sketch Of the Life OF a Former Rest
dent Of Ilwaco.

The Pacific Journal contains the fol-
lowing biographical sketch Of the life
Of the late Frank s. Bates, who arrived
in this city nearly twenty years ago,
and whose death recently occurred in
uwaco;
Frank S. Bates, whose remains were
inferred in our cemetery last week was
an old resident OF Ilwaco. He was a
native Of Boston, and has several veal
thy relatives still residing there. He
was born in 1s47. consequently was in
his 47th year AS a young man he
chose a sailors life, and for number
Of years followed the sea. Arriving in
Astoria as second officer on one of Bates
Bros. Of Boston. vessels in 1876, he
left the sea-faring life, and shortly az
terwards located on his side Of the
river, where he resided until his death.
His has been q checkered life, his
greatest enemy, himself, 'let him who
is without sin, cast the first stone"
Acts speak louder than words, and dur
ing his residence here many an act that
Frank has done showed that however
rough the exterior; Christian heart
still beat within. Was any sick or in
distress, he was among the first to ex-
tend his aid and sympathy. Was a
watch needed for the dead, his services
were never refused, and was any char
liable work on hand, he was ready as
far as his circumstances would permit,
and we have never heard Of an instance
wherein he wilfully injured any man.
His family affairs are matters with
which the public have no business to
inquire into. so long as the moral law
and the laws Of our country are not in
fringed. Frank had an education be-
yond the average, and at one time was
regular correspondent from this Sec
ton OF the country to eastern papers.
The funeral services were held at the
Advent church, Rev. Howerton ofiici-
lting. and large number Of citizens
attended, and followed the remains to
their last resting place.

A DARING OUTLAW.

Herewith is q likeness Of Chris Evans
one Of the most daring outlaws OF the
west who recently escaped from the
Fresno, Cal jail, by means of re-
volvers which were smuggled to him by
his wife and q waiter. He was serving
life sentence for murder. train rob-
berry and other crimes. For some years
he has been at the head of a gang of
bandits who roamed through the noun
tadns and valleys of the Golden State
committing depredations of all kinds,
The most daring exploit took place in
August of 1892, when three Of the gang
boarded an express train, blew open
the express car and after seriously
wounding the messenger, escaped with
three sacks of gold coin, 1t took nine
months to arrest Evans. and many men
were killed in the attempt When cap

THE WOMAN AND THE MAN.

The defense in the Pollard Breckin-
ridge case is practically all in and now
will come the battle of the
giants in the shape of the argu-
ments of opposing counsel. The
public has been forced TO listen TO the
recital Of story of filth and degrada-
tion. of indecency and shameless dis
regard for all that is pure
and honest and clean in life.
1t has been made the confidant Of the
complaints Of an impure and wicked
woman and the defense of an equally
impure and wicked man. The woman
seeks not vindication but revenge,
and the man is trying TO
escape the penalty of his grossly
indecent life by pleading that
exces ses can be excused i'm man which
perpetually damn u woman. He was
good enough to take in marriage pure
woman after insulting his other
wives by his fragrant immortality,
but Miss Pollard, the woman with
whom he sinned, was too immoral to
bear the honored name of wife. 1t is
the old cry, the most unjust
and brutal that the world
has ever given utterance to, but
unfortunately woman herself is to
blame. The fallen woman finds neither
pity nor charity, but the equally guilty
man is welcomed into the home circle,
cultivated and honored even by wives
and mothers.
There is i..deed one law for the Medes
and one for the Persians, one law for
man, the other for woman, and this
trial brings the fact home to every one.

Their Little CuCs.

Part of the daily duty Of one of the girls
in Park row dairy" restaurant consists
in removing from the under side of the
edges Of the tables the chewing gum which
has been stuck there by customers. 1t
takes the girl full hour to accomplish
this every morning, and she has 10 work
hard and exercise considerable strength, as
the chewing gum hardens and sticks tena-
ciously to the tables She removes it with
knife. In any of the cheaper grade Of
restaurants the tables are decorated on
their under sides in the same way. 1t is
the men who practice this peculiar habit,
and it goes to show how many of them
use chewing gum.--New York Sun.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
Message of Encouragement.
N. Y. Press.

To the Republicans who confront Bourbon
higotry, ignorance and hostility in the Senate
chamber the voice of Rhode Island comes as
"a message of encouragement straight from
the hcarths, the mills and the farms of the
North. IL is mandate from the people
TO the representatives of the people
repeating the Instructions which have been
registered at the ballot boxes of every North
ern State which has voted since the Wilson
bill has been an issue. II is
proof. positive and unanswerablc, that The
people are behind the Senators who are fight
ing the Wilson bill IL is another order from
the sovereign voters OF the nation, com
manding Spartan resistance and unyield-
ing obstruction TO that abomination IL
IS another warning that political destruc-
ton awaits every Northern senator who
defes the peoples mandate ami asssails their
dearest interests by voting To tear down the
bulkwark OF protection. The American peo-
pie demand that the Wilson bill shall be
killed. Let the Senators from the North obey
that demand.

TO assume arrogant demeanor and impels
them on to making ridiculous aud un-
warranted demands it will prove curse
not blessing, Labor's recognition de-
pends more on the growth OF public
opinion than upon legal decisions. and
public opinion is to be gained by
an honorable and conservative manage
ment of labor organizations and not
by the temporary numerical strength of
the organization. Wise and conservative
leadership we'll followed is all that is re-
quired to give to labor its proper place
in the world.
1t must also be remembered that the
opinion can cut both ways: ''The action
of both is lawful when no illegal or
criminal means are used or threatened" !"
There are responsibilities attached TO
organized labor, and when, as body, fan
organization passes the limit prescribed
by law, that moment its acts become
illegal. and its members are separately
and jointly responsible and equally
liable.
There are many points which could
be discussed regarding this decision, but
the most important one and the one at
present under discussion is the recogni-
ton Of labor organizations as body
similar TO and subject to the
same powers and rights as
an organization of capitalists. This
position SO manfully and justly
taken by Judge Caldwell places at rest
and forever all legal question of this
right and settles one of the most inter
esting disputes between labor and capital
that the century has witnessed.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Judge Caldwell Of the United States
Circuit Court handed down decision
yesterday ia the Union Pacific wage
schedule contest that is of far-reaching
Importance especially in relation to the
railroads Of the United States. IL def
nitely fixes the legal status Of organized
labor. and officially recognizes not only
the existence of labor organizations, but
their right to exist, aud to lie
considered as organizations. Upon this
point his opinion says: "a corpora
iion is organized capital; it is capital
consisting of money and property
organized labor is organized capital
il is capital consisting of brain and mus
Gle. What is lawful for the one TO do,
is lawful for the other to do. II is law
ful for the stockholders and officers of a
corporation to associate and confer to-
fether for the purpose OF reducing the
wages of its employees or Of the devils
ing Of some other means of max
ing their investments profitable;
IL is equally lawful for or
ganized labor TO associate, consult and
confer with view 10 maintain or in
crease wages Both act from the
prompting of enlightened selfishness.
AMI the action of both is lawful when
noillegal or criminal means are used
or ihreatened.'
His opinion was not beclouded with a
mass u legal verbiage. but was plain,
straightforward and right 20 the point.
A. the Judge himself expressed it: 81
wanted it to he so plain that even the
D~iiest man in the land could UNDER
stnud every word of IT,"
Labor has a. much right 20 organize
~ capital aud that right Is now for the
fint time iuily conceded by decision
of the United States court. It places

explains the position Of the "only Repub-
lican newspaper in the Republican capital
OF a Republican State" as The NEWS used
to be fond OF clubbing itself.
Providence is poor newspaper town.
IL has population OF rising 100, 900, with
suburbs within three or four miles of the
city hall that raise the figures to not less
than 100000. This large population reads
but comparatively few Providence news
papers. The total output of the daily
press here does not exceed 10000 morning
papers and s0,0Oo evening papers, and
these spread over the entire State, South
eastern Massachusetts, and Eastern Con-
necticut. Probably not above 10000
Providence papers, morning and evening,
are sold in the city and its suburbs
1000 or 5000 morning issues, and 1000 or
24,00J evening sheets. This Is liberal
estimate. 1t would not be indorsed by
the great advertising agencies.
Another cause for the GOODNESS OF the
public toward the newspapers of the Re-
publican persuasion in politics is the var
ious attempts that have been made 10 es-
tablish a party organ, all OF which have
failed. Every failure has been due to
lack of nerve and intelligence on
the part of the political back
ers, not 10 lack OF ability ON the part of
the managers. The usual method has been
to get the paper started upon promises oil
support, and then default tho .,-omises.
The new venture would come out with
the party brand fixed upon 1t. warning
Independents, Democrats, and all but Re-
publicans away from it, soon to find that
1t had no Republican support. There are
even now rumors that THE NEWS is ex-
periencing, for the third time, this sort
of party support, but / do not know
whether the rumor is true or not.
The moral is, of course, the same here
as everywhere: IL newspapers will tie
themselves to the tail of Feiieai parties,
and dragged in the mud. The cause
for the limited circulation and restricted
business prosperity of theRepublican paper
here is simply that it is Republican for
revenue rather than for principles; and
every man. woman and child in the State
knows it full well, and always discounts
the paper. That Is the story of the news
paper situation here. GEORGE FRENCH

They knew that its triumph in yesterdays

not be done with their consent. The result is
