A NEW SPECIALITY.

Ours is a day Of speculation and
fine distinction in all things social,
financial and political. The business or
professional man who specializes is
generally the successful one. So also
in the political realm, the man VINO
follows along a particular line, or the
organization that raises a single issue
and stands on it works into publicity
and leadership, even if not always into
success.
In higher politics, where brains and
character count, and in the lower polit-
ical strata, where the pull is paramount
and the ward heeler is king, the same
thing maintains. Here there is always
something new, some division or sub
division of something old, and the latest
of these, emanating from Tammany,
that source of new things in low poll
tics, is honest graft"
In the political comment of the east
Tammany member is reported as
saying with reference to the saloon and
social evil, from which once came an
enormous revenue: Why should the
Tammany leaders go into such dirty
business when there is so much honest
graft lying around? With the opportu-
mites for a man with a political pull,
Here is he distinction drawn fine.
Just as the general public has become
familiar win the comparatively new
word graft and has begun thoroughly
to understand it's meaning and all that
follows, the division is made, and today
we must distinguish between plain, Or
binary graft, or stealing, and honest
graft, or presumably, that higher form
of stealing, which, passing over the
rumshop and the brotnel as means OF
revenue, concerns itself only with the
or state contracts, or other deals in
volving the absorption of thousands in
a lump.
1t is highly probable that the term
honest graft is here to stay, and
will be heard from in the next great
campaign.

DID THE CAR AGREE TO PAY?

A dispatch to the World from London
relates that the car has secretly
bound himself to pay half billion in
demnity to his great and good friend,
the mikado, out of his own pocket and
that this is the reason peace was made
at Portsmouth. 1t is claimed that
neither Baron Komura nor Mr. White
knew anything of the ARRANGEMENT.
Whsch was made either in London or
s. Petersburg.
This story is probably not true, but
there are circumstances which
give it color. There is, first, the un-
doubted fact that the most astonisned
man in the world was M. Witte when
the Japanese demand for an indemnity
was withdrawn entirely. He was
breathless with excitement when he
emerged from the conference room, and
talked wildly as a man would who had

Kentucky Men Yield Diamonds.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-David ORA
has visited this country in the interests
of an English syndicate, is in this city
at present, investigating the situation
of the American market in diamonds
and other precious stones. He has
just returned from a prospecting tour
which took him through Kentucky and
several other districts in the south. He
made a careful inspection of the dis
trict between Ison and Creeches creeks,
Elliott county, KY, and says that sur
face borings showed that a stratum of
Kimberlte is close to the surface. This
Kimberlite is the diamond bearing
stratum which has yielded sucn enor-
nous wealth of diamonds in South At
RIGA. There are, in his opinion, also
strong indications of garnets filmenite,
Divine, dopside and mica. In his pre-
liminary surface work he did not find
any diamonds, but he is inclined to be-
lieve that there may be diamond bear
ing deposits in that district.
Mr.. Draper does not consider it at all
strange that no diamonds have, so far,
been found in that district, as the sur
face is covered with a thick growth
of vegetation. He points to the fact
that many of the mines in the Trans
vaal were discovered only after twen-
tyfive years of prospecting, although
it was evident to mining experts that
diamonds existed there. In his opinion
there is no reason why the deposits in
Kentucky should not bear just as large
and fine gems as those in South Africa
and says that the cost of mining would
be great deal cheaper in Kentucky
than in South Africa. A yield of only
five carats per load would be sufficient
to make diamond mining in Kentucky
paying.
Mr.. Draper expects to meet the men,
bers of the syndicate in London about
two weeks hence and will probably ad-
wise them to have expensive borings
and Investigations made by competent
diamond prospectors. He thinks it
would cost about 100000 to explore
the district and that it would require
about two years time to complete the
work.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-09-13

been genuinely thrown off mis- balance.
There is also the fact that Komura was
intensely cngrined when the order
came from Toxic to make peace with
out an indemnity. He had pressed the
question sincerely, so sincerely that
White had cabled the car that Russia
must yield on this point if she desired
peace. This, Notwithstanding the fact
that White had publicly parroted that
he would not pay a kopeck. He ex-
pected to pay, nevertheless.
Yet the story is probably without
foundation. Cars do not give up their
cash for the good of the people. They
keep it against a rainy day, and the
clouds threaten ruin in Russia.

money, gold, silver, nickel and copper
of the grand total of $1,000, 9J2,3o1.
The August output raised it to $2,621,-
659,O54. Going back a year, the in
crease today is $63,379,070. This is
the money actually in circulation, and
does not include the government re-
serve, or the working balance in the
treasury office.
Today there is not only more money
in the country than ever before in its
history, but also a larger per capita
distribution. The statistician of the
treasury department has estimated
the population of the United States to
Sept. at S3,493,O0O. This makes the
average $3140 for every man, woman
and child On Aug. 1 it was $31.29,
Sept. 1 a year ago, $31.16, and on Sept.
1. 1903, only $3.50. Thus, the money
ing effect of increasing population, not
only held its own, but in two years
raised the per capita circulation by
$3.50.
With all this money passing around
it would seem absurd to talk of money
scarcities, nor is there, indeed, any i'm
mediate likelihood of stringency. Yet
the total, great as it is, is none too
large for the business of the country,
and good management is necessary to
prevent scarcity, which thanks to a
sound economic system and skill in
finance second to none in the world,
our country avoids, except at occasional
times of extreme pressure.
We produced in the United States
last year cereal crops of the aggregate
total of 1904, 46S, 900 bushels, which
had a farm value Of S1,964,579,445, and
this year we have done much better.
With the problem of the turning Of this
produce into cash, coming upon the
regular business of the country, it will
be seen that we need much money in
circulation to keep things moving with
out hitch.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

Last spring when the subject of
paving was under discussion the city
council took the position that propedty
owners alorg street should be al
lowed to determine for themselves what
kind of pavement they should have.
Under that rule bitulithic pavement
was CHOSEN by majority of the prop
erty owners on East Alder and East
Main streets and the people were given
what they asked for.
The same rule should apply now, but
it seems that a majority of the council
for some mysterious reason that might
not look we'll in the light of day, have
changed their minds. They now ex-
press doubts of tne competency OF
property owners to select the pave
ment that is to be laid on Fourth and
of the property owners on those streets
favor asphalt pavement and this choice
uOeS 1lOl lHSSl llC opplOHoi VI -OAA
members Of the council who are appa-
rently pledged to give the Warren
that can possibly be thrown it's way.
While it is true that the Warren COM
pany is ready to bid on asphalt, il much
prefers to lay it's own peculiar, patent
ed coal-tar pavement, on which it's
profits are much greater because of the
cheaper materials.
In trying to force this pavement on
property owners in spite of their
wishes the bitulithic councilmen are
exceeding their authority and subject
ing themselves to just censure. Now
that the people have both kinds of
pavements On trial in this city prop
erty owners along any street are bet
ter able to judge for themselves which
they prefer, and if they prefer brick
or wooden pavement to asphalt or
bitulithic they should be given what
they want.
A careful examination of the btu
lithic pavement now being laid on East
Main street will enable property
owners to judge whether or not the
Warren Construction company is fol-
low ing the specifications of it's con-
tract ana whether or not they wish to
have similar work done on other streets.
This is supposed to be a government of
the people in city, state and nation
and the people of Walla Wala insist
upon exercising their prerogatives.
