AT Rehoboth the occasion was rendered
more interesting by some recitations from the
Juvenile Missionary Society, during which
they handed over TO the treasurer over thirty
dollars for foreign missions. Too much
praise cannot be given TO the wife of the pas

takes In the children OF th Q ch urch and neigh

The history OF the past two years need
not bring shame or fear to democrats.
The credit OF the country has been pre-
served, its honor maintained, and. amid
the wreck and ruin brought on by long
period of needless speculation and COVER
mental extravaganza, the public interest
have been we'll guarded. -Snohomish
Democrat.
The willy Chinaman is viewingthe land
scape over to find rich gardening facilities
where he may extend his already large
possessions. And in this connection, we
might ask, where is the poor white gar
dener and what is he doing. Ten to one
he is talking Populism on the street cor
ners while the cooley is growing rich.-
Washington Standard.
After the people OF the West sit down
on the Populists this fall, as theyarc sure
to do, money will once more seek invest
ment out here. There is plenty OF it, but
it is not going to come out while the co'in-
try is threatened with the insane theories
of this party. Calamity bowling in the
West has had more to do with the hard
times than any other one thing, and as
shown in the Oregon election the people
are getting tired OF it.-Amercan Invest
ments.
Tie republicans never were so lucky as
in sustaining defeat at the last election.
They escaped from power at the very mo-
ment when the natural result OF their own
policies and practices, and OF the national
sin OF wild speculation, was ready to
fall as an attlction upon the people. But
their ready and hypocritical cry that the
democrats are responsible for the hard
times will not deceive sensible men per-
manently. Election day will show that
the people are not SO easily fooled, but
recognize in democratic control the con-
servative, middle ground OF safety from
evils OF both plutocracy and mobocracy.-
Snohomish Democrat.
The Popu!st leaders in Mason County
have decided to withdraw their call for
a mass convention to nominate u ticket,
believing that they can best subserve
their principles OF economy by joining
forces with the element OF the other
parties in opposition to the 'rings.'
Success can only come from united and
systematic effort, if divided, the people
will lind it the same old story, "in the
tureen," while the combination retains
its power. The populists have little to
hope for in an Independent ticket, but
they can act in harmony with the bet
ter element OF their old parties, if they
will and do power OF good.-Mason
County Journal.

REPUBLICAN DISCORD.

The feicitation OF the Bulletin over the
harmony in the Republican party OF this
city is we'll answered by communication
in the same issue, from one who signs
himself An Independent Republican, and
who says ''1t appears that the self-styled
leaders OF the party are all at loggerheads,
and instead of looking after the interests
OF the party as whole are scheming
around for their own and their friends
selfish ends. 1t seems to me strange that
in a city OF this size the 100 or SO Repub-
lican voters cannot pull together AMIGA
bly,"
These fluctuations were further and
emphatically answered last night at the
meeting OF the Republican club when one
OF the members arose and said, 81 wish
to say that have been Republican for
many years, and that my father was a
Republican as long as l can remember,
but am going to predict that unless a
few of the ring politicians has less to do
in the Republican club OF this city, that
the Republicans will get SO badly left
this fall they will wonder where they are
at" Oh, yes, there is harmony in the
Republican party, but the music that we
hear is full OF discordant notes, and the
cry of "little ring politicians that is
heard on the outside is but the echo from
within the camp. We said there would
be music bye and bye the bye and bye
has now arrived.
