Spokane Revies: "At Palouse City the con-
templated enlargement of the farmers ware

factor in UNFOLDING prices this fall than il was
last. With increased storage facilities farmers
generally can afford 70 wait until remuneratiye

every cent possible themselves"
Port Townsend Leader: San ever increasing
throng OF tourists is headed towards Alaska this
season. The earliest steamers were well filed
with those who go to enjoy the scenery of that
wonderland, and each boat now carries an In
creased number OF passengers. Alaska Is at
tracing more attention than ever before"
Spokane Spokesman: "The Spokesman sug-
gested recently that If the Farmers Alliance be-
Heves, as it says il does, that the government is
lending its credit to national banks, then the
farmers should organize national banks, as they
easily can do, so to avail themselves of this
government credit"
Tacoma Ne,ss: I'm changing old names and

seemingly, have the people been able to
free themselves from the inherited faint Of
revoiutionism and armed, turbulent resist
ance TO popular decisions not conformable
with their preferences or selfish interests.
In the Central American states for
while there seemed fair prospect Of COM
pact union on lines OF true republicanisn.
But this has been rudely dispeiled BY
fresh ebulIitions of petty iealousies and
contentious, so that those states are now
in a condition Of unrest, discord and inse-
curity seldom excelled at any previous
period of their existence as independent
states.
The condition OF Chill is too familiar, es-
pecially in this section. whose large and
growing trade with that country has been
brought 10 q standstiIl. The late action of
the congress chosen by Balmaceds's order
and elected under the persuasive influence
of his troops, leaves no room 70 doubt
that he is playing the role of an irrespon-
sibIe despot. In evident obedience 70 his
will this subservient body nominally en-
dowed, but really confirmed, him IN the
right to levy and enforce collection OF
taxes without other formality than bis
pleasure; to appropriate and expend pub
lie moneys without the intervention OF
legislative authority; to levy customs du-
ties or to suspend them at will: TO suspend
the writ of habeas corpus and 10 condemn
and punish citizens without trial, and IN
every respect to exercise powers which are
conferred upon no sovereign Of consti-
tutional monarchy in any country.
Peru is in q comatose condition politi-
cally, and all industrial enterprises are
paralyzed. If her people are not warning
it is only because they lack the energy 10
do 30. The Argentines are absorbed in
struggle with bankruptcy and to avert
utter ruin. In Brazil President Fonseca
has assumed that the rules and regula-
tons of his provisional government are
more pote It than the provisions OF the
new constitution, which was intended to
supersede them, and that the latter is
wholly imperative except to the extent
that his superserviceable congress passed
laws for Its enforcement. In effect he
has made his will independent of the con-
stitution and superior to it, and though
nominally a President by choice OF the
people, he is no less Dictator than when
he first assumed the reins of power.
On the whole this is a gloomy picture,
where all would be so bright and glorious,
and 50 full of grand possibilities, but for
the perversity and the inherited revolu-
tIonary faint of that unhappy people,
with whom ''pronunciamento" is the
acme of political achievements

The defeat of the British Conservatives
on the question Of prohibiting children
under the age Of eleven from working in
factories Is Of more significance than it
would seem, for it demonstrates the weak
ness Of the party as such. The Liberal
Unionists felt compelled to vote with the
Gladstonian majority SO that their posi-
ton is rendered more uncomfortable than
ever; and the vote will have powerful
influence on the bye-elections which are
occurring from time to time. Home
Secretary Matthews was in charge of the
government at the time and in not allow
ing the members to vote as they wished he
added another to his long list of parlia-
mentary and administrative blunders.

numerous fed Of sugar beets, 10 large
extent grown upon lands that have been
segregated from the former Indian reser-
walton In some Of these fields the young
Indians have been trained in habits of in
dusfry. Whereat certain farmers and Ia
borers Of the neighborhood have taken
umbrsge, and have made protests TO the
superintendent. And the latter has written
70 the department, reporting the protests
and recommending that they be needed /;
which amounts to recommendation that
the young Indians be denied the privilege
of acquiring habits of useful industry.
None but bogus farmers, bogus working
men and bogus superintendent would
commit themselves TO such doctrine.

Further testimony as 10 the kinship between
scholarship and athletics has been furnished BY
President Hyde of Bowdoin college, who gives
list of the winners of the most important
prize-the smyth mathematical prize of 500
in that Institution. The list includes
the winners during the past six
years The first winner OF this prize
was also the winner of the quar-
tsr-mile run. The second was the
pitcher of the baseball nine. The third was the
most brilliant trapeze performer. The fourth
had no special athletic training, but was man
of fine physical development The fifth was
the catcher of the baseball nine and the best
general athlete in the college. The sixth is a
member of the football eleven and candidate for
position on the boat crew. Brain and muscle
are close kin.

Why Reagan Went to Texas.

NsN IoTk lTlDpDe-
The recent resignation of his chair in the
Senate by Mr.. Reagan, of Texas. has served
to recall the incident which led him TO
leave Tennessee, where he was born. and
settle in the Lone Star state. 1t appears
that one day he went TO mill with grist
to be ground, and, after he had waited in
line until his turn came, he was rudely adj
dressed by man who proposed to step in
ahead OF him. and threatened TO throw
him out of the window unless he would
yield MS place. Mr.. Reagan, the story
goes, like all the rest of the people in the
nelghborhood, was more or less terrorixed
by this desperate. and in fear OF his life
rushed for him, butted HIM in the stomach
with his head, and literally lifted him OF
his feet and flung him through the win
dow. When the desperate disappeared
the consequence of his act flashed upon
young Reagan's mind. He instantly sun
posed that he had killed a man. that Re
would be hanged for il, and, scared almost
to death, he rushed downstairs, unhitehe,i
his horse and lit out across the country for
Texas The man was not killed. but pot a
good shaking up. He soon moved IN
Texas and was friend TO Reagan in after
life

The London Times states that from the one
Chinese port Wuhu, 'ioss stick powder" 70 the
amount OF three and half million pounds was
exported last year This powder is used as a
coating for the incense sticks which the Chinese
use SO extensively for religious and sanitary
purposes. The figures given afford an indica.
ton OF the immense number of Celestials who
are living in this and other foreign lands In
one of the provinces, it is said. thirty thousand

CAPT. KENT AND THE POLICE FUND.
sEArrIE. June 10. $50,

SEATTLE, June le, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: Certain criticisms having
been published concerning my possession of q
"police fund.-" desire to make the following
statement:
In May. 1880, s5o5 was realized as the result
of an entertainment given by Billy Arlington
for the benefit of the police force The amount
was expended as follows. viz: 500 was given
10 Officer Nick Hanna on account of sickness:
500 was loaned to Officer D. C. Hubbard. and IS
is retained BY me in part payment of sl20
which is due me on account of money which
have paid out for toilet supplies. The police are
therefore in my debt $50 The Tony Miller
fund has no connection with the police fund.
The 81 each paid by the members has been re-
turned. with the exception OF IS, which can be
had by calling for 1t, soon as can see those
members 10 whom il belongs A. N. kEST.
