THE CARBON

In the interest of fair play for every
body Judgment should be suspended
relative to the contest from Carbon
county, mention of which appears in
the news columns of The Gazette of
this issue. While feeling naturally
enters into such contests, the interests
of neither side are best subserved by
the expression of strong opinion until
the real facts at issue are established
by the introduction Of testimony. 1t
is but just to all parties to the contest
to assume that their actions are
by honest motives and to
impugn those motives at this time
be to pre-judge matters and pos
do a wrong. No doubt every fact
bearing on the case win be

U RECOMMENDED.

The report of the commission ap-
pointed to examine the various routes
suggested for the isthmian canal was
made yesterday. AS was predicted by
the advocates of that route, the COM
mission is unanimous in the recon-
mendation of what is known as the
Nicaragua route. AS the report is
based upon surveys and inspection OF
all known feasible lines that such a
canal might follow, it must be taken
as an actual fact that the Nicarauguan
route is the most practical one, and
as the commission was appointed for
no othere purpose than to secure infor-
nation of a reliable and authoritative
nature for the guidance OF congress,
the report will probably be adopted.
Already a host of lobbyists has made
it's appearance at Washington in the
interest of various routes and canal
schemes, consequently opposition to
the recommendations of the committee
may be looked for when the report is
submitted for final action. The
country, however, will watch closely
all canal legislation and at the first
signs or suspicion of jobbery such a
protest will arise from all sources and
sections that successful contamination
of any job, unless artfully concealed,
will be impossible. Many who favor
immediate construction of the canal
have been awaiting completion Of the
commissions labors and it's report be-
fore taking position as to the route
that should be selected, preferring to
be guided by the conclusions of the
commission rather than by their own
ideas based upon imperfect knowledge
of the relative merits Of the different
routes.

A remarkable incident i'll connection
with the proposals submitted for con-
struction of the new county bridge is
the comparatively small difference in
the bids themselves. Study of the
bids leads to one OF two conclusions:
Either the business Of bridge building
has by reason of energetic competition
been reduced to the plane where nigh
ty close figuring is necessary, or the
different concerns engaged in it all
look to IL common heal for inspira-
ton in the matter of bidding. The
latter conclusion naturally impels
thought in the direction of the bridge
building trust, of which SO much was
heard some time ago. We

Mr.. O'Brien and the other Irish
members of parliament by refusing to
occupy their seats during the session
now i'll progress are succeeding in at
tracing attention to themselves, but
beyond this they need not expect to
accomplish much The gentleman re-
sponsible for the absence of Ireland's
representation in the lawmaking body
Of the empire says that "Ireland has a
sovereign contempt for English ar
rangement and English opinion and
that Ireland occupies the position of
a separate and hostile country, which
will either have to be conciliated or
conquered over again" His saying SO
does not make it so, even though all
will admit the hostility of Ireland to
England. His scheme also is not
original, having been suggested years
ago, but overruled by Parnell, who
had obstruction tactics of his own he
considered better. It is possible that
the plan may prove successful at least
partially, if not wholly in bringing
the Irish dream Of independence near
er realization than it seems to be, but
it is doubtful By his reference to a
fighting fund, " made in the mani
festo he issued, MI. O'Brien let's in a
whole lot of light as to the real motive
that prompts him and the object he
ultimately hopes to accomplish. The
many in this country who years ago
were liberal contributors to fighting
funds" will probably be slow in re-
spending to this latest appeal for
money to be expended by men I'M
known to them and in a manner
known only to those making the ex-
penditures. Plenty of suspicion has
attached to the way the money raised
in the past has been expended and the
fact that men VIGOROUSLY poor have
been enabled to live in ease and luxury
while the cause of Irish liberty Ian
guished and the hoped for relief from
English oppression remained as far
distant as aver has not been forgotten.
| Suspicion also exists in some quarters
that those demanding it the most and
loudest are not so anxious for an indie
pendent Ireland as they profess, for
with that a reality their occupation
| would be gone.

EXCHANGE OF AMENITIES.
English Statesmen Indulge in Parlia-
mentary ~Pleasantries.

London, Dec. 6-Arthur j. Balfour,
first lord Of the treasury, referring to
Campbell annermans' suave regrets
at the absence of George Goschen and
Sir Matthew White Ridley from the
front bench Of the ministery, said
Sir Henry was SO generous he would
even regret Chamberlain should he be
removed to another sphere.
When Sir Henry replied: "We draw
the line some WHERE botll sides of
the house roared with laughter.
Chamberlain at N time interrupt
ing the speaker proceeded to deny that
he said that any seat lost to the gov
eminent during the recent election
was one sold to the Beers. 1t was
nearly II O'Clock before he rose to re-
ply to the avalanche hurled against
him. ell made a remarkable speech.
He denied being a traitor. He denied
also that he had decried any charges
against his own personal integrity.
Irritated beyond control by the fire.
quent interruptions and disturbances
he called one of the liberals amid ex-
element "a cad" The speaker called
him to order and Chamberlain with
drew the epithet, apologizing for it's
use. After denouncing publication of
the Ellis correspondence he was cut
off by a motion of adjournment.
Today the opposition will move an
amendment to the address, stating the
grounds for an early declaration of.
the governments policy.

the eleventh census. Those states
whose representation is decreased in
the bill may be relied upon to offer
strong resistance to its passage. They
will not be alone in their opposition,
for they will have the assistance Of
representatives from other states, who
are opposed to any measure that seeks
to reduce the representation Of any
state, Particularly will this be the
case of the southern states that suffer
most in the bill as introduced. The
foot that the administration is known
to be opposed to any legislation having
for it's object the reductionof southern
representation to a basis in conformity
with the vote cast, will lend addition
al interest to the measure and give its
opponents strength that otherwise they
probably would not have. It is safe
to assume that a majority Of those OPP
posed to the bill will want to be
heard, which in turn will cause tor
rents OF eloquence from the other side
that will flood the house with oratory
for days.
Then there is the isthmian canal
bill. No matter in what form it is
introduced, it will be provocative of
an unusual amount of talk and proba-
bly, unnumbered amendments. The
effort to establish some form Of a gov
eminent for the Philippines will be
made, and past experience shows that
if there ever was anything presented
in congress that was productive Of
cheap talk" it has been in connection
with that subject Othere important
measures that will form the subject Of
extended dehnkes are+the bill for re-
ducing the war revenue tax and the
shipping subsidy bill.
Besides the measures enumerated
above, the usual appropriation bills
and other routine business will en-
gross attention and prove time con
sumers. Thus it will be seen that the
manifest intention of both houses not
to dawdle is prompted by good judg-
ment and full realization of the i'm
mense amount Of work that must be
disposed of in the limited time avail

MESSAGE.

The message submitted to congress
last Monday by President Mckinley is
an able document and will hold rank
with some of the famous messages OF
the past. While lacking the stilted
phrases of the messages of ONE Of the
other presidents, it is a clear and
mastery exposition Of matters and
conditions rs they exist i'll connection
with many subjects upon which con-
gress will be called to act. In simple
language it recites the events of ma
,ional import that have occurred dur
ing the time that has interviewed since
the presidents last communication to
congress and concisely sets forth the
matters important for congress to
know. The recommendations it con-
tains are all along the line Of sensible
conservatism and inspired by lofty re-
gard for the nations welfare and hap
piness. That those recommendations
are not more numerous is to the presi-
dents credit. He appreciates the
patriotism and ability of the two
houses and is willing to leave to them
solution of the problems confronting
the nation, satisfied that no matter
what action may be taken %conoering
them, it will be the result of careful
thought and inspired by motives ex-
allied and patriotic.

HISTORY OF COMPROMISE
Claim Made That Japan Originated
Amendments to Joint Note 4
Offered by Conger.

London, Dec. 6-Dr. Morrison wir-
ing the Times from Pekin, December
5, confirms the reported acceptance of
Conger's amendments to the joint note
and says:
The names Of the guilty are not
specified, the stipulation only provid-
ing that those princes and officials
must be punished who are recognized
as guilty by the Chinese government
with the addition Of others to be here
after designated by the ministers.
The practical result of this compro-
mise is that the form of punishment is
left for the determination CT the en-
press dowager, who is the chief Gull
prit.
The history of the compromise is
instructive. The proposal came
originally from Japan. It was COM
municated to Germany and then to
Washington. Although the amend.
ments were presented by Conger, all
the credit for securing the softened
terms is given by the Chinese, not to
Great Britain or America, but to
Russia, who continues to handle the
Chinese with consummate dexterity.
Influential Chinese say, says the
Shanghai correspondent of the Times,
that the court will leave Sian Flu
shortly, although it's destination is not
known here.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times commenting upon the attempts
to represent the attitude of America
as divergent from that of the other
powers i'll China says he learns that
formal assent of the United States to
the powers was intimated by Ambas-
sador White to the foreign Office to-
day.

BRUTE SAFELY G

Maysville, KY, Dec. 6-Wm. Glib
son, the man who is charged with
fiendishly torturing to death with a
red hot iron his helpless two year old
step daughter at Catlettsburg, KY,
two weeks ago, is safely in Jail here.
In an interview tonight he denied
his guilt. At different times during
the interview he laughed Historically.
When asked why he fed he replied:
"Well, you see, this thing was hol-
Tered about and made so much over
that people got excited and You know
how people are when they get ex-
cited"
He said he slept IN ravines, under
bridges and in the %underbrush for two
weeks. Everything is quiet and thers
are no indications of mob violence.

brought out at the proper time and
that in it's final disposition a desire to
do what is right, regardless of party
p%rejudices or political advantages,
will govern those to Whose Judgment
the matter is submitted. Until proved
otherwise, the benefit Of presumptive
opinion and belief must be given to
the local authorities who issued GER
~tificates to Messrs. Meyer and Gregory.
They are to be credited with having
acted within the law as they under
stood it and with having done what
they considered the right and their
of duty required Of them.

STARTS IN WELL.

The opening day of the closing ses-
sion of the Fifty5sixth congress gave
evidence of a desire on the part of both
houses to waste no time in disposing
of the many matters that will require
attention. The members realize the
necessity Of making all possible speed,
as the time in which to act on the
mass of unfinished and new business
that will occupy the attention of con-
gress is short. Some of the measures
that will be considered are in the ma
ture of imperative legislation and may
be relied upon to be the source of
lengthy and probably heated debate.
One of these is the army re-organiza-
tion bill. Being a republican measure,
Notwithstanding the absolut necessity
of the enactment of some kind of a
law in that direction, opposition from
the democratic side may be expected.
In fact notice has already been served
by a caucus of democratic represent
atives that they will oppose legislation
along the lines suggested by the ma
jority of the house military bill.
Already the foundation for protract-
ID debate has been laid by the intro
of the Crumpacker bill for an
,pportionment of representatives under |

creased guarantees of security to for
eign rights and immunities, and, most
important of all, by the opening Of
China to the equal m Of all
the world, both the interests Of China
and the allies will be best subserved.
While given to understand that they
must in future respect as sacred the
lives and property of foreigners So
journing among them and that those
guilty of wrongs against foreigners
will be punished, the Chinese need
not be wounded in their national pride
or unnecessarily Inundated as a

VICTORY FOR AMERICA.

Again has American diplomacy
gained a signal victory and the United
States as a world power has grown
greater. By the acceptance of the
American idea at Pekin the ministers
of the other foreign powers acknowl-
edged the justice and wisdom of the
position assumed by this government
at the outset of the negotiations which
have been allowed to- drag over so
many weeks and which so often threat
ened to fail of contamination. Know
ing the righteousness Of the position it
had taken, this government main
tanned it and all it's negotiations were
in the one direction of securing justice
for China as we'll as for the nations
having grievances against it. The
government recognized the utter fulfil
ity of insistance on the terms demand
ed by the other powers because it
knew them to be unreasonable and of
a nature that China in its present po-
sition could not meet. 1t also knew
that unless terms of the character it
suggested could be agreed upon the par
tition of the empire was inevitable and
in that event the policy of an open
door in the orient, for the maintenance
Of which all the powers are now
pledged, would be abandoned and mar
kets now open to us would be closed
and American goods excluded or at
best admitted under conditions so
hampered and circumscribed as to
amount to practical inhibition.
Aside from the selfish and sordid
motives that may have prompted it to
take the position it did, the admins
tration was also movet by higher o II
s%iderations. It desired to maintain
the peace of the world and spare
China the humiliation of being parcel
ed out among alien nations and lose
it's entity Is a people. Having no
designs upon any portion of China's
territory and being free of suspicion
in that direction, it was in a position
to better plead for the nation that
vas in imminent danger of falling a
prey, to those powers which are con-
tinually seeking territorial aggrandize-
ment and many of which were only
tions an excuse to slice the Celestial
empire into bits and apportion the bits
among themselves, the size of the
piece each claimed to be governed by
it's strength and ability to take and
hold it. China also Enew this and
while regarding the allies as a COM
mon foe, still looked to the United
States as the one power arrayed
against it from whichit might expect
the greatest leniency and Justice. In
this expectation the Chinese have not
met with disappoint and it is to the
kindly intent and honorable purpose
of the United States that they are in
debted for the happy solution of a
most vexatious problem in which they
are concerned that is 10 promised.
BY arriving at a settlement as sug-
sested by President Mckinley in his
message tQscongress in which he says:

pensati0nm may be made in part by in
