Gloom In Eastern washington.
Pomeroy washingtonian.

IoheToy WdSnlnStonldn.
The defeat In the state senate of the
Helm bill has cast a gloom over the
whole OF Eastern Washington The
chains that bind the toiling and debt
ridden farmer In servitude to the rail-
ways are seemingly riveted tighter than
ever. The bill having passed the house
with SO large a majority and then being
beaten in the senate shows plainly
enough that senators were bought. No
other conclusion can be reached. The
railroad people could not afford TO buy
the representatives, or attempt it
there were too many of them. There is
no doubt that some of the senator's re-
ceived a good big wad OF blood money
Tor betraying the peoples interests; blood
money. We say. for it represents the
sweat and toll of unpaid labor, the food
and clothing of oppressed farmers wives
and children. 1t Is burning shame, and
the people feel II keenly. There ought to
be some way OF melting out punishment
to any senator who viii betray the in
terests of suffering and oppressed con-
sutuency. Compared TO such Judases,
the ordinary burglar or horse-thief is a
gentleman, and IL the guilty parties could
be ferreted out the people would be justi-
ned In hanging them to the most con-
yenient tree or telegraph pole 1t now
looks like the farmers would have to go
on paying tribute to the railroads at the
rate of from 50 TO s. per acre for the
privilege of cultivating their farms to
raise money TO pay interest on their
mortgages.
This last turn In the legislature will
embolden the railroads In their cutthroat
policy and they will raise the freight on
merchandise. They have already done so,
and we may expect any time another
turn Will be given to the screws to grind
us harder than ever. The worst of 1t Is
that III does not seem TO be n party mat
ter. 1t appears just as easy for the rail-
roads TO buy men of one party as an
other Every man, when sent to the
. state senate, should be publicly sworn to
vote for measures OF relief to the people,
and III he fails TO do so. he should be
promptly hung on his return home.

1t is unfortunate that Secretary Herbert

than two men-of-war at the formal opening
of the North Sea Canal, in which Germany
has just invited this country to participate.
When one remembers the magnificent rep
reservations of foreign nations at the naval
review which preceded the worlds fair,
this paltry fleet of two vessels will seem
inadequate. 1t may be that through the

number, but even this can hardly be re-
