Washington at the Fair,

A circular recently received from the
Washington Worlds Fair Commission
shows that work is progressing most
favorably.
BESIDES having separate, complete
state exhibit in building constructed
entirely of Washington material, it has
been determined to have the state Of
Washington enter with the best exmb-
its In every possible department. Her
share of the national exhibit will be
carefully attended to.
1t has already been announced that
the Northern Pacific Railroad company
has generously agreed to carry all ex-
hlbits free to collecting centers in this
state and then to Chicago. The Oregon
4 Washington Territory Railroad com
pany very promptly offered to carry ex-
hlblts along their lines free of charge,
and soon afterwards the Union Pacific
Railroad company came CALAMITY to the
front and offered to deal with the
worlds fair exhibits from this state with
iberality equal to that of the North
ern Pacific This In itself is very en-
couraging information,
TIMBER
A convention of lumbermen is called
at Tacoma, October 9th, to consult with
the worlds fair executive committee.
and arrange for the contribution of suf-
ficient lumber and finishing material to
construct the building at Chicago which
is to be made an exhibit of itself. Other
lumber exhibits will be arranged at the
same meeting, and if possible perma-
nent organization of lumbermen will be
perfected, which will be of lasting bene-
fit to the state as we'll as a powerful
auxiliary in the worlds fair work.
In this same line help has been Sc
cured from the forestry division of the
United States. department of agriculture,
which promises to send out a competent
man to help some time before the fair.
The forestry department of the exposi-
ton also stands ready to help us in
every way possible.

A PRoxPr ARREST AT rHe Crs.
cCs.-rhe drunken man who alvsvs
appears in the ring near the close
OF . circus performance, ami ulti.
mately proves to be one Of the %.
tors in disguise, met With Z little
unusal experience at The circus %
Covington last Monday afternoon.
He reeled and tumbled into the
ring and began to claim old &C.
quaintanceship With the clown, but
had not proceeded far before our
efficient Marshal and his Deputy
rushed into the ring and seized him
and proceeded to march him of to
Jail. He strongly protested that he
belonged to the show and this was
part Of the performance, but the
lynx-eyed Deputy Marshal wouldn't
stand any nonsense, and didn't
propose to let any man create .
disturbance there, especially in such
. big crowd Of ladies and children.
The ring-master and clown finally
came to the rescue Of the supposed
intruder and explained matters to
the satisfaction Of the officers, when
the man was released and the per-
Torrance went on, amid the laugh
ter and cheers Of the audience.
This was one the best parts Of the
show, but it also serves as . warn
ing to al that when . circus or anv
other show comes along, people
have ''got to behave themselves or
git locked up" Our peace officers
WoD't stand any foolishness on such
occasions, and they're mighty right.

LIABILITY FOR MOB vIO-
LENCE.

New York Herald: 1t is . gen
eral principle Of law, UNIVERSAL,
recognized BY the courts, that 8
city is not liable for the doings Of q
mob unless it is expressly made 90
BY statute. This principle applies
both to the destruction Of property
and the loss Of life. For neither
can damages be recovered unless
the Legislature has 90 decreed. In
many, and We presume in most, il
not all Of the States, liability is inn
posed upon cities or counties for
destruction Of property by mob vio-
lence, but statutory liability for loss
Of life is not 90 common. Nv .
statute Of Louisiana, New Orleans
is liable for property losses, but
the city is not liable for deaths Of
or injuries to persons. Nor is the
State liable for the latter. Conse-
quently the local law affords no re-
dress for the lives taken on Satur-
day, other than the prosecution Of
the mob leaders. which, under the
circumstances, is . theoretical rem
edy without practical value.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

Commissioner Mason. Of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, has gives
some figures relative to the bounty
on sugar. He estimates that X

ed for he payment of sugar boun
ties the first year-$8, 0U0, 900 fol
cane sugar, SSOO. 900 for beet and

based on the production Of sugar ID

bable increase in consequence oil

ter to two cents per pound, accord
in to saccl,arine strength.
The most Of the money will 20 to
the Louisiana planters, who pro-
duced nineteen-twentieths Of the
cane sugar last year, against 49,

tree tappers Of Vermont will get
the lions share of the bounty on
maple sugar. Cane sugar il pro-
duced BY 746 concerns in I.ouisi-
ana, twenty in Texas and one in
Florida. Sorghum sugar IL produ-
ced by six concerns in Kansas, and
beet sugar By one mill in Nebraska
and two in California. There will
shortly be added one beet sugar
factory in California. one in Utah
and one in Iowa. The number Of
maple sugar producers Is estimated
at 10000 TO $4,000. and they
produce about 50, 900, 900 pounds
annually. The maple sugar makers
Of Vermont will receive q small

will probably find it . difficult mat

THE I.EVEES AND HBLIC
DUTY.

There Was great ju6aiation when,
just on the eve Of adjournment. tn
| 81, O00. 900 appropriation for levee1
along the Mississippi was passed
BY Congress. and upon the Presi'
dent afkixing his signature to the
measure it was bruite.l abroad that
the money became immediately
available for saving the levees. then
already imperiled. Of the lower val
ley.
But Il now turns out that this re-
jOicing was premature, and the pol
icy of Congress in respect to safe
guarding the alluvial country from
the foods poured down upon It
from the highland sections has not
changed. Instead Of being intend
ed to avert the imminent danger to
the people and property Of Louis
lama, the appropriation was express
" limited by a proviso that It should
not be expended for levees except
such as would improve navigation.
In other words, not q dullar OF it
could be used at the points where
most urgently relief Was needed,
but where the channel was already
ample.
1t is true that the River Com
mission and Secretary Of War have
managed to, in . measure, evade
this inhibition, and BY diverting
other funds not 80 restricted (and
which viii be replaced out Of the
million alloment) secured . quar-
ter nj MILLION cash for immediate
use. But the recorded intent and
spirit Of Congress still stands, and
the purpose 80 expressed il adverse
to the great work Of levee building
with the object Of developing the
Incompatible rich and fertile val
ley lands OF of safeguarding the
lives and homes Of the dwellers
thereon.
In the future . more liberal and
jtster sentiment may control the
national legislature. and the endan-
gered people have long been sus-
tanned By that hope. Yet - shown. |
the latest declaration Of policy that |
has been uttered IL adverse to such !
hope; and who can safely give as
snrance Of an early and favorable
change: In the meanwhile, what
shall be done? Docs not the most
ordinary prudence aud business
common sense suggest that all and
every means Of protection at COM
mani should be seized upon?
Would it not be reckless folly to
reject the proposed great lottery

the imperled interests that are n

4 BRUTAL GOVERNOR Exc
CITED.

A Paris dispatch, dated Marcel

Prompt vengeance has fallen up.,r
Ramiasata, Governor Of the prov.
ince Of Belanona. Madagascar, whu
according to the news received
here on March 4, massacred Pc
persons including men, women and
children, belonging to the leadin.
families. Dispatches just received
here state that Ramiasata, together
With his brother who is supposed
to have instigated the massacre,
have been executed on the spot
where the Wholesale killing took
place under the cruel governors
directions.
The cause Of Ramiasata's sangui-
nary conduct originated in the
fact that he must iiercely re-
sented . petition from the p0pulace
addressed to the government ask
ing protection from h,s repeated
acts Of cruelty. This 50 enraged
the governor that he commenced to
slaughter mer, women and children
and continued So doing for several
days. In many cases the agonies
Of the victims were protracted by
the governors causing their limbs
to be gradually dismembercd, their
heads to be slowly sawed OF, and
by subjecting them to other acts Of
torture. During the course OF the
many of the women who
we're put to death were first out

victims, their bodies were thrown
to the dogs.
In addition to these atrocities
The survivors were compelled to|

heads Of the murdered people upon
