The present arrangement of the crossing
plates along Main street, where the excava-

dangerous. They have too much pitch and
pedestrians frequently slide, and barely es-
cape falling upon them. The matter can be
easily remedied by raising the lower ends of
the plates

The ACT AN INDEX OF THE CHAR.
AcTER OF THE MAN.-His accidency
has applied for writ of mandate to
compel Secretary of State Jenkins to
pay postage on the commissions of no.
tary public issued by the executive
This is contention that was thought
to have been settled by an opinion
filed by Assistant Attorney General
Vance, some time ago, in which he de.
clared that the postage on executive
documents could not be imposed upon
the Secretary of State. All the execu.
tive has to sustain his side of the con.
tention is precedent; because some
obliging officers had depleted theil
postage appropriations for the benefit
Of the executive, the present Secretary
should continue to do 90, and with his
usual bull.headed tenacity he rushes
into court to compel such an unjust
exaction on an exceedingly flimsy and
untenable ground for support. It is
matter of considerable interest to
know just how the freak will wriggle
himself out of the matter after the
Supreme Court affirms the opinion oil
the Attorney General.

REHABILITATION OF THE NEW RICH
MoND HoRRoRs.-Now that the smoke
has cleared from the smouldering
ruins of New Richmond, Wis, de-
stroyed by q terrible cyclone and an
aftermath of horror by fire, an eye
witness draws this graphic picture OF
the field of disaster: Fully one hun.
dred corpses, twice as many mangled
people, forty acres of piles OF brick,
shivered planks, scattered heaps of
household goods, dead horses through
which the wind had driven sharp
splinters of boards, smouldering fires
where houses stood, and in the midst
of all shivering trees as bare of leaves
as ever they were in the middle of
winter and almost stripped OF bark I'M
til they resemble the ghosts of what
they were twenty-four hours ago; this
is what the storm wrought in the
space of three minutes upon the town
OF New Richmond. There may have
been cyclones which created greater
devastation, some that have inflicted
larger loss of life, but it was only be.
cause there was more material for de-
struction. There never was q cyclone
that made cleaner sweep of what lay
in its path than the one which de.
stroyed many of the lives. much of the
property and we'll nigh obliterated all
hope for the survivors of the late ter.
rible ordeal,

Departs This Life Suddenly While on . Visit to
the Sound.
Hiram E. Allen died in Fanny Pad
dock Hospital, Tacoma, Wednesday
from the effects of appendicitis, or an
operation performed for relief from
that dread obstruction. Mr.. Allen
had come over from Spokane on a
visit to his brother, John B. Allen, at
Seattle, and was on his way home
when he was Frustrated by a fever
which grew so rapidly worse that,
after diagnosis had revealed the source
Of the trouble, heroic measures we're
adopted. He apparently rallied from
the effects of the knife, but the high
fever did not abate and finally began
to increase in manner that presaged
death. Hope was not abandoned,
however, and everything that medical
experience could suggest was done to
save his life. The body was embalmed
and taken to Spokane for burial.
Deceased was o son of Jos. s. Allen,
q prominent physician in Indiana.
He was born in Charlottesville. Indi.
ana, in 1858. In 1871, he came, with
his fathers family, to this city. He
studied law and was admitted to the
bar in 1874. He followed his profes.
sion here till 1880, when he married
Minnie Hathaway, of Clarke county,
and soon afterward moved with his
bride to Spokane, where he became
prominently identified with the devel.
opment and progress OF the country.
He leaves widow, a daughter IL
years of age, and a son IA.

day, June 10, 1899:
Under the impetus given by the
first whole week of sunshiny sum mer
weather of this season vegetation OF
all kinds has made splendid progress.
There has been no rainfall since last
Tuesday, except some showers in the
southeast counties. Rain would lie
beneficial in the Big Bend and Spo.
kane countries, although not yet
seriously needed.
Wheat is reported as doing we'll in
most sections, and in many it is be-
ginning to head out. Spring wheat i.
in better condition than winter wheat
in some portions of the Big Bend
country. Oats are now doing we'll in
the Skagit river country. Potatoes
and garden vegetables continue to i'm
prove.
Hops now begin to be troubled with
vermin, and require to be sprayed.
Not more than half a crop of fruit of
all kinds is expected. The strawberry
season has now fairly begun. Con.
siderable alfalfa and clover are being
harvested.

From our Regular Correspondent.

henry 0. HAvEMEYER, President Of
the Sugar Refining Company, lately
declared before the Industrial Com.
mission, at Washington, that many Of
the trusts could not exist without a
protective tariff; that the people were
plundered through the tariff laws; that
the customs duty is the mother Of
trusts. He is in position to know the
full truth of his declaration, for proba.
bly, no trust has been more benefited
by special legislation than the sugar
combine.

A Suggestive Comparison.

The Spanish war lasted III days
the war with the Philippines has last
ed l37 days and is not yet closed.
The army sent to Cuba under Gen.
Shafter numbered 1900 officers and
men, about hall OF whom reached the
fighting line; Gen. Miles took to Porto
Rico 3,4lJ men. Since the memora-
BILE naval battle of May 1St, in Manila
bay, 90 army expeditions have crossed
the Pacific and four have gone by way
of Suez canal to subdue the islands
which cost us $2O,OO0,OOO. These ex-
petitions have carried 1879 officers
and 37,2S7 men, augmented by 800 adj
ditonal officers and 1000 men who
did not accompany regular expedi.
tions. Less than 1000 OF this force
has returned
This gives to Gen. Otis nearly twice
as many soldiers as were required to
conquer Spain in Cuba and Porto
Rico, still the War Department is in
trlbulation over the losses sustained
and the present alarming situation at
the scene of war. Our losses have
been so great that they have been
carefully kept from the public by Of
fetal direction. Fighting has been
continuous and the present outlook is
not as encouraging as before the first
battle, as is affirmed by Commander
Ford, Admiral Dewey's fleet surgeon,
who has just returned home with the
report that, "When l left, we had not
quite so much ground as was ours dur
ing the first part of August, last year,
and our lines are restricted to the SUBJ
urbs of Manila"
In view of these facts, do not the
lines of Private O'Connel of the First
California Regiment, which appear on
the first page of this issue, entitled
"Maniia in the year 2,OOO," possess
prophetic inspiration? Let us requote
single verse:
"Then left home for Manila,
With the q. 8. Volunteers.
We were numbered several thousand,
All enlisted for "twO years."
Oh!-the others! They are sleeping

UNCLE SAM is beginning to realize
that the guerilla warfare in the Phil
ippines is not as easy task as sinking
the Spanish navy before breakfast. It
is now estimated that at least 150, 900
soldiers will be required to subjugate
Aguinaldo and his forces. The eli.
matte conditions greatly favor the ma
tives. DR.. McQueslen, health officer
at Manila on the staff of Gen. Otis,
who has returned to this country an
invalid, says that troops, and many Of
them will have to be sent to hold the
islands. He favors colored troops
from the Southern States as better
Injured to climatic conditions to be
encountered during the hot season.
He afirms that the Filipinos already
think they have the Americans licked.
One trouble with our volunteer SOL
diers is that they enlisted to fight
through patriotism for their country,
and not for pay against an insurrec.
ton of the inhabitants of acquired
possessions.

raise an adequate sum for the purpose.

A Good Law Fails in Its Object.

A law enacted by the last Legisla-
ture OF Nebraska, intended for the
benefit of women, by prescribing re-
stricted hours of labor and regulating
their employment in divers ways in
manufacturing, mechanical, mercan-
tile establishments and hotels and res
taurants, is likely to accomplish an in.
jury instead of a benefit, and the en-
ployes OF large mercantile houses and
factories are in tribulation over the
anticipated result. The law goes into
effect July LIST, and the employees do
not know whether they will hold their
positions after that date.
While the measure was enacted by
recommendation of the Confederated
Women's Clubs, it seems that its ef-
feet had not been properly considered.
Every employer, among other require
ments. is compelled to provide seats
for the women employees and permit
the women to use them. 1t restricts
the hours of labor and provides a PEN
atty OF $50 for every infraction. 1t
likewise makes it the duty of the La
Dor Commissioner to see that the law
is enforced. There is no way to escape
the penalty, and no matter how will
ing the employer may be to retain fe-
male labor. it may be impossible to do
80. One plan suggested by the COM
mittee for adjustment Of the difficulty
is to permit the women to begin at a
later hour Saturdays-the "long" day
of the week-in order that they may
remain late, and meet the require.
ments Of service without making their
employees responsible.
Some of the proprietors OF hotels
and restaurants, where women work
from daylight to dark and the service
seems memorable, are discussing the
propriety of testing the validity of the
law.
