Y. OF W. SURPRISED.
The Local w, Of w. Lodge Visited by
white Caps.
But the Affair Turned out to be Very
Enjoyable One.

Wednesday night, being the regular
meeting night OF Pullman Camp, llo,
Woodmen of the World, the wives,
daughters and lady friends OF the mem
bers gave them a very unique and sue
cessful surprise.
Counsel J. w. Thomdson had just dis
missed lodge preparatory to practlclng a
new drill, when an alarm was heard at
the outer door. The sentry on guard
opened the door, and the spectacle that
met his gaze so stunned him that several
masqueraded white caps entered the
door before he realized the true situation.
Then quickly locking the door to the
inner ante room, reported to the amazed
members that the outer ante room and
stairs were crowded with people dressed
in long robes and masked, whereupon
he was Instructed to admit them.
Tie invaders were met at the entrance
with drawn axes until the neighbors
caught sight of that goat, which was ac-
cepted by all as a token Of confidence,
and each member then took his seat
we'll knowing that the invaders were
! friends. After marching several times
around the hall, the visitors took their
seats, and requested Counsel Thompson
to make the announcement that they
had with them beautiful frosted cake
which would be presented to the neigh
Dor who first distinguished his wife.
J. NJ. Palmerton being the first sue
cessful neighbor was delegated to divide
the cake between himself, DR.. q. b.
Wilson, J. w. Thompson, T. j. Preston
and w. G. Murphy, who were also sue
cessful. Considerable merriment was
then had at the expense OF these hungry
neigh tors who were anxious for their re.
ward, but the cake proved to be a genu'
inc "April fool, being made OF chopped
wheat, oats, barley, cotton and layers o.
cloth.
Mr.. J. II. st. Lawrence then made a
very neat speech on the ains and objects
of the Woodmen of the World which
was we'll received, after which Mr.. and
Mrs. st. Lawrence rendered several
beautiful songs, composed by them fol
the occasion, which brought out persis-
tent encore. The ladies, who always
come prepared, then announced that
supper was ready, and 20 0neghbors with
their wives, daughters and lady friends
sit down to the feast.
After supper Neighbor S. y. Small
sung two selections, then the floor was
cleared and those who desired spent the
remainder Of the evening in dancing,
while others spent the time in pleasant
conversation. At the hour of one O clock,
on motion of Clerk L. b. Miller, the
ladies, together with Mr.. and Mrs. j. II.
st. Lawrence, were given a vote OF thanks
for the novel entertainment, and one and
all joined in personal praise for the en-
joyable evening spent.

Some OF the farmers have engaged
help on novel proposition. They are
having for man and team at the rate OF
three bushels of wheat per day, the wheat
to be delivered at the warehouse next
fall. Thus they take the chance on
GOOD price next fall equally with the
farmer. 1t is certainly just arrange
ment, and about the only one under
which the farmer could engage help with
wheat at its present price.
-Chas. Bishop reports the prospect
for full crop OF all kinds OF fruit as eN-
cellent, the trees on the river coming
out this spring in thrifty manner, the

frst-class shape, and will yield full
crop.

worth League, and the gentlemen will

ment. An invitation is extended to the
public.
The wheat acreage in the Palouse
country is variously estimated at from
one-half to two-thirds of an average crop.
Had the railroads made a reasonable re-
duction in freight rates the acreage would
have been much larger, thus their
refusal to reduce rates worked directly
against them,

CoLFAx, April 4.-Judge Sullivan OF
the superior court handed down yester-
day the decision in the case OF II. W.
Livingstone VS.. Whitman county to de-
eide whether the auditor can legally issue
warrant since the constitutional limit
of Indebtedness has been reached. Alter
reviewing the case the decision states
that "We are constrained to hold that all
debts incurred by the county after haY-
ING reached it's constitutional limit OF IN
debtedness are absolutely unwarranted,
illegal and void, and all warrants issued
as evidence Of such are also void"

into effect.

The winter in New York state is
formally,declared open and all the
canals are ready for traffic. To the
dweller in San Antonio it seems as
though the opening came late.
The thermometer in New York
has been up in the nineties already
and sweltering heat has been COM
planned OF everywhere. This was
followed by cold, wet weather and
a general shiver. Qneer climate.
The weather clerk does not say
that it will not rain, nor yet that it
will, but the humidity OF the at
mosphere is such that rain would
be certain in any other latitude.
1t would be hard for any man in
this section to heed the advice to
toak his head il he depended on
the weather clerk for the moisture
so do the soaking.

There is a revival Of industry
all over the country, but 1t is not
likely to settle down to steady
gait until this financial question
is somewhat put to rest. Agitation
has bsen the curse Of the country
for the past two presidential terms.
The unsettled conditions OF the
tariff and the currency have I'M
settled all other things and until
these are put to rest there will not
be that activity in all departments
of business that is so much desired
and that would certainly come If
there was a fiXedness to financial
and tariff matters. Some day it
will dawn upon the American peo-
pie that every other year is entire
ly too often to change the whole
policy OF a great country like this,
particularly as involved in that
change are her interests OF an in.
dustrial, commercial, agricultural
and monetary character. Once in
ten years is sufficiently often to
jeopardize and a constitutional
provision fixing tariffs and money
ratios for a period of ten years
would do much to prevent the un-
certainty and distrust and fear Of
adverse change that now discour-
ages business and lays its hand at
the throat of all investment. Sta
bility and not change should be
the order.

SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1895

Texas is not framing platforms
for the Republican party, not at
this stage of the game. 1t would
be very unwise for state like this,
that could not possibly give a
single vote in the electoral college,
TO take the initiative in matter
that will be handled as carefully as
eggs in the combined wisdom of
the party in its National conven-
ton. Let the Republicans Of Texas
this year steer clear from all con-
ventions of every character, wheth-
er they are for the purpose Of shap-
ing the policy Of the state or to
have bearing on the National ex-
preston.

San Antonio has a few ball tos-
sers, and then she has some men
in her nine who would be more in
place pounding rock or cathing
crabs than in pounding and catch
ing ball. The men who can play
should be retained and others
taken on as they can be found, let
ting the incompetents heave coal
or do some other work that they
are braced for. 1t is Of no manner
Of use to let the thing go by de-
fault now that it has been begun.
Play it out this summer and by
fall the base ball hackers OF this
city will know a heap better
how to prepare for next year. The
experience will be worth all that
it will cost them.

There is no doubt that the cur
Tency question is going to be the
question of greatest disturbance in
the next campaign. In the Demo-
cratic camp the trouble will be to
prevent a declaration in favor OF
free silver, while in the Republi-
can camp the danger will lie in the
di rection Of gold mono metalism
Th ere is not doubt that the great
ma sses Of the people want both
metals and to have the ratio equit-
ably declared and fixed. The party
that is governed by the will Of the
masses in framing its national
declarations is seldom left at the
starting post when the flag drops,
and it is always well placed for the
position. These insure it a good
chance to come under the wire a
winner.

The ratification of the Japanese
treaty by China will work a revc-
luton in that empire. 1t will be
a confession OF the falsity of the
claims made for so many centu-
ries as to the invincibility Of the
Emperor; this will bring with it a
lessening of that superstitious rev.
erence in which the Emperor is
held, and this in turn will weaken
his hold upon the people and lead
to the disintegration Of the empire
in time. The cohesive power OF
China is in the superstitious rev.
erence that the people have for the
Emperor. Break that down and
its cohesiveness is largely gone.

This is an off year in politics in
Texas and if the Republicans are
wise they will keep it so. A move
ment to call the representative men
of the party together to monkey
with silver resolutions, or to burn
their fingers with questions of pro.
hibition, would be a.disastrous one.
The members of the state executive
com mittee should put their seal Of
condemnation on this matter at the
start.

There is no less dissatisfaction
with the course of the administra-
ton at Washington now that the
evacuation Of Corinto by the Bril-
fish is accomplished. The general
tenor OF feeling is that the author
tiles Of the United States should
have protested vigorously against
the occupation, and that such pro.
test would, have been effective
There may be practically no ground
for this opinion and it may be that
the President did all that he was
warranted in doing, but it is also
true that the feeling is general
that he has not uph ED the doctrine
of the non-intervention OF foreign
nations In the affairs of the Ameri
can Republics as was intended in
the Monroe declarations.

The state OF Texas has expressed
its opinion in unmistakeable terms
on matters Of prohibition. 1t is
not quite eight years since this
matter was submitted to the state
and the result is not forgotten.
Those Republican leaders who are
hankering for notoriety as agita.
tors Of this question had better
read the history Of agitations OF
this kind in its bearing upon the
fortunes Of the party in other
states. Iowa was lost to the Re.
publicans for years, because she
had not the wisdom Of silence on
this matter, and at that time she
was the banner Republican state
Of the Union. Texas has not yet
put on her Republican swaddling
clothes and she had better go slow
That question is loaded to the
muzzle in this state and there is
no wisdom in being kicked out OF
time unnecessarily.

The Irish-Americans have never
yet accomplished anything for
Ireland through agitation in this
country and what they expect to
achieve through awakening a
world wide sympathy in their af-
fairs it is not so clear. Certainly
there is nothing in the relations
that Ireland sustains to the
British crown to justify any inter-
vention of the governments Of the
clvilised world in behalf of Irish
independence, and If Ireland were
free to manage her own concerns
today it is very doubtful If there
would be any agreement between
her factions. John Bull has no
more idea Of letting Ireland set up
separate government than he
has OF selling the tail of the
British lion. There is not single
reason that the United States or
any other country could give
Great Britain for such an inter-
ference in her affairs as would lead
to any change in the situation.
The agitations and the agitators
have had all the sympthy that
this country could give and a good
deal of spot cash in addition, but
down to date it does not appear to
do any oneany good. These agita-
tions are too generally for the
benefit Of some one with an AK to
grind.

The reports are so conflicting
concerning the ratification Of
that Chin Jap treaty that it is
impossible to state anything one
way or another. The kilograms of
one day are only wired to be con-
tradicted the next. The simple
fact is that China does not herself
know what she will do. The En-
peror would sign the treaty as at
present. formulated, but the adj
visers Of the Emperor do not want
to do this and are placing obstacles
in the way and delaying matters.
They evidently fear a reaction in
the mind Of the people that will re-
coil upon their own heads.
