Here is what Col. WatterSon says in
the Courier J0urnal OF The 4th inst:
"The issue, as it WAS made and has
been fought out, was clear and explicit
No effort was wanting to maintain it.
Nobody could by any possibility be mis-
taken about it. We may regret the
verdict, but we accept it. We shall
make no further effort to direct the party
course or counscis, or to share in any of
the responsibilities of party leadership,
having done our best, according to our
conscience and belief, to divert our
political associates from a policy and
procedure the end of which no man can
now foresec and the result of which we
very much fear, both as to the welfare
of the country and of the party. But We
are Democrats, not Republicans, and
mailing our flag to the masthead of
honest money, free trade and home rule,
we contribute whatever we are able to
the ascertainment and vindication of the
truth"

Evaporated Vegetables.

The product of the Puyallup factory
or drying potatoes and onions for the
Alaska trade seems to be adapted for
becoming staple for all demands re-
quiring an economy of weight and
space in supplying these important
articles of food. The operation is sim.
pie and the plant inexpensive. and the
product of superior quantity.
The method adopted by the Puyal-
lup Evaporating Co. is as follows:
The potatoes are placed in q sieve
tank and thoroughly washed with a
hose. They are then placed in steam
er for cooking. When cooked they
are carried to corps of women who
peel them. They are placed in box
and squeezed by a press through small
holes in steel plate upon sleeves which
fit like drawers into the kiln. Here
they are dried until they are crisp and
white. Then for the purpose of reduc-
ing the bulk they are ground into
meal and sewed into canvas sacks and
are ready for the market. The onions
are peeled, sliced through a cutter and
spread upon the sleeves. When dry,
they are white as snow and when
cooked become as savory as fresh
onions. While the company have
very successfully dried sweet corn,
sweet potatoes, Hubbard squash, fruits,
ETC., they find that they have enough
to do to supply the demand for pota-
toes and onions. The potatoes are
packed in Is pound duck sacks of the
size of fifty pound flour sacks. The
onions are packed in one, two, five and
ten pound cans. It takes three hours
to dry onions or potatoes. 1t takes
seven pounds of green potatoes to
make one pound of granulated pota-
toes and to make pound of evaporat-
ed onions it requires ten pounds of
green onions. The night shift at the
factory, consisting of three women and
four men, 60 to work at seven o'clock
in the evening when the day shift
quits and they work until the day
shift goes on again.

Vexatious Uncertainties of the Law.

The uncertainty Of the administra-
ton OF law, especially in criminal pro-
cedure, has led to many despicable re-
suits all over the land, in which the
people, under excitement, have taken
its execution into their own hands.
Their only plea in justification is that
the most hardened criminals have
frequently been allowed to escape
through the meshes of statutory or
constitutional enactmcnts. Two in
stances that have lately occurred in
this State, are in point:
An indictment against VIM. Her.
bert, lately on trial at Spokane, was
dismissed because it charged the crime
of horsc-stealing when the horse stolen
from the evidence submitted, proved
to have been a gelding.
The Supreme Court of this State
lately rev ersed conviction in the
Superior Court of Whitman county
for burglary, of A. 7. Williams, on the
ground that Sec. 90, Art. of the Con-
stitution declares that Gin criminal
prosecutions the accused shall have
the right to appear and defend in per
son." The higher court holds that
this implies the right to appear with
the use, not only of his mental, but
his physical faculties unfettered, unless
some impelling necessity demands the
prisoners restraint to secure the safety
of Others and his own custody. The
binding of the prisoner in irons was
thus held to be violation of the con-
stitutional guaranty. The case was
reversed simply because Williams was
brought into court with handouts on.
AS to what legitimate use he could
have made of his personal liberty, the
decision of the court is aggravatingly
silent.
1t really seems to the ordinary mind
that technicalities like these are frivo-
lous and they are surely destructive of
that confidence in judicial procedure
which is the most potent element for
its support. 1t is want of confidence
in the administration of law which
leads the people to take the enforce
ment of the penalty into their own
hands, and when malefactor is set
free on grounds which could not in
any manner have conduced to an I'M
fair trial, it does seem that the spirit
of the law has been prostituted even
though its letter under Judicial in.

cynical remark that language was
given to mankind to conceal his ideas.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, is agitating the
matter of teaching the ordinances and
laws applying to roads in the public
schools. The reason for this sugges-
ton is that in many cases the parents
are either ignorant or careless about
the most common provisions of such
ordinances. 1t is argued that if the
children are made to study the laws
they will be able TO prevent many
violations of them. Half of the acct
dents happening day by day are due
either to carelessness or to some viola
ton of the common laws of the road.

his bequest to the public library of the

AN EXCENTRIC CHARACTER AGAIN
To THE FRoNT.-Seneca G. Ketchum,
at one time editor of the Oympian,
has started paper at Spokane, called
the Saturday Press, which he denomi-
mates can unconventional paper, with
up-to-date notions of persons and
things" Seneca evidently looks upon
life as a joke and the world but for
all sorts of pranks. The Press is
unique, in some respects, and will
doubtless prove success if Ketchum
only continues to catch-on to matters
which please the public fancy. There
must be originality, however, in buf-
foonry and it keeps clown dancing
to hold the eye of his auditors.

A Case Of Libel.

The Tacoma Ledger in recent pro-
fusely illustrated edition undertakes
to tell the world how the altitude of
Mount Tacoma" has at last been cor
rectly ascertained from barometric OBJ
servations made by the late Professor
Edgar Mcclure, of the University of
Oregon, who was killed while engaged
In his arduous labors. Accompanying
this account is a picture of the dead
scientist, cut showing the barometer
which was strapped to his back and
broken in his terrible fall, and tabu-
lar exhibit of the elevations of various
stations reached by the Mazamas be-
tween the base and summit of the al
legged mountain.
Now it turns out that the Ledger's
windy story was only a falsehood, pure
and simple, from beginning to end,
as it fully appears from the entries
found by his friends in Professor Nc.
Clure's Textbook.
In the first place, Professor Mcclure
never assembled Mount Tacoma, that
checklist OF all Utopian myths, much
less did he attempt to find the alti-
tude of nonentity. On the con-
trary, the records show that the la
mented Professor accompanied the
Mazamas on &" a tour of exploration to
Mount Rainier, during the latter part
of July, 1897" And it is distinctly
stated in the preliminary specifications
when the expedition was being organ
lied that, "To Professor Edgar Nc
Clure, is assigned the task of determine
ing from barometric observation the
altitude of Mount Rainier, Washing
ton" Moreover, Professor E. H. Nc
Alister who fills the chair of Applied
Mathematics in the Oregon Univer-
sity, has just completed the difficult
work of reducing the observations re-
corded in the Textbook of the dead
scientist, and all these computations
have special reference to Mount Rain
Ter, and to no other mountain peak on
the globe, just as Mcclure himself, and
in his own handwriting, wrote down
his observations as those referring to
Mount Rainier only.
Now these are the facts concerning
the whole matter, and as such they
simply present a case of libel perpe-
trated against the dead.

HIS accidency must have strained
himself painfully in the delivery of his
thanksgiving proclamation. 1t is in
deed fearfully and wonderfully made.

the monkey climbing the pole, the less
exhibition he will make of himself in
an ungainly attitude.

The British ship Imperiuese, which
went to South America on an ex-

has returned, having been unsuccess-
full in her mission. A Victoria dis
patch of the 9Th inst. says that the
amount that Chas. Hartford claims to
have located at Cocos Island aggre-
gated $3O,OOO,00O in gold, silver and
precious stones; that Lieut.. Lee and
100 men of the expedition spent two
days digging for treasure under the
direction of Hartford. As fast as they
dug hole the water ran in and filled
it up. Several of those engaged in
the search say that the slate covering
of the hiding place of the treasure was
discovered. The weather being very
bad and anchorage entirely unsuitable
for such large vessel as the I'm.
periuese, Admiral Palliser decided to
abandon the search.

CHURCH OF orr SAVIOR.
vcstry of the New BrOoklnnd Parish
Elected.


Last night the congregation of the
Church of Our Savior. which was created
the parish of Brookland at the recent Epis-
copal diocesan convention held a meeting
at the church and elected the following
vestrymen: j. III. Small. ST., DR.. II. j. Pen
rod. W. H. Stalee. VIM. p. Armstrong.
Rudolph johnson and VIM. Miller.
This church has now severed all connec-
ton with its mother church, st. Paul's of
Rock Creek. of which ii was a mission,
and is an Independent parish with Rev. j.
T. Grove pastor. 1t will be the work
of the church now to begin to establish
missions of its own. and. Mr.. Grove
ability for missionary work. the congre-
CATION feels equal to the undertaking. The
fact that the church is but two years old
and has debt of only S2N0 Is good proof
of the earnest work of both congregation
and pastor. The new vestry elected last
night will hold Office for the remainder of
the church year. and. from the energy and
ability the gentlemen selected have shown,
since the very commencement of the move
ment to build up an Episcopal church.
every confidence Is placed In the proper
fulfillment of their duties.
OF the five church congregations in
Brookland the Church of Our Savior has
made the most rapid progress and develop
ment. The congregation started in small
way. and for some time held its services
In the town hall. 1t contained, however,
many active workers, and efforts to secure
a church building fund were early made.
The gift of a lot of ground by Mrs. Green
Clay Goodloe enabled the building of the
church edifice to begin much sooner than
was anticipated, and the modest, but sub
stantial. brick structure which was erected
attests the earnestness of the congregation.
