splendid rendition OF the beautiful
poem Which Shall 1t Be-"
A. H. Chambers has the prize black
berry vine on his place on upper Main
street near Judge Anders residence.
The vine is of the evergreen variety
and covers abont fifteen feet OF ground
So far this year, ten gallons OF berries
have been taken from the vine and
put up" and in addition, $40 worth
have been sold and it is estimated that
as many more remain on the vine.
Ii any one can show greater profit
than this off OF u feet of ground in

The Jack Republicans met at the
Olympia Hotel Saturday and elected
themselves delegates to the Tacoma
Convention, which meets in that city
on the Goth inst. The list is as fol.
lows: E. Morsbach, Geo. B. Mason of
Bucoda; A. E. Young and J. B.
Flynn of Little Rock; J. HI. Norris,
Edmund Rice, 7. N. Allen, A. J..

uer. The involuntary exclamation OF
the boy when shown the triplets that
had just taken up their domicile in
the family crib, odd any get away"
comes to the mind when we reflect
upon the largeness OF the representa-
ton in proportion to the smallness of
the party" that names them.
The Republicans held the only large
meeting of their campaign, Friday
night, in Olympia Theater. 1t was
addressed by Herm an Craven, of Ia
coma. and Harry Wilson of Spokane,
with Mrs. Worthington as a fnality,
and some of the listeners regarded her
effort as like the juvenile appetite turns
to, the last course, desert, as the best
OF the whole. Mr.. Craven's remarks
were orthodox stock-in-trade goldbug
arguments, every one OF which had
been duly sampled, inspected and
branded by his hearers, and Mr.. Will
son might have kept the attention OF
his auditory better had he not endeav-
ored to show self-possession by con-
tinually walking to.and-fro, which on
the contrary betrayed self-conscious-
ness. His discourse was to some ex-
tent repetition of the ideas of the
former speaker. The glee club was
the best part Of the performance; their
melody was excellent but their selec.
ton of songs perfectly execrable.

"FoR my part" says Col. Robert G..
Ingersoll, Il do not ask any inter-
ference on the part of the government
except to undo the wrong it has done.
l do not ask that our money be made
out of nothing, nor do l expect that
prosperity may be born out of paper,
but do ask for the remonetizationo of
silver. Silver was demonetized by
fraud. 1t was an imposition upon
every solvent man, fraud upon

was done in the interest of vvarice and

WALK! On You, WALK!-Harry
Wilson has been dubbed "The Walk
ing.Man OF the Republican Party"
since his remarkable debut at Olympia
Theater, Friday night. He must have
walked at least twenty miles during

have read De Vere's character poem
OF the tramp Walk, damn you, walk )"
as to whether or not Harry WAS not

ance. De Vere's tramp had made q
fortune by hard labor in the camp and
spent it in riotous living amid the
gilded throng. 1t was when he set
out on his tie-passage trip East, he is
supposed to soliloquize as the poet has
reduced to numbers. Each verse is d
review OF some CLEAN of good fortune,
ending with establishment for having
thrown away the benefits bestowed by
beneficient providence and the peni-
tential admonition Walk, damn you,
walk" Whether there was similar
chestnut bur under the crupper of
Harry Wilson or not which accelerated
his motions, certain it is that the rear
OF his pants cut "bullet patchings,"
all during his unfortunately dreary
passage over the Sahara of mental
stagnation.

distances, where these people meet
and exchange exciting converse upon
subjects such as we have referred to,
and which they are not capable OF
understanding; besides this they
should be at work; they spend too
much money, often going to a hotel
and laying out an entire days income
on one dinner. Gentlemen like Mr..
Aston or Mr.. Rockefeller, who by ap-
plication and economy have amassed
a competence, never would think of
spending q days income for one meal.
How can workmen expect to indulge
in luxuries, idle away their time and
prosper? We believe for their own
good, if some beneticent law could be
passed which would limit excursions
and confine the lower classes to the
township in which they live, they
would be much better off at the end
of the year. These local laws, we pre-
sumo, must be put into effect by each
State, say through the governors, but
governors could be appointed by com.

facturers resident within the State,
