ance were Misses Bertha and Della

some excellent vocal and instrumental
music One of the most pleasing feat
ures was violin selections by Messrs.

member of the Opera House orchestra.
At a seasonable hour the guests en-
circled the festive board and did JUS

The dispatches say that when Pres
ident Dole, of Hawaii, landed he was
not received with the ceremony beit-
ting the rulers of foreign country
The customs officials passed the bag
gage of himself and family without in
spection, and that was all. The truth
is that no one in this country recog-
nizes Dole as the ruler of anything ex-
cept self-constituted government OF
handful of scheming whites over a
population of semi-barbarians. Dole's
government, such as it is, is Gin it,

much regard for the welfare of the

woLCoTT ON THE SITUATION.

While Senator Wolcott's utterances
contain nothing new as regards the
currency question, it sets some things
in a. palmer light than before, one CT
which is the administration attitude
toward the work of the Commission.
Few intelligent people will dispute
that Secretary Gage is nothing more
or less than the representative OF the
national banks and the gold ring IN
the present cabinet.
Mr.. Wolcott makes it clear that Gage
is not even in favor of international
bimetallism, if that were obtainable,
and that by his insidious communlca-
lions. brought to the notice of the
English government as official declara-
tons from the administration at Wash
ington, did more to embarrass the
labors of the Commission than any
other factor. His statements in letters
and interviews neutralized every effort
of the Commission to come to an I'M
ment, says Senator Wolcott While
the Senator is easy with President Nc
Kinley and processes to believe in his
friendship for bimetallism, he scores
Gage hard for his underhand work and
his perfdy to the Republican platform
promises. He also scores Comptroller
l. 1l,, .,
minor prophet worshipping at the
gold shrine. At the same time Senator
Wolcott strains point, or several
points, to absolve Mckinley from
blame for the actions and utterances
of his cabinet official and subordinate.
He lays the blame for the interruption
of the work of the bimetallic commits
sion altogether on Gage and Eckels.
Like most men of manly and kindly
nature, Senator Wolcott evidently has
a feeling of pity for McKinley's
peculiar position on this subject, and
particularly for his innate weakness
as a man, and has desire to shield
the President and lay the blame on
his subordinates in the cabinet and in
the Treasury Department Which
heart than to his head, for he surely
knows that the President is never
without the most thorough information
on such matters, and that no member
of his cabinet would dare to outline
policy supposed to represent
the administration views with
out consulting him, or if he
had the unheard-of effrontery
and lack of official honor to do so, that
the President would be among the first
to know it. Senator Wolcott gets
around this point, however, by hop
ing that the letters and interviews OF
Secretary Gage which were given out
as representing the views of the Pres
ident, were forgeries In view of the
fact that no one, not even Gage, has
denied their authenticity, this is
rather a strain on the credulity of the
public
President Mckinley could hardly
have been cordially and zeaiously
seconding" the Commission in its la
bors for bimetallism, if at the same
time his Secretary of the Treasury was
giving it out that the policy of the ad-
ministration at Washington was to
thoroughly and firmly maintain the
single gold standard
Senator Wolcott's efforts to explain
The Commissions embarrassments and
also to defend the pitiful figurehead in
the White House, are very weak

How Jobs Are Worked,

The Nicaraguan canal construction
is an administration measure. The ma
tcnal convention declared that it
should be built, owned and operated
by the United States,' and Mr.. Nc
Kinley finds his political gospel in that
document and follows it, even If it runs
him into an international bimetallic
fiasco. Back of it, of course, is a job,
the desire of the Maritime company to
unload its enterprise on the treasury
at a nice profit. To carry out the ca
nal policy the president appointed a
commission to go down there and
spend the $15O,OO0 appropriated-instea
of the 100000 actually required-in
finding out if the scheme is feasible.
1t will be recalled that the commission
appointed by President Cleveland re-
ported that a canal could not be built
for less than double the amount esti-
mated by the promoters, if it could be
built and maintained at all; and this
was their judgment after only the par
tial survey their appropriation per-
mitted
When their report was under consid-
Grafton by a congressional committee.
the company's chief engineer, Mr. Men
ocal, was much in evidence disputing
the statements of the commission, and
insisting that the canal could be built
inside the company's estimate. He
accompanied the present commission,
as the chief engineer of the canal COM
pany. to see that favorable showing
was made for the very much interest
ed company. He is not there now.
having been recalled to explain to a
naval investigating committee how he
permitted the Brooklyn dry dock to be
built so improperly that it Is worth
less. From a Colon correspondent of
the New York Times we catch a
glimpse of Menocal's methods, in what
he terms good story told by Admi-
raj Walker. The factor that Is as i'm
portant as any in this canal problem
is the rainfall of the country. Tt tells
to what strains the canal will be SUBJ
jected from floods Prof Haupt is
charged with ascertaining these data.
He set up his rain gauge at Greytown.
Mr.. Menocal would never let any
water remain in the professors gauge
long enough for it to become matter

Obeying Natural Law.

Up on the border, where only a row
of white posts at long intervals marks
the boundary between North Dakota
and Manitoba, the Winnipeg Free
Press tells us that what is conven-
tionally termed smuggling is carried
the customs and inland revenue off,
GERS" On both sides of the border live
men who work hard for their money
and very naturally wish to get for 1t
to buy. Only the row of white posts
stands there to warn them that doing
this is a crime against human law, if
the interchange of goods for money
involves the carriage of the one across
the line. The simple people up there
cannot understand why they should
not have the right to buy the thing
they want where they can get it cheap
est. Hence the trouble; a conflict be-
tween the natural and the artificial
law.
,,
can be bought at Neche for SO cents
can, but, If regularly imported and
the fine for bringing it in paid, the
cost is 81. Sixty-seven cents difference
on a can, added by government for any
purpose, is something whose reason the
MennoniteS cannot grasp. Neither
their political nor domestic economy
teaches them that this is just or is any
thing but eXtortion. So they evade the
customs officers, slip by the warning
posts, and get their tobacco and take
it back into Manitoba and smoke it
with all the more gusto because they
are 81 cents ahead on each can. So
with kerosene OIL which they can buy
in Neche for 10 cents a gallon, but
which costs over the line, if duty is
paid, 80 cents. Dried fruit, apples.
blankets, quilts and clothing, the Free
Press says, are "smuggled" across the
line, and the inland revenue officers
are raiding the Mennonite settlements
and confiscating goods thus obtained.
The Mennonites are simple folk, but
people far more intelligent than they
look upon the evasion of such taxation
as an act of self-preservation, a duty
one owes to himself and his family.
| and an obedience to natural law, if it
be a defiance of artificial law.
