FATHER GUAY,s CHARACTER.

SNoHONISH, Aug. u, 1881.
To THE EDITOR: For the purpose OF vindi-
eating the honor and character OF Father Quay,
late OF snohomish, desire TO make public the
following testimonial:
Almost a year ago Father Quay took up his
abode st snohomish as the parish priest for that
parish. had been long Identified with that
church, was widow, living with first one
family and then another, in order to earn my
way through the world. Being an experienced
housekeeper, was called upon to act as house.
keeper for Father Quay. / accepted the call,
and served In that capacity during all the time
that Father Quay was in Saohomish. Naturally,
l had an opportunity TO take cognizance of
everything that occurred in the house durin q
my stay there. At no time did ever see, hear
or know of anything done by Father Quay
which moral person would regard as wrong
His behavior at all times was that OF a gentle
man, an honest man and Christian. He was
devout and sincere in his religion, and in the
doctrine which he advocated, and with which
ii was ever his pride and JOY to inspire others
He was q total stranger to hypocrisy and
worshiper at the shrine of truth. Unfortun-
ately for him, he met In Snohomish a class OF
people who professed to be members of the
Holy Catholic church and to be its staunch sup
porters, who bore a near relation unto bar
barism. Church feuds and religious quar-
rels were the order OF the day during Father
Guay's stay at Snohomish, and these, naturally
enough, maintained perpetual uproar in our
society. 1t is but too well known how Father
Quay was abused just prior to his de-
parture from Snohomish, and the reasons
announced as a justification for SO abusing
him. 1t is easily understood why such
reasons would be given for such a deed when
the truth OF all the circumstances is known. 1t
would be useless for me at this time, however,
TO go into details, but let it suffice that there
was a disturbance which took place in our
church during the time that we gave our last
fair, which, together with numerous minor
causes, gave rise to malicious feelings on the
part of certain male members OF the church
against Father Quay. This was the remote
cause of the abuse and torture which Father
Quay suffered at the hands Of those very mem
bers who participated in the broil above referred
to- and yet to give color of justification for their
deed and TO win over public sympathy, those
individuals circulated the most disgraceful re-
ports of Father Quay. all of which are infamous
lies and without the least foundation. That
Father Quay is innocent of all charges made
against him. and that he is free from all iniquity
and crime, and that he has been made unjustly
the object of few mems jealous hatred and the
victim of their malicious designs, is the testi-
mony of one who had an opportunity to know
him better than others-of one who knew his
daily conduct during all his stay in Snohomish.

the government Of the United States
has been singuiarly clean of corruption IN
our century of life. The bitterness Of
party spirit has been manifested In false
partisan accusations preferred against
Alexander Hamilton and George NJ Robe
son, but these charges were completely ex-
ploded by investigation, and with the ex-
ception of Belknap. whose good name was
furnished by his wife's crime, compelling
him to resign and carry her cross,
the responsible high officers of our
government have never been furnished
with official corruption. while little Cam
ada's government has always been more
or less stained with official corruption or
gross political immortality, according to the
observation of English Governors General
like Lord Durham and Lord Dufferin.
Canada does well to worship God on Sup
day, but she ought to initiate the United
States and worship Him the rest of the
week, too; she ought to try and keep more
than one of the ten commandments; and
especially the one which forbids even q
Conservative statesman TO rob the treasury.

The estimated surplus crop yield in
Minnesota. the Dakotas, Kansas and Ne
braska will exceed in value 10000 900.
Kansas surplus crop is estimated at over
SOS, 900. coo which sum the Kansas City
Journal says is pretty good dividend to
be declared on the capital stock of the
Kansas farms, whose total value Senator
PETER recently estimated to be but $685.
100000 These great crops are sure to be
marketed at handsome prices. Bread
stuffs for July ran 90 per cent. in excess of
like exports for July, 1890, and 1t is ex-
pected that the SIPS, III $50 of breadstuffs
exported in the last fiscal year will reach

The Democrats predicted that, while the
Mckinley law might reduce the price OF
raw sugar, it would not lower that of
refined sugar. But the fact is that the
latter has fallen in due proportion, and
the consumers are reaping the benefit.
Not only has sugar fallen in price SO
that a dollar buys 25 pounds in Mime
apolis, but sheetings are advertised at 6
cents, lawns at 5, ginghams at Az and
calicoes at 3.

The July crop report is excellent.
Eighty-eight and half per cent. is the
lowest average-on tobacco. Spring-sown
rye is slightly under 80 per cent, as is also
oats. Both corn and spring wheat are
slightly above 80 per cent. Winter wheat
is already harvested, and so is much OF
the spring wheat. Corn is late, but fore
ing weather and an absence of early frosts
will insure a crop of 1000, oo0, 900 bushels.
Buckwheat, potatoes and barley have
respectively the highest percentages. Hay
shows 80 per cent.

Dr. Dawson, one of the English commission
ers TO investigate the sealing question in Boring
sea- ex pressed the opinion at Victoria that there
was mo danger of sealing being exterminated,
because the seal is an animal that cannot be
externinated." Captain Alcock, of the Cana
dian schooner D. c. Rand, says he never saw so
many seals on the beach and hillsides OF St.
Paul island as this year: He saw thousands
more than ever before; look where you would
il was full of seals; up the hillsdes as far as We
could see was one moving mass" Other cap
tains who have come into Victoria bring similar
reports, and captains of vessels who sail in the

usual numbers on their way north last spring.

The attacks on the missionaries and for
eigners in China are said to have been in
spired by revolutionary junta which
seeks to overthrow the present dynasty.
The misery produced by the floods and
famine makes it easy to stir up discomfort
among the people. Chief among these
conspirators is said to be Ii Hung Chang,
uncle of the emperor, and the ablest states
man of China. A rebellion is reported as
likely to break out about September 1st.

The scandals connected with Baine's politi-
cal career which figured so prominently against
him in 1884, would not be revamped by the
Democrats should he run for the presidency
again, in the opinion of Senator Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, who has been interviewed at Narragan-
sett Pier, R. l., by correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger. He could be nominated with
shout, thinks the senator, mo Republican is as
Blaine'--but his health and family influences
NAV prevent his consentng; his reputed oppo-
sition to the force bill and Mckinley tariff has
given him some popularity among Democrats.
