question of reforming the currency will
be befogged. Congress ought not tc

the vacuous Bacon, and the invincible

But the situation is serious-the cur

The sheer of the Tribune at the Dem
ocrats of the senate merits no atten-
ton. They need no defense from US
Our point is that 1t comes with poor
grace from the Chicago Tribune or any
other Republican newspaper or poll
tician to criticise any Democrat at this
time. The Democratic party and the
Democratic press have been more than
tolerant. more than kind in this crisis,
They have not charged the panic, If enc
exists to the Republican party or to
Republican policies. They have re-
Trained absolutely from making a po-
Iitical issue out of present conditions.
How very different was the attitude
of the Chicago Tribune and other Re-
publican newspapers in the panic OF
1898! They deliberately made that pan
ic tenfold worse than It need have
been. All the Republican newspapers
and all the Republican orators shouted
themselves hoarse about the Democrat
ic hard times. The currency question
was not then one that Ought to be
considered carefully and dispassionate-
"" It did not occur to our Republican
friends that 1t was mot a partisan or
a sectional question"
And they were as dishonest in their
discussion of it as ever were men OF
newspapers in the discussion of a pub
lie question. knowing that the panic
was an Inheritance from the Republi-
can administration, knowing that the
election of Grover Cleveland had no
more to do with it than the changing
of an administration Of the Congo Free
State, they deliberately and maliciously
assaulted the president and the Dem
ocratic party and charged it with every
high crime and misdemeanor in their
vocabulary.
1t is sure, too. that If William Jen-
nings Bryan had on March 4 last sue
ceeded Theodore Roosevelt as president
Of the United States, the Republicans
would not have hesitated about laying
the responsibility for the present situa-
ton at the door Of Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic party. The venomous as
sault by the Chicago Tribune upon the
Democrats cannot fail TO react upon
that newspaper. It is so obviously I'M
fair. so obviously ill-timed and UNI
grateful that Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike will denounce it.

DEMOCRATS AND PATRIOTISM.

only an opportunity to make political

ADJUSTMENTS
"A COUNTRY GIRL"

While much has been said of the
beauteous and sumptuous splendor of
"a Country Girl'' which comes to the
Keylor Grand on Feb. Is and 10, but
little has been said Of the rollicking
comedy found in the play. The lines
are crisp and witty, but at the same
time there is distinct absence of even
the slightest suggestive moods or sit
uations. 1t is a return to the old days
when keen wit was first discovered in
lines and situations without resorting
to present day slap stick comedy. 1t
was the rage in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Chicago, the press of
each city claim it to be the best musical
land. The plot is an interesting one
amply interspersed with laughable
comedy and set in frame of work of
sparkling musicthat has the genuine
touch of sentiment. There is a band
of funny men a host of pretty girls who
have been carefully. selected as much
for their voices as their beauty. It is
further promised that the scenic en-
bellishments will be on a magnificent
scale that will eclipse anything seen
here during the past few years. The
scenes Of the play vary from the rustic
surroundings of Devonshire village
to the gorgeous interior of the Min
istry of Fine Arts, London. For two
years it has been played in this country
and only half the cities thus far been
visited. What commends it more than
all else that might be said is that it is
presented by the Augustin Daily Music
al company which is sufficient guar
antee of perfection.

DUPLICATE INVESTIGATION

The resolution looking to a
committee investigation of railroad
values does not look practical The
object of making a valuation of rail-
road properties is to establish facts
that will be given credence by the
courts if the state-made rates are
questioned. 1t is no use making such
a valuation unless it is done so thor
oughly and scientifically that it will
stand attack. No legislative comnnit-
tee could cover the ground in three
months time.
The railroad commission is carrying
on the same line of work, without re-
suit as yet. 1t has made reductions in
rates without using a valuation, and
the new commodity rates are being
fought by the railroad companies. II
is too late to make use of a valuation
table in that proceeding, as the COM
missions order must stand or fall or.
the evidence that was before it at The
time. The commission is having the
valuation made by an expert, for fu-
ture use, and figures on at least two
years for the work. 1t has the same
powers as a legislative committee, a.
far as getting evidence and examining
railroad records is concerned. The
commissions work will not be suspend
ed, and if the legislature covers the
same ground We will have the embar-
rassment of two state standards of rail-
road valuation. 1t is easy to see what
confusion this might lead to. The rail-
roads themselves would not fail to
take advantage of it.
The senate resolution Is undoubtedly
we'll meant, but unless some reasons
exist for it that are not apparent on
the surface, it would be better for the
legislature to leave this subject out of
the investigation dragnet.

AN OLD FRIEND COMING

Shaking hands with an old friend is
almost as good as announcing the re-
turn of "Yon Yonson" to this commun-
ity. Yon comes here to the Keylo1
Grand, Feb. 16, for one night.
"Yon Yonson' is a young fellow OF
whom one never grows tired. He is
modest, always in good humor, and al
time. The public is very fond of this
original, kindhearted young Swede. The
fact that the comedy has been seen on
the American stage for the past fifteen
years is demonstration of the fact. This
puts lyon Yonson' inthe same class
with 1.-The Old Homestead" "Way
Down East rip Van Wrinkle" and
James O'Neilrs Monte Cristo," as far
as longevity is concerned.
1t is, of course, remembered from
previous visits here that lyon Yonson''
tells story of a young Swede who
encounters vicissitudes on his arrival
in this country, but who finally gets
through them all owing to his sterl-
ing honesty and bland-like innocence,
which wins him many friends new
effect has been created this year in the
famous log jam, which occurs at the
end of the third act and is one of the
most thrilling incidents in nature which
has ever been produced on the stage.
lyon Yonson' is, himself, new this
year, too. He is George Thompson, a
distinguished Swedish actor, who first
won his spurs in the Royal opera house
in Stockholm, and later created for
himself a name on Broadway, New
York, which assures him a future on
the stage even should he abandon
Swedish comedy.
1.-The Lumbermens Quartette'' this
year is composed of four men who gave
up choir work to travel with "Yon
Yonson" and thus become acquainted
with the country in a practical way
On the whole, the show is better and
larger than ever before and is worthy
of capacity business.

8 A Chicago daily newspaper prints
this as showing the extent to which
food alulteration has gone:
Another article which has good
market is leather Old shoes may not
be palatable as a matter of diet, but
ground up into minute bits and mixed
pith pepper or other spices they make
a profitable article of commerce. The
alley scourers are able to gather a
large number of shoes in a day. The
best of them. of course, are not used
for food purposes, but are kept for re-
pair and disposal to old-shoe shops. 1t
is only the most dilapidated specimens
of cast off footgear that goes into the
hopper of the get-rich-quick GOODMAN"
Such clearly malicious misstate-
ments are really more far-reaching
than the writers suppose, for they con-
vey the impression to the readers of
the daily press. and they are so many
that their numbers mount into the
many millions, that it is unsafe to eat
any of the prepared foodstuffs which
are on the grocers' shelves.
With the new food law in effect, it
is to be hoped that there will be less
of this sort of sensationalism and that
consumers will realize that food adul-
terations have never reached the point
where they were as bad as they were
painted.

HOW OYSTERS ARE FATTENED.
Diatoms and Other Strange Animals
Are Fed the Bivaves.

The oyster-eating public is already
familiar with the process of fattening
adopted by some INSCRIPTIONS dealers
in oysters. This consists mainly in
throwing the oysters into fresh water,
which they absorb in large quantities,
and become plump. The flavor is there
by injured and there is danger of in
fecting the oysters with typhoid.
At Lynnhaven, Va.,a the United
States bureau of fisheries has been
working for several years on a plan
to establish an artificial fattening bed
for oysters. The oyster lives chiefly
on diatoms and other miscropic ma
rine plants. These plants require for
their growth large supply of morgan
ic salts in the water. The necessary
plant food is supplied by putting COM,
mercial fertilizers into the water.
The fattening bed must be in shall
low water so as to have relatively
high temperature. A wall is main
as to retain the fertilizer and diatoms.
Even after the diatoms have multi
piled enormously, the oysters receive
no benefit from them unless a current
is maintained in the water to carry the
food to the oysters.
Salt water is pumped in to prevent
the fattening beds from becoming too
fresh. and little lime is added to the
water to prevent the growth of afgae
and other plants which would give a
flavor to the oysters. Too
much lime, on the other hand, will de-
stroy the food plants of the oyster.
The process seems somewhat COM
plicated, but it has been demonstrated
to be feasible and to yield fine results
in the number and quality Of oysters.

possibly. a desire on their part to
assail the aforesaid papers from be-
mind masked batteries. Always there
are disgruntled ones who are not cour-
ageous enough to come out openly
with their venomous knocks, but must
hide behind anonymous communica-
lions.
The communication in the Evening
Bunc" yesterday, in which is an I'M
founded, false statement of the position
of The Statesman, is one of lose
cowardly screeds which, ordinarily, are
deserving of no attention. But in the
abusive attack referred to the predlca-
ment of the Brotherhood of Owls is
used as an excuse for mudslinging and
the venting of petty spite with lying
declaration that two papers are COM
bined to destroy the Leavitt organ-
ization No one who has been read :
err of these columns may point to one
sentence derogatory to the Owls. What
has been published has been in the
way of news and would have been used
in connection with any other organic
alton.
1t is usually the case that those least
such matters. 1t is they who are the
real Knockers They go about glee-
fully describing the troubles and diff
ficulties and ghoulishly pirate on the
coming death of the institution as
sailed.
AS a matter of fact no true member
of the Brotherhood of Owls believes
for an instant that the big order can
be put out of business. So far as
Walla Walla nest is concerned it is an
impossibility. With more than thou
sand members, with more than $1,000
in the treasury, with $4,000 more COM
ing in within a month or so, the local
nest is certainly in such shape that
no man, Or set of men, may bring
about it's disarmament. 1t may be
true that one mans attempted use or
despotic power has caused individual
estrangements. But one man does not
make up TIE IuOuSduO. 1ACAC "a =
others. And they are true and faith
full to the order-if not to the man.
In the first place there is no neces-
sity of changing the name Of the or
ganization. The Indiana order declares
itself to be the "Fraternal Order OF
Owls" The Walla Walla order is the
brotherhood of Owls The nomen-
clature differs sufficiently to avoid any
legal infringement There are two or
ders of Woodmen. There may be two
orders of Owls.
AS to the alleged plagiarism of adj
vertising matter, that is a questio~
concerning but two grand officers in
the order 1t will be up to them 10
explain that 1t is not for any anony-
NOUS knocker to decide as to the
charges, or counter charges.
The Brotherhood of Owls will con-
tinue in Walla Walla. 1t is too strong
an order to be permanently injured
by one or two men, or by writer's who
are too eager to create dissensions by
falsely accusing the newspapers of be-
ing responsible for any alleged thefts.
The howl of the wolf is too plainly
heard beneath the sheepskin.

WALKS PART OF THE WAY.
Train and Stage the Rest of the Dis
lance From PendIeton Here.

Train, stage and "shank's mare
were the three means of lOcomotion
by which I. w. Sims covered the dis
lance between Pendleton and Walla
Walla, yesterday.
An inspection train consisting of an
engine and caboose brought Mr.. Sims
and his fellow passengers to within
two miles of Athena. After walking
into that burg, a stage was secured to
bring them in to Walla Walla.
Mr.. Sims brings the sad news of the
death of his father in Oil Springs, On
tario. He was at the bedside of the old
man at the time he succumbed to an
attack of pneumonia at the advanced
age of 81 years. y
