SENATOR SANDERS, OF Montana, de-
c'arcs that the debat on the silver
problem are becoming tiresome, and
that not vote has been changed by all
the talk so far heard In the senate At
the same time the senator Is loading up
for q speech himself. The logic OF the
gentleman from Montana therefore
places him in the position Of mating
that ho is the only man in the senate
who can treat mis- important question IN
way that will not be tircsome to his
hearers, and deliver speech that will
make votes for the silver interests. 1t
Is more than probable that the other
senators hayean idea that their speeches
are doing tho work, and they will look
upon the Montana mans speech In the
same light that he looks upon their ora
torical Efforts Senator Sanders is not
polite, or he would never have fallen
into that stupid pluDder.

In tho Palouse country fall wheat and
rye arc beginning to head out. Now
that the grain is sufficiently high TO
hade the cool, moist ground, all danger
OF short crop has practically passed.
Although a great deal of rye Is sown in
this country, it is nearly all cut for hay.
This year several carloads of seed rye
had to be brought into the state, the
farmers failing to let enough mature for
seed. Ofcourse, this was unnecessary,
as tho best of rye can be grown in this
state, But the only market for that grain
Is that created by the demand for seed,
and nobody seems TO think o. catering
TO that.

AT last there is reason TO believe that
congress will declare the forfeiture of
the unearned land grant Of the Northern
Pacific between Wallula and Portland,
Or This declaration might have been
made years ago. The railroad company
long since rclinquished all claim TO that
portion OF the grant, through which II
has never built line of road. and has
repeatedly acknowledged IL, abandon
ment There has always been q strong
sentiment in congress, however, In ia
vor of also declaring forfeited all lands
through which the company failed, by
reason of financial difficulties. to build
its lines within the period stipulated by
the granting act. This element was OPP
posed to every forfeiture bill limited TO
the Wallula- Portland part OF the grant,
believing that It's passage by congress
would he a tacit confirmation of the
company's claims in other directions.
Thus the matter has been tied up for
years, working innumerablo harships
upon intending settlers, and also upon
settlers who bought from tho railroad
company, aud after improving and
beautiiying their homes, found them
selves without means OF obtaining title.

EXPLORER STANLEY reads the riot act
to Lord Salisbury in a way that is both

that Great Britain will not concode any

titioned cut between the British lion
and the Fatherland, and the crumbs
that fall to the other powers will not be
worth quarreling about. Capriyl may
bluster q little, and Salisbury may an.
pear iniirm, but England will have her
share Of African territory, and she will
not fight for II either. The world will
not catch these powers engaging in q
war over that matter, since that would
throw all the fat in tho fire. Mr.. Stan,

be patient hc will find that Salisbury

oflen seen in the dawn OF the twentieth

adoption OF all the fOlllcs Of civilization

seen In the average red man who hangs

charity and extravaganco of the inhab-

at long intervals an exception Is found
that proves the rule. Such an excep-
ton was seen upon the streets OF Spo-
