DIPLOMATIC SECRETS.
How They Are Guarded in Transmits
sion Between Officials.
From rit-Bits.


1t says much for the integrity of gov
eminent officials that all knowledge of our
recent important treaty with Japan was
successfully withheld from foreign nations
until the compact had been actually sealed,
but the great care exercised in guarding a
diplomatic secret renders a premature an
nouncement very rare indeed. No govern
ment secret when first born is ever committed
to paper, except on the rare occasions when
minutes of a cabinet meeting are taken and
forwarded to the sovereign. AS rule, our
ministers meet and transact business with
out any one being the wiser, for no official
of any kind is allowed to be present.
Once the government has decided upon an
important piece of foreign policy, it has to
be transmitted to our representative
abroad. and for the first time the secret is
put in writing in the form of unintelligible
cipher, the key to which Is already in the
hands of our ambassador The men who
draw up these intricate cipher codes are
relia BILE officials specially employed by the
government, and they often obtain from
$500 to eco for a single code. The dispatch
having been prepared, II is given into the
care of a kings messenger. who wears at
tached to his person a bag fitted with Sc
cret lock To this lock there are only two
Keystone in the possession of the foreign
office and the other retained by our am
bassador. who must unlock the bag him
self or instruct his secretary to do so upon
the messengers arrival.
The journey between this country and
abroad is a risky one. because the messen-
ger is beset with spies, and, although he
travels incognito and well armed, there is
always the chance of his being set upon
and robbed. To avoid this, when inn
portant> dispatch is being carried. he is
Swallowed by two detectives throughout the
journey, so that they can instantly come to
his assistance if necessary. When travelling
by rail he engages a special compartment,
and If called upon to do SO he will have
fn hefOrp o
patch In return he receives a salary Of
fi00 year, in addition to 81 a day when
travelling and all expenses found. but be-
fore being employed he has to be nominated
by official filling an important position
under government who will hold himself
responsible for his being reliable messen-
ger and not foreign agent. Sometimes, to
avoid danger, the courier carries with him
the special sanction of international law,
whereby every country through which he
passes becomes responsible for his safety.

MEAT AND THE MAN.
Trusts That Raise Food Prices Riding
to a Fall.
From Harper's Weekly.


Meat is much discussed. There is agree
ment that its price is high. but less concur
renee of opinion as to the reason. There
was corn shortage last year and a gem
eral scarcity of fodder. That, of course,
tends to make meat dear But there is
combination of the great dealers who con-
troll the meat supplies of all the consider
able cities. and it is not clear where the
Influence of last years crops on the price
of meat leaves off and the influence of the
meat combine begins One statement of the
situation is to the effect that the combina-
ton of big butchers who deal in western
cattle has constrained local retail butchers
to buy exclusively of them. and that that
has hurt the market for the cattle of small
farmers and discouraged cattle raising.
that the meat barons have themselves con-
tributed to cause the dearth of cattle, to
which they attribute the rise in the prices
of meat.
The Stock Growers Association. COM
posed of the great cattle corporations OF
the west, are more or less affiliated with
the big butchers, the upshot of il all being
that the price of meat depends on more
combinations and conditions than the ordi-
nary consumer can hope TO fathom. He
must leave the investigation of the reputed
meat trust TO experts, and meanwhile adapt
himself to circumstances and prices, by
eating less meat. That he seems 10 be do
ing, and the wise people who write the
pieces in the newspapers are helping him
as much as possible by assurances that he
has long eaten more meat than he needed
and by many practical suggestions OF adj
vantageous changes in his dict. We are GO
ing to have chance to try whether We
can cut down our meat ration without be-
ing the worse for II. but IL the price of meat
is needlessly and artificially high, il is rid
ing to fall. Trusts that cheaper COM
modities to the consumer may be tolerated.
Trusts that wantonly raise the price OF
necessaries won't be endured if II is pos
sible for our lawmakers to reach them.

NOBLE OLD MBOL

Notwithstanding the persistent asser-
ton of some of the would-be Republican
firebrand throwers, that the Democrats
of Humboldt county would repudiate the
endorsement of the State Convention of
Mr.. Newlands' the county convention
unanimously adopted the following resol-
ution:
We pledge our legislative nominees to
the unqualified support of the candidacy
of Hon. Francis G.. Newlands for United
States Senator. We pledge our nominee
for State Senator to enter the anti-Re-
publican caucus of the Legislature as
sembling in January, 1905. and to vote
for the nominee of such caucus
The Journal has never for a moment
doubted the loyalty of staunch old Hum
boldt to the Democratic cause and the
action of the county convention only
confirms it's confident anticipation. The
Humboldt Democracy is too closely we'd
ded to the principles of their party to
allow disappointment in regard to one
or two State convention nominations to
swerve them from their line of duty, and
1t is gratifying to note that those who
experienced the greatest disappointment
were the leaders in bringing their polit-
fcal associates in line with the fusionists
of the State, If indeed they were ever
out of line, which we do not believe. The
nomination of Hon. M. S. Bonnifield for
State Senator and B. F. Riley, c. B.
Brown and w c. Noteware for Assem-
blymen, ensures an overwhelming Demo-
cratic majority in old Humboldt, as it
places beyond the possibility of doubt

PROSPERITY AND THE COAL STRIKE.

while the people may be more or less
amending of the constitution to permit
federal supervision of the trusts" said a
prominent Eastern Democrat recently,
1.-The question which vitality concerns
them is, What is going to be done in
regard to the coal striker Cuba is a long
way off but the winter is almost here
and we have no coal in our cellars and
there is no prospect of getting any with
out paying a small fortune for it. 1t is
already predicted that an immediate end
ing of the strike would not be followed
by reasonable prices for coal before the
first of January and if hat proves true
what is to become of the much Wanted
prosperity. The people will have to cur
tail on all expenditures in order to keep
their homes comfortable. When the
from any reason, to economize, it means
hard times, and, unless I am very much
mistaken, the hard times will be felt be-
fore the elections and with disastrous ef-
feet on Republican success. I do not
know the remedy for the present situa-
ton in Pennsylvania, but / do know
that all Republican legislation makes for
the rich and at the expense of the poor.

the country in the hands of the few and

was found hanging to a tree, near which
traces of a desperate struggle having
