The Puyallup Commerce comes to

is good at the funny business
The article entitled, yielding to
Pressure" which appeared in yester-
days issue as an editorial, appeared
there by mistake. 1t was a clipping
from the P.-I., and should have ap-
peared among our clippings credited
to that journal.
Ii Cleveland be Te elected We sug
gest that he invite Sir John McDon-

Is the Cal spokesman for the con-
ervative element within the railroad
company? If so, is it aiding that
element to talk down railroad pros>

Mr.. Moses Folsom, who is travel

west for the American Press Assoeia~
ton, is in the city, It would be
good idea to get him to write up

would get black eye that would
probably cause suspension. The re-
moval of duty on brick would brine
brick from Japan and China, to be

Most tried to tell the truth when he
testified before the Immigration
Investigating Committee, that there
were two million Anarchist sympa-
thizers in the United States. He
claims that nearly all of them are
Germans, which is hardly fare, either
