THE remark of Senator Voorhees,, in
his speech on the tariff, to the effect
that it would be far cheaper for the
country to pay 24,O00 idle men their
average wages than tax every square
of tin roof, every dinner pail, teapot
and milk-can, simply to build up half
a-dozcn millionaires, and enable them
to give coaching parties to protection
leaders and to found libraries from the
savings of Is per cent. reduction OF
their workingmen, has a good deal OF
truth in it.

harhor improvements, and pu:lic
buildings, should receive from the gen
cral government liberal support.
We demand the free coinage of silver
and that it may be made Il full and
legal tender for all purposes, public
and private.
We demand the enactment OF laws
continuing the Chinese exclusion act,
and the strict enforcement of the
same.
We demand that in our public
works, preference in employment bc
given to those who are citizens of the
United States or who have declared
their intention To become such, and
we demand the enactment and en-
forccment of laws namin. eight hours
as the maximum of full days labor
on such works, and we recommend the
setting aside of the first Monday in
September as holiday specially dedi-
Gated to the cnOblcmcnt OF the dignity
OF labor.
Wcrccosnizc agriculture as the basis
OF all national prosperity, and we are
opposed to all laws that tend TO dis
courage or opprcss that branch Of our
national industry.
We are in favor OF laws both State
and National, for the prevention of
trusts and combines, and we declare
that the prime object of legislation
should bc to insure Il free and far
competition in the rcs"ll!ion OF prices
i'll nil commodities.
Believing that all officers of the
government should he directly rrspon-
sible to the people we demand that
the constitution OF the United States
be SO amended that all government. Of
ticcrs be elected by II direct vote OF the
people.
The business next in order was the
nomination OF n congressional candi-
date. The counties were called and
each chairman announced his prefer
ence. There seem to be but one pref
erence, however, and finally, on mo-
ton of Captain Bell, of Chehalis,
Thomas Carroll, of Tacoma, was de-
clared the candidate for Congress of
the Democratic party by acclamation.
Mr.. Carroll was brought to the plat
form by a number of his enthusiastic
friends, but knowing that the delegates
were anxious to catch the train for
home he simply thanked the conven-
ton for the ..igh honor conferred upon
him.
The 60 lvention adjourned at 4
o'clock. Alter the adjournment the
central committee met and elected
the following officers.

attle; Vice-Chairman, Chester II.

Extravaganza has Disposed Of the
Surplus.

President Cleveland speaking of our
plethoric treasury ut Washington, said
that it was a condition, not IL theory,
that confronted us. This was in 1888.
What are the prospects now? The Re
publican administration is likely to be
confronted at the end of the next fiscal
year with IL depleted treasury unless
the present extravagant appropriations
are curtailed. The pending appropri-
ations 10y Congress for the present year
f)r the ordinary expenses of the gov
ernment are 5000, 900, the depend
ent pension bill calls for $4,000, 600,
the regular pension appropriation
100000 600, and the interest on the
public dett $3OOcOOOO. Then there
are millions to be provided for, to wit ::
$45, 100000 for the | rincipal OF the
public debt, 81 900, ,0GJ for bounties on
sugar and as much more for subsidies
for our merchant marine; and there
are still other millions for the post Of
flee departments and other expenditures.
1t woul inot be all extravagant csti-
mate To place the public expenses OF
the government for the next fiscal
year, if Congress persists in its present
appropriations as at present contem-
plated, at %i20i 10000. The national
revenue from all sources last wear was
S4O2,' OO,c00, which is the largest
amount ever collected, except in 1887.
And this, too, in a time Of peace, from Il
people who are clamoring for relief from
oppressive and unnecessary taxation
No wonder the farmers are clamoring
all over the country when the govern
ment is sluandering millions upon
millions that should be left in the
pockets of an impoyeli-hed and tax
ridden people. What terrible fix the
country will be in ii the Mckinley bill
passes and reduces the revenue $70,-
10000, as the Republicans claim that
it will. This country has passed
through many trying ordeals in its
first century of national life, but we
have 10 doubt of its ability to survive
the extravaganza and corruption of
Republican legislation.

kane is $1S,79OOOO, al increase of $lO,-
100000 over last year.
Excavation commenced Saturday on
the artesian we'll at Waitsburg, from
which it is proposed to take the supply
for the city water works.
Sixty thousand dollars, at low es-
innate, will be the income of the Moxie
company this year. Roughly estimated
it is as follows: Hops, $4,000; manu-
factured tobacco. $50, 600; hay, SIC, 900;
cattle, $4,000.
The people of Laconner are still wag-
ing war on the railroad bridge across
Swinomish slough on account of the
narrow draw, and the fact that it is
built over a bar instead of in the chan
mel OF tho stream.
The bodies of two Indians were found
by graders near Tacoma recently.
With one OF the skeletons a knife and
brass kettle were found. The skulls
OF the two measured twenty and twenty
three inches, respectively.
Snohomish county has 406 farms,
forty-one establishments ofproductive
industry, 23S surviving Union veterans
of the civil war, seventy-one Indians
living on reservations, and 1l8 defect
i've and dependent persons.
The East Washington says that a
million bushels of wheat will be ship
ped from the Pomeroy depot this year,
about 5000 carloads, which can only be
shipped with difficulty before March
next with the present facilities.
Ellensburg has purchased the entire
electric system and plant located there
for $34 900, and will hereafter run
things to suit herself. The books OF
the present company show a profit Of
$500 month, and it is estimated that
the town will reap benefit of $500 per
month after she assumes control OF the
system.
The State of Washington claims to
be doing more in the line OF railroad
building this year than any other
State in the Union. The work pro-
jected or begun in the State will
aggregate over 5000 miles. The work
now in progress is being done by five
corporations, representing capital of
eighty millions, and about 5000 men
are employed upon the work.
August Bartel, a laborer, while wheel
ing load of brick in the second story
of the new bank building in Seattle,
fell headlong to the ground, thirty-fi five
feet below, sustaining q fracture of the
spine, which will probably prove fatal.
Bartel resides in Chehalis and has a
wife and three children. He went to
work on the bank building several
weeks ago, and was very industrious
fellow.
The assessed valuation of Whatcom
county is $4,000, 900, of which $1,000
600 represents the property of the B.
B. & B. c. railway company, exclusive
of road and rolling stock, and of which
about the same amount represents the
realty of the Fairhaven Land company.
The Fairhaven & Southern road and
rolling stock is assessed at $31 ,29O-like
property OF the Cornwall road, has $3l, :
500 opposite it.
Thursday and Friday Seattle was
crowded with visitors, and the nu-
merous hotels were unable to accomo-
dats them all. There was a RAYMOND
excursion party, besides n host OF del
egates to the Democratic convention.

rooms and dining rooms, and even then

Uneasy Republicans.

The Atlanta Constitution has the fol-
lowing to say in pointed and enter
tanning way, about the Republicans Of
the country in relation to the reciproc-
ity scheme of Mr.. Blaine:
The enthusiasm which Mr.. Blaine's
reciprocity scheme has created in the
west and northwest is beginning to
create a good deal of uneasiness among
those Republicans in the East who
have made a contract with manufac-
turers and monopolists, to give them
the benefits of the Mckinley bill.
There is little ripple of discomfort
among the organs and the leaders
They are afraid to attack Mr.. Blaine,
knowing his great popularity and his
immense resources, but they dare not
remain silent while the voting Repub-
licans are declaring in favor of reci-
procity.
They are gradually coming to the COLI
clusion that the proper thing to do is
to raise the cry OF free trade, but they
are doubtful whether even that cry will
have any effect on the farmers OF the
West, who have heretofore voted with
the Republicans. Nevertheless, the
experiment is to be made, and for that
purpose Mr.. Columbus DelanO, an old
gentleman who is something of a relic,
has been brought forward as witness,
and he is very willing one. He al.
ludes to Mr.. Blaine's scheme as "the
plausible and delusivc theory of free
trade among the nations of this hem
isphere," and announces that "its
adoption with those nations is incom-
patible with system of protection"
Mr.. Delano also makes this emphatic
remark: "The author of this move
ment is too sagacious not to behold in
the success Of his effort the ultimate
establishment of free trade generally"
Well, it is Republican family fight,
but it is little singular to see these
arguments advanced when it is known
that Mr.. Harrison has endorsed the
Blaine scheme, and that it will be fin
ally endorsed by a Republican con-
gress. Our opinion is that the nearer
Mr.. Blaine takes his followers to De-
mocracy, the better it will be for the
country.

FARMERS, you have been protecting
infant industries for 10 years. Henry
Clay, the great advocate of protection,
would not insult the intelligence of
the American people by preten ding
that the tariff benefited any but the
industries so protected. Modern pro-
tectiOnists are entitled to the honor of
discovering that the tariff protected
the farmer and laborer. Farmers,
there is no Canaan that you can be
taken to; no Moses will rise to lead
you, but you can save yourselves
You have the power i'll your hand
will you use it?

The latest Partisan novelty intro
duced into the New York market is
the "ballet barometer" 1t consists of
the figure of a coryphee on q thick
card, with this inscription beneath :
"Rose, rain; lilac, clangeable; blue,
fine weather" The skirt OF the dancer
is made of some gauzy material. satu-
rated with a chemical solution which
is sensible of every change in the
weather.

"THE Republicans in Congress have
a good deal to say about majority rule"
says the Savannah News, yet they do
not represent majority of the people
of the United States. The Republi-
cans in the Senate and House repre-
sent 5,440,2l6 Of the 1892, 1888 citi-
zens who voted when this administra-
ton was elected, being in the minority
by 5lO,050 votes. 1t is wrong, there
fore, to say that this is government
OF the people. 1t is government by
the speaker.

A FEMININE ATHLETE.-This is how
Lady Florence Dixie takes exercise
Since childhood she has always been an
early riser. Straight from her bed she
plunges into cold rub, and emerges
therefrom warm and glowing; she feels
the blood coursing through her veins
and the rude health which a good cir
culation always engenders. The cold
bath she never neglects; summer or
winter she welcomes it. Then, before
breakfast, a sharp walk, or perhaps a
quarter of miles quick run, or two
mile course at a slower pace, or gal
lop across country on horseback. Any
of these gives an appetite for breakfast
Later on she uses the dumb bells or In.
dim clubs, or freGuents the gymna
sium. In all athletic sports-rOwing
riding, cricket, lawn tennis, etc.-she
j. ut home, and, some say, is first
class hand.

oh and long and sloS, Tor fear the

on the street, when they repeat eacl
time they meet for luck"-ior that's
the way to greet fisher in the morn
ing. And when they're on the
rivers brink, again they drink with
out a wink-to fight malaria they
think it proper in the morn
ing. They tip a glass with true
delight when there's bite; if
ishing's light they smile"
the more jolly tight all fishing
they are scorning. Another
nip as they depart; one at
tho mart and one to part, but
none when in the house
they dart, expecting thcre'll
he mourning. This is the
bait the fishermen try who
buy at prices high, and
tell each one bigger lie OF
