Tho Genius of Hawthorne.

Hawthorne's mastery of the preternat-
ural seems to us the most characteristic
feature in his genius. He followed no pre-
decessor; he left behind him no successor.
He stands so completely alone that the or
binary methods of comparative criticism
are baflled. He must be taken as what he
is-an original genius. Yet, Independent
az he is, he cannot be called distinctively
American novelist. He is not novelist at
all. Fancy, imagination, poetic vision are
his gifts. Romance is his domain. Too
intent upon penetrating below the surface
in both men and things, he represented
neither as they passed before his eyes. HI
looks through, rather than at life,-Edin
burgh Review.

EZRA MEEKER DEPOSED

The hop king Of the Puyallup is no
longer the Worlds Fair commissioner
for the state OF Washington. He was,
through some malicious stroke OF for
tune, appointed member Of the
board; by voting for himself he was
chosen executive commissioner; and
at once, with the arrogance and ego
tism which have always distinguished
him, set out to dictate the policy and
direct the proceedings of the whole
board.
1t was Ezra Meeker's style. He has
been a disturbing element in every
popular movement in Pierce county,
and has uniformly been knocked out.
At the time of the Chinese expulsion,
move that has been of incalculable
benefit to Tacoma and the surround
ing country, Meeker made himself
particularly conspicuous in opposing
the patriotic, American sentiment
which animated the measure. In
political conventions the doctrines and
views OF the Republican party have
been secuted by him, in favor OF
Meekerism, first, last and all the time.
He has no charity for the woes OF
mankind or solicitude for the welfare
of the community, his whole concern
being centered in Ezra Meeker's bank
account, trampling on the rights and
desires OF his neighbors and grasping
for dictatOrial supremacy.
The positive, able-bodied snubs that
he and Vance, his obsequious lieuten
ant, received at the recent session OF
the commission in Olympia would
force any less tenacious and more sen
sitiye citizens to resign from the
board, but not so they. That pair viii
hang on, il for nothing else than t.
make themselves obnoxious. How
ever, the unanimous disgust of theil
fellow-members will keep them in sub
lection.

missioner will prove most beneficial

THEY SAY
The County Bond Question

Lynden Pioneer Press: The question
OF bonding the county In the sum OF tsoO, =
600 or more on twenty years time, to build
roads, is now being seriously considered
by the people OF the county. Fair
haven, where so great majority was
given against bonding last fall, seems to
Jake up the cudgel and call for another
proposition to give them a chance to vote
for bonds. A great many people who OPP
posed the bonding last year are now
heartily in favor OF the proposition, and
no doubt il the commissioners would sub
init proposition to the people the y woul |
give a hearty majority In favor OF bonds
The people in the Sumas valley are begin
ing to be loud In their calls for an i'm
Ivement In the condition OF their road =
ways, and are calling upon the commits
sioners to do impossiblities for their dis
trict.
Bonding the county and spending the
money on the roads at this time would
furnish employment to every person who
desired work and add general prosperity
to the county for the next eighteen
months. The farmers would save ten
times the amount OF tax In the cost Of
transporting their produce to market.
The crops OF the country would have an
outlet to market, instead OF rotting on the
farms. while the cities pay high for Cali
fornla produce. The cities have been de-
velopcd much faster than the country the
past two years, and now something must
be done TO develop the country back OF
our cities. or the whole will suffer a re-
lapse that will be painful to bear and will
financially ruin great many OF the bus
iness men OF the county. BY judiciously
expanding tsOO,O0O on the public highways
nearly every nook OF the county can have
a good road within two or three miles
that leads direct TO the market center.

ishly declared that they would not pub
lish Alliance news. The man who made
this statement, and who, by the way,
halls from Seattle, either never reads the
papers or else wifully said what he knew
was not true, since the papers are always
willing and even anxious to publish all
the Alliance news they can obtain but 1t
is not very easy to secure Information
about an organization which generally
does its principal work in executive ses-
sion. III what goes on In these meetings
does not find its way into print, there Is
nothing more extraordinary in the fact
of its omission than there is in the fact
that Masonic or Odd Fellow reunions are
not usually reported. III the Alliance Is
not satisfied with the newspaper reports
of its proceedings it can easily remove the
objection by holding open instead of
closed sessions. If the Peoples party
wishes to be treated as the other parties
are treated by the papers, it must follow
the same system of doing business as
they do

THE FERNDALE REUNION

The meeting OF war-yeterans TO be
held at Ferndale, beginning tomorrow
and holding over Thursday, will be
not only pleasant, but important. 1t
will give the old soldiers of this
county an opportunity for organi-
zation that will stand them well in
hand in the immediate future, and ia
saying this, much more must be i'm
piled than said, for the present. AS to
the pleasurable part of the affair, it
will be such as reunions OF the "old
boys" always are, in proportion great
or small, according to the circum-
stances. The same old bean banQuets
and the songs that belong Herewith;
the same old music of the sheepskin
band, and the thrills OF undying patri-
otism that were awakened by that
music three decades ago; the grip and
the handshake that grow stronger rs
those who make them grow weaker i
numbers and in step; the young
sters In uniform and under arms,
to remind the old ones how
they looked thirty years ago; the good
friends OF all ages, sexes and condi-
lions there with words OF applause
and smiles OF appreciative remem-
brance; the odor OF the greenwood as
it was 10 a thousand camps in the days
when the blue meant business"
speeches, poems, recitations, a jolly,
all-round good time, and then the
good-byes till we meet again.
Those who do not go will disappoint
those who will be there to meet them,
and they will also miss pleasant
outing. Those who do go will have
another red-letter day on their calen-
dars to pleasantly remember and to
date from, and they will have per-
formed another duty.
The fare from Bellingham bay will
be IS cents for round trip tickets,
good until Friday, and the trains will
leave Fairhayen at 8 o'clock Wednes
day and Thursday mornings. Plenty
OF soldier fare will be furnished-those
who desire "ples and things" should
take them along In basket, bucket,
hamper or pocket as may suit the
| fancy.

Children Easily Amused.

at is curious" says Colonel Clawtrap,
show easily the children are amused. We
have at our suburban home small vege-
table garden, in which we raise all the
vegetables that we need during the season.
This garden is a source of great delight to
us. 1t is wonderful what difference
there is between fresh vegetables and those
that have been carried about for two or
three days Take, for example, the cucum-
ber Stale, it is scarcely worth eating; but
picked in the early morning and eaten
when it Is cool and crisp, the cucumber Is
n sort of vegetable champagne.
AT the family table | have given full
and frequent expression to my views on
fresh vegetables, and the children have
now for some reason come to regard them
with a certain degree of levity. This year
they planted little garden of their own,
which has seemed to afford them consider
able pleasure. They have raised few
radishes ana other vegetables that are
easily cultivated. One night at dinner
found at my plate a white dish containing
one radish.
"'We thought, papa said Maud, thai
you would like to eat something that cam'
out of our garden
$50 I would said, and as tasted tn
radish added: How easy it is to tell
vegetable that is really fresh. You cal
fairly smell the odor Of the earth about it.
This set Maud and Clarence wild. The
pranced about like young Indians an
laughed until they couldn't laugh an
more Then Maud gasped out:
"'Why, papal mamma bought that of
vegetable man week ago, and it's been i
the refrigerator ever sinceP

year; sum which just doubled his
salary and made the old gentleman
very comfortable indeed.
The Toronto Globe got on to the
SUPERINTENDENT innocent boodleism
and severely arraigned him for pecula-
ton. The parson was equal TO the
occasion and replied: "This is merely
casual advantage. The government
does not lose penny, nor could IL IN
case OF defalcation, for my bondsmen
are good for ten times the amount.
Under ordinary circumstances the
money would lay in the bank vaults,
and the bank alone be the gamer. As
it is, / share the benefit with the
bank, that is all"
And that was all; II we may except
the trifling consequence OF the passage
of an act which forbade officials loanlng
public funds, and diverted whatever
casual advantage" there might occur
into the public treasury.
From the superintendent innocent
grab to the acceptance OF "testimo'
mails" from would-be public works
contractors the descent is really not
so very steep nor so very far; there's
much more intimate relation than ap
pears on the face Of it between swell
ing charges against appropriations
and appropriating trust moneys, anc
they are all simple evidences of milo
inspiration of grab, which, in its most
serious phases, commits burglary, and
goes TO war to annex Kingdoms.

CHINESE MATTERS

The threatened general revolution
in China is daily assuming a more seri-
Gus aspect -Four United States war
vessels were recently ordered to the
scene of the first outbreak, and Ad-
miral Belknap, who is the senior Off
Ger in those waters, has telegraphed
the Washington authorities for more
vessels. The Charleston left San
Francisco several days since, after
hurriedly taking aboard three years
supply OF provisions, and all the vessels
now cruising in the Boring sea have
had orders forwarded to them to report
at once TO the commander OF the
Asatic fleet. Every preparation Is
being made to protect the person and
property OF American citizens in that
part OF the world should the general
revolution become an actual rebellion.
The feeling against Christians OF all
creeds is very strong, and in several
cases massacres have occurred, and In
at least one case the missionaries have
armed themselves and are prepared tC
stand a long seige in the strong
est building they could secure
having supplied themselves will
provisions and arms to make Ions
fight in defense OF their lives. Chi
nese authorities appear to be unabl,
to guarantee the safety Of loyal sub
