A pessimstc writer on Russia says: "One OF
the most remarkable arraignments of the Rus
sian government ever permitted is that pub
lished last week in leading st. Petersburg
journal 1t pointed out the fart that the gov
eminent had practically nullifed the good work
of Alexander H., aad had brought the country
to bankruptcy and the verge of ruin. 1t cited
instances of serious disafecticn in even the
most loyal provinces. and predicted civil war
of great magnitude. The proposition to
again reduce the mujits to serfdom, in
order that they might share the harvests of
the large landed proprietors, has reused the
most intense feeling throughout the length and
breadth of the empire. Coupled with the gov
ernment's indifference and apparent lack of in
clination to assist the suffering districts, this
proposition to restore serfdom is regarded as
the end at which the ear has all along aimed,
and nihilism has revived everywhere in the
large cities OF Russia in its most dangerous
form. The prisons are full of suspects, and the
roads to Siberia crowded with the condemned.
Altogether there is almost a reign of terror
throughout the country"

Victoria CosOnlst, tep. ~.
On the City OF Kingston yesterday there ar
rived from the Sound Mr.. T. Thrale sich, for
mery OF Vancouver. but who now registers as
from Agassiz, B. c., where he has Just con-
cluded arrangements to start hop growing on
an extensive scale The capabilities of the
Asassiz valley for hop growing are already well
known, and it is no experiment Mr.. Sich Ia
about to try. He has been for years engaged in
the business of handling hops, knows exactly
what he is doing, and after looking at all phases
OF the plan is fully persuaded that there ia
some money to be made out of it. Mr. sich
has just returned from visit to Puyallup, the
center of the great hop growing industry of
Washington state, where he went to examine
the appliances used there for dying and curing.
While there he procured plans for a treble dryer,
which he proposes putting up at AgassiZ, and
curing the product of 100 acres. At Agassiz Mr..
Seh has secured 100 acres OF land, some of it
directly adjoining the Dominion government
experimental farm. The land is the very thing
required for the purpose, and there is frst-class
shelter all round from the mountains which
surround the valley. In April about the sec
ond week. the first batch OF hop plants will be
set out, and these, it is expected, will give
fair yield this year. The idea Mr.. SIGH has in
view ia to grow only iirst-c ass varieties, and he
is convinced he cal produce an article that will
bring good price in the English markets. The
cost of raising, curing, baling, etc, making full
allowance for all penses, including labor, ETC.,
is estimated at about cents per pound for the
seasons growth, and, price of from % to 30
cents per pound can be had for firstclass arti-
Gle in the British markets, very good return il
Immediately promised.

THE STATE FLOWER.
SEATTLE. Feb. .. $50

EEAl il.Es req -, Iet-.
To The EDITOR: There should be more pro
nouncei and general expression in regard to
our state flower before the subject is finally
settled. As it stands, no particular sound has
been made, and If some universal preference
were widely expressed. il would render the com.
mittee who have the final choice to cast better
able to decide with moro Intelligence and JUS
tice.
One has suggested the white clover as state
flower, but it Blooms alike from the Atlantic 70
the Pacific, and has no peculiar rights here.
Another has mentioned the 1ogwood It's
flower is beautiful, its name ugly; the latter
alone is against it Another has mentioned a
flower that thrives in lighthouses. Washington
must have the wide delds blossom.
The writer's preference is for the rhododen-
dron, and herewith its claims are presented,
and may 1t be the winning candidate"
First-it grows in natural and wide profusion
in our own state.
most graceful, rendering its blooming in the
tender green of the spring wilderness of har-
monious coloTing. Its delicaey of color and
cIacefu,uess OF growth TT it beautifully for
be;a colored and black illustration.
Third and last-Its leaf is evergreen, aud al.
most this alone should decide its preference,
since the state OF Washington is now universally
known and accepted as the Evergreen state
and what flower could be more apropoS than
one whose leaf is evergreen?
To conclude, the wild and natural profusiou
o! the rhOdodendron, its great beauty and its
evergreen leaf, render it pre-eminently the state
flower. ALSoRA HiYNER Fry.

AN UNDERESTIMATE ILLusrE.rIoN.

one OF the Democratic spell-binders who
electrified the meeting on Wednesday de-
scrlbed how Samuel J. Tilden oyerthrcw
fammany hall. and dubbed Mr.. Ronald
as the local Tilden for the hour.
The comparison of Mr. Ronald to Tiiden
is not happy. Tilden was not reforE4er,
except when he wanted to get rid of a
political combination that interfered with
ms own personal advancement. So far
from being reformer was Tilden that. in
1865, when Hoffman was elected governor
by the issue of 80, 900 fraudulent naturalIza-
ton tickets by the corrupt Tammany
judiciary, Tilden was the engineer of that
corrupt campaign, was chairman of the
state committee and was personally
charged with responsibility for its in
famies by Horace Greeley in the New \ ork
Tribune.
Tilden was not "a reformer' in the
Tweed ring defeat, for he never assailed
the ring until it had been fully exposed by
the New York Times, disrupted, convicted,
and was on the way to execution. Tilden,
when Tweed was caught with his hand in
the city's pocket, simply joined in the hue
and cry that followed Tammany's flight TO
escape arrest. Tilden was a keen Judge of
both time and place when he wanted to
pose as reformer. When Tweed was
already wrecked beyond restoration
then Tilden fastened 10 make
capital for himself as 4 reformer. The
credit he won by thus catching the reform
tide at its food was not due TO the fact
that he was reformer, but that he was an
excellent judge of time and place to shout
reform.
The work of municipal reform was done
in 1s71-2 by tie anti-ring people of both
parties. Tilden ''caught on in tire to
get credit for this; he was shrewd enough
TO ride rising wave of reform and make
the most of it before it began to recede.

Cleveland might buy farm on Long
Island and occupy himself with truck
farming and angling for sea bass.
A Southern congressman. after hearing
Ben Butler declaim against personal and
political corruption, said: ''Those are your
sentiments, Mr.. Butler?" "They are. "
'Then let us pray" When the Demo-
cratic reformer cries out against the spoils
system, pleads for higher tone in American
politics and closes by pointing out Grover
Cleveland to the American youth las by
far the most impressive personality in
his party, we feel as if the party needed
the intercession of prayer in its behalf.

In THE FIRELIGHT.
The fire upon the hearth is low.

The fire upon the hearth is low.
And there is stiffness everywhere,
Like troubled spirits here and there,
The freight shadows fluttering go;
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from farther room
Comes, "Now lay me down to Sleep
And somehow with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with dear one there;
And as | hear the child's "Amen,n
My mothers faith comes back to me;
Crouched ut her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
oh. for an hour in that dear place
Oh, for the peace of that dear timei
Oh, for that childish trust sublimeS

Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
sweet magic OF that treble tone
And "Now lay me down to sleep.'

The Canadian government has just published
the totals of imports and exports for 1901. Com
pared with 1890 the total of the trade for 1891
shows decrease of s222 4jG; as compared with
1852 it shows a loss of sl1,95i,s92. Compared
with the totals for 1871 the gain in twenty years
is but half million dollars, but in proportion
to population this trade was greater in 1871
than in 1891. At this time, however, two
things have been increasing in Canada, the pub
lie debt and taxes. and thoughtful Cadsdians
are asking how are they to be paid, with a low
rate OF increase in population and lower rate
OF increase in trade?
