INSURGENCY IN THE HOUSE.

There are indications from Wash
ington of combination of insurgent
republicans with the democrats in the
house to defeat the Philippine tariff
bill and the joint statehood bill. The
republicans are the beet sugar people
who want to defeat the admission of
Philippine sugar On this question
they are high tariff republicans. On
the joint statehood question they are
liberals holding that it is unfair to
Arizona, which is destined to be peo-
pied with whites, to link her fortunes
forever with New Mexico. The demo-
Gratis are to be urged to load the tariff
bill with free trade amendments and
make it impossible in the senate while
the republicans will join them In
downing joint statehood. The demo-
Gratis would gain the credit Of having
gone farther toward justice to the Fill
ipinos than the republicans and also
of postponing the statehood question
until the future when Arizona may be
brought in with two democratic sena-
tors
The immediate gain, however, would
be with the insurgent republicans who
would nave beaten the Philippine tar
iff Whether the democrats can afford
to postpone the just expectations of
the Filipinos for a shadowy political
advantage in the distant future is for
them to say. The same moral problem
is before the republican insurgents
with the chances in favor of both fac
tons sinking moral considerations to
political eXigencies.
The situation suggests strongly the
unwisdom of bringing forward the
joint statehood BILL which has not the
backing of the country and allowing
it to imperil the Philippine tariff
measure which has no visible oppo-
sition in the country, but apparently
considerable of the invisible kind which
gathers around any tariff measure in
congress.

SEATTLE MAN DECLARES THAT
THEY ARE KEEPING UP FEED
PRICES.
Asserts They Are Responsible for High
Quotations On Butter and Eggs
Throughout State.

One of the important addresses de-
livered at the Washington State Hor-
ticultural association now in session
at North Yakima was that made by
w. H. Paulhamus of Seattle. In the
course of his remarks ne said that
the reason for the high price of but
ter and eggs is the combine of the mil
lers of the state of Washington for
holding up prices. He said that by
this combine the price of feed is 100
per cent higher than it ought to be-
He said that he was interested in a
movement to take the matter up and
make it warm for the millers all over
the state He did not say what he
would do, but intimated that feed pro-
ducts would be brought from the CEN
trail west to beat the combine. He
said that butter could now be shipped
from Iowa to the Sound and be sold
cheaper than it can be made i'm
Washington. The sentiment among his.
hearers on this subject was almost
unanimous and it is probable the
Yakima Fruit Growers will lend him
their support.

America is the young mans county,

Blind Men and Smoking,

"Why is it that blind man never
smokes" asked Smith the other day.
Because he would not know whether
he was pulling on lighted cigar or an
unlighted one," replied Jones. IF
man shuts his eyes he can't tell wheth-
er he is smoking or not, unless he in
hales his smoke. The inhaler is gener-
ally able to feel it passing through the
double f1ues of his chimney nose. But

blindfOlding smoker who doesn't in

lighted cigar in his mouth alternately.
He was never able to say when he was
smoking. He was absolutely uncon-
scious of the cloud of blue vapor that
was blown from his mouth when he
had the lighted Havana between his
teeth. A man has to see it in order to
enjoy a smoke"

TREE PLANTING.
Some Valuable Pointers That Art
Well Worth Remembering.

Some Valuable Pointers That Are
Well Worth Remembering.
First cut off smoothly the broken
root ends which are over half an inch
in diameter; next trim the top if II
cannot be easily reached from the
ground after planting. With an oak
or other hardwood tree cut back Sc.
verely, reducing the number Of buds
60 per cent to so per cent. If the
leader is cut off, tree later forms two
leaders, which are apt to split the
trunk and ruin the tree.
After the hole has been prepared it
should be partially refilled, so that the
trees are at their natural level. Spread
the roots out straight. Work fine, mel
low soil under the center of the tree.
In the case Of fine roots it may be nee
essary to do this with the fingers.
With coarse, fibrous roots the earth
can be packed in with a pointed stick.
Next see that the tree stands YER
tically. The simplest way is to stand
off, then hold up the shovel so that 1t
forms a plumb bob and take a sight.
Then stand around and look at the tree
from a direction at right angles to The
first line of sight, seeing that the trunk
stands erect on both lines. Packing the
earth firmly around the center will
hold it in position in most instances.
Watering fall planted trees is rarely
necessary, as the ground will generally
have sufficient moisture-Garden Mag

An Odd Prescription.

DR.. William Osler in one of his Bal

cure for the gout-a cure from a sew
enteenth century work that was de-
signed to show gout's hopelessness.
First, pick" said this odd cure, "a
handkerchief from the pocket of q
spinster Of thirty-fve who never wish

chief in an honest miller's pond; third,
dry it on the hedge of person who
was never covetous; fourth, send it to

Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace says that
Herbert Spencer chose to live in a
London boarding house among COM
monplace people to avoid the mental
stimulus of too much brilliant CONVEX
sation. He found that an evening at
home with retired Indian officers con-
duced to sleep, while among cultivated
company he became nervously ex-
cited and passed horrible nights with
insomnia He could have achieved the
same results by attending house of
commons debates or preparing himself
every night for a banquet where
speeches in the approved English style
were made, but it occurred to him very
sensibly that it would be wise to be
near his bed when the conversation
had reduced him to a state of invinci-
BILE drowsiness.

DRIED PEAT FUEL.
Thirty-Five Million Tons on Land in
Iowa.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Jan. 12-Be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 tons of dried
peat fuel await commercial develop
ment and marketing in nine northern
counties of this state. This is the
estimate of the state geological sur
vey in a bulletin just issued. The
figures are made on a basis of 600 to
1000 tons of peat to the acre in the
marshes which have been surveyed by
the state authorities. The quantities
in tons are shown in the following
counties:
Worth, 100000; Winnebago, $780,
900; Hancock, 3,O0O,000; Cerro Gordo,
1O,OOO,OOO; Wright, 100000; Frank
lin, 100000; Emmett, 1000, Ooe; Clay,
100000; Palo Alto, 100000
In addition to the deposits in the
counties named, peat is also found in
some others, though not in great
quantities. While there is quite
wide range in the character of the
peat found in these marshes, most OF
it is somewhat fibrous, brown in color
and consists of pure vegetable debris,
with scarcely a trace of mud 1t also
shows very little evidence of oxida-
ton, due to the drying of the boys and
the resulting exposure to the air.
-
the Iowa Fuel & Brick company, says
that raw peat can be "bricked" and |
prepared for the market at $3.50 per |
ton, and states that there is a good |
demand for it at SO per ton. He says !
that people who once use this fuel |
always return to the plant for more.

MISSOURI VS.. THE STANDARD.

The attack of Attorney General Had
lev of Missouri upon the Standard Oil
company serves to recall a similar
fight on the trust made by the attor-
ney general of Ohio, Frank Monnett,
in 1897 That suit was the most de-
termined and sensational legal assault
ever made on Rockefeller.
How Monnett came to jump on the
Standard is a curious story, set forth
graphically in Miss Tarbell's history
of the trust. The Standard Oil COM
pany of Ohio had been in the trust
agreement with other companies, but
on the order of the supreme court of
Ohio, had agreed to dissolve. The
trustees were continued as trustees in
LIQUIDATION AS time went on it APP
peared that they did very little liqui-
dating. One George Rice, who held a
share in the trust, became interested
in the matter of liquidation, and in
the course of his Investigations, came
to the conclusion that the courts order
was not being carried out in good faith
After considerable correspondence, he
succeeded in getting mis- one share
Cancelled and received in exchange
fractional shares in several constituent
companies He concluded that the
trustees We're gathering; IN th5s frac-
tionc Is, end when they were large
enough to represent a full share in the
new company 10 be formed. We're TAX
ing them over themselves at a hand
some profit. So he went TO the attor-
ney general. Mr.. Monnett was young
and held to the belief that the bust
ness of the attorney general is to en-
force the laws" says Miss Tarbell. He
went to the supreme court and secured
an order for the liquiGating trustees to
show cause why they were not liqui-
dating. Mr. Monnett went through
the same experience with John D.
Rockefeller that Mr.. Hadley is now en-
joying with Rogers-carefully framed
evasive answers, recourse to refusal
to answer on advice of counsel and all
the convenient lodges made familiar
in suits before referees VINO have no
power to compel categorical replies. In
the course of the examination Mr.
Monnett called for the books of the
trust which would show the earnings
of the constituent companies since the
alleged dissolution. His object was to
disclose whether the trustees were
paying dividends on stock which was
declared to have no legal existence
This demand the Rockefellers resisted.
In the midst of these proceedings Mr..
Monnett was informed by an anony-
nous letter that the Standard Oil
company had burned a lot of books
taken from its office in Cleveland. The
fact of the burning of sixteen boxes of
books was established by witnesses,
but the company replied that these
were not the books wanted Again
ordered to produce the books which
were wanted, the officers again re-
fused on the ground that sucn records
might incriminate them. The trust
was in a very tight place Production
of those books would have incriminat-
ed the trustees, who were in effect
carrying on the very combination
which the supreme court of Ohio had
ordered them to dissolve and which
they pretended they had dissolved.
Mr. Monnett still continued to press
his antitrust suits when. very con-
veniently for the Rockefellers, his term
