THE GOLDEN RULE.

The Golden Rule is worldwide and is
%variously voiced as follows:
Do as you would be done by.-Per-
sian.
Do not that to a neighbor which you
would take i'll from him.-Grecian.
What you would not wish done to
yourself do not unto others.-Chinese.
One should seek for others the happi.
ness n desires for oneself.-Buddhist.
He sought for others the good he de-
sired for himself. Let him pass on
Egyptian.
All things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you. do We even so to
them.-Christian.
Let none Of you treat his brother in
a way he himself would dislike to be.
treated-M ohammedan.
The true rule in business is to guard
and do by the things of others as they
do by their OWn.-Hindoo.
The law imprinted on the hearts Of
all men is to love the members OF So
ciety as themselves.-Roman
Whatsoever you do not wish your
neighbor to do to you do not unto him.
This is the whole law. The rest is a
mere exposition Of it.-Jewish.

JUDGE ROASTED THE JURY.

JUDGE ROASTED THE JURY.
At the trial of a case in Devils
the other day the jury came in for a
warm roast from Judge Cowan, who.
presided. The case was against one
Way. for selling liquor. Way is a
young man and was one of the North
Dakota soldiers in the Philippines.
Since his return he does not appear to
have kept himself free from suspicion,
and he was arrested some little time
ago on a charge of blind pigging. The
case went to the jury, and after b.
out for a long time that body reported
that they could not agree. The court
called them in and discharged them.
and in doing so he administered a
scorching rebuke that is said to have
been very thorough. He frankly told
the jury that there was no excuse for
the disagreement, as the evidence was
so plain and unmistakable that there
could be no doubt in the matter. He
said that the disagreement was a will
full one, and the jurors went off with
their ears singing. The prisoner was
ordered recommitted, and the court
stated that the case would go to trial
again at this term of court. There
was another case to be tried, against
Ways partner, and before that could
be called Attorney Townsend, who rep
resented both Way and his partner,
filed afidavits of prejudice. which, of
course, took the matter out of the
hands of Judge Cowan. Judge Pol
lock will be called from Fargo to try
the cases.

MOVES CASE

WASHINGTON ADVICEs SAY THE
MOVES CASE is NOT YET SET
tiled.
Washington special: The Moves
Mckenzie matter is not closed. Nc
Kenzie has been in Washington for
more than a week, and proposes to re-
main here until the departments of jus
tice has closed its hearings. Attor-
neys representing Judge Noyes and the
other defendants are here preparing
elaborate briefs for submission to the
attorney general. These briefs will
be as comprehensive as possible. and
will set forth all of the facts as thew
are viewed from the pro Moves side of
the case. In the end the attorney
general will be in full possession of all
the information on the Moves side
which is available. This will act as
a counterpart to the anti-Noyes propo-
ganda which has been busy in Wash
ington for more than a year and has
saturated the city with information
representing only it's peculiar views.
What the attorney general will re-
commend to the president it is not DOS
sible at this time to know. 1t is I'M
derstood that the briefs which are be-
ing prepared will deal with two main
points. First. the question as to
whether or not Judge Noyes acted in a
judicial manner at Cape Nome; and
second, whether or not he was com
petent a%cceptably to discharge the du-5
ties falling on him as judge of the
court there. These points will open
up the briefs to a full discussion OF the
appointment of receivers and the fall
ure of Noyes to comply promptly with
the order of the California court Of ap-
peals. The action of that court in
levying a heavy fine on Noyes and in
sentencing others to terms in jail will
therefore be passed in review before
the department of justice. The find
ing of the department will interest the
entire country, for the Noyes case has
attracted great interest east and west.
No case similar to it has ever arisen in
this country, it is said.

President Roosevelt takes the same
view of the Schley case that was taken
by the court of inquiry, and the view
thai it was generally expected he
would take. Admiral Schley gets full
some compliments from the people. but
his naval maneuvers when weighed by
q standard of naval regulations do
not Seem to meet the appreciation of
careful critics. There being no other
tribunal 70 which the admiral can ap-
peal, It is TO be hoped we have heard
the last OF the Schley case.

The Importance of the tests being
made OF the s of Ignite coal on rail-
road locomotives is great to this Sec
ton of country. Once established that
engines can be constructed to burn lig-
mite economically, and to do a given
amount Of work, and a great step has
been taken in advancing the Ignite in
dustry. Objections will be raised be-
cause OF the bulk Of the fuel and the
difficulty OF handling it, but if the bulk
OF the fuel can be burned economically
these disadvantages will be finally
overcome. 1t is a matter of congrat-
ulation that the value of Ignite coal
is so far established that officials of a
great transcontinental railroad will
consent even to make a test of it. and
it is further satisfactory that the test
has been successful.

.HE WEEKLY TRtBUNE
THE SCHLEY DECISION

The main points in President Roose-
velt's decision of the Schley case are
as follows: ,
| am satisfied that on the whole the
court did substantial justice. The
court is a unit in condemning Schley's
action on the point where it seems to
me he most gravely erred-his retro
grade movement" when he abandoned
the blockade-and his disobedience of
orders and misstatements of fact in re-
1ation thereto. '"
Technically, Sampson commanded
the fleet. The actual fact, the i'm
portant fact. is that after the battle was
begun not a helm was shifted, not a
gun was fired, not a pound of steam
was put On in the engine room aboard
any ship actively engaged, in obedience
to the order of either Sampson or
Schley, save on his own two vessels.
1t was a captains fight
His {Sampson's) real claim for cred
it rests on his work as commander-in-
w.g3s--S.-TeEE III IH arn.E-F tEI -s.=fa.r-
chief.
Admiral Schley is rightly entitled to
the credit of what the Brooklyn did in
the fight. On the whole. she did well.
1t lthe loop seriously married the
Brookiyn's otherwise excellent record.
being, in fact, the only grave mistake
made by any American ship that day.
In concluding their report the mem
bers Of the court of inquiry recon-
mended that no further action be had
in the matter. With this recon-
mendation I most heartily concur.
There is no excuse whatever from
either side for any further agitation Of
this unhappy controversy. To keep
it alive would merely do damage to the
navy and to the country.
