NOTES AND OPINIONS.
THE coEUR D'ALENE.
(Reading Telegram.)

NINeduiIlS leleSTdIIl.)
The latest development in the Occur
d'Alene investigation by the military
committee of the house OF representa-
oves Is that the petition for the con-
tinuance of martial law, bearing 5000
names and purportiug to represent the
people of Shoshone county, is made up
largely of forged or Fictitious names.
This petition was brought to Wash
ing by the state authorities and shown
to President Mckinley and to public
men generally as sort of Justification
of the high handed despotism which
these lawless officials have imposed on
the people of the county. The charge
that the names are fictitious or false is
supported by a number Of afidavits,
but the Republican members of the
committee whose purpose 1t has been
throughout to stitle the investiga ton,
and to garble the facts elected by IT,
voted that the aflidavits should not be
admitted in evidence. This Is n most
scandalous pcrversion of the power of
the majority. The petition itself having
been admitted in evidence. the Repub-
licans now, simply because they have
a working majority of three, declare
the proof OF it's entire falsity shall not
be admitted. 1t is most amazing thing
that even the insolence of the majority
could be carried so far.
I1OWeNeT, IL ii Oh IL Par Will the aC-
ton of the Republican members
throughout this most important inves-
tigation. They have, by their acts, &C
cepted for their party entire RESPONSE
bility for the lawleSsness and unconsti-
tutional aggressions and the high
handed despotism of Gov Steunenberg
Bartlett Sinclair and Brig. Gen. Mer-
RAM. The Democrats on the commit
tee and in Congress have wisely taken
the view that Steunenberg must be re-
pudiated. 1t is only too evident that the
majority of members of the house COM
mittee will bring in embarrassing re-
port, but the minority report prepared
by such able lawyers as Representa-
tlves Lentz and SulEer will form a
strong and telling Indictment of the
methods in vogue in Idaho. The whole
story is one of a fight on organized
labor in the interests OF a single mono
poly conducted by state officials in vio-
latlon Of their oa;ths- of office and-ap=
plauded and assisted by the national
administration both in the white house
and in the department Of war.

THE HEPBURN CANAL. BILL.


The passage by the House Il the Hep
burn bill authorizing the obstruction
of the Nicaragua Canal brings the
whole Isthmian canal probe ct up again,
after what was considered q practical
disposition of it for the Or esent session
of Congress. What lies behind this
sudden activity is somewhat obscure,
but IL 1t be a desdre to manufacture
material for use in the coming cam
paign, it is difficult to see wherein it
will be gratifled.
[ A vast majority Of all part les doubt
less favor an Isthmian canal, IL it can
be constructed at n reasonable cost and
maintained as q practicable and ser
viceab1e waterway, under American
control between the oceans. The i'm
mense value of such waterway to our
commerce in time Of pea ce. and its
great strategical Importance in time of
war. appeal to American common sense.
But if the construction OF the canal is
to be the occasion of unlimited jobbery,
reckless expenditure, and If (when COM
pleted) it, is not to be under the con-
and whose enterprise have constructed
it. then the canal would not be popu-
lar institution.
Against any or all Of these objections
the Hepburn bill Is not proof. The
appropriations clause Of the bill opens up
possible vistas that are not to be con-
templated with equanimity. in view OF
the scandals that have attended the
construction of SO many canals; and 1t
may be added that have lately ate nded
the administration of the office of Sec
rotary of War. 1t would seem that
S140. 600. 900 is u considerable slim of
money to entrust to the hands of sim
gle official who has not been above per-
hitting depredations on the revenues
of Cuba. The construction of AN inter
oceanic waterway is n heavy burden to
put upon n department that could not
meet the emergency of feeding the SOL
dicrs OF the army on wholesome food.
Upon the oil Importance matter as
to whether the canal shall be under the
control of the United States when con-
structed. the bill Is far from clear.
The Secretary of War Is tc. make pro
visions for the defense" of the canal,
but defense" Is rather general term,
and 1T is noticeable that Qualifications
for defense was Strokes from the bill.
and that an amendment to "forfifu" the
canal was Cotcd dopn. This leaves the
Secretary of War much latitude in
complying with the terms Of the bill
and docs not guarantee American control.
What the Senate will do with the bill
and what will be done with the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty. are two of the most
important points to be settled by the
remainder of the present session of
Congress.

A FACULTY IN A FIX.

From an interview with Prof. Harry
st. George Tucker in the Washington
Post. we gather that the faculty of
Washington and Lee University, Zone
of the most honored and efficient OF
Virglnia's educational insitutions,) Is in
IL predcament that all sticklers for dig
nifty and classic pose cannot but regard
as deplorable. After stating that Hon.
William L. Wilson had changed his
views as to Mr.. Bryan's chances of
election. since the former went West,
Prof Tucker had the following dialogue
with the Post reporter:
What Is the position of the Gold
Democrats in Virginia."
II can best answer that question by
giving You an illustration. In 1896, every
member of the faculty at the univer-
sity voted for Mckinley eXcept one.
This year they are all up in the air.
They do not want to vote for Mckinley
and his imperialistic notions, and they
do not want to vote for Bryan and his
financial hereses. They do not know
what to do.''
The people OF Virginia. large num-
Der Of whom are Democrats. will not
have any quarrel with the faculty OF
Washington and Lee, because the lat
ter voted for Mr.. Mckinley. They be-
lleve in political freedom and will leave
the persecution of University Profess
sors to the liberal minded population
of the Northern States and TO the
donors OF endowment funds. 1t is not
the votes OF the faculty in 1896 that
bring home wonder, modification and
chagrin to the bosoms OF Virgnians at
this moment. 1t Is the aerial position
which Prof. Tucker gives the world to
understand they occupy.
What are dignIfled University profess
sors doing "all up in the air?" With the
lineman in a death grip with a tele-
graph, pole. with the aeronaut wrlg-
Cling n pair of scarlet legs against the
blue dome. with the trembling tumbler
swinging from the top OF the circus
tent. and with the world renowned
tight-rope walker fiddling on wire.
we are all familiar. We gaze upon such
spectacles lin the air" with unconcern
and with no shade of wonderment. But
a whole University faculty, "an up in
the air." and with no support other
than a political uncertainty-for this
we were not prepared and therefore
stand dumb with sense of impending
disaster. Suppose the doubt should give
way? Suppose there should be a part
ing OF the strands Of hesitation? Let us
turn from such possibilities,
In the meantime. 1t would be interest
ing to know what the freshmen and
saphomores, irweverent and ribald ever
are doing. How arc they viewing this
