Senator Dubois Repudiatss Bryan.

U. S. Senator Fred T, Dubois has made
another switch. This time he abandons
William Jennings Bryan and declares for
a new leader and new issues. special
from Washington to the Salt Lake Trib-
une, dated April 8, b'ipgs the news. 1t
says:
United States Senator Fred T. Dubois
of Idaho has made statement to eastern
papers regarding his preferences for the
national political campaign of 1905. which
ought to be fairly good reading to the few
democrats and people of that kind in the
state known as the Gem of the Mountains.
Senator Dubois has come out for Alton B.
Parker for president and BENJAMIN r.
Shively for vice-president. His constit-
uents will doubtless wonder who these
men are. They are known 40 be familiar
with the names of Bryan, Hill, Cleveland
and German and even with Harrison of
Chicago and Johnson of Ohio but it is
doubtful if one in twenty of them have
ever heard of Parker and Shively
In order that they may form an intelli-
gent opinion of the men whom their To-
cal leader has chosen for them to follow,
The Tribune Bureau can say from infor-
nation at hand that Alton B. Parker is
Judge or the court of appeals of New
York, and that Benjamin Shively lives in
Indiana. The latter was member of
congress some ten years ago and his name
was mentioned prominently for the vice
presidency when BRYAN was nominated
in 1896.
In an interview Senator Dubois sal d:
"Mr. Bryan's friends are just as much
devoted to him now as they ever were,
but they, as well as he, recognize that
new issues have come to the fore. These
issues have been made by events and not
by men. Issues are the products of Prov
idence and not the works of politicians or
statesman.
81 think the democrats in the next
campaign concluded Mr.. Dubois, twill
advocate the remodeling of our tariff
system. The law now on the statute
books is unjust No man who is posted
controverts the fact that many Of our
products are being sold abroad at price
below that commanded at home.
1--WE should not reduce our duties too
much because we are face to face with
enormous expenditures annually, and
great proportion of the revenue collected
at our custom houses is required"

Railroads Rumors

There are railroad rumors, rail-
road reports, railroad talk and rail-
road assertions, and the most tan
gible of these is that James J. Hill
has an option to buy the P. & /.
NJ. which is only a report which is
not traceable TO any authentic or
igin. The only things distinctly
clear at present are that through
this section is the natural way for
the Northern Pacific to reach the
coast, that indications are that the
road will he built soon, and that
when it is somewhere in This i'm
mediate vicinity there will be a
mighty good town.

They Seek the Fraction Of Second

A scientific search for lost fraction OF
a second which has just been started by
Frenchmeu makes the hunt for the pro-
verbal stray needle in the haystack look
like mere child's play. But this work
which Parisians have undertaken will in
terest the whole world. 1t is remarkable
evidence which demonstrates to what a
fine point scientific research has been re-
duced. If one grain of sand on the shore
of the ocean were lost, and scientists
were to spend years in trying to find it,
they would be attempting task resem-
bling that to which the leading astron-
omers OF England and France are now
devoting themselves. One-sixteenth of a
second is missing, and no one can tell
where it has gone. Between the suns
time, as recorded al Greenwich, and as
and seemingly unimportant discrepancy.
No expense is being spared to trace the
missing fraction. A special building has
been erected at Paris, costly instruments
installed, a corps of mathematicians en-
gagged, and process that may take years
to complete has been commenced, The
inaccuracy is more important than will
appear to the lay mind. Longitude is
calculated on the basis Of Greenwich time.
II determines the boundaries of many
countries. A slight variation of time
may change the nationality of thousands
of people. The pursuit Of the missing
fraction of second Is, therefore, OF
worldwide importance. When it is
found, not grain of the sands OF time
will be missing J

Recommended for Atty..G.a. OF Porto Rio

Senator Hepburn has recommended
Willis Sweet of Idaho for the position of
attorney general of Porto Rico. 1t is
probable that the appointment will be
made soon, though it is hardly expected
that the president can act before his re-
turn from his trip. Senators Proctor of
Vermont and Mitchell Of Oregon, and ex,
Senator Shoup of Idaho had previously
filed papers Endorsing Sweet for judi
cisl position in the Philippines. These
Endorsements may help to expedite the
present appointment.
Willis Sweet Of Moscow was born at
Alburgh Springs, VT, January 7. 1886;
was educated in the common schools aud
attended the Nebraska university three
years; learned the printers trade at Lin
coin, Neb.; located at Moscow, Idaho, in
September, 1881, where he engaged in
the practice of law; was appointed United

workingmen than anything else
that has recently occurred. 1t is
the formation of independent" la
Dor organizations, each having
distinguishing title, as The In
dependent American Mechanics
Union, an Indiana organization,
and The Iudepe ndeut Labor
League of America" New York
Union. The first step taken by
these independent unions was to
become incorporated, thus making
themselves legally responsible bod.
les, against which the judgments
and DEGREES of the regularly con
stituted civil courts can be en-
forced. This places the union, or
aggregation of labor, on the same
plane as the corporation, or aggre-
cation of capital, and is a most i'm
portant step which the old line
unions have refused to take.
The articles of incorporation and
constitutions of the independent
unions are practically ident cal,
and contain the following provis-
ions: Obiect-To encourage in
dustry, economy, thr # and hon
esty among members; maintain
amiacable relations between en-
ployees and employers; assist indi-
vidual members in obtaining the
highest wages consistent with the
general good of all concerned; pro-
mote all forms of productive in
dustry and increase the employ
ment of labor at good wages; pre-
vent unjust and unreasonable dis.
elimination against members by
any person, combination, or con,
spiracy to prevent such members
from securing employment in any
branch of industry, and to protect
and defend members against any
and all attempts by any person or
combination of persons to abridge
the inalienable right OF all man.
kind to work for such wages as
shall be mutually satisfactory to
the individual workman and his
employer. This is certainly dec
laration of independence which is
likely to cause something of rev.
olution in labor organization. 1t
is directed equally against the
tyrany of unionism, and the OPP
preston and injustice of the en-
ployers, 1t is believed that this
movement will spread, it appeals
with peculiar force to the great
majority of wage earners. 1t is
well known that but a small pro.
portion of the workingmen of this
country is now enrolled In the
membership Of unions, and if those
who are outside of the unions shall
be taken with this independent
movement, the old line organiza-
tions will be forced TO keep step
with the new organizations or go
to the wall.

sale" 1t is understood the reason for
this Is that there have been too many
callers to look over the ranch.
There is a romance in the Norris
ranch and its many visitors and their
experiences with the aged and peculiar
man whose home it has been for many
years. Col. Norris is nothing If not
self contained and he not only holds
onto what he has but does so in way
which has not endeared him TO the
neighbors or those who would do busi-
ness with him. It is told Of him that
when a cattle purchaser visited the
Kahuku Ranch for the purpose of buy
ing stock, the dealer indicated the cat
tie that he wanted, to be met by the
Colonel with the emphatic declaration
that he would take just what were Of
fered to him or none and upon pro-
test being made the dealer was driven
OFF the ranch without any cattle 20
show for his visit. 1t is presumed the
visitors 'on purchase bent have similar
.ly tried his nerves.
The ranch has been in the hands OF
Morgan for sale for a long time, and
the very fact that Col. Norris was will
ing TO consider an offer becoming
known meant that he was surrounded
by agents and would-be purchasers,
and deluged as well by mail from those
who wished to get chance to offer the
ranch. Finally the visits of those who
wished to see the property became too
frequent for the Colonel, and he decid-
ed that he would withdraw the ranch
from the market and as well take him.
self out of the ranks of those who
might be invaded by lockers over at
any time.
The ranch is really great stretch
of country, similar in many respects
TO the Olaa country of the other side
of the island, and. it is much sought
now for its good pasturage. 1t is said
that the difference between Col Norris
and would-be buyers has been to put
it in nutshell, that the seekers wanted
to buy the cattle and have the ranch
thrown in, while the Colonel wants to
sell the ranch and throw in the cattle.
1t is thought that Col Norris will stick
to his decision to keep out of the mar
ket for some time now.

! has already been paid the amount OF
the Judgment.
] A jury in the United States Court
fixed the value of the Honolulu Planta-
tion leases at sos. 900 which the govern
ment refused to accept, claiming it to
be excessive and out of all proportion
to the value of the leases. Then Judge
Estee took the matter out of the jury's
hands and fixed the valuation at SIS. 900
conditional upon it's acceptance by the
defendant. When the Honolulu Plan
tation Co., refused this valuation the
court granted a new trial, but the re-
suit was no better as far as the Navy
Department was concerned for the jury
fixed the valuation at $10S.O From
this an appeal was taken to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals. though in the
meantime Admiral Merry had reached
an agreement with the plantation. The
terms OF this compromise We're never
made public, but it is understood that
900 and the grant of certain conditions
TO the plantation as to the use of
wharves. waterfront, etc. The COM
promise, though approved here, by Ad-
miral Merry and Acting United States
Attorney Dunno was not accepted at
Washington by the Navy Department.
The objections were to the giving OF
certain privileges to the Honolulu Plan
tation though the valuation was ac-
cepted as satisfactory. The main OBJ
stacle in the way of approval was the
then pending appeal in the Bishop Es-
tate case which first would have to be
settled. and as there was nc time to
be gained by accepting the compromise.
it was rejected by the Secretary of the
Navy.
The withdrawal of the appeal in the
Bishop Estate case, which involved the
title to the fee, and the reversal Of the
Judgment of Judge Estee in the Homo
lulu case has opened the way TO fur
ther negotiations for the amicahle set
tlement of the whole matter. The ap-
pellate court has upheld the doctrine
of the defendants right TO jury trial,
and the United States officials, here al
least, are convinced that no jury could
