Tardy Repentance.

The Olympia Standard manfully
supported John r. Rogers in last
years campaign, and ever since has
been repenting the grievous error says
the Chehalis Nugget. The ancient
sinners who, when they saw the light,
hied themselves to the city walls and,
after carving themselves with dull
butcher knives, put on sackcjoth and
ashes, suffered in the flesh, but had an
easy time of it, compared with the ed!-
tor Of the Standard, whose intellect
has resolved itself into a swishing cat
o'-nine- tails. a ring tailed scorpion and
thirteen hundred and forty-three hmm
gry hornets, all rolled into one, and
this terrible instrument OF torture
scarifes, castigates and hagellates our
venerable friend day and night, both
inside and out. The following para
graph from the Standard on the Uni
versity trouble, vigorous as it is, out
family expresses what Editor Murphy
feels: =,
"To say that this stupendous muddie
is unfortunate, is feeble expression
it is disgracefui; it is prostituting and
running the time-honored educational
interests of our fair state, and it is al
ready the butt of ridicule among news
papers of the north Pacific coast.
Populism, hierarchy and state execu-
tive incompetency, constitute the mis-
cradle compound that now rankles in
the body polite of the university, and
nothing short of an old fashioned ca.
thartlc, administered the old fashioned
way will ever bring order out of the
confusion"

JOHN r. MCLEAN. of the Cincinna Al

JOHN r. MCLEAN, of the Cincinn att
Enquirer, in late editorial said that
Abraham Lincoln was one of the
most remarkable men that ever lived"
and proceeds to give lot of fulsome
fiattery about his honesty. This same
man during the dark days of the civil
war was calling this same man a
butcher" "robber," "tyrant," and
every other castardly name that his
fertile brain could suggest. 1t is sing
ular how wise men change their tactics
NOT minds-for the fellows who
thought he was "tyrant" then think
so still, but they know it would not be
good for them to express their real
feelings. Now these same men quote
Lincoln as secessionist, free silver
lite, and the best democrat that ever
lived, with the sole exception of one

PREACHER w. T. Ford, whose trial
before the Methodist conference at
Everett in August, on charge of Sc
duction, resulted in his dismissal from
the ministry, has been convicted in
the civil court at Seattle, the jury re-
turning a verdict of guilty, after a
long trial, of which the daily papers
were full OF the disgusting details. 1,
is reported that new trial is IN view
and, if SO, it is to be hoped that it will
be held behind closed doors. Public
sentiment seems divided as to the
guilt of Ford, but, if new trial does
not intervene, he will probably receive
a penitentiary sentence.

RUssIA's exports of grain, according
to latest advises, have amounted to
only about 65 per cent. this year of
those of 1896, the total of all kinds of
grain amounting to 100000 bush
els during the first eight months of
the present year. When there is add
ed to this fact the extreme shortage in
the crops of this year, it is apparent
that Russia will do little if any ex-
porting and supplying the markets 81
the world, to which India, Australia,
and Argentina will contribute little, if
anything, thus leaving the United
States the chief food supply of those
sections which have to go outside
their own territory for grain. This
accounts for the advance in the price
OF wheat, and sustains the claim of
the Republicans in the last fall cam
paign that the prices OF wheat depend
upon supply and demand, and are not
controlled by or related to the use of
silver.

A Valuable Fruit Paper.

As fruit is rapidly becoming the
leading industry of the Northwest,
and as this country can easily get to
the front ranks if the farmers will on =
ly take hold and push things, we have
made arrangements to do far more
than our share toward pushing the
country forward in this respect and
will do more if the farmers will show
the proper spirit of enterprise. There
is now published at Portland, not only
the most valuable but the only fruit
paper of America which admits no
reading matter to its columns except
that relating to fruits-their culture,
care, marketing, etc., presented in
such a form by the prominent fruit
writer's of the Northwest and America
that none cnn read and study it with
out becoming proficient fruit grower S.
We will give this fine 32-page paper to
all paid-up subscribers of the JOUR
MAI. for IS cents. Call at this Office and

pie Of the forgery. copied from the poll
book:
a1I a..

It shows three forgeries: First,
total for one of the Democratic candi.
dates changed from 726 to 926; second
and third, two. 9's from the hundreds
place in the totals Of two other Demo-
cratic candidates, both of which show
plainly that an co. has been set on top
Of the az" the second one being rather
heavily shaded in an attempt to dis
guise the short stem with which the
z in all cases, from first to last, in the
returns begin. All these additions to
the original sevens were certainly
made by different hand with fine
pen and an ink not SO black. These
changes were made, too, in great haste,
as proven by the fact that one page Of
totals was missed in the change and
stands today on the returns as 726.
Also by the occasional missing Of a
total on other pages, and by the face
disclosed by an inspection of the re-
turns that the forgeries are not neatly
or skillfully done.
The Columbus forgery was done
more at leisure. The work there was
of an expert penman, and could not
have been accomplished in hurry
and have been done SO neatly. Care
was taken to give the addition of the
figure the proper angle. This addition
consisted of top to the figure 2,
changing It to 5, as illustrated by the
following cut:

The tallies on this sheet were also
added in the same careful manner,
while in the Cincinnati case the addi-
tons to the tallies have the appearance
of haste and different hands, SO that
the place where the forger began to
add the two hundred tallies can be
seen the moment the book is opened.
The additional names in the poll
book, too, were written with fine
pointed pen, and with ink a shade
lighter than that used elsewhere, ex-
cept that it is the same shade as that
used in adding the 80" to the rs to
make 9s. Then, too, the names on the
poll-book that seemed to be genuine, at
the same time that they are written in
a heavy hand, and in very back ink,
are also generally written in full But
beginning with the forged names only
an initial letter is given of the first
name, and that generally j, so that
d Zen is succeed each other down
the columns, on tbs loose foolscap
sheets.
Such is the return" from one of the
election precincts which one of the
Democratic clerks counted without
hesitation, thereby moving toward the
perfection and completion of the work
of the forger by counting 926 for Dem
ocratic candidates in every instance
where the forger had omitted to change
the sevens to mines. His reason was
that 929 "arreered to be the proper
return hlack to him had come to be
white and his way Of correcting the
mistake was to add 200 Democratic
votes.
1t is positively amusing to look at
this return. knowing that it was in
tended to pass as legal return and
be counted The audacity, the bung-
ling rascality. the silly-pated deviltry
there exhibited rendered so pitiful by
their failure to mccall the crime per-
petrated that they cease to alarm, and
provoke first scorn, and then mirth.
1t is this funny forgery upon which
the Democracy depend in their claim
for the senate, and that makes it a
grave matter InGeed

TO BE RESUMED.
China Clock Cases Will Again Be
Made In America.

Prior to the passage of the Wilson,
German tariff monstrosity the manu-
facture of china clock cases was one of
the industries OF East Liverpool, Ohio.
American worlSingmen were given en-
ployment and American capital found
profitable investment, under the Nc
Kinley tariff law, in the baking of
many kinds of pottery, but none, per-
haps, is more familiar as a household
decoration than these same china clock
cases, as they are called by the trade
After the passage Of the mongrel tar
iff law which was conceived and infliot-
ed by the Democratic congress of 1894,
no more china clock cases were made
in this country. American manufac-
turers coule not compete with the
cheap labor of European countries, and
the clock-case industry died when the
pottery manufactures of this country
got knocked in the head by the Will
son-Gorman law. Then dealers in
those lines Of goods went abroad, and
the china clock cases which the peOr q
OF the United States have been buying
In the past three years all were made
In Bonn, Dresden and other foreign
pottery-making centers.
1t is a matter of pride to the people
OF Ohio especially, and to the American
people only in lesser degree. thM un-
der the Dingley law enacted by the
present Republican congress a few
weeks ago the pottery Industries of this
country will be revived. 1t will no
longer be necessary to go to Bonn or to
Dresden for china clock case. Ameri-
can worliingmen will make 1t of Amer
icaai materials for American purchasev
That much more money will be kept al
home. and that many more American
babies will have bread and shoes and
! books.
