WHO BEGAN THE COMMANDMENT?


nightly and without just by recent criticisms OF
the American, British and French press the bonn
bardmen OF Venezuelan forts and cities by German
ships after the beginning of the negotiations and ar
engagements for arbitration.
The defense offered by German authorities and
organs for the bombardments is interesting 1t is this,
that the German gunboat Panther first attacked by
the Venezuelan fort and that its actions in self
defense.
This version is entirely different from that which
American government authorities and press correspond
ents received from the of the battle and is rad
icay different from the information received by the
other two allied powers. Great Britain and Italy all of
whom were informed that the Panther began hosttes
by firing upon Fort San Carlos that after hours
Smelling of the fort and failure silence its guns the
Panther then withdrew from the and returned with
two other Warshps, the Nneta and Fake The fortress
of San Carlos this time was destroyed and the city
shelled and thereupon the German batteshps entered
Lake Maracaibo whose entrance guarded by San
Carlos and destroyed the Venezuelan gunboat Miranda

German authorities substantially admit everything
except that the first shot fred at the Panther from
the fort But Gen Bello commander Of the fort i'll his
written statement which accepted by all authorities
without question week ago. held that the Panther
not only fired the first shot, but had done without
provocaon without notice and without the issue of
utimatum and that the fort had only four guns with
which to reply.
In regard the point Of veracity raised this much
plain That the Panther, in order be attacked if it
attacked had leave its post blockade line
and steam six miles inland the of Lake Mara
CabO; that the Venezuelans hitherto had shown dis
position to be aggressors while the Panther and other
German warshps had been distinctly aggressive that the
fortress had nothing to gain and everything to lose in
provoking battle; that the Venezuelan government had
turned its affairs to Minister Bowen weeks be-
fore and waiting and praying for peaceful settle
ment in order to avoid desruction and finally, that the
acts of both Venezuelan and German forces both before
and after the first bombardment showed which
anxious for fray and which anxious escape
American information, British information, Italian
information and the reports of the Venezuelan auhori-
ties agree with the version out by Associated
Press and all special correspondents that German
warships first provoked and then maintained hostites

THE DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY,

The New York Sun quotes approvingly the follow
ing editorial utterance of the Southern Democratic jour
nal, the Richmond Times and maintains that "never was
such opportunity offered party out of power to
recapture the control of the government" paragraph
from the Richmond organ, which the Sun maintains
puts the case fairly and squarely," reads
IF the Democratic party will only rehearse its cate
chsn, and refresh its faith in the fundamental Demo-
cratic principle OF letting the people alone attend to
Their own BUSINESS nlneteentweneths of all this ramp
and roar about trusts and monopoes as Democrats
are concerned would vanish like NaCbeths Witches into
thin air 1t the men who giving the brains and raoney
to the development of Industrial business and the
men who doing the work in the shops could only be
assured by the Democratic party that under their ad-
ministration these interests would be downtrodden
trinaires the party would be borne triumplantI into
power and all Of brains Drawn and substance would
reJolce IN a feeling OF relief and security
Ii the Sun and Times were inclined to the SUPPOSE

the convictions and traditions of the Democratic party

but demand true and American remedies instead of bum
combe buster and paternastic red-tape our contem-
poraries have hit the nail on the head
The Democratic position so far as it has clarified is
substantially this: That the first and the simple and
plain duty OF the government in its relations with the
trust is to take away its special privileges namely IFS
tariff and other bonuses and subsdes second SO far
the property rights of the big corporation known the
trust concerned they be treated by law only as
other property rights treated namely with perfect
equality and Justice third, that so far as proceeding
against the trust corporation concerned can be
ised only for overt acts of conspiracy against other in
dustria and commercial rights and interests fourth that

the into political partnership with the government
by paternaistc supervision and protective tariffs if is
the most dangerous programme that could be devised
and i'll effect chiefly grand project make the trusts
insure the reign of Republican dynasty and in return
become the political power behind the throne

principle that be endured Between the Demo-

PACIFIC EXPORTS OF BREADsTUFFs.

1t is only few years since the entire expectation of
American breadstufs, barring a small of Cali
fornia wheat shipped from San Francisco, to Eu
rope via the Atlantic ports 1t is interesting therefore
to note that in 1902 Puget Sound stood third among
American ports in the shipment of wheat and -four being
only slightly behind New York and Baltimore, and
passed Philadelphia Boston, Newport News, New Or
leans. San Francisco and all other ports
The total annual expectations of breadstuffs from
Pacific ports now aggregate not far from $5oooo,ooo
onefourh of the total from all ports. Hongkong
now requires about 100000 barrels of American flour
year the Of China about 100000 Japan about
100000, Australasia about 100000 and the remainder
of Asia and Oceanca 100000 barrels more, making a
total of nearly 100000 barrels of flour alone to for
eign Pacific markets. Then there are about 100000
OF breadstufs all told shipped to Pacific col
ones, including Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines. The
heavy flour shipment which direct from Mnneap-
oils to Manila the other day is the harbnger Of further
trade in breadstus via Puget Sound. Formerly the ad
vantage possessed by Pacific coast mills in the length of
haul excluded Minnesota shippers from the Pacific
kets But under the traffic conditions, Minnesota
and the DakOtas the commerce with the Orient
with prospects Of developing good volume Of business
The comparison of the export statistics of bread
stu by ports for the year 1902 is eye-opener. 1t
Is difficult to believe that large volume of bread
stus already finds outlet through the shipping port of
the Northwest, and that Puget Sound has become at
bound the competitor of New York, Baltimore PhiIa
delpha, Boston and Newport News But the official fig
tires show that to be the fact.
New York exported I9o55526 bushels Of Wheat and
44I9129 barrels of -four total of 100000 bushels
expressed in wheat
Baltimore exported o47o,ooo bushels Of wheat and
3o7+335 barrels of flour, total of 233o4ooo meas
ured in wheat.
Puget Sound exported 1294o484 bushels of wheat
and I63o,555 barrels of -four which expressed in wheat
amounts to total of 20, 288o82 bushels
Philadelphia exported combined total Of wheat and
flour amounting to 2oI64ooo bushels San Francisco ex
ports were 185z5ooo, those of New Orleans were 49,
100000 and of Newport News I38I8ooo. The extraor-
binary wheat crop and flour output of the Northwest
coupled with increased facilities reduced rates via
Puget Sound against increased rail rates eastward
will result i'll further increase in Puget Sound business

SENTENCE OF COL. LYNCH.

If Col Lynch has already had his sentence of
death committed to life Imprisonment there IS no doubt
but such action will be taken in short time His con-
vction insisted upon by the English government
for purposes of dsciplne-to discourage others who
might be inclined to go and do likewise But just at this
time, when every effort is being made pacate the Irish
and solve the problem of land ownership Ireland it
not possible to believe the Baour administration would
make such rreparable bunder to shoot Col Lynch
Ill execution of sentence for in taking UP arms
i'll behalf of the Beers
The English court apparently took scant notice of
the plea of the defense that Col Lynch had become
naturazed citizen Of the South African republic and was
therefore absoved from all obligation to the mother
country 1t is than probable that Col Lynchs ct-
zenshp the South African republic began subsequent
to the assimilation of that country by royal decree of
England queen In which his naturalization would
not be considered.
A few years in prison is the penalty in store-for it
seems to be taken for granted that full pardon will not
be delayed great many years. This will be true unless
Col Lynchs fellow patriots DO something to particularly
offend the English in which vengeance might be
wreaked the luckess prisoner the way Of keeping
him locked up until DEATH
AS the asperites Of the Boer war are softened
it will be time to agtae for unconditional pardon for
Col Lynch, and the Of such agitation could al
most be assured beforehand.
