Broad and Liberal.

In view OF the many partisan attacks
made by the papers upon the liberal cd
ucational appropriations of the last leg.
islsture, it is with pleasure that we quote
the following, from one of our most in
huential state publications, the Suokss-
maR-Rsview:
"The policy of the recent legislature
toward the states educational interests
was broad and liberal. All sections vera
treated fairly. and with q generosity
which time will amply justify.
"Ths general appropriation bill carried
SlO5.oOO for the state university, $s9, 25o
for thu state agricultural college and
school of science, ZOO for the school
OF defective youth, $4,000 special fer the
Whatcom normal school, and $I2, 400 fer
the efice of state superintendent of pub
lie instruction. Special bills provided
for the state normal schools and other
educational interests.
The Spokesman Review is convinced
that this liberal policy will paove prof.
liable, from q material as we'll az NOR

will bring it. Itwants that immigration

educational matters, and can not have

GOVERNOR RoGERs and his pen are an
important factor in putting the finish
ing touches to Legislative transactions.
He has been praised by almost the en-
tire state press for his courage in Veto
ing the capitol and the capitol commits
sion bills, but especially should he re-
ceiye credit for killing the "hobo bill,"
as 1t is called. There was bill APP
pointing every railroad man as sort Of
special policeman, giving every break
lie" and other employee the right to ar
rest anyone they might suspect OF any
action contrary to their ideas OF what is
right. While it was aimed at the hoboes
yet it gave too much power to the cor
poration employees, and in vetoing this
bill the governor has killed about the
only bill the railroad lobbyists succeeded
in getting through the Legislature.

The building of this road, which would
start from here, would create a big de-
mand for men and teams, and the money

of prosperity which is rolling our way.

THE fight over reduction Of freight
rates should teach the farmers Of East
ern Washington that under the present
condition they can expect no help from
the western representatives on any meas
use that would tend to hurt the railroads.
Tacoma and Pierce county legislators
were unanimous in their opposition, not
a single from that district being cast in
favor of the bill, and the Tacoma Ledger
was replete with sophisms and doc
tored" figures in favor of the corpora.

strong fight for the farmers, and the
Daily Times was also on the right side OF
the fence, but the King county represeE-
tativea, with three exceptions, meekly
bowed in submission to their masters
and placed themselves on record as tools
of the corporations. This supreme in
difference Of this western portion of the
state to the interests of the wheat belt
has been boldly and unblushingly pro-
claimed, and together with this fact

crushing retaliation for this indifference
and thereby force recognition of their
demands for relief along these lines Let

incidentally it might also open Spo-
kane's eyes, 80 that the traitorous ele-
ment OF her delegation might be induced
to come over on the right side of the
fence. The case needs heroic treatment
and we believe that this plan will be sf-
ficacious for it will reach the soul of
these enemies to our welfare, because it
will hurt their pockets.

THE DAMS OF THE ILLINOIS.
Mass Meeting to be Held to Urge the
Government to Remove Them
immense Damage.

Chicago, June 12.-The business
men and politicians of Chicago are TO
be asked to use their influence with
the government to have the two feder-
al dams across the lower Illinois river
removed before the water from the
sanitary canal is turned into the Des-
PLANES.
A mass-meeting is to be held at
White Hall, the later part CT the
month, and Mayor Carter III. Harrison,
the trustees of the sanitary district OF
Chicago, the members of the sanitary
canal inspection commission ana
prominent Chicago business men, are
to be invited to attend. Senator Gull
lom, Senator Mason. Gov. Tanner and
all the congressman whose ccnstitu-
ents are directly interested in the re-
moyal OF the state and federal dams
are expected to be present.
The mass-meeting is to be called By
the owners of farms in the valleys of
the lower Illinois, who claim that the
federal dams at La Grange and Ramps
vile, which were built for the purpose
of providing slack water navigation,
have caused a loss of 100000 a year
by holding back flood water until it is
too late to plant corn.
1t is planned to adopt strong resc-
buttons calling on Gov. Tanner to de.
mand of the federal government the
removal of the dams before the sani-
tary canal is opened.

A NEW EXPERIENCE.
phebe Ann Was Greatly Worried
Over the Actions of the
Trees and Houses.

She is only little black pickaninny who
lives down in Georgia. She is under dozen
years in age and until short time ago had
passed all of her life on rural plantation.
Trains and their attendant movements We're
utterly unknown. Indeed, what Phebe Ann
knew of anything outside of that plantation
would not make the beginning of a primer.
She was being educated for a house servant
and hence was not permitted to roam to any
great extent. She was busy about the big
house all day and at night retired to the
shack set apart for her family.
Along in the season, for some good rea-
son, it became necessary for the family to
move into a city. The little negro girl was
wanted, for she had much skill in soothing
the childish woes of the heir to the estates.
So it was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she entered
the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phebe Ann was IN state OF suppressed eX-
element She sat beside Miss Amy" as
she called her mistress, and with staring
eyes took in all that passed without COM
ment.
When she was taken into the train her
wonderment was amusing. She sat GIN
gerly on the cushions, looked out of the win
dow and generally seemed uncertain con-
corning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the train commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape. She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her and
her eyes filed, her lip qulvered and she
smiled audibly.
her mistress.
ooh, Miss Amy" walled the piclanning,
''whah all dem houses and trees a-goin' at!"
A seat on the floor was the only means
possible to quiet the fears of the child.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

COLONEL PIcoUART RELEASED.
The One Honest French officer Com
nected With the Dreyfus Cane,
at Liberty.

Paris, June 10.-Lieut.-Col. Picqnart
was yesterday released from prison
and taken Immediately by his cousin.
Alfred Edmond Cast, to his Villa dAv-
raw, where he will remain for the pres
ent unGer some restrictions, but with
almost complete liberty. There is nc
question that his temporary grant of
liberty will be made permanent, and
that the military charge against him
of revealing state secrets will be
quashed. The truth is, it was 4
trumped-up charge by the general
staff, because Picquart was the one
great cause of justice coming to Drey-
fus. 1t wSs he who was detailed 20
gather additional evidence against
Dreyfus at the time of the lola trial,
and who, instead, disc Overed and made
plain the fact thar Maj. Esterhazy
wrote the bordereau. Such a discovery
was crime in the eyes Of tine officers,
and Picquart was thereupon consigned
to prison to await court-martial. KS
he went away he spoke these IHemora-
bic words:
IF | am found dead, It will not be
because I shall have committed sui
eide
Immediately upon his release he was
from the city, for fear of being the
center for clash of Dreyfusite:s and
anti-Dreyfusites.

what was worse, sat down and showed other

that everybody is wearing white wings, and

San Francisco, June 12.-The light

ton by fire last night. In some man
ner the dry grass and shrubs which
cover the greater portion of the island

BELLAMY sToRBR ALL RIGHT.
The Missing Diplomat I'm Route to
Madrid from san Sebastian
Will Arrive To-day.

Madrid, June 10.-Mr. Bellamy St0r-
er, United States minister to Spain,
will arrive here this evening from Sc
bastian, the summer residence of the
Spanish court, whittier Mr.. Stanton
Siekles, secretary of the legation, has
gone to accompany him to Madrid.
His delay has no political si9niti-
canoe whatever. He simply desired to
find a residence for his use when the
court goes to San Sebastian, and it is
now expected that he will present his
credentials to the queen regent next
Monday.
During Mr.. Storer's sojourn in San
Sebastian, there have been no popular
demonstrations and there is nothing
to indicate that he will be received
here otherwise than courteously. 1t is
quite improbable that there will be
any annoyance or demonstration il
connection with his arrival.
Mr.. Storer has wired asking th1t
apartments be prepared at the United
States legation for himself his wife
and their servants; but as the legation
building is very small, he will prof.
ably be obliged to have recourse to a
hotel until a larger house can be
chosen for the legation.

MARVELLOUS SIGHT.
South African Bushmen, whose Eyes
Are Like Telescopes, Can
See for Miles.

1t has often been remarked that civil.
lied people tend to become short-sight-
ed. This is because in towns and cities
their vision is mostly confined to short
distances. Savage races, on the other
hand, are generally gifted with remark
ably keen sight, and few tribes are
more noteworthy in this respect than
the African bushmen, whose eyes are
veritable telescopes. This power is no
doubt a wise provision of nature, for
bushmen are a small race, and if they
were not able to see danger a long
way off they would be exterminated by
their various enemies, whether savages
Of other tribes or wild beasts.
A traveller in South Africa relates
that while walking one day in company
with a friendly bushman the savage
suddenly stopped, and, gazing across
the plain, cried out there was lion
ahead. The traveller gazed long and
earnestly in the direction indicated by
the bushman, but could see nothing.
Nonsense" he said, there's nothing
there" And he went forward again,
with the bushman following at his
heels, trembling and unwilling, and
still asserting that he could see a lion.
Presently the native came to dead
stop and refused to bulge another inch,
for this time, he declared, he could see
a ioness with a number of cubs, fact
which made the animal more danger
Gus than ever. But the European, who
could see no lioness, much less its cubs,
pushed ahead. After walking a quar-
ter of a mile, however, he could dimly
make out an object moving across the
horizon. Still doubling that it could
be the object which the bushman said
he had seen, he continued to advance,
and at last was able to distinguish
honess. with her cubs around her, walk
ing leisurely toward the woods

Ant. and Their Effects.

Small, soft and feeble as the white
ants are, yet by their numbers and
powers of destruction they have infiu-
enced to some extent both the archi-
lecture and also the civilization of the
country. To their ravages, which pre-
vent much the use of timber, is in a
great measure due the massive solidity
of the grander Indian edifices, and by
their devouring of paper and docu-
ments they have restricted the culti-
vation of literature; they have rem
dered the preservation of books diff
cult; they have continuously destroyed
the records that would have thrown
light On the history of the past.
