Joint WHEAT RATE
IN EFFECT AUG. 20

Olympia, July 30.-It is announced
at the Office of the railroad commits
sion that the joint wheat rate order
will be issued August /, becoming eff
fective twenty days thereafter.
It had been planned to issue the or
der about July 20, but its actual pro-
mitigation has been delayed ten days.
It is now believed at the Office of the
commission that the order will be
promptly acquiesced in by the rail-
roads, and it is even regarded as prob
able that new joint wheat rate tariffs
will be issued by the railroads before
the expiration OF the twenty days
granted under the commission law for
orders of the commission to 60 into
effect.
At the Office of the commission there
seems to be no information as to Why
the railroads have changed their atti-
tude toward the joint wheat rate order.
Until recently both sides were pre-
pairing for contest in the courts.
But, whatever the reason, the word
has gone out that the order will be
accepted and Immediately acquiesoed
in By the roads, and that tariffs will
be issued accordingly, in time for the
movement of this years crop.

TRANsVAAL CONSTITUTION
Government Proposes Equal Rights for
Boer and Britain.

Government Proposes Equal Rights for
Boer and Britain.
London, Aug. lin q speech of
great moderation, carefully designed
to propitiate his opponents Winston
Spencer Churchill, parliamentary Sec
rotary Of the colonial Office in the
house of commons yesterday after
noon, explained the government q
plans to confer Constitution on the
Transvaal. Dwelling on the urgency
of the question, he described the
Transvaal as the nerve center of South
Africa and said the new country re-
produced in miniature all the dark
and tangled problems of the old estab-
lished European states.
The governments guiding principle,
he said, had been to treat the Boer
and Britain alike and to make no dis
tinction in granting the boon Of Brit
fish citizenship both to the men who
fought Loyalty for Great Britain and
to those who resisted the British arm
with desperate courage.
The population Of the Rand, Mr..
Churchill continued, equalled that of
the whole rest of the country, and on
the basis of the census it had been de-
cided to allot thirty two members to
the Rand, one to Krugersdorp, six to
Pretoria and thirty to the rest of the
country.
The ransvaal assembly would consist
~ o;xtv-nino aalario(l mem borG elected
for five years Either the English or
the Dutch language could be used in
the transaction Of public business.
The speaker added that there would
be an express stipulation against sane
tioning labor Of servile character.
The government proposal must be &C
cepted or rejected as q whole.

TINE IS not RIPE
RUSSIAN PRoIETARIlT REFUSES
GOVERNMENT CHALLENGE.
Peasants Now Busy In Harvest
Fields and there = Also Con
sdeEable Educational Work TO
b Done Before Revolution
Could Hope to Succeed.

st. Petersburg, July 80. 1t is evi.
dent that the refusal Of the proleta-
riat organizations to accept the chal-
lenge It this time upon the grounds of
the governmental choosing does not
mean that It ID not their intention to
give battle later. Indeed. the prole-
tariat Organizations, backed BY all DO
litical parties, including the group of
toll, social revolutionists, socialists
and the Peasant League, have thrown
themselves into the campaign Of agita-
ton for q simnltapeous general strike,
to be followed By rising in tho cities
and country.
The time is not convenient for the
peasantry. as the country is in the
midst OF the harvest season, but the
leaders believe month or six weeks,
at most, will suffice for this, and con-
fidently expect that their campaign
will be aided by the policy of uni
versal repression, which the govern
ment will be compelled to adopt in its
open warfare against the revolution.
The Constitutional Democrats are
holding aloof, fearing to cast in their
lot with their former allies, yet they
are roady, if the masses rise and the
government fails, to seize the results
Of the victory.
Premier Stolypin evidently is Elm
cere and honest in his desire to inaug-
urate a policy of ''strong handed re-
FORM" but the best evidence that he
is not master Of the situation is the
failure of his appeal for the co-opera-
tion Of men like Count Heyden, M.
Shipof and Prince Lvoff, who, on
their part, have seen too many we'll
intentioned ministers broken on the
wheel when they decline to conform
to the policy dictated BY the court
cabal.
The lighting organization of the
social revolutionists, which declared a
truce while parliament was in session,
has decided to reopen it's campaign OF
active terrorism. Its work will be
supplemented by q similar lighting
organization" recently formed among
th@social democrats.
Over q million copies of manifesto
to the army, navy, peasants and work
men, adopted Saturday and already
printed at Viborg and St. Petersburg,
have been started into the interior
through underground revolutionary
channels.
It is learned that almost the deter
mining factor for the postponement of
a rising was the information that many
of the fresh troops, who had been in
troduced into st. Petersburg and Mos
COW, we're strangers to the revelation

selected for this reason.

We are not gossips, but when Tom
my and Nellie have spent an afternoon
with us, we devote part of the evening
to a discussion of their childish faults.
We criticise their table manners, and
wish their mother would teach them
not to interrupt. We think, OF course.
that they will never hear OF our re
marks; but nevertheless we have bro
ken the laws of hospitality, and our re-
lation to the children is changed; we
are less their friends, though they
know it not. 32
Since ! love my neighbor so we'll, It
inevitably follows that feel an anx-
lous desire to understand all things,
which pertain to his welfare-whether
his meat is well cooked, how many sill
yer spoons he has. and whether he
sends his cuffs to the laundry or has
them washed at home For this pur-
pose, what more natural than that |
should encourage the prattling tongues
of his children? But when l have add
ed to the already over-burdened world
a new supply of g0ssips and scandal
monogers not to mention a few choice
specimens Of the woman who tells all
she knows, am fortunate to escape
the mobbing which l deserve. We all
know that a well-bred child does not
talk Of family affairs to every one but
how is frank, open hearted boy or
girl to-avOid answering questions?
Even without questions, it is easy to
lead them on. The fiattery of ABSORB
ed attention and the smiling confiden-
tial air Of an older person affects
them quickly, and they early learn the
delight of telling an interesting story.
If Mrs. Smith is so much interested in
the account of Mrs. Browns dressmak-
ing, why not tell her about it? And if
an added ''she says or Il guess"
brings smile OF appreciation, the
temptation Is too great to be resisted.
The habit grows insensibly, and the
child who, with the best intentions, en-
tertained Mrs. Smith with the story
of her neighbours affairs grows into a
busy body, while the girl who told how
many pies mamma made to-day and
what I'VE had for dinner" becomes The
woman who entertains her hostess
with an accurate account Of her do
ings for the last twenty-four hours-a
senseless mass of details with no DOS
sible interest for any one except In
the fact that they concern herself
