EDITOR UNION: For benefit of those

to all through the UNION. I left Min
neapolis Saturday, Feb. Is, arriving at
Spokane Monday, a. M, four hours
late, having been delayed by wash
out west of Butte, caused by chinook
freshet. The trip through the noun
tains was enjoyed from beginning to
end. The view of the snow-clad noun
tains to me was grand sight, and was
we'll worth the trip.
I found Spokane to be a fine city,
equal to Minneapolis, according to it's
size. It has elegant buildings, both
business and residences, built in most
modern styles of architecture. Its
streets are asphalt-paved, and are per-
feet. I find prices are fully as cheap,
and in some instances cheaper, than
Minneapolis, with exception of hard
ware and fine furniture, which are 10
to 20 per cent higher. called upon

1t is sight to see the fine orchards
around Spokane, and in fact, all
through the whole country. One man
in this section has 200 acres now
and will plant out 100 acres additional
this season. Spokane bears the same
relation to this country as St. Paul and
Minneapolis does to ours there as to

not have what is called "terminap'

as good a lunch or meal for 10 cents as
Minneapolis does for 20 cents.
This morning I started for Lewiston,
Idaho, coming down through the
famous Palouse country. It is rolling
prairie, with black soil and the finest
wheat land in the state. The yield
this year was from forty-five to sixty
two busheles per acre. The large
farmers use in harvesting a combined
machine, being both harvester and
threshing machine. It cuts, threshes
and sacks the grain in one operation.
This machine requires thfrty-two
horses to operate it, and will cut and
thresh forty to fifty acres per day. at
cost OF about 81 per acre, the sacks of
grain being left lying in the field two
to six weeks before being picked up.
At harvesting time there is no rain or
dew to cause injury. One popularity
here is that grain can stand six weeks
after it ripens and not crinkle down, or
damage. Another popularity of the
wheat raising is the volunteer cross,
which often cuts twenty-five to thirty
bushels per acre.
Potatoes grow fair crops without ANY
cultivation whatever. The quality Of

wArTERsoNO ON THE SITUATION.

Henry Watterson has been severely
criticised in some quarters for his con-

critics. MIR. Watterson said in part:
awe are not only world power, but
the world power. Our will already is law
in the Orient. There is no combine
strong enough to stand against us. The
commercial situation waits upon our
bidding. Why should we 60 to this
needless excess? Why should we SO dis
grace ourselves? Must we desecrate the
flag, degrade and brutalize the soldier,
abandon the constitution, and have
nothing at the end OF these surrenders
to show for it except a military despo-
tism in Asia, menacing free institutions
in America and belying all our claims as
republicans?
"This is the issue to be determined by
the people two years hence. In order
that they may know precisely what they
are doing the democrates in congress de-
mand the facts. The republicans refuse
TO rive them. The -hog-or-die policy

voters can be lured to sustain it they de-
serve no better fate that is being visited

PROTECTIONIsTS SHUDDERED.

A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Record Herald under date of April Sth,
referring to Representative Payne's
speech in defense of the Cuban reci-
procity bill, says: "Mr. Payne created
a furry when in reply to question he
admitted that the consumer and not the
foreigner paid the tariff. He expressed
surprise that any one at this date should
be so stupid as not to be aware of that
fact. This heresy caused shudder to
run through the frames of the high pro-
tectionists." A great many democrats
have expressed surprise that any one at
any date should be so stupid as not to be
aware that the consumer, and not the
foreigner, pays the tariff tax but Mr..
Payne is republican protectionist and
when he admits fact which democrats
have always asserted and which repub-
licans have always denied, we are not
surprised to be told by this republican
newspaper that "this heresy caused a
shudder to run through the frames Of
the high protectionists." -Bryan's Com
mOner.

since the failure to agree on legal assist

possible. Several sites were proposed.
One near the James Stewart residence
seemed to be the favorite except for its
high price, it being estimated that 81, 900

ABEL'S IMMACULATE GALL.
Tells Aberdeen How to do Things. Probable
Case Of "Bia Nit

Tells Aberdeen How to do Things. Probable
Case Of big Nit"
w. H. Abel came down from Monte
sano Friday, and about II o'clock that
night he visited the Olympus theater,
the Eagle dance hall and the Gem
theater, and notified the proprietors
that he had been employed by the
church people OF Aberdeen to have their
places closed, and that unless they COM
piled with his orders he would have
them arrested in the morning. He was
accompanied by o. o. Owens, who for a
skinful of booze acted as complaining
witness, and the worthy pair took the
Saturday morning train for Montesano,
and Owens swore out warrant for the
arrest Of S. G. Coleman, proprietor Of
the Olympus theater. on a charge OF
employing woman in his variety theater,
| where liquors are sold. Abel and Sheriff
Huff came down Saturday afternoon,
and Coleman was taken before Judge
Mullen, and his counsel, E. E. Shields,
asked for continuance, until next
Monday, May 10. This was opposed by
Abel, who acted as if he was county at
torney, but when asked who he repres-
ented, said he was counsel for his stool
pigeon, Owens. Judge Mullen granted
the continuance, and there the case re-
mains for the present.
That the shyster was not thrown out OF
one or the other of the resorts on his
head, can probably be attributed to the
establishment of their proprietors, who
are operating under city licenses, and,
so far as the city authorities know, are not
violating the terms of those licenses. And,
even it they were breaking a law, and
the attorney had knowledge of it, he had
no authority to order them to close their
places, but had the right OF any citizen
to take legal steps for their punishment,
and nothing more. The offered alterna-
tive OF closing up Or prosecution
has more the flavor of black
mail than OF a decent regard for the OBJ
servance OF the law.
A dilligent inquiry among the proho-
bition element of the city fails to dis
cover the employers of Abel, and, as the
smooth guy from Montesano appears to
have a fondness for interfering in Aber-
been affairs, the probability is that ne
was on little private flyer, with the
"big nit" extended, and, meeting with
no substantial response, the prosecution
was instituted.
There is but one way OF creating con-
tempt for the law greater than its wanton
violation, and that is to have its power
invoked for the furtherance of private
spites and schemes, and, should this up
on trial appear to be one of those latter
cases, it is hoped such an example will
be made OF the parties to it as will in
sure Aberdeen from its repetition for
long time to come.

ROSAMOND AND
RITHET ARRIVE
Schooner Beat Bark Ten Days TO
Port Losing Sails on
the Trip.

The four-masted schooner Rosamond
Captain Johnson. arrived from San
Francisco yesterday after a trip of
twenty-five days. She encountered
terrific gales coming down and lost her
topsails, foresail. mainsail, spanker
and flying jibs in the blow.
The Rosamond brought half cargo
OF general merchandise. and the fol-
lowing passengers: Mrs. Tarolton,
Miss Tarolton. Miss Dutot. Master
Tarolton, Miss King and 3. Brent Nit
chell.
For fifteen days southerly gales pre-
vailed and then the trades set in and
during the last week of the voyage
the schooner made as much as 275
knots a day. Molokai was sighted on
Thursday morning.
OF twelve hogs which left San Fran
cisco on the Rosamond only three sur
vided the weather. The vessel will
probably sail for Eleele in a week and
will proceed thence to San Francisco
with load of sugar.
The bark r. p. Rithet also got in
yesterday morning from San Francis
co, thirty-three days out, having left
port ten days ahead Of the Rosamond.
Practically the same weather was met
with as that experienced by the Rosa
mond. The bark arrived off Koko
Head late on Thursday afternoon, and
as she could not get a tug, hove to
until yesterday morning, when the tug
Fearless picked her ND nine miles to
leeward. Notwithstanding the bad
weather the Rithet sustained no dam
age and brought her cargo of 1000
tons of general merchandise safely to
port. The. only passenger on the bark
was Mrs. Craig.

by steamer to Vladivostok.
1t is pointed out that this Japan
route, besides reducing the journey
from America to Asia by two days,
will attract thousands of British and
American tourists to the Italy of the
East" and conduce to the growth of
relations between the Anglo-SaXons
and the japanese inimical to Russian
interests in the far East. The Rus
