Tacoma in Tribulation.

Tacoma's nose appears to be decid.
edly out OF joint, just now, owing to
the treatment she has received in the
new biographies. In the primary edi-
ton OF the official text book Tacoma
is not even mentioned, and in the
higher book she is assigned habitat
% miles northeast Of Olympia. -
This seems to have had the taste OF
wormwood TO the Union, which re-
marks IN noting this reference" dis
lance from Puyallup not given!
/. it necessary to inform a journal
so we'll posted on most topics rs the
Union that no places are better known
to the intelligent people OF the world
than the capitals OF counties, provinces
or States? Every school boy or girl
in our great country can point out
Olympia on the map, who may not
know whether Seattle is a word of
two OF three syllables, or that Tacoma
is a hamlet or hilltop. "25 miles
northeast of Olympia" conveys an in
telligible idea of just about where the
Getty OF Destiny" exists in its present
embryonic State, while six miles west
OF Puyallup" would be as meaningless
as a statement that Tacoma is twelve
miles north of "R. A. Point" q desig-
nation which, while it conveys a con-
else and definite location to our local
steamboatmen, would be as Greek to
all others.
Then again the Union is disconso-
late because only in the Washington
State edition of Biographies is Mount
Tacoma mentioned, and then it is
given second place, in small type,
under Mount Rainier" The Union
should find some comfort in the con-
cession made by placing Tacoma's
name for the mountain in the map,
though it be in "small type" for
every body else in the State, and out
OF it, knows the mountain by its proper
name of Rainier. The books were not
made for Tacoma alone, but for the
schools of the whole State and the
entire Union of States. wherever
adopted. and it certainly requires con-
siderable assurance to expect that the
history OF the past is to be reviewed,
and the wishes of the people ignored,

PRICE FOR HoP-PIcKING.-Seventy.
five cents is paid at Puyallup and
Yakima, this year, for picking hops,
an excellent price, measured by the
gold standard, and while some OF the
growers have abandoned their crops
from the uncertainty of affecting q
sale at any reasonable price. Not
outstanding these conditions there
was q strike at the Moxie yards, last
week, and pickers demanded 81 per
box, the same as was paid when hops
were in steady demand at four times
the price they can now be sold ut, and
when a dollars purchasing power was
infinitely less than it is now. The
demand was refused, and the owners
declared they would close the doors of
their dryers and let the hops rot on
the vines, before they would pay .
cent more than was offered. This
brought them to their senses and work
was not suspended, though some OF
the people quit work.

MIsCEGENERATIoN.- white girl II
years of age, named Dollie Miller, was
married few days ago to Chinaman
.: Walla Walla, and strange to relate
the wedding was "solemnized" by a
regularly ordained minister OF the gos-
pei and several of Walla Walla's citi-
Gems gave the affair enough support
and countenance to be present at the
ceremony. A report few days later
states that the girl had left the China

made in uniting her destiny with a
man OF q nationality that cannot pos.
sibly assimilate with our own.

Twenty Lives Lost.

London, January 14-An accident
occurred to-day mt the Bag Lake Colliery,
at Audley. North Staffordshire, by which
it is thought that at least twenty persons
lost their lives.
Two hundred and thirty men and
boys were at work in the collierv when
at about y o'clock there was a sudden
rush of water from the old workings.
About seventy men reached the shaft
and were speedily hoisted out of danger
The pumps were promptly put at work
and rescuing parties descended into the
mine.
The news of the accident spread with
great rapidity, and "A wildly excited crowd
was soon gathered about the pit head
1t was not long before some OF the
miners came to the surface, and every
fresh arrival at the mouth of the pit was
greeted with cheers.

the men and boys had been rescued

thought that twenty were in the lower

has been very severe, and many acci-
dents to vessels are reported from vari-
Gus parts of the coast. Two ships foun-
dered in the Humber, and their crews
were drowned.
y barge was wrecked off .Sandgate,
Kent, and the rescue of her crew was ac-
companled by exciting scenes. The life
boat men attempted to launch their boat,
but the craft got stuck in a snow bank,
and 1t was found impossible to get her
into the water. At this juncture a hero
ic coast guardsman divested himself of
his heavy clothing, and carrying a life
line, sprang into the boiling surf. Swim
ming with powerful stroke, he, after a
severe struggle, reached the wreck.
Then a heavier line was drawn aboard.
and soon the crew and their gallant res
cuer, were safe on shore.
The schooner Balcay capsized to day
off North Sunderland Point. and all her
crew were drowned.

flames. The persons first on the scene
discovered Schmid standing in the front

pull him out, but he was tightly wedged
in. Three times they were driven away

were in vain.

The executive committee of the Dem
Ocratic association of Minnesota has is
sued a stirring address in favor of con-
tinuing the educational campaign for
free trade. There is no mincing of
phrases in this address. which declares
openly and boldly for free trade under
which no import will be taxed for inter
nal revenue" In the estimation of the
committee sit is not Democratic To tax
men on what they consume and exempt
all other forms of property" As the
alternative for custom house taxes the
committee declares that we must frank
ly accept "a direct tax levied as prOvi-
ded in the constitution OF the United
States
One of the best educational agencies
in behalf of free trade is the new tariff.
When the people come to recognize tine
beneficent operation of the new tariff in
cheapening the materials of industry
and in widening the markets for Amer
lean products, they will proceed, in their
OVID time and in their own way, to fur
ther reforms in tariff legislation But
the operation cannot be accomplished in
a day or year. as the adjustments of
trade to new conditions are necessarily
slow. One point of great importance al
ready gained Is that the Republicans
dare not revert to McKinlevism. There
can, however. be no standstill Instead
of reaction, there will be progress until
| the last barriers to commercial freedom
shall have fallen to the ground Al
ready the partisan hostility to the new
tariff is dying away, and in good time it.
too, will be replaced by better measure,
with the hearty approval of the people

The spectacle of German and Hill dis
putting as to which OF them is response
bic for the recent defeat Of the Demo-
cratic patry, says the Philadelphia Times
must have made even the senate smile.
They are both of them right and both
wrong, though German is the farther
wrong of the two.
His pretense that he only tinkered
the tariff to secure more revenue is moon
shine. Most of his amendments were
worthless for revenue, however valuable
for protection, and they did more to dis
credit his party than any of Hills vaga-
ries did.
The two might be left to fight it out.
only that the tariff is not the question
just now. The treasury, no doubt
would be in better shape if it had more
revenue, but it would take an impossi-
bly, large surplus now to restore conf
dence in the currency. The senators
should get together and do something,
and after that they can settle their old
scores.
