The Badgers Digging Ability.

The sportsman naturalist. st. John,
one day found a badger in trap not
much injured. Tying a rope to its hind
leg, he drove the animal home-strange
to say, the captive beast jogging stead
lily along in front Of him and giving
little more trouble than a pig going to
market. On reaching home the animal
was put for the night into a paved
court, where it seemed perfectly secure.
Next morning" said st. John, ''he was
gone. having displaced a stone that I
thought him quite incapable of moving,
and then. digging under the wall, he
got away"

Witnesses Testify Against Command
ing General of Colorado National
Guard.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 20.-The gen
eral court-martial sitting at the state
capitol to try members of the state ma
tional guard Of Colorado, resumed it's
sitting today. Witnesses were sworn
by the prosecution in the case of Brig.
Gen. John Chase, who had been the
commander of the guard, and is ac-
cused of perjury, disobedience of or
ders of the commander in-chief, Gov.
peabody, and usurpation of power.
Among these witnesses were Adjt. Gen.
Sherman Bell.
A. Grant, clerk of court of Teller
county testified as to the proceedings
in the habeas corpus in the case of ".
E. Davis, confined in the military
prison at Cripple Creek. Upon the
recommendation made by Gen. Chase
to the effect that Davis had been re-
leased the present charge is based.
Private Frank McElroy was called,
but did not respond. Judge Advocate
Greer requested that an attachment be
issued for him and that he be brought
forward
Judge Advocate asked that the per-
jury charge be passed for the present,
because of the absence of McElrOy, and
the disobedience charge taken up.
The defense objected and the court
took a recess to consider the motion of
the judge advocate.

MUKDEN TREATY
0FFENDS RUSSIANS
Claim Policy of United States
lnfrlnges the Rights of
Russia.

CHE FOO. Oct. 20.-The Russians
are very indignant with the United
states government for concluding a
treaty for opening Mukden to the COM
merce of the world. They say that the
81 Petersberg- government will protest
ana maintain that the opening of this
new treaty port will never take place.
The Port Arthur Russian newspaper,
Novoe krai, has published a strongly
Wofded article on this subject. 1t de-
clares that the treaty is proof of the
aggressive nature of the policy of the
United States
This policy, the paper declares, in
fringes the rights of Russia founded on
her construction of the Manchurian
railway and the concession by China
to Russia of the sole commercial ex-
ploitation of Manchuria.
The Russian fleet has returned from
Dalny- The garrison there and 10000
Chinese laborers are building barracks
for over 10000 men. The defenses. to
the north of Talien Wan are being
strengthened.

IS IT THREE OF A KIND?

Mr.. H. C. Schurmeier says that Mr..
George E. Lennon is after him with a
suit for $1,50O because the owl car
ordinance has not been repealed, &C
cording to arrangement entered into
between these two worthless. Mr.. Len
non says that Mr. Schurmeier borrowed
the money and will not repay it until
compelled. The st. Paul Dispatch dips
into the contest. There will be those
mean enough to think that its zeal is
not unconnected with advertising con-
tracts. But a still deeper allegiance
appears in it's wall that the owl car
ordinance remains unrepealed. Touch
the street railway company anywhere,
in the interest of the people, and it's
organ responds with shrek. And the
newspaper which thus dares to flout
the public at the behest of its master
is always first to suspect and impugn
the motives of others.

AN ABUSE OF STATE POWER.

There ought not to be any doubt of
the position Of the supreme court of
| this state On the case that is before
1t involving the constitutionalfty of
state laws providing for a bounty for
the manufacture of sugar from beets
grown in Minnesota If we could only
have as strict a system of quarantine
against moral iniquity as we have
against physical contagion, these laws
would be sent to the legislative pest
house at once. The various laws in
the several states granting bounties to
the promotion Of our industries show
how the disease of protective tariff
system spreads downward until it
reaches the remotest part of the ma
tional organism and carries infection
into every tissue.
The contention, of course, was that
new industry would be created. and
the pretense, was that the payments
made in it's behalf by the state would
go to the farmers who raise sugar
beets; just as in the case Of the pro-
tective tariff the alleged beneficiaries
were not the immediate recipients of
the states favor. The money is COL
leeted all right enough, and the people
have to pay it. but it is handed
over in both cases to the capitalist.
The manufacturer of domestic COM
modities is supposed to share his prof
its with his employees and a like anus
ing theory is that the proprietors of
sugar factories will pay over fees
derived from the state to the farmers
who sell them sugar beets.
Of course this is all denial of
human nature; but even If it were
true, the bounty. laws plainly exceed
any proper power that can be con-
ferred upon state. That general
welfare" clause of the federal consti-
tuition which has been so fearful1v
prestituted to evil ends may be an
excuse for enforcing national protective
duties A state has no such excuse.
II tt can take property from some of
its citizens and present it to certain
others on the ground that the process
involves public benefit, where is the
limit to be drawn? Why may the
state not step in and switch all the
property of individuals around from
one ownership to another as r pieases?
What safety for either capital or labor.

POSTAL FRAUD CASE TO

Government Refuses to Delay Prosecu-
ton of Miller and Johns.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Oct. 20.-Judge
c. Thompson, of the United States dis
trict court, is expected tomorrow to an
nounce his decision for a new trial for
d. V. Miller and j. NJ. Johns for an al
legged conspiracy to extort a bride.
When the jury was discharged last
Saturday night after being unable to
agree on a verdict, it was stated it
stood seven to five for conviction, but
later reports placed the poll at nine to
three. 1t is evident from the activity
among the representatives of the gov
eminent here that Judge Thompson
has been asked to set as early a date
as possible for a new trial and that he
is trying to arrange his docket so as to
rehear the case at the present term Of

AN uNPRoMIslNe TASK.

We give Sir Claude Macdonald, the
British minister to Japan, joy of the
task which he has undertaken, to medi-
ate between Russia and Japan. Be-
yond doubt he could secure Japan's
consent to the proposals which he is
said to have laid before the Russian
government. These include the actual
evacuation of Manehuria by Russia,
and an admission that the country
south of the Yalu river belongs within
the sphere of Japan.
This is pretty nearly the entire Jap
anese contention, and if accepted would
require the abandonment by Russia of
practically all that she has gained by
her steady advances of the last five
years. Her view of the matter is I'M
doubtedly set forth in an interview
with Count Cassini He says boldly
that Russia is in Manchuria to stay;
that she made the country, built the
railroads, is in possession of immense
interests there and expects to realize
from them. She does not, he says, in
tend to evacuate Manchuria before
obtaining guarantee to which she has
a right which means such conditions
as will leave her in permanent control
Nothing short of this will be accepted,
and if others do not like it all that
Count Cassini has to say is chat if
ever conflict came it would not be
provoked by Russia
There is not the slightest room here
Tor peacemaker. There is no posi-
bility of weakening or material altera-
ton in the Russian position. Not only
does she hold Manchuria. but il is
absolutely Indispensable to the carry
ing out of her future plan for the con-
solidation of her Asiatfc empire and
the strengthening of her commercial
and military frontier on the Pacific.
She is going to stay there and hold the
country at any cost, even that of a
war with Japan. She can well feel
confident that the latter will not be
aided by Great Britain actively, since
such an alliance in the field could
scarcely fail to stir up European COM
plications. Japan must either submit
to this programme or fight. That is
all there is to it, and. the world at large

monwealths, the millions of happy,
prosperous people who are to reside in
comfort where once was but a dreary
waste, and give richness and strength
and character to the republic. In that
future as in the past, the structure is
to be built deep and high and strong
by sincere and intelligent cooperation.
No one has done so much as Presi-
such an understanding and to realize
this condition. That future as that
past will emphasize more strongly the
great principle of community of inter-
est between the producer and the car
rier; each dependent upon the other,
and both working together like skillful
builders toward one great result.
President Hill represents the great
revolution in railroad operation in this
country which has transformed it from
a stock jobbing, speculative interest to
true cooperation, a business enter
prise from which both parties may
gather legitimate and honorable profit.
It is that which makes the people who
are living hardy lives and creating
wealth for themselves and prosperity
for their country listen to him gladly.
1t is that which is winning success for
the great interests under his control,
and speeding the rich development of
the commonwealth of the West. And
it is that idea which will finally
triumph, because it is one of the truest
and most fundamental business con-
ceptions not only of our times but Of
all time.

PUTTING ON AIRS.

The Canadian members of the
Alaska boundary commission have act
ed very foolishly in declining to sign
the decision agreed upon by the other
four. OF course they are playing to
the galleries. They went to London
with the distinct understanding that
they would stand out for the Canadian
contention, regardless Of justice or
of the facts, and now strike an attf-
tude. 1t will look extremely foolish to
the rest Of the world, in view of the
fact that they actually obtained a
concession to which they were in no
wise entitled.
glaring and untenable by the fact that
the conclusion reached was agreed to
by the lord chief justice of England as
a member Of the commission. They
might claim that the American rep
resentatives were as biased and as
obstinate as themselves, but they could
not fmpute any such feelings to Lord
Alverstone. His sympathies certainly
were with the Canadians as far as his
desire for right would permit him to
go. Just at this moment Great Britain
Is holding out the olive branch to all
of the colonies. Whatever she can do
to increase kindly relations between
them and the mother country, what
ever favors she has to offer them, will
not be denied in any quarter. If 1T
We're possible to strain point in favor
of Canada, Lord Alverstone would have
done SO. The fact that he agreed OH
all main conclusions with the American
commissioners, proves absolutely that
Canada had, as We have said from the
outset and as all the evidence declares,
no case whatever
The action of the Canadian mem
bers cannot affect this conclusion, OF
the decision of the commission, or the
future status of the boundary. 1t ex-
hibfts them as controlled by foolish
pique and puts their country in an I'M
pleasant light. Theirs was the right
to protest against the conclusion of
the other members if they pleased.
Theirs was the right to say that they
believed themselves i'll used and to
stand out forever against a decision
with the commission equally divided.
But with the English representative
convinced Of the business of the Amer
lean contention, against his will and
his interest and all the plans of i'm
perial considerations, they only reflect
upon themselves by refusing to sign
any portion of the decision, even that
one most favorable to themselves.
On the whole, it is an advantage to
! the United States TO have them take
this position. II again exhibits to the
world the truth SO plainly presented
by the evidence before the commission,

that the Canadian case was one made
up of worthless evidence, and resting
upon an intense public feeling rather
than an appeal for the establishment
of justice. The fact that the chief
judicial official of Great Britain agreed

fact that the Canadian commissioners
make this absurd exhibition of them
selves, will leave no doubt of the cor

ness of the award in the mind of the

CASTRO TURNED DOWN AGAIN.
Umpire of italian Commission Decides
Against Venezuela.

PORT OF SPAIN, Island of Trinidad,
Oct. 20.-JacksOn H. Ralston. of Wash
ington, the umpire of the italian commits
sion at Caracas, Venezuela, has decided
against Venezuela in the case of the gov
ernment's claim for the double payment
of local taxes, which decision applies in
principle to the attempt now being made
by the Venezuelan government to collect
a second payment of taxes on goods col
lected on. on being landed, at Cuidad b.
hvar under the recent revolutionary gov
eminent at that port. The umpire holds
that the taxpayers were protected by the
payment to the defacto government. and
calls attention to the case decided by
Justice Story to this effect and the re-
cent attitude under like circumstances Of
the United States at Bluefelds, Ncara-
qua. When the decision of Mr.. Ralston is
known in Venezuela it will create a vivid
impression. as President Castro is now
causing the prosecution at Cuidad Bolivar
of foreign merchants, who are refusing to
pay to the Castro government duties
which they had previously paid to the
late revolutionary government.
