Wlion tho Amorlcnn pcoplo ns n wholo or majority thereof pass final Judgment upon any quostlon of na tional importance, tlio (IccIbIoh can nafoly bo considered ntmost in fall ltila Howovor, wo ns n nation, tiro somotlmcs too hasty in allowing our Bontlmonts to ovorcoino our sonso of Justice. V now linvo rcfcrcnco to tho Cook-I'oary controversy In which nlna-tonths of tho pcopto of this nation, and In fact of tho on tiro world, havo from tho start taken sides with Dr. Cook, and havo unmercifully flayed Lieutenant I'onry, ti man who has spout tho best years of ids llfo in strenuous efforts to bring honor of finding tho North i-olo to tho United Stntos; n innn who has endured nil tho hardships of tho damned frozen, starved nnd sufforod In every concelvnblo form that tho ambition of Ills country men to bo tho first tharo might bo realized; n man who mndo it pon slblo, if truo, for Dr. Cook to first roach tho coveted spot, becuuso Cook's nppoarnncu In I'olo hunting and hla most practical knowludgo of northorn exploration was derived from his expeditions In thu coinptuiy of I'onry to tho frozen regions, nud by I'onry'H courtesy only. Now, lot us ruason 11 hit without prejudice. Tho honor of discovering thu I'olo was to I'onry as thu finding of n gold initio is to n hungry protipuctor, nnd whon, nfter ut Inst reaching tho goal of his life's labor, ho learns that n pretender claims to hnvo beaten li I tit to It by 11 small margin, what could hu do? Ilo did exactly ns tho nforesnld prospector would havo done had someone Jumped his claim, nnd likewise what thu afore said nlno-tentliH of American people would hnvo done, lie naturally got angry nnd said things. Ilo doubted nnd ho still doubts tho authenticity of Dr. Cook's statements, and ho has ovcry reason for doubt, but for this display of temper tho nation turns upon him nud attempts to rend him to pleeos, forgetful of thu debt thoy owo hint for his part In tho vic tory. One of tho reasons why l'oary should doubt Cook's claim Is that A St. Johns resident gnvo somo beautiful sentimental and poetic thoughts on going into Portland In tho Journal Inst week. His poroo. tlon almost carried ono away on Its flowery breath but not qulto. He told how "small minds" wero tho on ly ones that questioned I'ortlund's fatherly Interest In usj expunded on what ft glorious thing It would bo to bo a resident of Portland; ho oven told how Scnttlo had become great by falsehood nnd exaggeration, and intlmntcd that rortland should follow suit. While "sninll minds" pnuso to lnqulro and Investigate tho whys nnd whyforcs, nnd cannot adopt a courso unless it looks feasibly and ndvnntngoous, largo minds, lllto tho writer of tho nrtlclo no doubt pos BCBHC8, sweep over such trifles In n burst of enthuslnsm at tho prospect of being In tho city of l'ortlnnd, bit of sontlmont which serves as cloak for a multltudo of Bins, Small minds, llko llttla potatoes, nro nec csslttcs and help to till up tho crov Itos left open by tho larger sub stances. Tnft found Ilniimgor not guilty, nnd gavo him nlmost as saintly a recommendation an ho gavo Aldrlch This acquittal may hnvo been in keeping with tho facts in tho caso, At any rate, it was good politics and to hnvo been expected, A president who, before ho had got his chair well heated, should publicly acknowledge that ho had mndo an usa of hlmselt In selecting his secretaries, would be pretty stup'J or almighty courageous Tnft Is noither. Upon being upheld Secretary llalllngcr promptly fires Gliivls, chief of thu field division or tho genornl office, who brought tho chnntuB against him. This was the natural and proper thing to do. Thorc should bo hnrmony In tho department though tho entire working force be reduced to Ilulllngors, nud retain man who had tho ability to spy out things nud tho courage to report them would bo bad for discipline nnd concerted notion, not to sny ombnr rnssliig to corporations thitt wunt the law so construed that what they've grabbed will stick to their fingers Tnft nnd Ilalllnger huvo surely acted with aplomb In this matter. They've closed the Incident nt thu trifling cost of cruclilxlon of 11 subordinate, nnd tho people will bo ft long time about lonrulng anything about Alaska thluvory, anywny. Peoples Press. Tuesday's Journal editorially up braids n Coos county man for care lessly wounding another while hunt ing skunks by shooting him with 11 bunch of 80 odd buckshot.
