THE Pr. ON PAssEs.-The Pr. oil
Sunday publishes a fac simaile Of the
pass issued to J. r. Rogers by the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co. in 1895
while he was Q member OF the Legis.
lature and of the voucher under
which he drew $40 mileage, while
serving as legislator, the implication
being that he had used the pass while
on official duty and drawn mileage for
the same transportation and placed il
in his own pocket. Mr.. Rogers, in
meeting this charge at Ellensburg
said that he never used the pass for
the service embraced in the voucher,
nor while sitting as a member of the
Legislature. That other members of
the P.-i.s own party were not so
conscientious can be proven, and it is
said that even the State Executive
does not hesitate to use his PASTE
board for his frequent flights between
his home at Seattle and the State
capital. or in junketing about the
country, "setting up the pins" for
retaining his place as barnacle on
the bottom OF the ship of State.

They Violate the Law.

The Republican Central Committee
OF this county gave the lie to their
professions of being the representatives
of the law-abiding party few days
ago, when they used the franks of sew
eral Republican Senators to distribute
campaign documents throughout the
county. One of the franks used was
of Senator John L. Wilson, doubtless
kindly supplied by that headstrong
and energetic worker, for the purpose.
These franks are only to be used for
the transmission of Congressional mat
ter, and the party using them is liable
to heavy fine for violation of the law
for mailing any other class of matter
within these official envelopes. Our
local Mark Hanna has been engaged
the past few days in constant denial of
culpability, but the proof is too plain
that it was with his knowledge and
consent that the postal law has been
grossly violated, and he now sits on his
throne with the sword of Damocles
suspended by single hair.

SONS OF THE ALAMO ARE READY.
Enthusiastic Meeting ut DnIIns
Voiced the Feelings of Texas.

Dallas Texas, Dec. 13.-There was a
great meeting at the city hall this ar,
ternoon in the interest of the freedom
OF Cuba. Two thousand representative
men and 100 women were present An
drew Jackson Houston, a son of the hero
of San Jacinto, presided, and made a
characteristic speech. Addresses were
also made by Charles Worth and H. C.
Stevenson, and the following preamble
and resolutions were adopted:
''First--That the meeting voices the
unanimous sentiment of Texas in the
declaration that Spanish domination in
Cuba should be at once ended
The second resolution embodies the res
oiution introduced by Mills in the senate
on the 10th, and cordially and heartily
indorses it.
"Third-That Texans-the children of
the Alamo-stand ready to honor any
draft made upon them by congress and
the president, for men and material to
end the bloody, cruel and barbarous reign
Of the Spaniards in Cuba, and erect her
into free American state"
The resolutions were adopted by ris-
ing and unanimous vote. After the
feting a permanent organization was
Wormed to help Cuba in every way to
throw off the yoke Of its oppressor.

against rumors of war, or the serious
prospect of war. AS one of those con-
cerned in the negotiations sums up the
result: When a serious difference arises
between the two countries. instead of a
public feeling that war may result and a
consequent unsettling of commercial in
terests, as occurred in the Venezuelan
crisis. the public will know beyond all
possibility of rumors or reports that the
difference is one which will be settled by
arbitration instead of possible resort to
arms.
This public sentiment against alarm is
felt to be no less beneficial as one of the
features assured by the treaty, than the
plan of arbitration itself.
The reasons for limiting the treaty to
five years are doubtless to place a meas
ure of this extent on fair trial after
which, If the results are as good as an
ticipated, the treaty can be renewed or
be made permanent.

THE LIVING CHRIST

To Prof. George D. Heron. the John the
Baptist of Applied Christianity.
The Son of Man appears once more
The Christ who taught in Gallilee
Proclaims his truth on every shore
And walks the waves Of every sea;
Unsullied by the taint of bribes
He challenges the proud and great
Reh,lking Pharisees and scribes
Who guard the doors of church and
state.
He comes in signs. He "comes in clouds"
Whose hidden lightnings bide their time;
He wanders homeless in the crowds
That Mammon drives to want and crime;
See iI him 4stripped and ies bleeding lie
Where lordly bishops pass Him by,
AS in the ages long ago.
o! Christ, the tender, loving one
In whom all deathless graces blend
The goal to which the cycles run
AS torrents in their courses turn
To mngle with Mother Breast.
ALI tongues and tribes and nations yearn
For what is found in Thee expressed.
o.. constant. patient Heart of Life,
Whose warm pulse beats for all the
While men still waste their powers in strife
hear Thy voice amidst the roar
OF trade and war on land and sea,
Repeat this message DER and DER:
'"Take up the cross and follow me-"
see Thee smitten by Thy. foes
While virtue from Thy presence flows
In healing streams to wounded hearts;
see a drowsy priesthood-met
In solemn form to watch and pray
Who slumber while in bloody sweat
Their Master waits the dawn of day.
I see those sad. reproving eyes
Still search the cringing Peters through,
And One whom PLATE justifies
Rejected by the church anew.
Again the robber is released,
The saint to crucifiXion doomed,
Again the Caesar and the priest
Conspire to keep the Lord entombed.
Again the surplice hangs revealed
Behind the warriors cassocked head,
Again the sepulchre is sealed
Where justice. steps but is not dead; 4
But who can stay the awful birth
OF Truth from out the age-long night?
Though all the armies of the earth
Their legions hurl against the Light:
As rock-mailed shores submissive throw
Their aruors down upon the strand,
And towering submits plumed with snow
Obey at last the tides command. !a
So Thou. o Christ! with love sublime
Shalt draw all races to Thy breast, VI
: And all the warning things of Time
Shall turn to Thee at last for rest
