,
The old line regiment carried the flag
The veteran looked, and his face turned
gray,
With The long dead light OF byEone day.
He fingered his old guns rusted lock,
He felt the oId-time shriH and shock,
And he threw back his head like a startled
stag,
As he saw the ghosts by the tatteredflag
Some were grizzled and bent and gray,
Some were bIithe and bonny and gay.
And their voices s hrilled through the martial
din
'.Comrade, comrade, where have We been?
Ye have missed the drill this many a
year.
The call rang sweet to his deafened ear,
And his soul broke loose from the crippled
That had weathered lifetime's sun and
storm;
And he joined the soldiers who never lag;
The ghosts that march by the tattered flag
