England Fnvors Bryan's Election.
One of the bogus issues raised In the
present campaign by the Democratic
party in order to play upon the preju-
dices Of class of American voters 10
the secret alliance DOGGY. Not scin-
tilla Of evidence has ever been fur
nished upon which to base the declara-
ton, yet it has been dwelt upon with
the same persistence and demagogio
iteration as the imperialistic fiction.
AS the imperialistic DOGGY is dwelt
upon to mask the real issue, SO the
secret alliance cry is persisted in to
deceive that class of voters it is hoped
to influence through national preju-
dices. :. ~,
The fact is, England desires the cleo
ton Of Bryan. Two great English
Journals, the London Spectator and
the London Truth. have made no
scruple to declare that it is for the In
terest Of Great Britain and would be
most gratifying to her if Bryan should
be successful in the American pres1-
Dental contest. Senator Depew OF
New York recently arrived from .
visit to Europe, and upon being inter-
viewed, declared that there was mo
doubt of prevailing sentiment in
England in favor of Bryan's election.
Now, it would seem from these facts
that If the detested "secret alliance
exists, Great Britain would be quite
willing to forego all the benefits de-
rived from it in exchange :. for the
greater advantages that would accrue
from the election of Mr.. Bryan. But.
~ III v1o ~
slicitude for Bryans election is prompt
ed by selfish motive. It is none 9TH
er than s''commercialism," that thing
which Democratic leaders affect SO
much to detest.

The New Capitol.
The people Of Minnesota can take.
pardonable pride in their new capitol
building, the construction of which was
authorized by the legislature Of 1898.
It's cost will not exceed the amount APP
propriated, namely, $4,000, 900, and it is
being honestly and substantially built
to the experience Of some other states
which have suffered from. the extrava
gance and mismanagement5of political

\ Of unscrupulous contractors and the
use of shoddy material. The commits

The result Of their work will be a hand

needs Of the state government for sew
eral generations.
Railroad Land Grants. 3
Is Much has been said during the past
few years about the railroad land
grants. The legislature has at different
times granted large amounts Of its
swamp lands to aid In the construction
Of railroads, and while, in the light Of
to-day, it seems as though the same
results could have been obtained In
other ways or by smaller donations Of
land, It must be remembered that at
the time most Of these grants were
made the state was wi thout railroads

Two Robb sries.

The fruit store on the mauka cor
ner of Alakea and King streets,
owned by Chinese hui, was robbed
last night. The burglar entered the
house and without disturbing the
inmates carried two trunks from
their bedroom and abstracted about
$40 in cash.
During the night a bold burglar
entered the store of w. W. Dimond
g. Co. on King street. "Pinkerton"
KAPPA scented the work of Bare
footed Bill, who is now under arrest.
The burglar entered the store in q
manner showing that he was not
familiar with the premises. After
getting into the upper story through
the skylight, giving evidence Of hav-
ing cut his hand by streaks of blood,
he evidently went into the main
store through the "hoist" which is
used for goods. Mr.. Dimond is not
considerate enough to have his ele-
vator running at night for the use
of burglars.
In the business Office everything
was turned upside down. Small
coins had disappeared with the ex-
ception of one-cent pieces which
the burglar had scorned, knowing
that their value here has not yet
been realized. Bills were scattered
all over the place, and the drawers
emptied. 1t was thought for mo-
ment that the burglar might be a
man owing bill to the firm and
hoping to avoid payment by tearing
it up, but no names we're found on
the books which could justify any
suspicious.
The crocAery was left undisturbed
and not cocktail. l.shaker was taken,
proving that the Board of Health
men had nothing to do with the
matter.
"Where we're the police9" asked
Mr.. Dimond indignantly, and the
true and faithful answer was, SIN
the streets, of course. Do you ex.
pect them inside your store?"

COulu U6 dYOlubu,
The Court appointed by Mr.. Dole
is too tough to swallow, however,
and this morning the Chamber of
Commerce held meeting attended
by nearly all the members of the
Chamber present in the city, at
which strong language was used and
the following resolution passed by
a unanimous vote. The resolution
reads: Resolved that the Court of
Claims as at present constituted by
appointments made by President
Dole, does not meet with the ap"
proval or endorsement Of this Cham
ber of Commerce which is disap.
pointed that the commercial com.
munity OF this city should beentirely
unrepresented in that Court. The
Chamber fully recognizes the ic-
portance of the Court being presided
over by one Of experience for the
application and practice of law, but
fails to understand the reasons which
have rendered it necessary that the
whole Court should consists of
members of the legal profession"
The resolution expresses the feel
ing of the whole community. We
don't know whether Mr.. Dole is be.
coming slightly dait-he cannot
stand many chances in that line-or
whether he wants to spring a huge
joke on the community and on his
appointees. The gentlemen present
at the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce were courteous in their
remarks as to the characters of Mr..
Dole's appointees but with all re-
spect" they considered them incom.
petent to fill the important Office
granted to them.
Mr. E. Faxon Bishop made a
pointed remark in saying that the
members of the Court were com.
posed OF lawyers, because they were
appointed by lawyer. Mr.. Bishop
may be correct, but we think the
appointments were made because
Mr.. Dole knows that the Court has
no standing whatever, and is with
out powers to grant damages and
altogether unconstitutional.
Mr.. j. Alfred Magoon, the presi,
dedt of the Court is very nice
man. He has large Chinese Glen
tel in his business and is personally
interested in claims" His stand
ing in our Courts as practitioner
is not touching the top knot exactly,
although he is considered a very
honest attorney, lacking however
legal training and experience-ex-
cept in the Christley case.

man. He is young, fault that will
be remedied by years to come, and
he has undoubtedly on the tennis
grounds at his University received

Media next month for the alleged MUIR
der of George b. Eyre, were here yes

clients.
The object Of their visit was to OBJ

ter OF Mary Cowan, who declares that
Jim" Pierce confessed to her that he
murdered Eyre, then sunk his boat in
Raccoon creek on the New Jersey shore
OF the Delaware river, below Chester.
Mary Cowan, II will be remembered,
was in the county jail here for sew

for disorderly conduct, and while here
she talked frequently Of the Eyre
murder. Counsel for the Pierce boys
talked with the women who occupied
the prison cell with Mary, and il is
said obtained information which will
go far toward acquitting the young
men of the horrible crime they are ac-
cused OF. Cell-mates OF Mary gave her
bad character, and several OF them
volunteered to go to Media after their
release to give testimony to that ef-

Several officials of the Jail who have
also held conversations with Mary

CHANGE In TINE LIMIT
speeInl 10 the Evenlng Journal.

Smyrna, May 26.-Many Of the older
Methodists Of Smyrna are bitterly op-
posed to the change made in the disci-
pline Of the church by the General Con-
fernce in Chicago, thus removing the
time limit OF pastors. They point out
that with the new state law governing
the election Of trustees which passed at
the last session OF the Legislature, that
il a pastor so desired. he could by ap-
pointing men favorable to him, remain
in one place for many years, unless a
majority of the members Of the church
were to leave the congregation. There
is as much dissatisfaction. said a prom
inent Methodist last night, with the
action of the General Conference as
there exists over the obnoxious state
law governing the election Of trustees
Other Methodists here regard the re-
moving OF the time limit with great
deal of favor. Smyrna is one of the
best-paying churches In the Whining
ton Conference, and the young element
Of the church say that with the good
salary paid here. able ministers can al
ways be obtained. They say that the
present pastor OF Asbury Church, The
Rev. Charles A. Hill. viii not leave a.
the end OF his fifth year.
