A somewhat dramatic conversation is
that which the Hon. George S. Bout
well reports as having passed In 1865
between President Johnson and Gen.
eral Grant.

Some time after this Grant was in
vited to a Cabinet meeting. at which
Mr.. Seward read a paper Of lnstruc-
tions to him as minister OF some degree
to Mexico. The contents of the paper
could not have made strong impress
sion on General Grant, for he said af-
terward, In speaking of the Incident:
"The Instructions came out very near
where they went in"
But at the end of the reading he
remarked. "You recollect, Mr.. Presi-

The oyererowded condition OF the
residential quarters at the various mil
itary posts in this country, due to the
return of regiments from the Philip
pines, is embarrassing the military au-
thoritles. The trouble Is not so much
with respect to housing the officers
themselves as with the members of
their families, says the Washington
Star. The situation has reached a
point where bachelors are favored over
benedicts In assignment to stations
with limited living accommodations
where such discrimination Is possible
And 1t is even asserted that where
there is no other choice between two
young candidates for a commission II

erence to one who is married. Even
then 1t Is recognized, however, that
the bachelor appointed IS not likely to
continue long In single blessedness.
The powers that be admit that their
authority does not reach to the extent
of interfering with subsequent affairs
of the heart. 1t Is made plain that
there is no official prejudice against
matrimony-quite the contrary = but
Just at present the military posts
would afford better accommodations
for more officers IL 1t were not for the
family attachments of some OF them.

AN EXECUTIVE PUPpET.

Right on the heels of the announce
ment that absolute peace prevailed in
the coal region comes the news that
the executive of the state of Pennsyl-
vania has ordered out the entire mil
itary force under his command for
strike.
This action was not taken until the
coal operators had demanded of the
president that he order federal troops
to the scene. 1t was not taken as the
result of anarchy and bloodshed. OF of
the twenty-one murders which the coal
presidents assured the president had
been committed. No fresh outbreak
whatever had occurred. There was
whatever for such extreme action. In
fact, if the action is justified now, the
governor of Pennsylvania, by taking it,
has openly convicted himself of hav-
ing failed to discharge his full duty
in the past, while, as the public is
told, supreme disorder was prevalent.
1t is not necessary to inquire how
far the necessities of the mine opera
tors, in the situation they have created
for themselves, controlled Gov. Stone
in his action. That is matter en-
tirely which the state executive can
testify to, and he is not likely to en-
tighten the public on the subject. It
may all be designed to promote strife
and bloodshed. The immediate fu-
ture will show whether it can produce
that result. 1t may be intended to
over-awe the miners. That result,
however, is not probable. The miners
have the situation in their own con-
troll, and they can, If they will, show
by their conduct that the action of the
Pennsylvania executive is mere sub
terfuge, adopted for the promotion of
private rather than public ends.
The only affirmative remedy which

THE AMENDE HONORABLE.

The Globe would not knowingly
do injustice to any man. In matters
political it is the aim of this newspa-
per to be partisan, but honorable.
Therefore when an injustice is shown
to have been done to anyone in it's
columns such reparation as is required
will be promptly made. Thus it is that
an explanation is required in the mat
ter of the quotation from the Chicago
Record Herald, which was reproduced
in this newspaper Tuesday morning,
the quotation being the reputed utter
ance of Gov. S. r. Van SAINT on the
subject of the coal miners strike.
Not infrequently the metropolitan
newspapers telegraph directly to per-
mercial life, asking their opinions on
certain questions of immediate inter-
est. The answers received are printed
under the name of the person of whom
the inquiry was made, or over his sig
nature.
In the Chicago Record-Herald, the
leading Republican newspaper of the
Northwest of Saturday morning last,
appeared several reputed replies by
public men to request for an express
sion of opinion on the coal strike.
Among them was the one attributed to
Gov. Van SAINT. In this article the
governor was quoted as saying, among
other things: 81 find it difficult to
blame the operators"
Coming from the Chicago Record
Herald, T h e Gle b e had every right
to presume the expression of opinion
genuine. The Record-Herald is a news
paper not given to fakes" or yellow
ishness, nor is it given to any sort of
questionable conduct in the treatment
of news. The Glob reproduced the
matter attributed to Gov. Van SAINT in
the Chicago Record Herald, in good
faith, never doubling the genuineness
of the quotation.
Last evening T he Glob received
message from Gov. Van SAINT, dated
Moorhead, denying that he had ever
uttered or written the sentiment at
tributed to him; denying in toto the
authenticity of the matter. T h e
G b e at once made inquiry in Chi
cago and learned that the governor
had been misrepresented in the mat
ter; that the sentiment was never writ
ten by him, and that the Record Her
aid would, this morning, make retrac-
ton and explanation. This explana-
ton appears in another column of this
issue of T he G. ODE.
The G o b e will take advantage of
all of the mistakes Gov. Van SAINT has
made or may make during the cam
paign and will use such mistakes to his
disadvantage, but The Globe will
not knowingly put false words in his
mouth or accuse him of saying things
he never said. AS an honorable news
paper. T he Clio e makes this ex-
PLANTATION of the manner in which it
came to do the governor an injustice.

WORKING GOOD MINES
SOME OF THOSE OF THE NORTH
YIELDING RICH RETURNS
Many Miners Returning From Alaskan
Fields Report Successful Season
Made Five Dollars Per Day and
Board-Business of Gold Gathering
Settled Down to Business Methods.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 6.-Seattle is
filled today with mining men who have
returned laden with gold from the
placer fields of the North. The hotel
registers betray their presence in large
numbers. Most of them brought back
good money with them and the assay
office has been kept busy receipting
for gold dust from Wonder, Ophir,
Glacier and other creeks in the vicinity
Of Nome and Council City.
Many of the returning miners who
have arrived here during the past few
days originally came from points in
the state outside of Seattle. Among
these were DR.. D. G. Clark and Harry
G.. Rowland, of Puyallup. Both are
very well known in Pierce county,
where each has been active in politics.
Both have made a success Of mining
in the North. DR.. Clark has amassed
a fortune in two years, of probably
$4,000. He is man past middle age,
and was formerly deputy county clerk
under Clerk w. A. Fairweather, Of
Pierce county He is Mr.. Rowland's
father-in-law. Mr.. Rowland was the
Republican candidate for prosecuting
attorney of Pierce county in 1896.
At the Seattle hotel yesterday Dr.
Clark said that all the large mining
corporations of the North had had
most successful season during the past
year. Wages paid to the miners aver
age SIS per day and board. The men
work on DR.. Clarks claims ten hours
day all winter and in fact this was
the general rule.
DR.. Clark went into the Council dis
trict in 1899. This was before Nome
was much heard of. He secured
number of valuable holdings in the
district, which is eighty miles north
east of Nome. On fractional claim
DR.. Clark took out between 100000 and
$4,000, and then sold the claim for
a large sum.
''The Council City district will prove
one of the richest mining camps in the
world" said DR.. Clark. Immense
quantities of capital are being invest
ed there in hydraulic plants, includ-
ing bitches, and in the construction
of railroads. The Wild Goose COM
pany is extending it's railroad on Ophir
creek and is operating two steamers
in additions. The transportation ques-
ton, which lies close to the prosper
ity of the camps, will eventually be
solved and the cost of supplying the
camps will be greatly reduced. The
country has been very good to me-"
DR.. Clark brought back with him
grip containing the fruits Of his sea-
sons cleanup. 1t required all his
strength to pack it from the dock to
the James street car. The gold was
delivered to the local United States
assay Office.

THE NEW LIGHT SHINES.

The Iowa idea still holds the stage.
The new light which Speaker Hender-
son said should be let shine sheds its
inspiring rays on the public sentiment
of the nation. Iowa, represented by
two of her statesmen in the national
councils, has proclaimed the old doc
trine, ever new, that unnecessary and
burdensome taxation must be removed,
and that the law which shelters mo-
nopoly must go.
There have been those who have in
terpreted the Iowa idea as not the real,
altruistic idea. They must be disil-
Iusionized. Iowa has the boards, Its
prophets have spoken. Whatever I'M
certain note might have been discov-
cred in that voice is hushed in the gen.
eral acclaim of acceptance of the new
dispensation.
The new dispensation has found a
new and later prophet. He is one of
the patriots and statesmen of Iowa.
He is the governor that great COM
his voice to the voice of his party
friends and compatriots. Hereafter let
there be no uncertainty as to what the
Iowa idea embodies. Here is how the
executive of Iowa states his idea. He
says:
What I have tried at various times to
say is this: That monopoly, whether
10 lNn6 fTuTy
dividual is not entitled to the benefit of
tariff duties, and that if this were the
law, it would have some effect in pre-
venting the creation of monopolies."
This is plain. There is no mincing
of phrases here. A plain business like,
matter of-fact presentation of what
the Iowa idea means is this Whatever
great orators like Senator Dolliver may
construe the idea as meaning, Gov.
Cummins takes the platform of his
party in his own state as meaning
just what it purported to say, what it
sought to have the country believe it
did say.
But clear as are these sentences.
Gov. Cummins did not propose that
there Snoulu TelilaIH any cnance for
misunderstanding. He proceeded to
further elucidation of the now famous
doctrine of Iowa. Here is how he did
the job, making that palmer that was
plain already:
1T is not necessary to the business of
the country that monopoliZes shall exist.
and ambitious men should be informed
that they cannot have both monopolies
and the tariff. You can be sure they will
choose the course most profitable to
them"
They cannot have both the lnonopo-
