The Gate Wide Open.

1t is hoped that the important de-
cision of Judge Hanford, which allows
to )me in the wives ard children Of
Chinese merchants already in this
country, will be taken to the United
States supreme court and decision
rendered by that body as soon as pos
sible. In accordance with Judge
Hanford's decision the gates are
thrown open f9fss. 1imitless numbers of
the very class,a arat it is most desirable
to keep out-chinese women imported
into slavery. With the known capa-
bilities Of the, race for robust lying,
there will be no trouble in finding
husbands and fathers for the hordes
that will be sent here by the Chinese
slave dealers and companies. The
law prior to this decision was not proof
against the schemes of the smugglers,
and it can be imagined what condi-
tons will obtain under the ruling of
Judge Hanford.

OYSTERS AND TYPHOID.
The BivaIves Capable of Causing Dl
ease.

Inc BlValVeS capable OF Causing Dis
ease.
1t is not likely that the public will
read, or even see, the elaborate report
on the oyster and the typhoid question
just issued by the local government
board, and therefore we beg them not
to be alarmed at the comments that are.
appearing in the press on the subject.
Report does not warrant an alarmist
view. 1t contains, it is true, the album
dant justification for having raised the
question. Oysters are now proved, not
only in this country but in France and
the United States, to be capable of
causing, and to have actually caused,
typhoid fever. And the investigation
of the oyster beds Oh our coasts, carried
out by DR.. Bulstrode for the local gov
ernment board, shows that in several
places oysters are exposed to the risk
of conveying the disease They are
placed for fattening in shallow water
near the foreshore, and so close to sewer
outfalls as to be pretty constantly
bathed by sewage. The worst places in
this respect are Southend, Grimsby,
Shoreham and the Isle of Wight. On
the other hand, Whitstable and several
other famous beds are beyond suspi-
cion, while third class is only theoret-
ically open to danger. But the most
comforting point brought out by the
report is that even in the worst eases
the danger can be removed without
difficulty. Now that the government
has pointed the way, it is for the local
authorities to carry out the necessary
reforms, and for oyster consumers to
insist that they are carried out-St.

New YORK, Oct. 21.-The World
says: Russell Sage created a sensa.
ton in Wall street late yesterday by
announcing that he had been invited
by President Mckinley to form a syn
dictate on the basis of satisfying the
full government claim on the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Sage invited subscrip-
tions to plan to be hereafter brought
out by him for the foregoing object.
The payment of the government claim
in full is understood to be the first
condition in this plan.
Mr.. Sage's representatives announ-
ced last night that he had received
subscriptions for over S75 100000 with
in two hours of his announcement.
1t was rumored that he would con-
tlnue to receive subscriptions until his
plan was subscribed at least three
times over.
AS in the bond transaction, NJ.
Sage thinks there is unlimited capital
available for the settlement of the Pa
citic road debts without loss to the
government and without blind pools.

Keller's Cool Escape.

PORT TOWNSEND, Oct 22.-W. J.
Keller, who shot J. G. Luckey at Brin-
non last Sa turday afternoon is still at
large and nothing whatever has been
heard of him since he shouldered his
gun and told the neighbors assembled
at the scene of the shooting, that he
intended TO walk to Port Townsend
and give himself up. When Sheriff
Hamilton and Prosecuting Attorney
Fisher arrived at Brinnon Sunday
morning they were surprised to find
that Keller had been allowed to leave
and they readily guessed that he had
deceived his neighbors with his story
about giving himself up to the author
tiles.
The local justice of the peace and
constable were among those who saw
and talked with Keller after the shoot
ing, but all agreed that he could not
have been taken there, armed as he
was, and having a reputation for being
a chad" man and remarkably good
shot. Some of his neighbors seemed
to think that the shooting did not
amount to much anyway and the
sheri IF states that in spite of the fact
that the testimony heard before the
cOroner's jury went 10 show that the
murder was a most cold-blooded and
unprovoked CRIME, some of the mem
bers Of the jury apparently wanted to
bring In sort of compromise verdict.
One of F. a. Robinson's boats was
missing Saturday night and it is sup
posed that the murderer took it and
crossed over to Lone Rock and there
took the trail or Silverton, distance
OF four miles from which point boat
runs daily to Seattle. This route, if
he really took it, would have landed
him in Seattle Sunday forenoon, be-
fore it was realized that he was trying
to make his escape There are some
who think that Keller went direct to
Tacoma, where his family was visiting
at The time OF the shooting. Keller
always carried some money in his
pockets, and also had bank account
at Tacoma His wife and two step
daughters started for Brinnon as soon
as they heard OF the tragedy.
There are many on the other hand
who think that Keller has gone into
the mountains back OF Brinnon, where
he has brother who could shield him
for an indefinite period, perhaps, from
the officers. He could be cared for
there and could be kept practically
out of reach of his pursuers.
w. j. Keller is described as a man
30 years of age and weighs 152 pounds.
He has sandy complexion, with a
very red face, and always wore long
mustache, his mustache and hair be-
ing red His face is freckled and
there is dark line on his lower lip,
Which is very thick. He is nervous in
m inner. One Of his arms is said to
have tattoo mark.

The State Insurance Company

We have received several inquiries
of late concerning the status OF the
defunct State Insurance Co. Of Salem,
which did large business in this
county In order to obtain the facts
in the case the Economist interviewed
Deputy State Treasurer Bovine while
he was in the city last week. Mr..
Bovine said the tate holds securities,
consisting of mortgag es, warrants and
bonds, with face value of about $685.
600, but the m rtgages have so depre-
ciated in value that they will not re-
alize more than % per cent. of their
face. AS the time for filing claims
only expired on October 4, he could
not tell the amount Of the compl y s
liabilities in the state, but the state
ment made by the daily press tn at
Washington creditors would receive
80 per cent of their claims was greatly
exaggerated. Regarding the liability
of those who gave notes in payment
of premiums, Mr.. Bovine said that
they could only be collected for the
amount of premium due at the date
of the company's insolvency, notwith-
standing the fact that many the notes
have been sold to third parties-Mon-
tesanO Economist.

MEXICO'S GOLD.
Yellow Metal Fand May BE Made the Basis
for Change of Standard.

|
| for Change of Standard.
The action of the Mexican govern
ment at the cabinet meeting held on
Friday last has not yet been made Of
| ficially public. II ,wever, as already
telegraphed to the Embellishments, "
the policy of the government will be
to encourage gold mining in every
particular and to prevent the expOrta-
ton of that metal from the country.
In outline the government policy
will be this: Exemption to be granted
from every form of federal, state and
municipal taxation on all gold miners
and the imposition of a heavy and
practically prOhi bitory tax on the eX-
portation of gold.
The annual production in Mexico to-
day of the yellow metal is about 49,
900, 900. Under such law as outliued
above it would quickly go up to SlO,-
O00, 900 and over. 1t is understood the
next step would be the depositing of
the gold in the federal treasury, the
government to pay therefor in silver
dollars at the current ate of exchange
on the day the deposit is made. Itis
argued that, on the basis of the gold
so accumulated, the payment of the in
terest- bearing certificates issued
against the gold in the custody of the
treasury could be met. Thus slowly
q gold fund would be secured here, to
be made, in case of necessity, the basis
of change of standard at least so says
rumor. and so impercep.ibly made as
to not shock trade or establish habits.
The great monetary revolution would
come about, and should gold come to
be mined here under government en-
couragement in large quantities the
task of supplying the country with a
gold currency would be made easy.
However, so far, it is stated, the cabi-
net has in no way indicated a tendency
to adopt gold standard, but the &C
emulation of gold here would enable !
the treasury to meet the foreign inter- |
est in gold.
In view Of the increased interest in |
gold mining here the adoption by the |
government of policy to encourage |
the mining of the yellow metal can not
but result in a great impetus to the
of gold. The present sec
rotary of the treasury, j. 1. Lin antour,
is man of extraordinary resources,
and the people generally feel that he is
able to get them out Of the difficulty
they are in owing to the fall in silver.
1t is unders God that the foregoing
project is Mr.. Limautour s.-Globe

Nowhere else are toll and talents so

of this want and misery that exists in

traffic. The saloon, he charges, is the
real source of this pauperism and its
attendant social evils.
