the making OF private contracts to
pay obligations in stipulated kind
Of money Is of the same type, to tickle
another class of voters, who are not
supposed to know that such law
would be unconstitutional. The
plank favoring constitutional
amendment to allow the imposition
of an income tax, we beleive to be all
right, and one that will meet general
favor among citizens of all parties.
All accounts agree that the NOM
inees are individually good men and
exemplary citizens. VIM. J. Bryan,
of Nebraska, named for president,
was born in Salem, Marion county,
Illinois, March 10, 1850; attended
public school until Is years of age,

his profession at jacksonville, but re-
moved to Lincoln, Neb., Oct. /, 1881,
and became member of the firm of
Talbot & Bryan. He never held an

Protection Must Protect.

No one says anything about the Nc
Kinley tariff being too radical any
more.
This is right if the correspondent re-
fers to those half hearted protectionists
who invariably vince under Democratic
criticism and say that Mckinley rates
"may" have been too high. We are
sorry to admit that few Of these eva
sionists are still to be found IN botn
branches Of congress. But they hau
nothing to say about McKinle1 rates
being "too high in 1892. They cannot
be ''too Hight to exclude foreign prod
ucts that are similar in character to our
own products.

Plain Talk on a Live Subject.

Milwaukee Telegraph: The James,
Vile Gazette is disposed to criticize
Ex-Governor Hoard for his plainness
of speech in pointing obstacles In the
way of the Republican party's ad-
vance. 1t accuses him of throwing
stones. II the Gazette would give
"A little attention to the methods
adopted by Governor Hoard's enc
mics in hurting bricks at him, which
they do in the dark or from the rear,
shielding themselves from discovery
as far as possible, it would manifest
a degree of fairness that would be
refreshing. Governor Hoard has the
courage Of his convictions. When
he sees a wrong in the republican
party, or on the part Of republican
leaders, he is not afraid to point 1t
out and condemn it. We believe
that that is a much better way than
to ignore wrong and buy the party
into temporary success. One of the
things that in the past has greatly
weakened the republican party is the
custom that has prevailed, to de-
grading degree, of buying victories.
Money has filed the legislature to
over-flowing with mere tools of polit-
ical bosses, tools that could be relied
upon to do just what theirpurchasers
wanted them to do, and they have
done so many things in the past that
will not bear the light Of day that
the people have come to think, with
Governor Hoard, that 1t is best to eN-
perience aradical change Of methods
in political work. How magnificent
ii would be to elect legislature by
the people and for the people; a leg
islature that would center its eyes
and its heart upon the welfare of the
whole state and all of the people; u
legislature that would scorn TO sell
itself for the benefit of classes and
corporations, and to the oppression
Of the masses. We are aware that
it is customary to denounce people
who speak in this plain manner as
cranks, as kickers, as fault finders.
The use of Doodle in hiving legisla-
lures, whether city, state or national,
is dangerous in the extreme, and
ought to come to an end. Gov
ernor Hoard will find a mighty host
standing firmly by his side in max
ing war against the few who have
been using the republican party for
their selfish interests. He who works
the most faithfully, devotedly, I'M
selflshly in the interest of the masses
Of the people Is the man who does
the best possible work for the repub-
lican party.

HAVANA AND IT'S HISTORY.

From the New York Telegram.
Havana, as the capital metropolis
and chief seaport of Cuba, is on of the
best known cities in the American hem
isphere. Its splendid harbor. its COM
mercial Importance, it's climate and the
tfnge of romance that ever attaches 10
its people have made it's fame world
wide. Havana has about 200. 900 inhabi-
tants. 1t was founded but % years aft
er the discovery by Columbus. and has
always been the commercial emporium
of the Antilles. 1t is situated on a beau
tiful bay, whose entrance from the Gulf
OF Mexico is by a narrow estuary be-
tween two prominent headlands. This
entrance is guarded on the east by the
famous MORO castle and on the west
by the Castle de la Punta, both built
at the close of the 10th century.
Havana, in its topography, architec-
ture and every other physical attribute,
is essentially Spanish. the houses are
Identical with the architecture of the
south of Spain. They have heavy walls
OF stone, low ceilings, broad verandas
and are built upon narrow streets
which, though well paved, are unclean-
ly and unpleasant to the eye. Most of
the public institutions are of ancient
date. The great cathedral, so well

Comment on the Court's Action In Tn.
Cases of symes and Rutten.


From the Chehalis Bee.
Several days ago Judge Union Of
Walla Walla set aside verdict OF muir
der In the first degree that had been
rendered by jury I'm the Symes case.
and sentenced the latter TO 10 years i'm
the penitentiary. holding that he was
only guilty Of murder i'm the second de-
gree. Last week, I'm Kitsap county. Ser
vius Rutten. who was sentenced TO be
hanged two years ago. was permitted
TO enter plea Of guilty to the crime
OF manslaughter and he was sentenced
70 two years I'm the penitenitary. This
looks altogether too much like compro-
missing with murderers to induce them
not TO appeal TO the supreme court. and
the wisdom Of such a practice is very
questionable II our jury system is TO
stand II should govern I'm all such cases.
and superior judges should not have
the authority Of making one-man
jury trial in cases like the above, where
men are accused OF such high crimes
against society.
