A conviction has just been obtained in
Illinois under the antitrust law, the
first ever obtained in that state. The
officers ana mem beers Of the Photo-Engrav-
ers' association are the victims, and they
are liable to fine or imprisonment OF
both. The hearing in this case took
place two months ago. The defendants
comprise many of the best known bust
ness men of Chicago. The substance of
the Indictments returned against the
Members of the alleged trust is that the
defendants entered into an unlawful
combination to place the management
and control of the combination in the
hands OF nine trustees for the purpose OF
regulating and fixing the prices of
photO-engravings haIt-tone printings
and zinc etchings. On this charge they
were declared guilty.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Lew
iston Sun, continues to discuss Prohi-
billion with great vigor. But is all this
effort really worth while? Nobody S
taking much stock in prohibition as at
present enforced. Everybody who has
eyes to see and ears to hear admits that
it is farce and delusion, and as far
few seem to care to have it otherwise.

The Maine Farmer apparently thinks
the Governors argument in favor of a
state auditor, which was published in
the PRESS sometime ago in the shape
of an interview, is conclusive. The
main feature of that argument was that
the council was accustomed to let bills
go through in order to keep on good
terms with their constituents which a
state auditor would not.

SECRETARY HAYS FORETHOUGHT
New York Post.

The apparent certainty that the foreign
ministers in Pekin are still alive, though
in urgent need OF succOr, is a further
demonstration of the far seeing wisdom
Of Secretary Hay in assuming from the
first, that affairs in China were not so
frightful as they had been pictured. The
latest dispatches do not, indeed, tend
altogether to confirm the authenticity
OF the COnger message 1t may turn out
that that message was only one of many
adrOit documents which Sheng and his
associates have had up their sleeves. New
ertheless, the assumption that it was
genuine, falling proof that it was fOrg-
cry was diplomatic stroke of the high
est acutenesS, and made it materially east
er for the United States to adopt the at
t1tude it has towards the whole Chinese
situation. But for the firm and digni-
fed stand taken by the United States,
1t is by no means improbable that the
Powers would have FASTENED to follow
the lead of Germany or Russia if either
OF them had declared war against China,
and would by this time have been all by
the ears in their discussion of alliances
programmes and partitions The demand
of the United States that, however much
actual lighting there might be, there
should be no formal declaration OF war
until the official completely of the Chi .
nese government had been clearly PROV
en-, not only made impossible the adop-
tion OF any other policy by the European
powers, but contributed more than any
thing else to secure communication with
the besieged legations. The result is
that the civilized world is still at liber-
ty to deal with the Chinese as distinct
nom China, and work for the restoration
OF order as if the outbreaks had taken
place In some other part OF the world.

CURRENT COMMENT.
EXPLOITING OF WHITE SUPREM-
ACY.
(From the Manchester Mirror.)

(From the Manchester Mirror
While wa condemn unsparingly the
crimes of Southern white men growing
out of the racial question, it would be
we'll TO ask ourselves if other parts of the
country are as devoted to the spirit of
Abraham Lincoln as they have been in
the past and as they profess to be now.
During recent years there has been a
growing disposition to Insist upon white
supremacy throughout the world, and es-
peclally shat sort that is loosely charac-
Uer1zed as AnglO-SaXOn. 1t has been ex-
plotted in connection with the movements
OF European nations in Africa, in refer
ence to the prospective partition of China,
in relation to the overthrow OF the native
government in Hawaii, and likewise in
connection with the subjuga5iOn of the
F1lipinOs. The keynote OF it all has been
the elevation Of the white man as the
ruler Of the cOlored man, black, brown
or yellow B = a parity of reasoning some
OF our citizens, OF mischlevOus inclina
lions, have concluded that the white man
in the United States has an equal right
to be paramount as the white man
abroad. in the development of this
question may be noted curious incOnsis-
tencies; for example, the attitude of the
Southern politician who ''buIldozes'' his
black neighbOrs and demands indepen-
dence for the Filipinos
1t is certainly regrettable that circum-
stances have forced upon Us new problems
before we have satisfactorily solved the
old ones.

Development of the Tom Thumb.

The Tomb Thumb company's new double
compartment working shaft is now down
$50 feet and will be sunk to the soo-foot
level, from which point crosscut will be
run TO catch the vein. This work. says
the Colville Statesman Index, will require
about two months, and possibly a little
longer, owing to the pitch Of the vein. The
vein at the 2oo-foot level was found to he
considerably Strengthened up, and 1t may
be little further through the country
rock from the bottom of the new shaft TO
the vein than present calculations would
indicate. When the vein Is reached 1t will
be necessary to make upraises for air, and
system of ventilation will have to be
supplied before work In the extraction of
the ore can be safely pursued. The new
plant viii consist OF drill compressor
plant and fifty horsepower hoist. The
machinery will serve all practical pur-
poses of the mine until the 500-foot level is
reached. 1t will raise 200 tons of ore each
twenty-four hours. and will also dispose
of the waste matter. There is no doubt
that the plant will be equal TO every de-
mand for possibly two or three years to
come For the present. and perhaps for n
year to come. the Tom Thumb will send
its ores to the custom mill for treatment,
but In time the Tom Thumb will be In po-
sition to put in Its own reduction plant.
