CONTEMPT of the late Legislature
will not down at the Olympian's bid
ding. nor can it dismiss the criticisms
by saying they are cold" and worn
out" 1t must remember that the
same party has had control of the
assembly ever since the State was Or
gained, and the same spirit of ex.
travagance and profligacy has marked
its course that has given it individu.
atty wherever it has been installed.
Comments on such policy to be true,
must, OF course, be somewhat "old''
and sworn out" but they orc she
only form of expression that convey
the exact feeling of the people. The
Olympian will have to stand it, even
though it be, as it declares, disgust.

The Alliance Affair.
The Spanish warship which fired or

The Spanish warship which fired on
the l. :. mail steamer Alliance, off
the coast OF Cuba, is now known to have
been the Condo de Nenaditos. Ac-
cording to the story OF her commander,
while cruising of the eastern coast OF
Cuba ON the Sth inst. she sighted a
steamer within one and a half miles
Of the coast. The cruiser signaled the
steamer to stop, but she raised the
English flag and proceeded on her
wav at increased speed. The cruiser
then fired two blank and two solid
shots, not with the intention OF hitting,
but to compel her to heave to. Capt.
Crossman, OF the Allianca and his
officers have filed atiidavits that the
American flag was flying at her peak
when the shots were fired. 1t seems
that the Spanish government had in
formation Of that schooner had
sailed from Savannah, Ga, laden with
arms and ammunition for the Cuban
insurgents, and the Spanish gun
boat were charged with the duty OF
intercepting her. This probably led
to the attempt to" hold up the mail
! steamer.

One day last week, as the South
Bend train was running from Chehalis
to Centralia, a band of cayuses ran
ahead of the engine till they reached
800 foot trestle, which they attempt.
ell to cross. Only one succeeded
though it went down several times.
The Others stuck fast, three of them
in a bunch, abreast and between the
rails. The crew, with the aid OF a
score of passengers, among whom was
Professor Gleason, the horsetrainer,
worked for an hour carrying fence
boards and planking the trestle, and
then lifting the cayuses bodily out Of
the trestle and leading them across.
All were successfully rescued, with no
broken limbs, though badly bruised
and strained. Trains were delayed
about an hour.

BLANK PASSES INTO OBLIVION.

blAhNh fASSES lNlO OBLlNlON.
About six o'clock last evening
Blank met his fate at the hands of
two of Sheriff Van De Venter's posse,
on the railroad track about a mile
north Of Kent. 1t seems that about
noon Blank appeared at farm house
near that point and asked for dinner.
1t was quickly supplied, the family
believing that their visitor was the
noted deperado whose word was law.
After he had eaten a hearty meal he
started down the railroad track, and
the family sent word to Orilla, a rail-
road station near, whence the guards
quickly spread out over the country
in pursuit. The posse met him a
mile north of Kent. Two of them,
Shepick and Crow were walking in
front and saw Blank approaching. 1t
was not till he was close that they
ordered him to halt. Blank made no
response. and three times the order
was repeated. On the third demand,
when Blank had approached to about
II feet, he stopped and answered
what in --d do you want of me?"
and pulled his revolver and began
shooting, Shepick had returned the
fire from his Winchester twice, when
a shot from Blanks revolver struck
his arm, while extended along the rifle
BY this time Crow had begun firing,
and the remainder OF the posse had
came up and taken part in the fusil-
lade. Blank emptied his revolver be.
fore he fell, but he was wounded early
in the battle and was dead before the
last shot was fired.
Blanks body was carried to Kent
and from there shipped by rail to Sc
attic. in charge of a deputy sheriff.
The wound of Shepick is very serious
and may result in death, At last &C.
counts he was resting easily.
As illustrative OF the grim humor
of the desperate, it is noted that he
had inscribed on the stock of the pis-
toll he had taken from the guard the
words at. B. from Yarry, March 18th,
1895"

Give the Farmer Facts.

The average planter has but little use
for finely spun theory. whether 1t per-
tains to the relation of his condition TO
politics or whether it deals with the best
ways and means Of growing the best
crops. What he wants is Facts. No one
has realized this more than the great
seed firm of D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit.
Mich. who for forty years have been
studying the wants and condition Of
planters, large and small. and as re-
suit have created the largest seed bust.
ness in the whole world. without doubt,
strict adherence to the policy OF deal
ing in facts represents the secret Of their
success. They know their seeds are right
before they are sent to the many thou
sand dealers from whom the planter
get them. The dealer knows this to be
a fact requiring no further question
and the planter finds 1t to be a substan-
tial fact when harvest time comes. An
other illustration of the value Of thit
method is found in Ferry's Seed Annual
In which there is nothing but facts

THE CANE.

We can now advance with GER
tainty that the loss of cane Ill this
parish will be considerable. The
cane that was windrowed after the
first freeze is good with but few
exceptions, but that which was
put down a certain length of time
after is greatly damaged, and in
many instances entirely rotten;
and is consequently, an entire loss.
The situation grew SO serious
after the last freeze, the Keystone
did all it could to help the small
cane growers to save their crops,
while the st. John opened its
gate to these poor people to bring
all their crop as fast as they could.
Many took advantage of this OPP
portunity and saved their little
crops, but those who kept their
cane standing will sustain severe
loss because the cane is 80 badly
damaged that it will yield no su-
gar, and had to be refused by the
refneries.
The loss that will be made by
the cane growers in this parish
this year will amount to a sum
large enought to nearly build a
refinery. Yet those people hesi-
tate, to assist and encourage the
building of refinery at this place
last year.
Now, the refineries have notified
all those who have been growing
cane, under contract with these
re6neries, that hereafter they will
not contract to take any cane
grown outside of their own plan
tations. <f
They will of course take all
they can, as in the past, but will
not obligate themselves to take
any body's crop.
The cane grower who has no
sugar house to grind is own cane
is in a puzzling condition, to know
what to do with the crop he has
already planted, or is about to
plant in the next few weeks.
We can see only one way to re-
lieve the anxiety of these people,
it is for them to come together,
hold meeting and tax their re-
sources to build a refinery. I'm.
less they can build refneries to
grind their cane, they better quit
cultivating cane and 60 into some
thing else, if it is possible fol
them to do so.
The present situation is exceed.
ingly serious, and growing more
SO every year.
