A QUEER DAMAGE SUT.-The cul-
mination of the mania for instituting
damage suits for the unexpected in
juries which so often happen, is af-
forded by suit brought in the Supe-
sior Court at Spokane, by Roy E..
Weiser against Holzmen & Co., for
having his eye knocked out by an ex-
ploding champagne-cider bottle. 1t
seems that Weiser was employed as
bartender at Harrington, Wash, for
NJ. l.. Plat, and that in handling
some of the product put up by Holz-
man & Co. one of the bottles exploded,
inflicting the above named irreparable
injury, and the complaint alleges that
the manufacturers well knew that the
cider developed gas which is explo-
sive, and that the injured man was
not aware OF the fact, the bottles not
being labeled so as to inform parties
handling it of its explosive nature.
Weiser claims that he is % years of
age and was able to earn from So to
s. per day and that he is permanently
disabled and damaged to the extent Of
$4,000.

The Ship-Canal Question,

The relative merits of the Nicara-
guam and the Panama canal routes
will engage much time OF Congress to
adequately determine. While the lat
ter is shortest and may therefore be
constructed and operated at less ex-
pense, the Nicaraguan route involves
less questionable engineering prob
lens, and the title to the concessions
Of right Of way seem to involve less
trouble. The overflow of the Chagres
river in times of flood and the low
water in the dry season, are Difficult
ties in the way OF operation of the
shorter route. In the dry season, it is
said, it would not afford sufficient
water to operate the locks which will
have to be constructed to make the
waterway available, and to overcome
this difficulty, storage reservoirs will
have to be constructed as we'll as di-
verting channels provided to carry off
the overflow when the opposite condi-
tions prevail. Besides this, the Pana-
ma route is affected by climatic con.
ditions which imperil the health Of
those in charge of the work of con-
s,ruction and its operation when
built, which do not apply to the Mica
ragua route, and probably this consid-
Grafton will have more weight than
the matter of availability, when the
matter comes to a final decision.

Actor Neill Blunders.

james NeIil, the actor, while at Spo-
kane short time ago, started upon
the inltlatory ceremony OF the Elks,
but before completing the rather
rough experience that qualities one to
wear antlers, he backed out and left
the hall bitterly denouncing the lodge
and its member. This seems strange
of one who must, of necessity have
rubbed up again>. some Of the sharp
corners OF life, and should have known
the basic principle OF all orders, an.
cient and modern, founded upon the
fraternal principle. 1t seems, however,
that he still clings to the belief that
he was subjected to unwarranted per-
sonal indignities, during initiation,
and ignores the assurance that he
might have been enabled to discover
the intent of the sublime mysteries,
after passing the final ordeal, and
which, as Leophyte, he regarded as
"debasing practices" In an interview
accorded Butte newspaper he says:
Reflection convinces me that my
protest against personal indignity and
coarse butioOnery was timely, and en-
tirely justified. The Elks have protest
ed against the word indignity but so far
| have been unable to find softer word
To Il .t0 ,,14. Al
cumstances. OF blow with stuffed
club. am convinced that when time
and sober reason have removed the last
vestige of the undignified and debasing
practices that disgraced the order in its
primitive days, shall be asked again
to present myself for initiation, but until
then l prefer to preserve my personal
dignity and American manliness.
Mr.. Nell will, it is hoped, discover
that it is the intent that should give
force to the acts of an organization
that honored him by admission to
their membership. There was surely
no intent to inflict personal indignity
upon anybody who has passed the Or
deal of the ballot for membership.
The high character of the member
ship of the order, taken as a whole,
forbids any such admission.
Nearly all the great orders have
originated from what Mr.. Neil CLASH.
fies as buffoonery, to satisfy mans
natural craving for something out OF
the common, and possibly absurd, in
cementing the bonds OF union between
the membership and those entering
the portals for place with them.
Odd Fellowship-and it is said Mason
ry-the two oldest orders OF civiliza.
ton, are based upon ceremonies that
may seem grotesque to such strict
construct:onists as Mr.. Neill; and all
modern orders, pass
From the grave to the gay
From lively to severe"
without much torture of that conceit-
ed feeling called Dignity. 1t is prob.
able that the talented actor may yet
learn that 'twere better to have put a
buckle on his lip than to have antag-
onized the membership of an order
like the Elks.

Two Gentlemen from Indiana.

W INDIANA Republicans have the
proper idea. A few days ago
H. they renominated by acclamotion
Judge Crumpacker, the congress
man who is pushing the enforcement
of the American constitution in re-
spect to jug handled franchise restric-
tions. and now word comes that they
have accorded similar honor to Con-
gresham lands, the brilliant and
eloquent member from the Delphi dis
trict, who so pleased Scranton audi
ence in his joint discussion with Champ
Clark These representatives from ad-
Joining districts entered congress to-
of service on the bench. and the other
from the sanctum of an influential
newspaper, the discussion of political
topics in which had attracted wide
spread compliment. Both are, compar-
atlvely speaking poor men, who could
easily better their. condition from n
financial standpoint if they would re-
linquish public life; but the people of
their districts will not have it, Having
already served three terms, they Will
in their fourth be among the recog-
nized leaders. For that matter they
are leaders now, but the longer the
term of service the greater the oppor-
tunity of securing that recognition in
committee assignments which enables
the congressman of ability to put his
ability To the most effective use. In
diana is evidently learning from Maine
and Iowa that it does not pay to make
frequent changes in congressional rep
resentation except for cause, We con-
gratulate Messrs. Crumpacker and
Landis, but more especially we con-
gratulate their constituents.

An Issue Bound to Come.

~ CONGRESSMAN DICK of Ohio
recently made the statement
49, that a manufacturer of now
nay ers and reapers at Akron, o.,
had written To him that his firm was
buying American-made steel in Europe
and shipping it back to the United
States. paying the duty and freight and
still getting the steel cheaper than it
could be purchased of the steel trust
direct. Congressman Dick Is n Repub-
lcan and protectionist. He Is the
chairman of the Ohio Republican state
central committee and man whose
word Is taken at par wherever known.
1t lis possible that the Akron man drew
n long bow while writing to General
Dick. His statement hardly seems
reasonable. But the fact that steel ex-
ports command lower prices in foreign
markets than the same articles sell
for at home is we'll established and 1t
explains why many sincere protection
lists believe the time is near at hand

M other day to the presence
in New York of n dis
tnguished British phil
anthropist, the Earl Grey, whose mis-
sion was to interest the City club,
body OF philanthropic New Workers, in
plan, already In operation in England,
for overcoming many Of the attendant
evils of the saloon business. Additional
information as to this British plan has
since been received: and no doubt 1t
will interest some of our readers.
In England what is known as the
Public House Trust,--an incorporated
body of prominent men interested in
public improvements, material and
inoral-has gone into the saloon busi-
ness on large scale and for certain
well-detined purposes. which differ
from the purposes usually actuatinS the
American saloon-keeper. In the first
place, the English company limits its
profits to 4 per cent on the capital In
vested. All above that figure is turned
over for purposes of public utility and
Improvement such as the construction
of public Fairgrounds. reading rooms,
libraries and the like.
The trust buys all it's liquors through
a central agency, thus getting the best
possible quality and securing the lowest
possible price. No adulterated goods
are permitted a place on it's shelves.
The local managers are under instruc-
tions not only not to sell to persons
under the influence of liquor and of
known incorporate habits, but also to
push upon customers, whenever possi-
| BILE, notwithstanding drinks or liquors
having II low per centage of alcohol. 1t
Is hoped by this means to gradually
reduce the large consumption in Great
Britain OF spirits. Emphasis is also
placed on food sales and on the cultiva-
| ton of wholesome amusements. The
aim is to make the trust public house
Il poor mans club, without the demor-
alizlng features often to be found in
| the saloon whose object is to make the
| largest possible profit in the shortest
possible time.
In a letter to the New York Sun DR..
| Funk, the well-known advocate of pro-
! pected objection to this policy. He is
| opposed to respectable" saloons and
wants them to become just as un-
respectable as possible. in order that
persons of naturally respectable tastes
and inclinutions will be discouraged
| from going into them Nevertheless,
| DR.. Funk is impressed with the thought
| that something should be done to COM
pete with the saloon as a social rem
devious for the poor. His idea is that
the municipalities should provide album
dant clubhouses and concert saloons
| containing ample provisions for sports
! and for social reunions for families and
individuals, with welcome but non in
toXicating cheap refreshments.
| Between these eXtremes OF opinion
| there is no satisfactory basis of COM
promise. 1t is like the army canteen
controversy; neither side is willing to
pe guided wholly and dispassionately
| by the evidence; each is Il slave to
| theory. AS Il matter of fact neither
prohibition nor philanthropic essays at
! saloon keeping will overcome the drink
habit and the evils growing out of it;
they are fundamental in human nature
and will yield only to moral evolution
ana the grace of God.

hear the farewell sermon Of the
pastor, who left here this morn

Of labor. Mr.. Wells leaves here
with the sincere good wishes OF
this entire community, and the
feeling manner of his deliverance
was indicative of his realization

a beautiful voluntary rendered

Wells, and at the conclusion of
the sermon Mr.. Wells addressed
himself to the congregation in
most eloquent and touching re-

summary of his sermon:

Ella is in a bad fix: both England
and Germany! have made de-
mands upon her which President
Castro refused to comply with;
and to force the demands Puerto
Cabello was subjected to a bonn,
bardment. 1t is a measley
shame" that these two giants
should jump on such a pigmy OF
a republic. The Venezuelan
government has begged for ar:
bitration, and it is to be hoped
that the outside humane powers
will step in and ask the fiery
German and the English bully
to stop and fight a fellow their
size.
