THE DAVIS SUBSTITUTE.

Senator Davis has again come to the
rescue of his party and has introduced a
substitute for the Porto Rican tariff. which
provides that Porto Rico shall be made an
internal revenue district and that exec pit
ing as otherwise provided. IS per cent of
all the internal revenue taxes imposed by
the laws of the United States, shall be COL
lected in this said district. 1t also pro-
vides that there shall be no duties collect
ed on imports or exports from the United
act is made provisional and shall not con-
tinue after March I, 1902 1t is estimated
that this substitute will provide little
more revenue then will the house bill now
before the senateI 1t will further conform
with the views of the Republican party of
the nation. and solve the difficulty into
which the party leaders at Washington
have fallen
Washington reports state it is predicted
by those who have given the matter care
full thought that the substitute will become
popular. 1t follows the principle of, the
amendment which the senator presented

THE REFORM" INCOMPETENCE.

One of the chief points made by Gov.
Lind and his followers in the campaign
two years ago, was against the state grain
apartment Around that fight ragged the
hottest. Gov. Lind promised that if elect
ed hat department should be rejuvenated.
Had he promised that the department
ment should be entirely demoralized. he
could not have more completely kept his
word. So completely is the work of the
present department discredited that no at
tention whatever is now paid to the in
spection by it. but all buyers buy by sam
pie, The high reputation which the de
partment has always sustained in the grain
centers for accuracy, is a thing of the past.
This is one of the great accomplishments
of the present reform" administration.
Nor will there be lack of material on
which to conduct campaign in other
quarters. Nearly every public institution
in the state can be made an issue in the
campaign in the manner in which it has
been conducted under the reform" regime
where such Institution has been placed
under the control of the governors fusion
followers. AS some writer has said in
commenting upon the matter; "every
subordinate department of the state gov
eminent, every board and commission
which the governor has been able to fill
with his satellites, will come in for its
share of public condemnation when the
public comes to understand the reckless
and incompetent manner in which they
have been conducted. Already the state
has suffered some severe losses through
the governors socialistic fad of carrying
our own insurance. The price of binding
Irvine has advanced to greater degree
than is warranted in the cost of raw ma
terial. and there has been no compensat-
ing advantage to the farmers in reduc-
ton of expenses"
The great reform" deal has been
huge failure from the first, and the people
are beginning to find it out. In the first
place not one of the charges made against
the Republicans in the campaign two years
ago has been substantiated by results. All
the corruption and Encouragement alleged
to have been rampant in the various de-
partments and institutions of the state has
turned out to be, as the Republicans at
that time declared it was, pure fiction.
Evidence continues to accumulate on all
sides that the people are getting thoroughly
tired of fusion pretentions, and that next
November they will secure new hired
man" in the person of the genial captain
from Winona, to look after the affairs of
state and so go back to the good old days
of Republican rule.

in this he was mistaken, and he is coming

The Minneapolis Journal says: They
are talking in the Seventh district of a
railroad and warehouse commissioner COM
bine that doesn't seem to have been heard
of in other parts of the state. This talk
represents Lloyd, of lie Sueur, Torson,
of Watonwan-both of whom are avowed
candidates-and Henry Feig. of Randi
yohi and Chippewa-not hitherto con-
sidered candidates. having arrived at
an underst anding whereby they expect to
play both ends against the middle and win
out easily The story doesn't seem prob
able and will likely meet with prompt
denials.
1t is predicted that if the bill providing
for another federal judge in this state be-
comes law, that Robert G. Evans will
receive the appointment. Mr.. Evans is
in every way fitted for the place by tenn
perament and legal attainments, and it
would be most meritorious selection.

Dispatch says: Whatever errors of adj

in appointments can be charged to Repub-

SAWYER & FILLEY.

This firm engaged in business in
Olympia in August, 1891, occupying
the building now used by the State
Bank, from which quarters they
moved to the Turner Block in 1892,
thence to their present location in
April, 1897, where they conduct an ex-
elusive drug and manufacturing busi-
ness, in one Of the most handsomely
furnished stores in the State. The
success of the firm is due to the fact
that no substitutes are made or offered
in prescriptions or orders, and the
public can rely implicitly on their
competency and business integrity.
The manufacturing department is one
of their special features. A few years
ago they began in small way to make
chemically pure baking powder and
flavoring extracts which to-day is used
by almost every family in Thurston
and adjoining counties, and from a
few pounds year, they now manu-
facture tons annually, and new ma
chinery will be added to accommodate
the largely increasing trade.
