Steunenberg's administration has
been the weakest in the history of
the state. One prolonged struggle
for political power has characterized
his rule. Every branch Of the
state government has been polluted
by partisan jobbery. His APP
|pointees have had but one require
ment imposed: that they should be
Steunenbe rgers. Only a weak adj
ministration could result from this
policy. The state land board is an
example. The loss from neglect
and incapacity in this department
has been enormous. The loss oc-
casioned by neglect and incom.
potency during this administration
has been more than all the legiti-
mate expenditures Of all the state
in all its past history.

The muddy city water suggests
that we will soon be called upon
to seek some source Of supply other
than Clearwater river. When half
h dozen cities shall dump their
sewerage In Clearwater, when all
the placer fields are worked, when
q thousand stamp mills are running
on the mountain sides, this water
which is healthful now will be
laden with disease germs and min
eral poison. It would be wall to
look forward to. these conditions
and let future expenditures be in
line compatible with this sugges-
tiOn.

The man who could take the
sting out of labor would be bene-
factor Of high order. If labor
could be made play all the world
would be happy. 1t is not muscular
expenditure of strength that wears
out the body and breaks the spirit.
If the pretended high ideal Of labor
could be made a real ideal the
world would be grand stage that
would ring with music. Instead,
labor is a torment. The attribute
Of penalty for sin imbues the spirit

A few decades ago there were
many persons in Europe who
alarmed themselves and tried to
frighten the world by calculations
ofthe tremendous havoc which they
imagined could be done by China
when the 40, ooo. 900 or 10000, 900
males Of that country between 20
and As years Of age should begin
their long threatened war against
the outside ''barbarians." These
forebodings were particularly
gloomy around the time of the wars
of England and France against
China in 1890, when the Celes-
tials made hard struggle in one
or two conflicts.
At the present moment more ma
tions are In quasi or actual conflict
with China than were ever before
engaged against that country stimuli
taneously in all its forty or fifty
centuries Of history. In the con-
Aicts which are now under way at
and around Taku about half a
dozen Of the great nations are ar
rayed against the Chinese. These
include England, France, Ger
many, Russia, Japan and, appar-
emily, the United States, with Italy
and Austria aspossible participants
If the war should continue few
weeks. There is an entire absence
Of alarm in the outside world over
the situation, however. except as
conc rms the fate Of the Europeans
and Americans diplomats, mis-
sionaries and merchants who are
in China. and reports Of the mas
sacre of some of whom have been
sent out.
Nevertheless, the situation may
easily turn out to be serious for
China and the rest of the world.
1t Is undeniable that several Of the
nations would be glad to seize these
disturbances as pretext to divide
up China on the plan carried out
in Africa In the Sos, and England,
which has long resisted all such
partition, but whose hands are now,
to some extent, tied by the Boer
conflict, may be forced to acquiesce
in the arrangement. The United
States, of course. is against di-
vision, but tire United States single.
handed could not prevent it, and,
moreover, would not fight to pre-
vent it. The cost to the United
otateS OF war 70 prop up the
feeble and vicious dynasty domi-
mated by the reactionary Empress
Dowager would be out of ell pro-
portion to the benefits which would
result from the maintenance Of the
present government. Then, too.
there Is possibility Of endless
tlouble for the European nations
which would be glad to disrupt the
empire. While the chances are
hat the present disturbances in.
China will end In a few weeks, and
hat Pekin will be captured, and
'ome Of the leaders Of the murder
'us Boxers be executed, the af-
Of the head Of the dynasty
With the an,i-foreign elements con-
ititutes a menace to civilization
which gives grave aspect to the
situation.

cravings, diagrams and drawings
showing the method Of dividing lands

merely an experiment as yet but IN
case it is successful, the work is guar
auteed to be the most accurate and
complete Of any work ever issued in
this portion Of the State.
The firm comes with the highest
testimonials and press notices and as
the work is one that is badly needed
in Dickinson county we trust that the
citizens and the farmers Of the county
will give it their ablest support and
we hope the undertaking may he car
ried to a successful completion. |

emerged from season of depression. il
went to work with new vigor. Since its
organization az different pastors have been
In charge. The church was built In the
years l813'1S75 during the pastorate of
Rev. 4. Bradford and at a cost of about
S9OOO. The present incumbent, Rev, <.
j.. Deane, came here in 1890, and largely
through his untiring energy the building
has been completely remodeled and re-
paired, making 1t one Of the most conven

cost more than $4,000 over and above the

Thirty-eight have been added during the
past two years and the outlook is promis-
