GEN. SMITHS CASE.
It is Now Said That. the Court Con-
victed Him.

1t is announced at the War. Department
that the case of Gen. ]. II. Smith will not
be finally acted upon before the end of next
week at the earliest. Judge Advocate Gen
eral Davis has completed his review of the
proceedings of the court-martial, and the
papers are now in the hands of Secretary
Root, who is so busy with other matters
that he has not yet had time to give the
case the attention it deserves.
1t has been generally understood that
Gen. Smith was acquitted by the court, but
it transpired today that such was not the
case, the court having, it is alleged, found
Gen. Smith guilty of violating the rules of
war and sentenced him to be reprimanded
by the reviewing authority. which in this
case is President Roosevelt. Inasmuch as
the case is considered strictly confidential
until finally acted upon by the President,
it is impossible to obtain any official in
formal ton in regard to it.

WILL HONOR MELVILLE.
Proposed Naval Engineering Labora-
tory

Representative Foss of Illinois, chairman
of the naval committee of the House, today
introduced bill to establish naval engi-
neering laboratory to be known as the Mel
vile engineering laboratory, after Rear Ad-
miral Melville, chief engineer of the navy,
who soon will go on the retired list. Mr..
Foss says that the laboratory is urgently
needed and that it is most appropriate to
name it after the one who has been so
prominently identified with the engineering
branch of the navy. Another considera ton
has been that the naval personnel act oper-
ated to merge the identity of Admiral Mel
vllleS corps in the lire of the navy The
friends of the measure call attention also
to Admiral Melville's services in the arctic
region. where he was one of the foremost
OF the Jeanette expedition.
The bill provides that the laboratory SHALL
be on government land designated by the
Secretary of the Navy, to cost with equip
ment not exceeding 100000, of which s2o0,-
UOU is appropriated.

WAY BELOW The MARX.

Tax Commissioner Fleming is TO be
highly commended for his courageous
action in raising the assessment of the
railroads from the nominal valuation
fixed on the mileage basis by the state
board to what he cOnceives to be the
actual value of their terminals and prop
critics within the city limits. But the
tax commissioners assessment is still
way below the mark.
Take, for example, the Union Pacific
railroad. which is placed by him at
6 1864, $40, when by rights, at the lowest
estimate, the value of its taxable prop
erty in Omaha is not less than 100000
600 and Is capitalized for many millions
more. Eight years ago while the road
was still in the hands of receivers Virgil
G. Bogue, one Of the principal witnesses
for the Union Pacific in the maximum
rate case on trial in the United States
circuit court, computed the value of the
Union Pacific terminals at Omaha at
So, los, 1881. In this computation he In
cluded S135,OOO for headquarters build

r~ight-of-way from South Omaha to Gil
more, but that was more than offset by
his ridiculously low valuation of the
Union Pacific freight house and upper
yard at $1O1,35O, when in fact the yard
age and freight house facilities of the
Union Pacific are worth nearer $1,000
600 than 100000.
The value of the Improvements made
by the road in its terminal facilities
within the past eight years, including
the Union passenger depot, viaducts and
bridges, additional depot grounds and
enlarged right-Of-way by the settlement
with the city Of Omaha by which they
acquired miles of streets and alleys, can
not be less than S3.OOO.O0O, while the in
creased franchise value OF these termi-
nails would be at least equal to another
100000. or, in round figures, at least
$l2,O0O,00o.
The valuation placed by the tax COM
missioner on the Burlington terminals
and properties is also exceedingly low.

The announcement OF Congressman
Babcock Of Wisconsin, hat he will not

far as the west Is concerned. for Con-

is conceded that IL the west is united
ON n candidate it can in all probability
control the caucus Of republican mem
bers. 1t can now be confidently pre-
dicted that, with Babcock out Of the
race, the west will be solidly united
on Cannon.
Mr.. Babcock's decision and announce

He would have had the support of the
Wisconsin delegation, part of the Iowa

1t is hardly possible, however, that he

whole matter at the outset.

1t is not to be expected, however, that
the tax commissioners assessment will
be allowed to stand, IL the railroads can
help it. They have enjoyed %extraordi-

INDUSTRIAL PEACE.

The very earnest interest manifested
by President Roosevelt in behalf Of in
dustrial peace ought to make a strong
impression upon the country. The pres
ident has manifested in regard to his
matter the greatest solicitude and has
never neglected an opportunity to i'm
press upon the public the necessity Of
promoting industrial peace. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY n of the things which most
engrosses his thought and which he
strongly feels to be most essential to
the continued prosperity and progress
Of the country.
In his notable address before the New
York Chamber of Commerce last week,
Mr.. Roosevelt made the subject Of in
dustrial peace a prominent feature. He
urged the commercial men there assem-
bled, representing a tremendous power
in the business affairs of the nation,
to exert their great influence in behalf
of the maintenance of the Industrial
peace. Nothing that has been said on
this subject was more direct and pointed
and vigorous than the utterance
Of President Roosevelt and it was
especially valuable because timely and
made to a body of men who are In a
position to do a very great deal in pro-
noting Industrial peace, Such an organ
ization as the Chamber of Commerce Of
the metropolis of the western hemi-
sphere could, if disposed to, exert a
potential influence in the cause of indus
trial peace. And there is no doubt that
the great influence which the president
then called upon will be used in future
in the interest of the great work for
which President Roosevelt has ON

AN UNJUST

The statement recently made by Ca
madam authorities to the effect that
Americans had unjustly invaded the ter
ritory in Alaska claimed by Canada
has met with a prompt and unqualified
denial. officials of the coast and geo.
detic survey pronounce as absolutely
false the statement that entertainments
had been made Upon British territory
and there cannot be a reasonable doubt
as to the truthful Jess of this statement.
In the first place there can be no object
on the part of the American surveyors
to invade British territory, and in the
second place they are especially eau
toned against any such course by the
regulations governing their investiga-
ton in regard to boundaries.
1t should be understood that the eff
forts on the part of the representatives
of this government to ascertain the
proper boundaries in Alaska are being
conducted with the utmost regard for
the interests of all parties concerned
and in an entirely fair and impartial
manner. The purpose of our govern
ment in prosecuting this investigation
is to secure unquestionable facts that
can be used in the final determination
of the very important question respect
ing the Alaskan boundary. From the
very outset of this controversy the
United States has shown a disposition to
deal with this issue with the utmost
fairness and that is the feeling of the
government now. Had Canada met the
question in the same spirit there would
not today be any controversy between
the two countries in regard to the mat
ter, but on the contrary a perfectly
amicable and satisfactory arrangement
would long since have been reached.
The charge now made by the Canadian
government, for which there appears
to be no substantial reason, is simply
calculated to complicate the situation
and render a final settlement more diff
ficult. That this is the intention is per-
fectly obvious and it ought to convince
those who are familiar with the circum-
lessness Of being able to get anything
lesssness of being able to get anything
like fair and honorable action. on the
part of Canada in connection with the
question of the Alaskan boundary.

The Gospel of SeIf-HeIp

Detroit Free
The first requisite Of a good citizen in
this republic Of ours is that he shall be
able and willing to pull his weight" said
President Roosevelt in his speech at the
dedication Of the New York Chamber Of
Commerce-'that he shall not be a mere
passenger, but shall do his share in the
work that each generation Of us finds ready
at hand. and, furthermore. that in doing
bis work he shall show not only the ca
pacity for sturdy self-help, but also self
respecting regard for the rights Of others"
Good words, those, and worthy of the hon
est consideration OF every citizen. The
gospel Of the strenuous life is good in its
way, but the gospel of self-help is better.
and there was never a time in the history
OF the country when the republic needed
manly and eloquent sermons in support of
the American theory OF independence. The
notion OF self-help is rapidly giving way
to the notion of social assistance. Half the
thought OF society is directed toward the
d%evising OF methods by which the individual
can slide through life with the least pos
sible e%xertion on his part.
Mr.. Morgan builds a maternity hospital
for the modern American to be born in.
Mr.. Rockefeller endows a university at
which he is to be educated. Mr.. Carnegie
constructs libraries for him and provides
books TO while away his leisure hours. The
community undertakes to bury him IL he
has not made a SUFFICIENT effort to acquire an
estate that is capable Of paying his funeral
expenses. We are creating a condition of
society in which a few men are allowed to
disregard everybody else's rights in order
to acquire fortunes that can be devoted to
improving the condition Of their fellow be-
ings. The fact that Mr.. Morgan or Mr..
Carnegie or Mr.. Rockefeller are willing TO
devote their wealth to what they call be-
n%evolent purposes stiles all inquiry as to
the processes by which this wealth was
obtained. There is no curiosity as TO
whether the rights Of others have been sac
rihoed in the making or not. We are as
