department.
The photograph was secured Tor use
on the face of medal that was issued
at one of the government mints at that
time. Mr.. Prince says that he doesnot
think that Gen. Grant wore his whis-
kers in the manner shown in the photo
graph for more than a few weeks.
He shaved off his mustache and chin
whiskers because he was then suffering
from an irritation of the skin. Mrs.
Grant disliked his appearance in the
sideboards so much that the general
soon thereafter allowed his full beard
to grow again.

JAPAN ADMITS
MARCUS ISLAND
IS AMERICAS
State Department Receives Informa-
ton That Tokyo Government Dis
claims Sovereignty and Comedies
Fishermen Are Nomads.

II the news received by w. c. Pea
cock from Colonel Thomas Fitch in
the Peking's mail proves authentic, the
United States may again assume SOW
ereignty over Marcus Island, and the
Marcus Island Development Company
will take steps to further exploit the
resources of the much talked of island.
According to the information con-
yeyed to Senator Thurston by the State
Department at Washington Japan has
receded from her position in regard to
the islands and now comedies that the
Jap fishermen there are nomadic and
will deport them if the United States
government so requests. 1t is further
intimated that Japan is ready to pay
reasonable damages for the loss caused
by the refusal of the marines to allow
the Julia E. Whalen scientists to make
required examinations of the guano de-
posits.
The following extract from the letter
of Colonel Fitch, who, in company
with Senator Thurston, went to Wash
ing to present the matter to Secretary
Hay, tells the story:
"The Japanese government has dis
claimed sovereignty over Marcus Is
land. and comedies that the Jap fish
ermen there are nomadic.
"It will deport them, probably, if
our government insists upon it, and it
is willing to pay reasonable indem-
nifty to the amount of the actual dam
age done by excluding the Whalen and
crew, probably $4,000.
eIt will take several months to clear
everything through the diplomatic
channels. but the result is as stated.
"This decision was made by the I'M
perial Government in Tokyo a few
weeks ago, and was communicated by
the State Department to Senator
Thurston this morning"
The letter from Colonel Fitch TO Mr..
Peacock is dated at Washington, De-

cember Is, though the news dispatches
have brought no information concern
ing the matter.
Mr.. Peacock, when seen yesterday,
stated that the letter gave all the in
formation that he had CAS- to my fu-
ture plans,' said Mr.. Peacock, ''they
have not been determined upon as yet.
Nothing will be done until the return
of Mr.. Fitch from Washington. which
will be in about six weeks !.
Marcus Island was discovered by
,, Captain Rosehill, in 1889, but it was
only about year ago that the State
department recognized his claim to it
upon the filing of a $4,000 bond. The
Marcus Island Development Company
was organized to exploit the guano de-
posits of the island, with w. c. Pea
cock and Thomas Fitch as the princi-
pal. stockholders. Last July an expe-
dition was fitted up under command of
Captain Rosehin to visit the island
and, with the aid of two scientists,
ascertain the value and extent of the
guano deposits. Upon arrival off Mar
Gus Island, the little party was inter-
cepted by a detachment of marines
from the Japanese warship Kasag1,
and only few of the men were allowed
to land from tine " frafen- time
1t was impossible, therefore, to make
the necessary Investigations, and the
Julia E. Whalen returned to Honolulu,
and has since been sold to a company
which is now operating the schooner
between Hilo and Honolulu.
A claim was then made upon Japan
for damages for the action of its gov
ernment and placed in the hands of the
State Department at Washington. A
demand was also made upon the jap
anese government for the possession of
the island, in default of which, a lar1e
indemnity was asked. Though Colonel
Fitch does not so state in his letters,
the memorial of the Marcus island
company was probably turned over to
the Japanese minister by Secretary
Hay, with the result as noted in Mr..
Fitch's letter.
If Japan finally grants the demand of
the Honolulu people for the possession
of the island, steps will probably be
taken to develop the guano deposits.

CITY PLATFORM

OF the Grand Junction Democracy adopted
unanimously in convention March Ia, 1908:
The democratic party of the city If Grand
junction, IN convention assembled; do most
EN- phatically express their adherence to he
principles so long advocated by the party. of
the municipal ownership of public utilities,
and do pledge the party and the candidates
nominated by this convention, for the diff
ferent city offices, to the strict enforcement
OF said principle of municipal ownership.
And do further pledge the party and candi-
dates thereof to oppose the purchase for the
city's use of the present electric light sys-
tenn; to not purchase the old water system or
enter into my transaction with the defunct
Grand Junction Water Co., looking to the
payment of any claims said company may
pretend to possess against this city for hy-
drant rentals or otherwise. And that they
believe in and will advocate and sustain by
their votes the erection Of an entirely new
electric light system for the city's use
We point to the record of the republicans
who last occupied seats in the city council
as a strong argument against the election of
any member of that party; as it is a fact
well known that said aldermen tried to foist
upon the taxpayers of this city worn out
and useless waterworks that has since gone
out of business and become the prey of
many creditors.
We denounce the extravaganza of the re-
publican county administration; the partial
lty shown in the asses sment valuations: the
free hand given the county clerk who Is per

We strongly condemn the action of the
governor of this state In calling out the

tIcaly assist the mill owners in their fight
against the just demands of the- employees
aud thus endeavoeing to incite riot and an

the past three years; for the unanimous
stand taken upon the municipal owne ship
of public utilities, and for the unprejudice1
and unbiased pc stion it has taken always
upon all matters affecting the public inter

A FAILURE.
To The Editor of The Sentinel

To The Editor of The Sentinel
The Evening Post of San Francisco
says:
Nothing is more certain than that
up to the present time, municipal
government all over the United States
is "a failure. In cities it is one unend-
ing fai lure from Maine to California.
There is not large town in the coun-
try that is not infested with bosses.
Theorists agree as to the cause of
municipal mi government, but there
is no doubt that a large part of the
misgovernment is due to the spoils
system. -
The Cincinnati Times-Star says
''We have had taste of government
ownership right here in Cincinnati for
several weeks, and the flavor has not
yet gone from our mouths Our water
works have been run by an arm of the
government and have had so much
politics mixed in them that the screws
have twisted themselves from bolts,
and steel castings have warped until
the horrors of water famine, for
several days, stared the people in the
face
To the above L would add, that a
municipal department is always con-
trolled, not by business principles, but
by politics, synonym of rascality.
According to the principle of munich
pal ownership, the government has
perfect right to make soap, to manu-
facture clothing or to make peanut
candy, if it can make it cheaper than
private individuals. OF course, such
an idea as this could not be entertain
ed by anyone but the most pronounced
advocate of Capitalization in its worst
form. Have you ever noticed Mr.
Editor, the howl that goes up when
ever the government of this state pro-
poses to use cheap convict labor? And
for the benefit of the people at
large too. Why not apply the rule
to this question of municipal owner
ship?
