ACTION AND sELE.lNIERESI

In excepting to a declaration made
by the Evening Journal that there are
as many Sound Money Democrats in
Delaware now as there were in 1896. -
the Dover Press endeavors to refute
the statement by citing the action of
the Young Mems Democratic Club of
this city in endorsing Bryan. 1t calls
particular attention to the fact that the
men who were appointed by Adjutant-
General Garrett j. Hart TO draft the
resolutions were Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral Peter l.. Cooper, Jr.., Former At
torney-General John Biggs, Former
Secretary of State j. Harvey
Whiteman, County Chairman Patrick
Neary Charles IL. Ten Weeges and
William f. Kurtz. 1t implies that they
all were gold men four years ago, but
1t does not make the statement that
they all cut the Democratic ticket by
voting for Palmer and Buckner or Nc
Kinley and Hobart.
Let MS look at that list OF names and
see what it implies. Adjutant- General
Hart is United States Senator Richard
r. Kenney's private secretary. Mr..
Kenney is a candidate for reelection.
and General Hart has an interested
motive in furthering his candidacy.
Deputy Attorney General Cooper is
seeking the Democratic nomination for
attorney general, and, whatever his
attitude four years ago. he must needs
take the Kansas City dose or retire
from the field. Former Attorney Gen
eral Blggs is a candidate for United
States Senator. ]. Harvey Whiteman
has received much at the hands of the
Democratic party in the past and we
do not profess to know what he expects
from it in the future. In addition to
being chairman Of the Democratic
County Executive Committee, Patrick
Neary is political manager for Mr..
Biggs. Charles II. Ten Weeges drifts
from one Democratic berth to another
regardless Of the currency question,
while William f. Kurtz may be found
in the field for some office before the
Democratic skirmish for position is
over.
The Young Mems Democratic Club
never put itself on record against Bry-
an and Free Silver.
While there is no doubt that some
Democrats who we're opposed to Bryan
and the Chicago platform in 1896 will
support Bryan and the Kansas City
platform in 1900, and particularly thos,
who have motives Of self-interest fol
doing SO. the Dover Press lose:

The government plans for improving

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

U. s. Department of Agriculture
Climate and Crop Bulletin OF the
Weather Bureau, Washington section,
for the week ending Monday, June
IL, is as follows:
The fore part of the week was cool
for the season, but warm days and
cool nights prevailed during the latter
part, the last two days being quite
warm. Showers were general over the
western part of the State on the 9Th,
but they missed the southeast portion
altogether. There were also light
showers on the 9Th in the northwes st
portion.
Light frosts occurred in the eastern
and southwestern parts of the State
on the morning of the 9th, nipping
tender vegetables and potatoes, injur-
ing timothy, and perhaps doing dam
age to the fall wheat now in bloom.
For the most part the weather was
favorable to growing crops, the in
creased warmth being especially desir.
able for vegetables. With the excep-
ton OF the frost noted, it was excel
lent filling weather for fall wheat.
Althoug rain is much desired in the
Spokane and Big Bend country, the
wheat has made such a rank growth
in the southeast counties that it is Ca
pable of standing long drought with.
out material injury, and in the Yak
ina valley there is an abundance of
water for irrigation.
The uneasiness caused by the rust
IN wheat, as reported two weeks ago,
is somewhat allayed, as it is perceived
that it is confined to the leaves, and
has not yet affected the head and
stalk. One locality reports that the
Hessian fly is doing much damage to
wheat, especially'spring wheat. 1t is
the first report of the appearance of
the pest in this section.
Fall wheat in the Walla Walla
country is said to be the heaviest it
has ever been known, and unless I'M
toward circumstances arise, the COM
Ing harvest, which will begin in about
two weeks, will be one of the best on
record. Spring wheat is in excellent
condition, and if the necessary rain
occurs, the crop will probably be large.
For spring wheat there are always the
dangers OF summer droughts and hot
winds.
Having is now fairly under way in
the Western counties, and there has
been several days perfect for curing it.
The crop is fully up to the usual
standard. One crop OF alfalfa has al.
ready been safely housed in Yakima
and Klickitat counties. Hops are in
good condition, although they we're
somewhat whipped about by high
winds on the 4th and 9Th. Corn and
potatoes are reported as making excel
lent progress.

ipulate a political deal in the interest
of the Governor by the pardoning OF
Bishop in order that his testimony
might be used in the Japanese con-
troversy.
The News was the first paper to take
up the japanese question, and our
readers know where we stand on this
issue. 1t is time that this immigra-
ton was stopped; but when a dirty
cur like Bishop, who is convicted
thief and migrate, is given his liberty
that he may testify against a former
employer for political purposes, the
Governor has lent himself to piece
OF dirty work that can result in no
good to him. Whatever may be the
outcome of this controversy and the
charges preferred, the fact remains
that Bishops place is behind the bars.

Shooting Affray Near KamlIchie

A shooting ARRAY took place eleven
miles from Kamilchie last Monday, be.
tween Frank Mossman and a man by
the name Of Bergans. Mossman wa.
out hunting and his dogs were trailing
a wildcat, when Bergans heard the
dogs and ran out and commenced
shooting at them. Mossman ordered
him to stop, when he fired again.
Mossman then shot Bergans through
the right shoulder, knocking his gun
out OF his hands. Mossman then Sc
cured the gun and broke it across
a log. Bergans has a reputation of
killing his neighbors' dogs and bragg
ging about it, and they think he got
what he deserved. No arrests were
made.

Mrs. Tyrell. a Pioneer Of 1910, Dead
From our Regular Correspondent.

Mrs. Rebekah Tyrell died Monday
night at the residence of her daughter,
Mrs Layton, near Toledo. She was
the widow of F. w. Tyrell, and has
been a resident of Bucoda for some
years. She crossed the plains in
lS49, and first settled in Oregon, lust
across the Columbia from Vancouver.
From there she removed to Olympia,
and again to Ticknor's Prairie, near
the present site of Bucoda. Recently
she went to Toledo to spend the re-
naming days with her daughter. She
was born October 80, 1912, in Ten
nessee. Old age was the chief cause
of her demise.

Mrs. T. S. Mcclellan, whom the

Clellan fired two or three shots before

was up in Justice Schomber's court

There being no Justice court at Ten.
inc, where such trivial causes may be
tried, a resort is OF course necessary to
to the Superior Court, with an addi-
ton to the costs of four or five times
what they should be. The injustice of
such a statute is apparent, and the
law should be so amended as to make
it impossible for the residents of any
neighborhood to wash their dirty linen
at the public expense. Attorney Funk
announces his determination of an APP
peal to the Supreme Court to settle
the question of constitutionality of
the act.

Food for Comment.

The fact that only ninety votes
were cast at the school election last
saturday, is not altogether a compli-
mcntary event to the educational zeal
and up grade progress of our people.
TO say that there were no opposing
candidates in the field and everybody
was satisfied with those who were
elected, Is not proper way to put the
matter. Nothing is of greater import
ance in its far-reachng and ultimate
results than the free education of the
masses and every election involving
such vital interests should represent a
popular expression of the people. A
quiet and tame election, however, i'm.
plies 4 low ebb OF public enthusiasm.
Proper education Of the children is
the great highway to future citizen
ship OF h nor and renown and the
only panacca for the manifold ma
tiOiiai ms tiihI SOllNulSc tilt WI III W.
day.
Quiet and unassuming as was the
late school election, the parents Of
Olympia may assure themselves thai
the right men we're put in the righ,
places. The newly elected Director
for three years is professional edu
Gator, a teacher OF long and varied ex
perience, and an old resident OF the
capital city. The past record of the
reelected SchUul Clerk is a sufficient
guaranty of his fitness for the office
he has filled for term of years.
1t is too often the case that personal
interests and favoritism are the ruling
incentive. in the election of school
officers. While it is not essential that
they are college bred, or literally edu.
Gated, they should be men OF broad
views and fully alive to the great ak.
iomatic precept that in every COM
munity the children make the men
and women who are to take their
places.
