English Cabinet Secrets.

Secrets of state are probably the best
kept of all secrets. When cabinet min
listers in England first are admitted to
the privy council, they have to take q
solemn oath not to make known the
conversation or proceedings of cabinet
councils or any communications they
may have with the queen or with an
other minister. They cannot give a
hint of such things even to the highest
members of the government who are
not cabinet ministers. No clerk or sec
rotary is allowed to be present at cabi-
net councils. no written record is kept,
and it is the custom not to take any
notes; hence no one but the crown and
the ministers ever knows what has re-
ally been said and decided at cabinet
meetings. The oath of secrecy lasts to
the end of life An eX-cabinet minister
is as much bound by it as an actual
cabinet minister.
Any conversation minister or peer
may have with the crown on state mat
tiers must also be kept secret. So must
letters to and from the sovereign. And
even communications that have passed
between SovereignS and ministers of
former reignS must not be divulged
But in cases of extreme urgency the
crown could and would allow a breach
of the oath of secrecy

The STATE OF WASHINGTON - is
known as the Evergreen state because
of its vast forests. Outside of the linn
tied areas of Big Trees in California,
there are no such forests of pine, fir.
hemlock, spruce, timbers and fine
shingles made from them are shipped
all over the world. Washington fruit
is produce of great value. Its flavor
and color are unsurpassed. East of the
Cascade mountains. the climate is dry
and warm and mountain irrigation
unnecessary and the rainfall is ample
for all purposes. Canneries and fruit
drying establishments can be operated
proitably in this state. Grain, hops
and alfalfa are very profitable crops
and beet sugar is rapidly making head
way. Washington is a coming empire.
Brains are in demand in all professions
and labor is wanted and is paid renum-
erative prices. Fuel. coal as well as
wood, is abundant and cheap. Schools
and churches abound, the state is we'll

we do the taking of all patronage
out of the hands of the Governor
and restoring it to the people where
it properly belongs. We would
deprive the Governor of all power
to appoint public officers except
to fill vacancies until an election
could be held. But we do not
need to turn the Democratic party
out Of power to accomplish that.
The way to bring it aboat is to

WhereiEEauGl Lies,

of '96." If there was any 'frand

publicans should sing very low
about it. Governor Foster has

pose of aiding in the contamination
Of that alleged fraud by preventing

taking the gubernationaI chair, to
which, it is alleged, he was honest,
have seen no denial Of it from Mr..
Gallery or any Of his friends, then
he was particeps criminis in the
fraud and is as guilty as any Demo
crat in the State.
But there is another matter that
it is not pleasant for the Republican
leaders who are shouting fraud to
dwell upon. At the Alexandria
convention, Mr.. Dudley Coleman,
one of the leading and most inAuen-
tial aud esteemed Republicans in
Louisiana, openly declared in the
convention that he had been assur-
ed by afellOw delegate that i'll 1896
Capt. Pharr was nominated over
his rival Republican aspirants for
Governor by forged tclegraphic
dispatch. Capt. Pharr nor any
