Two years ago Cregier received $50

pending election. of which it is estimated
the Socialists will cast fully 1900. Har-
rison and Elmer Washburn are roughly
credited with oo,OO0 each. But the gem
cral demand in respectable circles for
capable and clean administration during
the Worlds Fair may set all of these caicu-
lations at naught and carry Washburne in
by rousing majority. That is the com
summation to be hoped for.

A sample of the exceeding fairness which
attaches to lobbying in Washington City
has been lately brought to light in Massa-
chusetts. Under resolution applying to
q specific case the legislature in 1883
authorized the Governor to appoint an
agent to look out for the interests Of Mas
sachusetts. Governor Butler appointed
one T. E. Davis. As a result of his efforts
which generally amounted simply to
looking IN while congress acted on appeals
made By Senators or Representatives from
that state-Mr. Davis received in 1884 fees
TO the amount of 81, sol; in 1855 to the
amount of s3,o77; in 1856 he got so,9O5 in
fees and 81, 800 for expenses; in 1887 fees of
s6.s65: in lsSs, $2l.3l6; in 1859. Si0,915: in
1890. $6,s57. Thus in years he has peck
eted the neat little sum of $93, 0o6 and now
comes forward with a claim for $4,000 as
his fees on the states interest of 500. 900
in the direct tax refund, with the allow
ance or payment of which he could not
possibly, or at least properly, have had
anything TO do. These facts are highly
discouraging to the idea OF confning ones
attention 10 legitimate business.

The Bears Want to Hug Ethel.

Arlington Times.
As Ethel Hsndley and Elizabeth Schiller
were going home from school last wednes-
day they meta bear when near the top of the
hill. on the old read between Mikes and
Eicholzs. The bear gave q few growls and
moseyed of into the woods, while the terrified
children fed down the hill at lively gait. Co
ing back TO Mikes they related their ad-
venture, and Mr. Milkie took his gun and started
out after his bearship, but the latter had got
away. and not even at the command of a school
director would he come forward and be shot
On Thursday of last week Ethel had bear for
a companion nearly all the way to school. and
she thinks bears are getting rather too familiar.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 6, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: In the PosT-INTELLIGEScE1
OF April 8, 1891. appears Q statement that Mr..
George Schwesinger was convicted before Jus
tice Won Tobel Of petit larceny, and that Mr..
Schwesinger had paid the fine and costs This
would imply that Mr.. Schwesinger admitted his
guilt Of stealing calf, but the fact is that Mr..
schwesinger, deeming himself innocent, was
not represented by attorney, and as a matter Of
course, was fined. He deposited enough money
to cover the fine and costs, so he might engage
an attorney to appeal his case. As soon as the
appeal bond was filed the money deposited was
returned, and the case viii be tried upon the
evidence in the superior court on appeal, where
MT. Schwesinger win convince his friends that
there was not the least reason for his arrest and
prosecution for larceny. Very respectfully,

The Needs Of the Farmers.

Secretary Rusk in North American Review.
Now, as to the ignorance of American citizens
not farmers regarding the needs OF agriculture
and the conditions Of the farmer, must in this
respect ask my readers TO take my statement on
trust. as that Of man who has had special OPP
portun1ties for judging and who Is couscient-
iously convinced of the necessity for absolute
sincerity on this subject ask the reader to
take my word for it that, great as the ignorance
OF the average farmer in regard to business mat
tiers and city life, it is no greater than that OF
his city brother in relation to things agricul-
tural. nor, indeed. is II - great This being the
case, we ind ourselves confronted in the pres
ent grave economic emergency with . serious
condition of affairs. We have . patient
who Is sick with disease our physi-
clans do not understand; as q result the
sick man and his friends, blinded . little, per
haps, by suffering and sympathy in their efforts
to arrive at . true diagnosis, yet endeavor to Sc
cure relief from suffering by such means as they
can command or devise: and who shall blame
them it, in the absence of physicians who know
something about the case, they are perhaps mis-
led into the adoption of certain nostrumsf The
farmers at least know their own condition; and
OF what use Is 1t to decry the remedies they sug-
gest, il ignorance Of their true condition and Of
their needs, makes 1t impossible for you to sug-
gest one? For the last twenty-five years you
have been giving the farmer and his needs little
or no thought; you have been letting agriculture
take care of itself and him. All other classes, all
other interests and industries, existing though
they do only by reason of the fact that agricnl-
ture has called them into existence and supports
them, have received your consideration, have
been the objects OF your special study. Is it
surprising, then, that, the result OF your self
fishness, the farmer should BE- indispoeed to
trust any one but himselfs Even when YOU talk
to him fairly he detects at once that while you
talk well and know much about mauy things,
you know little or nothing of him and his sur
roundings. If, on the one hand, the farmer
lacks business training and experience in af-
fairs, you, on the other hand, who have both,
lack to an even greater extent, and in q most
pitiful degree, knowledge OF agriculture, ac-
quantance with its followers and familiarity
with their needs and conditions.

Charles A. Dana, of the New York San,
especially noted for his admiration of
Grover Cleveland, stirred up hornets
nest during his late Southern tour. In
the course of an interview for publication
Mr.. Dana vented some of his accustomed
vituperation on the Farmers Alliance Of
that section. To which the South~n ALI
ance Farmer responds in high vindictive
style. charging Dana with catering in his
paper to the hoodlums and toughs of the
metropolis, says that he is devoid of soul
or principle" that he "reeks with the COR
ruption of the sewage on which he feeds
and fattens." that he is "as treacherous as
an Indian" and 'as changeable as the

ton. which is declared to be q matter of
record. that during the wreck of an ex-
cursion steamer of New York this strong
man by force overpowered helpless girl

used to insure his own safety" Those

and Annapolis by personal selection, and
in their name we call upon Congressman
Wilson to make the appointments open to
general public competition
In tho early days of this state, long be-
fore il ceased to be a territory, il was the
bad habit Of the territorial delegates to use
their privilege Of appointing cadets to pay
of their social or other obligations outside
the limits of the state. Colonel
John N. Wilson, the present COM
mandant Of West Point, is fraudulently
accredited on the army rolls to the state
Of Washington Long years ago, when .
boy, he secured IN some manner an APP
pointment from this territory, though he
did not belong here and had no claim to
favor. Lieutenant Edwin Babbitt, of the
artillery. is also accredited to this state,
his appointment being secured in the same
shameful way.
The boys of Washington have right to
these appointments. They belong to
them by every principle of justice, and no
congressman has the right tt make use of
them to please his friends or crafty his
own whims. Ii Congressman Wilson has
in fact made the mistake Of assuming to
make these appointments out of hand by
personal selection and rs matter of favor,
we believe that it 10 the result of careless
ness rather than design and that when his
attention is called to the matter he viii

THE WASHINGTON CApErsHrps

A few days ago there appeared in the
Posr-ISrEIII6EScER the following dis
patch from Spokane:
During the present month Congressman John
L. Wilson will designate two boys 70 pass exam.
sna,ion for eadctships At West Point and An
nspoliA No competitive examination Will be
made. The CONGRESSMAN viii make hts selec-
;ion ont Of those applying In person or by mail,
and will also appoint two alte-nates TO provide
against failure 10 pass at the academy.
1t is inconceivable that this alleged in
formation can have come from Congress
man Wilson. II is the universal practice
and the only right practice 10 make these
appointments 10 the military and naval
academies prizes open TO general COMPETE
ton. and in that way available TO every
boy in the state.
Positions in the army and navy are
among the legitimate prizes of American
life. They are naturally important OBJ
iec,s of ambition To many boys, and they
ought legitimately to belong TO those who
can show themselves most deserving and
best qualified. There is only one way in
which these prizes may be made fairly
available, and that is To make them subject
TO general competition in which the sons
Of the poor or obscure as well as the sons
Of the rich or influential may freely enter
end have fair chance of success, This is
the universal practice elsewhere, and ii has
been in practice here by every congress
man who has comprehended the fact that
the military and naval appointments be-
icaged not to him personally TO be par
celed ont in the fern of personal favor.
but to the boys of the state at large.
In the name Of the boys of Washington
we protest against the proposition to make
the current appointments for West Point

Another time-honored and sacred right,
. revered prerogative with certain class
of Englishmen, has been invaded and is
in danger. So precious is it in the eyes of
many, that an appeal is to be taken from
the Court of Appeals to the House of
Lords in its behalf, and Bishop Roberts,
of the Church of England, heads the COM
mittee that is to present it, sin the inter-
est of religion and morality" This APP
peal grows out of the celebrated Clitheroe
case, which turned on the abduction of q
wealthy lady, Mrs. Jackson, by her hus-
band, who rested his case in his sacred
right as an Englishman to his wife as his
property, which claim the court set aside,
denied that the husband had q right to
compel his wife to live with him, and
ordered her released and allowed to choose
her own residence. And the Church of
England, represented by Bishop Roberts,
is going to make final appeal to the Lords,

ter-against decision so at variance with
the lofty precepts of religion and morality
that have been handed down through all
