pitcher Corns from Boone Ia, one Of
Manager Rourkes recent acquisitions, was
placed in the box for his first appearance
with the Omaha team. For the four and
a half innings he pitched he allowed the
visitors seven hits, giving evidence of hav-
ing considerable undevelOped pitching ma
terial I'm him, even II he was cratic at
times. He showed poor judgment in the
first inning by throwing a grounder he
felded from Randall to FIRST instead of
touching McHale running home and thus
cutting off score. McHale ran within
few feet OF Corns when the ball was
ielded. Koukalik replaced Corns in the
,ox in the fifth inning and he did not fare
much better than the Boone pitcher.
Vollendorf kept the Champions guessing
most of the time. He was hit four times
and passed but one of the local players.
"Old Sport" McHale made three runs out
OF his four times up. He made two safe
hits, nelder's choice and stolen base.

been promoted. as a reward tor faith
ful service. to be United States sena-
tor from the state of Waehinoron. In
his new field, where he goes by the
grace of the republican legislature, he
will have larger opportunities to serve
the Hon. J. j. Hill. There were men
of the stamp of IaFollette that the
Washington Legislature might have
chosen, such as Mcbride, but that
kind of republican was not wanted.
It is evident more than ever, that
the United States senate is BECOMING
q citadel of the monopolists. and until
that fortress is taken by the people.
there will be little hope of any real

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Louis Wiring, formerly of Pierz, has
written to his brother William, from
Quincy, WASH, under date of Jan.
22d, letter from which the following
extracts are taken:
II have just finished my house on
my homestead. It looks like home
now. / have 20 acres broke on it. and
will break 20 acres more this spring,
SO will have a crop next year. will
also start a good orchard next spring.
l have had verv good luck in select
ing such good land out here. I con-
slider it worth $1,000 which would
make it $40 per acre AS fact 1
would not sell it for that if / could
net buy another piece. like it out
here as the climate is so much better
than Minnesota. We have had snow
for the laet five weeks, but it never
was colder than 8 above zero. Most of
the time 1t was about Is or 20 above
zero. The snow does not drift here the
way it does in Minnesota, just lays as
it falls until it thsws away, conse.
quentlv there is good sleighing as
everything is covered with snow.
The country is perfectly level for 20
miles north and south, and 80 miles
east and west, all nice prairie land,
one section better than the other,
which will. when broke, produce from
ID to 30 bushels Of wheat per acre.
I believe this will make one of the
richest districts In Washington when
1t is all under cultivation and Quincy
will make town of from 1000 to 5000
inhabitants before long. We can grow
anything mere. especially fruit. Isaw
a tree in Quincy which grew feet
last summer. Every homesteader is
putting in an orchard and after a few
years this prairie will not look go
bare as it looks now. The water oues-
tion is the worst for he homesteaders,
as the water is very deep. The wells
are from 145 to 300 feet deep. There
are numerous wells around Quincy
and all have plenty of water which is
free from alkali ana perfectly pure.
We have two we'll drillers here In the
neighborhood and they are busy drill
Ing all the time. There is plenty of
snow In the winter and sufficient
rain in the spring and early sumner.

PROGRESS IN AUSTRALIA.

PROGRESS IN AUSTRALIA.
From the beginning the Australian
governments have owned and oper-
ated their railways. telegraphs and
telephones. In some cases, also, they
have kept in their own hands the
railways and electric lighting. All
the colonies have government saving
banks. In New Zealand there is gov
eminent insurance against both fire
and death. And now the governments
have undertaken to protect the CON-
munity against strikes and lockouts
much as you protect yourselves
against murder and highway rob-
berry. When voluntary Cancellation
failed, as it has failed In Massaohu-
sets and everywhere else, the practi-
cal reformers of New Zealand and
Australia did net fear to enforce CON,
pulsory arbitration.
In Australia, indeed they have
abolished plural voting. and have
freely given the suffrage to all wom-
en-. They have established graduated
income and progressive land taxes.
Their great land difficulty is being
met by such heroic means as the COM
pulsory repurohase of large estate for
closer settlement, and by state loans
on farm mortgages. The referendum
has been used to decide the greatest
question that has yet arisen in Aus
tralian history. Laws have been
passed for minimum wage. the eight
hour day, early closing of shops, day
labor on government contracts, and
the inspection Of factories. shops and
mines. Old age pensions have been
established In three of the colonies,
and the commonwealth parliament IL
bens on federal scheme. -Booklovers

Senator ELECT Burkett of Nebraska
said. in his speech to the legislature Of
that state: II 90 not believe that the
government should do anything that
individuals can do Which shows
what the people of Nebraska have
done. Practically every function Of
the government would be exercised oy
individuals or combinations of indi-
and to charge for doing the work.
There is no more pernic'o us doctrine
because there is no limit to it. OF
course Burkett is opposed to interfer-
ing with railroad rates. Roosevelt
must be proud of such an ally.

TIE STRUGGLE AHEAD OF THE
REPUBLICANS.

TIE STRUGGLE AHEAD OF THE
REPUBLICANS.
VIM. j. Bryan has the following in
The Commoner:
The republican party is entering
upon the struggle through which the
democratic party has passed success
fully. There is q reform element in
the republican party, as we'll as a
plutocratic element, and this reform
element is now ma1shalljng behind
the president. Let no one imagine
that the contest (s going to lack tx
element. Just in proportion az the
president attempts to protect the,
rights of the people will he be called a
demagogue, disturber of the peace,
and, possibly, an anarchist. Those
who support him will be accused of
taking up with populistic doctrines,
democratic doctrines, and socialist
doctrines. Let them not be dismayed.
This is the path which all reformers
must travel these are the obstacles
which all must meet. The democrats
ought to support the president in
every attempted refe rm. They ought
to do it because it is right to do so,
and they ought also to do it because
party expediency requires it. The re-
publicans may resent this support,
and use 1t as an argument to keep
republicans away from him, but they
may as we'll recognize that the trend
is now back to the people. The cor
porations can delay the movement.
They can for time defeat those who
join the movement, but the movement
will succeed. There is more virtue in
the people than ever finds expression
through represe natives, and the time
is ripe for the summoning of this vir.
tue to the country's rescue. The
primary law takes the party out Of the
hands of bosses and corporate repre-
sentatives. and puts it In the hands
of the voters Of the party, and these
voters, whether thew are republican
or democrats, or members of some
other party, want good government.
The people trust themselves, and when
they understand the situation thew
trust those who trust them. Governor
Pingree once declared that the re-
former must come from long. lived
race, because of the patience de-
NJ anded Ct him and the length of the
struggle through which he must pass
but happily reforms do not depend upon
any one person. As in the army, 80 in
political warfare, the death of lead
or is simply summons to the one
next in line to take his place. The
conflict goes on and the great fighting
force Is not made up of leaders, but of
the rank and file. The reformer is
abb Dad in the land. and Back to the
people, is his inspiration. The re-
former must necessarily appeal to the
people for he acts in their interest,
and can secure help from no other
source. At last the people rule.
Let democrats take courage; they
have passed through the Valley of
the Shadow Of Death. Let republi.
cans as they enter the Valley remem-
Der that they. too, may ultimately
emerge from 1t, if they will but
make their party the champion of
human rights aid popular govern
ment, rather than the tool of corpcr.
ate greed and predatory wealth.

meet with driving out with him. It
wae rumored in Pierz that Peter
Wolsfeld regrets his departure from
Pierz, and would probably be back
again. But the people said prob
ably and this was the best they
could say, as Mr.. Wolsfeld tells me
that he is not willing to 60 back, az
he sees fortune in this settlement,
which he never could catch a hold of
while in Pierz He says that he has
Just as much luck in slxty six or in
solo game as he had in Pierz. sup
pose the Pierz people would like to
see him come back. as Mr.. Wolsfeld
is an honorable citizen, but these
are the people we welcome here just
as well ae they do in Pierx.
The weather here lie just trying to
please the settlers as one day is try
