CHANGES MADE IN
iTRI-STATE SCHEDULE

There is peace again in the West
ern Tri-state league. At meeting of
the directors and officers held yester-
day in Walla Walla, several changes
in the schedule were made and a
number of other things adjusted
which brought satisfaction to those
clubs who were disgruntled.
Pendleton's schedule of games was
changed in only one particular and
the adjustment is beneficial. BY it
a series here is switched to Baker and
one of Bakers is switched here so
that neither city viii have three
straight weeks of ball or be three
straight weeks without it.
One of the other rulings made yes
terday, according to Director r. w.
Ritner was that for the pooling of
all the hotel expenses so that the
smaller clubs. which have their teams
away from home more, will not be
forced to pay out more money than
the larger ones. When the players
are at home they pay their own ex-
penses and when on the road the club
puts up for them so that the larger
expense, were really getting off light
er. BY the new arrangement all will
share alike
At the meeting yesterday Mr.. Rit-
ner called the attention of the direc-
tors to the ruling of the national com
mission which gives Glass D clubs 20
days after the opening of the league
season to cut down to the regulation
number of players. The bylaws of
the Western Tri-state league allow
only fifteen days but the directors de-
cided that they would abide by the
national rulings wherever there was
conflict.

CACHE OF DYNAMITE BOMBS FOUND

should have accidentally set it off.
There is much speculation here as
to who could have manufactured these
bombs and for what purpose
The discovery of the bombs near
Echo has not been reported to the
sheriff's office. A theory has been
advanced here that the stuff had
been cached away by workmen who
had been using it in blasting but ac
cording to opinions expressed by To-
cal engineers dynamite in the form
described is not used in blasting. C.
H. Martin, the county road builder
who has had much experience in
dealing with explosives stated that he
had never heard of an explosive for
blasting in the form and shape of
those found He thinks 1t very pos
sible that they may have been pre-
pared for other purposes. Some peo-
lie here profess to believe that the
bombs might have been intended for
the destruction of the irrigating ditch
es in the west end or to blow UP rail-
way property.

been wrapped up in an old grain sack

From all appearances the stuff had
evidently been left these some time

stuff which was done by attaching a
cap and fuse. The explosion that fol-

THE .JEFFERSONIAN

Wnen ne saw tnaJ MIR. Coleman was In
error, the Doctor should have enlightened
the good brother. It is not to be presumed
that Mr. Coleman wanted to publish what
was untrue.
Did not Doctor Lovett know better? Did
he not know that small group of white
adventures banded together, and forcibly
seized those Islands?
Did not the Doctor remember how "Presi-
dent Dole" dethroned the native Queen,
Liliuokalani?
Can it be that Doctor Lovett has forgotten
how "President Dole called for =. S.
marines to help him in the revolution; and
how the native Queen appealed to President
Cleveland; and how ex-Congressman James
II. Blount, of Georgia, was sent out to the
Islands, as paramount Commissioner, to
investigate the affair?
Commissioner BlOunt was an honest. coura-
geous man; and his official report. made after
the fullest investigation, was in favor of
restoring the Islands to the natives.
But the moneyed influences were too strong
for the voice Of Right to be heard. In the
end, our Government agreed, during the
Spanish War, to annex the Islands, at the
most urgent and nslstent request of the white
men who had forcbly seized control, and
who needed the protection of oar N0vy
One of the acts Of these white revolution
lists was, to sentence to be shot, some of the
natives who had made feeble attempt to
restore their Queen to her hereditary throne
The Queen herself was not only scared
into signing a surrender of her legal rights,
but was tried and sentenced, because she had
not been sufficiently meek and quiescent
while being robbed
Out of their great mercy, the white robbers
refrained from shooting the natives, and the
Queen herself was released on parole"
| do not mean to say that the Islands are
not worth untold millions" Perhaps they
are. But the indisputable fact is that they
were conquered, by few white men, to whom
the natives had been most generous, and
whose treatment of the natives was utterly
brutal and wrong.
Those natives were like sheep, in the pres
ence Of wolves. When the o. S. marines
landed, from a battle ship whose guns could
have raked the defenceless native cities, they
had no choice but to submit.
The question is
Do our Christian people want their mis-
slons to pay, IN that aoay?
If so, there's nothing more to be said.

The Sandwich Islands. DO Mis-.
SlOnS Pay? They Do!

AoVelC most excellent paper, The Chris
tan Advocate, when my faculties were
attracted by the headline
EMISSIONS PAY"
more interesting piece. has seldom
appeared in dear Doctor Lovett's most excel
lent paper. The writer of the piece, is e. w.
Coleman, of Canton. Ga.
Evidently, Brother Coleman is man of
robust faith. What he believes. he believes.
You may differ from Brother c.. but YOU
can't withhold your admiration for his grip
on things unseenn
Brother Coleman brought up the CONVEX
satlon about Foreign Admissions. He feels
deeply on that subject Moreover, he is forti-
fed with facts If he got these facts out of
missionary sermon, that's neither here nor
there.
Brother Coleman gives an example of how
missions pay. That is right. Whenever YOU
assert that mission investments pay. produce
your evidence, if you can.
Brother Colemans example of how mis-
slons pay, is the Sandwich Islands, now
called the Hawaiian Islands. and now popu-
lated mainly by japanese, Chinese, Ameri-
cans, Europeans, and the white descendants
of the missionaries
Comparatively few of the Sandwiches are
left. They nearly all died Let us hope that
they are now in glory
Brother Coleman says that we spent few
thousand dollars converting the people Of
the Sandwich Islands, and that those 'peo-
pie, who felt like they should reward us some
way, voluntarily rendered those islands to
the y. S. Government. Our Government
accepted them, and they are now worth
untold millions of dollars to this country"
Think of that We invested few thous-
ands, and got untold millions We converted
the natives, and the natives gratefully made
us a gift Of their country!
Where did Brother Coleman find that mar
vellous yarn?
What is the source of his information?
[ believe that he is honest in making his
statement; but who was it that so grossly
imposed upon him?
The story of what the missionaries and
the European money-hunters did to the SIM
pie natives of the Sandwich Islands is one
of the most tragic chapters in the White
Mans march to world-conquest. That story
reeks with crime and greed and fraud and
racial determination.
IF Brother Coleman will order from
Doubleday, Page & Co., the book issued by
them in 1902, and called "The Real Hawaii"
he will read the narrative of Lucien Young,
of the u. S. Navy, who was present in the
Islands when the whites forcibly overthrow
the native government, seized the country,
ran up the q. S. flag, and then claimed its
protection, TO cOVeT their 4eV0Euti0n
Lieutenant Lucien Young was on duty, on
the U. S. battleship, Boston, during the prog
ress of the revolution; and it was from his
vessel that the U. S. marines were landed
by the revolutionists to con the 4oati0es.

humans who had nothing else to do than to
follow him to Washington City.
All we'll regulated generals employ lieu
tenants; and Coxey did not have time to
make any exception to the rule; and there
fore he either elected, or appointed Captain
Carl Browne to be his lieutenant, and the
Captain agreed to serve.
Grover Cleveland was President, and he
had been allowing Pierpont Morgan and
other Wall Street thieves to run the Govern
ment with such high hand that they were
really afraid the Coxey "Army of the Unem-
ployed" might collect all the elements of
righteous discontent and that the people
might rise, move on the Capital, and fling
the whole rotten Cleveland Morgan Rookie
Teller outfit into the Potomac.
With his midnight bond isues, his repeal
Of the silver coinage act, his surrender of
our Treasury to the Endless-chain bankers,
his encouragement to the Wall Streeters who
manufactured the Panic of 1898, Cleveland
was a bitterly hated man-even by the
Democrats who were fooled into electing
him.
Consequently, when Coxey's movement
began, Cleveland and his Wall Street gang
were scared. They dreaded retri6uti0n.
In their guilty consciences, they felt that
lneV observed punishment, ana Iuey 1edT3Q

So alarmed were Cleveland and his pirate
crew, that they made careful military prepa-

In Berlin, ten thousand Socialists can
parade the streets, fly their banners, blow
their brass tunnels, ease off their lungs, give
the Kaiser pieces of their mind, and behave
generally like people, who have a right to
breathe, march, stand about and express opin-
ions.
In Paris the same thing can be done; and
In London, it is continually being done.
Nearly every modern reform in England
owes its success to Open-air meetings, street
parades, public speaking, and popular petit
ton to Parliament.
But in this country, where the people are
supposed to rule themselves, there are more
restrictions placed upon public meetings than
anywhere else in the civilized world
So, as General Coxey drew near to Wash
ington, the guilty President, and his guilty
confederates, prepared to crush the move
ment by military force.
However, not even a semblance of excuse
was given for shooting anybody.
Coxey simply wanted to make speech
from the steps of the Capitol building. qohich
q0os as much his house as 1t q00s aaey-

He wanted to voice the grievances of an
outraged people, 60seIy betrayed By the PreSi-
dent and his Cabinet.
But the police thought they saw that the
feet of some human beings were on the
grass; and it being against the law is our
cities to jniare the grass, the Coxeyites who
were on the grass were collared, cuffed,
hustled cussed, and hauled off to jail
