CoRCoRANs CONVICTION.

The union element at Wallace and
Wardner seem to be much surprised at
the conviction and sentence of Corco-
ran, the conspiriator and murderer.
They declare that his conviction was
wholly unexpected, that in fact they
looked for his acquittal. Yet these same
men insist that they were engaged in
no lawlessness, that they represent the
law abiding labor unions. If so, how
comes it that they are SO much con-
cerned over the conviction by jury
of the country Of this man Corcoran?
If, as the unionists insist, all the law
lessness was by outsiders: that the
unions neither countenapced nor gave
it that their members are so much con-
cerned over the fate of one whose crime
has brought so mulch Of disrepute upon
the Idaho unions?
They ought rather to rejoice that the
law has been indicated. if. as they
contend, they are law abiding, and do
not believe in resort to force, arms and
murder to intimidate those with whom
they contend. The fact is that Cor
eoran got off cheaply. He ought to
have been convicted of murder in the
first degree, and even under the verdict
found he should have been sent TO
prison for the full limit of the law
fixing penalty bounds.
But it is a fact that Corcoran did
represent the union membership; did
act with their knowledge and that they
| cate his conviction because he was
lawlessly fighting their battles. When
unionism thus descends to violence and
murder; when it condones and aids law
lessness: when it destroys property and
life or gives aid and comfort to those
who do, it becomes the object of loath-
| ing and scorn.
Properly directed and kept within the
bounds originally intended, the union
| is beneficent, helpful to labor, beneficial
| to the trades ethics. and improves the
standards of Industry But that the
miners of the unions at Wardner and
! in that section We're engaged in the
lawlessness there which resulted in
1 arson, assault, destruction of property
and murder, is too plainly established
/ to be doubted by any one. True union
| lists should stand with the law and con-
denim such of the organization as bring
this great labor agency into disrepute.

Ants Versus Bullets.

Only the other day the Kansas volun.
teers got under fire so heavy that,
after spreading out in line of skirmish-
ers, the order was given to lie down.
One unfortunate soldier Topped square
~ into an ant hill. Thousands of the
little pests swarmed angrily over him
biting with the peculiar penetration Of
Filipino ants In a second the soldier
jumped up swearing, and almost
screaming with the pain.
Lie down, my man. shouted the
Captain.
"All right, SIR" and down Topped the
unhappy soldier. He could stand it only
few seconds. when he leaped once
more to his feet.
Lie down, 1 tell you." insisted the
Captain.
..Blankety- blank. Captain, I can't, y
protested the poor fellow.
Just then a sheet of Nauser bullets
few past him, at all nights, from his
shins to his head. 1t was marvellous
that the standing soldier was net hit in
dozen places. But he changed his
mind swiftly about the possibility OF
lying down. Down he went, regardless
of ants, shouting to his commander:
-"Yes, I car. Captain! BY the holy
smoke yes I can, STR
And hes remained down until the or
der came to rise.--Leslie's Weekly.

1t is not generally known that all
the right Of Spain to California rested
on the same basis as her claim to the
West Indies and the Philippines, and
was derived entirely from a grant made
to Spain by the Pope Previous to the
discovery of America by Columbus in
1492, the Portuguese had discovered
the Azores Islands in longitude 81
west, and on the strength of that dis
covery claimed that the countries dis
covered by Columbus belonged to the
crown Of Portugal, and that the Span
iards should be wholly excluded from
them. The Spaniards. denying this pre-
tension, referred the matter to the then
Pope, Alexander vi. He was there
fore. by general consent, the acknowl-
edged source of all lawful title to land.
He assumed to decide the case thus re-
ferred to his decision, and on May =,
1893, determined the matter in dispute
by drawing an imaginary line of longi-
tude 100 leagues west of the Azores,
and granting to the Spanish monarchs
all countries inhabited by infidels,
which they had already discovered or
might afterward discover, lying to the
west, and to the crown of Portugal all
those lying to the east of that line.
This line was afterward removed 2IO
leagues further to the west, by a
treaty made June 4, 1494, between the
Kings of Portugal and Spain This title
was subsequently acknowledged b.
King Henry VII. of England

that the effect Of the change in direc-
ton of the national Imagination VIII
lessen the hold protection has upon the
popular mind, because American pro-
lection is due primarily to American
temper. There will come upon us the
necessity of dealing with the Spanish
tariffs in the new dependencies, which
are of character to offend our sensi-
bilities. We must reckon upon the in
f1uence to. be exerted by this change
upon our relations to Great Britain.
With traditional sagacity that ma
ton used the occasion of the war to
ingratiate herself with the nation
whose speedy development she fore
saw. That she did help US greatly is
undeniable; that she sincerely sympa-
thized with us is not for us to deny.
1t is not certain that we needed her
help, but we knew that we might need
it and felt sure that we would have
1t if we did" Other nations felt this
too and that probably is one reason
why the help was not called for.
The essayist then discusses the effect
the change will have upon free trade
and protection doctrines. England S
friendship does not necessarily mean
free trade. Her own colonies do not
have it, but that protective policies will
suffer modification by reason of our
new conditions is clearly the opinion
of the monographist, because there will
be relative free trade between this
the competitive experiment will deter
mine our future policy. Our best for
eign markets, he urges, will always be
With countries we cannot annex, and
there is no logical reason why our mar
kets should not be so. 1--WE might
adopt a policy of commercial expan-
sion and reject political expansion, if
we had a mind to; but should we ever
have mind to? 1t is doubtful to say
the least" Mr.. Powers adds:
These conclusions may seem to be
disparaging to democracy, but 1 do not
feel them to be SO. Democracy is gov
eminent based upon the popular will,
not government based upon the popular
wisdom. The intellectual initiative, the
power of exact analysis and large fore
sight requisite for the guidance of So
ciety-these have ever been and must
ever be the contribution of the few. The
problem of democracy is now as ever
how to enforce the wisdom of the few
by the will of the many. 1t need not
disturb us to discover that the many
are moved by other considerations than
those which influence the few. Here as
everywhere there is law, and we govern
by learning to obey.

SACRAMENTO SHOULD ACT AT
ONCE.

The first appropriation for rural pos
tai delivery was made by Congress Tor
the year 1896, and was so small sum
as $4,000. The experiment was so sue
cessful that for 1898 the appropriation
was raised to $4,000 and that for
1899 to 100000. 1t is under this lat
ter, if any, that we will get free rural
postal delivery in this vicinity-that is
ing Postal Agent, now coming west
ward by rail and to enter California in
side of three days. If however, we per-
NIT him to be switched off and pass
Sacramento by, we will have none but
ourselves to blame.
California presents the most inviting
field for experiments in free postal de-
livery in rural parts, because of our CHI
matte conditions For this reason the
Postoffice Department has already es-
tablished thirteen distributing points in
this State-of which six are in Santa
Clara Courtyard put the service into
operation with success. Only few
more will be established this year, be-
cause the limit of the appropriation will
be reached. There is now one point in
Arizona, one in. Arkansas, one in
Louisiana, one in Minnesota, one in
Wisconsin, one in Washington, and one
in South Dakota. Colorado has 8,

Ex-Secretary Hoke Smith is out in
denunciation of the war to suppress
the Aguinaldo insurrection. He de-
clares that his heart bleeds for the
Filipino. and that he objects to scat
tering civilization With Calling guns. .
That is a humane expression, certainly.
But Mr.. Smith--whom we should eX-
pect under any circumstances when an
out to be "forninst' the Government
of the .sins''-forgets that nearly all
civilization in the beginning OF intro
duction to new fields went in on the
wings of the bullet or the point of the
spear. The fair State he lives in was
won from ssayagery in that way; the
nation that has distinguished him by
the conferment of high office fought
to it's peace against uncivilized and I'M
civilizing forces. Most efforts to civil
ize by unaided moral suasion have
failed. Even the Christian religion has
moved forward beneath the shelter OF
warlike blades. It by no means fol-
lows that force is always brutal, or
that the higher Office of civilizing IN
fiuences is degraded by the use of the
weaponry of war. With all respect for
Mr.. Hoke Smiths bleeding heart, it is
suggested that the suasion of a Calling
gun, forerunning the civilization of the
Anglo-Saxon, is preferable to the an
archy, intolerance, passionate and re-
vengeful rule of a. semi-savage people
led by such a confessed traitor to his
word as Aguinaldo.

MISS BARToN,s WORK IN CUBA

Clara Barton, returned lately from
declares that the Red Cross workers
found not one in a hundred of Cubans
knew before the American advent how
to handle the commonest household
tools to which we are accustomed.
There was no genuine modern hospi-
tai system: the asylums were mere
names for the most part, and of mu-
nicipal cleanliness the people knew
practically nothing.
That is what Spanish civilization and
church domination gave to Cuba, dirt,
ignorance and unthrift. Mrs. Freer,
one of Miss Barton's assistant mana
gers, declares that even the washer
women of Cuba were ignorant of so
simple an implement as clothespin,
while a wringer excited their wonder
greatly, and delighted them so much
that they would insist upon passing
the washing twice through the ma
chine for the fun of it." When shown

and the detachable handles of these
simple implements, astonished as well
as delighted them.

All of our new tangled tools please
these natives beyond expression. Peo-
pie say here as well as in Cuba that the
Cubans won't work with American
tools, but the only reason is that they
never had the chance The workmen
are perfectly delighted with our Amer
lean hoes. They say they are lighter
and more easily welded than the clum-
sy Cuban hoe. Our garden rakes they
saw last week for the first time in their

classed es summer catarrh; catarrh of

tarrh of the upper bowels in children is
called cholera infantum; in grown

these are exactly alike in their pathol-

tarrh of the stomach, will cure catarrh
of the bowels. Pe-ru-na will cure ca
