Nothing in the Jackpot.

Several years ago, in an "of' year,"
the democrats had a regular landslide.
They carried nearly every city in the
whole country and the democratic
boys thought that it would be a good
thing to call upon Bob Ingersoll and
see what reason he could give for the
phenomenal change. After serenad-
ing him for. a few minutes, the great
orator presented himself and asked
the cause of all the merriment. When
told that everything from Maine to
Texas had gone democratic, he scratch
ed his head and good naturedly said :
My God, what a hand you fellows do
hold when there is nothing in the
jackpot" This year the Jackpot"
means more than a simple winning to
the republicans-the expression of an
outraged people.

lkWhy Congress Should Adjourn.


sFirst, Congress is doing the countr,
no good, but ON the other hand is do
ing serious and prolonged harm by keep.
ing industry and commerce under 8
cloud of doubt. There can be no ma
terial improvement in the industrial
and commercial condition of the coun-
try until threatened tariff legislation is
either dropped or enacted. AS long az
uncertainty prevails capital will not
be invested, stocks will not be pur-
chased in large quantities, goods will
not be produced beyond immediate
needs, contracts will not be made ex
cept for immediate fulfllment, and in
short. there will be nothing beyond a
hand-to-mouth business il all COM
mercial, financial and industrial fields.
Instead of nearing the end of the tariff
contest, fourth bill has row been in.
jected into the muddle, with the pros
pect that no bill will be passed and
made law this summer.
Second, the bill which the senate
presents will be of no relief if enacted
into law. The masses of the people
will find no relief from tariff taxation
in a law wich levies upon them a SUI
gar tax of $5O,OOO,0OO. The people
prefer free sugar. There is no relief il.
the Wilson bill for manufacturers.
There is no relief to agricultural pro
ducers in the proposition to repeal re-
ciprocity and abrogate the treaties
with the 15 reciprocproclty, counties.
Instead of repeal reciprocity, both
farms and factories want an ex-
tended reciprocity with nations to the
north and east.
Third, and finally, congress is simp-
ly a mecca for an outpouring of Coxey-
ties who look upon the present con-
gress, not unnaturally, as an aggrega-
ton of kindred spirits who are ready
to take up with any fool measure
which offers. From half of the states
of the Union Coxey crews, by compa-
nies and brigades, on foot and on
stolen trains, by canal and by wagon
and horseback, are pushing On to
Washington. There is just one way
for congress to stop this movement in
it's tracks, and that is to adjourn. The
day congress adjourns every Coxey
army in the United States will dis;
band and go to helping the farmers
put in their crops. Such consum-
nation is the most supreme of which
the present congress is capable.-Min-
neapolis Tribune.

Cut i'm Two.

The Pioneer Press, always abreast of
the times, has reduced it's subscription
rates just one-half. The new rate on
Daily and Sunday editions is but SOC.
per month, $500 per annum, in ad-
vance; for the Daily, without Sunday,
4Oc. per month, $500 per annum, in
advance; Sunday only, $1.5O per an
mum, in advance, SOC. for three
months. The Pioneer Press is now
the cheapest metropolitan newspaper
in the country. Its high standard
will be thoroughly maintained, and,
in view of the largely increased circu-
lation which it will most assuredly
have, it has entered into arrangements
to even greatly improve the paper.
Everyone can now afford to have a
daily paper, as it costs but cent and
fraction per day. All orders should
be addressed to the PIONEER PRESS, st.

Fy.CaSting Records.

San Francisco, May 5.-In the fly
casting tournament to-day the first
medal was won by Oliver r. Flint. He
cast fly 81 feet, six feet more than
any other competitor. Henry Skin
ner was next best with IS feet. Capt.
George Cumming and Harry Babcock
tied for third place at II feet, which
the latter subsequently won with a
cast of 70 feet to Captain Cummings
81 feet. Henry Skinner won the Sec
ond event, which was for accuracy
and distance combined. His percen-
tage was 93.5. Flint was next with an
average of II, Babcock third with
69.5, Col. Edwards fourth with 62 and
Captain Cummings made percentage
of As. The third event was casting
for distance, accuracy and delicacy
with light rods. So far as accuracy
was concerned AL Cummings was
easily the winner. Theazcas were
made to two buoys moored 35 and 45
feet away from the platform on which
the contestants stood. Cumming
was fortunate in casting at time
when there was very little wind and
eight times out of ten laid his line
across the further buoy and nine
times across the near one. But in the
delicacy of his casting he was not so
fortunate and finished with an aver
age of 6S.4. Col. Edwards was next
with 62.5, Henry Skinner third with
1915 and H. Battu fourth with 46.7.
The fourth event, casting with salmon
tackle for distance was won by old
John Benn. He sent the salmon fly
$50 feet away from the stage. AL.
Cumming, who never handled sal
mon rod in his life before, made 81
feet. and Col. Edwards, who was quite
as much of novice, made 70 feet.
In the contest for distance and ac-
curacy there were but two entries,
A. o. Ayers of Connecticut, who at
prcsent holds the worlds record of
something like $50 feet. and President
Strell of the Chicago fly casting club.
Ayers won with an average cast of
81 feet s inches, Strell's average was
50 feet 8 inches, but he cast with one
hand while Ayers used both. The lon
gest throw of each man was the same,
l2O feet. Col. Edwards was the only
man who participated in four fly
casting events, and the first prize a
Leonard rod, went to him. The prizes
in each event were gold medals, and
the others consisted of rods, reels,
zines, etc.

SHELTON. MASON COUNTY, FRIDAY MAY H. 1884,
To Fight for the Fees.

Lincoln county has sensation
coming. Before it is ended Stevens
county and Whitman county may be
enjoying the same kind of excitement.
There is row among the county Off
GERS and question whether some of
them have not been quietly pocketing
funds that belonged to the public
treasury. If so the county proposes
to recover the cash or 60 broke trying.
c. II. Neal of Sprague, prosecuting
attorney for Lincoln county, was in
town yesterday looking up land office
records. 1t seems the clerks of Lin
coin county and some other counties
have always been in the habit of keep
ing the fees paid in for taking land
notices for settlers and forwarding the
papers to Spokane. Mr.. Neal says
this money belongs to the county un-
der the law which requires officers to
turn all fees into the public treasury,
and he proposes to recover it.
Accordingly he has secured list of
all the land papers filed by County
Clerk j. B. Gray during the past year.
There are twenty eight cases besides
several timber culture proofs that will
bring the whole number to about
forty. The next work is to find out
how much Clerk Grey has been charg-
ing ior these papers. So nearly as
can be learned the fee has been $500
for each application, $3.50 for making
out final proof papers, and from $500
up for taking proofs, etc. For the
papers in contest cases he was at
liberty to charge as much as he pleas
ed.
But even if the total amount reach
es $1,000, that is only the beginning of
SORROWS if the money really belongs

torney Neal says he means to begin

who have been holding back fees.
The Adams county clerk has always
turned such fees over to the treasury.
In Stevens and Whitman counties, it
is said, the clerks have always held
that the fees belonged to them. A
most interesting lawsuit is conse-
