ATTACK ON MOUNT RAINIER.
A Few Men Cannot Override the De
cislon Of the World.

cision Of the World.
OLYMPIA, Feb. 28.-[Special. l-Senator
Owings, the erratic member from Thurs
ton, introduced q resolution in the Senate
this morning to change the name OF
Mount Rainier to Mount Sherman. Ale
though the resolution was beautifully
worded and the senator supported it with
one OF his very best speeches, il did not
take the Senate very long to give it q
Knockout blow.
Senator Smith warmly defended the
grand old mountain, declaring that everv
old settler would rise up in indignation II
any attempt was made to change the
name. Following is the resolution:
Resolved BY the Senate of the state of Wash.
IngtOn, the House concurring, that it is the
sense OF this legislature that the name of Mount
Rainier or Mount Tacoma should be changed TO
Mount Sherman, and that the rugged sentinel
OF the Cascades should hereafter bear the name
OF an American hero, rather than that of an
English offlccr or have siwash designation

where after American heroes. that mapmakers
OF towns, cities, counties and the state be re-
quested to = hereafter DESIGNATE Mount Rainier
or Mount Tacoma as Mount sherman. and that
the congress of the United states be requested
to pass bill to this effect, and instruct accori.

also
Rssolred, That a copy of this joint resolution
be forwarded to our senators aud representatives
in congress, with request that such legislation
be effected.
Owlngs made brief but forcible speech
in support of the proposition. referring to
General Sherman as the greatest general
of the age. Hence the greatest mountain
of the state should bear his name. It
would be more appropriate than that Of
an English admiral or festive siwash.
and besides it would settle vexed ques.
ton.
Smith of Whitman opposed the adoption
of the resolution. Twenty years ago his
mother had pointed out this great peak to
him and had called it Mount Rainier. It
was landmark to him and thousands OF
other old settlers, and he did not believe
in changing the names of these familiar
landmarks. Smith was vigorously ap.
plauded at the end of his speech.
Senator Eshelman then moved to Law
the resolution on the table, and it carried
unanimously.

What the People Want

AS to money, there was 4 time when
our circulation was $50 per capita, and
although that period was Immediately
after q disastrous and devastating war,
it was the most prosperous time our
country ever saw, or that was aver seen
in any country except Venice during the
three hundred years while she enjoyed
free money. But an evil genius inspired
Hugh Mccullough, John Sherman and
others to wrench this per capita circula-
ton from the people, and destroy it, till
to-day our circulation barely exceeds Sc
per capita. In defiance of the peoples
cry for more money, q few money loaners
on Wall street dictate our law makers on
the subject. The result is, every product
is cheapened.
While money is being contracted and
products cheapened articles of consump-
ton have been made dearer, by a system
Of thieyery. falsely called protection.
Protection limits the imports of foreign
goods and forces those who buy to pay
a higher price for them. This is declared
to be for the benefit Of laborers in this
country; but in no single instance has
the laborer ever received a penny in ad-
vance of wages he would have received
without, and since the passage of the
Mckinley bill wages nave fallen 10 and
in some instances 20 per cent. in the very
industries which have been the most
Benefited by it, while the price of
the product of these industries have been
advanced accordingly. We challenge a
denial of these facts. He who pleads for
protection pleads for the enslavement of
the people. We have figured on this
protection business till we are we'll salts
fed that our country would be more
prosperous if every custom house was
converted into a free market and every
revenue cutter were made q carrying
vessel than VIZ could be otherwise.
Not only should we have money sufi.
Gent to meet the wants of trade, but we
should have liberty to trade where we
can do so with the greatest advantage.
By free lands, we do not mean the
freedom of one man to monopolize the
land that should be used by another. We
simply mean the right of the now land
less to build residences on the vacant
lots, to on and cultivate idle lands.
No man has any right to shut back civil
ization by monopolizing all the outlying
territory and holding it for a rise in price.
When every man can move on some va
cant piece of land and improve it, and
when there is money sufficient to meet
the l. requirements of trade, and
when no monopoly shall have
the right to tax that money
away from the people by means of tariff
legerdemain, then we shall have no idle
people in the country, nor people starv-
ing and freezing to death for want of
the capabilities of our country.
The government should not only con-
troll all u public highways but should
own them. To-day we are paying 10
per, cent. on $4,000, OOO, 600 Of watered
stock. This amounts to So, 1000, 900 per
year, more than $25 for every house
holder. Were the government in con-
troll of the railroads u carrying trade
would not cost more than 10 per cent. of
what it now does.-Fort Dodge (Ia.) True
Democrat.

induce any considerable portion of the
people to sever their allegiance to their
party. But when a'slong train Of abuses
Indicate that the true objects of govern
ment are being prevented, men have left
their parties and formed new or third
parties which In time became the domin-
ant parties in the notion. Thus the DEM
0cratic party was once known as the re-
publican party as distinguished from the
Ffederalists. The wing party was an of
shoot OF the democratic party, and the
republican party OF. the present day
was formed OF the dissatisfied elements
OF both the wing and democratic parties.
The frantic assertions of the monopolis-
tic press that there a be no such thing
as a4third party and that it could ac-
complish nothing If organized is the
worst kind OF demagogy and stands
~contradicted both by history and COM
mon sense. The National Reformer is
not urging the formation of a new party.
1t only hopes that there will be no nee
essity for such an organization; but if
our democratic friends persist in antag-
onizing the demands Of labor and follow
In the footsteps Of the republicans in
yielding to the dictates of Wall street,
there is no power on earth that can pre-
vent the formation OF a new. party, and
one that will sweep from power both of
the existing political parties. The peo-
pie are in dead earnest, and there is a
strong dnder-current Of public
sentiment that foreshadows the
coming Of u new party. Nothing can
prevent it but a concession to the de-
mands of labor. The democratic party
has it in its power, to . great extent to
put itself on record as being friendly to
Yhe measures demanded. But mere pro-
f~essions of friendship will not do. The.
people have grown heartily tired of
empty promises and professions of
friendship. They demand something
tangible in the way of relief. They Will.
not be satisfied, as in the past, with q
few crumbs. The fight is being waged
for bread and meat,-for q proper recog-
milton Of their rights. Nothing short of
this will satisfy them. II the democratic
party grants it, well and good; if not
they will take matters in their own
hands. If, IS is sometimes intimated,
they have not sense enough to know
what they need and how to get it,
the sooner they find it out the better for
all concerned. If popular government
is a failure-if the people are not capa-
bic OF self-government, the fact may as
well be known now as at any time. They
are willing to make the trial. One thing
is very evident; If we could induce a
few old women to leave off making cat
NIP tea for the babies for a few months
in the year and go to Washington as law
makers, they could manage things better
than they have been in the past. 1t
would be difficult to conceive of a course
OF legislation that would make the few
immensely rich and the many so en-
tremely poor at a more rapid rate than
has been done for the past twenty-five
years. 1t is not worth while to mince
words: if the people do not obtain relief,
and that soon, there will be a new
party, fits or no fits.-Nuttcnal Re
former.

Old school Disciplipe in C;ermanv.

A queer case of school discipline has
lately attracted attention in Germany.
The teacher OF a village school, who car
rled on the business of extracting teeth
to 1ncrense his paltry income, utilized
his dentist skill for the discipline of re-
calcitrant pupils. Eight boys were by
him deprived Of teeth, which he thought
they could get along better without than
with, as a punishment for gross disobe-
diencc. The parents of the pupils caused
this odd disciplarian to be prosecuted for
doing bodily injury to their offspring,
but the charge was dismissed because
the teacher proved by expert medical
testimony that instead of harming his
pupils he had actually benefited them.
This style of discipline, however, has
been prohibited.

He Called It a Joke.

Says q New York writer: l have a
friend who is one Of the most talented
young men in the west. The other day
he came into my office and made a cold
FLOODED bluff about taking me out to
lunch, at the same time flashing a 500
bill before my astonished eyes. I took
him up, right then and there, of course.
We went to the Richelieu and ordered in
the ~neighborhood of SIG worth of food
and drink, and pitched into it as if we
hadn't had anything before for twenty
years. 1t was a safe bet that this re-
markable exhibition of generosity meant
that was to be called upon to give up
something, and, sure enough, l was.
"By the way" he remarked, as he was
lighting his cigar, ssby the way old man,
l want to get you to do something for
me-"
"All right" 1 replied promptly. ga
friend who blows you off to a SIG dinner
is entitled to a soft answer. WHAT'S it?'
81 hate to ask you," he went on, puff
fling slowly at the cigar. sI'm devilish
diffident about asking favors of my
friends, but you can do this, and I don't
think that it will give you very much
trouble. You know I have never struck
you for any kindness, as long as we have
known each other"
''That's so," I answered. $50 ahead,
I'll do anything l can for you"
swell, you see," he went on, .'it's
like this. am-no," he broke off sud-
denly. 81 can't bear to ask it OF you.'
There was real tears in his eyes.
Don't let yourself be disturbed, old
fellow" l cried, very much affected
Remember I'm your friend"
"No, l can't do it," he said, when he
had recovered his composure. 81 can't
bring myself to ask you right to your
face"
By this time 1 was very curious to
know what the trouble was, and so l
proved a soft mark. He had counted on
that.
"No," he continued. 81 can't tell you
to your face. Perhaps 1 might be able
to write it down and go out of the room
while you read it. Will you promise not
to look at it until 1 get clear outside?"
OF course I promised. What else
could l do? So he wrote four or five
words on the back of the wine card anc
handed it to me. Then he shook m,
hand effusively, said l would never know
how grateful he was to me for my kind
ness and went out dissolved in uears
When he had shut the door behind HIN
and not till then, l unfolded the card
aud this was what he had written:

lowing points:

2. Entrance into such service should be
