Flax Is In fine condition aud the
acreage is about double that of last
year or any previous year.
The season has been excellent for
wild and tame grasses and the hay
crop will be something enormous.
Fruit trees of every description are
hanging full or actually breaking
down with their loads Of fruit and
there will be no end to The supply Of
peaches, apples, pears, plums, cherries
and grapes.
With our immense crops of grain,
grass and fruit, our mineral and coal
resources, we would like to know
where there is u county within the
confines of civilization that will com
pare with ours. Beyond the shadow
of q doubt Cherokee county possesses
more agricultural and mineral wealth
than any county in Kansas and the
calamity shrieker will have 10 pass
beyond our borders in order to be re-
ceived as prophet or even the son of
a prophet.
1t Is estimated that the Kansas
wheat crop will reach up TO between
so and 60 millions of bushels, and the
present indications are that prices will
be remunerative. All foreign coun-
tries report short crops and the foreign
demand for cereals will be better than
it has been since 1881. II farmers
are wise they will not rush all their
grain on the market at once but hold
it for at least fair prices, which they
are sure to obtain before another crop
can be raised.

kiAlcy, Mr. Reed and Mr.. Lodge, who
III the Language OF senator Ingalls,, led
the most powerful organization in
American politics To- the most stupcnd-
ou4 and overwhelming defeat in its
history. II we are more prosperous
than other nations, IL i mainly be-
cause We have free trade over larger
area than any other nation in the
world. This free trade between all
our States and Territories results to
the advantage ul all, and not Of some
at the expense OF others. According
to Mr.. Mckinley, trade is impossible
unless one ui the two traders get
cheated lie objects To foreign com
mcrce because ii il is good for the
foreign nations II must hc bad for us,
and yet he acknowledges that Illinois
and New York may trade freely to the
advantage oi both.
why should we have free trade
with other nations" he asked We
can't reach any other nation. We
can't tiX it. The foreigner is exempt
from all duties of government. Tell
me why he should enjoy the privileges
of citizenship in the United States and
its markets. Well, we are not now
much interested in free trade, but Mr..
Mckinley doubtless uses the term to
cover any reduction for the tariff.
our reasons why We should have re-
du'cd tariil are that, mainly owing to
the Mckinley law, the people are fast
finding out that the tariff is tax;
that il is paid 10y the consumer; that
where the American manufacturer
uses the tariff which Mr.. Mckinley
made for his benefit, the American
Consumer pays the tariff tax just the
same, even il ii goes to an American
manufacturer instead Of to the Govern
mcnt that according to the New
York Tribune American manufacturers
have benefited 10y some slight reduc-
tons on raw materials. permitted by
Mr.. Mckinley; that according to il
number Of American manufacturers
they have been seriously injured by
the increases of duty on raw material
secured by Mr.. Mckinley for the ben
eft Of some one who had a "pull;" :"
that the manufacturers for whom Mr..
Mckinley's tariff does the most, have
taken the lead in making reductions
of wages, and finally, the tariff ought
to be reduced because unnecessary
taxation is unjust taxation, and taxa
ton of the whole people for the bene-
fit Of small class of the people is II
gross abuse of .hc powers of the Gov
ernment.

John Leary's Confession.

The annual reportof the Board of
Regents of the State University is
rough upon John Leary, H. L. Yesler
and several other Seattle gentleman.
MIR. Leary signs the report as Presi-
dent OF the Board of Regents and it is
therefore, so far as he is concerned, a
confession. In that report is given q
list of notes due the University. In
that list Leary and two others is
down for six months note, $500.
Thad Hanford and Frank Hanford,
brothers of Judge Hanford, are down
for 800; Andrew Chilberg and H. L.
Yesler for 800; Lawyer Charles X.
Jenner of Seattle for $3.50, and 1. NJ.
Hall and S. l.. Crawford one day note,
500. All the notes foot up 81 ,O37 81.
The first one was given in 1862 and
the last one February 1889. The
board, Mr.. Leary, President, comment
ing on these notes says: "The above
notes all carried interest at one per
cent. per month or upwards, and are
the evidence of loans formally made
by the University regents to the indi-
viduals named. Practically nothing
can be realized from the said loans, as
most OF them are outlawed and worth
less, and were unsecured. They were
permitted to languish away their virilty
before the beginning of this boards
term Of Office"
The foregoing is fine admission
for Mr.. Leary to make, as we'll as
tough reflection upon the other gentle
men who figure in the blacklist.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
should call meeting at once and
make an investigation. More reform
gentlemen!

Mr.. Mckinley IL Growing Worse.
National Democrat

The defeat of himself and his party
has cmbittcrcd Major William McKin-

pointment he says many foolish things
and the more he talks the more angry
and foolish he becomes. In his speech
at Worcester last week, hc said Of the
alleged work Of the Fifty-iirst Congress
that no Democratic majority in Con
grcss that will lie elected in the next
ten years will be able 10 repcalit. Ac-
cor,ling to the dispatches this elected,

We are not surprised. The Demo

by n majority Of the people of the

the will Of the people will be defeated,
and popular government, just To that
extent, will he destroyed. What Major

timcnt that Republicans in Senator

to keep control Of the senate, which

Presidency, which is filed by the Flee
toral College. so that the House, which
l. filled 10y the people, will hc power
less. and majority Of the citizens OF
the United States will be deprived for
the next ten years Of the power Ia

reciprocity with Cuba. The Spanish
Minister will hear OF nothing that
does not include the free admission of
Cuban tobacco, which is a conces ion
that is beyond the power of Mr.. Bl4ine
to grant. Not having any confidence
in the ability of Gen. 4. Bird Grubb,
of New Jersey, the present Minister to
Spain, who is ignorant of the Spanish
language and without diplomatic ex-
perience, ex Minister J. w. Foster has
been sent to Spain with the a!tilaa-
ton OF Mr.. Harrison, in the shape of a
threat to retain the present duty or
Cuban sugar if reciprocity is not
agreed to by The Spanish government.
The outcome OF this matter is looked
forward to with considerable interest,
as the sugar schedule of the tariff law
will 60 into effect, April |, and Cuban
sugar will be admitted free Just the
same as sugar from Brazil and other
countries, unless Mr.. Harrison shall
take advantage Of the power conferred
upon him by the tariff act and order the
present duty continued.
Although it has been nearly three
weeks since Congress adjourned, it is
still impossible to get correct idea OF
all the pernicious legislation enacted
into laws or of the exact amount of
money carried by the appropriations
tucked away in corners of bills of all
sorts. Every day something is dis
covered showing a new and unexpect-
ed appropriation, or new piece of un-
explainable botch legislation. Secre-
tary Noble has discovered what he
considers $3,OO0,OO0 steal in connec-
ton with one of the Indian bills, and
he says the money shall never be paid
if it is in his power to prevent it, but
owing to the fact that several promi-
nent Republicans are to get q big
slice OF the money in the shape of at
torney's fees it is doubtful whether any
remonstrance on the part of Mr.. Noble
will prevent the steal being consul
mated
The two Indiana rs" Harrison
and Huston have, it is said made
friends and that Oft offered resigna-
ton has again been withdrawn.

The Alliance and the Governor.

The Walla Walla Alliance at its
regular meeting held on the 2Stll
ult., passed the following resolutions
condemnatory of Gov. Laughton's clean
sweep OF anti-corporrtion legislation:
WHEREAS, The constitution oil
Washington provides certain remedies
from excessive freight charges over
lines within the State and
WHEREAS, A law was passed reduc-
ing freight charges, by 10 per cent
upon the present schedule rate; also
a measure causing railways to furnish
rail connection rum one system to
another system; and providing relief
by fencing to prevent destruction OF
farmers stock, and providing for COM
pensation for losses-all these salu.
tary measures for relief were ignomin-
iously rendered of no effect by the
autocratic veto power OF said Governor.
Therefore, be it
Resolred, That the action of said
Governor is most emphatically con-
demned by this Alliance, now in ses-
sion. We look with horror and dis
may upon the spectacle of a high
officials truculency to corporation
interests, and his utter disregard of
the most sacred interests OF the COM
mon citizen farmers Of the Great In
land Empire. His action upon these
matters conclusively proves to us that
a determined stand must be made to
secure the rights of the common peo-
pie, as against the empowering in
fiuences of the great transportation
companies doing business in our
midst. Words are too week to express
our detestation of such prostitution
OF the peoples highest officers powers
to serve private interests.

A NEW LABOR PARTY.
The Industrial Alliance an Aid to the
Farmers Alliance.

A new factor in politics has made its
appearance, with Boston for its birth
place. 1t will be known as the Indus
trial Alliance, and proposes to cqeper-
ate with the Farmers Alliarce. !. It is
the old labor party in new form, but
it is better organized, and il reports
are true, it will be hustler.
Knights of Labor, trades unions, Ma
tionafists, Socialists, and all others in
favor OF legislation for the industrial
classes were invited to join the new
party. With this end in view the Al
lance has put forth the appended de-
claration of principles:
First-Government control of rail-
ways, telegraph, express lines, mines,
gas and electric works, and all other
natural and private monopolies which
are oppressive to the people.
Second-That all local natural mo-
nopolies, such as street railways, gas
and electric lighting, should be placed
under municipal control.
Third-The abolition of the poll tax
as condition precedent to voting.
Fourth-Not more than eight hours
should constitute days work for pub.
lie employees.
Fifth-Annual as opposed to bien-
NAL elections.
Sixth-That the employment OF pri.
vate armed bodies, such as the Pinker-
tons, should be made penal offense.
Seventh-That the taking of money
under the guise of fines from weavers
and other employees should be prohibit
ed.
Eighth-That land held for specula-
tive purposes should be taxed to its
full value.
Ninth-The amendment OF contract
labor laws.
Tenth-That the hours of labor of
women and children should be further
reduced by legislation.
Eleventh-That the school aye for
children should be raised.
Twelfth-That the Government is
sue money without the intervention OF
private corporations.
Thirteenth Equal rights Of suffrage,
regardless of sex, free coinage of silver,
and the election of United States Sena-
tors BY popular popular vote,

The methods of mind readers may
be shown to be those OF the conjurer
and the mountebank. Muscle-reading,
on the other hand, is a subject worthy
OF serious investigation. Muscle-rcad.
ing is the perception by one person Of
all extremely slight, involuntary action
OF the muscles of another with whom
he is in contact. The contact is usual
ly made by taking the hand or wrist
of the subject, though there are various
other methods. Connection is made
sometimes even by means Of copper
wire. The muscular action that is felt
by the principal is so slight as TO be al
most imperceptible. In fact, in many
cases it is so delicate that, while the
principals own muscles are affected by
it, it is not made known TO conscious.

WEALTH OF THE ROTHSCHILDs.-The
Rothschilds are believed to have $50,-
100000 invested in American securi
ties. Only the Rothschilds them
selves know what they are worth, and
they never tell family secrets. One OF
their notices is, "Gold never repeats
what it sees," and another, "a man
will not tell what he has not heard"

had from the fact that since 1916 they
have raised for Great Britain alone
