Col. }. Hampton Hoge, of Virginia, who
was some two months ago appointed con
sui at Annoy, China, has probably learned
a lesson in punctuality that he will not
forget in a hurry. Instead Of starting
post haste for China as soon as he got his
commission, Col. Hoge dawdled around
Washington and Virginia until the thirty
days allowed him by law to sail for his
station had eXpired then he got an ex-
tension of time, dawdled around some
more and finally, about ten DAYS ago.
started To China by way of San Fran
cisco. In the meantime some of Col.
hoge's enemies filed charges against
him with the state department. so that
when he reached san Francisco he found
awaiting him there an order to return at
once to Washington and clear himself of
the charges. Had the colonel hurried off
70 China two months ago, as he should
nave done, the chances are no charges
would have been lodged against him. Al
any rate no Geographic recall would have
caught him in Frisco.

THE Tariff Bogev.U

From the Philadelphia Record Dem).
II the panic from which the country has
been suffering had been tariff panic il would
have come on earlier and stopped later. 1t
should have begun when Cleveland was
elected, and should have increased in in
tensity as the time for tariff revision ap-
preached nearer. But it didn't begin when
tariff reform was assured, and il stopped
before tariff revision could be accomplished.
Merchants, manufacturers. buyers and sellers
of stocks, bl llderS. contractors bankers and
the mass OF business men in the country have
taken note OF this state of things, and are
governing themselves accordingly. But the
tarih howlers think that they may scare one
more victory out of timld voters with the

the belief that their old scarecrow has lost
its etiIaey and that the people OF the United
States know what they are about.

The Condition of tho Treasury.
From the Journal of Commerce and CONNER

For some days past the gold reserve in the
treasury has been rising a little, and there
seems to be reason to believe that the treas
ury oflcials are right in expecting that the
reserve may be gradually increased for some
weeks to come. In other words. notwith-
standing the great decrease in customs re-
ceipts, they expect that the government will
be able for little time to meet outRoes with

aimlessly about the lobby of the Fifth Avenue

1t was thought at Washington when
the announcement of the sale of the
Ericsson torpedo boat DESTROYER to the
Brazilian governments agents was made
that this government would object, mas
much as the boat was under contract with
this government to assist in torpedo tests
at Newport. But the Destroyer has been
released from the contract, which means
that Uncle Sam does not want the boat
and will not interfere if Brazil wants her
The extra session of congress was called
for the single purpose of repeating the
purchasing clause of the Sherman silver
law. But it accomplished much more, all
in the line of good democracy. Besides
taking the proper step to restore conf
dence in trade and commerce, it provided
for an avoidance of trouble with China
by extending the time for Chinese regis
tration, and dealt a staggering blow to
federal interference at the polls. And,
furthermore, much of the public business
was put in such shape that the regular
session in December will be able to take
up and consider legislation Of Importance
on the first day of the assembly. The
record of the extra session is good, despite
the time wasted by the flibustering
senator's.

OLYMPIA, Oct. 15.-The checking
up by the Land commission of the
work Of the old State Board of Eouali-
cation aud Appeal, in the matter of
applications to purchase tide land of
the first class, which has been carried
on by the land commission for some
weeks, is revealing a very complicated
state of affairs. At its last two meet
tings the commission has been investi-
eating the work in Jefferson county,
the first county in which the work of
checking up has been completed. 1t
appears that there are 1874 applications
on file. In some forty of these cases
there are important errors in descrip-
tions
They do not follow the lines Of the
map; do not plat out; courses that
should be called north are called
south; they take in plated streets and
include land covered in other applica
tons. In the location of initial points
the courses are too long or too short.
The same is true of boundary lines.
Distances from monuments to bOun-
Diary lines are too long or too short,
and many other important errors in
engineering exist.
Over thirty other applications are
for land which prove to be second and
third class tide lands Certificates of
sale were ordered to be issued Uy the
old board to nearly all of the appli-
cants, whose applications are now
clearly shown to be defective or not in
compliance with the law. Deeds have
been issued in some cases to two diff
ferent parties for the same tract. Ger
tifcates of sale have been issued by
the old board which cover plated
streets, which are voidable at law. In
some cases the language of the certifi-
Gates is such that it is impossible to
tell what it means. There are many
other similar errors existing in appli-
cations to purchase for which certltl-
Gates of sale have been issued. La all
such cases the title to the land pur-
chased is seriously clouded. In order
to cure such defects resolution was
adopted requiring applicants with de-
fective certificates to file an affidavit
that no transfer of the property had
been made, and corrected certificate
will be issued to them.
The numerous inaccuracies in the
descriptions apply not only to Jeffer-
son county, but to all counties in
which tide lands are located, and
similar action will be taken by the
com missioners in reference to all tide
land counties, SO that as speedily as
possible, correct and accurate certifi-
Gates may be issued and all tide land
purchases be clear as to title. If the
amended applications are not made by
intending purchasers, and the correct
ions made as proposed by the board,
defects in title will continue to exist
as the work OF the old board Of equali-
zation and appeal is now shown to be
inadequate and incomplete.

western Washington.

Certainly the state needs settlers.
Our cities need farming communities
around them. All the land between
the Cascades and the sound, all that
splendid valley in Southwestern Wash
ington between the Cascades and the
coast range, all that rich region lying
southwest and north of the Olympics,
all the islands in the sound ought to be
filled with settlers. There is now, at
low estimate, 100000 acres of
arabic land in Western Washington.
Much of it is af the highest fertility
and all of it of good quality. 1t is
noteworthy that such old settled
states as Connecticut, Louisiana, New
Hampshire, Maine, Maryland. Mass
achusetts, New Jersey, South Carolina,
Vermont and West Virginia have less
land under cultivation than might be
profitably cultivated IN Western
Washington. Vermont has about
three-fifths the area in improved farms
which might be cultivated is Western
Washington. The value of the farm
products of Vermont in 1890 was S22,-
100000. At the rate per acre West
ern Washington, If all its areable land
was utilized, would produce crops to
the value of $36.OO0,O0O. But the
average fertility of Western Washing
ing is higher than that of Verm ont,
and owing to the length of the season
and the milder temperature much
more can be raised from an acre than
in the New England states. What
difference these two considerations
would make we do not know, but we
are satisfied that to put the approx
mate vatue of the crop of Western
Washington, if all its arabic land was
utilized, at $50O0OO00 is to keep we'll
within the mark. This is only $40 an
acre, and most people will think that
much too low an average, but OF course
this includes land in pasture as we'll as
land in crop. These figures help US
to form some idea of what we may ex-
pect in Western Washington when the
settlement of its farming lands has
made the wrogress which it is reason
able to look for.-Seattle Telegraph.

Fall Planting the Best.

During the past month or six weeks,
says the Tacoma Ledger, great many
inquiries have been made as to the
best time to plant shade or fruit trees
Some prefer-fall planting because the
soil becomes we'll settled about the
roots before spring; others maintain
that fall planting has no advantages
but shat, on the contrary, they have
-ost trees which were set out just
before winter began and they therefore
consider spring planting more reliable.
Under these circumstances the opinion
of an expert is no doubt entitled to
weight, especially if such expert has
had practical experience in this eli
mate. E. r.. Roberts, gardener of
Point Defiance park, states that fall
planting is preferable to spring plant
ing. because the conditions of the soil
and climate are more favorable. In
propagating plants by cutting it is
always found that roofing is most sue
cessful when the bed in which the cut.
tings are inserted is much warmer
than the atmosphere surrounding
them. The warm soil induces the
formation of roots, while the cool tenn
perature prevents, bud-growths. When
the conditions are reversed the cut
tings will grow for time without
forming roots. 1t has been found
that in the latter part of October and
the first part of November the soil
averages several degrees warmer than
the atmosphere; this gives sort of
natural hot-bed and if freshly-remov-
ed tree be placed in this and planted
properly, the formation of young roots
commences at once, and in q few
weeks good system of roots is estab-
lished, enabling the tree to stand the
changes of winter and make an early
and vigorous start the following spring
So it is s-obvious that the more roots in
the fall the better the growth the next
year.
IF, on the other hand, planting is
delayed until spring, these physical
conditions of soil and atmosphere,
are, to Il certain extent, reversed. The
soil is then cold and accumulates heat
very slowly. especially in western
Washington. Trees planted at this
time will have the buds excited to
growth by the increasing warmth of
the day, and leaves are very apt to be
formed in advance of the roots. These
extract sap from the branches and
the stem of the tree, which as yet, has
no active roots to supply this demand.
If the weather proves to be dry and
warm the evaporation will either
destroy the tree altogether or greatly
check its growth. These. according to
Mr. Roberts, are the reason why spring
planted trees occasionally come out
into leaf, apparently vigorous and
hearty, but suddenly wither and die
under the influence of dry weather.
Practical experience teaches that fall
planting should be done as soon as the
leaves drop-in fact, great success has
attended planting in the month OF
October, when the leaves are still on
the trees. This is matter of very
great Importance, in view of the large
number of trees being set out in this
state. In such matters experience is
the best of all teachers and guides.

A Washington Museum.

The great museum which will be
established as result of the worlds
fair has been presented with many rare
and valuable articles, but for broad
gage liberality it has remained for
Washington to lead the van. At jack

ing is one of the most noticeable. Its
style is decidedly and peculiarly its
own, The immense timbers composing
in part the walls of the building being
larger than the fair visitors, with few
exceptions, had ever seen before. This
