Black Diamond Rail Road.

By letter from President Wat.
son of the Indiana branch OF the
Black Diamond the Courier learns
that the management are certain OF
favorable report from Sir Thomas
Tancred to the London, England,
syndicate of capitalists, which sent
him over the proposedlines. He is
now on his way home, and the Off
GERS of each branch are qusy with a
number of engineers and assistants,
getting up duplicate prohles and es-
Inmates Of cost of construction, and
of income, to forward to him to lay
before the syndicate. This prelim-
mary work necessarily costs a good
deal of money, and directors Brett
and Wilson were called upon Tor
$500 of it. Last Tuesday they col
ected, by cash donations, in a few
hours $500 of it, and sent to head
quarters, and expect to send the adj
ditional 800 this week. This shows
that the citizens and business men
Of Jasper are earnestly in favor OF
the enterprise, and is substantial
evidence CT their confidence.
When the deal with the London
syndicate is fully perfected, work
will Immediately be begun in secur
ing the right-of-way, so that grading
may begin in the early Spring, and
it is intended to push the work as
rapidly as possible, so that by the
beginning Of the next century thu
new road will be opened for business
The completion will double The
business enterprises all along thu
line, as it will furnish additional
facilities for business.
Jasper will certainly double it
population in five years. Push i
along. 1t will be a blessing for tn
whole people.
In the meantime our citizen
should by united effort secure an
other large manufacturing establish
ment, and have it in operation mex
year, ready to take advantage of th
impetus given business by the new
railroad, and will enable the town
also, to make better showing i
! the next census.

WASHINGTON LETTER
trrom our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. %, 1898.
Nobody need be mislead by the
backing and filling Of the Peace
Commissioners and the weekly crl-
sis, on paper, always accompanied
by an alleged uitimatum sent by
this government. There has been
but one question to be settled since
this government demanded the Phil
ippines. The price we are to pay
for them. That question is still un-
settled. Why, some OF lhe Spanish
bondholders could doubtless tell.
When it is settled we will have the
treaty of peace and not before. That
Mr.. Mckinley could quickly settle
this business by sending an ultim
tum is unquestioned also that he
ought TO do it, but it is humiliating,
in the extreme, to have men close
to the administration announcing
every week that one has been sent,
when day or two afterwai DIS 1t be-
comes apparent to all the world that
it has not.
1t is the easiest thing in the wor Id
to get people accustomed 10 and in
different to large public expendi-
lures. Only few years ago the APP
preparation of a billion dollars by a
republican Congress aroused the
public opinion OF the country, and
elected democratic President and
Congress. Since then, about every
Congress has beeu a billion-dollar
Congress, and the present Congress,
which has already appropriated al
most billion dollars, will, by the
end of the coming short session,
have reached the two billion mark.
1t is true that considerable portion
of this money is chargeable to the
war, but outside OF the war, the
public expenditures are entirely too
extravagant, and might be largely
ourtailed without lessening the Ell
fienoy of the government.
1t is announced that the Canadian
American Commission, now sitting
i'm Washington, has made great pro-
gress, but the announcers take good
care to accompany the announce
ment with the state ment that the
agreements reached 10y the Commits
sion have been only upon minor
matters, and that the importan,
questions are still up in the air
1t is further stated that none of tn,
agreements reached are to be bind
ing unless agr sements aie reached
upon every thing, which indicates
that the great progress" is largely
imaginary.

snr AS expected Jim Corbett, The

his fight with Sharkey last Tuesday
night in New York, and to save the
bets, one of his trainers jumped into
the ring during the 10th round. The
referee gave the decision to Sharkey
and declared all bets off. Some ac-
cuse Corbett of being party to the
action of the trainer, to save hi'
friends money, when it was seen he
could not win.

The fact that Hart runs so much

of the opposite candidates. RAJ
ston ran $3.50 ahead of Minor,
while Hunt ran only 800 ahead OF

A Case of Sorrow.

Mr.. Hearst. Of The New York Jour
nal, telegraphcd Mr.. Cleveland the other
day informing him that a great many
prominent persons had accepted mem
bership on a committee 10 erect a nation
al monument by popular subscription 10
the men who went down with the Maine,
and asked the eX-presideDt 10 be allowed
to add his name to the list.
MIR Cleveland replied to this request
as follows: II decline to allow my Sor-
row fer those who died on the Maine to
be perverted to an advertising scheme
for The New York Journal"
In mugWump and republican circles
this has created great applause. Editor
Godkin printed it on his editorial page
with a caClIe. The cuckooS say the
twenty-five words are immortal. Even
The Macon Telegraph declares I'll was
terrific blow at yellow journalism
But there are other things to be said
about it, Mr.. Cleyelands statement
would imply that he feels sor-
row for those who died ON
the Maine. We trust the state
ment is not an eXaggeration. He is
certainly the man VINO should feel not
only SORROW, but remOrse. He is almost
criminally responsible for the situation
in Cuba. and for the destruction of life
and properly that has been going on
there for two or three years. After Me
Kinlcy. he is the man who is most re-
spOnsible for the events that have led
up to the destruction of the Maine. and
the martyrdOm of the men who went
down in it. Indirectly they are all the
victims of Cleyelamd's Cuban policy.
which has been taken up and carried out
up to date by Mckinley
AS our readers know. both houses of
congress in 1895 adopted a joint resolu
ton recognizing the belligerent rights of
the Cubans Mr.. Cleveland put the res
oluton in his pocket. and thus smOth-
cred the intentions Of the people and
the patriotic purposes Of the peoples
representatives If at that time the
beligerent rights Of the Cubans had
been recognized by the United States. it
would have given them an opportunity
to secure such material assistance as
would have enabled them to bring the
war to a conclusion long ago This is
why we say that any expression Of sor-
row from him is absurd.
We do not ask ourselves why Mr..
Hearst proposed to burden his mOnu-
ment scheme with the name Of CleVe-
land. There are many mysteries in
metropolitan Journalism ard the list
Of them is constantly Increasing; but,
