The Agricultural College.
(Spokane Review.

From present indications it seems that
Pullman, after having won the agricul-
tural college, in free competition, is not
to be allowed to enjoy the fruits of her
victory without further fight.
1t is rumored that North Yakima and
Colfax, her most formidable rivals, have
joined hands in the issue against her,
and backed by the Sound cities, will
contest the constitutionality of the To-
caoion before the supreme court. In
considering all the circumstances of the
case, it is, perhaps, not surprising that
North Yakima should seek to take adj
vantage of anything which offers to
render the present location of the
college void, but that Colfax should join
in the attempt to wrest from her sister
city the laurels so hardly won is difficult
Of belief
Yakima has everything TO gain and
nothing to lose in the contest. Not the
slightest benefit can accrue to her when
the college is located OF Pullman. Not
an iota will be added to the trade she
now enjoys, not an additional visitor
will enter her gates, and her rich and
varied resources viii receive no more
notice than they ordinarily attract.
The large amount of money which is
spent, and the rich endowment bestowed
upon the college will not be of the least
advantage to her.
The same is true of the Sound cities
which, though barred from deriving the
benefits conferred on the place of its To-
cation, yet, with the college at Yakima,
could reasonably expect large share of
the trade such an institution would Gre
ate But when it is situated at Pullman
these towns must watch this volume of
trade flow in other channels, while they
are powerless to direct the stream
toward their own Golfers, and in this
way may be found an explanation of the
animus which Western Washing ton
towns have displayed since the location
of the college was made public.
But with Colfax the case is different
Situated but few miles from the school
she may, with certainty, expect to enjoy
large share of the benefits which not
Pullman alone, but all of Whitman
county, will derive from the location of
the college within her territory. 1t is
quite probable that in this instance, as
is SO often the case, rumor has greatly
magnifed the feeling existing at Colfax
and as soon as the disappointment ovel
the loss of the school wears away tn,
entire community, as well as in Other
disaffected towns throughout Whitman
county. will Join in the verdict of thu
commissioners, and, laying all luminosity
aside will endeavor to prove to the worl(
that no mistake was made when Wash
Ilngton's agricultural college was located
in one of the richest and most produc
tive sections of the state.

The Color Question.
This morning the sessions of the en-
campment were formerly opened. Prob
ably the most important matter that will
come up for consideration is the trouble
over the colored issue in Louisiana The
white comrades from New Orleans are de-
termined to force vote ON the question
whether or not they shall be compelled to
have posts of mixed color, or whether the
colored man and brother in whose behalf
they fought shall not be compelled to get
into posts by themselves.
If the encampment lays down the law OF
"no color line" the white comrades threat
en- to break up the department.

Treasury to prepare legal tender notes
which shall be legal tender for all

PRAY, MIR. Norwood, why make this
exception 70 these treasury not'S?
Will this exception bring one dollar Of
gold into this country? The importers
who import must pay the import duties
when they receive their goods. Gold
comes il to our country when the bal
anCe Of trade is in our favor. Out OF
this the importer pays import duties

Importing goods does not bring GOLD

and the balance Of trade during the
year was in our favor fifty million
dollars, wouldn't this balance of trade
In our favor be paid in gold by the
countries buying this excess? Wouldn't
this excess in our favor be paid us in
gold, whether the import duties were

fact that import duties were paid in
