THE STATE PRESS.

The Olympia Tribune publishes an advertise
ment of the Juarez lottery.
Port Crescent Leader: "The vast majority OF
the people OF this state are in favor of the gov
eminent appropriation for the building OF the
Lake Washington ship canal. The crop of dys-
psptics is fortunately small who oppose every
improvement outside their own doorysrd."
Tacoma Ledger: "The anti-Blaine Oregontdn
is making more or less sincere effort to con-
vince itself, and possibly its readers, that
Blaine's resignation means something else than
his own candidacy-that perhaps It means that
he only wants to defeat Harrison, and that lie
will ultimately do this by putting forth third
candidate who will be successful. The Oregonidn
would make better use OF Its space by arguing
the probability OF the improbable az an abstract
proposition"
Fairhaven Herald: "There Is no disposition to
belittle Harrisons administration. 1t has been
strong, dignitied and without faint OF corrup-
ton. But its greatest achievements have been
those of diplomacy, and for them the chief
credit uuquestionably belongs to the great sec
Rotary whom the jealousies OF President Harri-
son and others of his advisers have driven from
the cabinet. Let as hope that he will yield to
the wishes of the masses and give to them an
opportunity to cast their votes for his elevation
to the highest office in the power of the Ameri-
can people to bestow."

hop VINES MUST BE SPRAYED.
The Lioe Arc Everywhere and Must Be
Killed, Ezra Meeker says.


PUYALLUP, June s, 1892.
To THE EDITOR: Probably more than nine
tenths OF the hop growers of the state of Wash
ington intend spraying their hops, 'if neces-
sary." as the phrase goes, to save the crop. I
know this from personal assertion as we'll az
from the tone of large correspondence with
the growers. This phrase, ''if necessary" covers
multitude OF reservations, in that some intend
to wait for a "base attack" OF lice before even
preparing to fight, while others, while prepared,
are awaiting developments before beginning;
and again. others are waiting to see the differ
ent sprayers and emulsions tested before max
ing their own preparation.
I have Just made the rounds Of a dozen or
more of the hop fields june y, and find the lice
and fly in every one of them. and now, IL the
hop farmers intend to do anything to save their
crop. now is the time to act
have the English and American sprayers at
work in our Kent hop yards, aud any one can go
there and see the practical demonstration OF the
work done. Our imported sprayer cost $3.50 laid
down at Kent. The homemade is cheaper.
runs lighter. uses less emulsion, and does moro
effective work. Any person intending to try to
save their crop by spraying ought to go aud see
this practical denomination of what can be
done.
We still are of the same opinion that the
quassia-whale oil soap emulsion is the best, be-
ing safe, economical and effective, but the main
thing now is whatever is done ought to be done
promptly. Late or "half-wsy" work is worse
than useless, as we know by last years expert
ence of not only losing the hops but also the sd-
ditional expense of the feeble effort made to
save them. We know that the crop can be saved

warning, believing the time has arrived to act

THE BLAINE RECIPROCITY POLICY.

United States Senator Colquitt. in the
current number of the North american Re
riesc, makes the absurd claim that 1.-THE
Blaine policy of reciprocity in trade with
the West Indies and Central and South
America is \ crafty departure IN the inter-
ests of American manufacturers and
against the interests of the American
farmer" Senator Colquitt totally ignores
the fact that the exports of -four from the
United States 10 Cuba slone during the
coming year will amount to million
barrels; that the American wheat farmers
and millers have secured this great market
which heretofore was monopolized by the
Spanish farmers and millers; that this
policy has procured the removal of re-
strictions upon importations of American
pork and other hog products into Germany
and France.
Under the reciprocity clause of the Nc
Kinley tariff the president was authorized
TO re-ensct duty on Cuban. German and
French sugar. Cuba's market for nearly
all her sugar was the United States: Ger
many sold US about SIS.0ca,CO0 annually,
and the diplomatic use Of this power con-
ferred by the reciprocity provision of the
Mckinley tariff was the lever that forced
Spain, Germany and France 70 open their
markets 10 American Aour aud pork. The
voice that urged this policy upon con-
gress. the hand that cast II into written
expression were the voice and hand OF
James G. Blaine.

SEATTLE. THURSDAY, JUNE 8.
THE SECOND TERM.

At least 100 of the chief supporters Of
the president at Minneapolis are men APP
pointed to Office by him: his principal sup
port in the daily press of the party is from
papers, whose editors, like Whitelaw Reid,
of the New York Tribune, and Charles
Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia Press,
were given high Office by him. The APP
pointment of "Steve" Elkins as secretary
of war was one that has no plausible ex-
PLANTATION save that the president
needed that peculiar kind of military
taste and ability that is necessary to the
organization and conduct of personal
political campaign rather than the admin
istration of the army of the United States.
Among the workers for the president at
Minneapolis is John G. New, consul gen.
eral at London. The influence of William
Walter Phelps, minister to Berlin, and f.
Burd Grub, minister to Madrid, was ex-
erted to make New Jersey solid for Har-
rison, and Ex-Governor Porter, of In
diana. minister to Italy. came home in
time to put in his work for Harrison.
There is joint resolution now pending
before the Senate which makes q presi-
dent ineligible for reelection, but permits
his election after an interval of one term.
The present is a good time to bring the
question before the country, since the
dangers of second term seeking are made
obvious by the present situation. Under
existing circumstances when the Repub-
lican party at the South has no active
existence beyond the federal office-holders
il is possible for president to embarrass
the free choice of the people by the pres
ence of over 200 representatives Of his
patronage in the National convention.

There is a large sized howl in Spokane When
James ]. Hill was seeking a right-of-way
through that city he was ready and willing to
promise the Spokane people terminal rates"
He got what he asked for, and now he tells the
spokanese that he will give them "rolative
rates." which means that there will be certain
discrimination against the inland city. Hill
was never known to be over scrupulous when
his interests conf1cted with those Of others,
ana, recent years, his added wealth and
power and the extension of his railroad across
the continent have not wrought In him change
of heart The Spokane people fell down and
kissed the hem of his ulster when he honeyed
them with words of sweet promise; the people
of Seattle care always glad to welcome Mr. Ill.,"

THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.

The opposition to the denomination Of
Mr.. Harrison by the Republicans of New
York is susceptible of an entirely patriotic
explanation. The conditions surrounding
the coming presidential election in that
state are not those which prevailed in 1884
and 1888. The fraudulent Hill legislature
passed and Governor Flower signed bill
throwing the election machinery of New
YORK city into the hands of Tammany
Hall, and elsewhere throughout the state
the same course has been pursued wher-
ever it was possible. The Republican
party this fall therefore will have
TO contend in New York state with an adj
ditional element of fraud of vast capacity
FOR mischief. Victory is. under the cir
cumstances, only possible to the Republic
ans through the nomination of a man
who will not only command the united
and enthusiastic support of his party, but
draw from the ranks of the enemy. This
Is in substance the statement of the stu
alton in the Empire state. as We find it
set forth In the Albany Erening Journal,
which says:
With Blaine or Sherman. the Republicans
could roll up such a majority in this state that
II would be impossible for Tammany to over
come IL by the fraudulent means placed in its
hands by fraudulent legislature.
IL Benjamin Harrison receives the Republican
nomination at Minneapolis he will have no
more firm supporter than the Euening .TournGl
We realize, however. that to enter upon the
campaign of 1892 with him as the standard
bearer would be to throw away the opportunity
which is presented to the party. ana that the
most indefatigable labor only would overcome
the mistake which the followers of the presi-
dent seem to think is certain TO happen at Min
neapolis

A Proofo Death.

II most people are afraid of any
thing it is of being buried alive.
That cases do happen where it is
difficult for the most experienced
physicians to determine whether a
person is really or only apparently
dead, may be judged from the fact
that at different times scientific as
sociations ard even governments have
offered prizes for the discovery of
some means by which it might at once
be determined whether death had
actually ensued or rot. AS late as
1873 the French Academy of Sciences
offered prize of 5000 francs for a
practical "death test" The professor
who obtained the prize gives the
following unique directions, which,
if carried out to the letter, will prove
conclusively whether or not life is ex-
tinct. Take the hand of the supposed
dead person and hold it between
yourself and lighted lamp. Extend
the fingers so that each one touches
his fellow. Then look at the space
between them. If a scarlet red color
appears where the fingers touch, life
is not extinct, because the scarlet
lines show that the blood is still
circulating through the tissues, which
have not yet congested,
If, on the other hand, the expert
ment show no red lines. life has in
deed vanished and there is no further
hope of reviving the tabernacle OF
clay" or fears of burying it alive.
1t is said that the most extensive and
thorough trials have established the
truth of these observations.
