neighbor that, finding the horse valuable,
he ,els forced by evants to keep it. And
vet if he did so his conduct would be no
more absurd or indefensible than the
conduct OF the administration in trying
to Law upon circumstances the RESPONSE
bility for the establishment OF colonial
policy. The president lays great stress
upon strenuousness, and is credited with
much ply steal courage. If he has the
moral courage to announce and defend
the principles which underlie imperial
ism let him cease to hide behind manu-
featured circumstances let him boldly
condemn the doctrine OF government by
the consent OF the governed. Let him
say: 1--WE are bigger than the Filipinos
and can whip them, therefore we are
entitled to anything that they have"
And when he has applied the doctrine 81
highway robbery to nations, let him
draw the line between such principle
applied to governmental affairs and the
same principle applied to individuals.
When the attempts to distinguished be.
tween force as the foundation of national
expansion and force as the foundation OF
individual acquisition he will begin to
realize what imperialism really means.

FROM STRAITS TO HARBOR.
Port Angeles. Pacific Railroad Co. Will Connect
With Northern Pacific.

The affairs of the Port Angeles-Pacitic
Railroad Company are being licked into
shape SO rapidly that few days more
will see active railroad construction under
way out OF Port Angeles, in, general
southwesterly direction, says a special
from Port Angeles. At III regular weekly
meeting last week the city council passed
the franchise asked for. and which takes
the place of the one granted the COM
pany at the inception Of the enterprise
two months ago. The new franchise
grants a thirty foot right of way on Turn
water street from the north line of FL ont
to the southerly city limits; also on First
street, between Tumwater and Lincoln !;
on Third, from Tumwater west to the
sampson tract; with right, if deemed
necessary, to diverge from Tumwater at
Sixth street and run over all streets and
alleys in a general southwesterly direc.
ton to the city limits; or to diverge from
Tumwater at Fifteenth in the same
general direction.
All rights granted are conditioned on
the company having completed and in
operation by December 30, 1904, 100
miles of road in the general direction OF
the Quillayute river, or to connection
with the Northern Pacific, or other trans-
continental road, short OF that distance.
Work is to commence Immediately and
be continued uninterruptedly.
The company is believed to be in satis-
factory shape, financially, to fulfill its
obligations under the contract. Mr..
Charles B. Dean, an experienced railroad
man, representing the capitalists who
belong to Elmira, N. Y, is on the
ground, having arrived from the east on
Saturday last. Mr.. Dean will remain in
charge of the constructing company.
Mr.. Norman r. Smith, to whom belongs
the honor of original promoter OF the
enterprise, will be ensineer-in-chief.
Mr.. Smith asserts that rails will be laid
as far as Lake Crescent by the first OF
next May.

A HOLD-UP FOlLED.
Discovery Of al old Deed illustrates an Attempt
a.,-..N. to Upset Title to CosmopoIis. -

A short time ago suit was filed in the
superior court bysW. II. Abel, attorney
for John Esmond, to recover one
fourth interes in the lands now occupied
by the Grays Harbor Commercial Co.,
at Cosmopols. The contention of Es-
mond was that when his father sold the
land, in 1886, hi mother was an inmate
of the hospital for the insane, and that
her interest-had not been conveyed, and
should revert to him and her other heirs.
AS no deed OF Mrs. Esmond was OF re-
cord, nor anv evidence of guardian
having acted on her behalf, the case had
quite plausible appearance, and, as the
Commercial Co., had expended vast
sums on the property, there was prs
pect that it would come down literally
in order to perfect its title.
The mill site was sold to the Cosmopo.
lis Mill & Trading Co., in 1886 by John
sEsmond andsW. A Anderson, the latter
now resident of Riverside, Cal. When
Mr.. Anderson read in the papers that
suit had been commenced he began to
get worried, for he had joined in war.
anty deed to the mill company.
A search among his old papers brought
to light the deed to the missing interest.
The deed was written May 10, 1888, by
Attorney Mason Irwin, now judge of the
superior court of this county, and in a
preamable recited that on May %, 1887
Probate Judge Pearson appointed John
Esmond guardian OF his wife. AS such
gnar liam he decided his wife's interest to
the mill company. The deed gives the
mill company clear title to the pro-
perty in dispute, and visions OF fat
divey have gone glimering.

JOHN H. MITCHELL
THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY MAN
NOW IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
A Young Man Without Early Educational
Advantages Successfully Parties the Thrusts
Of q Multitude Of Astute Lawyers The
Right Man In the Right Place.

It is becoming clearer and clearer
every day that John Mitchell. the young
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, is a man of extraordinary
parts.
Mr.. Mitchell is only thirty.three years
old, and yet he carries himself IN his
tremendously responsible position with
the dignity, reasonableness and acumen
which would seem to- be possible only to
a man of many years and large ex-
perience.
Before tI1e strike commission in ses-
sion at Scranton, Mr.. Mitchell delivered
one of the most remarkable speeches
that was ever made before any tribunal.
For splendid and yet simple eloquence,
for cogency and all forcibleness, for the
calm judicial spirit, blended with the
~qniet but determined manhood, which
knows its rights and dares its rights
maintain, it would be difficult in all the
annals of oratory to hit upon speech
which might be fairly pronounced its
superior.
For completeness of statement, for the
true laconic genius which is able to put
much in little, and for the real, genuine
logic of principle which says to all the
world: 81 feel that | am right, and
here l stand" the following is equal to
the best in Webster or Demosthenes:
'lt was the United Mine Workers OF
America that conferred with. the presi.
dent of the United States in relation to
the submission OF the issues involved in
the coal strike; it was the United Mine
Workers OF America that was requested
by the president to end the strike; i
was the United Mine Workers of America
that declared the strike at an end it
was the United Mine Workers of America
that sent the men back to work and it
is the United Mine Workers OF America
that is pledged to accept the award O
this commission.
There must have been a manly light
upon the young presidents face as he
spoke those powerful words We cannot
help feeling that had great artist beer
there to catch the look OF truth, justice
and determined valor upon the speakers
countenance it would have made noble
and thrilling picture!
1t was great occasion, great cause
was at stake, and there was great mar
there to defend the cause!
John Mitchell further demonstrated
his ability, as we'll as his simple, straight
forward manliness, when he successfully
ran the gauntlet of the multitude o.
astute lawyers who were trying to en-
tangle him.
The legal thrusts came thick and fast
but Mitchell parted them as rapidly al
they came, and when the battle wal
over he stood master of the arena.
There is something magnificent in this
young mans quiet yet determined dig
nifty. in his great good sense, and in his
splendid self.control.
We are not permitted to be specially
informed regarding the inside workings
of the world and it's events, but, as the
good old folks used to say, it looks as il
the election of John Mitchell to the
presidency of the United Mine Worker.
