 Ed. Russell, of the Dispatch, ought to be ashamed of himself After laying awake nights for two weeks thinking about MT. Dunbar's removal to Juneau, he publishes in his last Record that the Bennett Sun is to move to Douglas Island, and this was done just to scare the editor of the only religious paper in Alaska. Well, the News has Rrrang- ed to put in a new newspaper press and improve our job work department and the fact that another paper is to come to Douglas City will not cause us to make any different arrangements.

that no animosity is felt for Germans

No Need to Worry.

To relieve the mind and compose the
bosom of our more or less esteemed
contemporary down the avenue. we
proceed to define the position of Tho
Tribune relative to the pending munich
pal contest.
From the day that this paper was
founded until now it has uniformly
and lOvally supported the Republican
party its principles and its nominees.
1t has done this irrespective of wheth-
cr the nominees have hccn it's friends
or it's enemies. 1t has never offered its
opinions for sale. 1t has never withheld
its editorial support from any Republi-
can cause until sum of money had
first been planked down upon its coun.
ter in purchase of it's allegiance. 1t
has swallowed some nauScating doses
in the belief that Republican party su-
premacy was more vital than personal
preferences. Notably was this the case
in the fall of 1894 when IL gave it's sup
port to the then Republican nominee
for congress, Joseph ~ Scranton, u
man regarded by it then and now as
personally unfit for public Office, but
whose election seemed a necessity of
circumstances at that time existing.
For this support it never received nor
expected the slightest acknowledgment
nor did the recipient so far forget his
true character ae to offer. after cleo
tion, the conventional message of
thanks.
Under these circumstances 1t is un-
necessary for any Republican to worry
about The Tribune's position in the
present municipal campaign. 1t does
not consider that an election for mayor
involves the fate of the nation, but
nevertheless it is heartily for the Re-
publican ticket and hopes to see it win.
Three years ago-to be exact on Jan.
20, 1S96-the Scranton Republican de-
clared that "there may be times
when party defeat is a blessing in
disguise" AS a consistent Repub-
lican newspaper The Tribune is con-
strained to say that this is not one of
those times.

The McCarrell Bill.

The theory underlying American iur-
into an American court on a criminal
charge should have unclouded fair
play. Justice should be meted out to
him without fear or favor. Neither on
the bench nor in the jury box should
his case be warped by prejudice or
tiOn that he is innocent until proved
guilty the scale should be held in ex-
act equilibrium until the weight of un-
mistakable evidence> inclines it to one
side or the other.
To this theory a minority i'm the
Pennsylvania legislature is now de-
murring, although in former years its
leaders were foremost in urging the
enactment of the principle involved in
the McCarrell bill. This bill takes from
the district attorney the power which
is now his in law to challenge per-
emptorily five men on the panel oe
jurors to each man similarly chal-
lengeable by the defense, and puts the
matter of challenges on basis Of
equality. To this principle. considered
abstractly, dissent is impossible by any
honest man. But the assertion is made
with reference to the McCarrell bill
that it has been inspired by friends Of
Senator Quay with a view to eXtricat-
ing him from pending criminal prose-
cutiOns; and on this account the bill is
to be fought regardless of it's intrinsic
merits.
If we assume it to be true that the
experience Of Senator Quay, who. it is
believed by many, was to have been
railroaded through to an unjust con-
ViCtiOn by unfair use Of the district
attorneys preponderatng power Of
peremptory challenge, had something
to do with re-awakening fair-minded
men TO the enormity Of the injustice
possible as the law now stands. it does
not follow that the McCarren bill if
enacted into law, could be anything but
a public advantage. Justice does not
call for set-up juries. Its demands end
when trial is fair, open and above
board. If the principle in the McCar-
rell bill is just-as Judge Gordon, Rob-
ert f. Pattison and their host of Demo-
cratic and independent followers are
ON record as having admitted--then the
bill should become law, regardless Of
pending litigation.
The outrageous assumption that he
cause a particular defendant now
under criminal indictment is politically
al ~
not have a fair trial is one which will
not commend itself to the intelligence
of the people.

THE doing of his duty is the SOL
ders test of merit glory is an acct
dent" In these words are embodied a
truth peculiarly applicable to the Thir-
teeuth regiment, 1t has done ito duty.
1t needs no higher praise.
1t is too early to discuss the causes
which kept this splendid regimcnt-ad-
mittedly one of the best. if not the
best, volunteer regiment in the United
States service-inaCtiVe in camp when
inferior organizations were ordered to
the front or given assignments in gar
rison duty which at least involved the
novelty of travel. In some respects the
holding of the Thirteenth in reserve
may have been considered a policy OF
kindness, inasmuch as it spared mary
lives that would have been endaugcred i
by exposure TO a tropical climate.
Time, as we say, will doubtless clear
this matter UP and set right many
points now viewed with suspicion or
perpleXity by the regiment and it's
friends.
The more immediate subject for con-
sideratiOn. however. is the Thirteenth's
homecoming. The boys, we repeat,
have done their duty like men; they
have waited in patience for the sum-
mons to battle that never came; they
have obeyed the orders and weathered
the riGors and deprivations and tedium
of camp life in stalwart fashion, show
ing a steady and patient herOism not
battle line, and it will be an honor and
pleasure for the people of Scranton
and all the region around and about it
to give the regiment when it returns a
welcome which will mark an epoch in
local history

Within the village itself we had, Of

villa If the Philippine republic intended
TO demand passports of travellers, lie
replied that IT would be the custom only
in time of war He classcd this period
aS time of war, and the congress at
Paris as a mere suspension of hostilities,
at the end of which their nation might
again be ervelODed in war. Our rela-
tions with Senor Villa We're mainly Of
hcial; his manner toward us was brusque
and at times diScourteous. He was cN-
tremely suspicious of us particularly of
the diary that we kept from day to day,
and of a camera that formed part of our
equipment. He becahc slowly convinced
however, that we were not seeking for
military information. After he had as
sured himself of this, he told us that
the colonel feared that we were making
maps of the country. During the rest
of our journey we were entirely free
from the taint of this suspicion. Accord
ing to Senior Villas statement, the charge
had first been made by the Spanish prls-
oncrs, who have never ceased to warn
the natives that American troops would
come into the province to conquer them,
when they would find themselves in
worse hands than before they rebclled
against Spain.
