IT was given out some time ago
that Dewey asked that a statesman
be sent to Manila. When the
commanding general about Charles
ton directed certain colonel to
cross some water and swamps to
dry ground, upon which to plant
battery, the colonel protested
that 1t was impossible because OF
swamp, fallen trees, deep water, etc.
The order was that he make requls-
ition for whatever he needed, but
not to say"I can't" Whereupon the
colonel called for "long 49," and
made requisition-for fifty men with
legs ninteen feet long, and made
the usual oath that they were ne
cessary to the service. Dewey's
application for statesman has the
same irony; and the war depart
ment is looking up the lexicons to
find the meaning of "stateslnan.'
Meanwhile old Time flies at Man
lila, and the people are glad that
we have some big gunboats there to
save our soldiers in case Of trouble.

The Country Waking Up.

Public opinion against the policy
of territorial expansion is making
rapid Roadway throughout the
country. The subject has never
been adequately discussed by the
American people. 1t has, so to
speak, been sprung upon the nation
as the accident of a successful war,
and under the impulse of patriotic
enthusiasm and military victory
our acquisition of new territory has
been accepted as the finger post OF
destiny pointing to policy of
imperialism for the United States.

E. A. Willis made flying trip
to Port Angeles last week, and he
seems to be very favorably i'm
pressed with that part of our state.
He says language fails him to give
expression to his satisfaction with
his experience among the happiest,
kindest and jolliest lot of people he
ever met with, and he thinks the
place we'll named; for, he says, it
certainly is in more ways than one
a "Port of the Angels" 1t is a
grand townsite, and one Of the best
harbors in the world. He tells us,
also, that he stayed there longer
than he intended, owing to some of
the aforementioned facts, and
should he again visit that place
later in the season when nature is
at it's best, these conditions, coupled
with the kindness and geniality of
those people there is no telling
what the result might be.

THE STAR SPANGLE BANNER.
Our flag was made in the year
1777 June IA 1t has three colors,
red, white and blue. The red
stands for patriotism, the white for
purity and the blue for freedom
and truth.
The flag has forty-five stars and
thirteen stripes. When this flag
was made there was just thirteen
states.
Washington went over to a
ladies house and asked her to make
the flags and she made them for all

Seattle Times:-"It would seem
that the leaders OF the Peoples
party do not consider themselves
either defeated, worn out or incapa-
BILE of a complete reorganization.
They will undertake, therefore, to
combine citizens of the state OF
Washington, who sympthize with
the St. Louis platform, into one
harmonious whole during the next
two years-not of going it alone
but for the purpose Of being organ
lied and presenting a solid front
to their great enemy, the Republic
can gold standard party. The
scheme is to organize each precinct
township, county and, finally, the
state into a grand council, after
methods adopted by the Republi'
can party in Minnesota for the
organization of Republican leagues
If the efforts of the leaders shall
be half as successful in
Washington, in the organization
of the Peoples party, as the leaders
of the Republican League were in
the organization of their asso'
citation, great results may be OBJ
tained.".

WE TOLD YOU so.

In speaking of the change OF
county administration from Peo-
ple's party to Republican, the
Tacoma Sun says:-"On January
9th the fusion forces turned over
the offices to the newly elected Re-
publicans, the elected commission
ers of that party took charge of the
county affairs. In the Ledger of
the Goth instant we read there is
an eager rush to buy our war;
rants, presumably by the brokers,
and for the first time for a long
time on presentation of warrant
on the general road fund the re-
publican trade mark of presented ;
but not paid for want OF funds,
stares the owner in the face. The
people were warned against put
ting back in power the party of the
broker and banker, but they thought
they could trust them again, ana
while the Sun felt that the result
would be to force the man with a
warrant to hunt up broker,
we had no idea it would start so
soon. It is true there is but one
fund 80 situated at present, but the
ones in charge will see that all are
in the same category before many
months roll over the heads of the
people of Pierce county. Come to
think of it, the sound money
crowd are doing very rapid work to
bring about the change from cash
to broker in eleven days."
Is it not fact that the same may
soon be said of almost every county
in the state? You were warned in
due season, but you spurned our
warning.

"There are many flags in many
lands,
There are flags of every hue,
But there is no flag in any land
Like our own red, white and blue.
Every country has flag; but
none has been SO grand as "ours."
1t was originated June IA, 1777,
Just one year after the Declaration
of Independence was signed. 1t
has thirteen stripes alternate red
and white. These stand for the
thirteen states at that time. 1t has
forty six stars for the forty-six
states now.
The red stands for patriotism, the
white for purity and the blue for
truth. One woman made all the
flags in the United States for a
long while. "The Star Spangled
Banner" has never been defeated in
the wars. l should not like to
have our flag changed. 1t is the
emblem of protection.
l hope it will long wave over the
land of the free and the home OF
the brave.

NEW YORK DRIED FRUIT MARKET.

The New York Commercial says of dried
fruit and raisins: Peaches have not been
IN as strong position for years. If they were
ever there before. The present total supply.
so far as is known, is not more than 20 per
cent of last years supply at this time. High
prices will cut down~consumption somewhat,
but probably not more than so per cent That
is, while consumption may be reduced
half by unusually high prices. the supply has
decreased fOur-hfths, as compared with pre-
vious years 1t is considered that, though
The reason given is that people want peaches,
and there substitutes They must have
peaches, or they must go without the variety
Of fruit they want. The consequence is that
smaller demand than usual, owing TO the
higher range of values, the restriction Of high
prices viii not be sufficient to prevent the
sale of everything now known 10 exist in all
hands.
''Apricots are scarce, but probably there are
larger supplies than there of peaches
Gamers were enabled by a series of favorable
circumstances TO secure the bulk of the crop
the canned sort is as plentiful as usual Quo
tations rule high on all desirable grades and
show advancing tendency. Dealers anticipate
active demand and a bare market when spring
trade begins which Is likely to occur shortly
''Prunes opened steady at previous figures
and there moderate demand for medium
sizes. Large sizes are eagerly sought, while
mediums are somewhat neglected. Buyers are
being forced by circumstances to take them,
but they demur as long as possible There
are few left on the coast in any hands, though
buyers say they are having no difficulty in
getting all they want II they are willing to
pay the price.
:Raisins are unchanged Demand is light;
ments. and trade is upon a narrow basis with
no indications or broadening"

THE ADVANCE IN TIN.

Dealers Predict a Rise of More Than 20 Per
Cent in Canned Goods.
The New York Commercial says: Leading
dealers in canned goods when interviewed on
the subject of the probable effect upon the trade
Of the recent advance in the price Of tin ex-
press the opinion that the goods already
packed will not be affected
Regarding the effect upon future business.
said one prominent dealer, there can be no
doubt that the increased cost of tin will en-
nance the value Of the manufactured article
and so add 10 the cost of the various products.
The advance Will amount to more than 20 per
cent and l understand that some manufacturers
of tin cans have been obliged to pay as much
already. Some people have confused the re-
cent advance in the prices of sardineS due to
q natural and healthy condition of the market
with the rapid rise in tin. 1t has nothing to
do with IT, nor do I believe the increased firm
ness of the other canned goods can be traced to
the higher prices of raw tin. There may be
some truth in the statement, however, that
held at prices TO correspond with the rise. in
raw material.
A % per cent advance coming all at once
naturally encourages all sorts OF rumors, but
while the effect Will be felt more or less by the
packers, the consumer in the end is the only
one who pays it I do not think there will be
fewer canned goods packed, unless, which is
extremely unlikely, the supply Of raw material
gives out entirely. The demand for canned
goods is increasing year by year. and a few
cents additional TO the cost OF a can of goods
IS not going to interfere materially with the
consun ptton-'
