A FEW pertinent INQUIRIES.

ED. STANDARD:
l wish some Republican would in
form me, (if he can, which l think is
doubtfuD why the 5000 bankers of
this country should have the use OF
$347 $50, O20 of bank bills without in
terest? As near as can figure out,
this money produces them about $780,.
100000 per annum. What service do
they render the country for the priv.
lege? Why should the whole people
give the few bankers money without
cost? Is it because the people get
their money without cost? Don't the
people have to pay interest when they
get this money from the banks?
Again; why is it that five years ago
binding twine retailed at 81 cents per
pound, while to-day, with all the
great improvement in machinery that
has cheapened the cost Of production,
the farmers are skinned to the tune of
II cents per pound? The price of
wagons has advanced $l4; the price OF
barbed wire has doubled, or advanced
one hundred per cent, and all other
farm machinery advanced in proper
ton. What does this mean? Does it
not show, conclusively, that hundreds
of millions OF dollars are being filched
from the pockets of the farmers to
swell the bank account of the manu-.
facturer? Do you think this could be
done without protective tariff? If so,
how? Under the present system the
creator Of wealth has to take what the
buyer of labor or labor's products will
give and pay for what he wants, what.
ever the seller asks. Don't you think
this is rather a one-sided proposition?
1t strikes me that if the producers of
wealth would do more thinking and
less work they might find way of
shifting the burden on the other fel.
lows by way of variety, and see how
they'd like it. OF course they'd
squirm. but its no more than right
that they should be compelled to take
little of their own medicine.
To my mind, there is but one way
to shift the burden and that is to rid
Ourselves of the Republican octopus,
the father OF tariffs, trusts, combines
and skiuning banking systems, and re.
establish pure Democracy.
&c. Coo.

The Monarch mill at Whatcom
lately sawed into log when the big
rotary saws encountered a large steel
bullet firmly imbedded in the heart OF
a maple log which was being cut up
for the hard wood it contained. The
bullet, which was II inches in d..
ameter and about two inches long, was
cut entirely in two by the saw which
was considerably damaged aud had to
be replaced by a sharp one. Besides
the bullet the log contained a large
number OF nails of different sizes. The
shot was probably . souvenir of the
times when the gunuers on revenue
cutters were in need of target practice
and somewhat careless which way
they pointed their rapid fire guns.

Gervais, representing the French Re-

the horses, and Reid was to have been
placed in the front seat facing back

matter was finally referred TO the
American Minister and lie communi.

ranted attack on Solicitor Penfield, OF
the State Department. Bailey asked
for retraction of the charge, claim.
ing that it was an insult to him.
Beverage said he had no intention to

by the throat and was choking him

De Tierre Was Insane.

A few days ago petition was circu-
lated in this city for signatures testify.
ing to tie general good character OF
johnny" De Teirre, a former resident
Of Whatcom and this city, who last
March murdered his brother, in AL
baDy, n. Y. IL seems that DeTierre
thought that his brother had dcfrauded
his mother out 0f her rights in their
fathers estate, and being of an excit-
able nature. this wrought upon his
nerves until in frenzy he did the aw.
full deed o! shooting to death his broth
er. All that his Olympia acquain-
tanccs could say in his defense was
that, while here, he was a quiet, ino:.
fensive citizen, OF cheerful disposition
who numbered among his acquain.
tances many warm friends.
An Albany dispatch has since come
to hand stating that commission oil
insanity experts have adjudged Mr.. De.
Tierre insane, and that will terminate
the case against him for murder. The
physicians describe De There's afllic.
ton as paranola. and explained that
the disease is practically always hered-
itary, in which there is a marked ner-
vous faint, with systematized delu.
sions and Authorizations. He always
spoke OF people being in his cell, and
seemed to think he could walk out OF
the prison at any time. He said he
was given cell simply as place to
rest up for his LIES great work.
Mr.. De Teirre went East in 1896,
but it is said did not meet with much
success in life's battle, and it is proba-
BILE that dependency, united With
worry over his fathers will, which
made the brother Will, sole legatee,
and deposed the mother, as he thought,
OF her just dues, that he became wholly
demented, when the horrible deed was
committed. 1t is said that the medi.
cal commission ts unanimously OF the
opinion that he is incurably insane.
