THE BARRACKS.

The trIecrapmc intelligence of
progress in Eastern Oregon and
Idaho gradually forces our people
to the conviction that on" of the
greatest Indian wars ever waged ON
the Pacific Coast is just now demand
inr attention. The great want OF
the people is arms and ammunition
volunteers to any required amount
can be easily raised.
But even the reflection that these
red fcnds will surely be conquered
in few months, and the fact that
they are even now almost IN the
clutches of Gen. Howard's force,
cannot allay the pain felt in consld'
erinr the horrors that fall to the lot
of the unfortunate settlers who i've
near the scene of hoStlIltles. Just
now we realize most kecnly the
short-sightcduess and niggardly poll
cv of Congress in its mad attempt to
make political capital out OF lts re-
trenchment" movement. An ade.
ouatc standing army and appropra'
tion would greatly lessen the losses
and risks on an occasion like this.
Eastern Washington, Oregon and
Idaho will be retarded in their
growth for years.

BEET SUGAR. A letter from Er.
nest Th. Gennerd, sect. Of the Maine
Beet sugar Co., to Mr.. NJ. @. Marsil
liot lst asst. Engineer of the Wolcott,
under date of June 22d, Indicate the
willingness of the company to coop
crate with Mr.. Marsilliot in develop
ing the art Of manufacturing sugar
from beets. The latter gentleman, it
will be remembered, is at the head Of
the California movement in that di.
rection. The letter says that the ex.
periments undertaken by. the com
pany are extensive and promise so
far, to be conclusive in their results.
They have contracted with about 500
farmers in Maine for the raising of
beets, and have furnished seed to
about 1000 besides, many making
voluntary experiments and agreeing
to report thereon. The showing is,
so far, favorable. The method adopted
of bringing the beets into a market,
able form is that. of drying. No ef-
fort will be spared to make the move
a success financially, and also to
collect statistics and give the world
the benefit of them. Mr.. Marsilliot
will never rest until the matter is
thoroughly tested.

The "Uaitarian Advocate" thinks
Olympia has "A surleit Of preachers of
the gospel, and intimates that there
will be a wedding out. 1t thinks also
that if two or three more of them
would start newspapers the height Of
absurdity would be reached. Now
if that journal would only convince
somebody that Olympia has too many
whisky saloons it might possibly as
sist in a "weeding out" process in
that line which would be beneficial.

OUR DELEGATE TO CONGRESS-
On Sunday morning last, upon the
arrival of the Dakota, we had the
pleasure of meeting Judge Jacobs
who has returned from his arduous
labors in Congress. The Judge has
a way of quietly performing his du-
ties,S without any houris h Of trumpets,
buster or brag, and we in common
with many others can only regret
that he refuses to become candi-
date for re election. Whatever his
enemies may say about him, we feel
sure they will not attempt to demon
strate that he has ever, during his
official career, neglected to attend
promptly to any matter of interest
to the Territory, requiring his action
The Seattle "Dispatch" has well said
that the position of Delegate from "A
Territory is at best an onerous and
thankless one, there being so much
required and expected of him in pro-
portion to his ability to. perform. We
believe it is generally conceded by
the better portion of our citizens, re
gardless of political bias, that Wash
ington Territory has never been bet
ter or more ably represented in the
halls of Congress than in the person
OF Hon. O. Jacobs.

About the time that business is be-
ginning to get little more brisk in
tEis country, and the cords OF the last
Ave past years crisis are about to 10
unloosed, England is taking our posi-
tion. Labor reports from that country
only show that the suffering among the
laboring classes is scarcely lessened,
with a probability that it will contin-
ue for some time in the future. Lord
Beaconsfe'd, in his usual optimistic
manner, has endeavored to hold out
hope for favorable turn of affairs, hut
che logic o. events throws doubt upon
his conclusion. England to-day has an
enormous idle population, struggling
for the necessarips of life, that, for q
time, must subsst, in great degree,
apon charity. 1t would seem that the
population of the island has become TOO
great for the nations annual income.
1t is plain that the most liberal aid
from both public and private sources
will be required to relieve the deep dis
tress. 1t appears certain that the ex-
listing want can, in a great degree, he
traced 70 the demoralizing influence of
the excessive aims giving 80 common
- in England. No country in the world
has been more profu,e than Grea' Brit
ain in the extent and munifcence OF its
charities. The laboring classes have
beer taught in this way to rely on the
public purse, when evil days come nigh,
rather than upon the results of their
own economy.
Unfortunately, tn. idle working peo-
pie cannot remove to another part of
the country, and thus bring about
redistr sutton of the population, as all
parts of the island are about equally
depressed as regards the industrial sit,
uatlon. III lHe DHlteu Eedteo IL 10 VIZ
than probable that distress would exist
at this time in the Eastern centres Of
p0pul alton but for the fact that immi
grafton to the West has for some time
been going on. There is yet ample
room both for our own Eastern surplus
and for the millions that will be likely
to come to us from Europe. Recent re-
ports from Kansas show that the immi
grafton to that State is very large, and
i, likely to increase in the Immediate
future. The grain product of Kansas
for this year is so large that it is almost
impossible to secure transportation suf-
fcent to convey it to the market. The
gratifying growth OF Kansas is we'll
shown by the increase in its yield of
grain. In 1860 the State produced but
1914, l73 bushels of wheat; in 1878 her
wheat product was 80, 900, 900 bushels.
For the wear last named the State pro-
duced 100 900, 900 bushels Of corn,
against only G,lJ0.727 bushels in 1860.
1t is well for both our own country and
Europe that areas of fertile and unoc
cupi4d soil equal in extent to great
States yet exist in the valley Of the
Mississippi.
