Washington, March 26..-Gov. Steun-
enbeIg's cross examination continued
today in the Couer D'Alene investiga-
tion before the Houss committee on
military affairs. Representative Sulzer
of New York directed the cross exami-
nation, inguiring how the governor
justified the continuance of martial law.
The witness said there had been a
continuous state OF rebellion in the
Couer d Alene district, and while it
did not take on the form OF armed re-
sistance, there was at all times opposi-
tion to the policy of the State authori.
ties, an effort to thwart them, and to
bring renewal Of the old condition OF
affairs.
When asked IL he had conferred with
the Bunker Hill mine officials and
others with view to breaking up the
labor organizations, the governor said
he had not He added that in his iude-
ment the labor organizations in Sho-
shone county existed only in name, their
real policy being dominated by crimi-
nails. - When asked to specify the So
called criminals the governor said he
did not care TO give names
Gov. Steunenbsre was asked why he
did not resort to the posse comitaus,
calling on citizens to aid the sheriff in
maintaining order. He said he did not
believe the ordinary civil procedure was
sufficient to deal with the situation.
He was confronted with a crisis, be
said, and he acted to the best of his
ability and judgment to meet the crisis,
although it was possible, he answered
MIR. Sulzer, that he might have erred.

Democratic Hopes in Delaware.

The Morning News declares that
writers for Democratic newspapers in
this State cannot hide their evident
delight at what they consider the pros
poet of general Democratic victory
here next November. They fairly
chuckle when they tell themselves that
the Republicans are to name two tickets
and thus sacrifice every opportunity to
put the State In the hands Of Republi-
cans. F" And it argues that the exhibi-
tion Of Joy is but natural under the
circumstances, as the Democratic
party is not harmonious itself,' but
when 1t comes to filling the Offices at
the approaching election, "they will be
found to stand as unit
This is altogether probable, and If
the latter prediction is verified. the re-
suit Of the election will be determined
in advance, whether the Republican
factions come together, or insist upon
having two tickets in the field. When
the Democrats of Delaware 'stand as a
unit the State is surely Democratic,
and that they will he found SO standing
throughout the approaching campaign
is not at all improbable. This, we
opine, is the cause of their "evident
delight" and not solely the prospects
OF continued Republican division. The
Democratic party in its old-time con-
dition of unity would have ample oc-
casion for delight and confidence,
whether a united or divided Republican
party might oppose it at the polls.
And the matter is largely in the
hands Of the Democrats themselves.
With wise leadership and good nomina-
tions they will, in truth, stand as a
unit next November" and in that
event Democratic victory will be as
sured.

The Election of church Tru.tees.


The Wilmington M. E. Conference,
Monday afternoon, by decisive vote
and after thorough discussion of the
subject refused to instruct its dele
gates to the General Conference to ask
for an amendment Of the Church Dis
cipline with respect to the election of
church trustees The result will be
that an attempt will be made at the
next session of the Legislature to have
the State law on the subject amended
go as to make the desired change-the
election Of trustees by the congre-
cations.
The Church Discipline provides that
the trustees must be elected by the
fourth quarterly conferences, except In
States where the State laws provide
another plan. For years the Delaware
law upon the subject provided for the
election of trustees by the congre-
cations, but at the last session this
law was changed so as to provide for
the election of trustees in accordance
with the rules or discipline of the
various churches.
1t was afterwards claimed that this
amendment to the old law was slipped
through by interested parties for an
interested purpose. However this may
be, or however inadvisable it may have
been to touch upon the subject at all,
now that the change has been made it
cannot be denied that the law as it
stands is the only proper law for any
State to enact with respect to church
matters. 1t provides that elections shall
be conducted in the manner and form
prescribed by the church governments.
For the State to provide any other
method would be an unwise and
unwarranted interference with the
churches.
No. doubt an attempt will be made to
have the matter adjusted by the Legis-
lature at its next session, but that
body would do we'll to resolutely refuse
to even consider the subject. The
present law is the proper one. If the
methods of election prescribed by
church laws prove ineffective or OBJ
noxious, amend the church laws. 1t
is matter with which the State can
have no concern, and fight to make
it the concern of the State can not help
being one of the most miserable and
annoying character.

The good effect of the maintenance of
the gold standard in increasing the in
fiux of gold into our currency is shown
in the fact that in 1899 the per capita
of money in circulation was s2j, as
against s2l. 10 in 1896, says the Balti-
more Sun. In 1892 the per capita was
1924. "A, but larger proportion of it
was silver, whereas the recent gain has
been chiefly in gold. In 1892 the popu-
lation was but 65, 403, 1000. whereas in
1899 the per capita circulation is calcu-
lated on a population of &c, oil, 900, from
which it follows that the amount of
money is absolutely very much larger
than it was. The amount Of money in
the country, inside the treasury as well
as outside, in 1899 was $3e. l2 per capita
The debt was SIS. 20 per capita, as
against S13. Al when Cleveland was
President. The pension gratuity was
l.s3 per capita, as against 50. 81 in 1893,
and 65 cents in 1868. The market ratio
of silver to gold was ,34.36 to l. The
year before it was 1903 to l. That
meant that 30 ounces of silver in the
open market were worth as much as
one ounce of gold, but MI. Bryan
wanted l6 ounces Of silver to be treated
as worth l ounce of gold. In 1898 the
intrinsic value of the silver dollar was
but 45.6 cents.

Gen. Otis, it is said, is threatened
with complete physical prostration from
his long campaign in the Philippines,
and has been ordered by his surgeon to
return home, in order to avoid col.
lapse.
Much has been said in condemnation
Of Gen. Otis methods, and certainly
it cannot be claimed that they have
been attended with any degree CT suc-
cess. That he has been incompetent is
manifest, but, in pity Of his sufferings,
it is advanced that his campaign has
been directed entirely from Washing
ton, and that he merely cariie out, or
attempted to, the orders sent to him
from the War Department. The ad
ministration, therefore, must bear with
Gen. Otis the blame for his failure.
One thing can be said in favor of
Otis, and that is that he was not in
favor of the war, and at first attempted
to conduct operations so as to avoid
hostilities. He has already told how
he attempted to prevent the publication
of President MoKinley's famous
benevolent assimilation proolama-
ton, which so melted the wrath of the
Filipinos, but it was printed in another
place before he could get his rencil at
work upon it.
When Dewey went into Manila Bay
he cut the cable, and therefore avoided
all meddling from Washington. Per-
haps Otis could have done much better
had be been left alone. But he failed,
and will suffer accordingly. although
the administration is doubtless more
culpable than he. At any rate, his
physical sufferings will attract SYM
pathy.
