GLOOMY FOR DEMOCRATS.

James Hamilton Lewis. of Washing ton state. who. in the single term that he spent in congress, made himself well known throughout the country. is in the city. says the Chicago Journal. AL though a democrat and a native of the south, he privately admits that the democratic prospects in the Puget Sound region are now very poor Mine hundred out of every thousand immigrants coming into our state are republicans" said he to your cores pondent today. They come from Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan. and from New England. Most of them seem to be strong party men, and they are carry ing the state out of our reach
 When it is considered how largely a state like Washington is made up of new arrivals. 1t is obvious that the po- ltical inclinations of those who are now going in there will have much to do with its future. MT. Lewis does not expect to go back In congress as dem- ocrat. It Is generally believed that he has an eye on the cabinet position be- longing to the Pacific coast, in the next democratic administration whenever there Is one.

 sentiment of communi- UNFINISH- ties through which the ED BUSI- president Is passing. and NESS. assuredly there IS enough in the record of things accomplished during his own administration to afford him ample themes for pertinent discussion on his trip to the Pacific. But the president is not content with these alone. The mes sage which he Is carrying across the continent is not simply one of congrat- ulation or of kindly personal greeting. Steadily and skillfully he is bringing to the attention of the people the un- finished business of the country, and enlisting the support of the people for the programme in which 1t will be brought up for future consideration.
 That message is the demands of com mercial expansion, and 1t has three items. One Is the isthmian canal, which was halted in the senate, the other is the reciprocity treaties which lie dead there: the third is the encour- agement of our ocean marine through subsidies--a purpose which was only

delayed by senatorial privilege To each of these items the president has referred repeatedly and may be expect ed to refer again. It is true that no allusion was made except In the most in- direct manner by Mir. Mckinley in his speech at the capitol building. and the words that might have been construed to be an allusion were perhaps only a reflection of wish, for Arizona could offer no support of these important measures.
 In his significant address on expan- sion before the Memphis board of trade. in his remarks at McComb that the way to make other peoples familiar with our products was to make them familiar with our flag" and in his ref erences elsewhere to the need of en- larging our foreign market, he indicat- cd the direction of his policy. The president was conducting a propaganda upon friendly soil when he took this message to the south and brought It west He will no doubt speak more ex- plicitely upon these subjects at San Francisco next week.

A GROWING HERO.

A good illustration of the way hero tales grow. even in this modern age of the world, is afford q by an account Of Funstons exploits in n recent num- ber of the Worlds Work. One of the achievements to his credit is described as follows 1: He took part in the eX- petiltion to the Death Valley in lSgl. His party spent considerable time In that fiery sink, sufferin gterrlbly. CT all the members of the expedition Fun ston Is the only one now living who Is still sane"
 Some of the other members of the expedition now living. and well known in Washington are Dr. C. Hart Mer- riam. chief of the biological survey: Dr T. s. Palmer. assistant chief; A. K. Fisher. the celebrated ornithologist. and p. w. Nelson, the well known Mexican explorer. The friends of these gentlemen are having considerable sport at their expense, with the asser- ton that they are no longer sane. One of the members was scheduled to deliv- CT a lecture before scientific society here a few evenings ago on his obser- vations in the Death Valley.
 He began by announcing that he was there with Funston and then read the statement as to the mental condition of all the other survivors. 1t naturally provoked some merriment. But the story has been widely eoni@d, and had, in fact, appeared in srbstance in other publications before it was taken up by the writer in the Worlds Work. It is safe to say that the correction vii soon be forgotten and that Funston's mem ta' primacy among the survivors of the expedition will be unchallenged in the histories of the future.

You may remember the story of the negro minstrels and the two-dollar bill.
 In it colored man THE comes in to the group STERILIZED on the stage with bill BANK BILL. in his hand and says;
 Any of you lost a two dollar bill? just picked one up outside the door," No one has lost 1t; but the end man reminds the finder that he owes him two dollars. and that now will be a good time to pay it. The debt 1t paid. and the another Of the company reminds the end man that he owes him two dollars. and the note Is passed on. Thus the bill goes from one to another. until 1t comes to a colored man who owes two dollars to the original finder Of the bill. and then it returns to the man it started with. Just after he re- ceives 1t white man rushes in and calls out. Any of you picked up two dollar bill? l dropped one few min utes ago outside this door" Heres your two-dollar bill. boss" says the finder: you can have 1t. but we've all done paid our debts!"
 This instructive story is brought to mind by the account of the invention Of a party in New Hampshire for the sterilization of bank notes. This inven- tion. which none of the banks seem to want. involves a sort of cooking Of paper currency when 1t is in the hands of the banks. in order to reduce the danger of infection from 1t. Such a sterilization might do some good: but the greatest danger of infection from bank note comes chiefly when 1t is circulating from hand to hand in the poorer districts and paying peoples. debts over and over again in the same mysterious fashion that the treasure trove of the negro minstrels discharged their obligations. The banks posses sion of the note is but a passing incl dent.
 Probably the whole matter comes down to this. that any careful person who recognizes the danger from germs in filthy lucre. and wishes to avoid It. must lnsipt upon having it sterillzed for his benefit--otherwise he won't re- ceive it If a friend. for instance, meetr this careful person on the street, and casually remarks. I'd like to pay you that ten dollars l owe you" the care full person must say Certainly, old fellow. but just come down to my office and let me sterilize the bill on my patent apparatus for the purpose" He must then run the risk of having the debtor put the note back in his pocket. looking somewhat agha.t, and disappear down the street-never to re- new his offer. Yet what careful per son, with the fear of germs before his eyes. would accept an unsterilized bill?

Is more common than we may think, if
 we define gluttony as eating beyond the
 body's need of sustenance and beyond
 the stomach's capacity for digestion and assimilation of food That is fair definition, and it fastens the name glut- Ion on many person who would resent the term as an insult The fact of this gluttony is marked by its consequences. The overloaded stomach becomes dis eased. The popular term for the condi- tion is rweak stomach. The "weak stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu- triton for the body. and soon the "weak- nessn spreads from the stomach 10 other organs

Jones was demonstrating be- fore an eastern lady his fearlessness in the presence of a Gila monster. the rep tile fastened its jaws upon his hand. It was subsequently pried off and MT. Jones was afflicted with a swollen tongue and burning eyes for an hour. This incident brought out the circum- stance that about two years ago MT. Jones was bitten by another Gila mon ster. The saurian died. About four years ago MT. Jones was bitten by a playful dog. No serious results were apprehended or even dreamed of by the friends of the dog. But about week later the animal began exhibiting hy- drophobic symptoms. It was then too late to do anything for it. and it died in horrible agony.

MIR. STEAD'S GLOOMY VIEW.
 The Rev. Wm. T. Stead seems to have survived his usefulness. He has arrived at a stage in fife when he sees things" One of the things he thinks he sees is war between Great Britain and the United states. The two na-' tions are going to fight over the Clay tom -Bulwer treaty. That treaty. accor- ding to Mir. Stead. will be torn into shreds and patches when congress meets. and Great Britian will have to choose between fighting and eating humble pie. It is safe to say that no such alternative will be presented to Great Britain. The two nations would be in sad need of a cause of a war when they pick quarrel over a treaty that simply imposes some unreasonable conditions on the construction of an isthmlan canal.-San Francisco Bu!le- tin

Among the wounded at the hospital
is ~12-year-old Carman Paer, who cries
increasingly for his uncle, who is dead,
having given his own life to save the

was Thomas Gerbargo, had made his

ing from the scene of the wreck says:
Only one man was found who was an
eye witness of the collision. A. w.
Ely, 70 years of age, residing at Sen
eca, stood at the depot platform and
saw No. 13 go by. He watched the
train as she went down the level track
to destruction His attention was ar
rested by a crash. Then a stream of
flame and smoke shot 500 feet into the
air. Ely rushed to the wreck and was
the first outsider on the ground. Ac-
cording to his statement the scene
was one of awful horror.
"When l got there the immigrant
cars were already on fire and the
shrieks of the burned and injured
were terrible. I got hold of n man
in the collapsed car and pulled him
out. He was horribly crushed and his
legs were broken. He died almost
as soon as / got him out of the car
Then I went to the burning cars and
what I saw made me wish I had never
gone to the wreck" The old man cover
ed his face with his hands.

was ahead of the immigrant cars. Of

UPHOLD CAPTAIN PERRY.
Each BeIligerent in Colombia Has
Same Rights.

o0utV NISHAos ISL r.
Washington, Nov. 29;-Naval officers
here are disconnected at the ill feeling
exhibited toward Captain Perry at
Panama because he will not allow the
railway to be used for the transporta-
ton of armed troops. After a careful
examination Of the presidents and the
treaty under which the United States
is now made solely responsible for the
safety of the traffic across the isthmus
they declare that Captain Perry had
no alternative.
Had he allowed the Colombian gov
eminent forces to use the railway on
the Panama end as they desired he
must of necessity nave yielded the
same right to the liberals, who hold
the Colon end of the line. The result
would inevitably have been conflicts
| and the provisional line would prevent
the free transit that Captain Perry is
there to maintain. Therefore his at
titude is held by the navy department
to be entirely correct.
