higher level last year than any time for the last
eighteen years. the high points being reached in
October with the average for the entire year 25.5
per cent above the average for the ten years from
1890 TO 1899. These interesting facts CLEANED
from report just issued by the bureau OF labor of
the Department Of Commerce and Labor, contain
ing much data in connection with the economic
situation for the year 1897 in this country.
In compiling its statistics, the bureau Of labor
divides the 25s commodities of which record is
kept into nine groups, Of which farm products
showed highest increase attained by any Of the
groups the last eighteen years. All nine groups
farm products food, etc. cloths and clothing, fuel
and lighting, metals and implements, lumber and
building materials, drugs and chemicals house FUR
nishing goods and misceIlaneous-showed an in
crease in the year 1907.
The effect of the money strfngency in the latter
part Of last year is reflected in the decrease record
ed in all commodities duTirg November and Decem-
ber the average prices showing decrease Of s5
per cent from those of October OF the 25S articles

THE METALS
NEWSPAPER ETHICS.

To the newspaper profession of the
country the Lilley investigation of the
submarine boat busipess in congress
has presented a most interesting as
pect Two of the Washington CORE
spondents We're charged by Lilley with
being employed by the boat company
which was seeking contracts for sub
marine boats The correspondents ad-
mitted having accepted money from
the boat company. but denied that it
was in any sense a bride or corrupt
payment One of them had written
feature" stories of submarine boats
which were given to such newspaper
men as wished material of that sort
for publication The other had dis
tributed similar stories 10 other news
paper men, but there was no evidence
to show that either man had intended
anything corrupt or that either had at
tempted to secure the publication of
these stories in their own newspapers.
Both of these men were discharged
and the newspaper men of the country
will regard their fate as just. Both of
them were in positions where they had
to write about the contracts sought by
the submarine boat company and to
comment on the methods used in Sc
curing such contracts. The moment
they accepted pay from the company
for any purpose. however innocent
that purpose, they laid themselves I'M
der obligations which ended their use
fulness to the public and to the news
papers which employed them. Very
properly the men in the press gallery
at the capitol, who investigated the
care, reported against further admis-
sion of the two correspondents TO the
gallery; and, very properly. they are
left without standing of any kind IN
their own profession. No man can
serve two masters in newspaper work
or any other activity which involves
moral responsibility.

at Boise told the truth. the whole
Every word that fell from the lips of
the ViIcst assassin in American his
tory-tal1ing him at his own showing
was accepted by Judge Wood as
true. 1t was true that Orchard blew
up the non-union miners at the indie
pendence depot in Colorado; it was
true that he participated in the wreck
ing of the Bunker Hill mill in Ward
ner, Ida; 1t was true that he made an
all but successful attempt to assassin
ate Bradley in San Francisco. And it
was also true that he butchered Gov
ernor Steunenberg.
We could better understand Judge
Woods suggestion for clemency if he
ards testimony; if he had said that
Orchard seemed to him a poor, de-
mented crank with a. special mania for
posing as the perpetrator of horrible
man who has almost literally waded
in the blood of dozens of innocent VIC
tins is TO take an extraordinary atti-
tude. Two juries composed of Idaho
men have said that they did not be-
lieye Orchard. How can Judge Wood
reasonably expect, years hence, to find
a jury that will convict anybody upon
his testimony?
If Orchard is given a life sentence
there viii always remain in the public
mind a suspicion that he entered into
trade with the idaho prosecutors;
and the public will be pardoned if 1t
believes that the plan is, after he has
remained in prison for a few years, to
set him free. Meanwhile Frank Steu-
nenberg, the biggest, bravest public Of
ficer the state of Idaho has ever pro-
duced, lies unavenged in the little
burying ground at Caldwell.

cLEmENcY FOR ORCHARD.

IL begins TO look as if nobody will
suffer capital punishment for the as
sassinati0n of Ex-Governor Frank
Steunenberg of Idaho. At Caldwell
Yesterday Judge Fremont Wood, who
presided over the trials of Haywood
and Pettibone. sentenced Harry Orch
ard, the confessed murderer of Steu-
nenberg. to death. fixing May Is as
the date of the execution. At the same
time he announced that he would rec
ommend that the state board of par
dons commute the sentence to life i'm
prisonment. This course viii likely be
adopted.
The reason advanced by Judge
Wood will be regarded by the average
layman as rather lame. 1t is In effect
that. at some future time, some vague
and indefinite distant date, some one
or more of the men Implicated by
Orchard in the long series of cruel
murders 10 which he confessed, may
become conscience stricken and admit
his part in the crime. In that case the
testimony OF Orchard may be needed,
although in the next breath Judge
Wood admits that 1t is impossible to
convict one aecomplice upon the tes-
tinlony of another accomplice. Rather
far fetched reasoning, isn't il? Judge
Wood unequivocally expressed his be-
lief that Orchard on the witness stand

OF SENATOR WHITE.

In the death of Senator William
Pinkney Whyte of Maryland another
statesman of the old school passes
was nearly "a years old. For more
than sixty years, beginning as mem
Der of the Maryland legislature, he
was almost continuously before the
public. And he served his people
faithfully and well. He went into his
work clean-handed. clear-eyed
youth; he laid it down with his hands
still unsoiIed. his brain still clear. his
conscience unblunted.
Senator Whyte was born in Mary
land in 1924. His home city was Bal
timore. He early determined to be-
come a lawyer, and won degree of
doctor of laws at Harvard. From the
beginning of his practice he was inter-
ested in public affairs. We find him,
after his shingle had been hung out
for a year elected TO the legislature at
the age of %. In 1858 he stepped into
his first state office, being elected
NbAAAPNAbAAIA VI MAI ldiil III 1000 lie
declined a reelection and for a period
devoted himself to the practice of his
profession
In 1857, however, his services were
again demanded by his party and he
entered the race for congress against
the KnowNOthing candidate. On the
face Of the returns he was defeated.
A contest was instituted on his behalf
and the house committee, on elections
reported in his favor. The report was
defeated. though, by a small majority.
and MIR. Whyte was denied the seat
he had fairly won. An incident typical
of the mans whole life Is related IN
connection with this contest.
As is generally known, contestants
of seats in either house OF congress are
nearly always allowed a liberal sum
of money, usually about s., OOO for con-
test expenses. This amount was ap-
propriated for the ese and benefit of
Mr.. Whyte, but he refused to accent
it. on the ground that il would not be
proper for him to receive pay for doing
that which his conscience had prompt
ed him to do. This is believed to be
the only case of its kind in the whole
history of the United States. During
the next few years. save as a delegate
to national conventions, Mr.. Whyte
did not figure prominently in politics.
In 1868, when Senator Beverly john
son was appointed minister to Great
Britain, Mr.. Whyte was appointed to
succeed him, serving until 1859. He
was elected governor of Maryland in
1871, resigning to take his seat in the
senate. There he served until 1881.
During the years between his retire
ment from the senate and his reap
pointment on the death of Senator
German, Senator Whyte filled a large
place in the affairs of his native state.
He will be sorely missed there and
elsewhere.
