From Judge Seeds letter publish
ed in last weeks Press we learn
that the robberies ("irregularities"
theJudge terms them) in the post
office department at Washington,
are chargeable to the democrats, be-
cause, he says; under the system Of
conducting the business of the de-
partment, established by a demo-
cratic administration, it was posi-
BILE for thefts to be committed. That
system, the Judge says, is the one
under which we are now working"
It is evidently a good one, or it
would not have been adopted and
followed for SO many years, by the
republicans. But whether good or
bad, perfect or imperfect, is i'm
material, and the Judges defense
ofthieves Of his party is Of no force,
for5no system of business can be
planned. or law made SO perfect, as
to prevent thieves from stealing who
are. given the opportunity to do So
1t is some satisfaction to learn from
thesJudge, that "the amount of the
loot is not startling" that sby nc
computation has this amount aggre-
gated over one hundred and forty
thousand dollars, and he congratulates
his party, that SO far as is yet knovn
only ten republican officials have
been implicated in this, accord
ing to the Judge, insignificant
steal. How much has actual
ly been stolen, and the number en-
gagged in the looting Of this depart
ment, will probably never be known
(ats least, not until the republican
party is ousted from power) for the
Judges letter clearly indicates that
the managers of his party have is
sued orders to their henchmen, tc
lay the blame for the IRREGULAR
ties that have been uncovered onto
the democrats, although none Of
them is claimed to have occurred
under democratic administrations,
and to stop further investigations.
No blame for these thefts can
reasonably be laid to the democratic
'ssrty. Il took no part in them, on

Two civilians stepped from the spec

the long line were men from every
corner of the nation. Veterans who,
perhaps, had enlisted from Maine or
some other far away state wore the,
badges of western cfnmonwealths,l

fought to keep intact. OF all the states,
California excepted, the one that had
the largest number in line was I'LL

All the Delegations bore Emblsms.
Almost every delegation had its en-,

was something distinctive to each

EXIT WALKING DELEGATE.

The walking delegate, Sam. Parks,
local organ of treacherous Republicans
as the conqueror of the conservative
union leader, Buchanan, by whom in
fact he was ANONYMOUSLY defeated at
Kansas City, has gone back to Sing
Sing for thirty months with the pros
pect also of serving out his former
sentence.
The last instance of his successive
extortions was less productive than
esting. Parks fined the Tiffany Studio
Company five hundred dollars. The
treasurer, Schmidt, asked him whether
or no the money would go to the labor
union, and received the answer: ut
goes to Parks But" Schmidt re-
piled, "the union men will kick" The
retort was prompt and decisive: ST
have got those - muZzled, and, If
one of them objects, we will fine him
hlly uO1IdIS anu ne Cali / get duOtASi
job In the city"
The money was paid, and, the next
morning, the strikers resumed work.
These facts were all sworn to at the
trial of Parks, and were only a trifiing
instance of system of extortion from
employers and of peculation from the
unions that he had impudently prac-
tised for years.
The intelligent and industrious wage
earners who have been thus abused
welcome revelations and convictions
that have broken the power of the
walking delegates. They propose to
control reorganized unions, which will
be limited to useful ends, pursued by
lawful and honest methods, and in
fiuential newspapers are prognosticat-
ing restoration of harmony between
capital and labor that will not be long
deferred.

THE SITUATION IN PANAMA.

European newspapers and anti-1m-
perialists in the United States are
probably roundly denouncing the
United States for it's action at Panama.
Possibly some papers have gone to the
extent of writing of Secretary Hay and
President Roosevelt as pirates ane
"fllibusterers" but America has certain
rights on the Isthnus of Panama,
which permit her to do many things
there that people unfamiliar with that
document might regard as high handed
measures.
President Roosevelt has evidently been
well acquainted with the preparations
which have been going on at Panama
and Colon ever since last July, for a
war against the government Of Colon
bia. An enormous number of arms
and much ammunition has been re-
Gently smuggled into Panama. For
years every Colombian has been SUD-
piled with a rifle and ammunition and
: this late importation alone should con-
vince anyone that something OF
momentous nature was impending.
Many Venezuelans and adventures
from all parts of Central America and
from Venezuela have fiocked to Pana-
ma and Colon. The firing of a shot
would set off a revolution which might
needlessly destroy manly lives. The in
terests of Panama are in the main dis
similar to those of the main portion
of Colombia on the South American
continent.
over half a century ago our govern
ment became responsible for the main
Isthmus In 1916 the United States
made treaty with New Granada, now
Colombia, in which it was provided, in
the thirty-ffth article, that the right
of transit over the Isthmus should
be open and free to the Government
and citizens of the United States" and
the United States at the same time
guaranteed the neutrality of the 18TH
mus and agreed to protect it from for
eign aggression. Should a great civil
war occur there and the Colombian
government be worsted new govern
ment would rise to power which might
say: "The Republic of Colombia is no
more, this new government has nothing
to do with the old treaty" In this way
American interests in the Isthmus
might be greatly imperilled. The Uni
ted States now steps in with her
marines to prevent just such a happen
ing and at the same time is ready to
enforce the old treaty rights if a new
government takes charge of the ter
ritory affected by the treaty.

A CORRECTION.

In a recent issue of the Advertiser
among its Geographic dispatches, was
an item to the effect that John L. Phil
lips, Mayor of Springfield, ILL.,, had
been indicted for pialfeasance in office.
1t has since come to the knowledge
of the Advertiser that the malfeasance
charged did not occur until Mr.. Phil
lips had retired from office and that it
is his successor who has been indicted
and not Mr.. Phillips.
We regret the occurrence of the mis-
take and any annoyance it may have
caused Mr.. Phillips.

Emancipation of Woman

Within the last few months there
have appeared in the daily papers
throughout the country numerous ac-
counts of young women resenting in
suits of the opposite sex in a masculine
style that is to be highly commended.
Women are beginning to realize their
own powers. They are beginning to
know themselves more thoroughly.
They are drifting fast from the weak
ness and delicate sensitiveness which
in the past was supposed to have been
a part of their nature.
The Athletic woman has now come to
the fore. She is popular. She is adj
mired and sought after by the more
desirable marriageable men. Men are
beginning to realize that marriage
means the building of a home, and
when they become thus seriously in
clined, and understand that in selecting
wife they are also selecting the moth
er of their children, strength and health
and other womanly characteristics as
sumo vast Importance.
The physical culture wave that is
now sweeping America Is beginning to
fan Hawaii. 1t will teach women the
true value Of the powers they should
possess. Physical culture in the form
Of athletics and gymnastics, will soon
enable her to closely approach her
brother in strength and agility. Any
one can readily imagine the value to
the future of the race of all this physi-
cal vigor.
There is at present a crying need for
healthy, sturdy mothers. The next gen.
Grafton of Honolulu will marvel at
humanity being so perverse as to find
anything admirable in a delicate sickly
body. Any woman, no matter what her
age might be, can regain her strength
and vitality by attending the Woods
institute. My pupils are getting strong
er every day.

TRADE GAINING IN JAPAN.

Imports into Japan from the United
| States for the first time exceed those
| from the United Kingdom. In the six
months ending with June, 1903, the i'm
ports into Japan from the United
States were 24,950. 49S yen, against 2S,-
| sos, $50 from the United Kingdom. This
is the first annual or semi-annual pc
riod in which the imports from the
United States into Japan have ex-
| ceeded those of the Uniteu Kingdom.
In 1891 the imports into Japan from the
United States were less than two mil
lion yen, against more than sixteen
millions from the United Kingdom; in
1901. from the United States little less
than seven million yen, against twenty
millions from the United Kingdom; in
1900, sixty-two million yen from the
United States, against seventy-one mil
and 1902, following the increase in
the japanese tariff, the total imports
into that country showed a consider
able reduction, and as a consequence
the imports from the United States in
1902 were but 1852, S24 yen, against
so, ,O29 yen from the United King
dom. In the six months ending with
June, 1903, the imports from the United
States were 1850, 400 yen, against 49,
hn
In 1881 the United States furnished
less than six per cent of the imports
into Japan and the United Kingdom
furnished over fifty-two per cent. In
1902 the United States furnished 17.9
per cent of the total imports and the
United Kingdom 1876 per cent, while in
the six months ending with June, 1908,
the United States supplied Is per cent
of the imports into Japan and the
United Kingdom 14.3 per cent.
One cause of the reduction in imports
from the United States into Japan
is in recent years buying more largely
of her raw cotton from India. The
total value of imports into Japan from
India has grown from less than eight
million yen in 1892 to forty mine million
yen in 1902, and in the six months end
ing with June, 1903, was 3969O,954 yen.
The importations Of ginned cotton into
Japan from the United States amount
ed in 1900 to 1,112,S34 piculs and in 1902
to 73a,S00 piculs, while from India the
imports of ginned cotton in 1900 were
739,073 piculs and in 1902, 1,76S, 1S9
piculs. The W. lue of imports of raw
cotton from the United States in 1900
was twenty-seven million yen and in
1902 nineteen million yen, while that
from India was, in 1900, seventeen mil
lion yen, and in 1902, thirty-nine mil
lion yen.
This partial transfer of the cotton
trade of Japan from the United States
to India accounts for the fact that the
percentage which the United States
supplied of the total imports Of Japan
in 1902 and the first half of 1903 was
less than in 1900, in which year we
supplied 21.96 per cent of the total
imports of Japan.

would be putting it far too mildly.
The fierce charge from the northward

across the level fats, had been pushed
so close that two red braves and
half dozen ponies had met their
death within 60 PAGES of the rifle pits.
There lay the bodies now, and the
Indians dare not attempt to reach
them. The dread. wind-driven flame
of the prairie fire, planned by the
Sioux to burn out the defense, to
serve, as their ally, had been turned
to their grave detriment. Ray and
his devoted men had stopped the
