CLAREncE HERRERT nENI. ICOpyrIght, 1897. by J. B Lppincott Gel

Oceanic Steamship company, several years ago? By Jovel It can't be Dick Halstead? What? We'll, I'm blessedi ! Where on earth did you drop from ? You have changed. and no mistake"
 Possibly. Dut you haven't, old chap; I'd know you anywhere. Say, look here, we've got a heap to talk about; come up to the club. No, never mind the carromata; it's cooler on the river. We'll go up in the launch"
 "But-how the deuce? I thought she belonged to the government?''
 That's right. So do I, for the pres ent." We had taken our seats in the stern, and were gliding up the motion less stream. i've been in command of that tramp, the Countess of Devon, for over a year-you see her lights out there, two miles from the mole-and the biggest stockholder in the com pany that owns her Is old Leon Ramirez, of Liverpool and this place. So when the Isla de Ponape, that used 70 carry mail to the Carolines and Ladrones, ran ashore on Espiritu Santo, Ramirez chartered the Countess to the government here until the com pania could spare another of their own boats with big enough coal capacity to make the trip. That was last Septem- Der, and they manage things so slowly that I'm still running supplies out to those islanders, once in three months, with a Scotch engineer and Spanish crew, connecting with the Messageries boats at Saigon the rest of the time. Now tell me under what the canopy brings you out here"
 Business, of course; you didn't think I was travelling on my money, did you? I've been buying China goods, assorted devils, and Manila mat ting for Lantine & Go. about two years. Up to three o'clock this afternoon 1 expected to keep on buying them until my liver refused to stand the climate, but about that time this cable changed my plans for me" Halstead looked thoughtful as he read the message which handed him. We had reached the club quay. and were climbing to the balcony, where the boy presently brought us cigars and coffee.
 "M-m-m-m-how long will 1t take you to close matters up for the com pany?'
 They're settled now. as far as any thing can do. It will be month be- fore they can get letters out here, but the orders already shipped will have to be paid for. Larrinaga's people told me this evening that they knew old man Lantine to be individually good for all the house bought. This cable, however, winds up my connection with them for the present"
 And you haven't decided what you're going to do next ?''
 Not yet. I'll probably go to Hong Kong on Tuesday and see how things look there"
 "Why not take little vacation? You've been working hard, and rest would do you good. Run out to the Ladrones with me. It's a fine voyage at this time of year, and I'm so sick of talking mixed languages that it'll be a perfect godsend to have an old friend along. Come now, what do you say ?n
 Why, don't know I'd like nothing better. if-m-m- -m-m-there's really no reason why I shouldn't. When do you sail2"
 About midnight"
 ''What, to-night?"

Those who have not visited the
Carlton House since it passed under
its new management, will he surprised
when they see the changes and i'm
proyements that have been made
from kitchen to garnet. Those in
the dining-room and kitchen are
specially designed to add to efficiency
Of the service and comfort of guests.
Plenty of pure air and bright sunlight
have been admitted. the primary es.

promote health in the preparation and

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

U. s. Department of Agriculture,
Climate and Crop Bulletin, Washing
ton Section, for the week ending Mon
day, July II:
Quite warm, sunshiny weather, and
entire absence of rain throughout the
week made it a perfect one for having,
which was the leading occupation OF
farmers in the Western Section and in
parts of the Eastern Section. In the
irrigated districts fine first crop OF
alfalfa was secured some days ago, and
in some localities the second crop is
nearly ready. In Western Washing
ton the hay crop now being harvested
in prime condition is, for the most
part, an exceptionally heavy one.
The maximum temperatures were
high, ranging from so deg. to SO deg.
in the portion of the State west of the
Cascades, and IS deg. to 102 deg. in
the portion east of them. The
warmth was beneficial 70 crops in the
Western Section, particularly pota-
toes, but in Eastern Washington the
hot, drying winds have been unfavora-
bic to grain and vegetables. Consid-
cradle burning" of spring wheat is
reported from the dryer localities, and
even fallwheat in the southeast coun-
ties may be a little shrunken from
ripening prematurely. Spring wheat,
now being either in bloom or in the
" milk" can readily be very much in
jured by hot winds. causing blighting
and shriveling; therefore rains and
cooler weather, are much needed and
hoped for.

cops from further duty. 1t seems
that when our local Lawmakers came
to decide as to whose head should be
placed on the block, both incumbents
had such stalwart friends that no de-
cision could be reached. The matter
was then referred to Chief Savidge,
but he refused to WELD the headsman's
ak. Then the matter was referred
back to the Council, and that body
finally decided, that if the dread deed
had TO be done, to do it we'll, and both
of the high officials were reduced to
the rank of the common citizen by a
motion made and duly carried. On
the proposition to elect a policeman,
however, there appeared to be very
little division of opinion. Lammon
nominated Decker, Wiman Myers and
Dohsrty Morrell, and on ballot Deck
er received four votes, Myers two and
Morrell one. Decker was, of course,
declared the choice of the Council.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
Death Of Mrs. Phoebe n. Moore. . Phone or
Of Olympia for IS Years.

Monday forenoon at 10 O'Clock
Phoebe H. Moore, one OF our oldest
and best known residents, departed
this life at her home, on Capitol hill
in the I'D year of her age. Mrs
Moore came to this State Chen Terri
tory with her husband Philip D.
Moore, and family, in 1863, and dur.
during the intervening So years, with
the exception OF two spent in San
Francisco, has been a continuous resi-.
dent Of this city.
Mrs. Moore had been a sufferer for
several years past from asthma and
kindred troubles, but she had lived
out the scriptural limit of three score
years and ten and doubtless death
came as q relief for one assured of u
renewed life beyond the earthly
boundaries Of time. She was born
in Newark, N. j., May 18th, 1928,
and was united in marriage to her
husband who survives her, in 1S47.
Ten children were born to the
couple-six boys and four girls, of
which four boys and two girls are
living, who are A. Schooley, Waldo g.,
Lindley E., Gerald b., Janet and Mrs.
Edna w. Eddings, of Honolulu, S. l.,
all of whom were present to minister
to her comfort as the end drew nigh.
excepting Schooley, who was ON a
timber-cruising trip in Whatcom
county. and could not be reached by
messenger or wire.
Mrs. NJ. combined in an eminent de.
gree, all those qualities which conduce
to the welfare OF the community as we'll
as happiness in the home. She was
good neighbor and a loving wife and
mother. A spiritualist in belief, her
constant endeavOr was to so live as to
fill a higher place in the life to come.
That she has gone to her reward is
the belief of all who knew her and
have faith in those teachings which
implant confidence in progression OF
Nature and inspire confident hope OF

friend OF the family, ofiiciated and de-
livered feeling address upon the vir-
tues OF the deceased. The Women's
Club was present, as a body, and to-
ken OF their love consisted of pillow
of roses and tea-vines. Mrs. Moore's
grandchildren at Walla Walla sent a
floral piece from Tacoma with the
word Grandma" beautifully outlined
in purple tiowerets. The grave was
lined with cedar and evergreens,
among which roses and lilies were
beautifully entwined.

THE oREooNIAN AND DIRECTOR
OF THE MINT ROBERTS.

An Oregon Republican paper, that
has recently let mp in it's abuse Of the
president, IL still welding lis bludgeon
on Director Of the Mint Roberts and all
who agree with him in thinking that
there may have been some white men
among the bimctallists Of 1896.
It's methods are those Of the rhinoce-
ros, which is said, when aroused, 10
lower its head and charge blindly at any
moving thing which happens 10 attract
it's attention.
Because Mr.. Roberts appeals 10 BIZ
metalists, as rational beings, conceding
that certain arguments used in favor Of
bimetallism in 1896 were apropOs, but
trying 10 show that the increased pro-
duction Of gold is now filling the de-
mand for standard money; because Mr..
Roberts takes the ground Of a thought
full student Of monetary science and
pleads the immutable laws Of political
economy instead Of ranting like the
Wild Man Of Borneo; because Mr.. Rob
erts speaks as human being, addressing
his peers, instead Of believing like a
mad bull In a slaughter pen; he has
aroused the ire Of the insane goldbugism
enthronod I'm the Portland office.
The fact that Mr.. Roberts argument
IL n virtual confession that the conten-
items Of the bimetallists we're sound In
principle and that the quantitatiye
theory Of money is in accordance with
natural law, IL like a red rag Haunted In
the face Of the insane bull Of Western
Gold Standard Republicanism.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Roberts II right In
his upp0sition that, II the increasing
supply Of gold can be shown . be suf.
fcient 10 meet the increasing demand
for standard or primary money, then
the bimetallist's greatest "casus bclli' ID
gone.
The objection 10 the gold dollar Ia
1896 was that was not an honest dollar.
Were we 10 adopt the Orcgonlan' d
phraseology, we would say that the man
who said that IL was an honest dollar
was either knave or fool. No appre-
ciating dollar can possibly be an honest
dollar. IL robs the debtor for the bene'
fit OF the creditor; the man Of enterprise
for the benefit Of the money lenderi the
worker, for the benefit Of the drone,
No matter whether IL is gold or paper,
the apprcciating dollar Is dishonest
dollar, and It's dishonesty Is the dishon-
esty Of the sneak thief, the forgcr, the
man who raises the figures ON note

EX-GOVERNOR LARRAsEE.
An Iowa Man Who Is Opposed to the Ae
QUESTION Of the Philippines.

|
Davenport Democrat.
According TO the men who knew it all,
and most Of whom have never done
more for the state than 10 praise good
citizens with their abuses, Ex-Governor
William Iarrabee il 'lttle American"
a copper head, traitor, and whole lot
Of other things. According 10 the be-
lief Of the majority Of the people be il
one Of the really few good governors who
have served the state, wise man whose
/ opinions are not influenced by the posi-
tion of others, but whose expressions
are the result Of careful reflection and
mature deliberatiOn.
! just at this time Larrabec is perhaps
the most prominent Republican in the
service of the state. His office il not
the highest, but the character Of the
] work that hc has been compelled ~ per-
form az member of the board Of con-
trol has been such as has made him for
the time being more talked about than
the governor or any member Of the con-
gressional delegation. lie Is certainly
q representative Republican Of the state,
an eminent lIawkeye from whatever
point Of view may be chosen, and unless
/ he IL above the average Of the citizen
/ ship Of the nation the American people
are today the greatest and grandest race
! the word has ever known.
farrabee is opposed 10 expansion in
the direction Of Asia. His opposition il
not half-hearted and doubtful. His
opinions are not hampered and his ex-
pressions are most emphatic. Speaking
ut Iowa City, Mr.. Larrabee said Of the
Philippines and their people:
There we have a country totally un-
ft for habitation by Americans and Of.
fering no advantage but 10 a few ad-
yenturers. There we have 10000, 600 Of
the worst class Of people now existing
throughout the whole breadth Of the
worlds area. II will take a thousand
years 10 teach them the first principles
Of American citizenship, and as long ~
we hold the Philippines we will have
the opportunity TO pay war taxes and u
furnish the life blood Of our young men
To stain the soil Of foreign land. Here
a mistake has been made. IL was easy
at one time 10 dispose Of them. Nc
Kinley should have instructed the peace
commission which met at Paris 10 un-
load them at any cost, instead Of paying
the price he did for this worthless crowd
Of inhabitants and this unproductive
land. II will cost the United States
$50, 900, 600 per year 10 hold the islands
and the blood Of many Of our citizens
each year. The Philippines will be O
constant drain on both our population
and our purse, and as for me | wouldn't
exchange the lives Of dozen Iowa boys
f)r the whole land and its ten millions
of people"
II is no exaggeration 10 say that hc
spoke for the majority of the people OF
the state. The question is not par
tisan one.
