that it's acknowledgement. Unwill-
ing to see MIR. Baird lose his coat, Mr..
Mpsser procured 1t and brought 1t with
him to Akron. When he arrived here
he telephoned to the Baird home and
told about the overcoat. you've made
a mistake" was the reply, 'for Mr..
Baird brought his overcoat with him."
This rather annoyed Mr.. Musser,
and he wrote to Mr.. James Walker
OF Cleveland, leader Of the Winch dele
gates, and asked him to find the owner,
II possible. Mot long afterward Mr..
Walker found that the coat belonged
to Attorney +. s. MCGOWAN, of Cleve-
land. who was prominent Caldwell
delegate, and Afr. Musser's letter was
referred to him. In the letter Mr..
Musscr stated that some of the Akron
people had accused him of helping to
steal the judgship nomination from
Judge Caldwell, but for the sake of
his reputation, he hoped no one would
accuse him of stealing an overcoat.
Mr.. NIcGowan's reply follows:
Cleveland O., June %.
Harvey Musser, Esq, Akron, O.;
Dear Sir--NIr. James Walker, of this
city, one of the leaders Of the victor
ious cohorts of Nominee Lewis a..
Winch. informs me that you were not
only unklnd enough to do things to
us Caldwell men, but you also endeav-
ored to gather in all the rain coats,
etc, which the Caldwell men happen
Cd to have about them. OF course, I
suspected that 1t was some Winch
delegate who took my coat but there
were so many of them, especially when
1t came to voting, that / gave up as
hopeless the task of ascertaining the
offending party. Now that you have
been betrayed by your friends, and
since the month of storms is about
past. l suppose you will be willing to
enter into negotiations. You certain
ly can afford to be generous, under the
circumstances.
TO como down to the real gist of the
matter, I should be highly delighted
If you would express that rain coat
to me; in fact, will even agree to pay
the express charges. The fact Of the
matter is, am very much pleased tc
know that 1t fell into the hands of an
Akron lawyer. Among my brethrer
of the Bar here / might find trouble
as they would say any man who was
so careless as to leave coat lying
around at political convention die
not deserve to get it back.
Very truly yours,
~ f, S. MCGOWAN.
! After receiving his coat, Mr.. McGow
an replied 4 have the sensation o
having received a present, as neve
expected to see the coat again, until
learned that ..you-.had It."

siderable fun in the incident.

Mr.. Baird. wore a storm overcoat, And

wearing IT. After the convention, Mr.

the hall, and while leaving, he saw q
storm overcoat which he at once
thought belonged to Mr.. Baird, and

st. Paul, March 24-The Pioneer Press
says
Attorney General w. B. Strdtton OF the
state OF Washington has been IN tais city
during the past ee,> in consultation with
Attorney General Douglas, and plans have
been OutlinSd Tor proceeding against the
so called merger OF the Northern PLcliic
and Great Northern railways The plan
embraces d suit against the two railways
and then against the Northern Securities
company in the state courts of Washing
ton. Attorney General Stratton argued
that because the Northern Securities com
pany was a foreign corporation, the state
courts would refuse to take jurisdiction
over it, and as the decision of the supreme
court of the United States held that Min
nesota's remedy lay in her own courts,
the state was helpless to fight the pro
posed merger. Attorney General Douglas,
however has come to the conclusion that
as the situation presented is unique, n
that sovereign state would thus be lef.
at the mercy of a foreign corporation,
formed, as alleged, for the purpose of VIC.
lating a state law. the courts will Jake
a broad and liberal view of the matter
and allow the state to present its case
before them.
AS to the proposed action in the fed
eral courts of Washington state, that sta e
is not barred from the federal courts.
because none of the heads of corpora
tons is citizen of that state The allie
cations and complaints to be brought IN
that state, it is said, will be identical

We think that the election Of w. w.
Harris was nothing of the kind. Dole
was not on trial nor either was the
Republican Territorial Administra-
tlon. The battle was fought on straight
political lines, and the Republican
have won. Many reasons can be found
for such result. The Independent as
the champion of the Hawaiian people,
earnestly supported thes candidacy OF
a.. -
August Dreier because it honestly be-
lieved it to be for the betterment OF
our fellow citizens. We have lost the
battle, counted our wounded and come
out of it all with a stronger confidence
