Galatians.
Among other places along the Span
fsh coast the queen regent Of Spain
visited recently on board the royal
yacht was Bilbao. This very import
ant town is the capital Of Biscay, one
OF the four sister provinces. 1t is
beautifully situated along the banks OF
the river Nervion and surrounded by
high and partly wooded hills. The old
town is very uninteresting, with its
ugly houses, many stories high, and
badly paved streets. There are one
or two fine churches and the quaint,
much-venerated shrine of Begonya,
perched high up on one of the hills.
The Bilbamous would never forgive
Maria Christina If she did not take
her youthful son to hear mass in that
miraculous "basilica." The new suburb
OF Bilbao-Ensanche-is very modern
and can vie with any other European
capital, with it's fine buildings and
we'll laid out parks.
The principal drive is by tie water
side, along which coquettish villas ex-
tend. Where the river flows into the
sea are two small suburbs called Por-
tugalete and Las Arenas-seaside re-
sorts with fine hotels and lighthouses
A splendid iron bridge, invented by
Spanish engineer, connects the two
banks; so high is it that vessels pass
ofC
go fa- up the river to the wharves
where they take in their loads of the
rich iron ore from the mines Of Prea
nera, Goldames, Friana and Castro.
Last year alone 5000 vessels, mostly
English, entered the port, carrying
away 100000 tons Of iron ore. Many
OF the mines are worked by English
companies, and in some aspects Bill
bso reminds one of an English sea-
port There is very large British
colony in Bilbao, the consul holding
one of the most important posts in
Spain. A quiet, restful looking ceme-
terry nestles on the bank of the river
ways dip their flags in token of respect
to this tiny corner of British terri
tory. The English sailors home has
been great boon, as yearly it helps
TO keep 10000 sailors out of mischief.
The Bilbamous, as the people of Bilbao
style, themselves, are, next to the Cata-
Ians, the most enterprising of Span
iards. Since the war with the United
States they have bought seventy for
eign steamers OF more than 1000 tons
each and have registered them in
Spain, in order to undertake the carry
ing of their own ores to foreign coun-
tries. The same enterprising spirit
is shown in their foundries, their
manufactures of every kind and in the
network of broad and narrow guage
railways all aroud Bilbao.
Unfortunately there is an equal ac-
tivity displayed by the extreme So
cialists in the rural districts Of Bis
cay and in the industrial and mining
country, almost to the very suburbs
OF Bilbao. In the suburb of Deusto
is the open-air ball game ring. where
thousands Of socialists assemble on
frequent occasions to denounce capt.
tai and the powers that be-. Wright

printing Office you should do it, not
as favor to the printer, but as a
matter Of loyalty to your town. Your
prosperity depends absolutely on the
prosperity and growth OF the conmu-
nifty as a whole and you don't deserve
a share of it if you don't contribute
your part. The newspaper is expected
to keep drumming away on home
trade. But what we say about buying
groceries, hardware, clothing, ETC., at
home applies with equal force to the
printers stock in trade. Remember,
before giving an order to travelling
salesman for job printing, or sending
away for something you can just as
we'll buy or have made at home, that
your future is wrapped up in the fu-
ture of the town you live in and that
you will prosper only as the commu-
nifty prospers.

The Beers appear to be in steady
retreat, fighting stubbornly whenever
q chance Of striking a telling blow
occurs. The British appear to be
steadily advancing, but at rate that
will not end the war very soon. When
we reflect that there are seven hun.
dred miles Of single track railroad
between Cape Town and Bloemfoun.
tein, the difficulty Of keeping an i'm.
mense army provided with subsistence,
is apparent. The further they 60 from
the base, the more difficult it becomes
for them to keep open their commune
cations. To the onlooker it does not
seem probable that the end of the
Boer:: war is in sight yet. 1t is easy
to fight battles and end war on
paper, but the actual accomplishment
of the task is different proposition
entirely.

py, as party, a much strengthened

every other war, will come in for its
criticism; the policy Of the admins
tration for its abuse, while the trust
question may with certainty be count
ed upon as a mark for the big guns OF
all political parties. Congress still in
session, has time to do much for the
party in power. 1t has measures under
consideration, popular with the peo-
pie and demanded by them. If no
time is wasted in useless discussion OF
important legislation the republican
party, with the great record Of the

the country and elect President Nc

think they can run newspaper better
than the editor. No doubt his satanic
majesty thinks the same thing, 60
next week we propose to give him IA
trial by turning over the NEWS to
him for one issue and letting him run
it according to his own notion. In
other words, the NEWS for Wednes-
day, May 10th, will be devil Of a pa
per. Suitable contributions for such
a paper, briefly written, will be re-
-ceived and considered if sent early in
the week. No church notices nor read
ing matter nor advertisements of a
religious nature will be received for
Wednesdays paper. We propose to
let the devil have full sway.

A VOICE. IN PROTEST.

All wheat growers and county ship
pers realize after nearly four years ex-
perience that the grain inspecting
law as enacted in 1897 fails in every
way to protect the wheat industry ..ih
Eastern Washington for the reason
that the grain commission and the
entire force of deputies are housed
with and continually under the in.
fuence OF the exporters and purclias-
ers of grain. ,.>:-.,. -... ~.
Under the operation Of the 1897
law the wheat grower in. Eastern
Washington must ship his. wheat
away; allow it to pass out OF his 'po-
session or ownership before quality or
grade is known, and il he is not salts
fed with the grade the law provides
no practical remedy.
There are many other reasons why
the grain inspection law affords no
protection to the grower and shipper
and in addition they, bear the export
ers expense in inspecting, grading and
weighing and they have no voice or
influence in their own interest. The
system under its present operation
has cost the producers indirectly
hundreds of thousands Of dollars in
the, past three years. ,.s...,.. -,
r. b. Wheat produces more. wealth than.
all other industries in the state Of
Washington and should haYe,tl,e pro-,
tectionSo OF the law. There should be
enacted instead of the, law. OF 1897. q
law creating 4 grain commission, a
board of three competent men, whose
duties shall be defined by law toa es-
tablish grades and rules governing in-i,
spection of grain; and authorizing the
governor to appoint one chief inspect
or who shall have jurisdiction over
all grievances arising out OF grading
and weighing of grain. Such law
should also create one chief deputy.
inspector for each wheat growing
county in the state to hold office in
the icounty seat With authority to APP;
point as many deputies and state
weighers as would be necessary for
service to be performed. The service
of deputy inspectors and stats weigher'
and deputy chief inspectors to be paid
by fees for service performed Of FIVE,
cents per ton to be charged to person
requesting service and such local in.
spection to be binding alike ON pur-,
chaser and seller, and il either party
has objections they may appeal to the
state chief inspector. This method
would enable the grower to ascertain
the grade before relinquishing his
ownership. Some practical business
man should announce himself as
candidate for the legislature and
who will pledge himself to promote
legislation upon the lines above, .indi-
Gated and also to use his influence to
force good railroad service and such a
man will deserve election without re-,
gard to political affiliations. :. =.
