SOCIETY DIRECTORY,
A Bright Outlook.

The bountiful crops. with which
dame nature has responded to the
efforts of the husbandman, the per-
feot weather for harvest and the ex-
cellent grazing, together with the
high prices for all the products of
the farm, makes the outlook very
bright indeed.
The prosperity of the farmer is
the prosperity of all, if he is success
jul it is possible for all legitimate
business to prosper, And thus it is,
in order to have success the farmer
must first succeed. If you will care
fully look over the situation you
will find that all of the industries
that are set in motion, all of the fac
tory wheels that revolve, all the
cars that run, or ships that sail re-
cieve their impulse from those who
till the soil. The hand that guides
the pillow is the hand of destiny.
Political parties may legislate in
the interest of q favored few, may
heap burdens upon the producer,
may favor those who monopolize,
and who form trusts and combines
and utterly fail to legislate in his
interest but with all this, the man
that rows and reaps, and digs and
delves is the man that makes it pos.
sible to prosper, Is the man on whom
we all rely, the force that moves the
business world along.

If the United States annexes the
Hawaiian islands it will add to it's
possessions a country that in one
respect at least is more civilized
than itself. Hawaii has in success
full operation postal savings bank
system. There is on deposit with
the postal bank about 81 100000,
which is pretty good showing for
country of 100000 population,
mostly illiterate natives and foreign
laborers.
If annexation of the islands were
to carry with it the extension to this
country of the postal savings bank
system in operation there, that will
be strong argument for annexa-

Admiral BeardsIee Will Prevent Az
gressiOns by the Japanese.
Chicago, July ia special dispatch
from Washington to the Times Herald
says:
The administration has taken steps to
keep its grip on Hawaii. Any aggressive
interference on the part of Japan will re-
suit in the landing of marines and the
hosting of the American flag, with or
without the ratification of the pending
annexation treaty. The administration,
realizing that some crisis might arise
while the treaty still hangs fire in the
senate, has taken steps to be prepared for
any emergency. Rear Admiral Beardslee
will have, when the next steamer arrives
in Honolulu instructions giving him pow
er to act at the first sign of aggression on
the part of Japan, or trouble of any Kind
with which the local authorities are not
able to cope. He will be given sufficient
force to carry out the program that
events may force upon him.

THE EXPORTS OF FRUIT
Record of 1897 TrebIes That OF Pre-
NiOuS Years.

Spokane July I6.-"The express com
panies of this city have handled three
times as much fruit this year as any year
since the establishment of agencies in
Spokane.
This astonishing statement IS made by
an express agent, who has examined the
records since 1889 and finds that he has
made no eNtravagant claims. \ conser-
yative estimate of the valuc of the fruit
shipped from here, first cost, is $4,000
for two months. That is the sum nctted
by the fruit raiser, and does not include
the express charges on the profits of the
commission men. OF this amount Spo,
kane consumed two-tifths, the country to
the north two-ffths and other sections
one-ffth. 1t does not include the local
consumption in the Palouse, in Walla
Walla, North Yakima and other towns,
1t represents the value of fruit which j.
sent to Spokane to be used here and for
export.

Resolutions.

Detroit, Mich, July DENOMINATIONS
of league officers and location OF the next
convention were the topics of active dis
cussion among the delegates to the ma
tional league of republican clubs
The resolutions which were reported
declare "Unfaltering allegiance to the
principles and policies OF the party OF
protection. sound money, reciprocity and
patriotism as expressed in the st Louis
platform. The faith which prompted the
national selection of William Mckinley
and a republican congress has been JUS
tilted and we congratulate the country
upon evidences of returning prosperity.
The platform commends the president
and congress for sending monetary
commission to European nations; for IN
augurating measures for the annexation
of Hawaii and for their attitude on the
Cuban matter that has tended to lessen
Spanish atrocities in that island Con
gress is commended for fostering the beet
sugar industry by legislation. The
question of equal suffrage to women is
commended to the members of the league
as matter of education. President
