THOSE GRISSHOIPERS.


Lecture by Dr. Lucas of Canada on the
Liquor Traffic = Prohibition Laws in
Knnsas-AIen as Grasshoppers.
There were about 80 people present at
the lecture on Those Grassnoppers, by
the Rev. ID. " Lucas, ID. d., given in st.
Pauls NJ. Il. Church last night week. Those
who braved the storm were amply repaid
for the effort made. DIR. Lucas, who is a
typical Britisher, forcible and logical as a
speaker and worldwide traveller, held
the close attention of his audience for
over an hour in talk bristllng with
humor and temperance.
Speaking of the liquor traffic, DIR. Lucas,
by II number of striking stories, demon
strated the opinion of it held by men in
that business, who, he said, invariably
considered ii as a condemnable business,
but with money in it. If the traffic is a
good one we are wrong in opposing it, but
If il is as bad as men in it say it is it be-
comes utterly impossible for thinking
creatures to uphold it. In speaking of
prohibition the lecturer said that he had
been called upon to defend the Kansas
prohibition laws even over in Australia
and New Zealand, where these laws were
set up as u failure and to verify his de-
fence he said that starting from san Fran.
cisco he travelled through the West for
one and one.half years before finding
one eating house where liquor could
not be obtained, and that was in Kan
sas. The results of his investigations
were sent TO Australia and printed in one
of the leading newspapers there with the
heading DIR. Lucas III the Land of De-
parted Spirits" We stand and see the
curse Of the liquor traffic and say it cannot
| be put down. Ii takes a long time to put
down sin by talk. There never was an age
| when men were wanted with backbon as
now. Backbone metaphorically speaking
means pluck, bravery and devotion. Ii

shall be in the sight Of others. Don't be .

Silver Resolutions.

The following resolutions outline
the sentiments of the rank and file OF
Democracy who lately assembled in
Washington city:
Duty to the people requires the
party of the people to continue to
battle for bimetallism until its efforts
are crowned with success. Therefore
be it
Resolved That the Democratic
party in national convention assem-
bled should demand the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver and gold into
primary or redemption money at ra-
ito of 16 to |, without waiting for the
action or approval OF any other nation.
Resolved. second-It should declare
its irrevocable opposition to the substi-
tuition for metallic currency of panic.
breeding, corporation, credit currency
based on single metal, the supply of
which is so limited it can be cornered
at any time by a few banking institu-
tons in Europe and America.
Resolved, third-It should declare
its opposition to the policy and prac
tice of surrendering to the holders Of
obligations of the United States the
option reserved by law to the govern
ment of redeeming such obligations in
either silver coin or gold coin.
ResOlred. fourth-It should declare
its opposition to issuing interest bear
ing bonds of the United States in time
OF peace, and especially to placing the
treasury OF the government under the
control of any syndicate OF bankers,
and the issuance of bonds to be sold by
them at an enormous profit for the
purpose of supplying the federal
treasury with gold to maintain the
policy of gold monometallism.
With view to securing the adher-
ence to and the readoption of the DEM
ucratiC financial policy set forth by the
Democratic national. convention to be
assembled in 1896, and of the nomina-
ton of candidate for the presidency
we'll known to be in hearty sympathy
Herewith, we hereby pledge our mutual
cooperation. We urgently recommend
to our Democratic brethren in all
States to at once begin and to vigorous
ly and Systematically prosecute the
work of thorough organization, and to
this end the adoption of the plan OF
organization herewith submitted is
recommended.
The plan of organization constitutes
Senators Isham Harris, Jones of Ar
kansas and Turpie OF Indiana, Cover
nor Stone of Missouri, w. H. Hin
ricksen OF Illinois and Casey Young OF
Tennessee, an executive committee
and providing that they appoint ma

success is not known. On Sunday
morning last he attended Sunday
school and led devoutly in the singing
worship and otherwise with great
JUNCTION.
The performance OF the Webbing
sisters at Olympia Theater, Tuesday
night, was unique to say the least.
1T Was Very Hlnglish, you know"
and IN this respect IA delightful varia-
ton OF the German and Irish dialect
which have held the stage so long.
1t WAS natural, too, for the national
isms of the commedian ares generally
assumed, while the Weddings spoke
their mother tongue as they had
been taught from infancy. Their
dancing was graceful but not as ar
tistic as was the poetry OF motion"
by the ballet of Spider and Fly :"
their singing was charming, but did
not call out a raptuous applause As
did that of Marie Heath" OF Ole
Olson's Swedish sisters; their elocu-
ton is fairly good, and their stage
presence pleasing. Taken as a whole,
the performance was a success more
because it differed from anything that
it has preceded it than its artistic

A FORECLOSURE SUIT AGAINST THE
o. l.. &. P. Co.-Mr. Faulkner, Secre.
tary OF the Olympia Light and Power
Co, was passenger by the Multno.
nah for Tacoma this morning to give
testimony in the suit of the American
Loan and Trust Co. for foreclosure
of mortgage given by the power COM
pany. 1t seems that when the loan OF
$25O,O 600 was made the company, it
was stipulated that 100000 of the
bonds should not be used except for
repairs and improvements that had
been approved by the loan company.
Repairs and improvements were made
without the formality of obtaining
consent, and paid for out of the earn
ings OF the road. When bill of costs
was sent with request that bonds be
sold to repay the cost, the loan COM
pany refused, and when the railroad in
consequence found itself unable to pay
interest, a foreclosure suit was begun.
Whether the loan company have helped
their owninterests by so doing, howev-
er, is u matter of conjecture.
