DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES.
Grand Lodge I. o. G. 7.

The Good Templars OF Washing
ton Territory, held their annual
Grand Lodge session at Spokane
Falls, Aug. 22nd to 25th. Lodges of
the territory were fairly we'll repre-
sented and the session was an en-
thusIastlc and interesting one.
Iwenty-seven lodges were reported
IN good standing with a member
ship of over thousand. The report
of the grand treasurer showed
small balance in the treasury.
Considerable important business
was transacted and arrangements
made to make Good Templar work
still more effective. G. c. T. jonas
Burshell of Tacoma, will be EN-.
ployed as organizer during the fall
and winter months.
The formation of " orthy Grand
Lodge of North America wasrec 1m,-
mended. A donation lf $25 was
made to the Good Templars of West
Virginia, to assist them in their eff
forts to secure a prohibitory consti>
tutIoDal amendment.
Important bylaws were adopted
and submitted to the r.. w. G.
Lodge The usual vote of thanks
were rendered, that respecting the
NJ Il. Church (whose handsome edi
fee was used for the SESSION. closing
with these words: I'VE place on
record our great satisfaction in the
incontestlble position everywhere
taken by the officers and members of
the NJ. e. Church in the cause of
temperance"
The project of building a taber-
nacle at the Chautaqua grounds on
Vashon island, for the use of the
Grand Lodge and Good Templars
in general, met with hearty approval;
about 500 dollars was subscribed at
once and arrangements made to lay
the matter before the members of the
order In case the tabernacle is not
ready by August 10th, 1889, the next
session will be held at Tacoma
The following officers were cleo
ted and installed: G.. c. T., Jonas
BuIshell, Tacoma; G. O., Arthur Lis
ter, Tacoma; G.. v T., Mrs. Near
thur, Spokane; g. S., d. B. Ward,
Seattle; c., Miss T. J. Kelly, Puy-
alIup; q. NJ. j. B. Shelton, Shelton;

There was present the oldest Good
Templar on the coast and perhaps
in the United States, John Webster,
OF Seattle. who presented the lodge
with the regalia presented to him at
his installation as Grand Chief Tenn
plar of the state of New York in 1857.

RandSlI on the Hills Bill.

Democratic papers have been
talking for weeks about the Re-
publican party advocating the i'm
po atIon of taxes upon the ceces-
sarles of life and the placing on the
free list of the luxuries. But what
does the Mills bill propose? In the
course of a speech few days ago,
Mr.. Randall briefly disected the bill.
Cutting with II sharp knife into the
sections of the bill. When he had
finished there wasn't much left but
the skin.
ln part Mr.. Randall said: "Vhat
does the Mills bill propose? 1t
gives free olive oil to the epicures
and taxes castor oil 81 per cent; it
gives free tin plates TO the Standard
Oil Company and to the great meat
canning monopolIes, and imposes a
duty ut 100 per cent. on rice; it gives
the sugar trust free bone black, and
proposes prohibitory duties on gro
cery grades of sugar, it imposes a
duty of 10 per cent. on the poor
mans blanket and only 30 per cent.
on the Administer carpet of the rieh;
1t admits free of duty the Inc AMI
mails Imported by the gent len of
the tnrf; makes free the paintings
aud statrary of the railway million
aire and coal baron"
And yet the Democratic National
Convention endorsed the Mills bill
from A to IZare. Have Democrats
any right to talk about the love they
have for the honest toilers OF Amer
lea? or about their friendship for
the consumer and hatred for the
producer?

Condensed Milk Trade.

One of the most stunning shots
that the house of represen natives re-
ceived, while it was discussing the
sugar trust, eamo in the form OF a
letter from James a Turner, Presi-
dent of the Michigan Condensed
Milk Company, Mr. Turner shows
that since the sugar trust formed his
company has been compelled to pay
33 per cent. more for sugar, which
makes it very difficult for them TO
continue in business. Besides this,
MIR. Turner says: ''As our trade is
largely with South America, China,
Mexico, and the East and West Indies.
we are necessarily competitors of the
Swis7 fan | English manufacturers,
who are buying sugar at the old
rates" The enterprise of condens-
ing milk for sexport is an industry
which affords the farmers of Michi>
gan more than twice the AMOUNT
they ever before received for milk,
and the price this year is equivalent
to wheat at 81 per bushal.

Snub5ing the President.

The Senate las rejected the fisher-
les treaty. The President, on Thurs
day last, sent a message to the Sen
ate concerning it. The Senate was
in no mood to hear it when it arrived,
as the Senators were just discussing
the election frauds of Louisiana and
Mississippi. Wilson of Iowa was on
the floor speaking on the suppression
OF colCred vo ers. Chandler had
just narrated how our VIM Adams.
an * confederate soldier, a white man
and democrat had been murdered
in Monroe, La. and his body thrown
into the river because lie had conclud
ed 10 support Yarmouth, (Rep). So
when the Presidents message came
in. Edmuads moved TO adjourn. The
presiding officer called attention to
the message and Morgan plead for
its consideration, but ;he Senate ad-
journed with out hearing the message.

In 1880 there was no tariff on salt,

cents a day. Now with the tariff on
salt of II cents on the hundred

Delegate Charles S. Voorhees,, who
represents and belongs to the party
that wants free trade in coal, iron,
lumber, wool, brick and other leading
articles of manufacture ia Washing
ton Territory, is the Cars candidate
for reelection. IF Mr.. Voorhees,
party could have its way about these
arlcles it would deal blow to the
leaiing industries of our Territory,
that would inevitably reduce The
wages of all our Iaboring men. The
democratic county convention which
met last week endorsed Voorhees,
with Ostentatiops and fulsome praise.

tically in favor of Cleyeland's re-elec-
ton and the election of democratic

be organ voices these sentiments, at
least Suppose the democracy should
attain Its darling wish this year?
What would be the result? Free
trade in our principal products
would place the main bulk of our
wage earners in position where they
would be compelled to work for re-
duced wages. As it is, they are able
TO accumulate surplus earnings and
buy homes for themselves.
In this respect they are mere for
tunate than foreign lakorers with
whom they would have TO compete
under free trade. Democrats as
well as republicans here have signed
protests against removing the dnty
on our articles of manufacture. Do
these democrats really wish for ma
tional democratic ascendancy with
all that it means? Or. a-e they
