and remain free men. Republi-
can policies and Republican laws
have given them no aid or comfort,
for under the protective system
everything they buy has increased
in a much greater ratio than the
wages they receive.
This, then, is the policy Landed
by Secretary Shaw and the Repub-
lican politicians. To protect and
substitute the powerful and rich,
by taxing the farmer, the trades
man, the artisan and the laborer.
Promises have been made by Re-
publican conventions and politi-
clans TO revise the tariff and SINH
lar promises are being formulated
to again fool the people, but as
long as the protected interests DOM
mate the Republican party there
can be no real tariff reform as the
standpatters will never consent to
cut of the campaign contributions
from the protected trust barons.
Those who feel the pinch of high
trust prices should think of these
matters when they vote next fall
for those who are to represent
tbom.

jEANlE INVESTIGATION.
Contradictory Statements Made in In
vestigation.

SEATTLE. Nov 26.-The testimony
Of Second Mate Gustafson of the
steamer Jeanie directly contradicts
that Of his captain. He stated that
no whistles were blown by either boat
and also that the Dix swung to port
and not to starboard. thus placing the
large part Of the blame for the dis
aster on his own ship. The testimony
came as a surprise. Gustafson was
on the bridge with Captain Mason.
The logbook of the Jeanie was intro
duced in evidence. The inspectors
found several erasures In the time Of
leaving Smiths cove and the time the
accident happened. 1t will be inves-
tigated further. Tomorrow the cap
tains Of the two Sound boats will be
asked to explain why they did not
answer the signals Of distress Of the
Jeanie. The investigation will prob
ably end tomorrow.

A revolution is im- pending in the methods of farming i1 this State The increased returns F. sulting from the judicious use of ma nures, and from intensive culture, seem incredible to those who have seen only the usual haphazard, slip shod way of half-cultivation which prevails in the Southwest Agricul ture IS as much a science as the law as civil engineering, as medicine or as commerce. Knowledge of the chemistry of the soil, the ability to estimate and deermine the adapja- bility of the soil and climate to par tieular products, contributes to sue cess, where the want of knowledge of the elementary principles of scien- life agriculturs would spell failure.

The politician is now abroad ia the land. As a rule each one should be carefully and thoughtfully heard in his behalf. The filling of the offices Is thereby of concern to every citizen who hopes 10 hand down to posterity the institution of government uns9l- lied. The most important considera- tion in the filling of an office is the character of the man who is elected In the very nature of things. all of fcials are held up as some sort of ex- ample 10 the people. The matter of next import is the special ability of the candidate for filing the place. What is meant by this is that the can didate should give some reason why he should be elected instead of other good men. The final. and most incoH- sequental matter is whether the can didate needs the office This latter consideration should not be over looked, but it should be subjective to the other considerations.
