The spectacle the richest and most
powerful nation on the globe presents,
at this time, as portrayed by Senator
Hale, has been painted by the press in
quite as vivid colors. Possibly it was a
breach Of ''strict neutrality" TO say the
same things in the upper branch of the
national legislature. But it was a lesser
breach than the purchase in this coun-
try by England of mules, horses, food
supplies, arms aud ammunition, not to
stay the ravages of famine in India,
but to increase the ravages of war in
the "most brutal manifestation of
strength the world has ever seen"

The failure of the steamboat to
stem the rapids Of upper Snake
river to reach the mining country
above adds another point TO the
urgent necessity of railroad con.
struction. The opening of the
mining district at and about I'M.

n. that it made a special effort to
add this territory to its navigable
territory. The field is a growing
one, and its neeis will increase
rather than diminish. There is ore
now on the banks ready for ship
ment and tons of supplies needed.
The camps are new, but their de
velopment shows excellent results,
and they have already urgent need
for transportation facilities. The

In connection with the open
door" policy in China, established
through the effo Is of Secretary
Hay and this administration, it Is
interesting to note what Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson said recently
in an interview: Anything now
produced in the United States will
permanently find its way into all
parts OF the Celestial Empire. Our
trade relations there in the future
are secured. The trade in cotton
goods has been very heavy in
Manchuria and other northern
provinces. Our interests generally,
our dairy, poultry and other pro
ducts from the farms of the United
States now have assurance of per
manent markets in al! the prov.
inces throughout the Chinese en-.
pire where such things are dc
mand, and this demand is growing
and will continue TO grow. The
work OF Secretary Hay i'll this re
gard supplements and compliments
the work OF our army and navy.

\ merry war seems to be going OH at
Moscow between the Star and an alleged
revivalist. The preacher took occasion
in one of his harangues to attack the
Moscow club, an organization composed
Of the business men of that place. The
Star took up the insnuation and hurled
it back into the teeth of the author. Now
the church board comes to the rescue OF
the selEstyled evangelist and puts its
foot into il by endorsing his words, Civ
ing the Star hail Columbia i'll a manner
that would give the average editor pang
of jealousy to read--quite unlike Chris
tians. However. the Star is equal to the
emergency, and predict before it is
done with this individual, "who speaks
with authority from God" that he and
his emissaries will learn they cannot
even under the cloak of their church
publicly inpugn the character of one OF
more respectable citizens of town with
out fear of interference. 1t is high time
such creatures were called to account
| for the careless manner i'll which they
sometimes speak of a citizen or a numbe,
of them. Perhaps they may call them
selves Christians; conscientious and fair
minded people do not. They are indeed
a sad commentary upon the good nam,
of Christian.

One thing as the direct result of the
Tannahill case has been shown up, and
in an unenvable light too, namely, that
the previous board of county commits
siouers transacted the county business in
lax and unbusinesslke manner--a
method that is deplored and condemned
by the taxpayers of the county gener-
ally. To me it seems an exhibition of
consummate gall for an ex county com
missioner to go on the witness stand and
acknowledge unblushingly the loose and
unbusinesslike manner in which he and
his associates conducted the county's af-
fairs apprehend that the voters will
see TO il that from this time henceforth
the members of the previous board OF
county commissioners and their like are
not put into another public Office within

The most significant thing about the
prosecution of some of the ex- county Off
Gals for alleged crookedness while in
Office is the activity manifest among the
democrats and the schemes laid to divest
some public servant of his official habili-
ment. in the hope thereby to mislead the
people--divert their attention from facts
and law to fiction and political rot. There
may have been time when such tricks
and diabolical schemes might have been
successfully worked, but that time is past.
No honest servant of the people need fear
the wrath or schemes of such men. Sim
ply turn on the light of reason and they
and their tricks will be exposed to full
view. Go ahead With your impeaching
game, but beware of results.

VAN WICK UNDER FIRE.
Ing His Connection with
the Ice Trust.

New York, June >11.-Mayor Van
Wyck Saturday, in sworn testimony
before Justice Gaynor, of the supreme
court of Brooklyn, confessed, under
examination by lawyers in the pro-
ceedings begun under the "anti-
Tweed" provision of the charter, that
he now owns 1900 shares of the stock
of the American Ice company, known
as the ice trust, and that a large
amount of the stock was still unpaid
for. He declared he had been advised
to buy ice stock by C. w. Morse, presi-
dent of the company, and his intimate
friend John f. Carroll, deputy leader
of Tammany Hall. When Messrs.
Morse and Carroll were put on the
stand later they fatty contradicted
this statement, Saying they had never
SO advised the mayor.
1t developed from the mayors testi-
mony that he understood at the start
he was going to get in on the ground
floor" or, as the mayor expressed it,
he was to get the stock at "rock-bot-
tom prices" He bought 5000 shares
VI bHC COlupduy > SIOCh III ApIll, 1893,
$500 preferred and 1850 common,
from C. w. Morse, president of the
company, for $25o,OO0. Fol, this, he
said, he paid $4,000 in cash and the
remaining 100000 in his personal
notes. One of these notes for $50 900
was paid only Friday. The mayors
testimony also shows he subscribed
for $25o,000 of stock par value in the
copper trust in the same month he ac-
quired the ice stock, thus buying $780,
900 worth of stocks in less than three
weeks. He admitted that he had been
receiving ten per cent. dividends on
his 1920 shares of stock, although he
still owes $15o,OoO for them.
