The People Want the News.


The Ledger this morning makes q comparison
between the Seattle and Tacoma papers, and at
tempts to prove the superiority of the latter by
the amount OF telegraph rot appearing in one of
the Tacoma papers. Any one who has ever read
the Seattle observation-disclosures will say that il
is as far ahead of the Ledger as . newspaper as
the Call is ahead of the News. ANY newsboy will
say that there are double the number of Posi-
1NTELLIGENcERs sold right here in Tacoma than
there are Ledgers, and the Gail will wager that
copy OF the Ledger cannot be given away in this
Northwest country if copy of the PosT-INTEL-
LIGEScER can be bought There can be but one
answer to this The Seattle Posi- INTKLLIaENCER
is far superior as a newspaper TO the LEDGER. 1t
has often been remarked in the presence of the
Cali editor: "Why 10 it Tacoma can not compete
with Seattle or Portland in the way of news
papersT Go where you will on the boats on
the Sound or the trains, and you will always
find the Portland and Seattle pGpers-but not a
Tacoma paper. Now, this is either lack of
enterprise or the public do not want Tacoma
papers when they can get papers containing
more news. Telegraph rot-murders, suicides
and the like-is good enough for those who seek
sensational reading, bu: Tor the news, gotten up
in a bright, crisp. brief form-without malice
and personal spleen injected in every line-is
what the people want and will have if they have
to go to a neighborng town to get it

the washes given in this bulletin for winter
spraying are of such strength as will destroy the
egg germs, If properly applied. The soap and

applied. These washes should be used in every
orchard in Washington. Every person pur-
chasing young trees should see that the same

The San Jose scale, greedy scale and woolly
aphis are the insects to be guarded against
more than any other this season, and for pro-
lection it will pay to wash every tree being
planted or that Is now in the orchard. Mer-
chants are forbidden TO dispose of fruit boxes,
etc., for the use OF fruit again unless fumgated.
All growers should avoid the practice of pick
Ing up boxes promiscuously from fruit stands
unless they have been thoroughly disinfected,
because from this source many orchards have
been infested.
There are many beneficial insects, which de-
stroy the injurious insects; the practice of

them. Most birds are Of great benefit TO horti-

I've Important Pierce County Decisions
"A Seattle Case Argued.

"A Seattle Case Argued.
OLYMPIA, Nov. TO- Especial lin deciding the
Pierce county case of Blocker, respondent, VS..
sstsop Railroad Company, appellant, today the
supreme court, in an opinion by Judge Dunbar,
settled the law of this state upon jurisdictional
question The action was orig inally brought for
$3.50, and the plaintiff recovered $l56. In the
supreme court the plaintiff moved to dismiss the
appeal for the reason that the net sum In contro-
versy did not amount to $780, and that therefore
an appeal was not authorized by the eonstitu.
tion. The court holds that appeals may be taken
in cases in which the original amount in contro-
versy, that Ii, the amount sued for, exceeds the
sum OF 800. On the merits the court
reverses the Judgment of the court below and
remands the case with instructions to grant the
non-sui, asked for by defendant The question
In the case was one OF agency. The defendant
directed one Pritchard, the manager of tug, to
freight fifty tons of hay. The tug being other
wise engaged, said manager turned the contract
over to another person, who hired the plaintiffs
scow in moving the hay. On the trip the scow
sprung leak, and the hay and scow were dam
aged and the defendant refused to receive the
hay The plaintiff sued for compensation and
for damages, and obtained q verdict. The court
holds that Pritchard had no authority to en-
ploy any one for the defendant, and that even II
he bad accepted the employment himself his
relation to,the defendant would only have been
that OF q common carrier. The defendant would
have been held for the value of the services, but
there the responsibility would have ended.
An opinion by Judge Scott was fled In the
Pierce county case of Rourk vs.. Miller, revers-
ing the judgment of the superior court on the
pleadings in an action to foreclosa mechanics
lien. The court holds that though the answer
was defective 1t Is entitled to be literally con.
strued against motion for Judgment, and If IL
can be gathered from the pleadings that an
issue is rendered by the answer upon material
matter the moving party should not prevail.
The appeal OF Scott VS.. Burns ct al, from
Pierce, was dismissed for failure to file a trans-
cript, and because notice OF appeal was not
served on all defendants.

CALCUTTA, Nov. 10.-Details regarding the
cyclone, which passed over this part of India on
Monday of last week. show that the damage
done is very extensive. Besides the loss Of
seventy-seyen lives, occasfoned by the sinking
OF the Indian government steamer Enterprise,
which foundered at Andaman islands, and the
killing of sixty conv1cts, there no doubt has
been large loss of life at other places along the
coast Advices from various parts of Orissa, a
province in Bengal, state that a cyclone passed
over that section of country and did great
damage.
The cyclone cleared a path through the
forests, uprooting gigantic trees and hurting
them aside as though they were reeds. No
house could stand the terrible energy of the
gale and every dwelling or other structure
within the path of the cyclone was either
swept from its foundations or turned over.
The wind also did much damage below CAL
cutta. AS Ia well known, the river is the natural
outlet for the Ganges and Brahmapootra

Hoogly river, the western-most branch

TORONTO, Nov. 10.-Goldwin Smith read a
paper on "Jingoism'' before the Young Mems
Reform Club here last evening. It attracted
considerable attention for the reasons, first, be-
cause he came out unreservedly for the annexa-
ton OF Canada to the United States, which he
said was Canadas inevitable destiny; and, Sec
ond, because it was the last political lecture he
will deliver, as he intends in the future to con-
fine his attention to finishing some literary work
he now has on hand. In the course of his lee
ture he asked If ''jingoism" in the Dominion
really wished to provoke war with the United
States. If SO, had they measured the chances of
such a war? In challenging the United States
the Canadian jingos always assume that they
have Great Britain behind them but they forget
that the great mass of English people were not
in temper TO 90 to war with America on the
Canadian question. He had no doubt but that
by Americans generally Canada would be well
coined if she came into the Union of her own
accord

The Last Of the Boulogne Core

A NEW CHAIRMAN AGREED TO.
All tho Disgraced Leader Required Was
Written Pledge From Gladstone, to
Be Published After FuIfillment.

DUBLIN, Nov 10-william oBrien publishes
long letter in the Freemda's Journal, denounc-
ing the conduct of Redmond and Harrington In
trying to deceive the Irish public, by pretend
ing, on the strength of their hope that he had
lost ParnelIs letter, that IL disclosed treaehery
toward Parnell and their liberal allies.
OBrien now gives the letter to the
world, together with his own reply, the only let
ter he wrote to Parnel during the Bouiogne
negotiations not yet published. Parnelrs letter
to O'Brien suggests that Mccarthy interview
Gladstone and get written memorandum en-
bodying the assurances already given as 10
land and police, and transfer it to the
custody of OBrien; that If the memoir
andum was satisfactory TO both Par
nell and O'Brien the former would an
nounce his retirement from the craftsmanship;
that the terms OF the memorandum should not
be disclosed until a home rule bill was intro
duced, and not then unless the bill was unsatis-
factory, but after the passage of a satisfactory
bill Parnell should be permitted to publish
the memorandum. Instead of two
years. limit within which the constabu-
larry should be disarmed and con-
verted into civil force, Parnell agreed that the
time might be expended to five years, but said
1t was of vital Importance that some limit
should be fixed. The letter, in conclusion,
gives OBrien permission to show 1t to Red
mond's brother and Gill.

telegraphed it TO Mr. Harrington. who replied
that PANELS proposals were subject to o Brien

At the same time o'Brien wrote to Parnen
70 the effect that the proposals
were feasible provided Mccarthy continued
as chairman. otherwise as the Hay
warden plans involved the employment of
Mccarthy in painful transaction they would
raise formidable difficulty. O'Brien concludes
with the expression Of the belief that they
would be able to devise some other
equally satisfactory plan. In post
script he says he consulted Red
mond and Gill, and agreed that when they
met next May they would be able to arrange a
modus viyendi O'Brien contends that the cor
