water commission last night the bid
Of w. A. Goodin to place not less
than 5000 yards of earth in the ra-
vine north of the reservoir was re-
jected, Mr., Goodin's bid was for IS
cents cubic yard and was the only
one offered. ]. G, Kelley, of Port
land, the consulting engineer, submit
ted plan for strengthening the north
side of the reservoir, for which the
5000 cubic yards of earth had been
advertised for Mr.. Kelley's plan con-
templates the placing of drains there
and to make small fill, which prob
ably can be done by wheelbarrows,
and this work would hardly cost more
than couple OF hundred dollars.
The commission decided to act on
this plan. On the northside Of the
reservoir small slide has apparently
started in the earth used as an en-
bankment, and this Is where the work

BOUGHT AND SOLD.

The late William c.. Whitney, ence
secretary Of the navy, obtained from
the surface railroad in New
York $500, 900, which is understood to
have been devoted to political purposes.
Later ne obtained from that company
$50, 600, which went, it is believed, to
secure the election of a certain judgein
pany sent by messenger twenty 81 900
| bills to Chairman Odell of the Republi-
can State committee and $16, 700 to
Tammany Hall. The Republicans
were expected to serve the company at
Albany, while Tammany was expected
to guard it at home. The big sum of
$500, 900 was advanced by Messrs. Whit
ney, Ryan, Widener, Dolan n Elkins,
all of whom are trolley magnates, Or
rather were, for Mr.. Whitney is dead.
This money vas subsequently repaid
to the fly mon, and so adroitly was the
business transacted that the destination
of it cannot be traced. It was spent in
the presidential election of 1900, how
ever, beyond all reasonable doubt, and
it is beyond doubt also that not a dol
lar of it went to subbort Mr.. Bryan in
that year of slush and vote buying.
The subject has been brought before
a New York grand jury, but SO cum
ningly lave the statutes bearing on the
subject been drawn that none Of the
payments for political purposes made
by the Metropolitan street railway
come within the letter of the criminal
statutes of New York State. And let
Mr.. Whitney said in black and white
that the money in question was spent
for political campaign purposes for
the benefit OF the road". The money
of investors vas in that way distracted
to be spent in carrying elections. Such
work is not, however, criminalin New
York. IT it we're, there would be few
magnates left in New York, and the
pen at Sing Sing would be full of them.
The entire affair calls for a campaign
publicity act, to the end thai all fnan-
eial transactions of campaign commit
tees shall be made public. The use of
corporate funds for poplitical purposes
should be absolutely forbidden by State
and nation, and until that is lone cor
ruption funds will be rolled up and cleo
tions will be bought and sold, and the
voice OF the people will b. losti in a flood
of corrupt corporate money.

We have shut out Chinese coolies,

It is now known that Chinese iron

the development of them is near at

NEED NOT ALARM US.

May options are today selling at
less than 8 cents in New Orleans and
middling spots at about 10 cents. This
is a fall from the best prices of the sea-
a fall is, indeed, a crash that is felt on
the farms where cotton is still held.
What a bumper crop next fall would
lead to we need not consider.
The decline in prices has beer brought
about by the general condition of trade.
A slackened demand for goods has
placed the staple at the mercy of the
mills. In hard times people can wear
old clothes, but wheat and corn cannot
be treated in that manner. This, no
doubt, is why we have 81 wheat and g.
cent cotton. The prices of wheat and
corn have been we'll maintained, while
the prices of cotton have gone down
from day to day, and the Q a is that
the bottom has not beer reached.
OF all years this is the one in which
the South should endeavor to make it's
own corn, and as nearly as may be its
own meat. If we do that the prices for
cotton need not alarm us. If we do
that, our farmers can hold a portion OF
their cotton, and that would bring the
the mills, both foreign and domestic,
to an improved appreciation If the sit
uation.

to do the trick.
Sunday morning Mr. Lawrence Lee

The ad cost Mr.. Lee As cents. Last
night he wandered int the business
office and walked out again with eight
replies from eight confectionery mon
who wanted the position offered. The
rate per reply was a little NOR" than
five cents each, Five cents is pretty
cheap for the right. man,
When we have time we can give you
an example like this every day. The

Why?
Because the Morning journal has

This was the confident statement
made tonight by John Redmond, the
noted Irish nationalist leader and
member of the United Irish league in
Boston. New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago.
Nothing has done so much to bring
the British cabinet to a tolerant view
of the Irish home rule question: con
tiuued Mr.. Redmond, "as the open
sympathy which the public men Of the
United states have voiced for our
cause. The public opinion of the
world and particularly of the Anglo
Saxon race has shamed the British
cabinet into making concessions to the
cause Of home rule, which in their
aggregate constitute almost a revolu-
ton.

Mr.. Dedmhnd was asked to give his
opinion of the importance and value
Of the Sim Fcin movement which
also proclaims self-gOVernmCnt for
Ireland as it's chief object, and replied
thar in Ireland the movement mad no
following to amount to anything.
