COTTON BULL hAYNE
OF NEW ORLEANS GIVES SECRE-
TARY WILSON A VERY
SHARP RAP.
He Says the South Has Profited a
Hundred Million Dollars by
the Bull Campaign.

New Orleans, La, Oct 27-Frank B.
Hayne, the cotton bull who worked
with William P. Brown in the recent
campaign, has answered his critics.
Of Mr.. Wilson he says:
The most cut! ageous and unwaT.
ranted criticism of the sO-called New
Orleans bull clique came from the
secretary of agriculture, Mr.. Wilson.
a cabinet memDer. Never mind what
ing these transactions, l consider thai
every coed American citizen should
have felt outraged by government Of
ticer in his official capa city tenouncins z
private citizens in carrying on their
business. Secretary Wilson shower
such complete ignorance of the sub
ject, however, that his remarks arc
hardly worth answering. Dollar wheat
and Is cents corn, in his opinion, are
quite legitimate; but he seems tc
think that for the southern planter TO
receive II cents for his cotton is an
outrage. His idea regarding the south
apparently is, damn the poor, let them
wolk-they are used to it
Some paners contend that the bal
campai"n helped no cno but the few
interested in the New Orleans no9l
| do not think the southern farmer
who should know best agrees with
them in this. Cotton advanced from

tire rise. but | do contend that If Mr.
Brown and myself anu the friends
connected with us, when cotton Was
at 8 cents. had worked as hard aad
used the same energy to bear cotton
as we did to bull il, the average price
the southern farmer would have Gb
tanned would have been at least s10
per bale less.
"The THOUGHT that may have in any
way aided the south to obtain s109,.
100000 more for der crop compen-
safes for any criticism that may be
heaped on me by the northern press

southern farmer prosperous, even if
the mills of the world have not paid

DEMURRER IN ELECTION JUDGES
CASES oVERRULED AZ HOT
SPINGS.
Election Law Designed In T!.is State
To Prevent Fraud and Tn.
due inf!uerce

Hot Springs, Oct. 27.-Judga Duffie
{: the circuit court has rendered mis-
decision in the election cases taken I'LL
Dc: advisement about two weeks ago
The court overruled the demurrer of
TIE. defense an the cases will have to
go to trial. All the election judses Of
Ia. last city election but in twn wards
were indicted by the spring term
grand jury. Several OF the indicted
Judges are very prominent citizens.
The following is the concluding pait
Of the decision:
1T is plain that the law governing
the manner of conducting elections in
this state is designed to prevent fraud,
abuse and undue influence. The yot-
ers have a right under the statute
to cast their ballots in secrecy, with
out the interference of any person.
If unauthorized persons are permitted
to- enter the polling room the purpose
of the act is at once defeated and zen
dered null. Such persons have no
right to come nearer the polling room
than fifty feet, and if those in charge
Of admission to the polling room ad
nit them, they surely violate their
oaths and duties under the law, if
they do not render themselves GRIMM
ally liable. Do they render them
selves criminally liable? Perhaps it
is true that the sheriff and his dep
uties have exclusive charge of adj
mission to the polling places, but il
the election judges eonnive at, wink at
or expressly consent to the violation Of
law by the persons having charge CT
admission to the polling places, they
render themselves criminally liable un-
der the law. 1t is, at least, the duty
of the judges to call upon the sheriff
to eject such persons themselves.
"In misdemeanors all persons who
procure, participate in or assent to
the commission of crime. are punish
sent there must be some willful OF in
territorial violation of duty, as Assent
ing to an unlawful act. knowing it is
being done But if, with such knowl-
hedge, a person neither objects nor op-
poses when it is his duty to object
and oppose and when he has an oppor-
tunity of doing so; this is assent. lb
Am. Rep; Greenleaf on Ev., Sd VOL.
p. 40.
81 think the indictment charges an
offense under the statute, and the de-
murrer thereto is overruled. The mo
tion to quash because one Of the grand
jurors heard none of the evidence is
also overruled. The supreme court
has passed directly on this point.

the Rose Cecilia Shay Grand Opera
| company makes it appearance here
| next Friday evening. The young al
tist who heads the organization this
season and her assistant managers
have personally given this matter
their gravest attention, and it is no
eXaggeration to say that every opera
produced tout-a-fait Effort has been
made to avoid the garish, florid effects
so common in the trihing productions
of the day, and to present the master
works, which are included. handsome
ly, yet historically, correct. More
than $4,000 has been expended on
the productions, and the cOstuming
of the operas is in every instance su-
perb. Miss Shay is conceded to be
the handSomest woman singing in
grand opera on the American stagc,
and she we'll graces the magnificent
costumes that were purchased fof
her in Europe last summer The
chorus women in the company are
almost without exception beautiful
and were selected with view to their
comeliness as well as in consideration
of their fine voices. They represent
the most attractive and best-voiced
women out of a thousand or more ap-
plicants. Judges Of beauty declare
that it is the prettiest chorus out of
New York There are a number of
young women in the chorus of excel,
lent family. and in several instances
their mothers travel with them, that
they may gain the experience that
can only be had in a company of the
character Of Miss Shay's, who is a
stickler on points of etiquette and
high morality.
Full OF pathos at one moment and
merriment at the next, Eben Holden
pleased a large crowd at the Elks The
ater last night The stoIy of Ebe1
Holden is too we'll known for com
ment, but the stCry loses much of ite
power in the dramatic production. Mr..
Henry Horton in the title role handles
the part like a true artist and gives a
most pleasing presentation. Next to
Uncle Eb' himself, Tip Taylor, the
hair lip with Mr. Clany in the part, is
the principal fun maker OF the pro-
duction. Miss Adele Lane as Hope
Brewer, and Henry Mortimer as Will
lam Brewer both have pleasing per
formances. and the rest Of the COM
pany was up to the average. The play
of Eben Holden pleases that part Of
the audience which has not read the

Roger and l went to the
interstate fair today and saw
fine cattle, horses, hogs, etc.
One hog weighed 935 lbs, and
it had four legs, too. We also
saw a fine display of fruit,
minerals, grain, marble, vege-
tables and everything that goes
to make a good exhibit. We
saw GOOD corn, oats six feet
high, wheat four feet, millet
four feet, alfalfa three feet,
red top four feet, ETC.; potatoes
so large that a bushel Of them
would fill a barrel, and fourteen
from a single hill; sweet pear

Hillyard, Wash, October II,
'O3. Friend Bob It has been
some time since my last, but for
some time we got no papers
Nimes) and as | did net keep a
copy of my letters, | was afraid
[ might re-tell somethi lg and
not get it the same; for this
being an unusual country, after
a person has been here for a
month, it is something unusual
for them to tell the truth, and
as | have been here over a
month | have to be very careful
in making statements. Well,
on Sept. 9th, we three, Hall,
Roger and myself, started out
on another tour Of exploration
and discovery. At the point of
the bluff where our prairie
merges into the Spokane valley
is located a fine rustic park.
The intent has evidently been
to preserve, so far as possible,
its natural features; and with
the exception of the rustic
stone fence, with arched stone
gateways, and a stone house,
the interior seems to have been
left as nature moulded it, if in
deed it was moulded at all; but
it looks as if it was a huge mass
of rubbish left over from the
making of the universe, and
had cooled before The Great
Architect could make up his
mind what to do with it-huge
rocks, and cliffs, and chasms,
and glens, all covered with the
ever-present fir and pine. Say!
it may seem a big story, but
this miserable fir lumber is so
full of splinters that the saw
dust will stick in your hands.
From this rustic park we
crossed the valley to the Spok-
ane river. This is a fine stream,
here about eighty feet wide,
and water as blue as the azure
Esky. We crossed the river at
the waterworks which supplies
the city three miles away with
water. The river furnishes the
power to pump the water into
the mains. The hume is about
one and a half miles long, forty
feet wide and thirty feet deep,
dug through a solid bed of
gravel. The principal main
into which the water is pumped
is about four feet in diameter
and crosses the river on a
trestle which serves as a foot
bridge as we'll.
From here we tramped on
across the Spokane Valley, past
the five fire-proof buildings
where the dynamite for the city
is stored, through a prairie-dog
town (but the prairie-dogs
seemed to have gone to church)
and across pastures, until near
the foothills we struck a belt
of very rich soil. Here we saw
fine vegetables, and the best
corn we had yet seen. The
land is worth $25O.0O per acre.
We didn't buy any so struck
into the hills through a gap
and came out on what is known
as Moran Prairie, about seven
or eight miles from home. This
prairie does not show up nearly
so we'll as those previously Wis
tied, being newer, and the soil
not so good. Here we turned
west and climbed to the top Of
a low mountain ridge, and
headed toward the city.
| told you this was an UNI
usual country and it is, for
while here at Hillyard water is
IT'S to 225 feet deep, there on
the very top of that divide we
found a spring, and it had been
piped to supply water for lower
ground; we also found a shallow
marshy lake covering perhaps
