Surplus Corn.

Last year the southern farmers de-
termincd to save the money hitherto
paid out for western grain and pro-
visions, and put a good portion OF
their lands in corn, with the resul;
that they not only produced enough
for home consumption, but had sur
plus to sell. The effect is seen in the
unusually low prices ruling for corn,
and the inability of the west to move
the surplus, except by exporting it,
The extent CT the corn surplus owe,
and above domestic consumption vii
probably be much the largest on re

"Now the birth Of Jesus Christ was
on this wise So runs the old story
as told in the first chapter of Matthew,
and rs it has been told and rctold,
chanted, sung and echoed the world
over for little short of two thousand
years. And thus will the simple story
be transmitted from generation to
generation to the end of the present
order of mundane affairs when Christ
himself shall come to reign upon
earth as he now rcigns in heaven.
Christmas is the queen holiday of
all holidays, in every civilized and en-
lightened nation of the earth. Its
annual fcstivitic: and merry-maklng,
absorb all other festive observances,
for they involve the good cheer of the
young and old in every condition of
life.
The birthday anniversaries of earth's
potentates are national holidays, but
the celebration of Christmas, "Christ
service" is in all respects the worlds
holiday. The shepherds who were
keeping their flocks on the plains of
Judea were the observers of the first
Christmas that dawned upon mankind.
And this initial Christmas was not
inougurated by the changing of church
bells, bOn-bon laden evergreen trees,
trooping children and salutations of
good cheer tossed from mouth to
mouth; but it was heralded by angelic
hosts with midnight shoutings that
echoed from earth to heaven and from
heaven to earth. Gloria in excelsis
Dec! was the cry. "Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward menu
Gaspar, Balthazar and Malchior, the
eastern Magi, were the first pilgrims
who ever made a journey to celebrate
a Christmas-tide with such costly
gifts as gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
The memories that cluster around
this holiday should ever be in due
keeping with the central thoughts of
the grand event. To this end then,
let us all join in the festivities of the
season with justice to ourselves and
charity to all.

ONE of the most pleasing results Of
the late county election will be the
displacement of the man who, with
out the warrant of law and in plain
violation of his sworn duty, RENTED
the taxes of the Olympia hotel last
year-the County Treasurer, George
Gelbach. His attempt to atone for
this wilful violation of law in obedience
to the lash of his masters, in giving
the screws an extra turn on those who
have to make up such delinquency by
assuming an increased burden, has
only rendered him the more odious in
the eyes of the public. 1t is safe to
say that he could not be elected to
the office of Dog Pelter, now that his
utter incompetence has been SO thor
oughly shown.

Plan for Silver.

A st. Louis dispatch of the 10Th
gives the results of conference be-
tween William J. Bryan, Senator Jones
of Arkansas, Gov. Stone of Missouri,
and other prominent members of the
Peoples Party, which took place after
a hunting expedition into the interior
of Missouri. When the party dis
banded, it had been agreed to carry on
an aggressive campaign of silver agi-
tation for the next four years. This
course seems necessary and justified
by the determination of the Goldbugs
to inaugurate campaign of educa.
ton" by the continuation of its liter.
cry bureau" and the constant issue OF
misleading statements on this vital
issue.
To meet and counteract this, the
following plan has been agreed upon
A National Bureau Of Volunteer
Speakers is to be organized, with head.
quarters at Washington. The purpose
of the bureau is to maintain speakers
in every county in the United States
The speakers must pass an examina-
ton as to their fitness, and will be sup
piled with all the arguments and sta
tistics obtainable. The field workers
will organize free silver clubs and
make monthly reports of progress.
One of the incentives to active work
is roll of honor. This will be made
up of workers achieving the best re-
suits, and place on the roll will be
the strongest essential for preferment
by successful Democratic candidate
for President in 1900.
Mr.. Bryan has been consulted in
every step taken, and has consented to
become custodian of the roll of honor
1t is the intention of the bureau to
have 5000 speakers in the field within
three months, and to keep the enthu-
siasm going till election day in 1900.

The Wizard Dead.

Prof. Alexander +. Herman, the
king of magical illusions, is dead, He
died on the morning of the 18th inst,
i'll his private car, on the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburgh road, on his
way to Bradford, Pa, where he was to
appear that evening in one of his en-
tertainments.
Prof. Herman was of German par
entage, born in Paris. His father was
one of the best magicians in Europe,
but made no use of his powers in
public. Herman's eldest brother was
likewise necromancer of considerable
skill.
Herman's first appearance in this
country was about quarter of CEN
tury ago. His reception was so cordial
and he was so deeply impressed with
our institutions, that he took out pa
pers of naturalization and made this
country his home. He subsequently
made three tours of the world, and the
medals he wore that were gifts from
the nobility and crowned heads
showed the eminence he had attained
in his profession.
Herman gave n performance in
Olympia Thcater during the summer
of 1891, and even the lapse of time has
not obliterated the impression made
by his magical wonders on all who saw
them.

The consideration by Congress of
the Cuban question will come up after
the adjournment, and sentiment seems
to be strong enough to adopt resolu-
tions recognizing belligerency of the
patriots. The stand taken by Olney
that this power is vested solely in the
Executive branch of the government
meets with bitter opposition, headed
by the ablest leaders in and out of
Congress. 1t is probable that the
issue will be squarely made, by the
passage of the measure over the Presi-
dental veto, and when this is done
the executive must yield, or stand im-
parchment proceedings.
