Mr.. s. C. Hyde. of spokane Falls. who
has been prosecuting attorney there for
seven years, is in the city. stopping at the
Rainier. Mr.. Hyde lived in Seattle thir-
teen years ago. During the recent contest
at Spokane between Congressman Wilson
and Judge Tuner, Mr.. HYDE was one of
Mr.. Wilson's most efficient supporters.

been the subject of much commend alton
from the farmers east of the mountains.
Then, too, the spec ial bills for Washing
ton, the most prominent of which | have
tou ched upon, have brought the party and
Its representatives many strong supporters
In every part OF the state. So if Congress
man Wilson had between 1900 and 1000
majority before. he viii have a good chance
for at least 1900 next November. The
claims OF the Democrats that the increase
IN population IN this state will increase
their relative power seems to me absurd.
For IN the first place. the people who have
come here are largely from Republican
states. and are Republicans. Then. too,
their character inciines them toward the
Republican party. The men and women
who are coming into the Northwest repre-
sent the bes. blood, bone and
brain OF the whole country. They
re intelligent and we'll educated.
and the very fact of their coming shows
their pluck and push. have watched the
people on the streets, and those in the cities
OF this state are finer looking than those in
the cities OF the East You can see the
difference IN their faces and bearing. Such
men do not 60 10 swell the RANKS of the
Democratic party, but of the Republican.
The Democra Is viii be unable to make
any substantial gain in the legislature. At
the last election the senators and represen-
ta1ve were elected on one ticket for each
county. In that way county that was
republican by even one majority might
have elected all of the Republican sena-
tors and representatives. But now with
the separate districts the Democrats viii
De able TO pick up a man here and there !;
but not enough TO canse the slightest ap-
prehension OF the weakening OF the Repub-
hcan party in the legislature.

Smuggling Opium.

IT. Il. Morse. OF Chicago, has been m
official iE the Chinese Custom, Service
nearly twenty years lie tells sbmc in
teresting facts about the opium tnifc.
IAN the opium that comes f1 this
.nnuutry fro,n China aAld az, 'Is seut
from Hong Kong, which is free pert Of
entry. While vast quantity of OPIUM
is raised in China, no accurate estimate
has ever been made. Each year India
sends 10, 600. 900 pounds of the drag to
China and about 1,OOO, 900 pounds are
imported from Persia. This is the raw
drug which Is boiled in Hong Kong
"Whilc the Chinese laws against
opium smuggling are more stringen, than
those of this country, the Hong Kong
smugglcrs get lots Of opium into other
Chinese ports. The most common
method is to put up the drug in tins and
throw the boxes overheard in the 'ivers
before reaching port. The packages are
tied to weights and anchored to floating
RATS of bamboo. Then the bamboo
floats are picked up by the smugglc~ and
the opium taken ashore.
Erich and powerful are the long
Kong smugglcrs. They are organized in
large bands, with almost perfect methods
of operation. If the drug is taken over
the mountains, armed band, are employed
to transport it. We have Chinese t'oops
in the Customs Department and ,harp
fights between the soldiers and ,mug.
glcrS are of frequent occurrence. '--N.1
