Horace Boies of Iowa is the leading
free silver candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination. Boies is the
bighearted patriot who declared not
long ago that wages are too high in this
country, and that the best way to re-
duce them is TO adopt the free coinage
of silver. He would poll an immense
wOrkingman's vote.

Yes, many; some of whom will
stand by it through thick and thin.
They feel keenly existing evils, and
will remedy them if possible though
at great expense and sacrifice. Then
comes the class referred to just above
who are anxious to see the thing
done but want some one else to do
it. When it comes to the real en-
counter they fight shy want to be
sure first what their neighbors will
do, and have a great deal to say
about past failures. They will be
in the procession when once it gets
we'll started, but they will never un-
furl the banner and take the place of
leaders. Next to them is the class
(not a large one it is to be hoped)
that stands by and sneers What do
these strait-laced people want {?
They will find that they have bitten
off more than they can chew. Do
they really expect to reverse the
traditions of generations and purify
the community? Well, they want
the law enforced, and vice and crime
repressed. That is all, but that is
enough, and it is the thing for which
courts of justice are established,
for which policemen are appointed,
and armed with the laws majesty for
which lock-ups are provided and law
yers are deemed an important class
in the community. What do we
want of lawyers, if laws are to be
dead letter?
The final class are those who op-
pose the movement with all their
might. 1t means interference with
their courses. They can see disas-
ter ahead. 1t is when law is lax,
and public sentiment is low that they
flourish. So they ply their trades
and get an unholy living.
Law and Order does not mean
taking hold of every existing
evil at once. This would set the
whole community by the ears and
defeat itself. There is reason in all
things. Take in hand the gross Of
tenders first The great majority
can be combined against them. Les
ser offenders may be dealt with la
ter. Perhaps they will see the hand
writing on the wall, and take them
selves out of the way. This often
happens. A little courage and reso-
luton might give us a moral revolu-
ton without once resorting to legal
process, though this would always
be seen looming up in the back
ground. Shall we have a better
state of things or shall the rough
element have its heel upon our
necks? CITIZEN.

FROZEN PEACHES. When fresh
peaches can be had or if canned
peaches are used take a two quart
can of fruit and mash through a
wire seive. Add one quart of water
sweeten to taste and freeze.
This will make four quarts of
peach ice of which some people are
very fond.
Any other fruit prepared in this
way is equally good and preferred by

Edison's Invention of a Portable Mschin, for SMrncnus.


 Edison's Invention of Portable Machine
 for Surgeons.
 Orange, N. J., March 26.--A few weeks ago Thomas A. Edison abandoned fluo- rescent photography, and since then he has devoted his time in his laboratory at West Orange to searching for means of making x rays assist the naked eye in seeing through solid flesh. He ex- perimented with 1900 chemicals and minerals until he discovered that tung- state of calcium was the material for his purpose He found that by cover- ing paper with crystals of the chemical he was enabled to see through the arm and eight inches of solid wood, and that 1t was also possible to see through three feet of cork, all with the naked eye applied to g roughly constructed apparatus called by him a fiuotoscope.
 After discovering that tungstate of calcium served as 0 potential for the X rays, the inventor continued to eXperl- ment with that chemical, and yesterday afternoon he stated that he had con- trived portable X ray apparatus. The new apparatus can be constructed for little money. MT. Edison intends to show it at an electrical exhibition to be given in New York soon.
 The new machine will permit hospital surgeons and physicians to examine an injured limb and to see the interior of the arm or leg while using their instru- ments in operation, so that no unnec- essary cutting or probing will be done,

 White Plains, March 26.-The inves- tigatlon in the case of Superintendent Pierce of the Westchester Temporary Home for Destitute Children was con- tinued this morning in the supreme court chamber at the county court house in this town.
 Ex-Judge Mills for the defense called Willie Schlobohm, son of Alderman Schlobohm of Yonkers, to the stand. The boy had been committed to the home for running away from his fath- CTS house. He testified that while in the institution he had been punished several times for insubordination, but never more severely than he deserved. He also said that he had often seen other inmates of the home in chains, but that the boys were generally just as happy in chains as out of them.
 While on his good behavior Willie had been made monitor of the bath room. lie testified this morning that never had he seen the body of child dis figured or even scared. All punish ment had been administered because Of misconduct, and when boy was put in chains it was for the purpose of preventing him from running away from the institution.

They have applied to the probate court to have MT. Warren removed as the guardian of the chil- dren. Yesterday morning Attorney c, S. Hamilton, who appears for Attorney Warren, asked that the hearing as- signed for next Monday on the matter be postponed for week.

it is a great help to the small farmer.
Sorghum and broom corn both do remark
ably we'll and should be raised in COM
mercial quantities.
Assuming now that the great desirable
ity of irrigated lands for homes is undis-
puted, the most important questions for
this convention are: How muca of such
lands have we in the state of Washing
ton? Have our irrigated lands been farmed
long enough to fully demonstrate their
character and ascertain the climatic con-
diticns surrounding them? Some Of the
earliest settlements of the Northwest were
upon these irrigated lands. The bars or
low benches along the Snake river, around
Lewiston. and also along the Columbia at
various points from the British line to
The Dalles, and along the Wenatchee
river near its confluence with the Colum-
bia, and in the Wa,la Walla and Yakima
valleys In fact, wherever there was a
tract of irrigable land easily watered the
picreers. realizing its advantages, located
upon such land at once. We find orchards
aud cultivated farms in all these different
localities that are from Is to 30 years old.
The northern latitude Of this state, the
well marked seasons Of all irrigated dis
tricts, even though the winters are short,
gives to all fruit grown here that perfec-
ton of flavor and quality that can never
be realized in southern climate. These
facts have been demonstrated by many
years experience, and today there are
many thousands Of acres Of irrigated
orchards in the state of Washington.
A very careful canvass is being made OF
Yakima county by the Commercial Club
and 3,400 acres of orchards-about half of
which is in full bearing, being over five
years old, and the rest being under five
years old-llas already been reported, and
Mr. Medill, the gentleman in charge Of the
work, expects the total acreage will amount
to nearly 5000 acres.
Opportunities for securing irrigated lands
are found all over the state between the
Cascades and Rocky mountains, and the
climatic conditions are similar in the yari-
Gus localities. Several small bitches az
