HYMN OF THE ALAMO.
BY. p. NJ. POTTER.
June
Air-Marseillaise.


''Rise, man the walls-our cIarion's blast
Now sounds its final reveille;
This daW-ing morn must be the last
Our fated band shall ever see.
To life, but not to hope. farewell,
Yon trumpets' clang and cannons' peal,
And storning shout and clash of steel,
Are ours-but not our country knell.
Welcome the Spartan death,
IT'S no despairing strife;
We fall we die but our expiring breath
Is freedoms breath of life!
E'Here on this new Thermopyle
Our monument shall tower on high;
And Alamo hereafter be
On bloodier fields the battle cry
Thus Travis from the rampant cried;
And when his warriors saw the zoe.
Like whelming pillows move below,
At once each dauntleSs heart replied
''Wecome the Spartan's death,
IT'S no despairing strife;
We fall, we die, but our expiring breath
Is freedom s breath of life. -
They come, like autumn's leaves they fall,
Yet hordeS on hordeS they onward rush;
With CORY tramp they mount the wall,
Till numbers the defenders crush
Till falls their flag when none remain!
Well may the ruffians' quake to tell
How Travis and his hundred fell,
Amid thousand foeman slain.
They died the Spartan's death,
But not in hopeless strife;
Like brothers died; and their expiring breath
Was freedom breath of life.

TH0U SHALT NOT STEAL.


While moral issues are being generally
debated it is high time TO begin reform
having for its object the protection of the
umbrella. The public conscience is woe
fully lax on the subject of the umbrella.
Men who believe that
IT is sin
To steal pin;
It is greater
To steal q later,
do not hesitate to put their souls in pawn
for the enforced loan of an umbrella.
Perhaps three-fourths of humanity are
communists an umbrella IS length. The
tendency is dangerous; if a mans UNI
brella may be appropriated without his
knowledge or consent, why not his hat,
or boots, or shirt; what peculiar sacred
ness attaches to these that belongs not to
an umbrella?
Content and perfect trust will never be
known in this world so long as an honest
man dares not let his umbrella get out of
reach, without an unsightly sign painted
on the inside:

Our rights are clear, and we cannot
surrender them without surrendering the
dignity of the country. There will be
no such surrender while Mr.. Cleveland
remains president and Mr.. Bayard sec
rotary of state, unless it is made by con-
gress, to whom the entire affair has been
submitted. AS the most respectable mil
itarY power in Europe, Germany is enti-
tied to fight if ii wants one, and its
conduct entirely justifies the inference
that it is spelling for quarrel with the
United States.

The Town Of Pullman.

Pullman, IS miles south Of Spokane
Falls, is the second town in importance
in Whitman county; it is situated at
the junction Of tbs Spokane & Palouse
branch of the N. P and the 0. r. d N.
railroads, and is situated in the
center Of the "garden spot " Of
the famous Palouse county, which has
no equal IN the world as an agricultural
district. The peculiar location Of Pull
man requires all railroads that wish to
tap this region to pass through it, which
in time will make it railroad center.
The town has grown in the past two
years from a hamlet to town Of 700
population, and now has a prosperous
and substantial growth. Over half a
million Of dollars was paid last fall at
Pullman, to farmers of the neighborhood
for their products, which is as much as
is paid in most towns of 1000 people. As
a business point Pullman has no equal,
and an invitation is extended to every
one seeking a new location to come and
investigate our resources and our future,
The average yield Of wheat in this vicin-
ity is 40 bushels per acre; of oats, from
70 to 80; Of fax, 90; barley, IS, and
hay g. tons. The climate is all that
could be desired

?. Bremen,

NEXT year every farmer in the United
States will be visited by a paid and an
accredited officer of the government and
asked to give statistics Of his farm, crops,
stock, etc, for the previous year-that
is, the year 1889. The sensible sug-
gestion has been made that, in order to
be prepared to give the census takor
accurate information, farmers should
begin now to keep correct account of all
farm operations and keep it up during
the year. In tins way only can the
agricultural statistics Of the census
report be made to have any practical
value.

The County Officers.

Considerable wonderment has been ex-
pressed by many citizens of our town as
to whether the county officers elected last
fall will hold their positions under the
state government, or whether a new list
will be elected From all the informa-
ton we can obtain it would seem that the
officers must be reelected or new ones
take their places.
The bill provides that representatives
to the Fifty-first congress, together with
the governors and other officers provided
for in such constitutions, may be elected
on the same day with the ratification or
rejection Of the constitutions, and that
territorial officers shall hold their respect
i've positions until the states are admit
ted. The reasons for the election of new
officers, or the reelection of the present
ones, are obvious. There is very likely
to be some changes made in the names
and also the duties of many OF the Off
GERS, and also in the Judiciary. There is
a probability that the compensation of
county officers will be changed-the sal
airy system taking the place Of the pres
ent fee system; and all these possible
changes call for and necessitate an cleo
ton of officers throughout, this fall. If
there is any doubt on the question, the
convention should decide it as soon as it
assemblies, that sufficient time be given
for primaries-the proper way to select
delegates. Should the convention remain
in session for sixty days and not act Oh
this question till toward the latter end
of its existence, the work of selecting
candidates for Office will be pushed
through as hurriedly and unsatisfactory
as was the choice of delegates. These
many questions call for the earnest
thought Of each delegate, each of whom
should 60 with definite code of action
outlined in his own mind, to be changed
only by reasonable argument.

A WCnan'S View.

At a recent meeting Of the Optimus
Club in the Presbyterian church, Tacoma,
the subject for debate was woman suf-
frage During the debate Mrs. Mackey,
wife of the pastor, Rev. A. W. Mackey,
was called on to speak. Mrs Mackey,
according to the Tacoma News, said:
''This is the first time I have ever
spoken in public, and I hope it will be
the last I had no idea this discussion
was to take place when I came, but the
question before us is one about which [
feel so warmly that [ cannot remain 81
lent. AS far as woman's capabilities are
concerned in regard to the ballot, shall
not discuss. | have never met a gentle
man who felt she was less capable of using
the ballot than man. But good deal is
said about the rights of women in this
respect. Now, affirm that the great ma
iority of the better class of women In
AIleTlCd 10 nOb NdIIG tlc OdllOt, tiud hhf
not this majority right to ask that you
do not force upon them something they
do not wish? We do not wish it, because
we consider it a direct blow at the home.
Woman cannot mingle in politics and not
be contaminated by it, and have also her
time to devote to the home. If it stopped
at the ballot it would not be so bad, but
it will not stop there. Women, to be
consistent, if they wish the ballot, must
run for office, filling the seats of our city
council and other offices. One lady Of
our city, an advocate of woman suffrage,
felt thus compelled to allow her name to
be used, though reluctantly, for the office
of councilman. Fortunately for her she
was defeated, for / cannot believe, had
she been successful, that after mingling
with the class of men in that council she
could possibly have come out, at the end
of the year, the same pure, noble woman
she was at the beginning. L have the
word of two ladies Of our city who were
compelled to support themselves and
mingle somewhat with men in public that
they feel it impossible for women to oc-
cupy such positions and remain quite the
same, no matter how hard they might
fight it. One speaker has said that
woman is slave without the ballot. This
Ideny. We are not slaves. But if these
gentlemen can convince us we are slaves,
perhaps we will fight it out. But the
fact is we are free women-just as free
as we want to be. This is point I wish
every gentleman present who votes to
consider well. I repeat, that the great
majority of the better class of women do
not wish the ballot forced upon them
and we ask you to respect that right as
the right of the majority. IF you gentle
men would leave the women to decide this
question, there would be little doubt
about its being decided in the negative"

THE Scott exclusion act has been de-
cided constitutional by the supreme court
Of the United States, the court holding
that congress has the power to abrogate
a treaty and also to exclude aliens who
are regarded as inimical to the interests
of the country. 1t is estimated by com
petent authority that there are about
$4,000 Chinese on the coast, and that
about one-fourth of that number leave
every year. If the statement is true,
and they cannot return, we must soon
hear less Of Chinese cheap labor.

An Open Letter.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
CENSUS OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May l, 1889.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May l, 1889.
To the Medical Profession:
The various medical associations and
the medical profession will be glad to
learn that DR.. John S. Billings. surgeon
U. S. army, has consented to take charge
of the report on the mortality and vital
statistics Of the United States as returned
by the eleventh census.
AS the United States has no system OF
registration of vital statistics, such as IS
relied upon by other civilized nations for
the purpose Of ascertaining the actual
movement of population, our census at
fords the only opportunity of obtaining
near an approximate estimate of the birth
and death rates of much the larger part
of the country, which is entirely unpro-
vided with any satisfactory system OF
state and municipal registration.
In view of this, the Census Office, dur
ing the month of May this year, will is
sue to the medical profession throughout
the country "physician's registers" for
the purpose of obtaining more accurate
returns of deaths than it is possible for
the enumerators to make. 1t is earn
estly hoped that physicians in every part
Of the country will cooperate with the
Census Office in this important work.
The record should be kept from June /,
1889, to May 81, 1890. Nearly $4,000
of these registration books were filled
up and returned to the Office IN 1850,
and nearly all of them used for statisti-
cal purposes. 1t is hoped that double
this number will be obtained for the
eleventh census.
Physicians not receiving registers can
obtain them by sending their names and
addresses to the Census Office, and, with
the register, an official envelope which
requires no stamp will be provided for
their return to Washington. If all medi-
cal and surgical practitioners throughout
the country will lend their aid, the NOR
tally and vital statistics of the eleventh
census will be moro comprehensive and
complete than they have ever been. Ev-
cry physician should take a personal
pride in having this report as full and
accurate as it is possible to make it. 1t
is hereby promised that all information
obtained through this source shall be
held strictly confidential.
