So Bishop Potter is threatened "i'h

op Nicholson. of Milwaukee. says that
Western church authorities will not sub

priesthood. and he personally believes that
Briggs is ''one of those loud -mouthed fcl-

who like to be talked about.
II is not necessary to discuss the Iuss-

whether Bishcp Potter has been too

him The bald fact is that in his sweeping

seems to be somewhat lacking in that ele-

supposed to be an excmpiar. He says that
Briggs is ''an iuterioaer and vaingiorious

A Kansas Necessity.

The early proposition TO make Fred Funston
Governor of Kansas to send him to the United
States Senate is thoroughly in accord
with the idea of glory and renown in that State.
In Kansas man is regarded Possessing any
genuine title to distinction pledge OF fame

rivers in the face of a savage foe: he may seek
reputation at the cannon's mouth; he may rid the

MORE EDIcTs AGAINST MINERS.
Additions to Hules Concerning the
Cocar d'Alcne Strikers

Coeur d'Alcne Strikers.
Wardner. Idaho. May 10.-Two new
clauses were added by the State and Fed
eral authorities today TO the proclamation
prohibiting members of the Miners Union
obtaining work in the mines of the Occur
d'Alenes because of the criminal compile
ity of Shoshone unions in the labor riots
OF April. 29- These clauses go even a
step farther in the war against the union
than does the original proclamation.
They are as follows: Parties applying
for permits to work under ground in the
mines of Shoshoae county. Idaho. must be
prepared. first. to deny all participation
in the riots OF April 90 in Sh6shone
county. and, second, to deny or renounce
membership in any society which has in
cited. encouraged. or approved said riots
or other violation Of the law"
These sweeping edicts will be enforced
with the utmost rigidity, which may lead
eventually to an extension of the fight be-
tween the State and Federal law. on the
one hand. and the Miners Union on the
other. Sheriff France is busily prepar-
ing permits. without which no miner
can secure work hereafter in any of the
vast mines Of the whole Cosur d'Alene
district. one of the richest in output in
the United States.
The funeral Of Union Miner Jack Smith,
who was killed by strikers during the
riot Of April %. took place yesterday.
There was no demonstration OF any kind
by the unions or by union men. single
man followed the body to the grave He
was ex-Sherif Henry. who had served un-
der the disgraced Sheriff Young, now q
prisoner with the strikers, under guard
Of General Merriam's troops.

Molin.ux'- Present Position.

Whatever else rsy be thought of the
action Of the New York grand jury in re-
fusing to indict roung Molineux there is
ample ground for the assertion that the
case against him. as handled by the pros
ccuting authorities. seems to have been
bungied from the start. In the first place
a great volume of testimony was taken,
upon which grand jury found an indict-
ment. That Indictment was annulled. not
on account of the insufficiency of the evil
dence but because the case had not been
presented to the grand jury with due re-
gard to the formalities of law. Then
second grand jury took hold of the mat
ter and Immediately became involved in
"A controversy with the district attorneys
Office. Its proceedings have been secret,
and the complaint is that it has usurped
functions OF investigation which essential
ly belong to trial jury. grand jury's
duty is to find an indictment upon evi-
dence establishing prima facie case. but
it is not supposed. when testimony is con-
fiicting. to determine the credibility of
witnesses. The second Molineux grand ju-
ry called expert witnesses and undertook
TO pass upon their veracity in defiance of
the law theory that a trial jury shall hear
the evidence of the defendant and deter
mine the credibility Of the witnesses
The public, generally, will be little con-
cerned with these legal details. but it will
very naturally want to know why there has
been so gross misunderstanding of the
iechnicalities of the law when high-priced
legal experts are supposed to have all such
matters at their finger tips.
II the people have a strong prima flcie
case against the accused as Assistant Dis
irict Attorney Osborne says, justice
requires trial in open court-re-
quires that the evidence against him
should be heard in open court
before a competent Judge. How does
1t happen. anyhow, that Assistant
District Attorney Osborne. instead of Dis
trict Attorney Gardiner, is now the chief
figure in the case, SO far as the prosecu-
-tion is concerned? Why is the district at
torney content, at this stage of the pro-
ceedines. to retire to the background! The
reputation of his Office is at stake and his
seeming retreat from leadership can be

but it should be terminated as soon as possible.
for steamships represent great deal of money
and it is costly to keep them in ideness. besides
which the island needs the commerce they would
bring to it. This is one OF the subordinate difR
culties involved in rescue of Cuba from Spain
and it serves to call attention to the fact that
the creation Of legal status for the island is
progressing but slowly. Cuba now is neither Span
