The Paiouse Harvest.

UsIoxrowS, Oct IL Special - The
wheat harvest in this section has received
a serious setback by the heavy rains which
have prevailed for the past week. This
rain Is unprecedented for its heavy down
pour and has caught our farmers in all
conditions. some with heading to do, some
who have threshed, and others who hope
TO before snow flies. The stacks that were
poorly built are seriously injured. while
those well built will not suffer much. The
wheat standing in the fields look some
what bieached at present. Fail work will
be retarded. To refute the idea that moth
ing bat small grain can be raised in this
section of Whitman county the Senior
brothers, John and Charley. who reside
on what is known as the Bald butte. q
few miles from here, show samples of
pears, peaches. prunes. peanuts. broom
corn and sugar beets- Farmers are aware
that they must get out of the old rut of
raising small grain only and must di-
versify in order to make ends meet Seat
tie butchers come up here and purchase
the finest cattle and hogs for their several
markets, and if this is SO our small fruits
will sustain the Palouse reputation equally
as we'll.

Disagree ment Between the Engineer
and sewer Contractor.
Robert kath is the contractor who is
constructing a sewer in Ballard on Second
avenue. from Ballard avenue to Salmon
bay. 5. X. Smith, the city engineer, is
superinIending the work. Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. kath have not worked in harmony,
and Mr.. kath, feeling aggrieved, filed a
complaint with the city clerk, and il was
brought before the council Tuesday night.
The consideration OF the complaint occu-
pied nearly the entire evening, and some
OF the councllmen were considerably ex-
cited.
Mr.. kath brought @. f. Wegener. the
engineer, from Seattle to represent HIM.
There were also present about twenty
Germans, all in sympathy with the
wrongs OF Mr.. kath. The complaint sets
forth that the city engineer is making
such unreasonable demands for the com
pletion Of the sewer that unless they be
withdrawn the contractor cannot finish
the work. IS he must do so contrary 10
the engineers orders. The engineer or
dered the contractor TO begin at The ton of

The contractor claims this will be a great
damage 20 him on account OF the dir cav

pines by stones falling upon them. The
contractor also stated the engineer was
changeabie, having ordered him 20 do the
same work "a tarce difiegen. ways in one

DocpoRED B4II07 BOXES

The other day we had the pleasure of meeting Mir. Jacob Trfeber. Jake is jolly sort of Republican, good finaneier and bank president. but sometimes fanciful. Last year he be- came possessed of the idea that he was making race for Congress down in the First-that district of wonderfully constructed ballot boxes and the most expert counters on the face of the earth. They do say that it required such heroic treatment as the publication of the returns to cure Jake of his mania.-Searcy Econo- mist.
 There are very few of us in this neck of the woods who would not prefer Jake as Congressman to your man Featherstone. AS to our wonderfully, at least they seem so to the Republicans and Populists, for the votes came out of them just as they are put in, and that is more than can be said for the ballot boxes presided over by the enemy. When the Republicans or Populists have control of them, 800 Democratic votes might turn out in the count as 750 iOT IHe OLHef sue. DOH you say anything about wonderfully con structed' ballot boxes. Better keep still on that point.-Helena World.
 The World is, as usual, right. The average man would infinitely prefer most any Republican to the claim all populist, and when it comes to ballot box frauds both Republicans and Populists live in exceedingly thin glass houses.

Of one thing you may be sure, he said, ''I am not appointing bank examiners to advance the political fortunes of any man. am not giving out prizes to Congressional constituents. The National banking system is too delicate and too purely of business nature to be hampered and disturbed by filing it with raw political favor ties. "

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION ASsuR-
 ING A WARllKE rU=.

The Provisional Government We'll For
 tifled aud Win Not Give Up Unless
 Demanded by an Act of Congress Mir.
 BiouBs Given Another Severe Thrust.
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-The general impr ssion is that the president will at once send in his response to the senate resolution calling on him for all in- structions and correspondence to and with American representatives to Ha- waii since 1881. It is certain that this budget will contain information up to the departure of Willis for Hawaii, but it is by no means certain that the correspondence passing between the minister and the state department since his arrival in Hawaii will be made public. The resolution of Mir. Hoar calling for the correspondence and instructions, as above stated, con tsined the usual pro~iso. eff consist ent with the public interest"
 The late news brought by the steamer Arswa which sailed from Honolulu on Dec. 4 for Victoria, B. O., to the effect that the provisional government will not surrender peaceably. unless de- manded by congress, is creating con- siderable stir among the members of congress. What action congress will take in the matter is difficult to con- jecture. The restoring of the queen is endorsed by some mem bers and bitterly opposed by others. To say the least of 1t, the question Is becoming serious.

HAWAHA AGAIN.

Affairs are again taking a sen satioual turn. Advices have been received that Minister Willis has as yet done nothing towards the resto- ration. Moreover, the people of the Islands are beginning to meet and pass resolutions regarding President Gleveland's policy. The matter is one of the greatest importance and the position of our Government is a precarious one. The United States cannot afford to turn back, nor should there be a desire to do so. The stand taken by the administra- tion is not only a source of great comment in this country, but also in Europe. The presence of the British cruiser Champion may or may not be significant. England has habit of seizing the opportun- ity and also everything else in sight A habit is hard to break or, at any rate, it seems more natural that a British man of-war is on the scene. It is supposed that this ac- tion on the part of England is friendly, and it should be so con strued in the absence of any eyi- dence to the contrary. Whatever it may mean, the right thing to be done should be done, in the face of all opposition.
 The Advisory Council at special meeting delivered itself of the fol- lowing:
 RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee inquire of the American Minister whether his instructions were covered by and in harmony with the letter of Secretary Gresham to President Cleveland. Ifso, whether he was instructed to use force. RESOLVED, That should the an- swer be in the affirmative, this Coun- cil recommend that Alr. Willis be im- mediately given his passports and the eX-Queen be made a prisoner of State.
 The delivery of ports to Min ister Willis would not make the slightest difference. It might arouse little more determination to see things lighted
 Manifest destiny, says Mr. Dana, lis an old American tradi- tien against which no President of the U. s. has yet been able to con tend with success. eHawaii is in it, and will stay there
 The United States has never con- desc ended to reach into the interna- tional grab-bag. The infiiction of the wrong was due to the American Minister The execution of justice is what Mir Cleveland desires, and Providence permitting, he will ac- complish it So much for manifest destiny

He says there will be trouble if the United States attempts to restore the queen by force. He states that Blount in preparing his re- pert positively refused to hear evidence except just as suited him and those with his preconceived ideas. He also states that even the better class of natives espoused the provisional cause.

A VERY bitter discussion took place in the House Committee on the admission of Utah to the statehood. Of course the question of polyga- nous marriages caused all the row.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1893-12-14
The House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-The house discussed the question of pinning an- other star on the American flag. Con- sideration of the bill for the admission of Utah as state was begun. The principal point at issue was whether the enabling act should contain a pro- viso imposing pains and penalties for polygamous marriages, the contention on the one hand being that the state should come in on an equal footing with other states, unhandicapped by such provisions, and on the other hand that as polygamy had been stamped out by Federal statute and as the admis- sion of the territory would repeal that statute congress should make 1t practi- cally part of the enabling act. The bill was opposed and favored, but no action was taken.
 The house bill granting the Kansas Oklahoma Central and Southwestern railway rightof way through Oklahoma and the Indian Territory passed.
