No decent man will waste time or
words or ink on the report given TO the
public BY the minority Of the investiga-
ting committee in the Occur d'Alene
case. The gross discourtesy Of giving
the matter out in advance Is OF piece
with the whole performance The Dem-
ocrats who are behind It have CROPPED
in this deepest and most disgusting
POOL for political capital. At no time
have they desired facts. They sought
to influence organized labor by assert
ing that the administration had en-
ployed force against it To that end
was their championship Of arson, dyna-
hitting and murder; 10 that their boor-
ish and blackguard conduct during the
investigation: to that the falsehoods
embodied in their report, whose con-
illusions do not correspond with the
facts in a single instance. 1t is an ap-
prupriate document with which to back
up the Chicago platform. All anar-
chsts have naturally a fellow feeling.
We are OF the opinion that the work.
ingmen of the country will not particu-
larly thank Mr.. Jentz and his asso
ciates for attempting to include them
in that classification.

An Appropriation Justified.

The appropriation by congress OF S.
900. 900 in aid of the proposed interna-
tional exposition at st. Louis to cele-
brate the centennial of the Louisiana
purchase, will be approved by the coun-
try The occasion is one that may he
commemorated ffttingly by great ma
tional enterprise: especially in these
times when the policy OF the great
Democrat, jefferson, is being extended
logically against the violent opposition
OF the party that processes to honor
him. The place. the chief city that has
arisen in that historic tract, Is we'll cho-
sen. The time that has elapsed since the
last national exposition is long enough
to permit a refreshment of public inter
est. With the conditions attached, that
this money shall not become available
until twice the sum shall have been
guaranteed by the promoters OF the
plan. and that expenditures for
buildings by the government shall be
deducted from it, the appropriation Is
a proper one.
There is little criticism of liberality
In a truly national undertaking like
this. The wrath of the people has been
stirred. and most properly. against the

Possibly. now that ST. Louis has
reached the depths Of degradation, in
permitting women to be beaten, stoned
and stripped of their clothing for the
crime Of riding on street cars dur
ing a strike, the authorities OF the city
may be persuaded to do something.
There Is not and there has not been
during this entire trouble any city gov
ernrnent in existence there. AS far as
public protection and the maintenance
Of order are concerned, the police force
might as well have been dlsbanded and
all the city Offices closed. Naturally
disorder and crime have increased
daily, until they have reached the hid
eous crisis that the news dispatches de-
scribe. The city which proposes three
years hence TO exhibit to the world the
latest triumphs of civilization is in the
hands OF the mob and has placed itself
there with extreme dehberation. We
need pirate but little about the refine
ments OF government until the re-
sources Of our cities are equal to the
modest demand of protection against
murder or physical injury or dishonor.
Very few have come up to that test
when tried. At present st. Louis is not
only a disgrace to the United States,
but would be shame to the regions Of
the UPPER Congo.

Eleven Years Ago Today.

Eleven Years Ago Today.
on June 6, 1885, the business portion
OF Seattle was destroyed by fire and
nearly twelve million dollars worth of
property went up in smoke. 1t was the
most serious catastrophe that could be-
fall a city. In a community of less than
&c, 900 souls, with no large aggregation
OF capital. the loss was necessarily a
severe one. Many small fortunes were
wiped out completely. New firms just
started in business found themselves
suddenly burdened with a debt for the
Liquidation of which years OF economy
and close calculation might be requir-
cd. Business for the time was para
lyzed; for the confiagration had swept
nearly everything before 1t. and within
a ooupa ratively few hours in place Of
a bright, active. thriving city lay

stores. shops, factories. mills. docks
and railroads had been swept away,
leaving little or nothing to show what
important commercial activities had
been ARRESTED.

almost nebulous enough to satisfy Mr..
Schurz himself When and to what ex-
tent must the people Of the colonies
participate? Probably no living man
in the United States dissents from the
Tellerian proposition, IL he himself may
interpret II. It is like one OF those
creeds elastically formed to admit a
many-minded humanity. We all OF US
believe in a participation by the people
of the colonies in their own govern
rent. It is the first principle OF the
Puerto Rican act, the central feature OF
our policy in the Philippines How far
that participation shall go and when
and how those peoples shah be permit
ted to participate in the government Of
the United states itself is a question
for the future. 1t is, as lamented
sue" No country with colonial pos
sessions ever settled II by hard and
fast rule, because 1t does not admit of
such treatment. The antis are all de-
manding that the methods Of calcula-
ting an eclipse be applied to solving
the problem at what day and hour of
the future the first flying machine will
cross the Atlantic, and what will be
its rate OF speed.
Probably the most serious trouble
with Mr.. Teller Is voiced by him In his
disgust because certain speeches made
in the senate have euloeized President
Mckinley. He cannot stomach it. 1t
nauseates him. We have observed SIM
liar pains from the same cause in other
quarters The Springfield Republican
calls loudly for restoratives because
people will persist In saying that Mr..
Mckinley is an honorable. high minded
and patriotic man. II calls to mind
that Grant and Hayes and Cleve-
land and all the rest OF them encoun-
tered personal vituperation and the de-
generacy of a political era In which the
chief magistrate OF the nation can be
mentioned in the language OF personal
respect by his political enemies is to Il
another OF those dreaded portents that
| are ushering in the monarchy. We can
not combat or assuage these griefs.
Gross materialist that Mr.. Teller ds, for
| he dares to- say that the Philippine ISL
ards will be of great advantage" to
us. a sure sign of commerciaaism and
servitude TO the trusts we fear that.
with all these other woes upon him. he
