Vandalism.

Mr., Chris Wagner was a most dis,
guSted man Monday morning when
he visited his grape trellises and
found that during the night some
rufians had been there, and not con-
tent with stealing a lot of unripe
grapes, had damaged the vines badly
by forcioly tearing the grapes off.
The evidences of their theft were
found on the ground and away up
the road. This we look upon as an
outrage and the sooner such people
leave this town the better the people
will be pleased. Stealing of any
kind cannot be excused and it is gem
orally understood in this section they
are invited to leave. In the four
teenth century when a thief was
caught they Topped off his ears. We
are more Tenant to criminals now
but a thief is a thief ever.

A Fish Story.

Several years ago we were on the
Columbia River killing fish. We
used a double barrel shot gun. One
day about 10 o'clock We saw a mon
ster salmon Ssh moving slowly down
the river, An average shot would
no effect, so our plan was to use a
large ball, and fasten wire to the
ball the length of the barrel and then
securely tie to large cord, fasten
the Osher end of the cord to tree
shoot the fish in broad sides and
have a man on the other side of the
river to hastily grab the bullet and
tio to a tree, thus having the fish
swinging safely at our bidding. The
plan worked efficiently and the re-
suit was that we butchered slaught-
cred and destroyed q million pounds
of as fine salmon as eyer swan the
Columbia River.-Halriman Hornet.

Mr.. Emile Turguem, of Paris
is an original cpss to say the
least. La an interview with him
in the N. Y. Dispatch, he says.
"No wonder hundred thousand
of you people go to Europe to
find Sunday that is Free"
Yes, and even then then they
are not satisfied, Mr.. Furguem
has mistaken the American peo4
pie for q lot of nabobs who have
no claim to citizenship beyond
the fact that they find money
ey to spend IN enjoying Sum-
day in Europe by means of A
merican money. It is a good
radiance. We are glad that
they can find the freedom there
which in this country would
fine or Imprisonment. It is a
luxury no doubt to be able to
spend Sunday in Europe, and
the pleasure of its enjoyment is
greatly enhanced when the rich
pabob is in utter ignorance of
the pains of the toiling thousands
who labor for the merciless cor
poratiOns in WHICH he mas his
money invested.

WILLIAM E. RUSSELL.

William Eustis Russell, the
"boy" Governor of old Massa
chQssetts is dead. Death crept
UPON him in the night as he lay
asleep in hia tent in the little
fishing camp near st. Adelaide
de Pabos, Quebec. The thrice
Governor of the old State Of
Massachusetts surrendered quiet
ly to the foe, and no sign of pain
or suffering was visible upon his
face when his friends found him
in the early morning. Chilly"
Russell, as all loved to call him
was the one universally beloved
man of his State. He carried the
hearts of his people in his own
manly breast, and they worship
ped him as their idol. He was
the true exponent Of everything
manly and no breath of SANDER
was ever lifted against him.
American people, and especially
those from Massachusetts exiled
like ourselves, mourn for HIM
with sincerest grief. He was the
epitOme of honest, manly purS
pose, the true exponent of all that
was honorable in public or pri-
vate life.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by
an lnfamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when this Is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
CoLdition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are

NOT A PARTY MEASURE.

The att tude of the Western Republican
senators on the house bond bill in insist
ing upon a free coinage amendment fur
nishes abundant evidence that In the west
the free silver sentiment Is quite as strong
among the Republicans as it Is among the
Democrats. AS a matter of fact II IS
Senator Dubois and his colleagues who are
making the most determined fight against
any legislation which does not contain a
free coinage provision.
The truth IS that It IS The free silver Re-
publicans who are now the prop Of the
free silver cause. With an unfriendIy
house and a hostile president. the free
coinage of silver is of course an imposSt-
bil5ty at present. But, as Senator Vest

been the cause of so much criticism, the

HAWAII MUST BE OURS.

Hawaii. and in fact the entire Sand
witch Island group, is Of most impor-
lance to the Great American Republic
They are just as intimately connected
and related to our commerce as are
the West India islands. If not in
dependencies, if these islands are TO be-
long to any power, then there is no
question as to what power they should
belong. 1t is matter of record,
known to everybody, that during Har-
risOn'S administration steps We're ia
for the practical annexation of the
Sandwich Islands by the United States
In 1870. in a commercial treaty with
Hawaii. those islands We're practically
incorporated into the commercial sys-
TEN of the United States, and imme-
diately thereafter a sufficient number
there to dominate both the business and
politics Of the islands. The tariff was
wiped out as between them and Us,
on n reciprocity basis. Had Harri-
son been reelected not only would these
islands now belong to the United States
but Cuba would have either been an
independently or an American colony.
That it would have been advantageous
all around there is little doubt. That
we would have been more safely forti-
fed in the event of a foreign war, is
equally true.
SO the house resolution of last week

THEY DIDN'T DARE

The most patriotic body of men in
the world is the Kansas legislature,
that is, TO hear them tell it. The
present congressional and legislative
apportionment of the state is very IN
equal, if not an absolute wrong and
outrage. The constitution provides
the way, and fixes the time for the re-
adjustment Of these appointments.
The legislature is commanded TO do it
every five years. The members of the
legislature all took a solemn oath TO
obey the constitution. But Governor
Morrill,, who occasionally makes a great
howl over the violation of official Oaths
in the non-enforcement of a statutory
law, which he himself publicly and
officially declares Of impossible enforce
ment. sets about, with all the power at
his command as chief executive, and
backed by the State Temperance union
a wholly irresponsible body legally
comedies, to countermand the mandates
of the fundamental law of the COM
mOnwealth, and to incidentally COM
pei the members Of the legislature to
neglect their duty and violate their
oathS of office. So far was this polit-
zeal scheme carried out as to have it
given out that if the legislature did
meet the auditor of state would not
permit the treasurer to pay the per
diem Of the members The next thing
will be concerted groan
from his excellency, and Dick Wake,
that the police commissioners and their
court and states attor-
ney are violating their oaths in failing
to close the Wichita joints. But had
we been a member of that legislature
we would have gone to Topeka, pay
or no pay, and remained with quo
rum long enough at least to have re-
appOrtioned the state. Pay or no pay
and the expense was the excuse of the
governor for defeating the converting
Of the legislature-out of duty TO their
to say nothing of their
oath or patriotism, the legislature
should not have done less.
