A STRONG CANDIDATE
Ex- Governor Miles G. Moore Talks
About Congressman
Wilson.
An Insult to the State of WASH
ington Should Always Be
Resented.

Ex-Governor Miles G. Moore, who
was a guest OF State Senator Fair
weather, was seen by u REVIEW re-
porter Friday, and in answer to
the question, "W,at do you think
of Mr.. Wilson's affair with Beck
with?" said:
"I quite agree with the Oregonian
that ii was due to irritability, SUPER
induced by the hot weather; and
the moral of 1t is that congress
ought to adjourn. 1t has not in
jured him bit. We do not want
an insult to the state of Washington
to go unresented.
zone of the highest compliments
you can pay to mans administra-
tion Is that II Is more popular at its
close than at its beginning, and
John Wilson has certainly grown
in the esteem OF the people of WASH
ington.
"He has exceeded the expectations
even of his friends; and without in
tending any disparagement to our
senators, think Congressman Will
son has been our most useful repre-
sentative ut Washington"
"You come from Walla Walla,
governor, and / suppose are able to
speak of the crops in your locality
said the reporter.
The crops are good around Walla
Walla," answered the governor,
land in the Palouse country they
are very good. A gentleman ON
the train told me of field of 100
acres near Moscow that has pro-
duced siXty-siX bushels to the acre.
''The exceptional yield of wheat,
added to the good prices, Is great
encouragement to the farmers, and
1 believe the improved prices for
grains are due largely to the remon-
etization of silver, which was o re-
publican measure"
"Who Is Carroll, the democratic
nominee for congress-"
Carroll is n Grand Army man,
and very popular. He lives in Ia.
coma, and Is probably as popular u
man as could have been nominated.
The nomination creates no uneasi.
ness, however, In the republican
camp. We sit behind 10000 ma.
jority with great confidence" con.
cluded the governor.

Disappointing Gold Fields.
London News.

A<ohNAOh -NtWo.l
The gold fields of South Africa con-
tinue to disappoint the investing and
financial world. For May the ascer--
tanned produce of the witwatersand was
3S. s44 ounces of gold, worth about $780,
0oO, which Is only a trifle better than the
corresponding return for May, 1889, al
though more and better crushing
machinery has been set to work. That
gold Is still obtainabe, although not at
the fabuiously great and increasing rate
expected in the times of feverish specu-
iation. Is plain nevertheless. OF late in
vestors have been tempted to declare
that there is neither wit nor water. to
say nothing of gold, In the whole area,
which is an exaggerated way of putting
1t. The process known as picking out
the eyes, Of the mines went on more or
less generally when the public were only
too ready to believe in stupendous re-
turns however obtained. The tedious
process of systematic development has
now to be attended to. and within the
year we may hope to see results more
closely in accordance with the real
riches of the Witwatersrand than have
yet been obtained.

FAITHFUL to its pledges, the republican
party in congress is recasting tho tariff.
There is pretty plain lesson in the con-
fidence with which the interests and in
dustries of the Pacific Northwest await
the result of that important task. The
wool grower, the miner, the lumberman,
the fruit-grower and the manufacturer
go about their duties and display not the
faintest trace OF alarm regarding the out
come. Why this confidence? Because
they know that the tariff is in the hands
of the party that will protect their inter-
ests. Men arc not meeting all over the
state and sending circumstances and ap-
peals, as they were when the democracy
was tinkcring with the tariff, as they
would be If Grover Cleveland had been
elected. That is why Washington will
continue to be found in the republican
column.

Australian shssp-shearinE.
Chambers Journal.

At shearing time on large runs, all
the shearers live and mess by them-
selves. being in the nature of contract
ors, while the other hands--such as
yarders, pickers-up. wool-rollers. brand
ers, etc.-are paid weekly wages, and the
station-owner finds them in cook and
rations They mess and sleep in huts
apart from the shearers, and are termed
"roustabouts." Tho ''roustabout" cook
has also the care Of the woolshed over
seer and his assistant OH his hands, and
as o oclock draws near we see him ap-
preaching with a fagon or "billy," as it
termed, Of steaming hot coffee In his
hand and the usual slices of "brownie, 4"
or cake" On these we gratefully break
our fast, and the more satisfactorily
when we remember that all hands have
likewise been refreshed. AS weswallS
across to the woolshed we notice
streams of men issuing from the shear
ers' and roustabouts' hut, and on enter
ing We find some of the shearers al
ready at their respective places. These
have been balloted for on the previous
day, and no man is allowed to make
any change without permission of the
shed manager.
Each shearer has his own little door
way or opening through which he passes
mis- sheep when shorn into long, mar
neighbor. Presently every shearer has
arrived; the pickers.up, with so many
shearers apportioned TO each to attend
upon; the wool rollers ready at their
tables, and all watching eagerly the
movements of the manager as he ad-
vances, watch in hand to ring the bell.
The bell rings; the shearers dart into
hn tt..d tn
them, and bring out tho seemingly most
easily-to- be- -shorn sheep they can select
In the hurry ofthe moment, place 1t ON
its runp and shearinR has fairly COM
menced.
And what busy scene 1t is; and how
strong tho contrast presented between
the desolateness and the silence Of yes
activity Of to-day! As u rule, the men
take things easily at tirst, for the eager
man IL apt to "knock his hand up" and
anyway rams are not to be hurried
ever. They ore desirous, too.
at least most of them. of doing
fair work and of finding the "boss"
measure, which they very soon do.
that 1t is quite as often the fault of tho
shed manager by his want Of tact and
firmness, as the fault of the men that has
produced unpleasantness during the
rearing season. Men are but human
all the world over; and ms the shearer u
paid by the number Of sheep he shears,
time to him is money, and he tries, nat
urally enough, to shear ss many sheep
as he possibly can, so long as his style
"suits."s On the other hand, the posi-
ton of shed manager Is by no means an
enyiable one, ioy II is his object to get
"ali the wool ofF'-in short, he has to
please his employer, and to please the
men under charge rs well. IL Is not an
easy matter always, and generally hsis
glad whon shearing 10 over.

ALREADY the Oklahoma democrats
and alliance men have developed the
affinity that the REVIEW has repeatedly
predicted would ultimately be disclosed
wherever the republican party is strong
and the democrats weak. Are the
Washington farmers organizing only to
to make an "alliance" with the democ.
racy? Is the Farmers Alian,e bona
tide organization with a high and COM
mendabe purpose, or is 1t . democratic
kite-tail? Time will answer these
questions and determine whether the
alliance is to have long and useful life
or to cut its own throat by playing
second fiddle to very thirsty and
hungry party.

a New Uso for the Nickel.

IAN DSUlcT.
Somebody of an ingenious turn of
mind gives us tho metric system.
mot In u NUTSHELL = but in nickel.
1t is claimed that our nickel . cent
piece holds the key to the linear
measures and weights. The diam.
etcr Of this coin is two centimeters,
and Its weight Is five grains.
Five of them placed In row will,
of course, give the length of the
decimeter, and two of them will
weigh u decagramme. AS the kilo-
liter is u cubic meter, the key to
the measures of length, IL Ia also
the key to the measures Of capacity.
Any:person, therefore, who Is fort
unate enough to own a scent
nickel may carry in his pocket the
entire metric system of weights and
measures.

GREAT NORTHERN,
One of It's Best Engineers in the
City. but Unoommunioa-
tive.
Great Crops in the Broad Wheat
Fields OF the Big Bend
Country.

John +. Stevens, one of the divis-
ion engineers of the Great Northern
railroad, arrived in the city Mon
day. He has charge of the surveys
between Spokane ana the coast.
Mr.. Stevens has been In the woods
and mountains without connng out
since May 10. He has four parties
ut work and has been over all of the
country between here and the
Sound.
Interviewed by reporter, he had
nothing to say in regard to the pro-
posed route his road would take.
He says that Rand, Mentally d
Co.'s map, and in fact all the maps
yet published of the country on both
sides of the Cascade mountains, are
very inaccurate and give no true
description of the country.
1t has been popularity supposed
for u long time that there were but
one or two passes across which II
said to be very rough and absolutely
impossible.
Mr.. Stevens says that the country
is heavily timbered, and full of
water courses; but that 1t is no
rougher or more impossible than the
Rockies. 1t is great game country,
filed with deer, elk, mountain
sheep, mostly goats, and bear, and
the rivers and lakes TEEN with sal-
mon and trout.
THE BIG BEND WHEAT CROP.
Mr.. Stevens says that the wheat
yield of the Big Bend country will
be very large, and will average
thirty-fve bushels to the acre.
Around Waterville Is very rich
country, and there are several fields,
Mr.. Stevens said, which have pro-
duced ninety.six bushels of oats to
the acre.
The Big Bend country, according
to careful estimates, contains thirty
eight townships Of good, rich land,
that will produce wonderful crops,
without Irrigation, and that not
more than one-twentieth of this IL
broken. A general altitude of this
vast wheat country, tributary to
Spokane, is about $500 feet above
sea level.

LED INTO A TRAp.

Cnur d Alono City Times; There seems
to be u determination on the part OF
Judgt Turner and his political friends to
defeat John l.. Wilson's denomination
for congress. This seems strange on the
part OF Judge Turner, that no should at
this time be led into a trap from which
he can not hope to escape, and which
will place him In such n position as to
ruin all future hopes of his becoming n
senator, but perhaps heis impatient and
can not content himself to abide his time
for office. The Times believes he is
sounding his political death knell and
that in spite of all their opposition John
l.. Wilson will be reelected by larger
majority than before, for ho has shown
his perfect ability, and by his hard labor,
earnest endeavors, and having kept full
faith with the people, he has endeared
himself to them, and they will reward
so faithful servant.
