AMERICAN AND BRITISH SAILORS

No officer can sail a British ship with

from the Board of Trade. The Ma

masters of ships toward men, of in

WORDEN'S CONFESSION.
Los Angeles Times: That there was
deliberate conspiracy to wreck the
train at Yolo bridge has all along been
a patent fact. The cock-and- bull story
that the conspiracy was planned and
executed by detectives in the employ of
the railway companies has never been
believed by any person of ordinary in
telligence. The confession of Salter ID.
Worden, made under the shadow of che
gallows. shows plainly who the con-
spirators We're, and reveals their damn
able methods in concentrating the
crime. 1t brings home to the y. r. u.
the terrible responsibility for this trag-
edy. 1t shows beyond a reasona BILE
doubt that the men implicated by Wor-
den in his confession as participants in
the crime, are equally deserving with
him of punishment by death. II Wor-
den had told the truth sooner his tes-
timony might have resulted in the con-
viction of al least some of these red
handed murderers.
THE REAL FRIENDS OF SILVER.
Tacoma Ledger: Those who believe
the passage of Teller resolution is
necessary in order to prevent discrim-
ination in payments between the bond
holders and the clustered handed"
workingmen may learn that under the
present conditions silver is good enough
for anybody, and will be kept so if its
alleged friends will leave we'll enough
alone. 1t is true that silver bullion is
cheap and SO are iron and cotton but

calls the fact that neither the United

has taken the interest it should have

our Government stepped in to limit
the shipment of liquors across it's bor-
der TO the Klondike. Those miners
who pioneered the way to the gold

our way of letting things alone that,
