Menelik III. is so1 of King H8lou, who
reigned in the south of the country, so by the
union OF the two powers and conquest of much
other territory he is the most powerful ruler
the nation ever had. His army consists OF
about 600 men, OF whom 40 900 are armed in
the best European fashion, with repeating
rifles, mitrailieuse and rified cannon.
Abyssinia also manufactures its own powder,
30 the agreement of European powers to keep
warlike materials out of interior Africa has no
effect there.
Mene.ik is the son of q beggar woman whom
his father took fancy for, and she still lives,
in great honor, the mother of the most powerful
monarch IN Africa. The king is an ardent ad-
vocate of introducing European civilization,
and to encourage his people mastered the trade
OF clock making and also learned enough about
gunnery TO put together his mitralleuse. His
country is among the most interesting in the
world. For ages Ii was sort of Christian
island in an ocean OF paganism, and the claims
OF its kings TO direct descent from solomon and
the queen of Sheba have often been matters of
inquiry, song and romance,

WHAT is pIsnoNoKEp CURRENCY.

Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon, tele-
craphed from Portland under date of De
cember 6, saying that he desired Crisp
elected speaker because he believed she
would favor legislation which required the
free coinage of both gold and silver. and
that he would also favor the removal from
the statute books of congress of the privi-
lege now given to every money loaner in
the land 20 dishonor portion of the ma
tional currency"
Suppose that free coinage OF silver was
declared today by repeal of all the Re-
pnblican party's legislation from the act Of
1873 down to that of July Ii. 1890
that would be the RESULT The result
ronld be the replacement of 3 limited
annual purchase ofsilver bullion as basis

dollar OF which is equal TO and exchange

currency would be the money in which
everv wage Garner would be paid,

denounces would then be in full feather;
he could stipulate by private contract
that be should be paid in gold. and if
there was any doubt as 10 the legal
enforcement of his contract he would
only have to button up his pocket and

ness. and he would pay off his labor
in these clipped silver dollars that
Governor Pennoyer's free coinage of silver
would create and circulate, making food
OF cheap money. Labor would find it i'm
possible, when we were driven down to
silver standard, TO make and enforce pri-
yate contract that dollar paid for wages
should be dollar in gold instead of a
silver dollar worth Is cents less than
dollar in gold
Under these circumstances who would
be responsible for this "dishonor of a
portion of the national currency" repre-
sented by the distance of 25 cents between
the silver dollar paid labor and the gold
dollar exacted by and paid to the money
lender when borrowing labor hired money
OF capital7 Would not Governor Pennoyer
and his political congIomerate of knaves,
cranks, demagogues, featherheads, blad-
derheads and blatherskites be responsible
for this wholesale dishonor of "a portion
OF the national currency2"
Free silver coinage would preeipitate Us
to the silver standard, and rob labor by
forcing him to take his pay in clipped
dollar.
Any "dishonor of a portion of the
national currency" in this situation is
forced by free silver coinage. Governor
Pennoyer? OF course God could have
made man and put more bees in his
bonnet than are hived in the head Of Gov
ernor Pennoyer, but God never did.

THE GAMBLING HABIT.

The prevalence of the gambling habit
on this Coast ought not to receive any en-.
couragement from respectable people I'M
der any pretext.
Archbishop Ireland, OF the Roman
Catholic church IN Minnesota, has for
hidden every practice that in any way re-
sembles q lottery ct Catholic fairs. He
sees clearly that the church cannot afford
to countenance the vicious principle of
gambling, even when the proceeds are de-
voted to worthy objects. Education to
the gambling habit cannot be justified,
even when pursued under the patronage
and regulation of churches, benevolent
fairs, etc.
1t Is noteworthy fact that in colonial
Now England, under tho rule of the stern
Puritan theocracy, lotteries were author
ixed and regularly resorted to for public
objects of all sorts. Public bridges were
built by the help of lotteries, and Harvard
college resorted to lotteries to help itself a
century ago, The leading churches of
New Orleans that today are banded against
the Louisiana lottery did not hesitate to
resor. to them TO raise funds as late rs
1896
1t is only within the last fifty years that
state lotteries have been absolutely forbid
den in nearly all English-speaking coun-
tries as contrary topublic policy Lotteries
are still authorized occasionally by the gov
eminent OF France; the Panama canal
loan scheme was associated with a govern
ment lottery. The comparatively recent
extinction of lotteries by England and the
United States and the popular prevalence
of such lotteries as those forbidden by
Bishop Ireland is proof of the fact that
man is naturally q gambling animal

DR.. III. w. Wiley, chemist of the depart

the department from Medicine Lodge,

in the chemical division last winter. He
declares that 156 pounds of first sugar per

PALACE SALOON.
A Large, Leading and Ever Popular
Saloon.

No better finished, more commodious
or popular saloon and club rooms are to
be found in the CITY or the Gravs harbor
country than that owned and presided over
by Colonel George w. Crummey, a
gentleman who enjoys wide reputation
as IL popular and painstaking host and a
business man of integrity and substance.
In the Palace bar will be found the
finest of brandies, gins, runs, rye and
bourbon WHISTLES from the best distil-
ieries. wines Of celebrated vintages, and
the best brands of cigars. Polite and at
tentive bar-keepers only are employed,
Mr.. Heck Mckenzie, who is we'll known
to lovers of a refreshing draught, being
the chief of the mixologist staff. The
large room Immediately in the rear Of the
bar is devoted to games Of every kind
and is favorite for those who care to try
their chances with the tickle Goddess of
Fortune. Adjoining the Palace saloon is
the Palace cafe OF which Mr.. Crummey
is also proprietor. This fine restaurant
is fitted up with every convenience known
to the culinary art, and although not
running at present, it only awaits the
coming of some first class restauranteur,
to whom the genial colonel, with his
usual public-spirtedness, will turn it
over for a nominal consideration. Colonel
Crummey is likewise proprietor of the
Palace theater, a review of which appears
elsewhere in this issue. He is a
thorough believer in the bright future
prospects OF Aberdeen and has shown
his practical faith by the establishment
OF these three enterprises at a cost Of
about $4,000.

Reporters differ in many ways Some
are purely descriptive, in some abump Of
humor is magnificently devel ped, some
permeate story, short or long, with in
dicles of personality Other are cast
iron IN recital, and make their stories as
piqnant as an agebraic problem. A good
reporter, gifted with natural spirits and
health, is thing of beauty and joy for
ever in any we'll regulated newspaper
office. Every door is open to him, and
the field OF life is spread before liiln with
its sunshine and its shadow. In the
course OF an evening he talks with presi-
dents and walks with princes. He sits
with the sorrowful and mourns with the
humble. In church today, in Jail tomor-
row; merrily dancing with the Arion this
evening, deep down in coal pits with
striking miners some other evening.
Now he interviews magnate OF the land,
and now takes the dying deposition of a
butchered thief. Part OF an evening is
spent at a cathedral fair, part in polit-
ica] fair, part in police headquarters,
part in the debris of railroad collision.
No place is too sacred, none too
lowly, no man too high, too rich, too
poor, too humble for him to serve.
He is as much at home in the palace of
Il millionaire as in hospital ward of a
prison. He writes with equal readiness
the glib utterances of befrilled bishop,
and the narrowing confessions of poor
devil in the Tombs. A good reporter
must be discreet. How much he hears
that he cannot tell; how much he knows
that it would not be fair for him to re-
veal Joe Howard in New York Graphic.

One on Senator Allen.

Senator Squire played scurvy trick on
Senator John B. Allen one time, says an
exchange. They were travelling from
Washington. 1t was night and the train
stopped at station in Missouri, where Il
large heavy woman entered the sleeper,
looking for a berth.
Squire poked his head out between the
curtains and seeing the ponderous lady,
said:
Madame, the berths are all taken,
but if yon wish you can occupy the one
just under me, where my little hoy Is
sleeping"
This WAS satisfactory to the Missouri
amazon, who removed her shoes and
swung around into the bunk. About this
time the disturbed occupant attempted
to rise to see what the intrusion meant.
With one full swoop OF her palm she
clapped it squarely over his mouth, say
ing: 'There, honey. don't speak, your
father said l could sleep here"
Again the Senator attempted to rise,
and this time he managed to say:
Madame, l want to tell you that Pm
no boy"
'Who are you Them?
"Why, I'm Sena4or Allen from the
State of Washington, he exclaimed.
ooh, Lordn' she yelled, and sprang
up and dashed out OF the car, exclaiming
to the CONSERVATION OF everyone but
Squire: "Oh. Lord! What would Hiram
say if he knew"

ABERDEEN BAKERY.
The Reliable and Popular Bakers of
Aberdeen and Grays Harbor.

While Aberdeen was still in her pr m
tive garh, there came to Grays harbor
two entcrprising young gentlemen seek
ing location Tor bakery. Many new
Towns were visited, but after brief So
journ in the then village of Aberdeen,
they wisely decided to cast anchor, as
they were far-sighted enough to foretell
that this would become the metropolis
and CENTRAL distributing point for all the
Grays harbor and tributary country and
they were not wrong in their predictions.
These gentlemen were Messrs. Rpinboth
Bros, proprietors of the Aberdeen bakery
on Heron street, first door west of the
postoffice. They are skilled in their
chosen profession, as the lucrative and
ever increasing trade they enjoy is ample
evidence. They enjoy the distinction of
being the first to establish bakery on
Grays harbor, and in the early days of
their career they supplied bread and
pastry to many vessels coming 10 this
port, besides logging camps and neigh
bo'ing towns, Il large share OF which
patronage they still retain, although
having many competitors. Their ICE
cream and other summer Injuries have
become psoverbial in their perfection,
and as caterers for parties and balls these
gentlemen are unexcelled. They always
have on hand a full supply Of fresh bread
and pastry, besides carrying Il large line
OF excellent foreign and domestic cigars
