WASHINGTON REHABILITATED.

The Ellensburg Capital is being quoted
by the republican papers for the follow
ing smart paragraph:
"The state OF Washington is wearing
good republican clothes again, and Tor
tunately, the coat is long enough to hide
the Rogers patch on the bosom OF the
trousers:
The Capital seems to forget that at the
close of the last republican state admin
istration Washington's financial trousers
not only bore patches on the bosom, but
bagged at the knees, and was so frayed,
ripped and spotted that its tattered old
coat was hardly protection against in
decent exposure Of a person covered with
sores which were the result of folly and
corruption The state now wears sub
stantial garments of approved style,
but they are due to the wise and eco
nomical policy OF the Rogers admins

French colony is making rapid growth

Death of Marian Harris.

1t was shock to the community to
learn on Monday OF the death of little
Marian Harris, which occurred early
that morning. She had apparently been
improving rapidly since the operation OF
grating new cuticle over her severe
burns, and the friends OF the family
were hopeful of speedy recovery. The
end came suddenly and unexpectedly,
and the doctors think blood clot
reached the heart and stopped circula-
ton. Mr.. and Mrs. Harris have the
sympathy Of the people Of Yakima in
their bereavement. They have been
sorely afflicted, this being the third
death in the family within a year. The
age of the deceased was years, 9
months and g days The funeral was
held from the Methodist church on
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.

The suggestion made by Mr.. Snively,
printed in the column under the head
ing OF What People Say" is worthy OF
the careful consideration of the citizens
of Yakima. The legislature will soon
meet, and if any action is to be taken
there is no time to be lost. Yakima s
resources, location, productiveness and
other advantages should be clearly
shown and some definite statement
made regarding land which could be Sc
cured for such purpose, and its cost,
as well as analysis OF soil, weather re-
ports and miscellaneous data that would
be applicable and convincing.

Old Jed Prouty.

The Boston Transcript has this to say
of Richard Golden and his peerless
company in the now famous rural drama,
cold Jed Prouty:'
The Grand opera house was filled to
its full capacity last night when Richard
Golden began a weeks engagement in
his pastoral narrative of New England
life, old Jed Prouty,' of Bucksport,
Hancock county, Me-, by William Gill
and Mr.. Golden, under the management
of William Henry Rudolph. old jed
Prouty' long ago secured a prominent
place among the popular bucolic melo-
dramas OF the day, and notwithstand-
ing its age, it shows no signs OF growing
stale. On the contrary, it seems to gain
in richness. There are six characters in
the play which are perfect gems in their
way--Jed Prouty, the large-hearted, un-
sophisticated tavern keeper Zeb Hardy,
the long-legged, awkward, good-natured
teamster; lack Wilcox, the town crier,
constable and tax gatherer; Joe Slower,
a fine picture of the senile country store
keeper; John TODD, the village justice,
grasping, cold-blooded and unscrupu-
lous; and Tribulation Prouty, Old Jed's
maiden sister, as nice an old home body
as you could wish to see. Another por-
trait, that of Martha Giddens, the belle
of Bucksport, is also a good one, until
Martha becomes Mrs. Beacon Hill, then
she ceases to be interesting. But the
six characters named are each of them
so graphic and so humorous without be-
ing caricatures, that it seems almost
pity all the others were not left out

The atrocities committed by the
troops of the allied powers in China in
the plundering of cities, destruction Of
villages and promiscuous slaughter Of
noncombatants are disgrace to Christ
ian civilization. The murder OF mis-
sionaries by the BOXERS was inspir-
ed by fanantical sentiment. 1t was an
execrable proceeding, and deserves
punishment But it was the policy Of
semi-barbarous Asiatics and was car
ried out by low class of village rutfians,
whereas the hard hearted butcheries
committed by the Western troops are
ordered or permitted by nations that
boast of their enlightment, ethical cul-
ture, refinement and philanthrophy,
and are carried out by officers and sol
diers who pride themselves upon their
superiority and Observation-Disclosures

The census returns of the state by
counties show that the greatest percent
age of gain in population has been made
by Yakima county. In 1880 Yakima
had population of 2,s1l. In the next
decade the population was 4,429, and
in 1900 it had increased over three
hundred per recent, to 1852, and in the
twenty years just ended nearly five hun
dred per cent. Jefferson, Garfield and
Mason are the only counties in the state
which have fallen off in population in
the past ten wears. Iakima's net gain
in this period has been $685. kittitas,
l,24O. The small gain for kittitas Is
somewhat explained by the division of
counties by which she lost a portion OF
her territory in the gerrymander through
which the county OF Chelan was created.
In 1850 the population OF Washington
was POL; in 1860 it had increased to
H. 94; 1870 showed a population OF
1855, with 432 credited to Yakima
county which then embraced Kittitas ;
in 1880 the territorial population was
rs, in 1890, the next year following
admission to statehood, there was a
lump to $40, 800, while the late returns
show population of SIS, JOB.

MAY Be STRIKE ON CENTRAL
Officials and Employees Fail to
Come to an Agree
ment.

Especial to '"The Jersey City News'')
PLAINFIELD, Dec 81, 1900.-The nego-
tiations between the Board of Federation
representing the engineers, conductors,
firemen. brakemen and telegraphers en-
ployed by the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, and the officers of the company
over the demands of the employees for a
new wage scale were terminated Saturday
night, the employees and employers being
unable to come to an agreement. The
company virtually rejected the demands
of the Board of Federation Committee, Of
which L. p. Titus is chairman. The TAIL
ure resulted in call being issued for
meeting at once of the chief officers of
the various brotherhoods comprising the
Federation, who will endeavor to have the
railroad company accept the new wage
scale or come to some satisfactory agree
ment with the employees. Failing to do
khis they will determine whether or not
extreme measures shall be taken to force
the company to terms, such as declaring
a strike.
The chief officers of the various BROTH
erhoods who have been called together are
Grand Master P. M. Arthur, of the loco
motive engineers; Grand Master Wilson,
of the firemen; Grand Master Clark, of
the conductors: Grand Master P. H. Nor
risey, of the brakemep, and Grand Mas
ter M M. Dolphin, of the telegraphers.
The meeting of these grand officers will
be held in Jersey City, it is expected, the
latter part of this week.

FOR A STATE MONUMENT.
Sons of Veterans Desire to Erect q
Shaft to Their Sires

Under the auspices of General George
b. Mcclellan, Camp No. 80, Division of
New Jersey. Sons of Veterans, of Jersey
City, movement has been inaugurated
for the erection of a State Monument
typical of that organization. It will
probably be located upon a site, vet to
be selected and procured, in the city of
Trenton, the Capital of the State. In
several States the S. o. V. have memo
rialized their order by the erection of
marble shafts, and the members of the
organization in New Jersey feel that our
Commonwealth should not be behind sis
ter States in commemorating the heroic
deeds of their sires, whose places they
are soon to take, whose memory they
will ever revere, and whose deeds of 10y
atty and devotion they desire to perpet-
uate.
The necessary funds for this patriotic
object is being raised by popular sub
seription. The effort of Mcclellan Camp
is being aided by the membership gener-
ally throughout the State, and by mem
bers of the G. A. R., the parent organiza-
ton. Several State officials and conspic-
uous public men are contributing to the
success of the enterprise with their earn
est support, financial and otherwise 1t
is the desire of those having the move
ment in charge to secure sufficient funds
for the monument and attending expenses
in time to have the shaft completed and
erected by next Memorial Day, May 80,

NEW YEARS DANCE.
Golfers to Begin Twentieth Century
With Dance at Golf Club.

Jersey City society young people seldom
let a holiday week pass without some
sort of recognition. Christmas week they
gave a euchre at the Golf Club house,
which building. by the way, has become
very essential to society, and now they
will start the New Year with a dance.
The House Committee has issued invita-
tions to to the Golfers and few out
,siders for a dance to be given in the cub
house tomorrow, New Years evening.
Already the clubhouse is prettily dec
grated with Christmas greens, those ar
ranged for M iss Niese's dance, December
2S, which will be left in place for to-
morrow's dance. These greens, with the
addition of few additional hangings,
cushions and pretty lamps, borrowed for
the occasion will make the clubhouse
very effective in its New Years dress.
Refreshments will be served during the in
termission between dances.
