THERE is said to be several school
districts in the county which have not
as yet purchased flag as required by
the law enacted by the legislature
nearly two years ago. The idea is one
which ought to receive the indorse
ment of every parent and every school
trustee, and it ought not to be neces-
sary to urge that the law be cheerfully
complied with in every district. The
stars and stripes should be familiar te
the children of every citizen, rich OF
poor, and as they grow in years anC
knowledge they should be taught the
history of the flag and of the great ma
ton which has made it the nobles
emblem of liberty and equality, power
and glory in all the world. No district
in the county can afford to deprive it:
children of the sight of the star spangled
banner waving from the school house
where the foundation principles o
patriotism and good citizenship should
be as earnestly and efficiently taught
as the elements of language, mathe
MATES, literature and science.

The Oflcial Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY, SEPT. Is, 1898.

PRETTY soon the favorite lion OF the
Fusion menagerle, Col. J. Ham Lewis
will be at large, wagging his tale OF
war and roaring about the administra-
ton of President Mckinley, the con-
duct of the war and the condition OF
the "toiling masses" He is mounte-
bank i'm politics, a juggler with figures
and an adebt at exaggeration and mis-
representation. If he points with
pride" to anything it is to his own ex-
ploits and he apparently delights In
the sort of notority which has made
him the laughing stock of congress and
the butt of ridicule of the eastern press.
He will probably undertake to twist
the amount of the gold reserve, now
the greatest in its history, into calam'
ity, and make it appear that the pres
ent prosperous condition of the country
under Republican rule is being pur-
chased at the expense Of the very life
blood of the nations workers. When
he Is Wanting in this style he might
be asked to explain why it is that dur
ing the past fiscal year the balance OF
trade in our favor was more than dou-
BILE that of any previous year, and
nearly equal to that of the past five
years combined; why the net importa-
lions of gold exceeded those of any pre-
ceding year in the history of the coun-
try, the total gold imports in excess OF
exports being for the full year, $l04,
9S5 ,279, including coin, bullion and ore,
while no preceding year ever reached
the 500, 1000, 900 line in net imports OF
gold. The balance of trade in our favor
in the year under consideration was
$6l5, 259, O24 against $2S6, 1868, 144 in 1897,
1884, 661 1855 in 1879, $259,7l2,718 in 1881,
$257, S14, 234 in 1878, $237, las, $50 in 1894,
and $2O2, S75, 6S6 in 1892, while no other
year, except these mentioned, ever
reached the 5000, 100000 line in its bal
ance of trade, or "excess of exports over
imports" as it is termed by the official
reports of the bureau of statistics. And
his attention might be called to the
fact that the total expectations of man.
ufactured goods in the past fiscal yeal
reached nearly $500, 100000, while in
no year prior to the centennial did they
reach as much as 100000, 900. A com
parison of the exports of 1898 with
those of 1888 shows an increase of prac'
tically 100 per cent in that period, the
total for 1883 being 1896, 1854 ,5O7 against
$l.231 81 1858 in 1898. This extension
of our export trade has been in all
parts of the world, but especially with
the distant points and with those coun'
tries and continents which only de.
cade ago purchased but little of oul
production.

and ask the same questions as were
asked two years ago, and the same
clowns will ride the same old hobbies
and do the same old tricks upon the
same old platform. AS usual the Pop
ulists were outwitted and played with
the distribution of the official plums,
for while they will probably cast up
wards of three-fourths of the fusion
vote they only secured one-fourth Of
the nominations, the Democrats getting
two and the Silver Republicans, what
ever they are, one. In addition to the
reiteration of the demand for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to /, and further declara'
ton evidently intended to pacify the
PopuIists who care less for free silver
than for fiat money, the chief features
of the joint platform are the deciara-

of rather more local interest in this
county at least, pledges all the leglsla-
tors elected on the fusion platform to
"enact laws for the total suppression or
extensive curtailment of the size and
number of fish traps used, as we'll
as the size of the mesh." The
resolution declares that "the great fish
cries interests of the state are being
virtually destroyed" by the use of traps
which diabolical contrivances "are
actually taking the bread and butter
out of the mouths of thousands OF
worthy citizens" If you don't believe
this pitiful pronunciamento OF Pop
politics, look at the horrible illustration
of it's truth ~ right here in our midst

boys who have had bread and butter
to take out of their mouths on account

ANOTHER one of the atrocious crimes
of which the crowned heads of Europe
and others high in authority are in
constant fear was perpetrated at &c
neva, Switzerland, on the 10th inst,
when the Empress of Austria was as
sassinated by an italian anarchist, who
told the magistrate that he came to
Geneva to assassinate "another i'm
p0rtant person." Under the law of
Switzerland the extreme punishment
for murder is imprisonment for life. 1t
is the first instance for many years
when such a fiend has directed his un-
reasoning vengeance against woman,
who cannot have wronged him or his
in any way. The sympathy Of all ma
tons is but poor consolation for the be-
reaved old Emperor and bis family.

New Westminster In Ashes.

The worst fire in the history Of Bril-
ish Columbia and one of the most dis
asterous which ever occurred in the
west, almost entirely destroyed the
business por ion of the city of New
Westminster last Saturday night. The
fire devasted tract half mile square,
including upwards of 800 buildings.
Not public office, wharf, warehouse,
hotel or prominent business house re-
mains. Many residences were also de-
stroyed and only one church is left
standing. The local repres curative OF

A PROMINENT grocery firm in Seat
tie, which advertises extensively in the
Seattle papers and by price lists and
circular letters sent by mail, has a very
systematic aud persistent way of solic-
iting the trade of the people from
which it has once received an order.
1t is not improbable that the firm num-
bers among its numerous customers
quite number who are residents of
this county and who recently received
a solicitous circular letter directing at
tention to the especial inducements"
offered in their price list and contain
ing further the following paragraph:
do not put off ordering because you
think your order is too small to bother
about, but anticipate your wants and
order sufficient to last you several
months; or, if this is not practical, try
and induce some of your neighbors to
CLUB with you. In this way you can
save from 20 to % cents on every
dollar.n
Now THE ISLANDER has no DISPOSE
ton to find fault with this firms
method of doing business, or to warn
anyone against it, but it merely wishes
voluntarily to suggest to its readers
that if they were to anticipate their
wants and order sufficient to last sew
eral MONTHS" or ''club' with their
neighbors so as to give larger order,
and at the same time pay cash, as they
have to do if they buy in Seattle, they
might perhaps save fully as much by
buying of their home merchants, es.
peeially in Friday Harbor, as if they
were to send their money out of the
county to men who pay no taxes here,
contributing nothing toward the cost
ofour county government, the support
OF our schools, or the construction OF
maintenance of the roads over which
DUR farmers haul the products which
the local merchants buy. How many
farmers in this county are able to sell
their butter and their eggs, their hay,
grain, potatoes, fruit, poultry, hogs,
sheep aud cattle to the Seattle grocers
who are so active in their efforts to
secure their cash? If they will read
the advertisements of local merchants
In THE ISLANDER and give them an
opportunity to secure their cash upon
the same conditions that the Seattle
merchants seek it, the chances are they
will find it to their advantage, al
things considered, to deal at home,

from Fortress Monroe. At one time more
than 800 men were fighting i'll the street
and The civil authorities were powerless
to quell the disturbance. The troops had
just been paid off and some Of the more
unruly spirits among them were bent on

clashed and the riot was precipitated be-

Sinks a Schooner-SchoOner Burns

Hampton Roads.
Fatal Collision at Sea.

Six lives were lost in a collision be-
tween the North German Lloyd liner Ems
and the British schooner Gypsum Prln-
cess off the Nantucket south shoal light
ship in a dense fog. The Ems was bound
for New York from Genoa, Naples and
Gibraltar Those lost were: David Mer-
riam, captain of the schooner; his wife,
his son Edgar, who was his first mate;
daughter, IA years old, and another son,
5 years old, and Sanford Murray, the
cook. Six of the Gypsum Princess crew
were rescued by the Ems. The schooner
was cut into halves by the liner, and sank
three minutes after the PROV had entered
her port side amidships. Two big rents
were made in the starboard bow of the
Ems on the water line. Both opened the
way for the seas to the forepeak, which
was quickly flooded. Pumps We're
manned, and the work of keeping free the
compartment adjoining the forepeak was
continued until the Ems reached port.
Captain Harrassowitz Of the Ems believes
the collision would have been avoided but
for the similarity of the signals on the
Nantucket south shoal ship and those
sounded on the Gypsum Princess. He and
the officers ON the bridge with him mis-
took the ships signals for those on the
lightship. The thirtyfour cabin and 30l
steerage passengers on the Ems were
thrown into panic. 1t required long
time to assure them that they were in no
danger. The Gypsum Princess was val
ued at $4,000 and her cargo at $4,000.
She was built at Parrsboro, n. S., in 1892,
and was owned by ]. B. King & Co. of
that place.

evening by a mob of probably 500 persons.
Tie victim was John Becker, white
man, so years Of age, who, on Aprll Q,
killed Myrtle Huffmeister, the 16-year-old
daughter of William Huffmeister, farm
er, living near there. Becker was taken
from the Jail at Hutchinson to Great
Bend for preliminary examination. In
the early part of the evening the mob was
swarming around the jail. Evidently De-
lieving that he could outwit the lynchers
by fight, the sheriff rushed Becker from
the jail to his buggy, but he had no sooner
done so than he and his men and the
prisoner were surrounded. Selling the
murderer, they bore him to the public
square. There rope was drawn around
Becker's neck, and after he had been
beaten almost to insensibility the rope
was thrown over a limb of big tree and
he was drawn up
