A wellknown Washington correspondent recently spent nn entire day at Princeton ns the guest of Grover Cleve land. His conversation, it was more tharr-an interview, with the ex-President natu rally turned on the political situation and after the day was done he wired his paper I "The man who knows more about the desires and ambi tions ol Grover Cleveland than uuybody else in the world utterly repudiates the suggestion that the sage of Princeton is trimming hi sails for another experience in the Prsidenvy. That man is Grover Cleveland." The correspondent writes at. great length regarding the "Cleve land situation." He says that Mr. Cleveland has, on numerous occasions, repudia ted the suggestion that bede sires to return to public life but that hefeelthat it would be lidieulouseforhiiuto come out with a statement to the effect that he was not a can didate for the presidency when it has never been offer ed to him. Had one delega tion been instructed for him the situation would be differ ent, but, as it stands, he con aiders that mere is no occa sion for any public utterance from him. Mr. Cleveland has not denied that'he gave per mission to flie correspond ent to quote him and says hnt in some details he was incorrect i.r quoted but I he m terviewer assures your cor respondent that he quoted the exPresident correctly, There is no more nnbappv man in Washington today, M V over the Post office Depart uient scandal than President Roosevelt, save Postmaster General Payne. The press and the people are clamoring for the resignation of Payne from the Cabinet. The Presi dent regaids Payne as the man who binds the Roose velt interests to the Hanna contingent and he dares not intimate that his resignation would be accepted although many of the mcJst loyal Re publican papers insist that Payne should resign. Ry cheap attempt to get behind McKintey s skirts and repu tation Ph.v ne has angered the republicans. By his utter in competence, moral and men tal, Payne has disgusted the democrats and in fact every inrrt thinking citizen ac- uuainted with the facts. He has been forced by the press a tire of public opinion to make public the Rristow reply to the Tulloch charges, That reply, accompanied by the re ports of several Postoffice in Bpectors, supports the Tul loch charges iu every instance and reveals ti continuation of petty pilfering and officia debuuehery sufficient to dis credit the entire republican party. In eyery line, former First Assistant Postmaster ueneral Perry Heath isshown up in the most damaging liirht and every one who knows the facts knows tha Postmaster General Smith was hut a figurehead, whil Heath was the actual Post master General, put there by IIunnnfor the solo purpose of furthering the Hanna po litieal interests, regardless of thp amount of the rnscalitv which that entailed. - Heath did his work well. Hanna be came the dictator of the res publican party, so much ro that Roosevelt is today a fraid to seriously offend him, aod now Payne, the pitiful t m ti tool ot ii anna, is receiving he blame lor his weak at- empt to cover up his mas ter's trail. Notwithstanding the at tempt to gain glory by the advocacy of a tariff by Jo seph Chamberlain in the Brit ish Parliament that same ad vocacy is the cause of serious anxiety to the Republicans. The Republicans have a clear V outlined policy. It has hree planks; one, to deceive he low tariff advocates of he west into believing that the republican party wiil e ventually revise the tariff a- ong protection lines; two. to make the high tariff ben eficiaries of the east believe hat the tai iff will never be owered by the republicans; and three, to hold the ques tion in abeyance so that, in the event of an increase in the tariff revision sentiment, thej can adopt the McKin- ey Buffalo speech as a part of the platform of 1904, and thus steal the tat iff revision thunder of the democrats. Che attitude of Chamberlain, however, gi ves promise of pre cipitating the tariff question and forcing the republicans to a pronouncement on the reciprocity question during the next session of Congress, greatly to the consternation of such high priests of protew tion as Aldnch. Hanna, Piatt of Connecticut, et al. During the ten months ending with May the United Kingdom im ported American products to the a mount of $21 7,004 ,4RS. What would happen to the United States if any British policy, whereby this immense trade were cut off, were to be adopted can be easily sur mised, and that is tin: reason th republicans of the east wish Joseph Chamberlain and his protection reciprocity ten deucies were in the middle of darkest Africa, nor has the opposition with which Cham berlain's ideas have been re ceived served to quiet the fears of the ultra-protection ists. Representative J. A. Bede, of Minnesota, has just been in Wellington and, like ev ery Minneotian,hasbrought with him cause for uurest on the part of the republicans He says: "The people of Min nes'ita are seriously thinking of the great benefit they would derive from reciproci ty with Canada. The busi ness interests of the State have organized a league with that end in view. Minnesota is turning to diversified farm ing. The Canadian farmers are wheat farmers. Wee an not sell them their butter, eggs, cheese, fruit and vari ous products' Mr. Bede's announcement caused a bad quarter of an hour to the President. He too favors re ciprocity but bis o.vprience with the Cuban treaty has taught him a lesson and he will make no more nttempts to secure the ratification of u republican Congress for a re ciprocicy treaty. Representative Cannon is in Washington And is devo ting much of his time to fa miliurizing hitnt-elf with the Postoffice situation. He fears that the investigation will be so prolonged that Congress will have to take a hand in it, and he is urging expedi tion on the Postoffice offi cials. Asking if he had begun the reorganization of t b e House Committee, Mr. Can- non laughed and said. "No, I will wait till 1 am sppaker before I do that. Besides the veiy meiilappoipted to good positions might die before Congress convenes and then I would have made enemies for nothing." His Last Hope Reallied. Sentinel, Gebo, Mont. In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1669. the editor ol this paper was among the many seek ers after fortune who made the big; race one fine day in April. Durinff his traveling ubout and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he en countered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to Check, and along in June the case became so bad that he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him , one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big rlose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, ami in a few minutes the oe was repeated . The 'good effect of the medicine was soon no ticed and within an hour the pa tient wus taking his first s c u n d sleep for a fortnight. The one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feci grateful. The season for bowel disorders bo- ing at hand HUggests thin item. For sale by M. 11 Blackburn.

Mr. Editor: Apples kep here the year round, and the prospect is good for a fine crop this country. This is a good stock country, and the stock is high, Good horses feell fioni $150 to $100. Milk cows from forty to sixty dol ars, Beef cattle 3 to 4 cts.l er ft)b.; hogs 6 to 7. Labor is scarce and wages good from $1 to $5 per day, board . included. This must b a health place, as there hasn't been enough since this part of the country has been set tied about twen ty years to start a grave vaid, The nearest ccraeterj is 7 miles. Of all the acquaintances I Have made in a year mere hasn't been but one death, and that wasfrom drowning. There has been a great change in the west in the past few years. The wild west with its numerous cattle kings and droves of cow boys is nl most a thing of the past. Civilization, agriculture and industry have taken their places, and the couutry is rapidly Billing up with the best class of society. The cli mate is fairly good, the tem perature seldom going above 90 in the summer nor below zero in the winter. The nights are nearly always cool en ough to sleep under a blan ket. We have no tornadoes nor washouts, except where some thoughtless person lo ared too low down in some canyon. This is a wonderful coun try. ns the formation is dif ferent from that of any oth er country J have ever seen The rivers and their tributa ries are all down in deep canyons or guMies. We have no bottom lands along the watercourses. There aro some fine bench lands down to wards the river. Some of them coutain as much as much ns 100 acres, others not more than 10 acres. The northwest territory has undoubtedly been an in land sea, and been drained by the water cutting through the Cascade mountains where the Columbia river now flows through. The water receding has formed in channels and gradually cut its way down until it has formed those ra vines, gulches and canyons 1 hese places where t he river beds can be plainly traeei tor miles hundreds ot leet a hove where they now run and in a different direction.
