He Makes Direct Statement that News
Paid Expenses to st. Louis.

Probably the most interesting feature of
the Stahl trial was the testimony of James
w. Noel, attorney for the Council commit
tee investigating the city's sweeping and
sprinkling contracts.
The direct examination by Mr. Span re-
suited as follows:
Question.-Your full name is James w.
Noel? Answer.-Yes, sir.
Q.-You are an attorney practicing law
at the bar? Ayes, sir.
Q.-And you were employed especially to
conduct the investigation before the Coun-
Gil committee concerning some matters that
came up before that committee? Ayes,
sir.
Q.-At the time when you began that
investigation you were a personal friend of
Mr.. Logsdon? Ayes. SIR.
Q.-Beneved in his integrity? Ayes sir;
at that time l believed in Mr.. Logsdon' 5
integrity and so expressed myself to many
gentlemen.
tQ:-You and will get along better if you
ask you If within few days you did not,
since the arrest of Mr.. Stahl. say to Mr.
Expert. the gentleman who was upon the
witness stand, that Mr.. Logsdon was as
straight as string? A.-No, sir; did not
use that expression.
Dwell. leave the string out what did
you say? Ado you want me to give the
OIL want you to give what you said
about Mr.. Logsdon's character. Al said
to Mr.. Wynne, Mr.. Expert and Mr. Shea
that at the time the investigation COM
menced l believed in Mr.. Logsdon's integ-
rity; that ar that time 1 believed he was
as straight as a string, and that / had
conducted that investigation with view
either TO his vindication OF the charges or
his conviction. / said further that when /
commenced the Investigation i put all my
friends behind me and conducted il in a
purely professional manner.
Q.-The point i am trying to get at is,
didn't you use the statement in the present
tense at the time you were talking 10 Ep-
pert, and say that he Is now, didn't you
say, 81 consider him now as straight as a
string" and. II have no evidence against
him. Al am sure I did not: and IL I
did IL was a lapse OF the tongue that would
be inexplicable on my part.
Q.-You are satisfied II was not a slip of
the brain? Al am satisfied IL was not a
slip of the brain and am satisfied I told
those gentlemen the investigation was not
yet through.

effect? A.-No. sir. on the contrary

r14Ius COLLECTIONS AND roUCHERs.

CLAIMS COLLECTIONS AND TOUCHBRS-
Some curious utterances have been mace, or
are reported to have been made, by the GerLhah
press in discussing the Venezuelan emprohmenl
and the bearings thereon OF the Monroe Doo
trine: and in some quarters there seems 10 nav e
been renewed attempt to saddle the Unlteu
States with moral and legal responsibility Ior
the doings and debts of its Southern nelghbors
Thus the usually conservative and fhousnttul
"Vossische Zeitung'' is reported as saying:
Whoever has a claim against another tr1es 10
collect it. whether they be private lnolVluuais
"or nations. If anybody disputes our rlght 10
compel payment we must ask that person II he
'be willing to pay the DEBT hlmseh OF u give
guarantees therefor
Yes. and no. "As with individuals, so with
nations practically declares the 'Fosslsche
Zeitung." Well, if an individual, say in Berlin
has n claim against another individual he IN
doubtedly tries to collect it. At any rate, ne
has right to do so. But he does so by lawful
means He first proves the validity OF MS
claim. and then moves against the debtor oy
civil process Let us suppose that instead OF so
doing he should, without establishing the valld
ity of his demands, rush violently upon MS
debtor, knock his head against the wall, SMASH
some of his glass and china and settle nlmsell
in his front parlor with the intention of camp
ing there until the claim was paid. We are in
clined to think the police and the judges would
quickly interfere and the rambustious claimant
would find himself suddenly transformed into
defendant. If. then, he should demand OF the
police and judges that, since they would not let
him collect his claims in such fashlon as
pleased him, they should themselves pay the
claims or give guarantees therefor, he would be
hooted down with more than Olympian derlslon
The Monroe Doctrine does not forbid the col
lection of valid claims by lawful methods. IL
it forbids political oppression or territorial con-
fiscations as means of satisfying claims of un-
proved valdity-or of proved validity, either
it does not therefore impose upon the United
States the obligation Of paying or guaranteeing
those claims. We do not say the analogy be-
tween individuals and nations is entirely per-
feet But, since the ''Vossische Zeitung has
invoked it. it is we'll to observe that even to
the extent to which that journal seeks to apply
it to the case in hand it utterly fails to serve
its purpose, but, on the contrary, exactly vind-
Gates the attitude of the United States.
New-York tribune., 1903-01-06
THE RUSSIAN SUGAR BOUNTT.

The Supreme Court of the United States has
decided the Russian sugar case In accordance
with all intelligent expectation. and in accord
ance. we unhesitatingly believe, with the letter
of the law and with the spirit of justice. 1t
has decided that the Russian Government prac-
ticaIIy pays an export bounty sugar, and
that therefore it was lawful to impose a coun-
tervaling duty upon Russian sugar when i'm
ported into the United States. That is precisely
the view which we have taken In these columns
from the beginning of the controversy, and
which we have frequently expressed There
We're il will be remembered those who thought
differently, who thought the United States was
treating Russia unjustly, and was provoking a
tariff war with that country which would prove
ruinous to our foreign commerce. 1t was even
hinted that some other power had inveigled
this country into adopting the course it did for
the sake Of using the United States a cats
paw against Russia. There were some who
went so far to urge that it really did not
matter whether Russia did did not pay a
bounty: the United States. for the sake of Rus
sian good will and Russian trade ought 70 over
LOOK it and waive the eountervaling duty.
All such utterances seemed TO us deplorably
iniudicious. and it is gratifying TO see them
properly rebuked by the highest judicial tribu-
nal in the land. Russia says the Supreme
Court, does pay what is in effect bounty, and
therefore the countervailing duty is lawful
To that there is an obvious corollary-namely,
that the countervailing duty is not only lawful
but necessary. 1t not only may be, but must
be imposed, unless We are ready TO incur the
gravest commercial troubles with other lands
For If. as some urged we should overlook Rus
sia's bounty, what should we be able 10 say TO
Germany? We should nave either to overlook
GerInany's bounty and waive the countervail-
ing duty on her sugar, too, or else lay ourselves
open TO reprisais and tariff war with one OF
the best customers we have In the world. This
decision therefore vindicates the discretion as
well as the strict legality of the Baltimore col
lector's action. and of the supporting action of
the Secretary of the Treasury, and shows that
the adoption Of any other course would have

ONE DAYS ROORB4CKS.

1t was plausibly reported that Governor Odell
had announced that he was under contract to
assume the presidency of a twenty million con-
Germ at the end of his present term; and it was
added that this concern was the Pacific Mail
The Associated Press now announces that the
Governor declares the story "a deliberate false
hood" He continues: 1.-The only contract |
have is with the people of the State of New
York to serve them for two years, and that
propose to do to the best of my ability.
1t was plausibly reported that President Cas-
tro of Venezuela had abdicated his Office. The
Associated Press cables from Caracas that the
report is untrue, that Castro doesn't knew he
has abdicated and laughs at the idea.
1t was plausibly reported also that the rebels
in Venezuela had defeated the government
forces about eight miles from Caracas. The As
sociated Press now cables from Caracas that
there is no truth in the report
Washington was attempting last night to set
afioat story that Governor Ode under some
sudden stress of political conditions, was about
hurrying away from the State capital and the
legislature down to the national capital. The
dispatches from Albany show that this story
also is absolutely without foundation.
