Just a. much in evidence, no matter what
the measure that they may have under dis
cussion.
In short, the real purpose Of the flibus-
terep is TO delay action on all administra-
ton measures, even the appropriation bills,
in order to embarras the president and
compel him to call congress in extra ses-
sion. If this despicable plan is successful,
then these very people who have caused the
extra session by preventing action upon i'm
portant measures during the time available
will be the first TO excoriate the president
and the republican party, for what they will
charge as extravaganza, and desire to put
through all sorts of indefensible measures.
The worst Of it all 10 that, although the sim
cerity of a number Of these DIRECTORS has
long been questioned. it 10 only recently that
their personal honesty has been impugned,
but such pointed suggestions have been car
ried from them to those in control Of af-
fairs on the other side that "for . consid-
Grafton" they would cease their "opposi-
tion," that the most unworthy Of all mo-
tives now seems to be at the bottom Of some
Of the most active and malignant Of the OPP

Washington. Jan. "a
Before these words will reach the eye oil
the reader, doubtless, the army reorganiza-
ton bill will have been disposed of in the
senate. At this writing the majority are
30 wrought up over the flibustering tactics
pursued by few populists who have been
discredited by their own home suites, and
by few renegade republicans, who feel that
they must oppose everything that will in any
way strengthen the hands Of the adminis
tration, that there is every indication Of
some vigorous taking, and, II that don't
work, then some vigorous action, that shall
effectually squelch these bypocritical enc
mics Of American progress.
As matter OF fact, when the people, by
their votes, in last November, Endorsed the
administration and reelected President Nc
Kinley, the people also indorsed the prin-
ciples and the policies advocated by the re-
publican party and by President Mckinley.
These senators, however, who are now OPP
posing administration measures like the
army bill, for instance, know very well in.
deed that they are attempting TO thwart
the will of the people in taking whatever ac-
ton may be necessary to force to the rear
where they belong these discredited pops
and renegade republicans
The assertion has been repeatedly made
that the flibustering against the army bill
in the senate II not so much directed against
that measure a. it u against the shipping
bill, the latter being another great measure
demanded by republicans in their state and
national conventions, year after year, and
which has been before two successive con.
gresses, and twice favorably reported for
passage by both the house and the senate
committees having the bill in charge But
it is being seen, now, that the shipping bill
does not deserve this aspersion. The army
bill, on its own merits, il opposed BY the
flag ends Of repudiated and discredited and
bobtail parties, solely TO embarrass the pres
ident, and to give aid and comfort TO the
nations enemies in the PHILIPPINES.

Ex-senator Hanna is quoted as saying that
his mail contains each day number of re-
quests, ranging between half a dozen and
a dozen, from students in the high schools
and colleges and universities, for copies of
his and other speeches on both sides of the
shipping question, in order that members Of
debating teams may familiarize them
selves with the arguments pro and con. The
subject is one Of the most popular debates
now throughout the country, and the results
of these debates, almost invariably favoring
subsidies, are extremely gratifying to Sena-
tor Hanna.

DThe effect Of the passage Of the ship
ping bin will be two-fold: !. 1t will add to
our qussi-military and naval strength, and
give ~ power and a prestige upon the sea
which We sadly lack at present. q It will
gradually give to our own people the carry.
ing of our $500, 100000 worth of foreign
commerce, and hence TO our own people the
employment that goes with the payment Of
$2O0, 900, 900 for carrying our foreign COM
merce, 81 per cent. Of which now goes into
the pockets of foreign ship owners.

celebrated the event with triple hang
ing. Then came the public spasm Of
virtue which caused the John Oak
bursts and the "outcasts of Poker Flat
to depart from thence and die Of cold
and starvation on the snow bound road
to Sandy Bar. There are no soak
bursts nor Uncle Eillys" in Poker
Flat today. and when the stranger
makes the slow descent and suddenly
by a sharp turn in the trail comes upon
the famous camp he finds in that hud.
die of cabins little to remind him Of the
Poker Flat of 1852.
The famous slope presents almost a
picture of utter ruin. There are but
eight persons living in the old town,
while hundred dead ones sleep in the
cemetery. Some of the graves are
marked with wooden headboards, some
with stakes, but many have nothing
above them. Nearly all Of them were
laid to rest without religious rites save
a Bible reading by old Charlie Pond,
who. though professional gambler,
was selected for the religious office
owing to his excellent voice and ora
torical ability.
In 1858 and 1854 there were 2,00O
souls in Poker Flat and u stores, 3 ho-
tells. 3 dance halls and Z gambling
houses. There is but one man left to-
day of that original company. He is an

Fresh from the tree an orange Is still
very much alive, with the oil cells eX-
banded and the mystery of growth not
yet suspended. Cut off from the sap
supply, change takes place. The skin
draws closer to the pulp and gives off
moisture that would cause sweating If
the fruit were packed Mt once. But
first these dust stained travellers must
have bath.

, the lower edge works In connection
with another set of brushes In small
er tank below, and the oranges, after
bobbing about In the big tank, pass be-
tween the wet brushes and come out
bright and clean.
This washer Is a neat machine and
does away with the more primitive yet
picturesque method Of hand washing.
At some of the smaller packing
houses may still he seen groups Of wo-
! men, sometimes white. sometimes
brown skinned, each with tub Of wa
ter and brush, scrubbing busily away
at the yellow piles that never seem to
grow less till the last hour Of the day.
After their bath the oranges are
spread out in the sun to dry on long,
slanting racks. At the lower end they
roll Off into boxes, to be carried away
to the warehouse for their rest.
An orange needs deal of grooming,
It would seem, before 1t Is ready for
