Outside Opinions.

A friend Of the editor writing
from Lewiston says: CAS- to ths
railroad situation, l think you
need have no fears but that both
roads will serve your district.
There will be plenty of business
there for both roads. If those
railroad people knew this section
as we'll as you and 1 do, they
would stop their claims Of exclusive
territory now being voiced as IT
they owned and ruled the country
like MEDIEVAL barons. The Palouse
country is the best paying district
on either the Northern Pacific CT
.. r. & N. systems. Right through
the worst period that the Palouse
country has ever known, the rail-
road branches through il were
profitable while the rest Of their
systems were bankrupt. 1t is well
known to careful observers that
the Camas PraiYie country is fully
as good as the Palouse ever was,
and on it's outskirts are rich mines
and rich forests. Nez Perce and
Idaho counties will have fully
as much business for each Of the
three railroads now aiming towards
them, as the Palouse country ever
had for it's two roads,"
Another friend writing from
Boise city says: "From all reports
that l have heard, the mines in
your section of the country possess
the merit which will justify large
investments of capital, and with
railroads building towards you,
as they are, the coming year should
be one prolific Of very good results
for your people"

COL. McGRAw FOR SENATOR

According to our Charleston dis
patches, Col John r. McGraw will be
the Democratic caucus nominee for
United States Senator. This has been
foreshadowed almost from the begin
ming, and will be news to no one. The
announcement furnishes the numerous
friends of Col McGraw-and their
number in this State is limited only by
the number of Democrats-the oppor-
tunity they have been awaiting to
offer their congratulations most heart
lily to this brilliant and most deserving
young Democrat and representative
citizen.
Pre-eminent is Col. McGraw's fitness
for the honor, for there is not a citizen
within the States borders who has
done more in his time for her welfare
and development, or in his whole life
and personal fortunes is closer identi-
fed with her material interests than
he nor one better qualified by educa-
ton and experience to represent all of
those interests and all of her people
in the highest legislative body in the
land. Nor is there citizen in West
Virginia possessing a finer natural
ability than Col McGraw. Eminently
successful in business and in the law,
and having a wide practical knowledge
and keen and lively perception Of the
needs of West Virginia, the State could
not have more fit and capable
representative in the United States
Senate, certainly none more active,
pushing, enterprising and progressive.
+ Politically, Col. McGraw is true
blue Democrat of the old school, sound
in the true faith and firmly grounded
in the undying principles of Jefferson.
No Democrat deserves better from his
party. for he has stood by it through
thick and thin, in triumph and defeat,
all his life The Democracy owes
much to Col. McGraw's efforts and it
can not reward him beyond his deserts
1t will reflect credit upon the good
sense and judgment of the party and be
a fitting elimination of the successful
campaign of last fall to elevate him
to the United States Senate, where he
will be valuable addition to the Dem
ocratic membership and of great ma
terial usefulness to this State.

Speaking of the race question a sep
arate coach bill has been introduced
in the North Carolina Legislature. A
bill also has been introduced to devote
to the school fund for colored children
only revenue raised on property of col
ored citizens. This is calculated to
stir up the bloody shirt shouters again.
Yet it is the national policy of those
same bloody shirt shouters to annex
race problems a hundred-fold worse
than that we have.

IN THE BALANCE.

The Filipino policy seems to be war
in the event of the refusal of the Uni
ted States to abandon the annexation
policy. The insurgent troops are mass
ed under the standard of independence
for the Philippines and under the per-
sonal leadership of the shrewd and able
Aguinaldo, who has just published a
ringing patriotic manifesto substantial
ly denying any agreement to recognize
American authority and proclaiming
the independence of the Filipinos,
whom he eXhorts in stirring terms to
stand together in battle for their liber
ties.
What is the administration at Wash
ington going to do in the premises?
The administration is committed to
the Wall street policy of annexation
forcible if need be, despite the fact that
only one short year ago Mr.. Mckinley
publicly proclaimed that that would be
criminal aggression" But can the adj
ministration afford to assume the atti-
tude of the tyrant and oppressor toward
these people who are fighting for pre-
cisely what our revolutionary forefath-
ers fought for?
That would be truly an anomalous
position for this great and free nation
whose pride it has been for over a
century to proclaim liberty and to send
glowing annual message of hope and
good cheer to the oppressed throughout
the world,
The first American gun fired upon the
liberty-seeking Filipinos will be heard
round the world in the court of every
European monarch amid derisive
sneers, while its echoes in the tombs
of our revolutionary fathers will be
startling ominous!

1t is considered probable that all the
Bell Telephone interests throughout

one powerful organization. OF course!
Join the procession! The monopolies
are all making hay while the sun

gal and oppressive combines will be
found contributing literally, as of yore,
to the campaign fund of the Republi-

TIE LAW MUST GOVERN.

The recent conference between Dem
ocratic and Republican leaders at
Charleston with a view of arriving at
an amicable settlement of all dis
putes that will come before the Legis-
iature was a wise move that should be
pursued at all times and in all cases
when possible. Where the law is in
dispute there should certainly be some
other means of settling the controversy
than by an appeal to the brutal force
of a partisan vote. 1t is pity in this
connection that Republican Committee
man and Secretary of State Dawson
could not see his way clear to accept
ing the entirely fair proposition of the
Democrats that all the questions in
dispute be left to the Supreme Court
for adjudication. Mr.. Dawson's stated
reason for refusing this reasonable de-
mand was that he thought the Su
preme Court had no jurisdiction. But
it seems Us that Mr.. Dawson might
have left \point of jurisdiction, also,
to that which assuredly would
not ass jurisdiction it did not
