THE Spokane delegation that went to
L Washington in the interest OF prop
erty owners within the disputed district
are homeward bound. A public rccep.
tlon would not be amiss.
The unfortunate people who still re-
main at Johnstown, Penn, are deserving
of pity and sympathy. They ought to
come out to Washington, where the
elements are not in league against life
and property.
NEVER do a mean thing for money"
is Ben Buffers advice TO young men.
What is-the use, Benjamin, of doing a
mean thing IL one is not paid for 1t?
That looks like pure cussedness.
Loitier advice would be. Never do a
mean thing
" congressman aud bankers continue
the Introduction OF silver bills at the
present rate, there will be separate
measure for every silver dollar in cir
culation. One would think that out Of
all these bills some measure satisfactory
to the public could be collaborated.
THE democrats IN congress complain
because they have had no hand In the
republican tariff pie. 1t was not the In.
tention of the people that they should
have any thing TO do with the tariff.
That decision was reached at the polls,
when Grover Cleveland and the Mills
bill were placed on the shelf
FORTUNES are often made out OF
niokels. The dispatches state that at
the meeting OF the Brewers Association
of the United States $l05, 10000 was
represented. II Is worth while to re-
member that oil those millions are the
accumulation of nickels, u coin that has
never received its proper share OF respect
from the people Of the Pacific coast.
Great is the nickel, after all.

to the Odd Fellows, the Masons and the
knights of Pythias, or oven run for of

old church and march with the Salvation
army band. The church draws the line
at that.
TUE Washington Independent, OF
pomeroy, speaking apparently by au-
thority announces that Hon. q. q.
Austin, state senator for Garfield and
AsOtin counties, will not be candidate
for congress because he is too busy to
dabblc In politics. This Is n wise con-
clusion A man who has anything else
to do can not afford TO enter politics as

DRINCE WILHELM, of -Weimar

PROHIBITION doesn't prohibit original
packages. Neither does II prohibit low
groggeries ana secret dives. The Ameri.
can public are beginning TO wonder
whether prohibition prohibits anything.
THE sympathy Of all tho people OF
Spokane Falls is extended to their be-
loved neighbor, SpraGue, which il just
now threatened with an invasion By the
Salvation army. This outfit is not only
