TRYING TO STEM THE TIDE.

After the Michigan papers had about exhausted themselves. in an effort to stop the flow of money from that local. fly to the Warren Mining district, the Boston Journal takes its cue and comes out with the opinion that the Lake people are getting over their
 Arizona Speculation Craze" and aads: The Higgins Development fota- tion has been so thoroughly unhealthy mat 1t has given a warning that they are likely to heed"
 The Higgins movement has been singularly free from any unhealthy symptoms and those most deeply in serested in the fiotation are deter mined to keep it free so far as is pos. sible. The Journal adds that there is a disposition to sell the Arizona stocks and to put the money back into Lake propositions, but this is vigorously de nied by the Houghton Mining Gazette, which says:
 The Lake has done very well in its Arizona mining venture to date and is stll averse to placing all it's shekels again in the hands of Boston unre- sevedly- Meanwhile the period of in- activity on the Boston stock market may convey its lesson to interests there which have looked upon this part of the country as a very profitable milch COW and have done little or nothing to develop the interests upon which they have lived. There are notable exceptions among Boston brokerage houses. as all the world knows, and for these exceptions the Lake is profound iy grateful. but the tone of too many brokers and too many Boston newspa- pers has been far fyom compliment ary 10 those who have been responsi. ble for the good things" which has been so freely furnished by Lake pa. 1rons heretofore"
 If 1t is true, as the Boston Journal in inmates, that the Lake people are anI. ions to sell their Warren district stocks. the Review can assure them that they will not lack for buyers When these companes were organ ized, the Bisbee investor was shut out It was good thing, and Michigan friends and acquaintances had to be taken care of first.

Americans have invested over S500,- C00,00o in Mexico. which amount is distributed throughout the entire re- public and is represented in nearly every business. Eighty per cent of the railroads of Mexico are owned or con trolled by Americans and are worked to a great extent by American labor. Tropical agriculture is being conducted by our people in many places at an immense profit, while mines. cattle ranches and manufactures, which are earning fortunes for our people, can be counted by the hundred. Surely the commercial conquest Of Mexico by the UEiJsd States is cnly a ques- ton of few years, and the person who fits himself for transacting bus. mess in the republic and gets on the ground floor will make no mistake.

The Bisbee Review is still harping on Editor Newett and Iron Ore and ahe Knocking" which it alleges both are 5cing on the Warren district in Arizona and claims that Newett's chief efforts are made against the Copper Glance. We have been careful readers of Iron Ore articles upon the Bisbee fed and. while the paper has been se- were upon some alleged mis-statements in rgard to Copper Glance, we have seen no expression in it which has knocked" that property as the Bisbee raper alleges. The Ore has invariably expressed the hope that Copper Glance would strike the body of ore it is seeking. but has objected to misrep- resentation in regard to the property. something which no right-thinking man or editor should object to- Houghton hin.

ONE OF THE WARM coRPsHs.

Everywhere, simultaneously. the re- publican newspapers are energetically and joyfully declaring that the Iowa idea Is dead If the idea is dead. what is the occasion of all this pre- concerted activity and noise? Ordi- narily ideas are supposed to live in utterance; and political ideas usually thrive on publicity. Dead ideas are generally those which we do not re- member.
 It is an offspring of another re- markable dead one"-the tariff issue, which the republicans have been so assiduously burying during the past year or so. The trouble with this de. ceased seems to be that it won't stay buried.
 The peculiar circumstances sur rounding the Iowa ideas birth afford an explanation of the joyful demon strations over its supposed death. It was not a legitimate offspring. The party-those in control of the ma. chinery, to all outward appearances had espoused the tariff-reyision senti. ment prior to last fall. After the election. however, it developed that the espousal had been merely tenta- tive. The party declined to legalize the relationship, and denounced tariff revision in presidential messages. stump speeches and elsewhere. But the union had borne fruit. The lit. tie Iowa idea was repudiated, of course not being legitimate republicanism.
 Naturally the rejected infant gained friends. How the little one has grown. What has killed it? How was the death" administered; There was a republican resolution which con- tained, among other things, this clause: We favor any modification of the tariff schedules that may be re- quired to prevent their affording a shelter to monopoly"
 President Roosevelt is said to have characterized this clause as 'tactless phraseology. In truth, it does seem to have been a careless prescription. made up of death and life" "bane and antidote." The lively corpse will wax fat on just such, doses. ..'
 What is the use of declaring against tariff revision as these republicans in Iowa did, and then further declaring that we favor any modification" which shall prevent the tariffs afford ing any shelter to monopoly" Es- pecially when every man, north, south, east and west. republican or democrat, knows that upwards of 267 of the big industrials trusts are directly fed and fostered by the tariff-the trusts which supply our daily necessaries.
 These republicans by their death dealing resolution have impliedly ad- mitted what all men know. And the republican press is not blind to the significance of the admission, but is evidently blind to the fact that its main chance and its best service for 1904 consists not in attempting to de- Jude the party rank and file, but in preparing the party managers to re- ceiye the Iowa idea For the idea must be met. welcomed as a principle of truth dear to the masses. or rejected as inimical to the privileged interests close to the machine.

investigating Committee Says There
Was No Attempt to Bride.
Springfield, H., May 1.-The com.
mittee appointed to investigate char
ges of bribery in the Illinois legisla.
ture submitted final report to the
house last night.
The report states that the commit.
tee is unanimous as to the following
conclusions:
First, that the evidence produced
before us does not establish any real
attempt to corrupt the action of the
speaker of this house.
Second, that there was no reason
able or substantial ground for the edi.
torial DOODLE published in the Chi.
cago Inter Ocean on April 81, 1903, and
that the charges therein contained
and as specified further in the testi'
mony of Mr. Human, were wholly
without truth or foundation as to any
member or officer of this house, SC
far as we have been able to discover"
During the reading of the report
not sound was heard, notwithstand
ing the fact that the lobby and gal
leries were crowded with spectators
who had been drawn to the house in
anticipation of a repetition Of the
riotous proceedings of last week. Up
on the question of the adoption of the
report, there was a roll call.
The report was adopted without a
dissenting voice. The house also
unanimously adopted vote of thanks
to the investigating committee for the
satisfactory manner in which it had
performed its duty.
The rules were then quickly sus
pended on a viva voce vote and the
Mueller bill, the traction measure
which had been antagoniZed by Speak
er Miller, was ordered to be brought
before the house for immediate con.
sideration. In a fierce debate, op
ponents of the bill charged that the
Mueller law would carry with it a
grant of control for forty-five years
to street railway companies. An
amendment offered by friends Of the
bill was adopted limiting all grants
under the bill to twenty years.

RUSSIA is CLIMBING DOWN.
Explains Manchuria Attitude Was
Misunderstood.

Washington, April 30.-The state
department received a dispatch from
Ambassador Mccormick at st. Peters
burg, to the effect that the Russian
minister for foreign affairs, has as
sured him that the published reports
of the proposed convention between
Russia and China relating to Man
churia are absolutely incorrect and
that there is no foundation for the re
port that Russia demands that China
shall refuse the request Of other
powers for treaty ports and consulates
in Manchuria. He has been assured
that the Russian government has nc
intention to exclude other countries
from advantages now enjoyed in Man
churia or to confer exclusive privileges
upon Russians; that the United States
may be sure that nothing will be done
to close doors now open and that
American commerce and American
capital are those which Russia most
desires to attract. 1t is understood
also that similar assurances were re
ceived by the secretary of state from
his excellency, the Russian ambassa
DOR
Sir Michael Herbert, the British
ambassador, called on Secretary Hay
yesterday and was acquainted with
the nature of the report made by Mr.
Mccormick, and it is presumed that
he had similar advices from his Owl
government. Baron Won SIernberg
the German minister, in company with
Baron Scheller, the new secretary
of the German embassy, also called al
the state department, and he likewise
was advised of the latest develop
ments in the case.
These advices have done much tC
remove the feeling of anxiety and ap
prehension which was aroused IL
Washington by the first reports from
Pekin of Russia's intention to domi
nate Manchuria. The officials are
glad to take the Russian disclaime,
just as it comes, without stopping tc
raise any point as to whether there
has not really been a complete change
in the Russian demands rather thar
an error in the original statemen;

/ thought 10 highly important that set
tiers should be kept out OF the Ohio
valley in the interest OF the fur com,
panies. SO after we had become ma,
ton many good people of the Atlantic
coast felt grave apprehension lest they
might somehow be hurt by the west
ward growth of the nation.
Build Up States.
Over by far the major part Of the
territory, however our people spread
In such numbers during the course OF
the nineteenth century that we were
able to build up state after state, each
with exactly the same complete local
independence in all matters affecting
purely its own domestic interests as
In any OF the original thirteen states
each owing the same absolute fealty
TO the Union of all the states which
each OF the original. thirteen states
also owes-and finally each having the
same proportional right to its share in
shaping and directing the common
policy of the Union which is possessed
by any other state, whether Of the
original thirteen or not.
Process Is Original.
This process now seems to US part
Of the natural order of things, but 1t
was wholly unknown until our own
people devised it. 1t seems to us
mere matter of course, matter OF
elementary right and justice. that in
the deliberations of the national rep
reseatatfye bodies the representatives
OF state which came into the Union
put yesterday stand on a footing OF
exact and entire equality with those
OF the commonwealth whose sons
once signed the declaration Of indie
pendence.
This, then, is the great historic sig.
nificance of the movement of CONT
mental expansion in which the Louisi
ana purchase was the most striking
single achievement. It stands out in
marked relief even among the feats
Of a nation of pioneers, a nation
whose people have from the beginning
been picked out by process of nat
ural selection from among the most
enterprising individuals Of the nations
OF western Europe.
Tribute to Pioneers.
"The old pioneer days are gone
with their roughness and their hard
ships, their incredible toll and their
wild, half-savage romance. But the
need for the pioneer virtues remains
the same as ever. The peculiar from
tier conditions have vanished; but the
manliness and stalwart hardihood Of
the frontiersmen can be given even
freer scope under the conditions sur
rounding the complex industrialism OF
the present day. -a.
"The old days were great because
the men who lived in them had mighty
qualities; and we must make the new
days great by showing these same
qualities. We must insist upon cour
age and resolution, upon hardwood
tenacity and fertility in resource; we
must insist upon the strong virile vir
tues; and we must insist no less upon
the virtues of self-restraint, selfmas
terry, regard for the rights Of others;
we must show our adherence Of cru
