The Grand Jnry,. Work.


The extraordinary number OF in
dlctments found by the grand jury
against liquor sellers who engage in the
traffic without taking out a full state
license, and for other violations of law,
and the fact that no one was spared
show how impartial was the investlga-
tIon made into the state of affairs. No
favors appear to have been shown to any
one, All who were liable were dealt with
without fear, favor or partially, which
speaks well for the fairness OF the inves-
tigating body.
1t has been sometimes the case, here as
well as elsewhere, that there has been an
apparent discrimination shown. and
whether Just or not to the prosecutors, It
has been charged that favored ones have
escaped, and that certain classes of sa-
loon men have been Disseminated
against, while certain other classes have
been let of comparatively easy. In the
present instance the list OF true bills re-
ported indicates that no man who has
not lived up to the state laws regulating
the liquor traffic has been especially fav-
ored, and that all have been affected
from the highest to the humblest
regardless of politics or any other con-
sideration The jury seems to have taken
the cases Just as they came and found
the bills according to the evidence of wit
nesses.
While the result will doubtless fall
heavily upon some of those indicted,
glance at the list shows that In no case
has saloon keeper more than ten in
dlctments for short license charged
against him. Should they all be sus-
tanned, the fines accruing, with the costs,

Congress or not, he will continue to
maintain the respect OF his constituents.
He has nothing to fear from the effects
of the Dingley bill on his political for
tunes, nor has the Republican party OF
the Second district anything to fear.
The benefit of the Dinglcy bill to the
great lumber Industry alone Of the Sec
ond district, is now becoming manifest
and the people of that district are not
unappreclatlve.

porary in Grafton may recall how tho

In an article concerning the tin plate
industry, published Monday, the IntellI-
gencer showed from the government sta
tlstlcs that In 1892, the first year for
which any statistics were reported Of the
new Industry, 1S,6i6,7lo pounds of tin
plate were made In the United States
that in 1898 the production increased TO
90, Sl9, 2O2 pounds; and that in 1894, eight
months of which the Mckinley bill was
still in force. the production was 1929
467 pounds, showing the growth from
nothing, in three years, Of the industry
which did not exist In this country until
the duty was placed on tin plate. The
statistics were reported by the bureau OF
statistics in accordance with the pro-
vIso in the Mckinley bill that the duty
should cease to be in force II by certain
time the production failed to reach a
certain figure.
The IntellIgencer quoted its figures
from the government table which gives
the progress of the industry down to the
present. Now comes. the Register with
the statement repeated that not until ar
ter the Wilson bill was passed was lin
plate made in this country. our neigh
boris previous assertion was that mot
one pound was made" Now It says
none was made at a profit" and rldi-
cules the statistics.
one way OF the free trader Is to dis
credit government statistics which dis
prove his arguments, The TntellIgencer
Is not only content to take the records OF
the bureau OF statistics, but also the tes-
tlmony OF the manufacturers and the
trade authorities. The Register can dis
credit them II 1t desires, but It will not
succeed In deceiving the public about
facts Of recent history.
The Register further says; "Only the
other day our nelghbor recklcssly stated
that the tin mills over the river began
making tin plato under the Mckinley
BILL" and accuses the Intelllgcncer Of
Ignorance az when those mills began
making tin plates. The Register states
an untruth. The Intolligcncer In COM

Though the reports concerning Minis
ter Woodford's Interview with the Span
lsh minister Of foreign affairs are some
what conflicting. they agree in the essen
tlal particular that the United States
minister Informed the Spanish govern
ment firmly but automatically, that the
war must be terminated soon, and that II
1t Is not terminated the United States
government will feel justified in taking
measures to secure the independence Of
Cuba. The dispatches from Madrid, from
Paris and from Washington so nearly
agree upon this statement that there is
little room for doubt that something In
the nature OF firm stand was made by
Minister Woodford on behalf OF the
President.
1t is stated upon apparently good au-
thority that President Mckinley, before
the preparation OF the note to the Span
ish foreign office. called about him some
Of the best known and most careful
diplomats In the country for consulta-
ton, and that the note which was
framed,w couched In language which
can In no wise infame the minds OF the
Spanish, leaves no doubt that this coun-
try will no longer remain inactive IL the
butcherles In Cuba continue. This note
received the sanction of the members Of
the cabinet who are all conservative men
on the Cuban question.
The message delivered by Minister
Woodford, while reported In the Madrid
dispatches TO be Of a character which
will create a profound sensation In Eu-
rope was, according to statements from
Washington, merely preliminary ulti-
matum-a warning to the Spanish gov
eminent that, 1t appearing that Spain
cannot crush the rebellion within rea-
sonable time. the hostillties should be
brought to an end. The interest OF the
United States in the settlement OF the
war, aside from the promptings OF hui
manlty, are commercial and industrial,

The energy with which the Mexican
government is pushing the matter OF
bringing to justice the slayers OF the In
sane man who assaulted President Dias
reflects credit on the authorities OF that
country. In promptly bringing lynchers
to punishment, even though their Victim
was the assailant of the head of the ma.
ton, the government serves notice that
mob law will not be tolerated, There are
sumo states in our own country that
would do well to take example from
Mexico.

With the ending OF the anthracite
strike in Pennsylvania there is brought
to a close one of the most remarkable
contests of the kind this country has
witnessed. While the miners had GER
tain grievances, one OF them being the
company stores, the strike was not
against them, nor was there ANY demand
made by the strikers, the trouble being
due to a difficulty among the miners
themselves. When asked what they were
striking against they could not tell, II
the miners did not gain anything in the
strike, 1t was due to the fact that they
formulated no complaint and made no
organized demand,
