HIS MESSAGE TO THE PULPIT.

The New York EUening Post acutely says
OF the late Phillips Brooks that his success
was due to the fact that he perceived that
while 1t was not possible for the pulpit to
hold its Old place. il was POSSIBLE for the
pulpit to make for itself new and better
place by refusing to waste its energies In
seeking in vain to bring back the irrevo-
cable past. and by adjusting itself TO the
present The method of Phillips Brooks
was TO join hands with all earnest men
everywhere in search for truth and right
eousness; his spirit was that of DR..
Claiming, to whose memory the Ro-
man Catholic churches paid tribute of re-
spect by toliug their bells the day of
his funeral in l6i3. Bishop Brooks had no
sympathy with anything mereley sacer-
dolal; he was utterly careless OF clerical
privileges, always putting himself on terms
Of equality with all men of honesty aud
beneyolence; men of peace and good will.
This libcsality of Bishop Brooks bat few
weeks before his death drew from fellow
bishop a long public protest 10 the church
| az large against the scanialous conduc, of
Philips Brooks an Episcopalian bishop.
in conserving with Congregational pub
licans and Unitarian sinners.
His religion nearly filled Matthew Ar
nolj's famous definition of il IS morality
touched with emotion" The conclusion
Of The Pos. IS that the wonderful success
OF Phillips Brooks proves that "if the
pulpit has declined the trouble is with the
pulpit ana not with the times: that men
are just rs wiling today as they ever were
/ 10 hear gladly the preacher who can put
on ideal Interpretation upon their lives
and quicken al their nooler aspirations
! aud strengthen them III all their worthier
resolves. For such a preacher the time is
always ripe, and for lack Of him too many
churches are dying or dead The surest
way TO re-estabilsh the pulpit in the re-
! spect and sffecuon Of the people is 10
MAKE it tolerant. unaffected. progressive,
ans above all. trsuspsrently honest"
The Pest justly argues that Phillips
Brooks Vas tie giant leader OF those rare
men who in al churches and al! walks Of
life do not consider the promotion of
their own fortunes the chief consideration
in life; who seek 10 turn the national at
tention TO other things than money
making; who concern themselves with
the application Of moral standards to the
management Of public affairs. oae man

Lewis County Hop Acreage Increased
pao

There have been q number of important real
estate desls closed in the vicinity OF Chehais in
the past few weeks Important for the Eeason
that they are destined 10 exert great influence
over the future pro- parity OF the county. The
first o. the transactions refer TO was tie sale
made by A. Fl. Montgomery TO w. A. Press of
thirty acres of land lying along the Cnehalis
river west Of town. for the sum Of 5000 1 his
land was purchased By Mr.. Press for the purpose
OF planting IL ali cut in hops, and ne is making
preparations to commence the work. o. putting
out the plants as soon As spring opens. Then
following this was the lease OF twenty acres of
land from Senator Long by the John Dobson
Hop Com Any, for tina purpose OF planrisg out
and increasing the size of their hop yards. This
will give the latter named company forty acres
of hops when planted, and as they make this
move by which they increase their yards 20
twice their present size after several years ex-
perience III the business il would appear that
there must be money in raising hop, even II
pests do cause trouble, or q conservative COM
pany ike the John Dohson Hop Company would
not double their acreage. Senator Long has also
leased for a term of years another tract of land
to Mr.. j. C. Bush, of this city, who will, IS soon
as spring opens, put the land in shape and pant
in hops and try his hand in vine growing. And
last but not least the sale iest week of forty
acres Of land of the Chehalis Land and Timber
Company's Coal creek subdivision, by Coffmsn

The friends Of Judge Turner have
turned the senatorial struggle into fight
against King county; they call it the
King county ring" but that "ring" seems
TO be made up of all the people of the
county. 1t was against the protest of
Judge Turner's real friends that this issue
was raised, and the people of Spokane are
already in revolt. Judge Turner has per.
mitted hims elf TO be used as the tool of a
faction in Spokane which seek, what it
calls political sovereignty" and his chief
adviser is a citizen of Portland who is
temporarily a resident Of Spokane.
Not one newspaper in the state that gave
loyal support TO Gov. McGraw in the late
campaign IS earnestly advocating the cleo
ton OF Turner. At least five of the mem.
bers Of the legislature voting for Turner
Mcmillan, Hurd, Roscoe. Helm and
Smithson-were elected on the distinct
understanding that they would vote for
Allen. Nearly every vote ,ha, was cast
for John II. McGraw at the late election
would be given for Senator Allen on a
popular ballot.
Il undoubtedly grieves Portland and the
Portland contingent al Spokane that Sc
attic is influential in the politics Of both
parties, tut Seattle enjoyed the same pop
arity long before Turner's advisers left
Oregon. Il is impossible to organize other
sections OF the state against Seattle; Tur.
ner's determined band" fell TO piece. "A
SOON as il was attempted. Halfs dozen
disappointed Office seekers are ALWAYS
ready TO take part in a movement against
the Seattle ring" but the voters of the
state have no grievance to redress. Sc
attic has always lead in opposition TO
corporation domination: has been in the
front rank in every reform movement;
was first TO come to the relief of Spokane,
Eiensburg, Vancouver and Rosiyn in
their days of affiiction. Seattle has been
the Good Samaritan of Washing on. and
has no enemies whose complain, is just.

GRIGGs AND THE SENATE.

One Of the amusing features Of the pres
ent senatorial contest is the tenacity with
which Mr. Griggs, OF Tacoma, seems to
hug the deusion that he may win the
coveted prize. He is apparently inspired
with an insane idea that by prolonging
the deadlock he may yet succeed in in
duCing the Popuiists and the Turner men
to unite with the Democrats and elect him
senator. The effrontery of such scheme
is only equalled by its absolute absurdity.
In the first pace. Mr.. Griggs is not the
choice even OF the Democratic member of
the legsi ature, and there is reason to be-
lieve that if there were the slightest
chance of his election, many of the men
who are now voting for him would trans
fer their allegiance to some Democrat who
has something more than money to COM
mend him. In the second place, it would
border on the miraculous if Mr.. Griggs,
who represents in his own person ali that
the Popuiists abhor, should be abb to win
single vote from the representatives of
that party. We incline to the opinion
that any Populist who should 80 far
forget himself as to cast a vote for Mr..
Griggs for senator would have pleasant
half hour with his constituents when he
returned home. In the third place, Mr..
Griggs stands absolutely no chance of WIN
ming single vote from the followers OF
Mr.. Turner. If some of Mr.. Turner's ad-
visers, notably Mr.. Laugh ton. Mr.. Fair
weather and Mr.. Moore, had vote Mr..
Griggs might get it, because he is the Kind
of a man whom they would delight to
honor. But unfortunately for his hopes
in this direction these gentlemen have no
votes and SO far az can be seen very little
influence By attaching themselves to
Judge Turner they have done that gentle
man an irreparable injury. But for their
advice and pernicious influence it is not
believed that Judge Turner would have
stood out so long against the manifest
wish Of a majority of his party. The fol-
lowers of Judge Turner, however, are con-
trolled by feeling of attachment to him
personally and not by any feeling Of re-
gard or devotion to the advisers named
When they cease voting for Mr.. Turner
they will doubtless exercise their own best
Judgment and decline to be handed over
IN body TO Mr.. Griggs or any other man.
The sooner Mr.. Grlggs and his friends
realize this the more time and money will
