lin the sweet bye and bye" AS Terri
torial Treasurer, we say-pela paha?
Let us recall an instance wherein the
late ex-delegate had the say with re-
gard to Federal appointments here.
When Judge Gear sought his present
Office in Washington, although he was
strongly recommended by the Repub-
lican National Committeeman, he had
to seek and beg for Mr. Wilcox's re-
commendation and approval, which
was readily given, even after Mr..
Gears attempt to unseat him. other
appointments were sought in the same
manner, but his approval had first to
be gotten. And why not in the present
cases of Governor and Federal Judge?
Our dickey bird informed us prior
to election (but we did not care to
make use of it them that a certain
grand jury now in session found true
bill against an attorney for his con.
nection with Japanese prostitutes and
that the Territorial Police Department
just managed to save itself by one vote
lacking. Probably, in the latter in
stance, it was done to save the Sheriff
candidate of the Republicans from od-
ium, for we heard him boast on the Or
pheum platform that the grand jury
had not got at him during his whole
time in office. And sure as faith, it
was politics that saved his scalp from
indictment, if our dickey' birds infor-
nation is to be relied upon.

memory OF the late President McKin-
ley. In discussing this subject many
people fail to consider that such
memorial would be Objectionable to a
majority of the people of this Terri
tory. Assistance to a military post
or to some school could not be OBJ
jected to; but certainly nothing that
would constantly draw attention to
the despoiler of Hawaiis independ-
ence is desirable nor should it be en-
couraged. If the late President Nc
Kinley, who possessed most of the
qualities, of truly great man, could
speak, he himself would object to
memorial that would continuously
stand before the people as the symbol
of a sentiment and policy Objectionable
to them.

business of getting their bonds in

TURNS SILVER INTO GOLD
Scientist Says He Has Accomplished
This Result and Shows
the Gold.

Philadelphia, July 27.--"Alchemy exists.
Cold has been made from the baser metals.
The atom of science has been divided into it's
component ions and the ions reassembled in
new combinations" The authority for these
assertions is Rudolph Melville Hunter Of
West philadelphia. eiectricar expert and in
Yentor.
Mr.. Hunter asserts that he has transmitted
silver into gold twenty-four carats fine. He
showed to a reporter last night quantity of
gold in the forms Of grains, fakes and pei
let's that he said had been made from silver
dollars. He said that he was now busily en-
gagged in making gold in secret workshop
within the limits of Philadelphia.
AS described by Mr. Hunter, silver, in the
process of Its transmutation into gold. is
treated by electrical, chemical and mechani-
cal processes. The changing of silver into
gold, he asserts, is comparatively easy, be-
cause the metals are of the same group and
resemble each other in atomic construction.
When asked as to the relative values Of
the gold produced to the silver consumed, he
said:
zone dollar produces $40 Of gold; that is to
say, an ounce of silver makes an ounce of
sold The weight OF the gold is the same,
but the specific gravity of the metal is
changed from 1914 to 1873, and consequently
it occupies only about one-half the space.
pleted, no normal conditions viii laffect 1t
any more than they would affect gold pro-
duced from mines. 1t Is gold for all time to
come. 1t will stand every test for gold known
to man.

BELFAST GREETS KING
British Monarch Is Cheered Heartily
as He Passes Along the
Public Streets.

Belfast, July 27.-The welcome extended
to King Edward and Queen Alexandra at
the capital Of Ulster was marked by the
same enthusiasm which has followed their
progress thru Ireland. The city was elab-
orately decorated and thronged with
stghtseers and the streets were lined by
10000 troops, 1000 bluejackets and 5000
police The lord mayer and corporation,
awaited their majesties at the railroad
station and presented them with an adj
dress. Upwards OF fifty other addresses
were presented on the same occasion.
The king in reply said his highest am
bition was to follow in the footsteps of his
mother and make the we'll being Of his
people, the prosperity of Ireland and the
maintenance of the peace Of all nations
his constant aim. The royal procession
was then formed and traversed the streets
to the city hall, where the king unveiled
a statute erected in honor of Queen Vto-
toria.
The reception which their najesties
met with everywhere was most enthu-
siastic.
F A serious accident occurred while their
majesties were subsequently driving to
the Victoria which they opened to-day.
A peasant woman succeeded in passing
the Gordon Of troops and rushed towards
the royal carriage. She was knocked
down, and falling beneath the wheels,

Methodist Episcopal church, now in ses-
sion here, commend the white people OF
the south for refusing negroes social
equality and declare the south the best
place for the negro. The resolutions are
in part as follows: ....
We commend the southern white man
because he refuses to let negroes drink
at his founts, eat In his cafes, sleep in his
hotels, for the following reasons: 1t forces
the negro to build his own resorts, teaches
him business and turns a flood Of money
to negro vaults and bank accounts. II
gives his boy and girl work and estab-
fishes thrift, industry and economy.
We find that wholesale butchery Of ne
groes has gained strong hold In the
north and is being invited and urged by
some who claim heirship to the ministry
and place among Gods people.
We believe. after carefully recalling the
facts, that the negro is as safe or safer
in the south than in the north; safer be-
cause he can earn living In any vocA.
ton in the south that he possesses ability
to do; safer because no southern preacher
is on record as having pleaded to 5000
people to burn a human being.

would externinate the whole race.

do that. But In order to do it as 1t should

ton must be revoked. Let the southerner

'The north Is responsible to-day for
the situation in the south. Fed with the
meat of northern criticism, the negro has
grown so great that he would make his
own laws. Left alone, he Is tractable,
faithful, and friendly; imbued with the
ideas of people who know nothing of him,
he loses sense OF honor, Of trust, and
gratitude"

of morning papers that they drove him

him until he was in the water.

of age and had the appearance of refine

Necessary.

st. Petersburg, July 27.-Director Hart
wig Of the Asiatic department of the Rus
star foreign office has talked long, ear
nestly and frankly to q representative OF
the Associated Press regarding Manchu-
ria. He began by making the statement
that the Russo Chinese situation was like
~ to remain unchanged Until the return
Of War Minister Korupatkin. Hartwig de-
clared that he could not understand Prince
Chfng's statement to United States Min
lister Conger, but he presumed that the
port question would be arranged. Rus
STA, he said. excluded Hardin from the
port facilities because of its railway i'm
portance, but he could see no objection
to two other ports being opened.
The director made remarkably out
spoken attack upon England. He said:
Il do not comprehend how Russia, whose
foreign policy Is the most straightforward,
can be accused Of duplicity, when Eng
lands double dealing Should be apparent
to everybody.
England stIrs Up Trouble.
England never addressed to us In
auiries, complaints or protests regarding
Manchuria. She recognizes our specia
and America against Russia. The Eng
lish dispatches from the far east are fol

why doesn't America see thru the
trick? Why swallow the bait so awk-
wardly disguised? Does America desire
war? Why does nobody stop to consider
how much the American Manchur;ar
trade amounted to before 1899? Whoever
heard Niu-chuang mentioned before VIZ
brought order there? Who IL building
Dalny as a free port?
we do not fear war, even with flvt

Henry clews' Opinion.
In his review Of the Wall street situa-
tion, Henry Clews says: indications are
that the bottom is not far distant. This
applies, however, only to really sound Sc
curities. There Is still on the market a
mass Of undigested stocks, or indigestible
as Mr. Hill aptly described them, for which
a still lower market is possible, If not
probable. AS disturbing element, there
fore, these must continue to be taken into
consideration

Huron, S. D., July 27.-A. c. Johnson
and a party of grain buyers from Min
neapolis have just completed a trip thru
the state inspecting crop conditions, and
their report is very satisfactory In all
respects. The whole party believe the
crops are far ahead this year Of what
they were last. Mr.. Johnson says that
wheat will average about fifteen bushels
to the acre; barley from thirty to forty
bushels, and oats from forty to fifty
bushels. Flax is looking fine all over the
state.
Corn seems to be maturing very rap
idly and If the weather remains good
big crop may be expected. Mr.. John
son says that Beadle count yhas the
finest crop of corn in the state.
Last year the government crop report
stated that the yield Of wheat was about
twelve bushels to the acre, making an
aggregate yield of 43,973, 03s bushels for
the whole state. The present prospects
are that this amount will be increased
by over 100000 bushels The quality
of the wheat is exceptionally good. The
barley yield will be increased by over
100000 bushels. Corn acreage is about
the same as last year. The potato CROP
Is promising.
