What Hurt MetcaIf.
What is CALLING to Metcalf, beyond
the presidents attitude, is the fact
that the matter should have been as
signed to Secretary Taft for quasi adj
ministrative advice. Taft took the po-
sition that Metcalf, being a Califor-
Man, was therefore prejudiced against
the Chinese beyond the point where
his advice could be accepted as safe
and sane. That Taft should have sat
in judgment, so to speak, upon another
member Of the cabinet, is very I'M
usual, except in the Roosevelt admin
istration, and the general opinion in
Washington is that in permitting this
faux pas" to occur, the president has
been guilty of at least discourtesy to
mis- secretary of commerce and labor,
whose business it is to be an expert on
the questions arising under his juris-
diction.
For these things, Metcalf was very
near rendering his resignation to the
president the moment that he was or
dered to promulgate the orders of June
"a. His friends, it is asserted, kept
him from resigning, but that they will
finally dissuade him is very doubtful.
!, fha h
ject lest his talf be considered an in
suit to the president.
Provocative Of Trouble
The order to the subordinates that
they shall accept a certificate as bona
fide from every Chinese that presents
one, without any unusual tests to find
out if the person described in it is one
to whom it was issued, will be provo
cative of grave troubles, for it is but
a bid to venality on the part of the
diplomatic agents-an open door to
wrongdoing by persons who, accord
ing to the presidents letter of June "a,
had been very lax in their duties in
the very matter in which he says they
should be more attentive.
The best of the situation is the at
titude of the Chinese legation towards
the presidents note. They are happy
over it. They say it will perhaps make
the Chinese government feel more
friendly towards the merchants of the
United States. Why the merchants
That they feel so pleased is due to the
fact that they know with the law
loosely construed on this side of the
Pacific and the certificates issued by
men who are virtually accused of hav-
ing put their cupidity above their pa
triotism and duty on the other side,
China need have no fears as to the out
come so far as John Chinaman' is
concerned. The Chinese know that by
appealing to the cupidity of the Amer
lean merchants and threatening a boy
colt upon American goods, they would
raise a howl through a section of the
United States, and the political wires
would be pulled vigorously. This was
done, and the result, that what the
Chinese most prayed fora letting
down Of the bars-has been done.

HARTMAN AND HILL UNABLE
TO AGREE ON MATTER OF
EXCHANGE
Runor That O. r. E. N. Will Bridge
the Columbia at The Dalles and
Build to the Sound

One portion or the 11ll-HdTflIndll
agreement has not yet been fixed up,
and that is the giving of trackage
privileges to the Northern Pacific from
Wallula to Portland and extending the
same courtesy to Hartman from
Portland to the sound, says the Port
land Telegram.
Authorities we'll Informed in that con-
nection declare that, while Hill will
grant Hartman permission to haul his
rolling stock over the Portland-Puget
sound division, the former refuses to
accede to the request of Hill for track
age down the Columbia. That the
| Northern Pacific has not entirely
abandoned it's intention to construct a
road to Portland along the north bank
of the river is evident from the fact
negotiations for a right of way con-
tinue, and it is said Hill has even pur-
chased entire farms to further his needs
in that direction. But~al this would
be stopped if Hartman would let the
Northern Pacific enjoy the easy haul
| from Walla Walla over the o. r. & N.
o. r. e. N. Surveyors Busy.
That the presence of a party of 0.
r. & N surveyors at point on the
| Washington side of the stream between
Bonneville and the locks, is of more
significance than the mere fact lines
are being run in connection with pre-
pairing statements for the payment of
taxes is generally believed. In the first
place the taxation Washington imposes
on the useless strip of land extending
along the Columbia at that place is so
low that the cost of making the present
survey would pay the assessment for
| more than ten years. Under the laws
of the state a railroad is entitled to a
right of way 100 feet in width. By pur-
chasing more land, Hartman can
blast out the rocks for a sufficient dis
lance inland to prevent Hill from ever
coming down the river, as he would be
compelled to build on the high ground,
and from there could not find prac-
ticable descent to the low country for
an entrance to Portland.
Roads Are Jockeying
The fact that the Columbia River &
Northern made a surcvey from Lyle
along the river to what was formerly
known as Hellgate, but is now called
| Grand Dalles, where a crossing can be
made at comparatively small expense
! ton of a story that Hartman is pre-
pairing, in the event the Hill line to
the sound cannot be used, to extend
the Tacoma eastern from it's present
terminus south to the Columbia, con-
Meeting with the old portage road
right of way and continuing on to the
crossing, and there affecting juno
ton with the main line on the Oregon
side Hartman wants northern route
badly, and it is thought now that his
threat to connect at Olympia with the
projected independent line was but a
ruse, and he will use the Tacoma con-
nection if forced to by reason of Hills
determination to return tit for tat in
the failure to make amicable trackage
adjustments.

According to the annual report of
the secretary of state of Ohio, many
thousands of divorces are granted in
this commonwealth each year. The
report says that $500 divorce cases
were heard in Ohio during the year.
The number OF marriages for the same
time was 1868. The divorce record is
1875 per cent of the marriage record.
OF the $3.50 divorce cases heard in
the state, 4,316 were granted and 1874
refused. OF these sos cases were heard
in Cleveland and less than half, 436,
were tried in Cincinnati. Toledo beat
Columbus in this respect, the Maumee
City having 329, while the capital had
2l1 cases. The remaining cases are
about equally distributed among the
other counties in proportion to their
population. There was no county with
out domestic woe, however.
Absence and neglect of duty on the
part of the husband supplied the great
est number of causes for divorce, there
being 3,1S5 cases of this character in

DEMANDS HERRIcK's DEFEAT.

The Epworth Outlook, published
weekly by Rev. w. B. Pickard, J. r.
Horner and s. Weimer, publication
committee appointed by the Epworth
Memorial Methodist church, in the
last issue of the publication demands
the defeat of Governor Herrick.
The attitude of the paper on tne
state issues now before the people of
Ohio, is important from the fact that
the Outlook makes special endeavo- :
TO reflect the sentiments of members
OF the Methodist church generally. In
part the demand for the defeat of Gov.
Herrick says:
Party lines should be lost sight or
If the ballot were taken today the re-
suit would scarcely be in doubt. But
what effect the party spellbinder viii
have upon the hitherto loyal party
man is the uncertain quantity.
THE issue is not that of Republi.
canism VS.. Democracy, it is rather, de-
cency VS.. indecency, morality VS.. inl-
morality, good VS.. evil. If the present
governor should be reelected, the IL
quor men the country over would
herald it as a triumph for their cause,
and they would be right.
1t is a hopeful sign to see conspic-
nous leaders and officeholders in the
Republican party take bold stand
against Herrick and Cox at the posi-.
BILE cost of their political future. Suck
men as Thomas B. Fowler A. G. Car.
penter and Judge T. K Dissette have
already declared open war upon the
head of the Republican ticket Many
others will follow.
when men like these dare risk
their political future for the cause of
good government, how much easier
for the average voter who has moth
ing in a personal way to lose, to cas-,
his ballot for the same cause?"

CONTRIBUTION
is ABOUT WHAT THE NEWS-DEM-
ocRAT MUST CONSIDER.
The Thousands of Dollars of Property
Taken by the MeGreeors-The
Estate Insolvent.

The judgment of the News-Demo-
crat Publishing company against the
estate of the late Archibald McGregor,
Sr, amounting to about S1,S00, was
settled last week by the McGregors
paying the costs of the case and the
attorney fees of the News-Democrat
Co., amounting to about $500.
This judgment was for the amount
recovered for property of the compa-
ny wrongfully taken by the McGregors
soon after the purchase of the prop
erty by the present owners. The COM
pany sued for the value of the prop
erty taken but could only secure judg-
ment for the property then found in
the possession of the estate. The
total amount claimed was nearly $5,-
600.
The reason for the settlement was
due to the fact that the estate of
the late Archibald McGregor, Sr., in
whose name the transactions had been
conducted, was hopelessly involved
by reason of labor claims of John Nc
Gregor and others, debts to relatives,
last sickness claims, mortgage to a
local bank. etc. 1t was felt that the
best thing to do was to settle and thus
avoid the costs being assessed against
the News-Democrat Co.
The case where judgment was pro-
cured was tried some time ago and
appealed The court on the appeal
sustained the judgment given below
1t is one of the many cases that the
company was compelled to institute
against various parties who had taken
advantage of the company soon after
the purchase. OF the number of cases
so far tried, the company has won
each and every one.
