No Consolation for the "Antis.'

The Seattle Times fairly indicates
the sentiment of the returning soldiers
in the following:
"The smoker indicated very plain
ly that every member of the Volun-
teers present was in favor of expan-
sion. A number o. people have said
that 1t would only be necessary to get
the opinions of these very same volun-
teers to show that expansion was a
policy that could not be upheld by
rlght-minded citizens. They said,
s"Wait until the soldiers get back from
the Philippines and then you will
change your minds about expansion.
They expected that the boys would
advise that 1T wonld be best to give up
the islands. If there were any ofthese
people present last night they must

Every w";i in favor of expansion was

Mr.. Willis Statement.

"The anxiety felt by the people OF
Clallam, Jefferson and other counties
of Washington in regard to the effect
of the Forest Reserve is caused by mis-
understanding of the purpose of the
general Government. The original
establishment of the Reserves and the
present policy with reference to the
adjustment of their boundaries are de-
signed to benefit directly the COM
munities adjacent to them, and, in
directly, the general public.
The panic which leads any man to
take scrip for his land and sell it for a
song is unreasonable and it is this I'M
reasonable panic that they may injure
the communities. tits the duty of
every public officer who knows the
facts to tell the people that their rights
will not be ~interfered with, that the
agricultural lands will be open to set
Element and the communities will be
benefited.
when in February, 1897, the
boundaries of the Forest Reserves were
drawn they were based on the latest
filings in the General Land Office.
Only for special reasons were lands
filed upon included in the Reserves.
There was not official information
available concerning settlers on un-.
surveyed lands, yet, nevertheless, their
probable claims and the possible
means of future settlement were con-

Tuesdays Elections.

In spite of the fact that this is the
off-year, and that the opportunity was
used in some states by factions of the
Republicans to get even on other fac
tions, the party has been generally
victorious in the election battles, and
plenty of evidence given that the
course of the administration is sup
ported by the people.
Ohio elects Nash for governor and
the entire Republican ticket by a
plurality of 10000.
Kentucky elects the Republican
governor aud state ticket by small
plurality of less than ten thousand.
New Jersey, Ohio, Iowa, New York
and Massachusetts,, the home of At
kinsonaldo and the "Aunties" general
ly gave the usual handsome majorities
for the Republican ticket.
Nebraska and Maryland are all the
consolation the fusionists received.
The former was the result of hard
fight among republican leaders, land
Nebraska being the home state of
Bryan, great efforts were made there
to carry the state and keep Bryan to
the front.
South Dakota, considered a popu-
list state, and Kansas also rolled up
large majorities for the Republicans.
The main issue was expansion, the
silver and other propositions being lost
sight of largely, and the result is a
strong endorsement of the present
Philippine policy.

The family group were speaking OF
cats and their ways, and the peaceful
looking grandmother was asked to say
something.
The old lady smiled, for she is not
often sighted when in the company OF
younger people, and consented to tell
a story about a kitten she had when
she was a child.
st"You know" she said, "I had a

working about the house instead of
playing with a kitten, so he ordered
me to throw it in the brook which ran

After an hour or two he drew it from
