The Bonds and Silver.

No friend of silver expects that the
senate bill providing for silver coinage
will be law; the sweeping republican
majority in the house is strongly or
ganized against that result. and the
measure would find no favor whatever
with the president. 1t is gratifying.
however. to be assured that free coin
age Is entrenched in the senate COM
mfttee on finance. even II that arrange
ment was the result of political deal.
II was a deal; Senator Teller has an
nounced that it was. Mr.. Teller asserts
that the silver senators permitted the
republicans to organize the senate un-
der the express condition that the
friends of silver should have the ma
jority on the finance committee.
That arrangement is harshly criti-
cised by some of the republican organs
in the East, their view being that the
arrangement, as a piece of political
policy. will do the republicans more
harm than good. since the party is rec
ognized as the sponsor for the gold bug
policy To the advocates of free coin
age this view is neither here nor there;
the valuable part of the arrangement is
that IL gives silver the control of the
committee on finance in the senate; and
that is of some account.
Meanwhile. IL will be interesting 20

The Emp.ror's Idea.

Emperor William announces concur
sions respecting Transvaal affairs that
cut off debate. 1t will be remembered
that the emperor sent a message OF
congratulation to President Kruger,
thus stirring up a great deal OF crnl-
cism in London, the complaint being
that a treaty made years ago gives
Great Britain suzerainty over the
Transvaal and that the emperor's
direct communication with KRUGER
was therefore grossly out of character.
The emperor meets this criticism with
the fat proposition that he does not
recognize England's claim to suze-
rainty. lust as Salisbury blandly an
nounced that he did not recognize the
Monroe doctrine as being of force or
effect.
Under all the circumstances, the en-
peror's announcement is a novelty. All
the information in regard to the Trans
vaal since the recent disturbances
started implies that Englands claim is
well founded. OF course, that makes
no difference to the emperor OF Ger
many He will draw his own conclu-
sions and make his own announce
ments. VIGOROUSLY he is stickler for
the strictest observance of things dip
lomatic. The conclusion must be that,
IL he wants to bring on a quarrel with
England, he has started in right by
challenging England's claim to any
supremacy in the Transvaal.

''the other Jamison." The hero of the

newspaper editor. Soon after he COM
pleted his studies. he started out to
practice medicine in Glasgow. but a
little later he went to South Africa.
He scored successes there as a physi-
clan and was about TO return TO Scot
land when he was persuaded to enter

company. The doctor was the prime

DAVIS SCORES TRAITORS TO SILVER

Eastern cleveland Democrat Adj
vises washington as to Its Future

On Monday evening last, the court
room was filled to overlooking by the
citizens of Yakima, to listen to John X.
Rogers, candidate for governor on the
peoples party ticket, and Rev. Clark
Davis So many being unable to gain
admission to the court room, it was
deemed best for Mr.. Rogers to entertain
the crowd within, while Mr.. Davis ex-
pounded silver doctrine from the court
house steps to the big crowd outside.
Mr.. Rogers, good looking man of
perhaps fifty, minus the populistic long
hair and whiskers, is devoting his atten-
ton principally to state Issues, and gave
his audience the history Of state affairs
since Washington first became state
and placed in the hands of the republi-
can party. He laid special stress upon
the nisrule and extravaganza of the Me-
Graw administration, and the fact that
the state was being run in debt at the
rate of $1,000 per day.
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Davis then ex-
changed places, Mr.. Davis addressing the
audience in the house and Mr.. Rogers
the overflow meeting. Mr.. Davis is a
very pleasing and forcible speaker and
awak ened much enthusiasm from his
hearers. He dwelt principally upon the
financial issues of the campaign, ex-
planning and answering every charge
brought by the enemies Of silver, and
strongly denouncing the attitude OF the
republican leaders OF the present day,
who, previous to the st. Louis conven-
ton were known as its loudest 'vocates.
Taking 1t all in all iG was great night
for the silver people OF Yakima, and re-
suited in much good for the cause.

the wheat markets show an advance Of

gained during the present month, and in
one day, after the publication of crop
statistics of the world, the advance was
cents. AT northwest coast shipping
points 70 cents has been the ruling price
this week, and, with an estimated crop of
from twelve TO fifteen million bushels for
the state, and figuring the cost of pro.
duction at % cents per bushel, the profit
would be over s., 100000 for the farmers
of Washington and gain OF more than

season. The prices now prevailing are
the highest in four years and other CO.
reals have risen in sympathy. Flour is
jumping and in North Yakima $1.00 per
sack is now the ruling price. Some of
the local farmers are now talking of hold

satisfied with the current prices.
