The legislature has adjourned after
having passed more than all average
number of important measures, and
few, if any, of dangerous or even
doubtful character. 1t INDUCED in no
vicious thrusts at capital and exhib-
tied most friendly disposition toward
labor. 1t will not be easy to dispel the
impression that in failing to compel a
reduction of the freight rates OH wheat
from Eastern Washington points to
tide water it failed to grant needed re-
lief to large number of the states
worthiest citizens, and yet if it is true
that any such reduction would GER
tainly have been followed 10y higher
rates upon shingles, lumber and lum-
Der products, and higher short haul
rates upon miscellaneous commodities,
then failure to enact any remedial rail
road legislation may perhaps be ex-
cused, if it cannot be justified. The
Runner bill. the best of the measures
was defeated by the Populist
majority in the senate, but it will not
be forgotten that the Lafollette bill
was defeated, and perhaps justly, by
the Republican house, which, how
ever. on the whole, leaves an excep-
tional creditable record to the judg-
ment of the people.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow. sunk n-cheeke dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with Kidney Complexion.'
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus-
ton and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until almost too late, because the first
symptoms are so like mid sickness that
they do not think they need medicine
or doctor until they find themselves
sick in bed.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build
up and Strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kid
ney-poisoned blood, Gear their complex
ion and soon they will enjoy better health.

Mr.. Thacker for copy of the bill, but

STATES DAIRY INTERESTS.

During the year 1898 the creameries
of this state manufactured 1850, 70S
pounds of butter, all increase over the
production of 1897 of 566 .252 pounds.
But this increase, while gratifying,
fell far short of the increased demand,
and it became necessary to import in
creasing quantities of eastern creamery
butter. Thus Spokane, which ham
died los, 27O pounds of eastern butter
i'm 1897, found market for 325. 954
pounds Of the eastern product i'll 1898.
Tacoma increased from $3.50 pounds
of eastern butter in 1897 to 1920
pounds in 1898; and Seattle from 259,-
900 pounds to 379. 300.
All told, the state imported in 1898,
1.122, 1872 pounds of eastern butter, for
which it paid, in first cost and freight
rates, close to 20 cents per pound. In
other words. the state sent quarter of
a million dollars east during the past
year for the single item of butter.
When it is remembered that there is
another drain for eastern cheese, an
other for eastern eggs, and another for
eastern beef, poultry and hog products,
one begins to catch the tremendous inn
portance of the development of home
industry.
Washington. with its rich soil, fine
water and mild climate, is pronounced
by dairy authorities to be admirably
adapted by nature to the production of
dairy products. The state should be
supplying the demand of its own peo-
pie, and sending great quantities beside
INTO Montana, Idaho, British Columbia
and Alaska.
In the work of educating the farmers
On the Importance of building up the
states dairy interests, the state agri-
cultural college is doing splendid SER
vice. The true wealth in Washington
will be found in diversified farming,
and diversified farming is essentially a
matter of education. The educated
farmer is the diversified farmer.

province of Wyborg was conquered and
annexed to Russia by Peter the Great
in 1871; the remainder of the country
became part of the Russian realm in
1909. Ever since that time the Rus
sian government has endeavored, by
conciliating the Finnish party, and pro-
noting objects of national Importance,
to attach the bulk of the population
to it's interests; as is shown by the
following decree issued by Alexander
l., in 1909, and which has been observed
by all of his successors up to the pres

sion of the grand Guchy of Finland, we have

laws of the land, as well ais the privileges
and rights which each class in the said

the constitution. We promise to maintain

WHY DON'T THEY KEEP STILL?
G0ldites Have Reason for COntin-
ually and Repeatedly ''l<illing''
the oliver Issue.

The Chicago Tribune and other gold
lite papers keep right on killing the sill
yer issue and print editorials to the ef-
feet that it is dead this time sure. "All
the northwestern states" says the Trib-
une, for instance, ''are dropping out
of the Bryan and sixteen to one pro-
cession. If the democrats stick to it
November, 1900, will see nothing of the
party left" The Tribune and it's asso-
ciate goldite sheets should be interested
in the success of the republican party
enough to keep still and allow the dem
ocrats to go on their way. The truth
of the matter is that these papers are
not only republican papers, but they
are the special instruments of the
money power as we'll. If the demo-
Gratis in national convention assembled
next year adopt the Chicago platform
(and that is a foregone conclusion) the
money power will be forced to put up
$4,000, 900 to fight the success of the
democracy, and will surely fall besides.
ri is, therefore. incumbent upon the
Tribune and other journalistic lackeys
of Lombard street to warn the demo-
cratic party against sixteen to one
Let the Tribune keep it up. The real

parent that it aids in the qualification

Under certain conditions the dead
are undoubtedly more fortunate than
the living. 10 rest beneath the sod
is better than to live and suffer.
Upon the eastern bank of the Poto-
mac river is the hospital for the insane,
called St. Elizabeth's. On the western
bank of the Potomac is Arlington Ma
tional cemetery. In the hospital hui
man beings live, all of them suffering
with mental disorders, and many of
them suffering continual physical
pain. In the cemetery upwards of 20,-
900 soldiers are buried, resting peace
fully and forever on flames eternal

Dead
St. Elizabeth's hospital for the in
sane is visible for many miles up and
down the Potomac. Travellers on in
coming and outgoing steamers view it
with their magnifying glasses, and
learn from guides the history of the
institution. Externally it appears to
be very attractive place. The build
1ngs are of brown stone, similar to the
material used in the construction of the
Smithsonian institution. Stone walls
10 feet high surround the vast acreage,
so that escape is practically impossible.
The hills on either bank of the Po-
tomac river, near it's head waters, are
high enough to be almost called noun
tains; and their undulations with val
leys and foothills produce picturesque
effects which are comparable only with
the beauties of the natural scenery
along the Mississippi river, from Prairie
du Chen to Minneapolis. BY the way
just as the falls of St. Anthony mark
the end of navigation of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river, so the great falls mark the end
of navigation of the Potomac river.
The falls which furnish so much valu-
able power to Minneapolis are rivaled
by the falls of the Potomac, yet I'm.
