The Tariff on Logs.


The Vidette wants the Herald to ex-
plain how tariff on logs would i'm
prove the logging interests on Grav's
harbor. That's easy. If there is a So
tariff on logs the Sound lumbermen
could not import cheap % Canadian
logs, don'tcher know. Then the Gray's
harbor loggers could ship their output
to the Sound by rail at profit, dom
cher see; and thus relieve the situation
here. That's the way the tariff often
works-makes the consumer pay a
long unnecessary rail haul.-Aberdeen
Herald.
The Herald is evidently trying to be
"funny"

According to the newspapers, an
Ohio husband became the happy
father OF seven children not long ago.
Of the seven all lived but one. It is
to be hoped he laid in a supply OF
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, the
only sure cure for Group, whooping-
cough, colds and coughs, and so in
sured his children against these
diseases. For sale by all druggists.

ing of the inmates. The band re-
NAMED about an hour, playing half a
dozen pieces. Before leaving Warden
Wolfer mounted the band stand to
thank the members and proposed three
cheers for them which was heartily re-
sponded to.
Everything went off pleasantly in
the yard. At 1890 two large tri-
colored balloons were sent up and
sailed majestically due north. At one
o'clock all hands fell in line and
marched to the dining hall where a
dinner as follows was in readiness:
Roast Veal Mashed Potatoes
Green Peas Lettuce
Radishes Young Onions
Light Buns Fruit Cake
Coffee with Milk and Sugar
After dinner each inmate of the first
grade was allowed three cigars; men,
bers of the second grade, two, and of
the third grade, one. At half-past
four lemonade was passed around to
all hands. The men enjoyed them
selves as thoroughly as was possible in
prison. The officers have expressed
themselves highly in favor of the gen.
tIemanly conduct of all the men
throughout the day. Everybody was
happy and there were no "big heads
or sickly stomachs on Tuesday morn
ing to detract from the pleasures past.

and the severity Of . new and rigorous
climate. Conditions changed, however,
aud . more prosperous and happy state
of affairs obtained generally. and the
Governor OF the little colony proclaimed
q period Of thanksgiving. Several days
were spent in prayer. which were fol-
lowed by q joyous feast. to which even
the Indians were invited, ell joining IN
universal hospitality.
Founded on Q beautiful sentiment. The
day is one Of the ~fairest and brightest ID

An ELECTION DECISION.

A very important constitutional ques-
tion has just been settled by the Supreme
Court Of Wyoming in the Carbon county
election case. An election was contested
by the Democratic nominees for County
Clerk, Treasurer, and Commissioner,
against the Republican ticket on the
ground that lis Finns, whose votes bad
been counted for the latter ticket, could
not read in English. Their votes had
been accepted, as they could read the
Constitution in their own language. The
decision of the court, however, estab-
fishes the rule that foreigners must be
required to read the Constitution in the
English language in order to vote.

ilton, Nevsds, early in 1869. The next
Summer the beautiful wife of Mr.. Ayres
sickened and died, and then be prscti-
calIy ceased to assert himself. The paper
was swsmped after q few months longer
struggle, and then Ayres went out OF
sight for two or three years until ii was
announced that he had married q veal
thy native California lady, who owned a
fine estate outside Of Los Angeles. Then
he bought the Herald of Los Angeles,
and conducted it until bis health broke
down two years ago. We believe that
since then he has. when able physically,
been writing q history Of California. But
his force as 9 man aud writer went ont
in Hamilton. He never should have
gone to the desert. He knew nothing OF
the ways OF men in 3 new mining camp.
and he always had the air there OF a man
in an enemy's country whose chips bad
been burned and all chances OF escape
cut of, and when he got away, he was
never any more his old self. His trouble
from the fret was that in his youth be
had never submitted to any discipline.
and when in later years trouble came be
was helples to meet it and make q fight
for himself. He had talents enough to
have won for himself an enviable name,
bot he lacked both discipline and firm
ness of purpose. and long ago voted him
self a failure, and all the music in his
life died.
