SEATTLE IS SOBBING.
Seattle lias commenced to cry be
cause she sees some of tie gold
shipments diverted to California
Tbe idea that miners who produc
the gold have any rights in the mat
ter of such shipments, or that any
other community has any right to re
ceive it seems to the purblind bus
iness rnea of the "apirit city" an out
rage.
Not content with demanding all
the material profits that could be
wrung out of the people of the North,
she for years busied herself In the
politics of Washington City, and
through a coterie of petty politicians
heki the political power in her hands
by which she dictated the personnel
of the carpet, bag government with
which the country has been cursed.
Only reeutly her representative in
congress. \V. H. Humphrey, in reply
to an urgent demand on the part of
the commercial bodies that had caught
a faint glimmer of the light, to lend
his aid to the home rule bill for Al
aska. had the effrontery to wire
back, that he would "give the matter
his careful consideration."
This same Humphrey, no doubt
will be rewarded in time by going to
the Senate. When he despaired of
being elected during the last cam
paign, the immense pressure brought
to bear on the Washington delegation
by Alaskans in Seattle, to work for
home rule for Alaska, wrung from
him the pledge of his unqualified sup
port of the measure ? but that was
before election.
Seattle has just commenced to rub
the dust out of her eyes. She knows
that something has struck her but
has not yet discovered that it is the
recoil of her own bludgeon with whi.li
ahe has been beating the life out of
the North.
A few days ago she painted in
screaming red the columns of her
newspapers, the announcement that
the hammer was burned. Seattle was
going to quit "knocking' ? but ne\er
theless it is a safe bet that she
still has the ice-hook out looking for
the North.
TREASON, INSIDIOUS AND DAN
GEROUS.
The big grafter and the little re
tainers who came in for the crumbs
that fall from his table are wont to
ease their own minds and excuse
themselves to the baser sort of voters
by saying; "The country is big and
rich and can stand it; we are not
hurting anybody." And a feeling
something akin to this makes a large
class of the better citizens lenient
with these parasites.
But in the supreme test that some
times comes to a nation, how do the
effects of grafting work out? A re
port which seems to have at least
the foundation of truth, has it that
after the Mexican federal troops sur
rendered to the lnsurrectos at Juarez,
It was found that many of their
cartridges did not contain enough
powder to send the bullets seventy
feet. They had been made in gov
ernment factories. Some government
official had been pocketing part of th4
money voted by the Mexican Con
gress for war munitions.
If this is true, history is but re
peating itself. It is not necessary to
CANDY M

and Sweetest in the Candy Line
Just Received at BRITT'S
go back farther than the Japanese
Russian war for a parallel case. It
an established fact that Russia's
navy was crippled ? for the most part
nothing but a lot of floating Junk
covered with painted shells ? on ac
count of the shameless, wholesale
and almost open grafting of officials
in high places. The admiral of the
fleet sent to meet Togo in Japanese
waters knew he was going to almost
certain destruction. He himself tes
tified to that fact.
The revolution in Mexico would :
not have resulted differently had all
the cartridges used by Diaz's sol
diers been of the best. But who can
say that Togo would surely been vic
torious if he had met a fleet sent
out by a sound government. Crippled
as Russia's army was at the begin
ning by inefficient officers and by
the effects of graft there, also, some
good authorities think it would have
conquered Japan if the sentiment of
the powers and internal conditions
in Russia had permitted the war to
continue long enough.
Graft, in whatever form, is plain
stealing. Often it amounts to trea
son. Until it is generally regarded in
this light, it will not be eradicated.

A Toronto paper complains because j
Hearst's paper, the New York Even- j
ing Journal, says that for every dol
lar of good the Knox-Fieldtng pact
will do Canada, it will do the United ;
States ten dollars' worth. Well, why
shouldn't it? The United States has
ten people for every one in Canada.
That looks a little something like a j
square deal. ? Victoria Times.
