bad feelings between these two and a

he was sleeping and began to talk
abusive. After taking it for some time,

Washington, the "Sunset" State.

that it might be the Sunset" state!
[ am well aware that sunsets generally
have been written down and painted
down to the very verge of desperation !;
but tell me, where is there a land in
which the darkest day of winter filings
her dull coverings at evening and lays
the pure, flaming gold of her heart over
the whole country, sea and mountains as
it does on Puget sound? Every land
may occasionally have gorgeous sun
set; and then, when one does stray in
unexpectedly, how the whole country
comes out and stares at it, and how the
newspapers rave over it, and how they
all look at each other and trot out that
old, weary "Talk about Italy," until
our ears and eyes and nerves fairly
tingle But think-only think!-of a
land where each evening from six o'clock
until ten in summer and from four till
six in winter the whole western sky and
sea that dances beneath are one flaming,
tremulous, dazzling glow of blended and
blending gold, purple, scarlet, orange,
blue, opal and pearl-sh1fting fading,
melting, burning, until ones breath al

great wheel of flaming gold-lay his
trembling rim upon the low purple line
of the hill wherein tall, graceful fiji
trees reach upward quiet arms until
each fine, spicy needle stands out, clear
and delicate, against that luminous
background. And many and many a
time while the west is lit with sunset
fires, into the clear, blue east rises slow

TEKOA.

From Globe, 26th ult.
The railroad company is building a
free reading room and bath house for
the exclusive use of employees. This is
something the boys should, and no
doubt will, appreciate.
Tekoa is at last to have a bank. A
few weeks ago Mr.. J. R. Stearns, of
Walla Walla, reported on the prospects
and present business of the town to Mr..
Lombard, the boston capitalist and head
of the Lombard Investment Company.
The report was most favorable one,
and as result Mr.. Stearns was directed
to proceed at once to secure the sub
scription of as much local capital to the
enterprise as possible and to make ar
rangements for location and building.

The Tobacco Habit with School Teach
eESs
Tekoa Globe. I

A Spokane county teacher has been
relieved of his certificate because he was
given to the use of tobacco. Two little
girls informed on him which resulted in
a trial and dismissal. This action may
be considered too severe by some, but it
is only just and merited rebuke to
those who indulge the filthy and disgus!-
ing habit of tobacco chewing regardless
of surrounding and the debasing effect
on those with whom they come IN con-
tact, either young or old. A school
teacher should be exemplary in habits
and morals. Not alone are they ex-
pected to instruct the mind in useful
knowledge, but to instill into it ideas
of morality, clean habits and good man
ners. A teacher must necessarily COM
mand the love and respect of his or her
scholars. This can only be inspired by
perfection on the part of the teacher,
for no one is quicker to detect imper-
fections than a child.

was struck it fractured the skull, which
afterwards healed up leaving the bone

they have soured on the old mans stomach,

Carlisle knows better than that. For
months and months, believe, this same
cranky workingman and Liberal and

ais during the winter campaign, and really
deserved some pay for his services. He
worked harder, but honester, no doubt, for

was worklngman and was treated as such.

not "F'ree Mason;'' but A. M. Grant is
Free Mason, though he knows nCthing
about buildings practically and already
held a paying position. Sam needed

lngman, but not Free Mason, but
Paul is Master Free Mason
and got the apprenticeship of streets.
Clute is high-up Free Mason; Hyams,
Dlehl, Phillips and others are Free
Masons; so there is no hope for operative
day. Let me say to Samuel M. Carlisle,

WARTS IN POLITICS.
A Story by the Tribune About Liberal Candi-
date Refuted.

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Dear Sir--Soon after the Liberal conven-
ton put its ticket in the field the Tribune
(editorially) gave brief sketch of the var
lous nominees. In speaking of John M.
Cahoon, it said he had warts on his hands
as big as marbles. This is a mistake, !
saw MIR. Cahoon the other day and observed
his hand closely, There are no warts on
them.
write this that those electors whose
vot> on important political issues are in
huenced by the size and number Of warts
on candidates hands may know the
truth.
This recommendation of the Tribune's re-
minds me that l once read an article by a
man named James Russell Lowell in which
1t was said that one of the dangers of the
American people was that they were liable
to decide questions by count of hands
rather than a count of heads. But this
criticism has no weight, as it was made by
man who had become corrupted by the
influences of the British court.
The moral of I'LL this land it is equal to
one by Esop) is that men who have warts
on their hands should not play with toads.

see the day wnen Utah would take her
place among the glorious sisterhood of
states. If Utah had been under religious
hierarchy and had emerged from it, t. en-
he hoped they would not cast their
vote to create another despotism, more
grinding than that of Russia The leaders
OF this movement had been approached by
members of the other side, who wanted
them to postpone their convention, and it
was his belief that they had done so, the
ticket would have been ratified by the
Liberals. Because he was opposed to the
Liberal party he was stigmatized as q
traitor. If the wor1ingmen had any pride
in their breasts, if they had any American
blood in their veins, ne beseeched them to
rise up in their might and repudlate this
stigma. They should show by their vote
that their existence did not depend upon
the existence of the Liberal party. The
movement demonstrated that the Working
men were Americans and would not sub
nit to have their rights trampled upon.
They should show that political slavery
could not exist here, and if Wendell
Philips or Garrison should be needed,
they would be found

the candidate for recorder, was next intro

upon the people, who understood the ques-

many other ways they had acted unfairly

The People and the Independents Hold a
Great Meeting.


Perhaps 1000 people attended the rally
of the Peoples party and the Independent
Workingmen at Sandy. A long torch light
procession marched around the town, fine
fireworks were discharged, a huge bonfire
roared, and anyils were sounded. Alto

display. Five speakers addressed
a large audience - Barlow Fer
guson, S. A. Kenner, George r. Gushing,
Mr.. Parsons and Mr. Porcher were the
speakers, the last three representing the
Independents.
The speeches struck home, especially
those of the Workingmen and the enthusi-

serve great praise for the thorough manner
in which they held forth in their battle for
the right Well done, Sandy; and let us
hear from you on Monday also.

TRUTH COMING OUT.
And Where will Williams Ma
jority be Then, Poor Thing?
A LIBERAL JUDGE ARRESTED
Richard W. Young Charges Election Judge
Allen With Changing Peoples Votes
Into Liberal.

One of the Peoples speakers during the
campaign uttered the sentiment that if the
daylight couli be let into Farley Williams
majority of.two in the Fourth precinct it
would be found rotten and fraudulent to
the core
Lieutenant Richard w. Young yesterday
took the preliminary steps to letting in the
daylight, and in so doing he stirred up the
Liberal nest, as it has not been stirred
since the Bonfield bombshells fell into it in
February last.
The step he took was to go before Com
missioner Greenman and swear out war
rant for the arrest of one of the Liberal
judges of election at the Fourth precinct,
one w. j. Allen, charging him with having
manipulated the votes so that ballots cast
for the Peoples men were changed for
those cast for the Liberals.
Allen, who is a bartender at the Crystal
| saloon, opposite the Walker house, was
arrested by Deputy Bowman Cannon last
evening. He was at once brought before
the commissioner, looking white as a sheet,
and the way in which he glowed at Mr..
Young, who viewed him with provoking
good nature, was enough to strike terror
into that gentleman's bosom, had he been
accustomed to being terrorized by bar
tenders. Three minutes after Allen was
put into custody, the door of the commits
sioner's room flew open and in rushed
Powers, McAllum, Glendenning and a
crowd of attendants with an air that
seemed to say the saloon contingent was in
danger, and it must and should be pro-
| tected.
The complaint was read and Allen was
asked whether he was guilty ornot: s'Not
guilty,!o course" he clustered SITS all a
job, that man Young is capable of nothing
else," shot which Mr. Young received in
good part.
The examination was placed for Tuesday
and Aliens bonds fixed at $1,000, which
were Immediately furnished by some OF
those in attendance; Allen was then re-
leased and he took occasion to mutter some
opprobrious words at Mr.. Young when he
was peremptorily shut up by Deputy Can
