Mr.. Wnliamson,s Retrial.

Francis J. Heney, the San Francis
co lawyer who was made United
States district attorney in Portland
in order that he might prosecute The
land fraud cases, is showing himself
a man Of determination and force. He
has given the land ring shock by
following the failure TO secure a con.
vietion in the Williams s-Gesner-Biggs
case with a motion for an immediate
retrial, and Judge DeHsven, the San
Francisco jurist who is trying the land
fraud cases, granted the motion on
Thursday against the vehement pro
tests of the defendants counsel, who
naturally demanded time to "pull
themselves together"
This unexpected and somewhat un.
usual procedure by Mr.. Heney indi.
Gates at ledst his own behalf that he
will be able 10 obtain a conviction on
the second trial. This assurance Is
shared by many persons who have Civ.
on attention to the evidence brought
out before the court in tho hearing
just closed. The decision Of the gov
ernment prosecutor Is wise. His 70
fusal TO be intimidated by the fact
that two members Of the hTst jury
stood against conviction will convince
both the public and the land grabbers
that the government is in deadly ear
nest in it's determination to run to
earth all who have been engaged In
the thefts Of public lands.
NOtwithstapding the failure Of the
Jury TO convict him on the first trial,
Congressman williamsOn's public ca
reer is doubtless at an end. Ten men
whose imparitality there is no rea'
SON 10 question, have declared upon
the evidence that hee was guilty OF
robbing the people whose servant he
was in one Of the highest ofiees has
fellow citizens could bestow upon him
Nothing can ever remove the stigma
save triumphant aequittal on the
second trial, and of this there would
seem TO be little likelihood. Mr.. He

attention was lately called to this or.

he coolly dismissed the matter by an

There is a high authority for thiI

A Change-of-Date Argument.

= The circumstances of Senator Bates
death afford a striking reminder of the risk
Which is always run by the national Off
cials at inauguration time, even though the
elements may combine to yield the best pos
sible Fourth of March. Last Saturday was,
in general one of the finest days which has
ever been experienced for an Inauguration.
But there was a chill in the air which is
virtually inseparable from this time of the
year. The sun may shine and give warmth
where it falls, but in the shade a person
who is standing or sitting for any length
of time is exposed-to a serious danger, es-
pecially elderly man or woman. Mr..
Bate, in the course of his duty as a Sena-
tor, attended the ceremonies in front of
the Capitol and was chilled by the airs
which circled about at the foot of the great
building. The suns rays could not reach
those on the stand. His death is directly
attributed to this exposure.
Unless the Inauguration of the President
is to become a strictly indoor ceremony,
with all public features eliminated, it is a
menace to all who participate in. it beyond
sheltering walls. Perhaps now that one of
its veteran members has died as direct
result of his exposure to the weather, the
Senate will be willing to devote itself in
earnest to the solution of the problem of
change OF date. 1t must, at one stage or
another, pass upon any proposition to this
effect. Heretofore it has left the case in
the hands OF the House of Representatives.
where the subject has been occasionally
discussed without effect. 1t might profit
ably, at this special session, appoint a small
committee of its members to study the sub
feet. possibly during the recess, for the
purpose of reaching a conclusion as to the
best method of readjusting the national
calendar. at least to the end of inaugurating
the President at safe season, whether or
not this solution involves the broader ques-
tion OF a more logical system of congress
sioual meetings.

same figures much as the latter has done,
and had Mr. Hemenway stood in Mr.. Liv-
ingstons shoes he would probably have foi-
lowed somewhat the latter's line of COM
plant In such circumstances man must
speak for his own side.
Large as the figures are, in what particu-
lars would Mr.. Livingston's party, had 1t
been in power, have reduced them? TO
what bills would it have applied the knife!
Not to the pension bill, we may be sure, nor
to the army BILL nor the post Office bill. And
the river and harbor bill, as we all know, is
pork" equally dear to both parties, and
shared by both. There was controversy
over the naval bill, but it ragged principally
over whether one or two battle ships should
be ordered. Two were finally ordered, with
the assistance of a few democratic votes.
Is the real basis of Mr.. Livingston's re.
marks little matter of seven or eight mil
lion dollars-the cost of one battle ship?
We may be told that the germ of a great
issue, carrying many millions, was con-
tanned in that one item. 1t may be so. Is
the next House-that of the Sixtieth Con-
gress-to be contested for on the proposition
that the navy is receiving too large allow
ances? That it's growth has been too rapid
and expensive, and that the government
should save its money. or, having it to
spend. spend it, instead on internal i'm
provements? That would make an extreme
ly interesting campaign.

minority can easily be convicted of having

and 1t therefore appears as a critic for
campaign purposes of some of its own
work.
Just now the country is reading the state
ments of Mr.. Hemenway and Mr. Living
ston on the subject of the recent appro-
priations. The one man, speaking as the
chairman of the House appropriations COM
mittee, explains the figures from the re-
publican point of view, and the other as his
party's leading member of that committee
critcises them from the democratic point
OF view. Both statements are interesting,

Seeking More Trouble.

A remarkable story comes ONT of g.
Petersburg to the effect that Russia is re-
inforcing her military strength in the direc-
ton Of the Indian frontier, for the evident
purpose of bringing to an issue some of the
questions that have arisen during the past
three or four years relative to the bal
ance of power in the "hinterIand' of
India. This is most unexpected deyeIop-
ment. and yet the truth of the assertion is
vouched for by the correspondent. on the
strength of stories told by reputable
travellers in Turkestan. 1t would seem that
Russia has quite enough to do at home and
IN Manchurla, and quite serious need for
every available soldier and gun in both
places, without seeking trouble elsewhere
and spending precious money in extending
the frontier and inviting friction with
England. 1t is now regarded generally in
Europe as settled that Russas claims to
dominance in southern Asia will not be
established. Apart from the serious weak
ening of Russian prestige by the defeats
inflicted by Japan and the demonstration
of a great unrest at home events have
marched in the states bordering on India
in a direction quite away from the Russian
hopes. Lord Kitchener's tour of Persia
the successful negotiations for the estab-
lishment of British trade dominance in
the Persian gulf; Kitchener's project for
the reorganization of the Indian army;
Lord Curzon's successful administration of
the civil affairs of India and the harmon
iZing of many native differences; the
Younghusband expedition to Tibet, which
at least for the present set the British
prestige far above that of Russia at
Lhasa, and finally the pronounced wavering
of the Ameer of Afghanistan toward the
British side-these elements have lately
been making distinctly for the buttressng
of the British position. They have in any
case greatly magnified the difficulties Of
the Russian game.

s. boy of ours,
He's goin' ahead an develop some won

But now we know that he moves so slow
because of his thoughts immense.
I've seen him sit as the hours passed by

The same as OF Isaac Newton did when
the apple fell on him.
But the thing that proves that he's talented,
an proves it good an strong,
Is this one significant circumstance, he's
lettin' his hair grow long.
1 can't yet see what his line will be. Per-
haps he will stump the state
An wave his hair as an orator, decidin' a
nations fate;
Or maybe he'll turn to music an soothe us
with gentle joy
He could beat the world on a jewsharp
when he was a little boy.
Perhaps he will be a painter or poet
whose tuneful mood
Will wake our souls to appreciate some
succulent breakfas' food.
But whether its speeches or pictures Or
the starry paths of song,
We know he has started for something
cause he's lettin' his hair grow long.

Selling the Philippines.
Says the PHILADELPHIA Record.

The only real danger to be apprehended
at any future time from the Japanese lies
in our incursion into the sphere of Asiatic
affairs growing out of the conquest of the
philippines. The Japs have their hands
full for the next hundred years in firmly
establishing themselves in Asia, without
turning their eyes toward America. When
we shall eventually tire of our East In
dian adventure we might find in Japan a
willing purchaser of our title thus turning
yellow peril into yellow opportunity"
This is a strange suggestion from an
anti-1mperialist. Sell the islands to Japan?
Traffic in the people at so much head?
Has the esteemed Record forgotten the
denunciation of Mr.. McKinley-in which it
probably joined-for buying ten million
Filipinos for twenty million dollars? Two
dollars per capita was the price paid That
was the favorite way Of describing the
transaction. The affair." we were told, was
a disgrace to civilization, and would re-
main forever a blot on our escutcheon
And yet here, at the end of six years. it is
proposed that, in time. we make terms and
part with our property by the same means
by which we acquired it. If there was dis
grace in the purchase would there not be
equal disgrace in sale?
The Record does not expect us to be able
to strike a bargain with Japan for a hun
can say what the map of the world will
look like then? Who can safely forecast
Americas growth and plans, Japan's
growth and plans, and Philippine develop
ment. in a century of such strenuosity as
we have just entered upon? The Philippine
archipelago may be powerful oriental re-
public in that day, or so valuable and con-
tented an American possession as to make
severance of relations as Objectionable
proposition to its people as to us. Speculat-
ing on the basis of a hundred years of
progress is free to ALL but idle.
AT this time no calculation seems alto
getber warranted but this: While we re-
main in the islands We shall exert ourselves
for their benefit. and the longer we stay
and enjoy prosperity at home the greater
the change thee will be for the good They
are very rich in resources, and it is to be
our task to develop them and keep them
on their way rejoicing.
Meanwhile the anti-imperialists should
not be considering sale of the people and
the property under any circumstances
That reflects upon the exalted stand they
took when we were dealing with Spain,
and lowers them to the plane of those they
then so fercely assailed.
