There are public tributes and general
demonstrations Of grief for the death Of
many men who count for less in the
work Of the world and the advancement
Of humanity than Dwight L. Moody.
This was man who gave all that he
had of strength and of service to the
saving Of men from evil, the rescue of
character. the uplifting Of the world.
Those who did not sympathize with his
methods accorded to him freely credit
for sincerity. earnestness and practical
results. He left few marks upon public
life, but there are thousands Of people
to whom this world Is a different place
and all the aspect of life is enlarged and
frightened because Of him. 1t is a
confusion Of word or Of thought to deny
to this the name Of greatness.

Small Manufactures.

It is never out Of order to speak of
the necessity Of establishing new manu-
factories. Every community which is a
large consumer ought to aim to be a
producer, and Seattle is no exception.
Many hourishing industries have been
founded here, but there is room for
more. With the growth Of the city.
new enterprises have been started
which are doing well, but many things
are still imported which should be made
at home.
1t is not essential that new manufac-
turing plants should be bull: on large
scale far beyond the needs of the pres
ent. Too often this results in disaster.
The capacity Of new concerns should
have some relation to immediate de-
mands. Tying up capital in Immense
works for the products OF which there
is no market is certain to be unproflta-
BILE, If 1t does not result in financial re-
verses.

Let Them visit Alaska and Expand
IN Knowledge.
Boiee Idaho. STATESMAN,

Boise, Idaho, Statesman.
It will be remembered that q party Of
twelve or fifteen congressman made a trip
to Alaska during the summer. This was
entirely private journey. the members
paying their own expenses. 1t seems.
however, that they kept their official eyes
open during their visit and they now ex-
press themselves as having gained infor-
nation which they could not secure from
reading OF reports concerning that far
Northern possession Of the government.
They believe they now understand the con-
ditions in Alaska far better than they ever
could without having taken this trip.
Statements made by them since the as
sembling of congress have led to numerous
suggestions that II might be wise for the
government to provide for such trips by
members of congress-. 1t IL probably true
that the benent arising from such excur-
sions would far more than offset the cost,
but the people would never consent to such
an arrangement, as they have learned to
distrust the congressional junket The
average citizen will think that congress-
men are so well paid and secure SO many
favors from the transportation compan-
les that they should undertake such trips
at their private charge and In the inter-
est Of intelligent and effective discharge
of their duties.

In connection with the controversy
over the authorship Of the financial
plank adopted at st. Louis on June IL.
1895, It is proper to recall the stand
taken for sound money by the Republic
cans Of washington at the very out
set OF that campaign. At the Everett
convention, May IA, a month previous
to the st. Louis convention, fierce bat
tie was fought and won by the gold
standard men. who refused fatty to
compromise on q "straddle' and enun-
ciated a financial policy which for
clearness has not been surpassed any
where in the United States. On dec
laration Of principles they threw their
state in tho balance, heroically choosing
to submit to temporary defeat rather
than to coddle the voter for his support
OF platform based On deceit, Here IL
what the Republicans ct Everett adopt
ed:
Resolved, That We favor the mainte-
nance Of the present sold standard, and
are opposed to tho free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio of IS to /.
We are, however, favorable to an inter-
national agreement looking to the general
use OF both metals as money at fixed
ratio, and commend the efforts in that be-
half Of the last Republican administra-
ton"
In the foregoing there IL no attempt
at evasion. Tho words gold standard"
stamp the resolution a. unsquivocal.
What the Everett plank did for the
Republican party OF Washington is his
tory; and although the campaign Of 1895
was disastrous, that party today is all
the stronger for daring to do right
The truth about the st. Louis plank is
that 1t was not the creation Of any one
mind. Rather It was composite ex-
preston: and the credit for its enuncia-
ton is due perhaps az much to the Re-
publicans of Washington. who antici-
pated the national leaders Of the party,
as to any other individuals.

Should Not Be Approved.

SnOuIo MOI DC APPIOveos
It is not probable that the interstate
commerce commission will approve the
advances in freight charges under new
classifications proposed by the Eastern
railroads. AZ to the merits Of the new
classification, the general public knows
little; this being one OF the most DIM
cult matters connected with railroad
operation. ana one concerning which
the ablest railroad men themselves hold
differing opinions. But the advance in
freight rates VIII be fought bitterly,
and the commission VIII not consent
to it unless II can be shown to be clear
~ necessary.
The contention of the roads II that. a.
they have to bear the burden Of rising
prices, they should be entitled to bal
ance the account by raising their own.

than it did two or three years ago. IN
creased cost of operation. in their judg-
nent, justifes higher rates. In a time
Of depression they lose business, and
the tendency of all transportation rates
has been to q constantly lower level.
They claim that they should be per-
nitted to share In dement's AZ well a.
burdens.
This does not make out case that
the commission can consider. II rail-
road can show that its rates do not
furnish earnings SUFFICIENT to meet ex-
penses Of an economical administration
and pay any return on capital actually
invested. it can come into court That 1t
should be allowed to raise rates sim
ply because Of general rise OF prices
cannot be admitted. To some ex-
tent. no doubt, the cost Of operation IL
increased. But this IL offset by the
larger volume OF business ana Of gross
and net earnings in time Of general
prosperity II net earnings are salts
factory and growing, the ground Of
complaint vanishes.
The whole fabric of railway legisla-
ton IL built upon the difference between
these enterprises and those Of q private
character. The office Of common car
rier, the relation sustained to the pub
lie, will not warrant railroad enter
prises in taking the advantage Of ris-
ing market that is open to the individ-
ual. The power to regulate rates and to
determine their reasonableness as meas
ured by returns on capital. places the
roads in separate category. An adj
vance Of rates must be justified by the
actual financial condition Of the carrier
in question, and not by any general CON-
sideration of the state Of the market
and the profits in other forms of in
dustry. The burden Of proof being
thus thrown on the Eastern roads. their
demand Is not likely to be granted.

Gold Exports a Sign of Strength

Gold Exports Sign OF Strength.
The difference between q shipment Of
some $10.000.0O0 in gold to Europe during
a week at the present time and In Feb
ruary. 1898, shows as nothing else could
do the changed conditions wrought by
Republican craftsmanship in the main
tenance Of public credit ana the encour-
agement Of American industry. What
was then an evidence Of alarming weak
ness 10 now a sign Of strength. Then
frightened capital was escaping from
the country as fast as steamships could
carry 1t, and the treasury. to avert a
suspension Of specie payments and uni
versal bankruptcy, was selling bonds to
bring 1t back again. Now we have
more gold than we know what to do
with. and are lending some Of it on good
terms to the embarrassed countries o;
Europe, and exchanging some more Of
1t for good American securities. These
the holders have been compelled to part
with to relieve their necessities. We
are gathering them in at prices below
their real value. and will be more than

THREW VITRIOL.
A St. Louis Woman Horribly Burned
by Acid.-.A Rival in a Love Affair
Suspected.

st. Louis, Mo-, March 15.-The best
men on the force of Chief of Detectives
Desmond are engaged to-day in looking
for an unknown woman who called at
the residence of Mrs. M. +. McVean a
widow, and threw vitriol in the latter's
face. Several weeks ago Mrs. McVean
caused a sensation by appearing at
police headquarters with box of candy
which she said she had received
through the mails. She charged a
prominent young woman of this city
with having sent it to her because she
was jealous of the attentions paid Mrs.
McVean by well-known West End
physician.
Mrs. McVean is unconscious and
blind. Her family and physicians will
not permit her to be seen.
Before becoming unconscious Mrs.
McVean told her sister, Miss McGraw,
that a strange woman, whom she de-
scribed, called her to the door by ring
ing the bell and threw the contents Of
a bottle into her face.
No person other than Mrs. McVean
saw the acid thrown; no one saw the
strange woman about the place.

Charter BilI-Reform Not Wanted
Harrisburg, March 15.-What is
known as the Bruce charter bill, which
was designed to materially change the
method of government of the city of
Pittsburg, was reported to the House
to-day from committee with an adverse
recommendation. This action kills
the attempt to pass reform legislation
for Pittsburg at this session. At the
time the bill was introduced the state
ment was made that the followers OF
Senator Quay were pushing it with the
design of embarrassing Senator Finn,
the leader of the anti-Quay forces, who
is also the head of the Republican ma
chine in Pittsburg. The proposed law
was fognd to also embarrass Senator
Magee, who is supporting Senator
Quay. 1t is said that an order was
received from Senator Quay, now in
Florida, directing his followers to "let
Finn and Magee alone" and the meas
ure was accordingly killed in the COM
mittee.

ANOTHER KINDsOF BEEF.

Timed Beef That Has Kept Good and
Sweet for Eighteen YeArs-rhe sort the
British Army Used in ZuluIand.
Chicago, March 15.-William 7 Will
B son, park commissioner and founder
OF the Wilson Packing Company, which
supplied the British army with canned
beef during the first Zulu war, where
the temperature was hotter than it
was in Cuba and Porto Rico, said to-
day:
There was never such an article as
canned roast beef for commercial pur
poses. 1t is possible to can it. but too
expensive to make it practicable. Ev-
cry bit of beef that is sold under the
label of canned roast Def is nothing
but boiled meat. Canned roast beef
is trade lie
Il have some canned beef and tongue
at my house which my company put up
eighteen years ago, and it is as good
and sweet as on the day is was canned
will not say whether the beef that
is being put up now will keep as long
as that. 1t does not look, from the tes-
timony before the War Inquiry Board,
as though it would. Competition has
driven the packing companies to can
their beef in L different way from that
in which it was canned ten years ago.
To save money and time they have
to use less effective processes.
When the first zu4u war broke out
was supplying the English government
with canned compressed beef-not corned
beef. but beef in square cans, that had
been packed by vacuum pressure. When
