thirteen inches from wrist to finger

inch longer than his hands, and the
head is twelve inches long. Hasan

THE COMING CROP.
a Great Demand for Washington
Fruit Will Result From Ruin OF
Eastern Orchards.

w. S. Norman, a resident OF Spo-
kane, who has been East, informs the
Chronicley that there is large pros
pective demand for fruit from this
State.
He says, "After looking into the
matter thoroughly I have returned to
Spokane with the conviction that one
of our chief sources of wealth lies in
the production OF fruits for the eastern
markets.
"All along the Atlantic seaboard
the orchards that have been supplying
the markets OF Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and other eastern cities
are dying. The trees are mildewed
and the fruit has lost its flavor, and it
is only question of little while be-
fore they will cease bearing altogether.
1t is noticeable fact, too, that no
new orchards are being planted, to
take the place Of those that are fast
dying, and the old fruit lands are be-
ing converted into meadows and corn
fields.
al took particular pains. also, to
learn the reputation OF Washington
fruit in the eastern markets. found
it to be first-class, and slso that the
dealers are beginning to look to the
west for their supplies of fruits.
"There is no reason why Washing
ton could not largely supply the
eastern markets. 1t has been DEM
onstrated that Washington is one of
the best fruit growing Statos in the
Union and there are thousands of
acres yet to be planted in orchards.
"There is one thing that Eastern
fruit dealers desire above all things,
that is that the fruit be packed we'll
and honestly, and that proper care be
taken in the shipping. At present
the Washington fruitgrowers have a
good reputation along this line and it
is of very great Importance that that
reputation be maintained. As long
as the commission men in Chicago
and other shipping points have conf.
dence in the fruit that is shipped
them and find that they get it when
ever they want it, and in such quanti-
ties as they may demand, they will
buy all our fruit and be glad to get it.
"There is no danger of the market
for choice fruit becoming overstocked
Every year the consumption increases.
More people eat fruit, and they can
not begin to produce the supply in the
Eastern States"

TIE THREE JEREMIAHS.

The Seattle Telegraph thus pun.
gently punctures the expidermis of
the three prominent Republicans who
are parading with their rods erect to
catch political lightning:
Ex-President Harrison, ex-Speaker
Reed and Governor Mckinley are
going around the country wailing
over the awful outlook. The peculiar
feature OF the case is that each Of
them thinks the remedy is to elect
him president. We do not know that
the country ever saw anything just
like this. The business world is re-
gaining new life and courage; the
volume OF trade is expanding; the
clearing house returns show a return
ing confidence; every business man ia
hopeful; but these three presidential
candidates are touring around preach
ing the most doleful jeremiahs con.
ceivable. And the end, aim and OBJ
ject of the mission of each is to con-
vince the people that he is the man
who ought to be made President. The
spec tacle is not calculated to make
ones respect for popular institutions
become much stronger. Indeed it is
not to much to cay that their course
is indecent. They are misrepresent'
ing the true condition of the country
and retarding the return of good times
simply in order that they may be
nominated for tho presidency in 1896

lected nothing, but drew salary Of
$500 for doing it.
At Beaufort, n. c., they collected
nothing, and drew salary of $1,134
for doing it.
AT Beaufort, S. c., the Office holders
determined to make the North Caro-
lima towns ashamed of herself.
So they collected 81 800 and charged
the "poor down-trodden taxpayer"
$1,000 for doing it,
Their charges to the taxpayers
footed-up $1,000.
At Vicksburg, Miss, the weary Of
flee holder had to collect ".
The weary taxpayer paid him 1898
for doing so.
Comment upon such a state of
things would only weaken the force OF
the facts.
1t it safe to say that of the 81 ,000,-
600 now paid every year to collect the
tariff taxes, at least $2yOOO,OOO are alb.

THE ATTITUDE OF THE ROMAN

Towards Public Schools Defined by

school system The U. s. Constitu-
tiOn Upheld.
Father Malone, editor of the Colo.
rddo Catholic, lectured in Denver, at
the Tabor Grand, on Sunday evening.
A large audience was in attendance.
Before commencing his lecture Father
Malone received the following note
from some one i'll the audience: "Dare
you, as a Catholic priest, publicly in
your lecture say that Roman Catholics
do not owe fealty to foreign poten.
tate? Also, dare you say that the
Catholic church is not opposed to the
public schools?"
In reply Father Malone said: "Let
us see, now, what foundation there is
for this charge that we are disloyal to
the civil institutions of the country.
The charge that we are enemies to the
public school system is delusion and
a snare; the charge that we owe SUI
preme allegiance to foreign potentate
is equally false. These charges serve
an unholy purpose. and give to the
fanatic an imaginary justification for
violating the constitution in regard to
portion of the citizens. To those
who so charge, this is my answer:
Not only are Catholics not ene-
mics of our public schools, but we
hold, Notwithstanding the personal
opinions of isolated individuals, that
Tie public seheel system must and
shall be maintained. Not alone that,
but should the day ever come, which
God avert, when the school system OF
America would be attacked, Catholics
will be the first to the rescue. To
the charge so current nowadays,
that We owe allegiance to foreign
power, this is my answer: In spirit
usl matters and matters of faith and
morals, We give allegiance to our
church. but in civil affairs we neither
owe nor do We give allegiance to any
thing outside the constitution of the
United States, nor to any one not q
duly elected officer of this govern
ment. Should condition arise,
which is an absurd assumption, when
the Pope OF Rome should issue an
edict in conflict with the constitution
Of the United States, we would refuse
to obey the Pope and we would up
hold the constitution. In the words
OF O'Connell, we take our religion
from Rome, but our politics from our
Selves"

The Gallery Gods, Appla use.

Shitaso heSoIus
Lawrence Barrett once told me OF q
he had with Edwin
Booth. The latter had been congrat.
ulated upon an ovation given him by a
crowded house ON the opening night
of an engagement. "The sweetest
music to my ears" said the great
tragedian, ais the shouting of the
boys in the gallery. l know they are
not applauding because have u repu-
tation or because they wish to make a
display. They simply give vent to
their natural enthusiasm. When they
shout, l know that am giving a good
performance. As for the parquet,
may clap its hands out of politeness.
A dramatic critic who had certain no.
tions as to how line should be read
will applaud if l read it his way
otherwise he will remain quiet. l can
never analyze the applause of the
front rows, but the gallery is sincere
in its likes or dislikes."

81 200 per year.
How much duty do they collect2
One hundred and twenty-five dol

At Cherrystone, Va, the custom

How much do they collect,
Not one cent?
What on earth those Office holders

In West Virginia, the entire custom

The modest sum is gathered into
the treasury, painfully and conscien-
tiously at moder ate annual cost OF
$1.159.
In Florida the farce grows even
merrier.
At Apalachicols they collect 81 900

At Annapolis, Nd, they spent in

In 1891, however, business was brisk

In Saquina, Ore, they spent ST. 100

to he Democratic. The Republicans
profess to arrive at the conclusion
from presumptive evidence that their
Congressional ticket at least is GER
tain of success. They talk about re-
viving the Republican party and OF
results this fall which will materially
change the political complexion OF
the federal Congress. But the proba-
bility is that they are entirely mis-

The occasion is certainly auspicious

ADDRESS OF T. N. ALLEN.
His Claims for support for Su.
preme Judge.

A Modest, Dignified Statement of
His Claims for support for SUI
Preme Judge.
Mr.. Allen has sent out the following
address to the voters OF the State
Aside from the fact that it is impos-
sible on the limited time afforded to
make thorough canvass, the nature
OF the office sought precludes the ne
cessity for a personal canvass. The
issues to be discussed on the forum
are of political nature as viewed
from partisan standpoint, and the
candidates for the judiciary should be
exempt from a duty that is imperative
in others whose mission it is to ad-
vance certain principles through party
means. Mr.. Allen says:
"When / determined to accept the
nomination for Judge Of the Supreme
Court which the Democratic conven-
ton at Yakima made, it was and still
is, my earnest desire to go over the
State in a quiet way and meet and
get acquainted with people whom /
have had no opportunity, heretofore,
to know; but find that in all proba
bility it will be impossible for me to
do so, and l therefore propose, in the
briefest way. to say through the public
press what l think l can with pro-
priety say and ought to say in respect
to the November election. When 1
was a young man l read law in the
office and received instruction from
James B. Beck, subsequently con-
gresham from the Ashland district in
Kentucky and then United States
Senator from that State. l stood my
examination for license to practice

Court of Appeals of Kentucky, was
duly licensed by that court, end for
thirty years / have been in the active
practice of my profession, the last five
of which have passed since l became
u member of the Thurston county
bar. 1 shall say nothing of my eharac-
ter or capacity. A man can add to
neither OF these by any words of self.
commentator. will only say that
so far as know, l have, and trust /
deserve to have, the confidence and
respect of my brother lawyers and Of
the people generally to whom l am
known. We all recognize the fact
that courageous and honest judici-
ary is absolutely essential to the exist.
ence and stability OF good government
As a citizen of the State, 1 am inter.
ested equally with you in the admin
istration Of justice and in the charac.
ter and ability of our judges, and ]
may be permitted, therefore, to ex'
press the wish that whatever you dc
in November, the result will receive
the approval of your unbiased judg.
ment. Respectfully,
T. N. ALLEN.
