WE DEPEND ON THE FARMER.

Nearly everything but the products
of the soil is being controlled by the
trusts or other combinations of capi-
tai. Yet the farmer is the man who
moves the world. If he should refuse
to raise crop for single year it
would produce more disastrous ef-
feet than would result from universal
strike of all the brotherhoods of rail-
road employees and trade unions COM
bined. He, with his gli5tering plow-
share, furnishes substance for every
body, and If he should ''go out" he
would paralyze the commerce of the
world. Every locomotive and car
would rust, the song of the spindle
would be hushed, the goods of the
merchants would become shelf-worn,
and even the government would be
powerless to Interfere. The farmer
tolls on, year by year. bearing the ills
he cannot shun; and because he does
not strike the world moves on and the
people have bread and other neces-
saries to at.-Jacksonville Times.

WHO rs RIGHTs

The Lamars, Iowa, Sentinel sums uI
the controversy between the British
and Beers about right. 1t puts in the
Beers mouths these words:
This is our country. We snatched
it from the savages. We made farm
land from the wilderness.
You want it because of the gold and
diamonds.
You demand equal franchise. This
would mean political extinction for
US.
By the conventions of 1884 you
promised never to interfere in our in
ternal government. Now you ignore
those conventions.
We want NO English among our cit
liens. You are immoral and vicious.
You would not make good burghers.
If our laws please you not. you are
rec to go away.
To this it makes the Britons an
swer as follows:
We helped you fight the Kafirs. We
developed the mines and made you
rich. We built the cities.
We only seek to protect our subjects
In their legitimate pursuits.
We pay nine-tenths of the taxes.
Don't we deserve vote? The majority
onght to rule.
Conditions have changed. Your
rule has became tyrannical. You rob
US on every hand.
No nation has the right to isolate
Itself in a land full of gold and dia-
nonds. You are only half civilized.
You are religious bigots.

CECIL RHODES DID 1T.

The Astoria Budget very truthful1y
says: Back OF all the trouble in the
Transvaal is Cecil Rhodes. Keen,
crafty, unscrupulous, utterly regardless
of justice and thinking only of COM
mercialism, this man Rhodes now
stands back in safe place and watches
brave men sacrificed co consummate
his cold blooded conquest. With a
skill amazing to contemplate, Rhodes
has duped prime ministers, pulled the
wool over the eyes of colonial secre-
taries, made kings and princes dance
like marionettes when he has pulled
the strings and played daring game
that has filed Central Africa with the
bleaching bones of whites and blacks.
Slowly, but none the less surely,
Rhodes has planned and schemed, for
getfui of justice, of humanity and of
Christianity-and for what? To build
in Central Africa an empire which will
be a monument to his energy and
daring.
Human life has been to him of less
worth than the blue earth which con-
tains the Kimberly diamonds. Human
blood has been cheaper to him than
the glittering gold dust of the Trans
vaal. Justice has been to him worthy
of less consideration than the ivory |
boarded by the semisavages of the
African forests The Beers stood in |
the way of the consummation of his
great purpose, therefore the Beers
we're not entitled to his mercy. He
pulled the strings and Chamberlain
lanced. He spoke, and the power Of
he English army was put at his beck
md call. He made sign, and the
eath warrant of self-government in
Africa was signed by his tools. HUI
nan rights withered under the blight
I his presence, and today the Trans
aal runs red with the blood of men
ghting for liberty.

NEPHEW OF DOM PAUL.
Has Inherited Fortune But Will Co
tinue to Preach

Has Inherited a Fortune But viii Con-
tinue to Preach.
Rev. Paul Krus er, OF Ukiah, Oregon,
was a visitor in Walla Walla Tuesday.
His grandfather was born in Holland
and settled in Germany in 1872. His
father died fighting for Germany. Paul
Kruger, president of the Fransgaal,
was brother of Rev. Kruger's grand
father.
Rev. Kruger, who is a bright young
man with only half as much beard and
avoirdupois as his distinguished grand
uncle, was born in Germany and grad
uated from university there. He
crossed the ocean three times. He is
minister of the United Brethren
church.
Until recently he has lived in Chi
cago, but moved to Ukiah, Oregon,
where he has been preaching. Some
ten years ago he received $500 from
legacy, and since had given no thought
to the question of possible further in
heritauce.
Several months ago. however, a rel
ative of Rev. Kruger started from Ger
many to find him, and turn over leg
aey valued at some $4,000. This man
went to Chicago, but Rev. Kruger had
recently "goae vest" With this def
mite instruction the gentleman pro-
ceeded on his mission and landed in
Los Angeles. But no trace of Kruger
could be found.
It was about this time that an asso.
ciated press correspondent fastened
upon Rev. Kruger. and flashed over the
wires a story OF the relative OF Dom
Paul. The story of his capture of two
desperadoes, and the taking of them
to Pendleton, was also sent broadcast
over the country. And iD this way the
whereabouts of Rev. Kruger was dis.
covered. He is now on his way to find
a German consul, at Tacoma or Seat
Gle, and arrange for transfer of the
legacy. The property consists of some
10000 marks and four coal mines.
Judging from the value of the mines
adjacent to his, Rev. Kruger thinks he
can get at least $40. 900 apiece for them
He will sell.
This wealth will make no difference
IN bis way of living. He has his work,
Ind will eonDippe preaching. But he
wants to get into some town that has
'ailroads and teIegraphs. He sees the
7alue of the press now, since without
t he would hacaly have got his legacy.

so FAR A FAILURE.

The Chicago Tribune last Saturday
published a communication from its
Manila correspondent, Richard b.
Little, dated September, 18th, in which
the correspondent says:
"Here are some figures, made seven
and one-half months after our cam
paign against the Filipinos began.
Say it is 81 miles to Angeles; we hold
possession of the rsilroad up to that
point. We can fairly claim possession
of the land a half mile on each side OF
the track. We have possession OF the
wagon road and let US say. half mile
on each side from San Fernando
through Bscolor 10 Santa Rita, eight
miles, with + ,ur miles to Guaga. We
have road I ON Malos to to Balinauag,
eleven mile. northeast. We have
Manila out far as the water works,
five miles away. That gives US say
25 miles around the city. Then we
have the road and half mile each side
down Is miles to linus. Then we have
Calamha and some other points on the
lake that General Gawton captured be-
fore he was ordered back. These
towns are not approached by road, but
by boat across the Laguina de Bay,
and we only control the land they
stand on. Adding up our total posses
sions, we find we have III square miles.
"The island of Luzon contains $4,000
square miles. Outside of Luzon, the
insurrection seems to be growing. The
insurgents hold ports in Mindanao,
the next largest island to Luzon in the
Philippines, and said to be intellectually
rich in gold and silver mines, iron and
copper ores. coal and other minerals,
besides possessing wonderful forests
of hardwood. No Americans have
dared venture there as yet, as General
Otis has:sent no troops to the island.
Eng1ishmen and Germans are prowling
about The island, getting all the con-
cession they can."
Here is the result of oyer half years
campaign with an army ranging from
25, 900 to s.. 900 men, against what are
said to be a semi-civilized race. incap-
able of self government and unworthy
of being treated With by our dignified
nation. In this campaign we have ex-
pended approximately $50, 100000 and
have lost over 1000 lives. AS result
we have captured and now hold about
one four .huDdredth of single island
of group of 1,2O0. Indeed the war
cannot be called a bowling success,
but on the other hand if it Is
not thus far failure no country eyer
went forth to conquer the world and
failed. If it has taken US over half
a year to subdue one four.hundredth
part of 'Luzon, has cost us 0.000, 900
and 1000 lives,9 how long will it
take and what will it cost to subdue
all of the archipelago? At this rate
Uncle Sam will be bankrupt and the
nation depopulated before all of the

Died of ApopIexy.

About 1890 this forenoon James
Hinnell: of High Prarie, Klickitat
county, died very suddenly, in Moody's
warehouse. He had unloaded load
of wheat and had gone Ia to the scales
to speak to w. n. Moody about the
weights aud selling his load. After
conversing with Mr.. Moody, he turned
toward the door and fell. Every
assistance possible was rendered, and
DR.. Hudson was called, but Mr.. Hinnell
was dead before he arrived. After
making an examination the doctor
pronounced the cause of his death
apoplexy.
Mrs. Hennell had arrived here by
boat last evening and expected to meet
her husband here and was only noti-
led OF his arrival after his death. Mr.,
aennell was about 80 years of age. and

county where he had resided for q |
lumber of years.

would lean that way, hence the mem
bers considered it best to change the
place of meeting to Wamic.
The Wasco County Forestry Pro-
tective Association was not organized,
as many supposed, to make crusade
against sheep owners, but was formed
as a means of self protection and to
protect the forests in this part of the
state. The membership is composed
mostly of farmers and stock raisers
living adjacent to the Cascade forest
reserve between White river and the
Colum bia, and their object in forming
the association was to protect the
water supply of their farms and to
protect the forests from fire. They do
not ask that all the reserve be closed
to sheep, but in fact are favorable to
the sheepmen having ali the reserve
south of White river. Therefore they
will cooperate with sheep raisers in
securing portion of the reserve for
the ranging of their flocks.

1T SEES THE POINT.

In recent editorial the Oregonian
said: "The time to remove tariff pro-
lection to the trusts is early in the
coming session of congress. To de.
pend on a platform declaration will be
deplorably weak. Republicans will
claim credit for the war and its results
because it was fought under repub-f
lian administration. How, then shall
they meet the assertion that under
the same rule they are responsible for
the trusts?"
The Oregonian sees what absurdity it
will be for the republican national
platform to declare against trusts
next year, if nothing is done during
next congress to break the grasp with
which they hold the country. And
well may that paper sound the alarm,
for uuder the fostering care OF repub-
lican legislation during the past year
in the little state of New Jersey alone
there have been 1,500 corporations
incorporated with an aggregate capital
of So, 500, 900, 900. OF this number over
200 are absolute trusts. corporations
It 1t have obtained complete mono
poly of the business in which they are
engaged, and three fourths of these
sre handling commodities that are
by the present tariff law.
The Oregonian timely asks how can |
;he republican party shift the respon-
ibility for the existence of these \
rusts unless q republican congress
md republican administration does
Omething during the coming session?
n short, If the party does not remove
he tariff that makes these monopolies
osslble, how can it make platform
eclarations strong enough in 1900 to
the people that it is in
arnest? When congress convenes
ext December the republican party
ill have lit in its power to enact
.gislation that will send nine-tenths
the trusts to the damnation bow
ows. All that is needed Is to repeal
le tariff law that protects them. If {
fails in this, platform declaration I

SOLDIERS FOB PRESIDENT.

Since Dewey's great victory at Ma
nila his name has been associated fre-
quently with the presidency, and this
has brought forth numerous comments
regarding the merits of those heroes
who have occupied the presidential
chair, and some very severe criticisms
have been made of the administrations
of our soldier presidents, though most
of them are unwarranted. for those
who haye gone from the army TO the
presidency have certainly averaged
well with other chief magistrates.
Among them are Washington, jack
son, Harrison, Taylor and Grant. who
were elected because of their military
records. Garfield and Benjamin Har-
rison were soldiers of some note, but
1t was not because of their military
records that they were made presi-
dent.
Our first president, George Wash
ington, acquired his first fame as COM
mander-in-chief of the eAmerican.forces
but the acts which endeared him to
the people were not all done on the
battle field. History accords many
good deeds to him while chief execu-
tive of the nation, and for more than
a century few people have undertaken
70 criticise his administration or to
deny that it was the purest ever given
to the nati,on.
During the administration of jack
SON partisanship ram high, and many !
of his acts were severely criticised at
the time, but in later ysars the ver-
dict has been almost universal that he
was one Of. our best presideHss. In
spite of his rough ways, arbitrary pa
ture and bitter hatred for his enemies,
be was scrupulously honest, and it has
never been charged against his admin
that it was corrupt. In fact
those who were his bitterest opponents
later acknowledged that he piloted the
nation through most trying times more
than weaker man could
have, and that his acts were almost
invariably on the side of justice.
Because of the untimely death of
10th Harrison and Taylor, what the
of either might have
,een cannot be judged. After them
srant was the next man whose mill
ary career made him president, and G
7hile his administration was not the c
est during the second term, his acts e
uring the first four years he was pres 4
lent were those of an honest aud ca v
able executive, and will compare fa- Il
orably with his successors at least. o
rant, however, was not man of "
fairs, and up to the breaking out of ti
70 rebellion, his life had been almost 1t
failure. He was unaccustomed to "
sociation with politicians, hence it is In
