There seems to be an epidemic of dis
honesty among the trusted servants of
the people. 1t is getting to BE- 4 serious
question whether we can find men to
whom the public business Of state and
county can be entrusted. Chehalis
county can no longer cast stones at the
sister counties, and King county is worse
off still. Besides what spectacle is set
before us when the mayor and other
prominent officials OF Spokane are placed
under arrest for breach OF public trust!
1t seems apparent that many men are
honest yet today because they never had
a good chance to plumber. And it is yet
more apparent that many public officials
consider the public monies as belonging
to any man who sees fit to tap the public
till. Men who would shrink from the
act Of stealing a pocket book will fear
lessly and with an easy conscience pilfer
from the public treasury. And why ?
Is it because the loss falls upon so many
it can be better borne? L. it that no
rights Of property inhere in a county or a
state?
1t is difficult for any casuist to dis
criminate SO nicely between moral actions
as to avoid placing those political and
civil trustees Of the people who have
been guilty OF malfeasance in Office, in
any different category of criminals from
that where he places the night burglar,
or the stage coach robber. The offense
is the same, only one has trifle more OF
danger connected with it.
1t can scarcely be expected that men
who have spent almost fortune to gel
elected, can hope to save enough out O

THE MESA GE.

President McKinley's first ,nnull mes
sage to congress will be read with un
usual interest as showing the policy of
the administration upon the question Of
public concern now confronting the coun.
try. With the exception OF the Cuban
question it has the merit OF conciseness,
and we'll omits a repetition OF the reports
OF the cabinet officers which they send to
congress. AS a whole it, like its author,
lacks positiveness, and like his campaign
speeches, talks COOL deal without say
ing much.
His assertion that the government is
bound by solemn enactment to keep the
5000, 100000 of currency (paper and sill
ver) on par with gold is gross assump-
ton. The government never agreed to
do more than redeem the greenbacks and
treasury notes in coin. Secretary Cages
plan, which the president endorses, to
reissue the greenbacks and treasury notes
that have been redeemed in gold only in
exchange for gold, is a sort OF a confidence
game to ultimately and quickly retire all
of them.
In regard to Cuba he is exceedingly
verbose, Gevoting nearly one-half of his
message to excuses for not obeying the
will of the people and recognizing the
patriots. The annexation Of
the Hawaiian islands is Of course recon-
mended, notwithstanding it brings $4,000
Coolies in direct competition with Ameri-
can labor that is struggling to make a
success of the beet sugar industry. The
troublesome seal herd and international
arbitration receive relatively large con-
sideration. The b,netalists among the
Republicans are to be placatcd by still
further effort on the part OF the Wolcott
commission. TO such psss has this
subject come by absolute failure that such
hopes held out by the president SAVIOR of
bulfoonery. Alaska, the starving Klon-
dikers and the Pacific railroads receive
consideration.

their salaries to reimburse themselves
Hence the temptation to steal from the
public treasury. Will the time ever
come when men shall be elected to Office
upon their merits, and without throwing
a sop to voters?
1t is easy to see that there is some
conscience among the people in respec,
to honest elections and honesty in Office,
from the numerous illusions to the mat
ter in public journals as we'll as to the
honesty plank that usually finds its way
into the party platforms. But too often
the platform is only used to carry men
into oflice-not to stand on afterwards.
Our only refuge seems to be either to
mete out more condign punishment to
these offenders, or make the laws SO
strict that no man can cover his tracks
while engag ed in criminal pursuits.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a

and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inaamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out

Western Washington as a Fruit Country

To the Editor
My experience Of nine years in western
Washington leads me to believe it great
fruit region. have in my life time
planted out five large orchards; but /
have never seen trees grow faster, bear
earlier or more protusely than the few
trees | set out seven years ago. This
time last year put out 12O trees; every
one of them lived, and some of them
made growth OF four feet. There is no
question but orchard fruit and all kinds
OF small fruits will be success in this
climate The time to set out trees is in
this month as the roots will grow all
winter. l advise my neighbors to plant
every tree they can find room for. l will
give any party, who wants to plant trees,
information where he can get trees OF all
the approved varieties for less than 1Oc

Quaker friend whom can recommend
to any man who wants an honest deal.

A Populist gathering was held in Ia
coma last week, for the purpose expressed
OF consultation regarding the good OF their
party, over which the Republican press
makes a great ado, and according to
the oracles the death knell OF fusion is
sounded as loudly as they have so many
times sounded that of Democracy. No
one will be deceived thereby. 1t is as
proper that conferences should be held by
the Populists and Democrats as for the
Republicans to do likewise, and if the
first two wish to fuse next year all the
Republican yelping cannot prevent it.
