NO BAD FAITH.

The aPress -Democrat'' of Santa Rosa
says but we must think with parti-
san prompting behind it rather than
sincerity:
The bad faith of the War Depart
ment is plainly shown in the fact that
Rear Admiral Sampson has found it
necessary to file a suit libeling the
Maria Teresa in order to secure for
himself and his men their share of the
prize money earned in the naval en-
gagement off Santiago. This circum-
stance affords small encouragement to
commanders who may have opportuni-
ties to distinguish themselves in the
future.
Our contemporary ought to know
but perhaps it is excusable for its
ignorance-that the course pursued by
the Admiral is the proper one. 1t is
the course desired by the Government
that all these claims may be deter
mined and settled by judicial decree.
Indeed it is the very purpose of the
prize award laws that the matter
shall be made one of judicial record
in each case of the character indicated.
Hence Dewey also filed his claim in
court It is the safer and better way
and puts an effectua1 stopper" upon
after political attacks because Of these
claims. Instead of leaving the adjust
ment of such matters to the judgment
Of auditors Of departments, involving
as they do construction of law, it is the
practice that the claimant shall go into
court, libel the prize, make proof and
record of the facts, and have judicial
determination of them.
1t does not indicate that there is re-
sistance Of the claim that it is prose-
cuted at law. 1t may be that in GER
tain cases the Government will oppose,
for not infrequently improper and ex-
aggerated claims are filed, and in such
cases there must be resistance, issue
joined and trial. No, there Is no
friction, laundering, bad faith or in
sincerity in the business referred to in
SIMPSONS or Dewey's cases. It is
simply following the line of wise prac-
tice and putting up judicial bars
against political bulls.

He Had the Old Man.

In some rural districts of England
there are held annually hiring fairs,
where farmers and others attend to en-
gage servants. At one held in Glouces-
tershire last autumn a farmer opened
negotiations with a lad who seemed
suitable for his purpose. Various
questions having been asked and an
swered, the farmer inquired at last.
Hast got a character from thy last
place?''
mo" replied the boy; "but my old
gaffer be about somewhere, and I can
get he to write I one"
Every WE'LL" was the reply, thee get
it and meet 1 here at O'clock"
The time came, so did the farmer and
the boy.
Hast got thy character" was the
query. The answer came short and
sharp:
mo, but I ha' got thine, and J.
beant a-coming. London Answers.

American control is completed? The
proposition is sufficient answer to Agui-
naldo's appeal for recognition. There
is nothing to recognize.

The Cleveland people, who are now

if it had no defense against the tyranA

of ST. Louis. In 1856 there was a great
railroad strike in the West on the

merchants, professional men, butchers,
bakers and all who have dealings with

supporters and went groveling in the
dust to have the ban lifted from them
It was case of fighting fire with fire,
and the right won. Retaliation is not
to be approved: the taking of the Law
into ones own hands cannot be adj

corner, innocent of.offense and for sim

a man, he is a cowardly cur who will
not strike back. If the Cleveland peo-
pie had the wit and courage of those Of
st. Louis they would never have cow

ports That the Situation Is n Difficult One.
WARDNER, Idaho. May 3.-Fifty-four war
rants have been sworn out and constables are
making arrests under the protection OF the
colored troops. The dynamiters are fleeing
TO the hills. and their cabins are being searched.
The town is wild with excitement. About If
teen arrests have been made.
The body OF Jack smith. the union mar who
was killed. was brought back from Canyon
Creek to-day. and the inquest commenced.
The body Of Cheyne. the non-union man who
died yesterday. is now or its way back here
from Spokane for the inquest.
Boise. Idaho. May 3.-Gov Steunenberg to-
day prepared his proclamation declaring Sho-
shone county, in the Ccrur d'Alenes. under
martial law. He will promulgate it tomorrow.
The news from the scene indicates that tho
presence Of troops has served to dampen the
ardor OF the strikers. Instead Of fighting many
OF them are trying to get out Of the county.
and unless they are playing possum the threats
they have made will amount to nothing.
Gov. Steunenberg received notice to-day
from State Auditor Sinclair that many OF the
strikers we're leaving the State. The Governor
at once notified him to stop them. The Auditor
then had a special train loaded with deputies
sent to Harrison. near the line. to bring back
strikers who were stopping there on their way
out of the State. The Governor feels that the
prompt action Of the War Department in send
ing troops to the scene has broken the back
bone of the riot.
1t Is stated that the Montana union sent rep
resentatives to the Cnur d'Alenes. urging the
miners to lay down their arms.
WASHINGTON. May 3.-The War Department
has received the following despatch from Gen.
Merriam:
BOISE. Idaho. May 3.
"Adjutont. General. Washington:
Arrived this morning. Conference with
Governor discloses various difficulties in deal
ing with riots aud conspiracies. Some hope OF
identifying offenders through conference at
Wardner tomorrow. One union man dead and
one non-union man MORALLY wounded. De-
stIuction OF mining property very great. Troops
from Boise. Vancouver. Walla: Walla and Spo-
kane moving for Wardner to-day. Troops from
Harrison. Assiniboine, Russell and Douglas
ordered to-day to Mullan. Will go to Wardner
tonight myself. Number OF non-union men in
district about 1000. Number armed and act
ing in riots about 100.
MERRIAM. Brigadier-G General"
Some OF the troops ordered to Wardner and
Mullan are negroes belonging to the Twenty
fourth Infantry. Six companies Of this regi-
ment and two troops of the Fourth Cavalry
compose the force mentioned by Gen. Merriam
as having been ordered to the scene OF the
mining troubles. 1t was stated by War De-
partment officials to-day that there Is no racial
prejudice in that part OF the country. and that
the negro troops will not encounter opposition
on account OF their color.

SINGLE TEACHERS SCORE A POINT.

Vigorous Objection in Board of Education
to Appointing Married Women.
The question OF the employment OF married
women as teachers in New York schools was
brought up in a rather unexpected manner at
yesterdays meeting OF the Board OF Educa-
ton, and a vote on the appointment Of several
resulted in a practical victory for the unmar-
ried women. many OF whom were present and
applauded vigorously. The matter came up
upon the submission by the Committee on
Teachers Of a list OF teachers for appointment.
The committees report stated that all the can
didates had been taken in regular order from
the eligible list.
Commissioner Harrison asked excitedly IL

have no right to appoint them II there are" he
continued. 81 have been informed that there
