THE HOLLY BAKBERRT.
A Beautiful and Characteristic Flower
Common to All Washington.
Anacortes Farmer.


Anacortes Farmer.
We are glad to observe the degree OF interest
manifested by the press on the subject OF the
selection of the state flower. There are obiec-
tons to every flower named.
As the Farmer editors have made some study
Of the fora and general botany OF the state. we
have concluded that the beautiful cluster OF
bright yellow flowers OF the holly-leaved tar
berry lher5ers Gqug9ltgm} IS the NOS. aopsopti-
ate. for many reasons, among which are:
First-It il indigenous in the forests of both
Eastern and Western Washington.
Second-it Is the only Towering evergreen
that is at all suited for the Evergreen state"
Third-The plant has Il leaf that is almost pre-
ciseiy the same as the holly.
Fourtb-A hen the plant il worked into a
wreath along with the evergreen vine generally
found traiting on the ground IN the forests OF
the state and commonly called "kiunikinnlck,
the botanical name OF which IS drct0stGpRgsos
ara ugsi, the effect is magical Tor decoration
purposes. The kinniklnnick has e bright red
berry similar 10 that OF the holly, All 1t Is de-
voured With great zest Dy the Beats, ana heAce
is often called bearbeTFy mot oarOerry.)
The plant of the proposed SKATE flower must
not be confused with the "Oregon grape"
(ber5-is repens), which has a height of less than
a foot, and the leaves OF which are no. OF the
true holly type, but are longer, narrower and
purplish, and the root OF which possesses tonic
properties not contained in the root OF the
giant, or beTbsris aqufoliun. The leaves OF both
varieties OF the 5erteFis are attached to a stem
and "feathered" on each side after the manner
of the locust The leaves OF q true holly come
out directly from the twig.
The giant variety of the bsrberis attains a
height OF ten feet. and II is this variety that
produces the cluster of glorious flowers. 1t does
not bear am fruit.
Il is the small variety OF bfrb>vis that bears the
purplish fruit known as Oregon grape"

THE HOME RULE FIGHT.
Parnellites Mob q Priest and DR.. Tam
ner~-Gladstone at Edinburgh.

n~er-Glaustone at edinburgh.
DUBLIN, June S.-Archbishop Walsh has
written a circular letter TO the Catholic clergy
stating that language directly calculated to i'll
cite turbulence has been addressed to
the people. It declares that IL is the plain
duty OF the clergy to use their best efforts 10
preserve the tranquility OF the country. simui-
tsneously with the appearance of this circular
letter there appears a speech by Father Beaan,
delivered at a meeting of anti-Parnel-
lites. Father Behan says Parnell was
q curse to the country: that the Parnel-
lites did homage to lasciviousness. every man
living . loose life; that every drunkard, every
man who liked 10 beat MS wife, was 8 Parne lite,
and that every virtuous man belonged
TO the national federation. When Father Behan
was delivering his speech his Parneilite
hearers hooted and iee.ed him. The excited
priest, in angry tones, cried: "When We are
your masters We will crush you" This state
ment added fuel to the flame OF Parnellite rage,
and indescribable uproar followed, when the
meeting dispersed The presence OF the police
was the only thing that prevented fighting.
Dr.. Tanner, protected BY 100 policemen, at.
tempted today to address a political gathering
at Tuam, County Galway. The ParnelIites
fore the Tannerltes arrived, and
when the latter reached the place
OF meeting they found the enemy in full posses
sion. Tanner made determined efforts to get
upon the platform, but each time he was
knocked down. Finally the platform was
pulled down and Tanner caught beneath it.
THIS was the signal for a free fight,
and fun waxed fast aud furious until the 20 es
took q hand The officers made no political dis
~tinction, but hit with their batons every one
within reach. Theshop keepers, fear
ing trouble, closed their shops, and
this was doubtlessly a wise pr
caution. for the fighting was continued on the
street. The situation Became so dangerous that
the police was compelled to charge the mob
with drawn swords. This had the de-
sired effect. The fighting stopped and
the mob finally dispersed. During the
melee at the meeting some enterprising thief in
crowd relieved DR.. Tanner of a s. note aud gold
chain and valuable jewel. Though Tanner was
severely handled, his injuries are not serious.
