WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular correspondence
Washington. ID. q Aug. 2.-The
japanese government is now III posi-
ton to get at frs t hand its information
of the killing OF Japanese pOaehers by
employees of the United States at the
seal island Of st Paul, Alaska, if it so
desires. One OF the sailing schoouers
that was engaged III The laid has re
turned home and is now In a Japanese
port with several of its crew and two
of its boats missing. The State De-
partrnent today received a dispatch
from Ambassador Wright at Toxic
forwarding report from Edward }.
King. the American consular agent at
Hakedate, which says that the Jap
ness sealing schooner Dainl Taysi,
which was ut st. Panl at the time of
the killing of the seal pnachers, has
arrived at Akishl short g. number of its
crew and two boats. The dispatch
says that she arrived on the IA ia inst.
This report is important in TWO parti-
cnlars. In the first place it definitely
establishes the fact that the ships en-
gagged in the sealing raid were actual
ly Japanese vessels and not American
or Canadian ships fitted out with Jap
anese crews and sailing under the jap
anese flag merely for the purpose of
evadiug the American and British
sealing regulations.
In an opinion rendered today the In
terstate Commerce Commission held
that the rates on lumber from Dalton,
Ca, to point in Virginia on the South
ern Railway and the Norfolk and
Western lines charged the Farrar
Luml or Company were excessive, I'M
reasonable and unjust, and that the
rates should not exceed the old rates
In force in 1901. The commission fur
ther held, however, that there had
been no violation of the long and
shorthanl clanse OF the law
United States Minister Thompson,
at Mexico, reports to the State Depart
ment that the Mexican government
had prohibited the importation of arms
and ammunition to the province of
Sonora in order to prevent them frem
falling into the hands of hostile In
dams.

HURRIBLE PUNISHMENT.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion found the G. H. s. D. Ry. guilty
of discriminating against shipper in
giving cars and last week find the rail-
road 800. The idea of that ponderous
body, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, finding a verdict of guilty
and fixing the fine ar 800, is 50 genu-
inely absurd as to almost provoke dis
gust. At the same time that body
found that it was proper and right for
a railway to charge 81 cents per hun
dred pounds On wool from Philadelphia
to Fort Wayne, Ind, and As cents per
hundred on wool from Fort Wayne,
Ind, to Philadelphia. 1t has never
struck any thinking person that the
Interstate Commerce Commission was
more than valuable adjunct to the
paraphernalia of a railroad On one
occasion the G. & O. was taken red
handed in its violation of the Sherman
act, SO much so that Mr.. Ingalls, plead
guilty. and the Commission let them
off with promises to sin no more In a
few years we look to see the Virginia
Corporation Commission equally kind.

TALK AND TRUTH DIFFER.

MIR. Roosevelt has discovered tina.
there is no connection between the
Trusts and the Tariff The potency
of this discovery and its extreme orig
inality are matters of great moment.
Now nearly all the other people have
ben asserting til { the tariff is d
breeder of trusts. Certainly where
there is no tariff there are no trusts
and vice versa. If, however, our in
fallihle president tells the country that
this is so, it must be so, just as Uncle
Joe Cannon must be the next nresi'
dent simply because Mr. Roosevelt
says so On the other hand possibly
Mr.. Roosevelt sees direct connection
between the tariff and prosperity. We
are sure he does. He also, We think,
sees direct connection between the
GOOD trusts and prosperity. If then
the trusts and the tariff are directly
connected with prosperity, why are
they not connected with each other
These are serious questions, because
the Republican party has made all good
things from the highest to the lowest.
1t caused abundant wheat crops in the
west, plenty of rain in the east. 1t
cannot, therefore, shy away from the
trusts, and hug the tariff to Its bosom
any more than it can get rid of the sur
plus of the campaign fund. or deny
truthfully that VIM. j. Bryan was
elected president in 1896 1t must ad
nit truths though of course they hurt
sometimes. In order to admit the
truth, however, they are not held to
every word MIR. Roosevelt utters, es-
pecially the above utterapee

MAN IN FOR LIFE GETS IS DAYS OFF
WHILE BEING KEPT IN JAIL-OF
FICERS PUZZLED AS TO HOW TIC
COMPLY WITH STATE LAW.
The officers Uf the State pente ntiary
are puzzled over q law enacted by tie
general assembly.
The law provides that when men are
convicted and are held in jail after be
ing sentenced because of the prevail.
ence of infections diseases. shall have
the time deduced from their terms in
the peDitentlary.
In going over the lists furnished by
the penitentiary officials it was
discovered that man had been sen.
fenced to the prison for life. aud that
he had been detained in Ill eighte en-
days. The question for the officers to
decide il. low can they take off the
eighteen days? Can they release the
man for eighteen days before putting
him in prison or will they be forced to
figure it out and let him out eighteen
days before his death ?
There are seventy-nine cOnvicts in
the various jaiis OF the State who will
get any where from eight to ninety two
days deducted from their terms, a
twenty, ear man getting eight days
off.

BLOWING BOTH HOT AND COLD.

Mr.. Roosevelt is begging the public
to retain Republican Congress in
order that the great policies" of the
party may be carried out. These great
policies are those inaugurated by him.
self as he thinks. He does not give a
fig for policies he has not inaugurated,
so when be speaks of policies be has in
bis mind "my policies. Mr.. Roose-
velt should remember that no policy
of his yet inaugurated could have be-
come law had the Democrats oppos.
ed it, or had be relied on Republican
Congress to sustain him. If Repub-
lican Congress is elected Mr.. Roose-
welt must abandon his most cherished
schemes, because Republican Con
gress will not support him in them,
and when he asks for the election of q
Republican Congress he really asks for
barrier to be placed between him and
those things he processes to be trying
to do.

Public Demonstration in Fruit Culture

Two of the greatest troubles that farm
ers and fruit growers experience in their
work is insect pests and fungus diseases.
The only wise method of controlling
these troubles is by spraying. The worst
insect pest in the State is the San Jose
scale. The Division of Zoology of the
State Department of Agriculture has sent
trained men into every county of the
state to inspect the orchards for this and
other pests. Frederick u. Hartzell has
been assigned to Forest county and he
has been inspecting orchards in the vi
cinity of Tionesta during this week, and
while he has not as yet found the San
Jose scale in this vicinity, he considers it
we'll to give a public demonstration in
spraying at Tionesta and in this manner
show the farmers and fruit growers how
and when to spray for the several insect
aud fungus troubles that may be troub-
ling them.
This demonstration will be held at the
home of j. Il. Dale in Tionesta, Saturday,
April Is, at l:3O p. m, ana is Tree 10 all.
Mr.. Ilarlzell does not act in the capacity
of agent TOR any spraying apparatus, but
gives this demonstration because he sees
the need of carefully instructing the fruit
growers in the proper method of saving
their fruit trees and their fruit. Come,
bring specimens of infested twigs, ask
questions and in this manner receive the
aid which the state offers free.

BY the recent decision of the United
States supreme court, which provides that
state cannot grant divorce when but one
party TO the marriage is resident within
its jurisdiction, and which, therefore, null
lifies all divorces granted in South Dakota
or other states where one party has gained
a temporary residence for the express pur-
pose of separation, it is estimated that at
least q, 600 children will lose their legiti-
macy. The decision, which is one of the
most sweeping in the history of the su-
preme court of the United States, was
passed by the close vote of five to four, and
will be knockout blow for the long estab-
lished and pernicious Dakota game of free

THE edict of Pope Plus y, which bans
ishes women from the choirs of all the
Catholic churches, takes effect June 10.
There had been some doubt as to whether
the Pope's order would be carried out in
all the churches in America, as it met with
considerable opposition, but such doubts
appear to have vanished by reason of latest
advices from the Vatican. After this date
the Gregorian chant will replace the music
now in vogue. The change will throw
thousands of women out of employment,
many talented yocalists being engaged in
the churches of the larger cities at high

realize that his candidacy has great strength
