HOW THEY GOT HERE.

Professor Wiggins has theory that
man first came to the earth from Mars
on the tail of a comet. We don't pre-
tend to hoist our humble judgment on
the same pole with the learned pro-
fessor. We won't dispute his assertion
with regard to man, but he can't comet
that way about the woman. She may
have come by the comet route, but if
she did we will wager a weeks wages
against hundred dollars that she
occupied front seat along with the
driver, and that she came without her
Mars consent. The first lady in the
land must have presented startling and
handsome appearance with her untanned
dog skin gloves, plumed hat and balloon
sleeves, as she rested her high-heeled
shoes against the dashboard and streaked
it through the upper ether. Our private
opinion is that while man came from
Mars, the ladies, God bless them, are
ineal descendants of a daughter of the
Aurora Borealis, the condensation of all
the lights and tints and delicate beauties,
for they remain and abide with her even
unto this day.

THE PAss1Nq or Politics.

The New York republican state plat
form indorses the separating of munich
pal from national and state politics,
taking the very sensible ground that for
city government politics are not needed,
and that a non-partisan ticket is better
calculated to furnish the city with good
officers. This is no doubt true. If pol
itics were left out OF the question, and
the right was conceded by all parties to
their members to vote regardless of
politics in city elections, better city gov
ernments would be the result. There
would be less rings, less corruption. and
such societies as Tammany would lose
their power. The individual voters
could and would then meet on the COM
mon ground of common interest. Po-
litical prejudices would be laid aside,
and the property owners and tax payers
would be able to have something to say
concerning the city government.
AS it Is, the citizen is bound by party
ties and party fealty, and the ward
striker being able to count practically
the amount of honest votes candidate
or party is to receive, is enabled by COM
binations to control the party and fill
the offices, though in minority. We
believe the time will come when not
only city elections, but state elections
will be disconnected from national poll.

that are in no way connected with ma.

A SUCCESSFUL APPEAL.

Young America Fired the Paternal Heart
with Patriotism.
The peculiar brightness of Boston
children is established anew by story
printed in the Journal. It concerns
girl twelve years old, whose father told
her Just before the Fourth of July that
he could not afford to buy any fire
works, but that she and Willie would
have to watch the other children.
The small brother seemed quite re-
signed to the inevitable, and on the
morning of the Fourth marched across
the street to see the other boys fire
their torpedoes.
The little girl was not so easily salts
fed. At first she could not believe but
that it was a joke, and hunted all over
the house for bundles which might
suggest firecrackers. At breakfast,
however, when nothing was said about
fireworks, she became convinced that
her father had really meant what he
said, and that she and Willie were to
have no frecrackers, nor even bundle
of torpedoes. All at once she covered
her face, burst into tears, and said:
go papa, what do you suppose Samuel
Adams and George Washington and
John Adams and John Hancock would
say if they were alive?''
That was too much for the fond
father, who came home two hours
afterward loaded down with frecrack-
ers, torpedoes, pinwheels, Roman can
dies and what not.

The Truth Of the Matter.

The st. Louis Republic calls atten-
ton to the true conditions relating to
sugar, and their consideration for q
moment will lead to the conclusion
that step has been made in the right
direction, with. reference to this i'm
portant article OF necessity, even
though it may not be all that the
public necessities requires:
Under the Mckinley law the sugar
refiners received a protection of one
half of one cent per pound, and an
additional one-tenth of one cent per
pound on sugars imported from
bounty.paying countries. Under the
new law the refners have protection
of one-eighth Of cent per pound, and
the additional one-tenth of cent per
pound from bounty.paying countries.
The duty under the Mckinley law
was equal to 60 cents per hundred
pounds; under the new law it is 22t
cents per hundred pounds. Now, if
the Sugar Trust, under the Mckinley
law, which allowed it GO cents per
hundred pounds protection, were
enabled to exact from the people $685.
100000 in one year, then it is clear
that under the new law, with the duty
cut 10 224 cents per hundred pounds,
it can only exact $9,375,OOO in one
year; q clear saving Of $15, ,625 900 per
annum. As a matter of course the
whole OF this rascally duty ought to

How it Works.

AS long as frail human nature ex-
lists, it will undoubtedly be controlled
by selfishness, and the misguided in
stinct boasted of as "enlightened sci.
fishness" by such near-sighted, one.
sided advocates of policy for place as
the Olympian. The foreigner when
he finds that he is debarred from send
ing his products to this country by
prohibitory protective tariff, immedi-
ately favors retaliatory measures, and
he at once practically closes the door
to our products. This is simply hui
man nature; q narrow exhibition OF it,
it is true, but nevertheless broad
enough to control all international
policy.
Witness the result OF q duty on
eggs, an item in the Mckinley law
placed there presumably in the interest
of the poultrymen of the United States.
Under this provision no poultry may
be shipped to Canada except for breed.
ing purposes and high duty makes
poultry trade with Canada impossible.
When the Wilson bill was under
consideration the poultrymen of the
nation combined in petitioning Con-
gress to place eggs on the free list in
the hope Of securing the removal of
the retaliatory legislation of that coun-
try. The tariff of 5 cents per dozen
on eggs which was to have been such .
boon to American producers proved a
damage to the extent of untold thou
sands of dollars in closing the Cana
dian market to American poultry,
which had always had a good market
there.
As with poultry and eggs in Canada
SO with all things in all nations.
Nations, like men, believe in that
policy which brings about an inter.
change OF courtesies. "I trade with
those who trade with me-" says the
merchant. So with the nations. Clos
ing American markets to foreign pro-
ducts closes foreign markets to Ameri.
can products, and until the American
people can content themselves to live
and prey upon one another that policy
which prohibits foreign interchange is
unwise and unpatriotic.

A Word to Our Populist Friends.

Practically your cause is the same
as OF the Democrats; to down the pres
ent corrupt, proaigate and ruinous
party who enacted the laws OF the
State and hold the State and most OF
the county offices. Their success has
only been attained through divided
counsels. If the opposition had been
united they would not have been able
to fasten their policy like fostering
sore on the body polite. With union
now they can be hurled from power.
There is not the slightest doubt of
this proposition.
What then is the duty of the hour?
Is it to throw your votes away, to
practically disfranchise yourselves,
when by placing your crosses in the
proper places upon the ballot you can
inaugurate policy of reform quite as
comprehensive as that which would
result from the triumph of your own
party? Would it not be far more
sweeping, with the party of reform
installed in the national government,
to make the State in sympathy with
the general Administration than to
secure your party triumph in county
or State, were it possible to do so?
1t has generally been claimed that a
representative in Congr ess to work ef-
fectively must be in sympathy with
Congress and the national executive
departments. II there is any truth in
this, is not that possibility now pre-
sented in unmistskable form? Is it a
sacrifice of principle to accept a surety
OF reform by given policy, when it
will be entirely lost by independent
action?
Let every Populist ponder this
question. 1t seems so plain as to need
no argument. 1t seems to he su.
preme test of sincerity OF conviction,
provided the voter is able to divest
himself OF passion and prejudice, and
this is no time for the entertainment
OF such selfish impulses. Pause and
reflect. The issue is, in a large de-
gree, in your hands.

A Man for the Place.

Probably no man named for SUI
preme Judge brings to his support
better qualifications than John l..
Sharpstein, OF Walla Walla. This as
sertion is made with full realization
of the high degree of responsibility
which attaches to the judiciary. 1t
is made with a belief that this branch
of our government should be sur
rounded by every safeguard, and its
purity maintained at all hazards.
There can be no mistake made
when the choice falls upon a man who
possesses in such an eminent degree
the Jacksonian test of honesty and
capacity. As some of our readers may
not be personally acquainted with the
gentleman, we give place to the fol-
lowing introduction by the Spokane
Chronicle:
John l.. Sharpstein, Democratic
candidate for Supreme Judge, came
to this State in 1865 with his parents
and has made this his home ever
since. He was educated in the
schools of Walla Walla and finally be-
came a student for time in the State
University of Madison, Wis. He is
now thirty-seven years of age. He
has held several important offices and
has never been defeated for any office,
when voted for by the people OF his
county. In 1890 he was elected to the
Legislature, having majority of each
voting precinct in his district. In
this Legislature he served with sufli-
C lent ability and industry to win the
approval of the press without regard
to politics. He had the confidence OF
the Republican members of the Legis-
lature and sustained the same. He is
honest, straig ghtforward and frank in
all things. He does not quarrel with
a person because they can not agree
with him in politics or anything else.
He is kind and cordial and his per-
sonal enemies are few.
He was admitted to practice as an
attorney by the District Court at
Walla Walla in 1880 and made his ap.
pearance in the Supreme Court in
1885. Since his first admission he
has devoted practically all OF his time
to his profession, being engaged in a
great many important cases, and it is
as lawyer that he is chiefly known.
He has friends and clients in all parts
of the State.
1t IL said that he does not regard the
judicial ctfice as in any way political
and for this reason as we'll as others
he will not make any canvass. He
will not even visit the various parts of
the State with view to promoting in
any manner his chances for election,
but will devote himself to his business
just the same as though he was not a
candidate.
