In that black list were two murders
one Of rival by the knife and one of a
mistress by poison. And there were other
things even worse, too shameful indeed to
be written.

So went weeping, and that night, be-

I buried Andres de Fonseca, but with
no pomp, for he mad said that he wished

seem yet more sorrowful before the nlorn-

woman waited in the outer room who had

A number of people gathered to see the
execution. The young men were led to
the place of death by body of soldiers.

The latest news from Hawaii, Wis
Auckland, is to the effect that Willis
has begun inaugurating Oleveland's
policy; that he has made his demand
upon the provisional government to
consent to the queens restoration, and
that she has promised to grant gen.
eral amnesty. But this programme is
not likely to be harmoniously carried
out, for the revolutionists are deter
mined to "hold the fort" and practi-
tically say to the administration
at Washington City, "what are
you going to do about it." His
excellency, Grover Cleveland, is placed
in dilemma out of which even Secre-
tary Gresham cannot rescue him. He
cannot seat the queen by force of
arms without declaration of war,
and this will come in bad grace
against a republican fern of govern
ment and in favor of monarchy.

a DEFENSE.

The speech of Editer Stead in Chi
cago has been source of considerable
comment in all portions of the country
because the language was applicable to
many classes in this country. In
speaking of the offensive words the
Chicago Inter Ocean In fairand manly
criticism says:
SIT is understood that their mean
ing was that rich and selfish wo-
men who refuse to take any interest
in the relief of human suffering have
no higher standing in the forum of
conscience than is assignable to ont
casts from society. A much greater
than Mr.. Stead proclaimed nearly two
thousand years ago: For I sag a,n-
to you that the pasblicans and the har-
lots shall enter the kingdom of heaven
before these Among these we're
people of high reputation. Much de-
pends upon who speaks and upon the
spirit in which words are spoken.
"There is no doubt that selfshDess,
heartlessness, and pride are cardinal
sins. There is no doubt that they are
the sins that breod most of the misery
of the world. There is no doubt that
the Redeemer said of an unspeakably
fallen woman: Much shall be for
given to her, because she has loved
much There is no doubt that he bade
another such to go in peace and sin
no more Nor is their any doubt that
the fercest of his denunciations were
hurled against the respectfully selfish.
The Man of Nazareth manifested
much pity toward the passionately
wicked, but had no word of consola-
tion for the coldly selfish.
"It is needless to say that Mr.. Stead
has neither cause nor power to speak
as the Chris. spoke; but every refor-
mer has cause and power to speak Ia
the Christian spirit; spirit, we beg
leave to say, that must at some time be
as severe as at other times it is gentle.
Upon the imperfect information in our
reach we are inclined to believe that
Mr.. Stead spoke inaecitiously rather
than maliciously. Moreover, he is an
Englishman, and our English cousins

a DEATH BLOW.

The Wilson bill, if passed by con-
gress, will kill many productive indus
tries in the north vest, an1 the de vel
opment of this portion of the country
will be retarded very much. In East
ern Oregon sheep raising will not be
remunerative. The coel mines of
Western Washington will be closed
down, and those engaged in this indus
try must go elsewhere. In the letter
of Col. Lang, which was published in
the TINES MoUNTAINEER a few days
ago, the loss is given TO flock masters
this season by reason of the trepida-
ton regarding the tariff, and if wool
is put on the free list it will be much
worse. From the columns of the
Walla Walla Union Journal, we learn
the following regarding free coal:
sc. J. Smith, general manager of
the Oregon Improvement Co., presents
in a forclble manner, the effect that
Prof. Wilson's tariff system will have
upon our state. Taking the case Of
King county, he shows that 34l 900
tons produced last year in that county
were shipped to outside Pacific coast
points, while 10000 tons were con-
sumed at home. Now, in the first
place, if the mines stood the COM
petition of foreign markets and con-
tinued in operation after the removal
of the duty, it would result in re-
duction of IS cents per ton in the
selling price. Even if the mines were
operated without profit at least 80
cents per ton would be taken out of
the wages of labor, cost Of transporta-
tion, etc, meaning reduction of not
less than 20 per cent. The loss of 10 cts.
per ton would amount to 1868, 900,
against which there would be saving
of IS cents per ton on the 10000
tons used at home, leaving net loss
of s27O,5O0.
"In the event of the closing of the
mines of that county the result would
be much more disastrous. The county
would Close the 81, ,239,5O0 which its
coal now brings, and in addition have
to pay $4l2,5oo for the coal used in
home consumption, making a total
loss of 1875, 900 in one of the four
heavy coal producing counties of the
state"
But wool and coal are not the only
productions which will be directly af-
fected by the passage of this Demo-
cratic measure. The immense forests
of this region would be rendered al
most worthless, because our ports
would be opened to the timber of
British Columbia. 1t is true the lum.
Der manufacturer, uuder this bill, is
still protected; hut he who fells the
trees must work for minimum wages or
do something else.
The revenue derived from these
sources in Oregon and Washington are
almost incalcula BILE, and when the
Democratic party aims its poisoned
shaft Of free trade at them, it is strik-
ing deadly blow at the growth and
prosperity of this part of the United
States, which has developed wonder
fully under the fostering care of the
national policy.
