A primary election law worked by candidates id ' no Improvement on a convention system controlled the same way. The best guarantee fur the success of a labor strike is the support of public -opinion, and this means a basis for the etflk in equity and moral.-'. Former Senator David II. Hill says he regards the platform of the Ohio Democrats as "a step in the right direction." In the direction of David Ii.? If the contending brewers are able to close the. saloons on Sundays, as is threatened, they will do better than the police authorities, but the beer-makers are in earnest. It is announced on apparently good authorlty that the national headquarters of the Democratic party will be removed soon from Chicago to Washington. Perhaps this is part of the plan to get rid of the original tlgraa of nominating Bryan. Lord Tauncefote, British ambassador to the United States, was verv reticent while In this country, but h? talks quite freely on the other side. It is but fair to say that his expressions. while diplomatically guarded, are very friendly to the United States. Forto Rlcan politics are getting quite lively, with a prospect that territorial government will be a leading issue in the near future. . It may be that the island ought to remain in a state of tutelage a little longer, but It should bo the policy of the United Etates to establish territorial government as soon as possible. The opponents of the death penalty may well be discouraged In view of the fact that m Colorado, which abolished the death penalty in 1SD7, restored it last year, and that Iowa and Minnesota, which repealed It a few years ago, have since returned to it. Only four States do not have capital punishment: Maine, Rhode Island, Michigan and Wisconsin. The renewed effort to create the Impression that Covernor Durbln is quietly using his Influence to postpone the dedication of the Soldiers Monument is based upon the fact that a well-known veteran wrote a letter to Colonel Walker of his own free will in which he expressed the opinion that the dedication should be postponed. The month for the dedication has been fixed, and there Is no disposition to change It. The executive committee will meet on Monday, when it Is probable that committees will be made up. The chief question, however, is the 'alslng of the money to meet the expenses of the dedication. The fault-finders and rumor-makers set m not to consider this mot Important topic. The postmaster gcnernl has issued three orders relative to the abuses of the law providing for a low rate for newspapers and periodicals regularly published, known as second-class matter. These rules are reasonable. Why should almanacs, novels and reprints of standard authors long !nce dead be given the low rates designed for newspapers and periodicals containing Information of current Importance? Why should publications which are purely advertising schemes, and which are taken for the premium offered, be regarded in the same light as newspapers which are subscribed for and paid for by the subscribers? Why should unsold newspapers and publications be returned to publishers as second-class matter? There can be but one answer to these questions, Bnd that answer Is that the postmaster general is right in excluding such publications from the second-class rate as are not entitled to it.

The orders will save the postal service fromJjL'ncU Sara Is not the best man with the

I3.ooo.oro to $S.nc:-,oro a year almost. If not quite, putting the service on a self-paying basis. But. righteous as are the orders of the postmaster general, the public should be prepared to hear a frightful howl from those whose business Is affected. The howlers cannot annul the orders, but they will have a lobby In Washington which will make a desperate effort to undo the good work which the postmaster general has begun.

Tin: steel workers' strike. President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Association, said on Wednesday: "We have, not heard from the other side at any time, in any way or on any subject since the clo?? of our conference last Saturday." This disposes of the report that the steel association had made overtures for arbitration. A later dispatch quotes Mr. Schwab, president of the association, as saying that it did not desire arbitration; that the association stood ready to grant the demands of the men as to hours and wages, but as the men were "striking for a sentiment" there was nothing to arbitrate. The secretary of the Ohio State Hoard of Arbitration says he has made several appeals to President Shaffer to have the whole question submitted to arbitration, but has had no definite answer from Mr. Shaffer. Thus the situation seems to be a decided deadlock. In which one Hide or the other will have to surrender its contention. It appears also that the strikers are expecting overtures for arbitration to come from the association, while the latter has no idea of either making or accepting such overtures. The "sentiment' referred to by Mr. Schwab as furnishing the basl3 of the strike is a demand that certain mills nov nonunion shall be unionized. This Is correctly characterized as a sentiment. It does not relate to any alleged grievance of the strikers nor Involve a question of hours or wages. Compliance with the demand would not better their condition in any respect whatever. The most that could be claimed is that it would strengthen the union and improve its chances of enforcing compliance with future demands. The attitude of the strikers is an aggressive one against the employers. The latter are not making any war on the union. They' do not propose to convert union mills into nonunion mills nor to draw any new lines against the union. All they ask is that the present status be continued, under which in certain mills nonunion men are employed and treated on an equality with union men. A representative of one at the largest interests In the steel corporation, a nonunion one, said a few days ago: The question between the strikers and the company has nothing to do with wages or hours, both of which are equal to if not better than the union scale.- The single item of importance in the demand of the strikers is the insistence that nonunion men employed in nonunion mills on union wages sljall be discharged by the company if they do not Join a union. The steel corporation officers have taken their position in Hat opposition to that demand and do not propose to change it. For the steel corporation to have made any other decision would have meant that It had no future. For our own sakes we were compelled to right this movement. Should the demands of the association at any time become tco exorbitant we should have to rely upon the nonunionists for protection. Without that protection we should be constantly subjected to tyranny. This Indicates the sentiment which Mr. Schwab says Js the basis of the strike. From a disinterested roint of view the sentiment does net seem to have any good moral basis or to furnish any adequate cause for a strike so injurious to business Interests as the present one. AN OL EVIL. The testimony taken by the committee of which Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts, was chairman, and Mr. Overstreet. of this district, was a member, was presented to the House on Feb. 28, and it has been given to the public by the national civil service committee. This testimony is about the same as could have been taken by a House committee of any Congress in twenty-five years. Men are employed who are not needed, and men are paid who render little service. The Moody committee made no suggestion in the way of a remedy. The pressure is probably greater upon members of both parties every year, because, under a bad system, an evil grows. Doubtless the piteous appeals of persons who have been employed, and of those who go to Washington with letters seeking places will continue to be made and be effective until Congress adopts some remedy which will shut out inefficiency and secure competent em ployes, ine same evil appears in every Legislature, no matter which party is in control. It appears in most city govern ments, and often in state governments. Indiana has rid Itself of the evil to a large extent by its nonpartisan control of its in stitutlons. In one case cited by the commit tee a man who had been In place under Democratic control was found a position because he had a wife and six or eight children. Doubtless Democrats, if appealed to by Republicans, would provide for a Re publican mendicant under similar condi tions. The real evil, however, begins far awav from Washington in every community In the country. To get rid of work, or to get easy and genteel employment is a too prev alent desire. Young men get something of an education which does not lit them for the great industrial employments upon which the welfare of the country depends; they look for something else, and wait and wait. Public employment is suggested. An unfortunate few find it, and thereafter three-fourths of them are doomed to wretchedness. Just now the Census Bureau is closing up its work what will become of the two thousand clerks and employes who will be turned adrift? And yet, those who secured those places, a little over a year ago, were deemed fortunate. The late James CI. Blaine, when he grad uated, asked his uncle. Judge Ewlng, who was at that time secretary of the Interior, for a clerkship. The uncle refused, saying that he could not do him so great a wrong as to put him in such a position, but he offered him a half section of land, or to assist him In getting any occupation outside the public service. Mr. Blaine regarded it as one of the fortunate circumstances in his life. What a godsend it would be for the thousands who seek public employment as the one thlrg, if most of them had half or quarter section of land! What a great good It would be if considerate friends would point out to those who seem determined to And employment about public offices that there i no surer road to poverty and humiliating dependence. A few days ago the Boston Globe published figures showing the value of agricultural products exported to other countries by the United States, and declared that "Uncle Sam Is the best man with the hoe." As a matter of fact. It is because

hoe. as that Implement Is known In New England and the Sast, that he is able to feed those who cannot raise their own bread. The farmers who raise wheat, corn, cattle and hogs have very little to do with the hot, meaning the primitive contrivance for stirring the surface of the earth. If the hand hoe, such as is so much used in the limited agriculture of New England and by gardeners, were much used in the corn and wheat belts, millions of people

woul! go hungry and many thousands would be compelled to leave manufacturing and other industries and stek the farms to cultivate with the hoe the crops necessary to feed the cities. The hoe is an im plement of the past. It is doubtful if such a utensil can be found on some farms. More are used in the limited agriculture of New England than In all the great foodproducing States. Possibly the Boston paper used the word hoe as the emblematic utensil of agriculture, but It means nothing. Corn, even, is no longer hoed, but plowed, and the most advanced implement permits the man who plows corn to rldo with a canopy over his head. The scythe and the cradle, like the hoe, are utensils of the past. Farming is done by machinery as much as Is the making of iron or cotton goods. In no department of industry has the machine taken the placo of so much severe, slow and killing manual labor as in agriculture. The communication of Councilman Daller, printed yesterday, painfully lays bare the defect which has made so many Councils unsatisfactory. It is that they contain so many members who cannot grasp a fair proposition. They cannot see that the ircterurban lines will bring to the city from other cities thousands of people who will spend their money in the stores and places of business of Indianapolis. Except the wholesale trade, there Is not a line of trade, from the large retail stores to the restaurants, which will not be benefited by the people which these lines would bring. All these places of business employ hundreds of men and women who will be indirectly benefited by the visitors from other cities. Now, all that is asked is that, to keey tho outgoing cars on the interurban lines j from being crowded at the hour when many people are going home, so that people desiring to go to Anderson, Muncie and a score of towns may not be crowded out, is to charge a 5-cent fare. A resident of the city can get another car in a few minutes, but those who live along the interurban lines must wait an hour before they can get one. For city people a short wait is no hardship, but for those who must wait an hour it is. This is all the question that is involved. There i3 good reason to believe that the intelligent people of Indianapolis, who will be generally benefited, will not be blinded by the demand that all cars carry passengers at the tame rate, when the interurban cars are intended for people outside the limits of tho Indianapolis Street-railway Company a fact already set forth by their charters and builders. A recent issue of the Manila Times contains an account of the opening of the normal school in that city. It says that up to date 420 teachers had been enrolled from twenty-five different provinces and islands, and 126 applicants were waiting to be enrolled. As all of these were native Filipinos the figures indicate encouraging Interest in education. All accounts agree that the natives are responding with alacrity to the efforts of the United States to educate them. Colonel Rice, of Boston, who is home cn a visit from the Philippines, says: They are all anxious to learn English. They think that the United States is a wonderful Nation, and they cannot understand how it is that our government sends them teachers and books. They are used to the Spanish system, which was the same that was used in this country in slavery days. Just as our slave rMvners thought that their safety lay in keeping the negroes ignorant, so the Spaniards thought that the natives of the Philippines must be kept in Ignorance or there would be serious rebellion. Schools have now been established in almost every town throughout the islands, and they are doing more than anything else to suppress the revolt. Wherever a school is opened the natives men, women and children Hock to it in crowds, and ask io be taugtit English. At this rate the Filipinos will soon be better Americans than those who are now encouraging them in disloyalty. OMBBSBBSBaSaSSSBaiaBBSBBBBBBaaBMBMBSSBBBBMBBSSBIBBBBSlSBiSBBBlBaBaBaa As a timely story the silly season has not produced anything more thrilling or acceptable than that of the rescue of a beautiful girl from death by freezing by a toboggan slide across unexplored canyons and glaciers in the Sierra Nevada range. The story is admirably suited to hot weather localities, but it is almost too picturesque to bo true. It does not require a scientific knowledge of meteorology to conclude from recent data that the sun is still the center of the solar system and of heat. FROM HITHER AND YON. Hnmlln'a Soliloquy.

July lS.-The United States Civil Commission announced to-day that after three months trial of a provincial form of government in the islands of Cobu and Bohol and the province of Batangas, Luzon, control of these districts, owing to their incomplete pacification, has been returned to the military authorities, it having been proved that the communities are backward and undeserving of civil administration. The provincial and civil officials of these designated districts will continue their functions but are now under the authority of General Chaffee instead of that of Civil Governor Taft, as heretofore. General Chaffee has the power arbitrarily to remove from office any or all provincial or civil officials and to abrogate any section of the laws promulgated in these three provinces. The residents of the island of Cebu have protested against the return of that island to military control. Several towns In Cebu are still besieged by the insurgents. The insurrection on the island of Eohol has been renewed, and Insurgent sentiment in xne province 01 uaiangas is Firon. General Chaffee has ordered a battalion of the Thirtieth Infantry to begin the occupation of the island of Mindoro. The province of Calanagas will be occupied by the entire Twentieth Infantry. H. Phelps Whltmarsh, Governor of Penguet province, who was recently ordered to Manila for investigation of certain charges against him. presented his side of the case to the United States Philippine Commission at its executive session to-day. Mr. Whitmarsh denied every charge made against him. The result of the commission's action in the matter will be known Saturday. WILL GO TO 31 AX I LA.

A provision has been added empowering the chief of the system and either of the district assistants to temporarily consolidate constabularies of two or more provinces, in cases of necessity. Inspection and discipline of the municipal police will also be controlled by constabulary department. OHIO DAY AT BUFFALO. Speech ly Senator Uunnn on Commercial Relation of This Continent. BUFFALO, N. Y., July IS. Ohio day wii go down in Pan-American records as one of the biggest days at the exposition. It will be memorable in several ways, but chiefly because of the many distinguished men and the multitude of representative citizens that Ohio sent here to celebrate for her. Promptly at 11 o'clock Governor Nash, with his party, under escort of the Eighth Ohio Regiment, arrived at the Lincoln Parkway gate and entered the grounds on foot. President Illlburn was with the governor. Senator Hanna walked beside J. N. Adams, chairman of tho committee on state and foreign repsentatives. The building was filled. The aisles and tho galleries were crowded. The appearance of Governor Nash set the Ohio people cheering. Senator Foraker. to the great disappointment of many, did not come. Seats on the platform had been reserved for the Ohio party and all were soon seated. Daniel J. Ryan, of Columbus, president of the day. Introduced Bishop Arnet of WUberford University, who delivered the opening prayer. Mme. Genevera Johnston Bishop sang, after which Director General Buchanan made a short address of welcome. Gov ernor Nash responded briefly and turned over the Ohio building to the Ban-Americans. After other speeches. Senator Han na spoke on the "Commercial Relations of the American continent. Alter eulogizing the Pan-American exposition, he said the men who conceived the Idea of holding the exposition deserved great praise for having the Pan-American at this time, just when the United States is taking the lead In In dustrial enterprises. "Let us make trade ex tensions a great movement," Bald he, "and let this Pan-American exposition be the be ginning; let us see that nothing comes be tween us and closer relationship with South American countries.' ine senator was cheered enthusiastically when he finished WINDFALL FOR GEORGIANS.

The feature of the constitutional convention to-day was the prayer, delivered by the Rev. George H. Spooner. a Methodist minister. When he alluded to the proposition to expunge from the bill of rights the words "Christian charity," he used this language: "We thank Thee that this is not a pagan state. that it is not Confucian nor a Mohamme dan state, but a Christian state and a part

of a great Christian nation. We thank Thee that the principles of the divine Christ are woven Into the fabric of the

aws which form the foundation of our greatness. We thank Thee that the word christian Is inscribed upon the standard of the constitution and that in the hearts of her true citizenship Virginia will ever honor it. RETURN OF SAMUEL HILL. lis Observations in Russia While Circling the Globe. SEATTLE, Wash.. July lS.-Samuel Hill. third vice president of the Great Northern, arrived here yesterday from the Orient, after completing a trip entirely around the world. He traveled from Moscow. 'Russia. across the Transflberlan Railroad to Vladlvostock, and later visited Nagasaki. Yokohama and other Oriental ports. He de clared that he found the products of Washngton. Oregon. California and Alaska one thousand miles in the Interior of Siberia. American trade relations, he asserts, have been seriously crippled with Russia owing to the action of the American government, although, he added, the general disposition of Russians is to welcome American products. The primary object of the journey was the creation of trade connections n ine Orient by which the Great Northern might become the beneficiary, this being one of the favorite enterprises of the railway In question through its Japanese steamship connections. Mr. Hill asserts hat there is an ever-growing and thriving trade between the Pacitic coast and the Orient, which has received a check, owing to the action of our government with Russia, but which is replete with incalculable opportunities if properly taken advantage of. GIRL SAVED BY A HERO PROFESSOrt SrELFKESII'S DAKIX'G SLIDE DOWX A GLACIER. Board I'sed as n Toboggan and the Unconscious Form of Miss Hanson Lashed to the Man's Body. TACOMA. Wash.. July IS. Unconscious, borne over crevasses and glaciers in the arms of companions, and finally, when hope was almost gone, saved by the daring invention and heroic feat of one man who turned himself into a human toboggan. Miss Bethel llawson, of Demoss, Ore., arrived below the snow line on Mount Hood Wednesday night, after a descent unparalleled In the history of mountain climbing. Miss Rawsc-n was one of a party of twenty-five who started to make the ascent of Mount Hood Wednesday morning. The climb to the crater is a desperate one. At noon, when the party had reached a point three hundred yards below the crater rock, a blizzard swept over the peak. Exhausted by the climb and overcome by the intense cold. Miss Rawson became unconscious. The sleet and rain was so thick the climbers could not see the length of their guide line. The men nearest Miss Rawson picked up her unconscious form and dragged and carried her to a sheltered spot thirty yards below the crater. Calls were sent for assistance from those who had already reached the summit, and the men rushed down and carried Miss Rawton and her companion, miss juna naii, who was still able to walk, to a more sheltered spot, where an effort was made to revive the unconscious girl. Stimulants and chafing failed. It became apparent to all that, unless Mls3 Rawson was re moved speedily from the high altitude and the bitter cold, she must perish. The descent from the summit is a perilous one even to a party bound together by the guide lines, with spiked t-ho s and alpenstocks, and the task of carrying the girl down seemed an almost impossible one. The girl was carried by two of the strong est men, while the others drove tneir alpenstocks deep into the ice and braced themselves to keep the entire party from sliding to destruction. The cold wis growing greater with every minute. The slope was so treacherous and precipitous that the journey was hlled with almost increuioie ditliculty and hardship. The party was forced to make frequent stops. Finallv the great snow held below the crater was reached. By this time the men had begun to fear that Miss Rawson would never survive the journey and the need of getting her to shelter and warmth became every minute more imperative. The party halted in despair. Then Professor McElfresh, of Corvallis, Ore., suggested that a sled be built out of a rough board on which Miss Rawson had been carried for a time and the heavy sacks in which she had been wrapped to save her from freezing. The suggestion was adopted at once. Using ropes and twine, handkerchiefs and cloth from clothes, a rude sled was hastily improvised. Professor McElfresh offered to be strapped to the board and to carry the girl while tne other men of the party propelled the sled over the snow. Professor McElfresh. in a sitting position, clung to the girl while the others tugged and pulled. The scheme was tried for perhaps half an hour, but It was seen the girl could not stand the exposure much longer and survive. The party again halted, exhausted, in the snow. Beiow them stretched over a mile of unbroken snow, sloping swiftly down to the timber line, where safety lay. Professor McElfresh then came forward with another suggestion. He proposed to make himself a human toboggan, to hold the girl in his arms while he. stretched on and strapped to the plank, would make the attempt to coast down the mountain side. As there was no other chance the party accepted the suggestion, dangerous as It was. Professor McElfresh, stretched at full length, was tightly bound to the board, ropes were rigged that he might have a chance to guide his toboggan, then Miss Rawson's unconscious body was strapped tightly down upon his prostrate form, feet to feet and body to body. The other men poised the toboggan on the edge of the steep, gave It a shove and the man and girl shot out over the glacier and down through the snow. The descent was made like a flash. When the timber line was reached the professor, cutting himself loose, worked over the girl until the rest of the party made the descent. Then the party carried Miss Rawson to the Mazma camp, wnre the women took the eirl in charge, wrapped her in hot blankets, placed hot water bottles to her feet and poured stimulants and hot broth between ner lips until consciousness returned. Later Dr. Young, of Seattle, was summoned and to-day Miss Rawson is rapidly recovering from her terrible experi ence. COMMERCIAL CONGRESS. Trnnsmlsslsnlppl Delegates Pass Vo luminous Resolutions. CRIPPLE CREEK. Col., July lS.-The transmississippl commercial congress to day completed the most Important of Its work, adopted resolutions covering a multl tude of subjects and selected St. Paul as the next place of meeting. The only de bate of the session which at any time threatened to disturb the harmony of the occasion came up over the resolutions pro posing the establishment of government departments of mining and of commercial Industry. The friends of the former feared that the adoption of the latter would be inimical to their hopes, the danger being that the mining industry might be rele gated to a bureau of the other department Finallv on motion of ex-Governor Prince. of New Mexico, the industrial feature was stricken from the resolution advocated by the Eastern delegates and both depart' ments were then unanimously Indorsed Government aid In the reclamation of and lands was strongly urged, and the restore tion of the merchant marine was advocated In general terms. Harbor and river improvements were recommended. Including a deep waterway connecting the great lakes with the Mississippi river. Among other subjects advocated were the Immediate construction of a Pacific cable and the Nicaragua canal; that the interstate-commerce law be amended: the abolition of the fee system in the consular service; laws to encourage the beet sugar industry; an intercontinental railway, and the restoration of the merchant marine. Provision was made for the appointment of a committee of five to lav the matters berore tne next congress.
