NEBRASK A.


Last week Nebraska celebrated the twen-
ty-ffth anniversary of its admission into
the Union. When admitted into the Union
In 1867 its population was estimated at
10000; the census of 1890 gives it a popu-
lation of Loss. $40, and it has doubtless
grown enough since to show an increase of
full 1000 900 of people in the twenty-five
years of its statehood. 1t has 5,4lS miles
of railroad valued at $50, 265, 9l7. The year
after its admission the value of property
was estimated ut $500, 900; today the
actual value of real property is Sl,5S5, &c.,
500. It's three great crops of corn, wheat
and oats last year covered an area of
1855, I67 acres. and were worth 1885,

pace with the progress in material wealth.
In lStS the money appropriated to public
schools was sl4 66l. 81. Today it is $780,

valued with their apparatus at $1,000, O0o

not an admission Of defeat. Very far from it
Great Britain has, so far, been able to hold
more than her own against the fercest Of her
commercial rivals, and she will, no doubt, b
able to continue to do so.
The INrELLIGENcER goes on to say: "As ioe
Canada, she will have to choose, in the merit
twenty-five years, between industrial stagnation
and paralysis or annexation" We hardly think
that We are so very badly off as all that comes
to. We are not by any means sure that we Can

No one in Canada has proposed to call on the
government to help our farmers to pay thar
debts by lending them money at a nominal rata
OF interest, on poor security. Canadians would,
no doubt, like to be better off than they are, but

THE STATE FLOWER.
WHArrnx lime & 1s

NHATCoM, June D, 1892
To THE EDITOR: In response to a communities
ton written almost q month ago to the Posi-
INTELLIGENcER by Mrs. Fry. in WHICH she states
that the clover and the rhododsndron were men
toned about the same time, but that the clover
received no Enforcement "until this late hour"
would most respectfully inform the lady that
more than year ago the clover was championed
by lady and by a gehtleraan-whose names
can be furnished--in the West Shore, then pub
hshed in Spokane and Portland. I may add
that nothing was said against the beautiful and
modest clover "until this late hour" 1t is a
matter In which the people are interested, and
all have right to express their opinions and to
cast vote Since the clover has held undis-
puted sway for more than year, we may con-
slider 1t the choice, so far, Of the state.
The rhododendron's ''masses OF pink beauty"
would be slightly withered before they reached
the "grave of every soldier in Washington
unless, indeed, the soldiers are all buried ON the
islands or under the rocks in inaccessible places
Not nne-tenths Of the people of this state
would ever see the state flower, unless, they
made pilgrimages to the coast during the brief
time the rhododendron blooms. II the rhodo-
dendron is peculiar to this state, is it not bit
more than peculiar to Oregon, California, Penn
sylvania, Maryland, etc. is. at least, much
more plentiful there. Mrs. Frye herself shows
us its peculiar unftness to be a representative
of state when she says it is "forever green in
every cline where it deigns to grace distinctive
bloom" That is not typical OF our noble state
which does not "deign," but which gives her
wealth and beauty as freely and generously to
the poor as to the rich, to the humble as to the
proud; to the workingman as to the governor.
This Is precisely why the clover is so peculiarly
and uniquely appropriate. ! understand that
the national flower has been selected and is not
clover. 1t is true the clover grows everywhere.
Then, when it is our emblem, You can pluck it
in New York. aud say proudly. "This belongs to
usl Ours is the clover ssate-the very clover of
all clovers. the very heart of richness and cream
and honey! 1t represents tireiess industry, gem
erosty, richness OF soil, fine horses and cattle,
blue skies, sunshine, modesty, fragrance ana
good luckl The emblem OF Washington"
Since only the rich can only afford to visit or
grow the lovely but exclusive rhododendron-
unless they SO fortunate as to live in the few
places 1t favors-I would suggest that the mat
ter be lett to the schools of the state By letter
published in the Fairhaven Herald from Mrs
Houghton, June I. 1t will be found that she Is
working hard against clover and for rhododen.
dron; therefore, suggest, also, that the ques-
ton be settled by some unbiased Judge or
judges Let the children decide it, and let us
have fair play. ELLA HIG3INsoN.

tional convention Of the unterrifed and lead
the delegates from this state for German. He
has been in the East for several weeks, and OF
course has given some attention to politics. Il
Is very evident from . letter written by him to
the redoubtable George Hazard, secretary OF
the state association of Democratic clubs, that
he is not very hopeful Of Democratic success
either In the state or nation"
The Centerville Leader says: "Why George
Hazard, the secretary of the Democratic state
committee, could construe the sense OF the con-
vention at Vancouver by sending telegram to
New York, saying the state was for Hill, can
only be accounted for rs piece OF sharp strata.

getting the convention from instructng the
delegation for Cleveland, and now 1t is ad-
mitted that at least four OF them at heart for
Hill. One cannot come to any other conclu-
sion but that Hazard, in sending the telegram
to Hill, must have been playing an under
handed game and conniving with the Hill men
OF New York. No wonder the delegates are
using little more than strong language to
show their contempt in making things lively
for Hazard"
The Aberdeen Herald says: "George Hazzard.

assigned to some one who can run It in the in

The Chehalis Nugget says: "The Washington
delegation is said to be for Cleveland, though
the convention lacked the courage of its pro-
fessed convictions and deliberately sent its dele

SEATTLE. MONDAY. JUNE 8.
A SECOND TERM.

There have been since the retirement OF
Washington from the executive chair ten
cases in which presidents have been re-
nominated for second term; viz, John
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Munroe, John
Quincy Adams, Jackson, Van Buren,,
Lincoln, Grant and Cleveland. OF the six
cases of success only two belong to the
history of our last sixty years, Lincoln
and Grant: men of exceptional quality;
one of them the statesman Of our great
civil war, whom We could not afford to
change when war was raging; the other
the great military savior of the country,
Grant, whose second election was dictated
by gratitude and by desire to stamp with
disapproval the extraordinary abuse and
been subjected. OF the four presidents
who were renominated between 1904 and
1882, Jefferson was a man of extraordinary
political genius; Madison's second nomi-
nation. like Lincoln's. was made in war
time; and Jackson was the popular mill
tary hero of the country.
Since the second nomination OF Monroe
in 1920, period of seventy-two years, the
only presidents who have received Sec
ond nomination have been John Quincy
Adams, Jackson, Lincoln. Van Buren,,
Grant and Cleveland. In seventy.two
years but six presidents have been nomi-
mated for second term; Of the three who
were reelected, Jackson, Lincoln and
Grant, it is true that they were exceptional
men, presiding at time of extraordinary
events and emergencies. OF the three
who failed of reelection, John Quincy
Adams, Van Buren, and Cleveland, it is
but just to say that Adams and Van Buren,
were upright, able men, who had gwen
the country excellent administrations. 1t
is clear that the people do not favor a
second term saving under extraordinary
national emergencies.

A PRAYER OF THE HEART.

o God, lean downward to my couch this night
This awful night of nights-and hear the
prayer
That fain would struggle up the startled air,
To vex Thine ear, from my lips dumb and
white
With pain Lean down from heavens lone de.
light,
And lay Thy listening ear to my throat
where
The passionate words stop, voiceless in de-
spair
God, Thou canst hear and understand Alright
All that my tortured heart would ask of Thee.
Put out the fires that leap along my veins,
And bid this beating of my pulses ceasei
Take, take thsse maddening dreams away from
me,
And cool my eyes with tears like gentle
ralNS......
Hear Thou my worldless prayer! God, give
me peace9

that he would not blame the Ulster Prot

"Mr. Harrison has made splendid presi-
