CONGRATULATIONS.

We wish to congratulate certain of
our enterprising contemporaries, and
particularly the esteemed Pioneer
Press, upon the celebrity with which
they get around to giving their sub
scribers the news of the day as pre-
viously printed in the G / o e. On
Friday last the G O b e published two
articles of great public moment and
interest. One of these gave the con-
tents Of the ordinance which had been
circulated privately among the mem
bers Of the council, proposing to grant
new and impossible concessions to the
street railway company; the other an
nounced the candidacy for governor of
Judge Collins, of the supreme court.
They were great items Of news, and of
course they were published in the
GIobe exclusively. Equally Of course
they were. to the papers that did not
get them, SENSATIONAL and untrue.
This was on Friday, the 14th. In the
Pioneer Press of Tuesday, the 18th,
we observe an editorial discussion of
the terms of the street railway ordi-
nance, concerning which it finds that
typewriter copies have been passing
from hand to hand among the men,
bers of the council" We find on an
other page Of the same issue special
dispatch from ST. Cloud which an
nounces Judge Collins candidacy. 1t
remarks that the G l o b e's publica-
ton was Undoubtedly unauthorized"
but it quotes from the st. Cloud Jour-
nal-Press an article which lis consid-
cred as almost equivalent to an an
nouncement of Collins candidacy by
his friends" It is pleasing to us to
see such great strides taken in jour
ralism that not more than four days
need elapse between the time when
the G o b publishes the news and
the time when its worthy, but rather
rheumatic contemporaries find it out.
Some of them, indeed, were longer
than this in discovering the facts stat
ed by the G l 0 b e about the Clough-
Van SAINT deal. But they do eventual
ly come out Of the trance, and then
the paper writes a beautiful little para
graph of admiration of itself and
frames it in its own columns, and ev-
erything is lovely once more.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 18.-The news

Whoh ave arrived from KIondike on
the steamer Corona, is important chief

made. All gold creeks Show pans of

Big Salmon and the Stewart all de-
clare themselves satisfied with the
prospect.
One of the first men to stake ground
on Ell Dorado, and the very last man
out OF the Klondike country, is Andrew
Olsen, knows as "the big Swede." He
IS notable as being the owner of the
claim on which the biggest KIondike
nugget has yet been found. The lump
OF gold was valued at $536.

TELLER SILVER RESOLUTION
FavorabIy Acted Upon by the Sen.
ute Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The senate
on finance voted today to report the
Teller resolution, declaring for the pay
ment of the national bonds in silver as
we'll as gold. The vote stood to 5.
The resolution Is practically the same
as the Stanley Matthews resolution
adopted some years ago. The vote was
preceded by discussion which was
generally participated IN by the mem
bers of the committee. The general
tenor Of the discussion was along the
same lines as that of a week ago, the
Republicans contending that the reso-
luton was useless and would be de-
void Of results and the Democrats and
their allies taking the opposite posi-
ton. The Republicans especially de-
precated the agitation of the financial
question at the present time, saying
there was no effort, and likely to be
meme, to pass q general financial meas
ure through the senate committing the
country more definitely to the gold
standard. To this the Democrats re-
piled by citing the efforts of Secretary
Gage and ex-senator Edmunds to have
congress take up the question in a way
which looked to placing the country
definitely upon q gold basis. They con-
tended that it was the evident purpose
of the administration to secure legis-
latiCn in the interest Of the single
standard, whenever opportunity offer
ed. and avowed their purpose of secur-
Ing a declaration in favor of a double
standard such as was proposed in this
resolution. if possible to DO so, in or
der to show that there had been no
change in sentiment. If, they said, the
business interests were to be injured
by the agitation of the financial ques-
ton at this time. the blame should be
placed upon the Republican administra-
ton and not upon themselves. When
some OF the Republican senators were
reminded that they had voted the reso-
luton when presented by Hon. Stan
ley Matthews. twenty years ago, they
admitted such to be the fact, but said
in explanation Of their pres=n Mt attitude,
that conditions had changed. Senator
Wclcott did not vote with his Repub-
lican friends, but heartily supported
the resolution, saying he would vote
for it every time 1t came up.

SECOND DAY OF STRIKE.
No Disorder I'm Any of the Spinning
Centers.


BOSTON, Mass. Jan. 18.-Grim de-
termination on the part of both sides,
coupled with a defined issue between
employer and employee as we'll as prac-
tcally an absence of any sign of
demonstration, were the features of
the second day in the great strike I'm
the cotton industry. AS yesterday, in
terest centered almost entirely in the
strike at New Bedford, Where the dis
tu1 Dances of yesterday led to the belief
that similar demonstration might be
attempted today. Nothing of the kind
occurred and the strikers strengthened
their cause by making the question of
fines a definite issue with the mill
owners. 1t is just possible that an
agreement on this question may lead
to some satisfactory ending of the
whole matter in that city, although at
present such an outcome seems distant
The matter Of financial support to
the strikers was generally discussed,
nCk only in New Bedford, but in Bidde-
ford, SacO and Lewiston, Maine, and
W nile the union strikers seem to have
no anxiety regarding the next three
months the nOn-uniOn men who are out
fear that they may not receive sufT1-
cient support.
In Fall River the superintendent Of
the King Philip mill where there is a.
strike, went go far as to agreeing to
remedy union grievances. but other
than this there appears no breach in
the line of the manufacturers during
the day.

NO CHANGE WANTED.
Cabinet Stands by Its Former Cuban
Policy.

WASHINGTON. Jan 1S.-Such infor-
nation as the state department has re-
ceIVed as TO the situation in Havana
IS confirmatOry of the unofficial dis
patches and shows that quiet reigns
in the city, and that the impression of
the officials that the riotous spirit
had either exhausted itself for the time
being or had been completely sup
pressed by the strong hand of authori-
ty, is justified. The situation was
briefly alluded to in the cabinet meet
ing today, but was not regarded as
warranting any change in the attitude
of our government. Minister de LONE
has written the state department de-
nying the truth of the report that the
customs officers of Havana have
thrown obstacles in the way Of the
landing of supplies sent from the Unit
ed States for the Cuban sufferers. The
state department is satisfied that. re-
CARELESS of any difficulty that may
have been experienced, there will be
no trouble from now on in promptly
placing in Gen. Lees possession for
immediate distribution any supplies
that reach Havana harbor in the reg

THE WAY OF GOVERNMENTS.

Nc government ever interferes for
good or for evil in private business
affairs without demonstrating, before
it gets through, its unfitness for this
field Of operation. The status OF the
proposition to send a relief expedition
rather amusing light. The clamor for
relief to starving miners in Alaska was
raised last fall almost as soon as the
passes into the country were closed
Nobody knew whether there were
starving miners there or not Every
body did know that, if there were, they
had gone there Of their own accord
fully warned of the risks they ran and
prepared to take the consequences; and
that it was no more the business of the
government to help them out than to
pay off mortgages for people who had
invested too heavily in real estate dur
ing the boom. The sentimental argu-
ment prevailed, however, and prepara-
tions for relief went forward in that
heavy and circumlocutory manner
which is characteristic of all govern
mental movements. Bids for supplies
were called for and the clumsy ma
chinery Of Washington put in motion
to get the expedition under way. 1t
was known, of course, that the govern
ment was just as powerless to find en-
trance into Alaska during the close of
the winter season as is an individual.
1t was therefore proved on the face
of it that, if this expedition ever set
