Party Club has addressed an open letter
to Governor McGraw, Mayor Robinson
and Judge Jordan, Of the superior court,
propounding the following questions: "Tn
view Of the fact that the industrial inter
ests OF our country, state, city and coun.
ty are in chaotic state, causing great
loss and inconvenience 10 our business
men and great suffering to our working
people and their families, and since all
hopes Of speedy return TO normal indus
trial conditions are fast vanishing, which
means that those who are now halffed
will not be fed at all, and those who are
now law-abiding, peaceable citizens may
be tempted to practice methods prompt.

these people TO pursue? To those whose
cupboards are bare, whose children are
slowly succumbng to disease brought on
by insufficient nourishment, those who
see boundless opportunities, yet all closed
to them as completely as IL they were on
another planet-hsve you thought Of any
measure for relieving the want and mis-.

land like deluge7 Have you any ad-

Az HONEST MAN MISSING. C. W.
Fredericks, bookkeeper of the Baker
Boyer National bank OF Walla Walla, is
missing under mysterious circumstances.
He left Monday, August %, for a few
days recreation at Bingham Springs,
saying he would be back September /.
He never went to the springs, but has
since been traced TO Portland. Beyond
there all trace was lost, and no word has
been received from him. He leaves a
wife, and took none Of his effects. His
accounts at the bank are perfectly
straight, but he left numerous creditors
for small amounts, though not enough to
cause him to leave. Fredericks lived in
Walla Walla five years, and has always
been regarded as strange, mysterious
character, little OF his past history being
known. He is an expert accountant aud
educated in German. Two weeks prior
/, to his departure he appeared agitated and
drank heavily.
VALUE OF MoNEy.-W hat is the Use Of
talking about cheap money? There can
be no such thing. Money must be kept
to certain stan dard or it loses it's pur-
chasing quality, which is all that makes
it valuable. II the dollar is cheapened
80 that it is only worth so cents, it would
take 50 to buy 81 worth. A silver dollar
is worth dollar because it is money. II
it was not money It would be worth about
90 cents. The only sense in which money
can be cheap il in the rate of interest
charged for its use. The reason why we
have so much English money invested in
this country is because it costs less than
our own money. An English investor
thinks he is doing well II he gets per
cent. for his money. Few Americans
would be content with that. In this
sense American money is dear and Eng
lish money cheap. Telegraph.

A BRIGHT IpgA.--The editor sat in his
bard-bottomed chair, trying to think Of
thought; and he plowed all his fingers
about through his hair. bat not new
topic they brought. He'd written on
temperance, tariff and trade, and the
prospects on raising a crop, and joked
about ice cream and lemonade till his
readers had warned him TO stop. And
weary with thinking, sleep came TO his
eyes, and he piilowed his head on his
desk, when the thoughts while awake
had refused to arise, came in troops that
we're strange and grotesqne. And az his
fresh ideas airily float, he selects the
bright ones Of the tribe, and here is the
rich gem while dreaming he wrote: "Now
is the time to subscribe"
