David Wilson Dead.

David Wilson, an o1d-time resident
of Puget Sound who will be we'll rem
embered by many of the early settlers
in the Hood canal district, died of old
age at 1:30 O'Clock last Sunday morn
ing in the King county hospital. He
had been quite we'll until few weeks
ago, and after short illness passed
away peacefully. Mr.. Wilson, who
was born in Hudson City, N. Y. In his
youth he followed the sea in the voca-
ton of whaling, having made a voy-
age from New Bedford, Mass, in the
early '4Os in the old Hibernia of that
port. In 1857 he came to Puget Sound,
where he had been living since, being
employed mostly IN the logging bust
ness on Hood canal. Several years
ago he became an inmate of the coun-
ty farm. He leaves no near relatives
in this country.-PI.

local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Ex-candidate Bryan took occasion
in his St. Louis speech to reiterate his
adherence to the new-iound principles
Of Democratic faith, government by
injunction, antitrust legislation and
arbitration in behalf Of labor. Some
body has taken occasion to look up
his record during the four years
which he served in congress, and
finds that during all that time, in
which he had opportunity to indicate
in practical way his friendship for
these subjects, he did not open his
lips in regard to them or take any
steps officially or otherwise in their
behalf.

The Farmers Loss.

Philadelphia Press; The Iowa Dies
Moines Register has done useful SER
vice by marshalling the loss which
the farmers sustained In the reduced
prices from 1898 to 1897 under Grover
Cleveland and free trade.
A part Of this loss was due to gen.
eral reduction Of prices, but only q
part and this reduction itself was due
to reduced consumption. With
100000 employees out Of work, the
per capita consumption Of wheat fell
In the United States from 5.9l bushels
In 1892 to BAL bushels in 1894, and
the consumption Of corn sank from
SO.SS bushels to 22.76 bushels. This
tremendous shrinkage in demand a.
iected the price Of all farm products
and they lost in value literally by
billions OF dollars.
Taking the crops and prices in 1892
and the crops and prices in the four
following years, and the loss reaches

with a paper that upholds the Kansas

The Presidents Message.

The REFLECTOR tonight gives Pres
ident McKinley's message to congress
in full. 1t should be real by every
one interested in this government OF
ours a. it outlines policies and plans
to be pursued which are Of vital mo-
ment.
TIE president deals mainly with
the currency and Cuba. Secretary
Cages plan for currency revision is
approved. He points out in strong
terms the difficulty Of maintaining
the parity Of our different forms OF
money under the present currency
system.
Congress Is asked to allow the pres
ent condition OF Cuban affairs to re-
main, and give Spain chance to try
her new scheme Of autonomy in the
island.
The president strongly urges the
ratification Of the Hawaiian annexa-
ton treaty, believing it will be Of
vast benefit to us to acquire the
islands.
The intention Of the government to
bid at the sale OF the Union Pacific
railroad Is declared and congress Is
asked to make provision for the con-
summation Of the purchase should
the government be the purchaser.
On the whole the message is Just
such an honest, Straightforward doc
ument, couched in simple language,
as was expected by McKinley's ad.
mirers. There is no attempt at ora
torical display or Of hidden meaning
in well turned periods. but the words
are SO arranged as to cause no obscur-
ity Of meaning or ambiguity.
The message is in keeping with the
past utterances Of the president and
the country has double cause for con-
graduation in Its selection oithe chief
magistrate.

The AMT" Party.

The Populist party will make no
more campaigns on the free silver
question, says the Hutchinson News.
We presume that next year it will 60
through the motions Of holding three
conventions, Populist, Democratic
and Free Silver, will call the result
ing aggregation "the allied forces"
and will appeal to all friends OF free
silver" to vote the ticket OF Leedy,
stryker & Co. But all this will be
merely sham, an attempt to hold
votes. The real fight will be made
ON something else, something new,
something that looks and sounds NICE
but which cannot be compelled to I'M
dergo an investigation.
Just now It looks as II the new bat
tie cry would be "anti, "anti-railroads'
anti. banks, anti-insurance companies,
anti-everything and anti.everybody
that has q dollar or expects to get
one. This combination Of complaints,
this mixture OF walls and woes, will
be expected to "catch votes" Rail-
roads, insurance companies and banks
arc unpopular, or are supposed to be.
The Populist orator can denounce
them, can abuse them and can invite
everybody who has a grievance or a
prejudice to join in the movement to
down them. He can promise that ii
the Populist party is successful it will
insure for nothing, loan money Free
and pay people to ride on government
railroads, just as it promised lot OF
stuff in the Abilene platform and then
repudiated it after election. With a
slight change Of subject the Populists
will endeavor to repeat the film fam
of 1896.
The Populist party is an anti-or-
psnizstion. You can't think OF any.
thing that it is not against, II votes
are at stakes. 1t never does anything,
never tries to carry out Its pledges,
but hopes to win each succeeding
year, by simply being anti-something
else and letting the past 60.
We don't think the Populists can
work the state Of Kansas again. Elk
perience Is q hard school, but we
choose to learn in 1t and 1t is our
guess that the lesson has been well
learned. An "anti" party cant win
when the people are hopeful, confident
successful.
