The origin Of '.The Sign Of the Cross was

Barrett was playing there. The latter conceived
the idea Of writing play which would show the
beauties Of the Christian religion as Ingersoll
saw in 1t only ridicule. Few plays have had such
record as this profoundly interesting one Of the
early Christian martyrs. and few beers have such

Hop PiCkerS Wanted.

Hop picking in the Yakima val
ley will begin this year on or about
the 10th of September; the crop is
as large as usual, and pickers will
be in demand and one dollar per
box will be paid. Pickers should
bring tents, camping outfits and
cooking utensils. The wages de-
ponds entirely on the picker, vary
ing from one to three dollars per
day. Families should come if pos
sible. Children frequently pick as
many hops as adults, and families
are often enabled to provide for the
necessarries of winter with the pro-
ceeds of a seasons picking. The
work in the hop field annually
offers an opportunity for a pleas
ant outing, coupled with the abili-
ty to make considerable money
while enjoying a months recrea-
ton.
There will be work for all who
come. Growers will provide means
of conveyance to the hop yards.

JAS. HAMILTON LEWIS,
His Opinion of The Political
Outlook.

The National Waterman has in
terviewed Col. Lewis, from which
we make the following excerpts:
"The question Of the Philippines
in my country is one of sentiment,
not wholly politics. Our soldiers
are fighting there, and these volun-
teers are children of our families.
Naturally the coast people would
never be willing to submit to any
course that will either disgrace or
humiliate their sons. Our people
are for expansion of our foreign
trade, but not for forcible conquest
of foreign people.
They are considering whether
or not the annexation of 100000
Asiatics, who, as Secretary Long
has lately said, would then have
as much right to come and go as a
citizen of Alaska or the territories.
would be to the advantage of labor
in this country.
Otherwise, if it is to be fight,
as it is, then put soldiers enough
in the field and press the action
so vigorously as to force surrender.
We want peace by fair concession,
or victory by concentrated and de-
cisive action"
Col. Lewis was asked: what
position will the democratic party
take in the next national con.
vention?"
"My prophecy is that here will
not arise any necessity f)r declar-
ing upon any question Of annexa-
ton of the PHILIPPINES. The re-
publican party will never declare
for the forcible annexation OF the
PHILIPPINES. Their managers
know that New England is against
it. that their party in the Middle

UNJUST CRITICISM.
A Leading Merchants Ideas
of the Matter.

Having noticed more or less un-
Just criticism in the local papers Of
late Of the alleged exorbitant
prices the farmers are compelled to
pay to local merchants for goods, l
desire to state few plain facts on
the subject which have doubtless
escaped the notice of kickers
against the alleged high prices.
During my eighteen or more
years. residence in this community
lhave kept close watch on the bus
iness of Ellensburg, and have seen
the rise and fall-mostly falls-of
many merchants. During these
years have seen not less than
thirty prominent mercantile estab-
lshments forced to the wall or
compelled to voluntrily retire from
business from lack of profits. The
very few that pulled through by
the skin of their teeth did so
against almost unsurmountable
Obstacles, and by sheer energy and
self preservation; and those who
think that the merchant has accu-

"oii "Hel tne merchant is pros
porous. When the people in town
prosper, it means an increase in
the valuation of property, thus adj
ding more money to the tax fund
and proportionally decreases the
burden of taxation on the country
population. With Ellensburg a
prosperous city, farm property To-
Gated near town would be more
valuable than if the town was in a
staEdstill and dead condition. II
is Just as necessary to the farming
community that their home city be
in a prosperous condition as it is
for the people who live in it. No
city can be successful unless every
man in and around it unites in
helping to lift it up instead of
trying to drive it down. An ex-
emplification OF this can be seen
in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and
other prosperous cities, and even
in our neighbor city, North Yaki-
ma. Without the cooperation of
the farmers our city cannot hope
to succeed, and upon the other
hand the farmers need the COOP
GRAFTON of the city.
Taking everything into consid-
Grafton we believe that the Ellens-
burg merchants have done we'll by
their patrons; equally as we'll If
not better than many other places
have or would do. 1t is to the
merchants best interests to accord
his customers the best OF treat
ment, dealing honestly and up
rightly with them at all times and
avoid foisting upon them bats and
inferior goods. This we think
they have done.
Regarding the oft-repeated as
sertion that farm products cannot
be disposed of to the merchants of
Ellensburg, ] simply wish to say
that no difficulty is met with in
disposing of gilt-edge farm pro-
duce, put up or brought to the
the city in a marketable condition.
In this | wish to emphasize anoth-
er fact, as Ellensburg grows so will
the market grow with it.
In conclusion | wish to say
that if our friends who buy their
goods abroad will call in an expert
they will find that in large per.
centage of their purchases they are
outrageously gouged. In the case
OF sugar rice and beans we freely
admit that these articles are sold
by foreign competitors on a very
small margin and in most in

ticles. On many of the last named
articles, and others, our farmer
friends are paying in many cases

POPULIST CRITICISM.
Ex-State officers Find Fault With the
Management

Populist editors have taken up the
cudgel against the management of the
Populist state central committee. Will
liam Stryker, who was state super1n-
tendent under Governor Leedy'S ad-
ministratiOn, now editor of the Well
ingtOn Voice, says:
The action of the POpuliSt state CEN
tral committee in removing Secretary
Upton does not meet with the approval
of Populists throughout the state The
majority of the committee are not rep
resentative Populists. At least one
member could not get 10 per cent of the
votes for the place in a state cOnven-
ton. The state convention would do
well to look more carefully to the selec-
tiOn of the committee, and it WILL
W. E. Bush, secretary of state at the

Wyandotte county, but he lacks
a long way of representing any
considerable number of Populists in

WELCOME TO WOOD.
Havana Is Preparing a Demonstration

New York, Dec. 1S.-A dispatch 70 the

General FitZhugh Lee is one OF the

to ask to be relieved. He gave a prompt
negative to the report, saying he had
no expectation of being relieved OF his
present command. which includes Pinar

of the city.
General Lee Is confident that the
president viii ultimately provide for
him as brigadier general in the regular
army preliminary to retirement and he
does not look for further active service
outside of Cuba. He expects to set
along well with General Wood. though
SOME of the plans attributed to the lat

Lees ideas. General Lee is strongly
opposed to a further reduction OF the
American military forces.

AFTER THE RAILROADS.
Governor Pingree and His Leg
islature Again in Action.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 1S.-The Michigan
legislature met in special session at noon
today in response to call of Governor PIN
gree. The governors object is to secure
passage of joint resolution providing tOr
submission to the people at the genera
election next November of an amendment
to the state constitution placing railways
upon the same basis for taxation as al
other property. At present the railroads
pay SPECIFIC taxes upon gross earnings;
interest in the special session is increased
by the fact that the grand jury wh1ch mas
returned indictments alleging prlDefy
against some of the legislators IS st1ll IN
session here. Speaker Adams OF the mouse
of representative who is one OF the IN
dicted men, presided today as usual.
The message of Governor P1ngree was
read before the joint session of the two
houses. It urged passage of the pros

ed the market from violent losses and
sugar worked back to a point above
Saturday night.
It soon became clear that the only
motive for supporting the market was
to afford opportunity to realize. Forced
liquidation on a large scale was OBJ
viously going on and the tone became
weak The announcement of the sus-
pension of one of the many new trust
companies threw the market into de-
Of it's affiliatiOn with some of the new
Industrial combinations. The suspen-
sion soon afterwards of a board mem

proceed from much the same sources
made the depression more acute. The
widespread nature of the liquidation
cluded the suppOsition that it was sole

speculative commitments in stocks
The most substantial stocks were
thrown over with as little regard to
the prices they were brlnSlng as the
greenest and most untried Industrials.
That large and important financial in
terests were being forced to make sac
rifice to secure ready funds was the
central fact standing out clearly.
The situation was such that the banks
in the clearing house association were
moved to a decision to charge no higher
than per cent for renewals of call
loans today and to avoid as far as pos
sible the charging of extreme rates for
money.
The market quieted down somewhat
after this news was announced, but
before that time the fall in the prices
of stocks had extended for the indus
trials all the way from to y points.
For the railroads losses ran from to
61a, the latter in Rock Island, which
suffered especially on account of the
selling out of some blocks under the
rule of the exchange.
