From G. E. Camp who returned on
Monday from an extended trip to
Washington state, we learn he is very
much pleased with the Yakima
country and delighted with the
climate. He left Mr.. Dumble" staked
out to a sage brush" SO he says, and
at any rate Dumble has driven his
stakes, as he has opened up in the
hardware business, and decided to
remain there. Mr.. Camp expects to
return to Sunnyside, but not inn
mediately, probably not before next
fall.

The weather record for the past
week has been very unusual one, ex-
cessively hot for the season and &C
companied by high south winds
Sunday and Monday were oppres-
sively warm and the effect on the crop
conditions was unfavorable, as the
wind swept new fields and the heat
baked the ground on which the new
growing crops had started. A rain
wind and hail storm, late Monday
evening, improved conditions some
what, but the heat continues. Gen
orally speaking, the condition is fair
for crops.

We learn that there were 40 names
on the list for baptism by immersion
at Artichoke lake, last Sabbath, as the
result of the labors of a Swedish re-
vivalist. A party of three from Nor
ris went out to the lake Sunday and
witnessed the spectacle. There was
an immense concourse of onlookers,
impelled principally by curiosity,
assembled at the place selected for
the immersion, the number being
estimated at five hundred. The re-
vivalist was named Kanute Nelson
and he hailed from Ottertail county

financial aid in order to purchase an

Fears of another strike on the Great
Northern are now at an end, as the
disputes are settled. The question
on which there was a disagreement,
was resubmitted to the board of ar
bitration and they decided that, &C
cording to the terms of the original
agreement, the strikers arrested
should be re-instated, pending the de-
cision of the courts, as to whether they
had maliciously destroyed or injured
the company's property.

The attendance at the meeting of
the county alliance last Saturday
afternoon was very small, doubtless
owing to many of the members being
at home completing their spring
work. An interesting and instructive
paper was read by S, B. Smith, on de-
versifed farming, and an informal
discussion followed. Several present
gave their experience on various lines
of diyersifcation and the information
was valuable, because it was the re-
suit of practical efforts.

Florence, the actor, once gave some
advice to friend in these words: Zone
gallon of whisky costs the barkeeper
about So and contains about Go 15 cent
drinks (or 80. rs worth of drams). Now,
if you must drink, buy gallon and
make your wife barkeeper. When you
are dry, give her Is cents for a drink,
and when the whisky is gone she will
have, after paying for it, SO. 75 left, and
every gallon thereafter will yield the
some profit This money she should put
away, so that when you become an in
ebriate, unable to support yourself, and
Stunned by every respectable man, your
wife may have enough money to keep
you until your time comes to fill a
drunkard's grave. In this way you
would keep over two-thirds of the money
spent for whisky in your family-that
is, if you must drink. "

CORRUPTION.
What IL Is That Makes Politics Rotten and
Corrupt Laws Possible.


Professor McCook of Trinity college
has made careful study of corruption
in politics. He secured the private lists
of voters as made out by the political
bosses in number Of counties in Con-
necticut. He had promised not to men,
ton any names and SO was shown these
lists by Republican and Democratic
politicians, ON which they had checked
off the voters who could be bought ON
election day. He made a careful and sci
entific study of the subject of bribery at
elections and published the results in a
New York magazine in September,
1892. Here is part of what he learned
from the confidential information given
him by the political bosses:
"It was constantly affirmed that in
temperance figured very largely in the
annals Of vote buying. Now, l am not
total abstainer either theoretically or
practically, and have always voted in
favor of license. 1t is needless to say
that do not belong to the Prohibition
party, but anybody who can see must
know that, considered merely as a ques-
tion of social economy, Of dollars and
cents, Of tax bills and public conven-
fence generally, the drink question is
the question of the day. The tariff
wrangle is mere baby to it. If intelli-
gent, steady going people could be in
duced to spend upon the drink question
fraction of the time and money they
employ upon the other, we might hope
for some real improvement i'll its treat
ment. Prominence is given, therefore, to
the temperance and intemperamce i'll
venality simply because the subject can
not be treated at all without giving that
prominence "
The saloons, according to this, are the
chief cause of the corruption in politics,
the buying and selling of votes, by
means of which INSCRIPTIONS political
BOSSES keep their control and continue
to plunder the public. Destroy the po-
litical power of the saloons, and we de-
stroy the mainstay of the political bosses.
