The Agricultural College.
[Garfeld Enterprise.


Judge Campbell has decided that the
agricultural college commissioners were
not legally appointed, and, therefore,
their action in locating the college at
Pullman is void and of no effect.
What the result will be cannot yet be
known, but it is noticeable that the great
cry of fraud that was raised as an excuse
for bringing the suit does not figure in
the case at all, it being decided solely on
the legality of the appointment of com
missioners.
The opponents of Pullman are prob
ably growing over Judge Campbelrs de-
cision, though why any except North
Yakima should we cannot understand.
The court has utterly ignored the cry of
fraud, and the people thoroughly realize
that if the commission had located it for
what there was in it North Yakima
would have got it, for it could have
given larger bonus than Pullman,
and certainly was equally as willing to
pay it.
If the supreme court sustains Judge
Campbell's decision and the college is
located by new commission or the leg
lslature it will go either to Pullman or
North Yakima, according as justice or
Doodle determines the matter No other
place has ghost of show.
To have it located in the Yakima
desert will probably please some of the
leading citizens of Colfax, and, if we may
Judge by the tone of the last issue of the
News, it will not be entirely unaccept-
able to the worthy people of Palouse
City.
Since the decision of the commission
ers was announced the Enterprise has
said let Pullman have it, for she had
fairly won it, and we expect to say the
same thing until the matter is finally
settled, and we believe a majority of the
men hereabouts will say amen to it.

that they have regretted their action.
Rudini has been trying to explain away
Fava's recall ever since.
"Ihe difficulty with the Italian ad-
ministration is that the government is a
compromise coalition ministry that can
scarcely hope to hold out through the
present year. When the New Orleans
trouble occurred it was seized upon as a
chance to lengthen the life of the min

Fava they would appeal to the popular

Plans Of the Jewish Alliance to Care 70
Emigrants tn This Country,

Emigrants tn This Country.
PHILADELPHIA, July 23.--The Jewish
Alliance of America has issued an APP
peal with regard to Russian Jewish
immigration which contains the follow
ing:
United efforts by Jews in all quar-
tiers of the union will be potent in doing
what is required. Wherever Jews dwell
they can assist in placing few Of the
newcomers. Their wants are not unrea-
sonable; all they need is a chance
to work in order to earn a
livelihood. A little interest displayed
in their cause by those who are
better off will solve the question. II
has always been the custom of Jews to
allow no man to go unrelieved, and it Is
now especially a duty to apply this
principle to those afflicted refugees.
Let every member of the community
give a little time and effort to
guide them where they can settle
and make a living, and it will be
found that in one place a few families
may be provided for, in another place
opportunities can be given to still more,
and so on. If Jews at all places where
they are settled will look through their
neighborhood for the purpose they will
be able 20 furnish the alliance with
enough information to enable us to di-
rect the immigrants where they should
go. Pecuniary help will come from
members of the alliance, from the Baron
de Hirsch trust, and from the liberality
of our community"
With these facts in view tits now pro.
posed that the establish ment of small
Jewish communities be furthered by
the Jewish Alliance through the
medium of its branch organization.
The entire country is to be divided
into districts, to he controlled by the
branch organizations. The board OF
officers Of each branch is to appoint a
committee to find locations where one OF
more families may be settled The local
agent shall be paid regular monthly
salary. The officers of the alliance are
President, Simon Muir, Philadelphia;
Vice presidents, Ferdinand Levy, New
York; the Rev. Dr. II. w. Schneeberger

perty, valued at many millions of dol
lars, in the business portion of Chicago

at Fort Dearborn in 1920 and Mr.. Hum

title to the land. The present heirs to
the property, the Texas attorney, says,

Some characteristics of Nature During
the Present Month. y

o. o.
Forest and Stream.
The woods are dense with full-grown
LEAKAGE. OF all the trees, only the Eastwood
has delayed its blossoniing, to crown the
height of summer and fill the sun-steeped
air with perfume that calls all the wild
bees from hollow trees and scAnt woodside
cleaning to wealth Of honey gathering
and all the hive-dwellers from their board
built homes to finer and sweeter pillage
than is offered by the odorous white sea of
buckwhent. Half the flowers of wood and
fields are out of bloom. Herdsgrass,
clover and daisy are falling. before the
mower. The early grain fields have al
ready caught the color Of the sun, and the
tasseling corn rustles its broad leaves above
the rich loan that the woodcock delights
to bore.
The dwindling streams have lost their
boisterous clamor Of springtide and VIM
pie with subdued voices over beds too
shallow to hide minnow or his poised
shadow on the sunlit shadows. The sharp
eye of the angler probes to the bottom of
the green depths Of the slowly swirling
pools, and discovers the secrets of the big
fish who congregate therein.
The river has marked the stages Of its
decreasing volume with many lines along
its steep banks, and discloses the musk
rats doorway. TO which he once dived so
bihNtiullyi DuJ nUW must CluIlSlly Cllin v
to. Rats of drifwood bridge the shallow
current sunk so low that the 1.-the willows
bend in vain to kiss its warm bosom. This
only the swaying trails Of water weeds toy
with now; these and the rustling sedges
and swift-winged swallows coyly touching
it, There is not depth to hide the scnrry-
ing schools of ninnows, the half of whom
lily into the air in a curving burst of silver
shower before the rush of pickerel,
whose green and notified sides CLEAN like
swift shot arrow in the downright sun
! beams.
The sandpiper tilts along the shelving
shore. Out Of an EMPOWERED harbor d
wood-duck conveys her fleet of ducklings,
and, on the ripples of their wake the
anchored argoses of the water lilies toss
and cast adrift their cargoes of perfume.
Above them the green heron perches on an
oyerhanging branch, uncouth but alert,
whether sentinel or scout, tapping his
awkward way along the ambient bends
and reaches. With slow wing beats he sig
nails the coming of some more lazily NOV
ing boat, that drifts at the languid will OF
the current or incident pull of oars that
CRATE on the golden-meshed sand and
| pebbles
Lazily, ,nexpectantly, the angler casts
his line, to be only convenient perch fol-
the dragon flies; for the fish, save the af-
| frighted minnows and the hungry pick
erel, are as lazy as he. To-day he may
enjoy to the full the contemplative mans
recreation, nor have his CONCENTRATIONS
disturbed BY any finny folk of the under
water world, while dreamily he floats in
sunshine and dappled shadow so at one
with the placid waters and quiet shores
| that woodduck, sandpiper and heron
scarcely note his no5trusive presence.

Presidential Forecasts.
From Harper's Weekly.


It is unlikely that Mr.. Blaines condition
will now be made known. But it is un-
reasonable. to suppose that he will be a
candidate for the Presidential nomination.
If this assumption be correct, Their, is no
doubt that the President will be renomi-
mated. Except Mr., Blaine, he has as yet
no serious competitor. Should Mr. Nc.
Kinley be elected in Ohio by large
majority, he might be pressed. But the
probability Is that the President will be
the more available candidate, and that he
will be placed upon a platform of the
Mckinley tariff, reciprocity, the late silver
letters of Senator Sherman, the result of
the Behring Sea controversy and the good
work of the civil service commission. The
contest will be complicated by other con-
siderations, such as the extravaganza Of the
late Congress and the Philadelphia scan
dals, and the independent voting of 1884
and 1888 will be largely increased in 1892.
The prospect will be cleared somewhat by
the autumn elections of this year, and
none of them will be watched more closely
than that in New York for the determine
ton OF Governor Hills successor.
