they will make persistent effort

END OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The campaign for the election Of
city officers is nearing its close.
To the credit Of both sides, it has
been conducthd in a remarkably
fine spirit and has been free from
the disgraceful mud singing
that is sometimes resorted to.
There has been no necessity for
introducing personalities into the
fight. The lines have been square
" drawn between democracy and
republicanism. Whatever the
wisdom Of such a course may be is
not now a relevant issue. condi-
tions have been such that
both parties have seen fit 70 put
straight tickets in the field. Both
parties have nominated The men

whom they thought most available
and best suited for the various
positions and It's up to the voters
to say whether they wani
democrats or republicans to fil the
positions If any Of the men
elected be found wanting WHOM
they are put to the test, the yiciors
in this election must bear the re-
sponsibility and answer for it at
the tribunal Of the people in The
next election.
The democratic ticket is one
that should command not only the
vote of every democrat but ~
should also receive his active
support in every way. A man
duty is not done when he votes
the ticket, but if he believes that
il is a good one and is really anx-
ious for its success. he will get out
and work for it, doing all in his
power to win others to his way Of
thinking.
1t is true that the campaign |
thus far has been a clean one, but
il is barely possible that in the
closing hours, there may be those
who would inject into il elements
less honorable. In an army Of the
bravest and truest men, few con
temptible and cowardly knaves
are always found. There
may be such men at the last
moment in this campaign, vino by
cunning and low devices, will en-
deavor to ply their miserable trade.
Beware Of them. If one Of them
calls you aside TO whisper into
your ear things you didn't know
or 10 unfold TO you his clever plans,
put it down that he has an axe 10
grind-that he is laboring 10 feed
fat some personal grudge Or to
gain some selfish end lie is en-
deavoring to make you a TOOL in
carrying out his ncfarious designs.
Turn a deaf ear TO him.
Brave and honest men fight III
the open. Low, mean tactics all
ways recoil upon those who resort
to. Policy, good judgment and man
most honorable and upright means
,eemployed in politics as well as in J
he other affairs in life. Let this
close as it began upon a
iigh plane, and whether we are
yictors or vanquished, let us have
lave the conciousness that il was
clean, fair fight.

teal standpoint they are far behind
the spirit of the age. This is probably
due to the conservatism that has al
ways been the chief characteristic of
Walla Walla and in many instances it
has been carried to the brink of moss
backism. No doubt the present city
superintendent and others who have
preceded him would have introduced
manual training and other improved
methods if public sentiment and the
school board could have been depended
on to support their efforts.
The Statesman is pleased to know
that the county superintendent is a

to aid the new city superintendent in

Of this city.

NEW YORK, Apr 21.-The latest

Electric and Edison Electric company.
In the coalition the General and
Edison companies agree to discontinue

society has sent out an appeal to the
IRISH of the United States to cease

his emigration is draining Ireland of

1t seems odd that an Irish society
should sent out such an appeal. The
love of family is strong among the
Irish and the love of liberty is also
very strong. 1t seems natural that
those who have come to the United

During the discussion of an amend
ment to the postoffice appropriation
bill the other day, proposed by Sena-
tor German, Senator Teller, of Colo
evidence of the loss to the govern
ment of $3,6OO,O0O as the result of the
frauds in the pOstoffice department.
Of this amount, he added, $4,000 had
been traced to Machen and $4,000 to
Beavers, leaving s3,154,O0O unac-
counted for. Mr.. Germans amend
ment provided for a searching investi-
CATION of the department by a COM
mittee of congress, to be completed
before the appropriat ton to certain
purposes in the department be avail
able. Senator Teller was supporting
the amendment.
If $3,154,OO0 has been stolen from
the government and nobody knows
Who got the money or how it was OBJ
tanned, the leaders of the republican
party ought to be anxious for an in
vestigation rather than fighting such
4 proposition. In the first place until
the perpetratOr OF the crime is re-
yealed and punished the party under
whose auspices he operated is respOn-
sible, whether the leaders of the party
know who he is or not. If they know
and fail to expose and hand him over
after the fact. which is almost as bad
as perpetrating the crime. Bnt in any
event they are responsible because
they have been charged with guarding
the interests of the people and have
failed.
The persistency and energy with
which the republican leaders in the
senate and house of representatives.
resist every effort to investigate the
frauds make it certain that they know
where the fault lies and that it is very
close to the head of the adminstra-
ton. If only unimportant persons
were concerned there would be no at
tempt at concealment. Beavers and

the vengeance of the law because
they were of no use. But Perry S.

We're protected. The other and greater
offenders must be important fellows,

Japan's Financial Position.

We must recognize, at the outset
says Harper's Weekly, that Japan is a
poor country, like nearly all Oriental
lands though not quite SO poor as the
British India. With a population equal
| to that of Germany, Japan has less than
a fourth of Germany's revenue, or, to
take her ally England as the basis OF
comparison, Japan, with a population
half as great as England, has less than
a fifth of the revenue of England. We
may make the view even clearer in
about $40 per head; that of Japan Is
about SO per head. The imports of
England are about $50 per head;
those of the Netherlands, drawn from
an immense east Indian empire, about
$3.50 per head, While those of Japan
are only SO per head-about one fiftieth
the imports of Holland.
Japan is very densely populated
Nearly 100000 of her population are
settled at from 400 to AS to the square
mile nearly 30,000.000 approaching the
latter figure in density. This pOpula-
ton is largely agricultural, the av-
erage farm being about two acres in
extent, and having rather the charac-
ter of a garden titled wholly by hand
labor than of a farm in our sense. This

thousands of poor operatives will suf-
fer by the shutdown of the sixty five
mills.
The natural question is whether So
ciety can ever, without general injury
to commerce, learn to prevent disas
trOus gambling and it's reactions.
Legislation is nearly helpless, because
any law rigorous enough to prevent
and industry. 4 better commercial
conscience throughout all classes is
the only hope of a cure.

MANUAL TRAINING IN CITY
SCHOOLS.

Waitsburg has taken step in ad-
optional manual training department
to the course of instruction in her pub
lie schools. WaIla WaIIa is far behind
most cities of the country in this re-
spect. Only literary studies are taught
and the small per cent of pupils who
complete the course and graduate from
the high school at the average age of
eighteen years go out with a routine
knowledge of text books and little
to fit them for ready adaptation to a
trade or to some useful line of bust
ness. During the last four years of
the course spent in acquiring a super
fetal knowledge of Greek. Latin. and
physics most Of them forget what they
once may have learned of the fund1-
mental branches taught in the first
eight grades. Few high school pupils
are good accountants or good spoilers
and few can write correct English.
Il is plain that something should be
done to make the public schools fulGIl
the purpose for which they are main
tained-the making of good and useful
citizens. The course of study should
be thoroughly revised, eliminating all
that is not essentiol and adding such
training as will tend to fit the boy
and the girl for their struggle with the
world as they viii find it, not as
dreamers would have it.
The establishment of manual
training department in the public
schools would do a great deal toward
inducing boys and girls to complete
the full course. Under present condi-
tons the girls are in a large ma jOrity
above the fifth grade. In that grade
there are about as many boys as girls
In the sixth grade there are perhaps
two-thirds as many boys as girls and
the ratio of boys to girls grows less
and less to the last year of the high
school, when the average is probably
not greater than one boy to ten girls.
A course of manual training intro
duced in the sixth grade and continued
throughout the course would do much
to correct this great defeat in the pub
lie schools. 1t would interest and at
tract the boys. to say nothing of the

St. Louis, April 23.-Sentence of death was today passed upon "Lord' Freder- ick Seymour Harrington in the circuit court at Clayton, recently convicted of having killed James P. McCann, his benefactor: Judge McElhinney set the date for execution on June 14, but later granted stay of execution until after July 23.
 Harrington entered the courtroom smiling and bearing himself with that self-possession that characterized him throughout his trial. When the court asked him if he had anything to say before sentence was pronounced, Bar rington replied: 'No, I have nothing to say, except that have not been giv- en a fair trial. I had intended review ing my defense, but in difference to my attorney. will say nothing more."
 When sentence was pronounced, Bar rington almost collapsed. His face be- came ashen and he sank down in a chair, his hands clasped in mute de- spair as he intently listened to his at torney asking for a stay of execution.

Mayor Brown and Other Officials Are
 Indicted.

Pueblo, Colo., April 2S.-Mayor B. B. Brown was indicted by the grand jury this afternoon on four counts, three charging false pretenses and one aIleg- ing forgery. All the charges grow out Of the payrolls in the city departments. Alderman Thomas Flynn, of the Fifth ward. was arrested on twenty-three in- dictments charging false pretenses in the same connection.
 A total of fifty-two true bills was returned to Judge Voorhees in the dis trict court this afternoon, but the other names have not been made public be- cause the sheriff has not yet appre- hended the accused. It is generally understood, however, that all the other true bills are against city officials, past or present. The investigation has been in progress more than a month by a special grand jury at the request of the taxpayers of the city. Mayor Brown is republican and Alderman Flynn a democrat.

Ratification of Panama Canal Transfer
FIVE DISSENTING VOTES
The Unavailins Protest at the Meet ing Yesterday of Baron Wyse the Concessionaire and the Represen- tative of Colombia.

Paris, April 23.-A meeting of the stockholders of the Panama Canal company for the purpose of finally rat flying the transfer of the canal to the United States was held at Salle des Agricultures today. A large and dem onstrative crowd was present, many women occupying the galleries. Prior to the meeting it became known that the conveyance of the property to the United States had already been made. Great interest was manifested as it was recognized that the vote on ap- proving the conveyance would be the final struggle. The report of the cour.- cil of administration Uas distributed among the shareholders.
 This formally announced that the president and Director Rischrnann had signed the conveyance and presented a resolution ratifying their action. The report also gave the text of the con veyance to the United States. The most important paragraph reads as follows:
 Now, therefore WE, the new Pana- ma Canal company represented by Marius Bo and Albert Rischmann. in consideration of the payment of the sum of forty million dollars in gold coin of the United States to the said company on its order or demand con- temporaneously with the delivery of this present conveyance to representa- tives of the United States first above mentioned and delivery to them of its property in Paris and certificates of said Panama railroad shares 0he prop erty of the company not being under stood to include the treasury assets of the company, including deposits of money outstanding credits and invest ments on bcnds), and the delivery up on the isthmCs of Panama to an agent of the United States designated by them or by the attorney general of the United States of the remainder its rights and properties do hereby ac- knowledge and confirm the said sale and do grant, sell and assign. transfer and set over to the United States ab- ,solutely in full ownership the totality without exception of the ccmpany's property and rights on the isthmus of of Panama, and its maps and archives at Paris"
 The report also gave the opinion Of former Premier Waldeck Rousseau oa the regularity of the transfer and the resolution for the liquidation of the
  cd over to the United States. Secretary Lumpre read a protest from Bonaparte Wyse, the original concessionaire, and representative of Colombia, against the ratification. The voting began immediately without speech-making. President Bo an nounced that the first resolution. for ratification was carried with only five dissenting votes.
 This brought out loud applause. The vote was not taken in detail, but the affirmative represented about 250 per sons present, holding approxime tely 450.000 shares.
 The second resolution was similarly adopted without division, only two dissenting.
 The meeting then adjourned, the en- tire session lasting only an hour and a quarter.
