the Market.

The Hop Growers association meeting
OF Saturday last week, was, as usual, we'll
attended; hut no great amount of work
VAS accomplished. possibly because there
was little to do. II was decided that all
white and Indian pirkers employed by
the association should he given free tick
ets to the barbecue and horse races TO inn
nlediatey follow the fair. Other pickers
will be expected to pay for their admis.
sion.
The action at the last previous meeting
relative to non-payment OF dues was
again brought up, and the secretary WAS
! instructed to drop all delinquent men,
bers from the rolls OF the association upon
September /.
! All members have been or are being
given tickets printed in blank, which
will be distributed to the pickers who are
engaged by the association at the en-
! ployment bureaus on the Sound-those
80 engaged going directly to the yards of
association members Immediately upon
their arrival in this city,
Secretary Ross was informed by John
Dittentholler Of Tampico and the Wiley
Brothers OF the Ahtanum that early pick

gentlemen were in turn assured by the

plenty Of pickers for them.

NJ. ]. Meeker, of Puyallup. rushes into
print simply because he wants to be
heard from and doesn't care how, in the
following letter to the Ledger:
notice in your issue of August s, the
circular put out by Yakima hop growers,
hich is misleading in the extreme.
Whether Intentional ur not the effrct is
the same and is calculated to work a
great hardship to hop pi, kers. The Yak
una growers estimate then crop at l6O, 900
boxes, which is probably about correct.
They say that they want l2,UUl pickers,
and that the picking season will last six
weeks. One hundred ami sixty Thousand
boxes for 1900 plrkers Ia just thirteen
and One-haii boxes 10 each picker, and
tor six weeks season would allow each
picker little over box apiece every
three days, or. to put II in palmer form.
each picker would have chance to pick
little over one third OF IA hox day for
six weeks season. 1t is plain To be
seen that by allowing box day to
each picker that I2.U00 people would pick
their 10000 boxes in Just tritie over
two weeks.
Yakima probably needs about 5000 pick
ers. as that number wonld easily pick
their 100, % boxes in less than four weeks.
To induce such n crowd Of people to come
into that district wouli work great hard
ship To the hop pIckrrs and do Yakima
growers IA lasting damage.
Mr.. Meeker evidently wishes to give
Yakima black eye before the pickers of
the state, so that Pu' aliup--which has
derided to pay only 20 cents per box for
picking-can secure as many men as she
will need, Notwithstanding Yakima's
offer OF 81 per box.
Yakima did not contend that she want
ed 10000 outside pi kers, and Meeker
probably knew it when he rushed into
print. Yakima has few local experts
in this line and proposes to use them;
but Yakima also wants a sutficiency to
properly care for her large crop and she
advertised in manner that makes the
Puyallup growers green-eyei with envy.
Puyallup need not worry herself in APP
pointing committees Of one to figure up
our "wsnts" in the picker line. We will
care AID provide labor Tor al! who wish
to come during the season and we pay
81 per box for picking; II two bit advance

The COXcY Trial.

AS stated in the GAZETTE Of that
date the three leaders of the Common
veal, General Jacob Sleeher Coxey,
Marshal Carl Browne and Christopher
Columbus Jones, were yesterday in
Washington found guilty of violating
the laws by q Jury of their peers and
will have to submit to sentence here
after to be imposed by the court for
their recent demonstration on the Cap
itol grounds. All three of the accused
were convicted on the first count Of the
indictment, which charged them with
displaying banner designed to bring
into public notice the J. S. Coxey Good
Roads Association. Jones, Of Philadel-
phia, was acquitted of the second
count, which accused them of treading
on the grass, but Coxey and Browne
were convicted.
Two weeks may elapse, during which
the trio will be free on bail, before the
motion for new trial is argued and
decided. The penalty provided by law
is the same for each ofiense, viz: a
fine not to exceed 500 and imprison-
ment in Jail for not more than sixty
days, or both, within the discretion of
the court. Accordingly the maximum
punishment which may be meted out
to Coxey and Browne is 5000 and 40
days, while Christopher Columbus
Jones is subject 10 SlCO and sixty days.
By a curious congressional error in a
recent bill which reorganized the Dis
trict courts, there is no appellate court
to which police court case can be car
ried. The only method of appealing
from Judge Miller's sentence will be by
an application to higher court for
writs of habeas corpus and certiorari.
Attorney Lipscomb has announced that
he will take this step if Judge Miller
overrules the motion for new trial.
However, such petition will not oper-
ate as stay ofjudgment TO keep the
defendants from serving their sentences
while it is pending.

entirely unfit for human habitation,

to avoid possible epidemic of diseases
to the people of the surrounding neigh

of the whole District. 1t is q menace

THERE is nothing, except their own
dissemination, that prevents federal eX-
ecutive officers from removing their
subordinates. The courts have so de-
cided for years, and only q week ago a
similar decision was rendered by a re-
publican Judge in Washington. Few
deny that democratic officer can re-
move an Objectionable democratic sub
ordinate, aud the reason why he can
not do the same with one who is q re-
publican, cannot be found in the Con-
stitution or laws of the country. How
can any government be honestly and
efficiently conducted if its employees
be independent of their superior Off
GERS? and how can the latter be held re-
sponsibe for the management of their
offices if the duties thereof must be en-
trusted to Objectionable clerks Repub-
lican officers found no difficulty in re-
moving democratic subordinates, and
