1t has always been known
that there was an abundance Of

the millsite on McGovern hill
lies so far above the water line
that there was little expectation
of finding placer gold there in
any quantity. An application
will probably be made to the

CONGRESS-.

The National Irrigation Con-
gress wlich convened at Boise
City, Idaho, a short time ago
has brought forth from the pub
lie press floods of ridicule forl
the selfish manner in which it
denounced the proposals to al
low Philippine sugar to be i'm
ported at reduced rates. Ger
tainly the congress merited crit
icism. The purpose Of the con-
vention was to discuss means
and measures for extending the
great national work of reclaim
ing the barren districts of our
western country and not forthe
furtherance Of any personal
projects. The needs Of the Fill
.ipinos are more pressing than
the needs Of rich capitalists and
spectators who are looking for
ward to the time when they can
m%onopolize the sugar beet in
dustry. They forsee a POSSIBLE
ity Of strong competition be-
tween the Filipino product and
their own and with them fore
armed is forewarned. At least
while the Flipinos are in our
care they should be entitled to
some Of the advantages of our
benevolent assimilation. They
shouldb be givena chance to COM
pete with our home Industries.
To bar them out with heavy
rates and duties is the persona
|fication Of selfishness.
The National Irrigation Con-
gress would haveleft a far more
favorable impression if it had
skillfully avoided this topic and
had busted itself a little more
with the more important issues
lin the case. In such a
convention personal interests
should be Of secondary and not.
primary Importance.

First Of all, we owe our in
dependence to French interfer-
ence and aud just as the Cubans
are indebted to us for their free
dom. For what would have
been the outcome of the York
town affair had not the French
fleet cut off all hopes Of the
British retreat. Consider
the absolute SALVATION that the
French money rendered our
weak and dilapidated treasury.
Think Of the advantage and
the refuge French posts gave
our privateers.
Mob scenes and riots We're
more frequent IN our own early
existence than in the whole his
tory Of the Cuban revolt.
Cowardice was as frequently dis
played. While a few Cuban
have proven traitors it is diff
cult to estimate the number OF
Americans that abandoned tt
cause Of liberty and received
reward for their treacheli
Benedict Arnold and Lee were
only the more prominent trait
ors. When our literary artists
so skillfully depict the redicu-
lous appearance Of the half
naked, barefooted Cuban SOL
diers they seem to forget the
blood stained foot prints on the
field of Trenton and Valley
Forge.
The five years following the
Revolution was a period of chaos
which John Fiske called "the
most critical period in all the
history Of the American peo-
pie" Cuba is passing through
a similar difficulty at the present
time. She too will Grub
through" and some day stand
side by side with his noble
guardian. She too, will love
and revere the stars and stripes
and will hail them as a symbol
Of liberty and independence.
Let us not be harsh with ou1
COMBINATIONS for our strug-
Cling neighbor. Let us not
crush her fondest hopes with
undue criticisms, for as we Sc
lect only the bad in THEN annals
SO they mayAsome day choose
our own universities to condemn
and criticise.

Wichita, Kans,. Jan. S.-The

THE OIL MEMS
INVESTIGATION

New York. Jan. S.-Mrs. Butts,
who is a good witness for the pros
ecution, resumed the stand
at the oil hearing today. She
testified regarding the formation
of the present Standard Oil Com
paly of New Jersey. She had the
stock certificates she held read
and put into the record, over the
objections of the Standards coun-
sci. The latter declard this was
done for the benefit of the press,
and without material bearing on
the case.
H. c. HardcaStle, a former
Standard employee was called.
He worked in the company's ac-
counting department at Albany
eight years. He was then sent to
Cleveland, where he went to work
for the Republic oil company, be-
ing called by a telegram from
Jennings, "a member of the do
nestle trade committee of the
Standard.
This witness testified that Jen-
nings previously introduced Hard
castle to W. H. Tilford, one of the
executive heads of the Standard.
Tilford told him the Standard had
just bought out Schofeld, Schri-
mer and Teazfe, and recognized
it under the name of the Republic
Co.
''Tilford told me" the witness
said, Il was not to be known as a
Standard man, or that | ever was
connected with the Standard"
He further said c. l.. Nichols,
Jennings secretary, was presi-
dent of the Republic Oil Co., with
his Office at 26 Broadway. Walter
Teazle, a member of the firm
bought out, was at present mem
Der of the Standard committee on
domestic trade. W. T. Mckee,
auditor of the Republic, was for
mer auditor of the Standard.
Hardcastle told of trade trips
made, and said the Republic man.
ayers were under standing orders
to represent the Republic as an in
dependent company. Its object
was to get the trade the Standard
oOuld not get. The Republic re
ports were sent to No. IS New
street, which is a back door to q
Broadway. The Republic get.
its oil from the Standard. Tinsley
and Backus, Standard officials, be
came officials of the Waters-PiercC
Oil Co.. in 1894. The witnes.
said he was asked to resign. Jen
nings offered him a ticket t
Europe, without return coupon
which he declined.
Rogers was again called today
He was still a fountain of humor
but Saharah of information il
the oil business.

suitable place were provided for them.
either on this continent or another.
and they should show Willingness
to emigrate. we believe the Govern
ment would he doing wise act and
performing solemn duty. IL 1t would
provide for their removal The South
ern people, at all events, do not wish
to see the negroes sent away empty
handed. nor do we want them dumped
down where they will have no oppor-
tunity to support themselves. But II
proper place can be provided for
them and they can be induced to so
willingly, we are persuaded that our
Government would act wisely. II 1T
should spend fifty millions year
settle them satisfactorily in new
and congenial home.
But again the question comes up
what is to be done il they refuse to go?
II some Moses would rise up who would
lead them out as the original Moses
led the children of Israel out of Egypt
it would be we'll. but we know OF no
law which will permit us to drive them
out as those same Israelites drove TIE
heather from the lands the favored in
vaders wanted. We have no more legal
and constitutional right to drive them
out than we have to drive out any
other race from among US. If the time
comes when this must be done as a
measure of self preservation. it will
be a horrible alternative.
We really believe that If a home were
provided for them, and II the Gov
eminent would provide for their en-
igration and also make provision for
them to establish themselves there.
many of them would go willingly and
gladly Perhaps Carlyle Mckinley was
much too optimistic when he argued
that all could be removed and settled
in decade. but it is more than prob
able that within that period so many
of them would depart willingly that
the congestion here would be removed
and all danger of race troubles elm
mated for good. And it might also he
that if those who emigrate find good
homes and satisfactory conditions, their
representations would so influence 9th
ers that they also would go to join
their friends and kindred in their new
land of promise.
Much has been said and written, as
we are well aware, about injury to
ths country by the departure of the
negroes, but this we look on as need
less apprehension. If they should de-
part at once, the whole of them, it
would naturally be great blow to
the industries of the south. but If they
should depart gradually, requiring ten
or twenty years for their removal
their places would be filed by other
labor, and no harm would come OF it
in the end, but rather much good.
Whatever way we look at the ques-
ton, however. it is plain that some
thing must be done, and that before
many years have elapsed, unless
wonderful change takes place among
the negroes themselves.
