THOSE who know Archbishop Walsh
of Ontario either personally or by repu-
tation will bear witness that he is a
man of very broad mind and progress
sive views. He has lately created
sensation by q published letter, in
which he says that the Manitoba school
question ought to be settled in Mani
toba. This is directly in the teeth of
the claims made by the archbishop's
co-religionists in Quebec, and is prac
tically an abandonment by the highest
English-speaking Roman Catholic
ecclesiastic in Canada of the extreme
claims of the church.-Press Times.

of an individual spends more than
he earns, his credit is not likely to be
very good in the community where he
resides. 1t is just so with the United
States. 1t is living beyond its in

theory is necessary to account for the
unfortunate financial plight in which
our country finds itself: The homely
illustration which we have cited above
tells the entire story. The simplest,
plainest citizen can understand it.
We were troubled by no national deficit
during the Harrison regime. The
Republican administration ended with
a balance on the right side. The Nc

THE Edmunds Tyre give the follow
ing bit of excellent advice: "a man
who owns all the way from so to 500
acres of land in this state and under
takes to hold it until he gets his price,
will, sooner or later nine cases out of
ten), see it sold under the hammer for
delinquent taxes, penalties, etc, and
in the end witness his family making
poor farm garden. Sell Off your sur
plus lands at figure that is within
the bounds of reason and the pocket
book Of the poor man, and thus enable
the industrious, hard-fsted yeoman to
develop the country He will help you
to pay taxes, and by improving his
own property will advance the price of
yours. BY all means sell off your sur
plus acreage, even if it must be done
at sacrifice; you will be richer and
happier in the long run"

THE lumbermen of the Pacific coast
have formed y trust that will not be
looked upon with very much disfavor
Il is q we'll known fact lumbermen
nave been making practically nothing
on their recent contracts, and it was
necessary this step he taken. Our
lumber and coal industries must be
protected. When logs are in demand
and a fair price paid for them, every
resident in Western Washington feels
the effect OF lt.-Sidney Independe,. t..
Corporation and combination, now
a-days, seems to be the best method
for the protection of any line of trade
or business, as well as for labor. If
the lumber trust can succeed in COM
handing a better price for its product,
then the lOgger's combination should
be able to secure better figures for the
logs, and be able to pay better wages
" ifso 10 HlOSb W NC ICSICblCll III GIlo CX-
listing conditions, is the fact that Ma
son County is being Invested of it's
wealth of timber and receiving practic-
ally no returns, aside from providing
labor. 1t will not be many years be-
fore operations will be transferred be-
yond our borders, and our timber
heritage quandered-when some
means should have been devised to
make it a factor in the material devel-
opment of the country. Unfortunate-
ly the problem seems difficult one.
and its solution is hardly within the
hands of the people. But as logged
OFF lands have practically little value as
producing taxes, the timbered lands
should be assessed at higher figures
than the ordinary classes of land
The timber constitutes the chief value
Of a good percentage of our lands aud
should pay its full share of the public
revenue, while it lasts, and the loggers
should receive such prices as to admit
of paying decent stumpage rates in re-
turn for the timber.

The big lumber trust, which has
been in course OF organization for
some time, has at last been consum-
mated. Il is the most gigantic trust
ever organized on the coast. People
are naturally suspicious Of such COM
binations. However if they can and
will do as they claim, that is, get bet
ter prices for the lumber, increase the
wages OF employees and pay more for
logs, we cannot see that any one will

WILSON LAW AND MCKINLEY
LAW.

The title of the Mckinley law is:
Gan act to reduce revenue and to
equalize duties on imports, and for
other purposes, says the Inter
Ocean. Nevertheless it was assaulted
by the democratic press as though
it were an act to increase revenues
at time when the prudent admin
istration of affairs by republican
presidents and congresses had Gre
ated yearly surplus, 1t accom-
plished it's purpose by reducing or
repeating tariff duties on such man
ufactures as by a long course of
protection had become wholly or
partially self-sustaining and by ad-

WEBSTER defines hypnotism as
"a form of sleep or somnambulism
brought on by artificial means in
which there is an unusual suspen-
sion of some powers, and an unus-
ual activity OF others. 1t is induced
by an action upon the nerves,
through the medium of the senses,
as in persons of very feeble organi-
zation, by gazing steadily at a bright
object held up before the eyes"
From the same authority it is
learned that to fascinate means ITO
operate on, by some powerful, ire
sistible charm. 1t is almost uni
versally believed that serpents can
stupefy by fascination" TO which
does the free silver mania belong?
Is it the effect of hypnotism or of
fascination?

In the fusion of political parties
it is generally supposed that each
party will be benefited by the al
lance, and that there will be some
thing like an equable distribution
of spoils. The endorsement of Bry-
an, the democratic nominee for
president, by the pops, was para
mount to fusion, except that the
fusion was all on one side. 1t was
expected by the populists that Sc
wall would withdraw, and that the
fusion ticket would read Bryan &
Watson" But the democrats have
totally ignored the self-sacrifcing
pops, and poor Watson is, and will
remain, nonentity. The demo-
Gratis want the populist vote, but
will concede nothing for it, and the
populists will gain nothing through
the elevation of Bryan to the presi-
dency.

ding to the duties on industries
that evidently needed more protec-
ton.
Thus it increased the duty on
tin plate, and by so doing created
An American industry that gave
employment to thousands. 1t re-
duced the duties on most forms OF
manufactured iron. 1t increased
the duties on pottery ware, and gave
a new impetus to ceramic art in the
United States. 1t increased the
duty on woods, and multiplied the
flocks and feeces Of the country.
1t added to the duty on shoddy,
and by so doing well nigh banished
that filthy and disease-engendering
substitute for wool from the Amer
lean market. 1t repealed the duty
on sugar, and by so doing it brought
sugar down to twenty pounds for
a dollar" for the first time in Am
erican history, But while cheaper
ing the price to the consumer by
repeal of the duty it stimulated the
production by a bounty upon every
pound of sugar made in the United
States; this bounty, virtually, if
not specifically, was payable out of
the surplus of revenue that re-
manned after the reduction of duties.
1t can not be too clearly under
stood that the Mckinley law did
not add to the volume of revenue;
it reduced it. It's merit lay in its
wise and equitable REIMBURSEMENT of
tariff duties. 1t admitted larger
number of articles to the free list
than any previous law had done.
1t strengthened the weaker indus
tries, while it withdrew some meas
ure of aid from the stronger ones.
1t was the most equitable revenue
law ever devised.
The men that repealed it have
brought deficit where there prev
iously had been surplus, and they
have done this by crushing the
weaker industries, while leaving
the stronger ones as we'll protected
as they found them. The McKin-
ley law was constructive, the Wilson
law is destructive in character

COWS AND CASH.

Every industry in community
that leads to the direct conversion
of product into cash, without the
Intervention of the middle man,
must necessarily be Of greater pro-
portionate value to such commun-
ity than one in which the gross
profits are divided between COM
mission merchants, public carriers
and others. In this category can
be classed a creamery, or separat
ing station, for it directly consumes
the product of the farmers COW. 1t
is therefore an industry which, in
a farming community, every effort
should be put forth to foster and
encourage. Through an unfortun-
ate combination of circumstances
the separating station at the college
creamery has been idle for some
months past, but it is pleasure to
learn that that this source of a
material monthly income to the
farmer is to be again opened for
business. AS soon after the first
of October as the lessee, Mr.. j. r.
Payne of Palouse, receives patron
age sufficient to cover the expenses
of conducting the business he will
commence operating the creamery.
We are informed that Mr.. Payne
offers to pay 49, cents pound for
butter fat during the month Of Oc-
tober, and that he will make settle
ments on the 10Th of each month
for the month previous. Mr., Payne
is to be in Pullman today, when he
can be found at the office of NJ. J.
Chapman, in the old Mercantile
Co.'S counting house by all persons
interested in seeing that this in
dustry, which if properly supported
will prove an ever increasing source
of profit to the community, is set in
motion again. There is a tide in
the affairs of men which taken at
the food leads on to fortune. !"
Such a tidal wave has again come
within the reach of the farmers
tributary to Pullman; let them see
to it that they fairly launch them
selves upon it, and they will find
that they quickly reap the benefit.
