Pastor Makes Statement.

Cleveland Ohio, December S.-Rev.
C. A. Eaton, pastor Of the Euclid
avenue Baptist church of Cleveland says
Mrs Cassie Chadwick introduced herself
to him last spring and asked for an au-
dience on business affairs, and, as finally
developed, a scheme In which she could
secure money. In regard to this AFFAIR,
the following communication from DR..
Eaton, dated at Louisville, KY, was re-
ceived today:
Briefly stated, all I know about the
Chadwick case is this:
Some time last winter or spring Mrs.
Chadwick appeared unbidden and un.
known at my office, and as hundreds OF
strangers do, asked for my advice.
MY advices to her was to place ner
affairs unreservedly in the hands OF law
years or business men OF integrity ior
settlement. and I sent her to several
FIRMS in which I had and have now the
utmost confidence, telling them frankly
what little ! knew about tne woman
and that I advised her to place ner en-
tire affairs with them TOT settlement.
I" since then I have known nothing of
her movements, except by hearsay, nor
do T remember having seen or heard OF
her before that occasion.
Mrs Chadwick never attended a
church service in Euclid avenue Baptist
church within my knowledge, and has
never given dollar to our work. direct
ly or Indirectly. She is not now, and
never has been connected in any way
with my church, or with its pastor other
than as stated above.
CHARLES A. EATON"
This alleged meeting of Mrs Chadwick
and DR. Eaton has led to the publication
of a statement that Banker Newton's
hope to secure a settlement for his claim
was due to the fact that DR.. Eaton was
John d. Rockefeller's pastor.

ABUSING GOVERNOR M'BRIDE.

Because Governor Mcbride has re-
fused to stultify himself by support
ing the ticket dictated to the repubfi-
can state convention by ]. d. Farrell
and b. :. GrOSscup. the railroad or
gans have turned their mud batteries
upon him. The one thousand or more
republican supporters of Governor Nc
Bride and a railway commission in this
county will appreciate tie following
most pronounced lobby newspapers in
the state:
ed more than once that he is the po-
litical scrub which his opponents in
the republican party have claimed he
was He has announced his intention
to spend the next few weeks in ST
Louis and will take no part in the cam
paign. After this campaign
Mr. Mcbride will never more be heard
of, and it is to be hoped that no more
of his kind will accidentally attain the
prominence he has had. An honest
populist sailing under his own colors
is better in office than dishonest self
seeking demagogue claiming to be a
republican, but in reality belonging to
no party"
OF course every Boxer in Walla
Walla county will pull off his coat to
work for the election of the lobby
ticket after reading this maSterful ar
gument from Colonel RObinsons paper.

MIKE TONER FOR ASSESSOR.

Mike Toner'S republican opponent Is
reported to be stating to voters that
Mr.. Toner does not want the office OF
assessor. that it was forced upon him.
that he has gone east to avoid the an
noyance of a canvass and that it is
doubtful if he would qualify for the
office if elected.
While it is true that Mr.. Toner did
not seek the office. he cheerfully ac-
cepted the democratic nomination as
civic duty. He is now detained in the
east by the dangerous illness of his
mother. otherwise he would have
been back some time ago. Mr.. Toner
regrets exceedingly his inability to
make Il canvass of the county and he
requests his friends to see that his
Interests are not neglected. If elected
he will serve the people with fidelity
and Will endeaVor to treat all taXpay-
erS with fairness and justice.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

Editor Statesman.
An interested resident of your fair
city of Walla Walla raises a question.
The quality of schools and the char
acter of the churches are unquestion-
ably good. The children of all classes
can receive a good education. Spirit
ual education can be received by at
tending Sunday school and churches.
But what provision has been made for
the working class especially for the
homeless men? Where can we'll dis
posed labOring man spend idle hours
Or evenings? Does the public library
furnish a reading room for the poorly
dressed artisan or day laborer? DO
the churches offer harbor from temp
tation to the tired and shabbily attired
bread winner? Cannot a city of such
beauty and wealth as this open free
reading room, where the poorest may
sit and read or rest? A rest room
where the honest man can meet his
fellow socially? Cannot some of your
many readers solve my query and sug
gesct a plan which will furnish a free
reading and rest room to Walla Walla?
