Editer Qazzet—Hev'n bin a reader andBobekriber of your paper ever aence i set-tied in Old whitman, agoin' on 25 yearnow, aud never hevin' okkashun tokriti-Hlse anything thet was ever writ or pict-ured In it*kollums, you ken emagine midisgust when i seen the editer of the op-pczishen sheet indulgen' in his mudthrowing proklivities and a karttoonin'us farmers ez he has through the megiumof the young man in the ahstrack offis.

It's no wonder the subjeck of the kart-ton is represented as hevin' an agonisedexpression on itß kountenance, from thedeformed legs, arms, feet en' nans ap-pended thartwo it ez Enuff to change thefasial ekspression of a ded anatomikalaubjeck in a museeum. An' they sa theresen the drawer don't show Mr. Dur-ham's face is bekase he kant face Mr.Durham an' ea he never wuz favored atOlympy.

It wußent so bad when the kommunnergiv it to us in homeopathek dozes/causeit was a reeleaf from a readin' so mutchkoppyed from Hryan's Kommunner, butwhen las' weak they run 15 ki.rttoons 'enree-Hashed a lot of stuff left over fromthe week previus, godfrey! i wuz madan' told Sara i wuz goin' to Kolfax an'investigate matters in the politikal heldan' among other things have an okkultdemonstrashun of what a "wide opentown" wuz ez i beard the boys atthreshen' a talkin about, and lam konBurn'n "Brooks wide open polisea," an'on return kommit my obsurvashuns topaper, nnd ai ses, "Si, you do thet."

UpOn arrivel et th' sity I obsarved agrate menny well drest young fellers aloangin' about the Streets, 'n old Si bada time a inakiu' his way down thekrowded thurofare. A kouple of gawdilydreet wimmen with painted faseß promenaded right into me, an' durn mi but-tons ef i dident hey to go out into thegravel to mak way. a Knowin' thetthar wuz a play at the opry I natchullytok them fer play aktreeses, but i en-kountered so menny on the Bt. thet it re-minded me of arly times in the pallouse,when the neZ percya wuz a goin' thro'durin' war time—only thar want somany klootchmen to the square ench.

Bee i to a youth a stan'in hi, "who bethem fellers with paiste Dimunds and bigwatch fobbs and all them wimmen withpainted fasee?" an' he replyd: "Unkel,thets the populashun attrackted to Kol-fax to hey a ban' in the karnival ofkrime thet's a runnin' rampant durenHroooks rageem."

At las' i got klear of 'em an run riteinter mi old time nabur, I. b. haUßis.Now, Iknowd I.

Heven' heard tell as how he was disa-pinted in not bein' axed to okkupie arummey perch on the KommishnersKoort.l bekame remiuissent and thoughtof the choice of the Republikan Konven-tion in fixen on B.

Well, as nite wuz a fallen' i konkludedto mak the rounds afore bedtime en, byGosh ? thar were more wheels of fortoona runnen' than thar iz wheels in BillygoodYears' hed. Then thet remark,"Brooks wide open polisea" kum to mewith addishunal forse.

A goin' down to the fair grounds toeleep in the stock sheds—owen to thekrowded kondeshun of things I wuzforced to—l met Mr. Green of the sber-ruff's offis a talkin' with a young, stoopaholdered man in front of a*wet grocery,en heard the wurds, "a linen 'em up" 'en"fixen thet preesink" uttered awdablyDown thar in the hay mow, lulled tosleep by the kattel a chewen of therekuds, wuz ise kreain kompared to listen'to I. B. a chewin' the rag up town.I tuk in the fare neks da and met allthe old naburs. I enjoyed the bossrases and other amoosments, but, whenthet woman with skarcely ennything buta burthda suit on, wuz a wigglen' thro'thet hoop, 1 growed remenessent aginan thot how mutch like her wuz Billey ajugghn" with the trooth all Kampain inhis Kommuner. •

A leven the gran' stan' I kum akrossnabur huing a maken a inflamatorv 4thof july speach near the stock sheds'to alot of beardless yuths 'en some old worn-men en a jap waiter. Sez i, "nabur, aintv outen your elament?" an he ses-"Yes, Si, I am, but as I. B.

I emagine he hed referense to thetbank roll thet Kanfield promised him forexepenees on his tower, but ef he evergets it it'll be through the Gayzet kollec-\u25a0hun agensee.

A' wenden' mi way towards the niggermenetrehn overherd someone say "trade"en heven yankee blood a koursen throwmy veins, 1 wuz interested in a minnitand follered two promenent demokrats(I arterwards ascertained behind thefense, en the burden of there remarkswuz as how they wood trade everythingon for Bherruff en' prosekuten Atturney

P. HeDdric-aon of Farmington, and thought ez howthe Republikan konventehun had gieven'voice an' nominated a man who wuzkompetent and esteamed fer his sterlin'worth. Then it okkurred to me thetHinehkliffs "best audeter the kountyever hed" wuz bared outen the diskushen

en wondered how Baby liked hiH tittlestolen by Wheeler. Then, ez Wheelerwas a trusted lootenant under Uaby whydiden't he deskover his krookedneas enekspose him? Ekko ancera, Why?

Then a tbiukin' over the time whenthe koort house hed noskandel attachedto it, when honest Johnny Korner wuzman enuff to make provision ier re-fundin' the debt an' providiu' fer thesinkin' fund, tharby saven' at least$5000 dollars in interest annooly to thetaxpayers, 1 thought of Jo Canutt en as>how he wuz a builden' a karucter andhome fer hemself and growing famblywhen Brooks Mackay wuz a wild riverlogger.

Au' then thet koort house employeethet served the peepel bo well riz beforeme an' i kould see quiet L. E. Allen,kompetent and klever, behind thekouuter in the treasury,where he will beearter neks Januwary. Opposed to himis one Ed. Ilyrne of Garfield, a goodfarmer, and akkorden' to the Kornmuner, will hey to hire at least 4 men todo his hggerin' fer him, but don't saythet he will meet the ekspenses from hisown poket and we kan only presoomthet, he will be taken writin' lessonswhile overseein' the 4 men work.

Then umonten the staires, one's mindreverts to the proeekutein' attorney'soffis and oi the seleckshun in the puseenof Robert Hauna,of tbeßiickßessfull legalfirm of Hanna & Hanna. Efsueksess atpractißin' law its a kriterion, then thegood peepel of old Whitman ken restassured thet their interests will be pretekted an' krime not reniaiue unpunishedwith this lawyer to charnpen therekaose.

Akroßß the koort room, hard bye thebar of justice, is the quarters of thekounty klerk, an' the sitizens appresht-ated the akshun of the konveuHhun innamin' thet bricht young educator, Mr.W. O. McCaw, for the ollis of klerk. Mr.MoCaw'fl friends are legun an' this manposseasez the praktikel noledge nessess-ury to konduct the offis ekonomikally,and to the satisfackshun of the patronstharof. Klosing a Baekeessfai kareer ivhis school life he has attained the bentin the school of life, and ef there is anekstray man hired in that oftis it won'tbe for the puppoee of giviu' Mr. McCawritin lessens, ez penmanship is practisedin the Kiparia deestrict by sum.

I)ereckly opposite one finds the ekulesujierintendent's offis, and as the repub-likans always karry out there promiseeez Mr. Humphreys alluded to, an' allushey the best on there tickets, they se-lected fer this important offis a womanof queenly beariu', poseserr the highestqualilications an knoweu not only asthe pioneer educator of old Whitman,where she fostered and built up a higherinstitooshun of learning, than olderkommuneties in the east could notboast of at thet early day, but as thesucksessful educator in Walla Wullaand other publik skules. The lady whookkupies this uneek posishun, is Miss L.L. West of Rosalia.

Ez the da wuz a drawin to a kloßp, 1hurried up town an' ez I wuz paaen'Livs fouutan I run rit into an eldurlygentleman, well drest, a karryen a kuneand putteu on lots of dog. Dick diden'recognize his old time friend, fer IkuowedDick when he kept tavern over to Coltontown an' hie brother Lige wuz Co. asses-ser, a riden' around a boss back, maken'the assessment when the kounty wazfustnettled, and the rekerds of the assessersoffis wuz kept iv a soap box. Now no-tin the differunce. Dick rides aroutid inkivered kars on a pass. lustid of theplat books thet wuz bought an' paid ferin a Rephblikau administraehun repre-eenteu' an ekspenditure in original kostand work of over $ 100, bein' rit up,'cause son says there no good en throwsthem overboard, and yet these identikelplat books were modeled after the bestsistem in vogue in one of the most pro-gressive kounties in Washington andthere value was passed on by men kom-petent to judge sich matters an' tuowworth to the humblest taxpayer in asaven of time of offisurs lookin' upboundaries and lines wuz aperent to ennyof us.

But Billey Goodyear see we ought toelect Mr. Duff bekase his brother madea good assessor. But times hez changed,Billey. offis wurk is differunt now thenwhen Lige rode the kounty en made theassessment individually. But in theperson of that young man of acknowl-edged talents for sich work, LeonardAbrams, Whitman kounty will hey akompetent klerikel man at the helm, onewho has served in the kapasety of depu-tie assessor, and a bookkeeper of nomean abillety, en instid of heven a youngman fashion plate in his offis to answerquestions he don't no erbout (when Dickis a kampainen) you'll find Mr. Abramsin charge when assessor. En it duz'ntpay to reduse pepuls assessment in theoffis just afore election, kase you mightbe of the opposite politikel perewaahunen git your 'sessment lowered an' bein'of the other tell on v.

Then paseen' on, I espied a young mana distributen kards to passer's by, ensome how destiny, thet "destiny" thetshapes our ends, rough hew them howwe may," seems to hey it in for him, enthet fate hez been unkind enough toname the aspireant forthesurveyorship,Mr. Woods, "Dennis," long ere theavalanche of ballots falls in the favor ofone Harry Nathan, sivil in manners anda sivil engineer by profeshun, a manwho hez had praktikel work on farms,railroads and everywhere a knowledgeof the science was demanded, and who, ifthe Kommunner don't know it, builthimself up in his profeshun by hardwork, for not menny years ago us farm-ers reckoleck a young man who wuz notaverse to performed manual labor an'when we heard of him worken' on thedocks in Takoma unloaden' tea ships inorder to defray ekspenses, duren thoseawtul demokratik times when even therailroads withdrew their surveyors fromprojected roads and went demokratikinto the hans" of a reseever, like nearlyeverything else, we here in Whitmanknew thet the young man wuz a pursue-in the even tenner of his way an' wouldrise against obstikles, an' he did, an' hehas had a practikel service in the field inthis kounty and it strikes this honestold Bm, of Glen wood Kross Roads, thetthe people ain't agoin' to eksperimentwitti a untried man.

But mention of that neetor of kandi-dates, David H. Shaw, Sr., must be madealone with others as a deserven mau fortneomeof kounty Koroner. Inassuinin'a pioneer of whitman and by peculiarabilities qualified for the position; we alllike to thmk, erreepektive of polatiks, ofa rallyin to 1). H.s support. Yeanago when v an'i wuz in swaddlenclothes almost, Capen Shaw wuz downon Tailors line a maken it hot fer theMexikans, and later on we hear of him aformen' and a drillen' a kompany ofvolunteare for the call of duty in '61alias ready to eerve hie country ez he

Now, Mister Edeter, bekase the peoplelisten'd to false profits in 1000 it is on-reasonable to think thet they will agenbe lead astray and kan not konsheen-shusly support every kandidate on thetickit, an' as Josh Billin's says, suksesedon's consist in never makin' blundersbut in never makin' the same one twist!There is reesen why republikans andfriends of kandidates of all politikal be-leafs, who favor Governor Mcßride's railroad commishun—an' we in old Whitman, the largest agricultural an! wheatraeen rekshun, an' most effected by ad-verse legislation, who love order,desencvand appresheate talent should fail notto vote for Or. Wilson, Oscar E. Hailev,Lillis Smith, J. A. Dix, George M*Witter and E. J. Durham, down to thelast man on the tiket.

The county auditor last week sold twotracts of school land, one near Tekoaand the other near St. John. The tractnear Tekoa contained 160 acres andwas sold for $32 per acre, or $5120. TheSt. John tract sold in^two parcels, 120acres selling for $30 per acre and 40acres bringing $20 per acre, or $4400for the 160 acre tract.

State Irrigation Association,At a meeting held at North Yakima

October 2, the Irrigation Association ofthe State of Washington was organized.The object of this association is to en-courage the reclamation of the aridlands of this state and the building ofreservoirs to conserve the water supplyof the United States government. Therecent enactment of an irrigation law bycongress has made it possible to securethe aid of the government in this work.

Ireland's Population Decreasing.The recent census of Ireland shows a

marked decrease in its population, whichhas been largely attributed to the fam-ine throughout the island, causing thedeath of thousands of people, and forc-ing many others to emigrate. Thisbrings to mind quite forcibly the abso-lute necessity of having plenty of goodfood if we would prolong life, but afterall it is not a question of the amounteaten that makes the people strong andhealthy, but the way it is digested. Dys-peptic people cannot enjoy their meals,and consequently always fee! depressed,irritable and nervous. They should tryHostetter's Stomach Bitters at once. Itis a specific remedy for flatulency, belch-ing, indigestion, dyspepsia and nervous-ness, and is backed by a record of fiftyyears of cures.

Beautiful ComplexionsAre spoiled by using any kind of pre-

paration that tills the pores of the skin.The best way to secure a clear complexion, free from sallowness, pimples,blotches, etc., is to keep the liver in goodorder. An occasional dose of Herbinewill cleanse the bowels.regulate the liver,and so establish a clear, healthy com-plexion. 50- at Elk Drag Store, Colfax;Endicott Drug Co., Endicott.

COUNTY REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

I. We most heartily endorse the adminis-trations of President Theodore Koosevelt,Governor Henry Mcßride, and that of ourseveral national, state and county officials.We particularly commend their vigilance insafeguarding the interests of the people audtheir efforts to enforce the laws impartially,without fear or favor.

11. We affirm our allegiance to theprinciples of the republican party as enunciat-ed in the Philadelphia platform, and call at-tention to the fact that the republican partyid the only national political organization thathas had a definite policy which has been en-acted into legislation for more than fortyyears.

111. We commend the action of our sen-ator, Addison (J. Foster, and CongressmenWilliam L. Jonea and Francis W. Cußhman,for their energetic and successful worV in se-curing liberal appropriations for the improve-ment of rivers and harbors of the state ofWashington, and also for the erection ofsuitable public buildings in the principalcities of the state, that the governmentalaffairs n:ay be administered in quarters com-porting with the dignity and wealth of thenation.

IV. We deplore the untimely death of ournoble aud much beloved president, WilliamMcKinley, who was stricken down in the lineof public duty by the cowardly hand of ananarchist assassin.

V. We favor the election of United Statessenators by the direct vote of the people, andinstruct the members of our state delegationto use their best efforts to necure the adoptionof fuch a plank in our state platform.

VI. We approve of the preliminary *tepstaken to nurvey the Columbia river with theview of having that great waterway open fornavigation from Lewiston to the sea. Weurge that this work be pushed to speedy com-pletion, believing that such will result in anequalization of freight rates as willbe of per-manent benefit to the producers and shippersof this state.

VII. We approve of the bill for an inter-oceanic canal that has been passed by a re-publican congress, and we urge its early com-pletion, in order that the Pacific northwestmay have access to the rich markets of theeastern states and the various foreign coun-tries bordering on the Atlantic ocean.

VIII. We heartily commend the policy ofGovernor Henry Mcßride in his opposition tothe raiiroad lobby, the railroad merger andthe pass evil, and pledge him our earnest andactive Bupport in his tight to maintain therights of the shipper as ngainst the unjnst ex-actions of the railroads. We further pledgeour legislators to first support a railroad com-mission bill drawn in the interests of theshipper, and this failing, then a maximumfreight rate bill carrying a rate not to exceed$3.33£ per ton; and any and all measureswhich promise to give the greatest and moatspeedy relief to the shipper. We furtherpledge and instruct the delegates to the stateconvention to work first, last and all the timefor the incorporation in the state platform ofa plank embodying the sentiments of Gov-ernor Mcßride in regard to railroad legisla-tion.

IX. We are also in favor of the passage ofa law, in compliance with our constitution,making it offense punishable by fine, im-prisonment, or forfeiture of office, of any pub-lic official to accept a free pass or ticket, or tobuy a ticket or pass at a discount, other thanas sold to the public generally; and making itan offense, punishable by fine and imprison-ment, for any one connected with any rail-road or other transportation company to give,or to offer to give, a free paes or ticket toany public official, or to sdll, or offer to sell, tohim a ticket or pass at a discount other thanas sold to the public generally; and to thesupport of such a measure we pledge the hon-est and hearty effort of our legislativenominees.

X. We pledge our legislative delegation towork with the friends of Governor Mcßridein organizing the house and senate along theline of his efforts to secure railroad legisla-tion.

XI. We believe that a threat burden restsupon the people by reason of the great ex-pense of moving our products to railroad orwharf by reason of the deplorable conditionof our public roads. We demand a revisionof our road law, that permanent and scientificroad building along definite lines can bo car-ried out throughout the state. We pledgeour candidates for county commissioner to re-peal the obnoxious ruling that each individualland owner shall be compelled to work outhis road tax in person

XII. We believe that banks should becompelled to make some return for the use ofpublic funds, and urge upon the legislaturethe passage of an act permitting the board ofcounty commissioners to designate such de-positories, and requiring them to secure thacounty in double the amount of the deposit.
