Hood Tells iu Court.

recent divorce case has created a
profound sensation in Qnitman, Ga, a
white husband bringing action on account
OF the extremely dark complexion of a
child born to his wife, and naming a col.
ored man as co respondent All the par
ties are counted as respectable, but the
wife, standing on her defense, proved
that the husband was descended several
generations back from a race in North
Carolina called Shufiletonsns, who were
a mixture Of white, Indian and negro,
and the jury gave the divorce to the wife
instead OF the husband In this verdict
the jury recognized the possibility and
probability of taking back" a doctrine
that prevails in all countries where there
is, or has been within historical period,
mingling Of different races OF men. In
the British West Indies young women
who might, as far as their personal ap.
paarance goes, be taken for the unmixed
descendants of Northern Europeans, are
shut out from matrimonial alliances with
men no fairer than themselves, on ac-
count of this universal belief in the pos
sibilities of the recurring blood of Africa,
which flows, though imperceptibly, in
the woman's veins.

Russia is playing big game and is going
ern waters and is ready to strike at the
/ least provocation. She practically has
made the map OF China that will eyentu-
ally come under her control. The last
treaty made with China gives Russia all
OF Manchsria, the richest country in
minerals, agriculture and timber Of any
in the Chinese empire-the only place
where Europeans can colombo; but
Russia has her iron grasp upon it, and
you will hear growl that will upset all
Europe il the slightest objection is made
to the treaty. II that objection is upheld
with naval display-Russia owns north
ern China, RENE mber this, China is to
be segregated and the boundary lines are
made by Russia, England and Germany,
but what a fight it will entail Each
nation keeps most of their fighting ves-
sells and men watching loop hole, that
the advantage may be seized. All ma
tons talk peace, peace, but volcano is
ready to burst and belch forth its mighty
torrent of lava to cover China that has
stood upon her pedestal of isolation and
antiquity for many centuries anterior to
to the christian era. Poor China. These
white but terrible engines of destruction
are keeping you company-not for loves
sake. Heavy is the head that wears
the crown" etc.
The japanese also have heavy fleet of
modern war vesses-and some not quite
so modern-to which she is continually
adding in order to uphold her recently
acquired standing as naval power in
the East but Japan will go with the up
heaval Of China and the cockey spirit of
the monkeys" will surely invite their
own overthrow. Since their recent vic
tory over the Chinese, no country in
their estimation is equal to their steel
They continually carry a chip on their
shoulders and the powers in this country
are only too anxious to knock it off but
each fear to be the aggressor-not Of
Japan but of their Jealous neighbors.
Germany has few vessels, all first class
but her interests here in the East are not
sufficient to warrant a larger display.
Uncle Sam has few, five all told, the
Olympia being the flagship. She is one
OF the speediest in the East and so ad-
mitted by our English friends. Our yes.
sells are the favorites in these waters and
have done much good in the establish
ment of American promptness in time
OF need. The Spanish squadron is strong
but her fleet is augmented by reason of
the rebellion in the PHILIPPINE Islands. A
few vessels of other nations completes
the list"

Business NInCtY-SIx Years Ago,

Not only was the field OF business en-.
terprise restricted, but the transaction of
business within that field was slow and
difficult. The merchant kept his own
books, or, as he would have said. his
own accounts, wrote all his letters with n
quill, and when they were written let the
ink dry or sprinkled it with sand. There
were then no envelopes, no postage
stamps, no letter boxes in the street no
collection Of the mail. The letter writ

with wax or wafer, addressed and ear

extortionate. To send letter, which

WHO OWNS THE STiTEP

1t may seem to Governor Rogers, and
II probably does seem so to him, that the
state property is the same as his personal
property while he is governor of the state
but it is not. The state of Washington is
not the farm OF the governor, elected by
the people, even for four years. OF course
we look largely to the action Of the gov
ernor for our welfare, and there is very
intimate relation between the two-the
governor and the welfare, but it does
not mean that the governor can take the
place OF laws, commissions and state in
situations.
In the matter Of the state fair, the gov
ernor proceeds as though he were the
only party to be considered when the
real fact is that he ls only related to the
state fair through his right and duty to
appoint commission OF five. He is not
the owner, director, arbiter or grand
mogul OF the institution. He cannot say
whether there shall be fair or not He
has no business to defeat this community
OF its little annual representation in the
states business. We got the right to
hold fairs and to be considered the states
agricultural center when Mr.. Weed was
our representative, and we gave up every
thing else, thinking it was pretty big
thing. Now here comes Mr.. Governor
Rogers and says that we cannot have q
fair and cannot have commission
that, in fact, he owns the whole bust
ness and will dictate what shall be done
AS matter Of fact the governor has
nothing to say on the question as tc
whether or not there shall be a fair. The
law is that he shall appoint commission
and that the commission shall determine
whether or not there will be a state fan
here in North Yakima.
1t looks as though the desire not to
spend money had turned the head of the
honorable chief magistrate of the state.
II this is the case, then proceeding in
mandamus would bring him TO his sen.
SEES or, rather, teach him what he does
not seem to know-that he is simply q
well.defned part of the governmental
machinery.
1t is wrong on this part of the state
to be cut off from the possibility of hold
ing the state fair Were it not for this
wrong, TIE HERALD would not bother
itself to remind the governor that he is
getting in away beyond his depth by
farming out the fair grounds as though
they were his property.

WAGES MUST BE REDUCED.

Senator Steve Elkins has allowed the
cat to escape from the bag. He says
wages must go down; wage earners do
not see it or believe it, but it is so,
Wages in America stand against any re.
vival in business" This will be news to
a great many who have already had their
wages cut down or are living in state
OF hand-to mouth poverty through ina
bility to secure work, They have been
waiting for that promised revival that
was to come as soon as Mckinley's cleo
ton touched the button of restored con
fidence. They were trfle disappointed
then for midst an epidemic of closing fac
tories and reduction Of wages they Were
told to have faith and wait until Mckin,
ley took his seat of office. Then during
period OF bank and general business
failures OF greater volume than for sever
al preceding years they were cautioned to
have patience until congress met, when a
tariff bill would be passed which, by
raising the price on their wearing apparel
and articles OF daily use and consumption
would make them all prosperous. Now
to be told by one of McKinley's generals
that revival OF business can only come
with reduction Of wages is just tritie
discouraging.

There ls more catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases pnt
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurabe. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and 10y constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurahle.
Science has proven catarrh to be con
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrll
Cure, manufactured by F. }. Cheney q
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

tenn. They offer 800 for any case it fails
to cure. Send for circulars and testi-

The Dalles Times Mountaneer: The
senate committee on privileges and cleo
tons have taken up the case OF Mr.. Cor
bett, appointed U. S. senator by Cover.
nor Lord, and will dispose OF it in few
days. Indications now are that he will
not be seated. in which event the COVER
nor will likely call an extra session.
Should this occur Mr.. Mitchell will have
the best of the contest for the reason that
he will have the support of the admins
tration. And this will be powerful in
f1uence since President Mckinley has
determined to not fill any of the federal
offices in Oregon until after senator is
elected, consequently legislators who are
opposed to Mitchell will vote for him in
order to get their friends into office.

them fair chance to try their patent

To raise the price Of clothing and
coal and iron may help a few people
here and there; but it can have no
beneficial effect on the raisers of
grain or meat or wool or cotton, be-
cause the prices of these are fixed in
the worlds markets; and, as long as
these are at half price, the power of
the producers, tO-wit.:-the farmers,
to buy manufactures is cut in half
and everything languishes. The re-
duction of the value of the world 5
great staples is due to the demonetiz-
alton Of silver; and there can be no
good times until silver is restored to
it's ancient place. When the farmer
is more PROSPEROUS than the manufac-
turer it will be in order to discuss the
propricty of taking money out of the
farmers pocket, and handing it over
to the manufacturer. But to strip
the poor devil of an agriculturist of
the little he has left to sustain life, to
enrich another class, richer than him
self, is an abomination to the Lord
and little better than rank robbery.
