A short time ago an ex-bank official

was being tri ed for a serious crime, and
both the pro secution and defense were
rather careful n the gelection of jurors,
Finally big, raw-boned swede was
presented, and neither side wanted him
He was as green as the leaves in June,
and his knowledge of the english language
was chiefly Of the Kind that isn't so. He
wanted to get on the jury, and insisted
that what he didn't know about English
wouldn't have done Webster any good.
"Do you know the meaning of larceny"
asked the attorney for the prosecution.

Struggle of Modern Life.

The struggle of modern life is a
problem that pals on the social and
economic fabric OF this period.
Wherever people mingle---in the
shop, the store, the office, or on the
street-the question Of what is to be
q ne to secure justice between men
p d er existing complex modern
conditions is discussed from all as
iaots and with all degrees ofintelli.
gence. Pulpit and press also take up
Up thediscussion. and political par !
lies set forth their opinion on this
subject in their platforms. The lit
srature Of the day is likewise perme-
sfed with economic discussions.
Even ordinary society" novels
end love stories have to bring in
mention OF the struggle between CAP
ital and labor, the poverty of the
elunas, and the hardships Of the
poor; withal, there is no one to offer
1 practical solution. Time alone and
the people themselves will meet
fhe conditions as they develop.

The Spanish generals who were

post unlucky lot OF people; They
are, being punished by their govern
ment for getting whipped. Toral,
who surrendered Santiago, will es-
cape because he acted under super
ior authority, but come of the others

Colonel San Martin, who was in
command in Porto Rico, has been
sentenced to imprisonment for life.
A Madrid correspondent says of
this case: "He left here to-day un-
der an escort of military police for
qarthagena, en- route to the terrible
penal settlement of Cueta, on the
north coast of Africa, just opposite
Gibraltar, where he is to spend the
remainder of his days in the most
terrible form Of captivity that it is
possible to conceive. / caught a

picted on the face Of this once bril-
liant officer.

THE BILL PASSED.

The state of Idaho has reason to fell
cltate itself this morning over the fact
that the legislature has passed an act
prohibiting gambling, and the people
will feel thankful to the IL men in the
senate who stood by their guns through
out the long fight and made it possible
for this law to be placed on the statue
books,
1t was hard fight. Every device of
parliamentary law and every subtlety of
argument were resorted to to defeat the
measure, while some influences were at
work that would not bear the light of
day, But the determined contest of the
opposition availed nothing beyond a
waste OF several days of the time of the
senate; there were IL men who could not
be stamped from their position, and the
Dill becomes a law through their firm
adhesion to the principles they advocated
While the bill passed the senate by
majority OF only one vote, it has the In
oorsment OF vast majority of the people
and Its passage will be hailed UP and
down through the state with the greatest
satisfaction. The vote in the house more
nearly reflected the sentiment of the
state. In that branch number of votes
were cast by representatives who did SO
IRON constituents wished it. 1t is unfort-
unately true that, in some counties
communities have been domined by the
Idea that the revenue derived from games
is OF too much Importance to be given up.
This feeling has led to expressions from
business men in opposition to prohibition
OF gambling, because they are the tax
payers and have helievd they could not
afford to lose the license money from the
public treasury. But in these same coun-
tries, or in some of them at least, it would
be found, if q vote could be taken, that
the people as whole do not favor gam
bling. The men who, by the sweat of their
DroWs, earn the money that constitutes
such large proportion of the receipts of
games would very generally vote agaist
the evil; The man who, under the light
OF candle, drives the drill that pushes
the level into the buried treasure of the
nils, is not gambler at heart. He is
soclable and little weak, and when he
walks int o the gambling saloon with
his months wages in his pocket he may
De drawn in to a game and lose every
cent. When it is gone, he realizes that
he has done an injustice to himself and
tohis family, if he has one, and he would
gladly vote to close the game that proved
a temptation COR him. That is true of
great numbers of men who contribute to
the prosperity of gambling rooms, and it
IS more than probable that vote in any
county that has been believed to be op-
posed to the anti-gam bling bill would
show majority in its favor.
And, in passing il may. be stated that

THEY DON'T AGREE,

Opponents of expansion are firing
in the air. Their opposition is based
On conjecture instead OF authorita-
tive information. Thus Representa-
tive Johnson, declaring against the
administrators policy, exalted the
character and aspirations of the
leaders of the so-called Filipino
government. Aguinaldo he consid-
ers another Washington; Agoncillo,
q second Franklin; and the Filipino
soldiers the equals Of the heroic men
who stood for American liberty at
Lexington and Bunker Hill. He
argued that "today they had a
stable government, republican in
form president, vice, president and
congress, the whole founded upon
the free consent of the governm ent.o
The day after Mr.. johnson deliv-
cred his melodamatic speech in the
house, Senitor Mallory spoke
against expansion. "The FIJI iopinos,
he said. "were semi. barbarous, if
not absolutely savage" They were
not only unfit for self-govern ment,
but they were unfit to be governed
by the United States.
These two addresses illustrated
the haphazard nature of the oppo-
sition to expansion. Even the lead.
ers of that movement speak with out
accurate knowledge of the subject
upon which they assume to enligh-
ten the American people,
Contrast this irresponsible course
with the careful, enlightened policy
of President Mckinley. He has the
constant advice of Dewey, Otis and
their corps of painstaking assistants,
Our minister and x.minister to

suls-in various Asiatic cities have
been consulted and commission
made up Of the pick of American
public life after weeks of laborous
research, have brought back from
Paris treaty founded on the
fullest information which could be
gathered.
Senator Mallory betrays his in
consistency when he argues that we
may have one policy for Puerto
Rico, and another policy for the
Philippines. You see he represents
Florida in the United States senate,
and Florida, from its proximity to |
Puerto Rico, might gain some
material advantage from the an.
nexation of that island. He is des-
perately alarm lest Filipinos might

come to these shores or send here
the products of their labor, but he
views with complacency the posi-
bility of Puerto Rican 'tinvasioD."
As matter of fact, natives OF a
colonial possession do not overrun
the proprietary country. England
is not troubled with Hindoo inva-
sion, nor Holland with visits from
foreign possessions.
Equally groundless is the fear OF
imports of island products. Coffee
cocoa, sugar-cane, manila hemp
and manila tobacco are the staple
products of the Philippine islands.
Part Of these are now on the free
list, and it is an open question
whether the others should not be.
Most of the opposition to the
administratioh's policy on this
question springs from the natural
peryersity of mankind-the desireto
be contentious, to have an tissue"
and to be 7agin the government" If
President Mckinley had directed
the peace commission to throw
over the Philippines, and had
recalled Dewey and Otis, a large
of the SO. called "anti-
imperialists" would now be bel
lowing for expansion.

Farm profits of $500, $500, $500
and even occasionally $1,000 per
acre, seem vain boasts. But the
manager of the Vineland colony,
Mr.. E. HI Libby of Concord, Wash
ington, writes US that he has affa-
davits ct the growers showing that
such profits are quite common
among the fruit and vegetable pro-
ducers of Lewiston Valley. The
reasons are, the small area of COM
peting lands, the superior markets
afforded by the nearby mining,
camps, and proximity to the noun
tain towns of the interior. Such
profits, with a mild winter climate,
pleasant homes and good schools,
etc, make Vineland an ideal COM
munity.

From some of the maneuvers in
the legislature it might be supposed
that protection of gambling has the
chief object in assembling that body
In the first place, the scheme Of
re-enactment was threatened unless
the anti-ga milling law were left out
Everything had to stand still un-
less gambling were granted special
favor. Last week the senate ad-
journed from Friday until Monday
in order to get ont one more vote
against the anti-gambling bill.
Some senators may feel obliged
to vote against the pending measure,
butt is difficult to understand how
they find the gambling industry to
be of such Importance that the work
of the senate must be suspended for
a day and half in its interest. Eek.

Strange news comes from the
Puge1SQund Country now and then.
The latest information is to be
the effect that oyster ''cocktails'
are to be prepared there and shipped
broadcast over the Union. We have
known of whiskey cocktails and
several other connections of like
nature, but oyster cocktails! A
Tacoma paper says that the new
industry deals in Puget Sound
bivales, oatsup vinegar, salt and
pepper, but not a drop of alchol
in any form; The food is described
as wholesome and palatable, and it
