The mutilated remains of Baron
Won Strauss, German nobleman,
were found in the mountains near
Spokane recently by two hunters.
The man had squandered a fortune
anu then wandered into the mountains
and starved himself to death. Wild
animals had torn the remains to
pieces.

There were many Republican farmers

There were many Republican farmers
present at the joint debate on the
tariff between Congressman Bynum,
Of Indiana, and Grosvenor, of Ohio, at
the Oswego fair, and the Oswego Pdl-
ladium says OF the scene there pre-
sented: "If one were to judge from
the manner in which the remarks of
the two distinguished gentlemen we're
received by the applause bestowed, and
the cheers that were given, then the
eloquent Bynum had by far the best
of the contest. Well known Republi-
cans applauded him as heartily as did
the most enthusiastic Democrats, and
some of them united with their Demo
cratic brethren in congratulating him
at the close OF his logical address"

IT seems that slavery still exists in
some quarters of the globe, and that
the nefarious slave traffic affords en-
ployment for many vessels among the
South Sea islands. A late dispatch
says that whole islands in the Solomon
group, in the New Hebrides, and in
other sections OF Polynesia, have been
depopulated by the ravages OF men
employed to seize and transport ma
tives to the plantations of New Gale
donia and the Fiji islands. Scarcely
a vessel arrives here from Australia
that does not bring news of the mas
sacre of some white trader or skipper
by natives, who have been gradually
driven into desperation by the treat
ment they have received from the
whites. While many of the islands
have been depopulated, no less than
10000 natives have been added to the
cheap-labor population OF New Gale
donia, Queensland, the FIJI islands
and the New Hebrides. Thirty or
more vessels are engaged in the nefa-
rious traffic, and men are becoming
wealthy at the business.

rctary of the Interior held that as
long as there has been no certifcation
OF the right Of the railroad company
to the tract in question, the title re-
mains in the United States; and the
Land Department of the Government
retains its jurisdiction over the land.
That, having the jurisdiction over the
land, the department has the right to
reinstate an entry and to allow the
settler the enjoyment of those benefits
which he merits by the circumstances
of his settlement and compliance with
the land laws, Notwithstanding those
benefits are created by provision of
law enacted subsequent to the occur
renee of the events which invest the
settler with the qualifications to
which those benefits are subject.
Respecting his failure to furnish the
REIMBURSEMENT of the railroad COM
pany as required in 1874 and the can
collation. of his homestead entry in
1915 therefor, it was held that the act
of Congress Of 1875 conferred upon
him no right which he could enforce
against the company, but if the COM
pany tailed or refused to relinquish,
! the entry would have been subject to
cancellation whether the hOmesteader
took action or not, and the cancella-
ton of his entry upon his failure to
act did not change the status of his
rights.
And now, by virtue of that indomit-
able perseverance in the pursuit of n
conviction of right, which is character
istic Of the successful man in the rapid
development of this resourceful coun-
try, our Cowlitz county citizen enjoys
quiet title to the home OF his choice.
The rights of settlers on United States
lands, under the modified laws, obviate
many hardships and dangerous COM
plications.
The latest change allows home
steaders, without previous settlement,
to save expense and inconvenience by
making filings, affidavits, and final
proofs before United States Commits
siOners, or court officers in the county
where the lands lie, as in case of pre-
vious settlements.

Tho State Of Washington.

Speaking of that Northwest country,
says the Salt Lake Tribune, the
State of Washington show, more
magnificent advance during the past
ten years than any other State did in
this Union. Its population ten years
ago was but about $4,000. Now it is
just about five times $4,000 people,
showing an increase OF nearly 400 per
cent. No one can appreciate the rush
and roar there who has not been there
to see. There is probably not another
so interesting spot in the Union to-
day, to the business man, as the Puget
Sound country. Great cities are
springing up all around it, and, when
asked what is to support those cities,
the people exultingly point to their
timber, to their agricultural lands, to
their mines, to their fisheries, and to
the great ocean that rolls before them.
In the matter OF mines, shrewd old
miner told friend of the writer, that
in the Cascades they had new Lead
vile, as they would demonstrate with
in the next year. A letter received
from another old friend speaks in the
most enthusiastic manner of some coal
measures he is opening up. Eastern
Washington has room for more wheat
fields than any two Eastern States
possess, and the land produces about
twice as much per acre as anywhere
in the East. The timber long ago es-
tablished its own reputation. 1t is
measured by counties almost. 1t is
practically inexhausti5le, and in quail
ity it has no rival in the world. Of
course the fisheries are rs yet only
half developed, but they will in the
near future rival those of Newfound-
land. No wonder the people are ex-
ultant; no wonder they are hopeful;
no wonder new men are 1ocking there
by thousands every week to take part
i'll the grand advance, for the elements
of wealth are there. 1t is as fair a
land as ever the eyes looked upon, and
it is surrounded by promises as rich as
ever came to cheer the hearts of wait
ing people.

Democratize the Senate.
New York Commercial Advertiser.


One Farmers Alliance plank has
been accepted verbatim by the Indiana
Democracy: "We favor the election
OF United States Senators by the
people," In the adjoining State of
Illinois the Democratic State Con-
vention this fall formally nominated
General Palmer for the United States
Senate, pledging the people that he
should represent them in case Dem
ocratic Legislature was chosen. In the
adjoining State of Ohio the mass of the
Democrats are bitterly in favor of sim
liar change. The sentiment in these
three States is an indication of that
which is coming to prevail all over the
country. The Hamiltonian distrust of
popular self-government which found
expression in the provisions for the
choice of President by electors and of
Senators by legislators has given way
to Jeffersonian distrust of all irsti.
tutions which do not directly represent
the common sense and common wishes
OF the mass of the people. At
the beginning OF our Government there
were few States, if there were any, in
which Governors and State Senators
were elected by the whole people. In
New York the right to vote for them
Was restricted to freeholders possessing
81 500, while any one who owned $3.50
might vote for assemblyman. All such
restrictions upon the right of the whole
people to determine who shall represent
them in legislative offices, have passed
away in all the State governments
The indirect.election of United States
Senators is the solitary survival to be
found anywhere in our system.
The sentiment that this anomaly
must be done away with, and our ma
tional government be made as logically
Democratic as our State governments
is not confined to the Democratic
party. The last constitution adopted
in Nebraska contained provision. not
mandatory, for popular vote for U.
S. Senators to precede this formal
election by the legislature. When
Senator Van Wyck was retired because
OF the hostility of the corporations to.
ward him, his friends demanded that
straw vote should be taken in accord
ance with the provision, but were un-
able to obtain it. Paddock was chosen
in his stead, and is now supporting
nearly every clause in the Mckinley
bill, which the Omaha Bee declares
that nine-tenths of the Republican
farmers of the State are opposed to.

Horses, says Professor George Bartholo-
new, arc Il good deal like men you can train
them to do pretty much what you want.
Nature doesn't seem to have meant them to
do much talking, but believe their capaci-
ties in other respects ure probably far in ex-
cess OF anything wo have yet conceived And
tho methods of training arc very similar.
You can't force II horse into learning a thing
any more than you can n man Affection
is ut the root Of successful teaching in both
cases
When buy Il horse and begin to train him
my first step is to win his confidence. Till
accomplish that Gun do nothing with him.
Then begin to teach him Il simple act. To
make him lift his foot on pedestal, for in
stance, would place tho pedestal i'll front Of
him and touch him gently OH n sensitive part
OF the knee, at the same time constantly re-
peatinG some word expressive of tho act /
wanted him to perform
OF course the horse doesn't know what the
word means, and he does half dozen
wrong things before lie does tho right one
The moment he does it, however, hold tho
foot there, fondle it. and show my approval
in every way possible. This is repeated SO
many times u day till the horse gets to know
what is wanted whenever he hears the word
So with the more difficult acts Some Of
them take a long time to learn. It took me
nearly years patient work to teach Abdal-
lab to walk, trot, march or pace backward
at single word OF command but the way
he does it now repays NE for all the trouble,

ing in Rio.
Nevertheless, now that the thing Is done,
imperialists and conservatives Of the better
classes appear as anxious to make the new
system success as are the soldiers and re-
publicans.
One may we'll place the soldiers first, for
the revolution was exclusively an affair of
the army. The curious feature Of it is that
all the new rulers are comparatively obscure
men. BrazIians in other countries confess
aInazement that such men should have been
elevated to power and profess a belief that
men OF more prominence and experience will
soon succeed them. English and American
observers, on the other hand, see nothing to
justify such an expectation. OF the eight men
now acting as administrators OF the proyi-
sional government not more than two had
been heard Of abroad, and though the world
has been curious about them for a month.
still very little is known.
Gen Dcodoro da Fonseca, now president,
may be set down as the author Of the revolu.
ton. He came out Of tho war with Para
guay the idol OF the soldiers, and by organic
ing selni-social. semi-political clubs among
the officers, gradually attached them to his
fortunes, and introduced his scheme for
revolution SO gradually and cautiously that
the matter was as good as decided before the
imperial authorities We're aware Of anything
dangerous. When the soldiers demanded
more pay Dom Pedro's officials took their
own time to consider the demand, and be-
fore they came to conclusion the revolution
came.
III country with such u heterogeneous
population as Brazil, the army is necessarily
military copy of the gradations of civil
society as well as of colors. In all countries
of mixed blood and many shades the ruling
race is the whtest In Brazil, as in Turkey
and Mexico, the commanding officers are
white Or nearly 50: the private soldiers
black, brown and mixed, and the line officers
intermediate. The caste of common life be-
