Use OF Timber Un Public Min
eral LANDS.

Department of the Interior,

ton, D. c., January IS, 1900
BY virtue of the power vested IN
the Secretary of the Interior by

preponderance OF evidence that
the land frOm which the timber is
taken is mineral" within the

IneSe papers 90 hol account lOl
the fact that permits are daily
withdrawn from men who were
not confirmed dynamlters a few
months ago. 1t is a fact that the
political agents Of the adminlstra7
ton hold in their hands the desti-
ny of every laboring man in Ida
no. The papers seem TO grant to
these agents only pure motives
There is, however, no safeguard
other than the honor of these
agents for any laborer in Idaho.
The authority 10 refuse a man the
right to work is only exercised in
the Occur d'Alene district, but
what power that Steunenberg is
obliged to respect confines this
authority to one district more
than another in the same State?
What tribunal says that the men
who are refused permits are dyna-
miters? What process of trial has
convicted hundreds of men of be-
ing dynamiters after they are once
judged to be good citizens, and
justified the revocation of their
permits to earn living in Idaho?
If Steunenberg is worthy of the
trust he assumes-of holding in
his hands the destiny of thousands
of men without trial-he is the
most conspicuous figure in contem-
porary government. All people,
regardless of party, should bow to
him. If the precedent he has es-
tablished is principle of modern
constitutional government, Steun-
enberg will stand as the great
man in the galaxy of American
heroes. If the right of an execu-
tive to condemn a working man
to idleness without process of trial
is not to be recognized in the flu
ture as a principle of civil govern
ment, Steunenberg should be con-
demned at home by all men who
resent inroads upon personal lib
erty.
Steunenberg's permit system is
an innovation. Its institution and
maintenance was and is a very
radical executive assumption of
power. 1t is therefore logical to
contend that the author is a hero
or tyrant. If Idaho has given
to the world a hero who has in
vented a principle Of progressive
government all honor is due him.
In that event he should be given
the office he asks without opposi-
ton. He should be made Senator
by universal reclamation.
But, if that permit system is a
dangerous innovation he is an en-
envy of liberty. If it is correct
principle that a laborer even
should not be condemned without
a form Of trial the Occur d'Alene
innovation should be universally
condemned. If Steunenberg's
permit system is not to be con-
demned, then it must be applauded
IT its institution was not the act oil
a tyrant it was the boldest act of a
patriot ever recorded. In other
words, Steunenberg is very right
or he is very wrong. IfRepubli-
can papers can even condone the
permit system they should reward
him for his original scheme of gov
eminent. If the permit system is
new and good principle of con-
stitutional liberty, Steunenbere
should be made dictator, absolute
for the State of Idaho. There
would be no use of legislatures
judges or jurors, just few exec.
utive officers to promulgate excu
tive orders. If the permit system
is not an eternal new principle O
liberty it should be just as univer

THE SOLUTION NOT YET.
Richmond Times (Dem.)

Richmond Times (Dem)l
There is a great deal of idle talk just
now as to the policy which this country
shall pursue towards tie Philippines, and
there is a demand from certain quarters
that the Democratic party, in its national
platform soon to be promulgated, shall
make an emphatic and well-defned de-
liverance on that subject. The Demo
cratic leaders will do we'll to go slow in
this matter and to be very careful how
they commit the party to future action.
The Philippine problem cannot be solved
in day, and it is impossible that any
men or any body of men can arrive at any
proper solution of the problem at this
time. 1t is all well enough to say in gilt
tering generalites that the Filipinos
should have government of their own
and that we should apply the American
principle in those islands. 1t is all well
enough to protest against the needless
slaughter of the brave followers of Agui-
naldo," but the simple fact is we have an
instruction on our hands and that must
be put down before we can do anything
else, and as to applying the American
principle we cannot possibly know until
the experiment shall have been tried
whether or not that principle can be APP
Piled in the Philippines.
Again-We do not know what moment
there may be a conflict between Russia
and Japan; we do not know what moment
there may be conflict between Russia
and Great Britain, growing out of the
Chinese question; we do not know but
that Russia will attempt to get foothold
in the Philippines. 1t is at least probable
that if we should withdraw from the Phil
ippines, Russia or some other European
power would attempt to 60 in and take
possession. 1t may be necessary to our
own interests and to the welfare of the
Filipinos that we maintain our status quo
indefinitely. We are not where we were
before the war with Spain was waged and
before the Philippine Islands fell into our
hands. However, innocently, we have in
q measure become involved in European
diplomacy, so-called, and there is no
knowing when or how We may honorably
and safely withdraw.
The Times was opposed to the war with
Spain, and so were thousands and thous-
ands of others in this country, but the
war came and as a result there are obliga.
tons which the nation must respect. We
do not wish to be understood as making
evil prophecies; we would not play the
role of alarmist; but we say that serious
in connection with this
Philippine question may arise, and that it
is impossible at this time for any party
to evolve solution of the problem. All
that we can do is to cross the bridges as
we come to them, one by one.

MINISTER WI TALKS.
The "Boxer" Disturbance In China New
to Him.

Washington Star.
The attention of Minister WI was
called by a Star reporter this morning
to editorial differences that the "boxer"
rioting in China may foreshadow the dis
memberment of China.
"There can be nothing in that" MIR.
WI replied. 81 do not want to discuss
the question of the relations between
China and the rest of the powers. This
boxer disturbance is new thing to me.
l have heard nothing from my govern
ment on the subject, and | cannot judge
its proportions from newspaper dis
patches. From not knowing China, the
writer's Of the dispatches may exaggerate
the movement. 1t seems to me to be
local disturbance, which does not involve
any broad international question"
"Do you think the development Of
Chinese trade-the open.door policy-is
likely to be effected by the disturbances"
was asked
"No, no; l do not believe any broad
question is involved. What is the use of
trying to interpret and explain what we
do not yet know anything about? There
is probably an exaggerated idea Of what
the disturbance is. l know nothing of
what the boxers are"
"What might the term signify in
Gilman" wac asked.
Il presume" the minister replied,
that the name comes from athletics;
men who box are athletes. | see by the
Chinese papers that the organization is
called 'Yee Ho Chuan,' which signifies
righteousness, harmony and fists. This
probably means what you would call
being in training as athletes do, to devel-
OF their strength in the interest Of har-
mony and Righteousness. 1t is new Or
der to me-"

ONE of the best indications of the pros
perity or depression of the business inter
ests of the United States is the condition
of the railroads. The volume of passenger
and freight traffic always corresponds with
general business conditions. In 1898
the passenger and freight earnings were 80
much heavier than in 1895 that they were
truly significant. The passenger earnings
in 1898 were $4,000 per mile more than in
1896, and the freight earnings were S643
more per mile. During 1899 there was a
still better showing, the gain in passenger
earnings being $1S1 per mile over 1896
and the freight earnings 1901 per mile over
1895. During Mr.. Cleveland's second adj
ministration more than 100, 900 men we're
discharged by the railroads of the country.
In 1898, under McKinley's administration,
SO, 524 men were re-employed, and in 1899
we find that 100, 900 more men found EN-.
ployment. The total additional amount Of
wages circulated in the United States
through this one source amounted to more
than 500, 100000.

Blackburn's WarbIlngs.
Louisville "Post" (Ind.)

Mr.. Blackburn's recent appeal to the
followers of Mr.. Goebel to repeal the cleo.
ton law on which Mr.. Goebel staked bis
political fortunes, and which last October
Mr. Blackburn was defending 80 vigor-
ously-Mr. Blsckburn's change of princi.
Piles under fire, we SAYS well illustrated
by story Mr. John Fox tells in his arti-
Gle in the June "Scribner," entitled,
"Down the Kentucky on a Raft" The
story was told by "0ld Ben," who had
been ferryman in the mountains.
"Thar was sloeh of ice runnin' in the
river" he said, San Teller came a.lopin'
down the road one day, an hollered an
axed me to take him across. | knowed
from his voice that he was a.drinkin', an
holered back an axed him if he was
drunk.
"Yes, I'm drunk"
"How drunk?' l says.
"Drunk as HE'LL he says, 'but l can
ride that boat"
"Well, there was a awful slosh O. ice a.
runnin, but | let him on, an we hadn't
got MORN ten feet from the bank when
that teller fell off in that slosh o. Ice. Well,
l ketched him by one foot an drug him
an l drug him, an drug his face about
twenty feet in the mud, an do you know,

The indications are that Mr.. Blackburn
will come mighty nigh a.drowning before
bis political sponsors can change ends on
him.

A Popular Vote for Senators.
Philadelphia Press.l

Senator Hoar has reported adversely
the constitutional amendment for the cleo.
ton of Senators by popular vote, which
would weaken the machine and plutocracy
in every State, and has reported favorably
a bill for the election of Senators in State
Legislatures by plurality-instead of, as
now, by a majority vote-which would
strengthen the hands Of every brutal bid
der for Senate seat. Quay, Clark and
Addicks would all have reached the Senate
under Senator Hoar's bill for plurality
elections to the Senate. Not one of them
nor any one of several bosses now in the
Senate, could have been chosen at popu-
lar election.
Popular elections to the Senate will not
now be adopted. The Senate will long re-
sist them. But the Senate will be forced
to yield in the end, because the demand
for popular elections to the Senate is part
of wider movement and broader de-
mand for the overthrow of bosses and the
defeat of political machines. Both these
profiT from elections to the Senate by
the State Legislatures. Both would lose
power under popular elections to the SEN
ate.
A Boss can manipulate Legislature
He cannot manipulate voters. Senator
Hoar is too old to learn this. Younger
men know it already. The country, State
Legislatures, the press and voters demand
the change. What the country wants, in
the end, the country gets.

1t is strange that respectable citizens
and reputable newspapers will claim the
result of the election on the oath of May
as an honest and glorious victory for De-
mocracy. 1t was based upon a narrow,
partisan, unfair Act of the General Assem-

judgment on the masses of the people and
by dishonest election methods in the black

bling the common people Of the sacred

DEMOCRACY AND THE TRUSTS.

The Democratic party is always shifting
lite position and trying to find some new
issue to give it standing with people, hop
ing to be restored to power. But the
Democrats are so shallow in their convic-
tons, SO time-serving and self.seeking in
every policy they advocate that they are
constantly committing the most inconsis-
tent acts. Lately the leaders of the party
have been trying to so shape matters as to
make trusts one of the leading issues Of the
coming Presidential campaign. So rabid
have been the denunciations of trusts by
the leaders and Democratic press that one
would fain Relieve Democracy was actually
growing sincere. 1t has been claimed by
Mr.. Bryan and most of the prominent
men of bis party that there should be
Federal legislation to regulate and control
trusts. A short time ago a joint resolu-
ton was introduced in the House,
which was a proposed amendment to the
Constitution, empowering Congress to reg
ulate, control and dissolve trusts. The
Joint resolution went to the House of Rep
resentatives for action, and on last Friday,
after spirited debate, the resolution was
defeated. Such measure requires q two
thirds vote. The vote was 154 for the res
olution and 131 against, 98 votes short of
the requisite of two.thirds. Of the l54
votes for the resolution 149 were Republic
cans and 5 were Democrats. Of the l3l
who voted against it 1919 were Democrats
and Populists and we're Republicans.
Here was an opportunity afforded for
giving to Congress the authority It does
not now possess to properly 'sglslate
against trusts. How has the oppo' unity
been met by the Democratic Congress
men? In the usual way, by crawhshlng,
when the Republicans undertook to ac-
complish what the Democracy had been
demanding.
Such has been the conduct of the De-
mocracy all the while on the trust ques-
ton. When they had control of both
branches of Congress they did nothing in
the way of legislation against trusts. All
the legislation that has been enacted
against trusts has come from the Repub-
lcans and has been INSTRUCTED and voted
against by the Democrats.
With such a record how can the Bry-
antics have the cheek to rush over the
country denouncing trusts and holding
the Republicans responsible for their con-
tinuance?
Mr.. Littlefeld, of Maine, who closed
the debate for the resolution, ended his
remarks with these words: awe are
ready to go to the polls in November and
submit to their candid common-sense
Judgment whether the Democratic party,
that has proved itself incompetent to deal
with this question, shall be trusted, or
the Republican party"

There is wisdom in the policy Of the Re-
publican National Committee in determin-
ing to give especial attention to the condi'
tions in the West in its campaign litera-
ture. Business in the West has been
memorably active in the past two or three
years. Prices for agricultural products
have been higher in this time than for
decade past. The mineral production Of
the principal States Of the Mississippi Val
ley and the Pacific Slope has been increas.
ing rapidly in recent times. The commit.
tee is going to give some attent' N to the
lead and zinc fields of Missouri. This is
sensible. Missouri has been developing
wonderfully in the past two or three years,
and it will be well to let the country know
this. The conditions in the West are
bound to help the Republican party great
ly in the campaign of 1900.
