Coniniiuioner Organized gangs of crooks may for a time defy the law and apparently flour ish. But sooner or later their sins find theui out, they become as a stench in the nostrils of the law-abiding, and vig orous measures suddenly drive them from their vantage ground, and they are brokeu up and dispersed. The exten sive gang of horse thieves operating throughout the Northwest will in good time share a like experience, though they now seem to be thriving. The dis patches tell of even a larger and better organized gang than this that must suc cumb to the law. It is a distillers' onion, a brotherhood of moonshiners which has just been located in North Georgia. It is a stransre sort of associa tion, having headquarters in Murray county, and having a membership of hundreds scattered throughout the sur rounding counties. The objects of the association are to protect the members Irani the government, and to encourage the manufacture and sale of illicit whisky. When a member of the union is arrested, it is the duty of the other members to see that he is released. If the deputy marshal gets one witness to jiwear that be saw the man making "whisky, three or four will testify to an alibi. Each member is bound by an oath signed in blood. He is sworn to -Jcill any member who informs on an- -Other. In this way they hoped to pro tect each other from revenue men, but their secret leaked out, and it has be- come necessary to bring prisoners to At Janta for trial to get them away from ' the influence of the distillers' onion. was embraced within the public domain. arable land was as free as the water in the streams that coursed across it. The supply seemed inexhaustible, and the internment found it necessary to hold , out special inducements to lure settlers j into the farther west, in the Racine I Northwest iriiinct so far as to denote till) acres to a sinele settler and his wife. Today we have the exciting spectacle of nearly 200,000 people racing and strug gling to acquire a reserve just thrown open to entry. And the land in this re serve is of a character that few would have taken a quarter of a century ago. Out of this spectacle little can be drawn that is not tinged with a melan choly aspect. If the arable land is not quite exhausted, the time is certainly near when it will lie. A government which has civen with lavish hand for more than a eentury can give no more forever. Henceforth It must live entirely off its people. Henceforth the deserving homeseeker must make t-rim with the speculators and the land grant railroads, and the surplus population must settle down to the bard conditions of tenant life. There is evolution if not revolution ahead. A nation which has never known landed want, which has stimu lated and fostered the moving and de veloping spirit of its surplus population and its border elements, can not face NEWS NOTES. It is estimated that the hay crop this year is worth about $1,000,000,000. The indications are that the corn crop will be at least 1,700,000,000 bushels. The value of the crop at 43 cents a bushel would be about 72:,0O0,OOO. The wheat crop of the year will probably bung to the producers i()0,000,000 ; cottou at least 2"0,000,lKX); oats. $ 183,000,000, and potatoes 12),000,000. In the lan- J guuge of the esteemed New York Sun, "We will be tiappr yet, Yiiu bet:' It has been figured out that according to the votes cast iu the house on the re peal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, 41,000,000 of the eople of the United States are opposed to the right about to the conditions long ruling j further purchase of silver and 151,000.000 favor it. A majority of 22,000,000 is ample. in Europe without suffering inconven ience and trouble. The United States having long fostered the land-seeking appetite must now expect to encounter some distress in dealing with that appetite. Either immigration must be checked, the people edu cated to acceptance of the changed con ditions, or the prevailing system of land tenure will have to be modified or revolutionized. The American spirit is not a tenant spirit. It craves a free landed title, and to satisfy that crav ing will hardly quibble at an undertak ing having for its purpose restrictions upon the ownership of land. The American people are not likely to make one bite of the Henry George cherry, but they may be expected to do conaid erable nibbling within the next quarter of a century. Spokane Review.

The Vancouver Columbian says : The republicans in congress are beginning to clamor for Governor McGraw to call an xtra session of the legislature to elect United States senator to fill the vacancy c:itt-ed by the rejection of John A. Allen by i'i:.t body. Upon partisan grounds tii is agitation is based. It is urged that the senate is so evenly divided that one vote may give the republicans the senate for the next six yean. No worse mis fortune cocld befall the people of this Htate than to be compelled to endure another senatorial farce. The action of the last legislature came near enough putting the republican party in hole mid McGraw is too shrewd to risk another.

Bat if gold alone is the standard, it will make no difference what amount of silver is TmHHDAY, September 19th. Busi ness in the past few days has remained qn'iet and not so satisfactory as expected. There is, however, a feeling of confi dence among business men of an early improvement and activity in trade. General merchandise quotations are un changed save in coffees and rice, which have experienced an advance recently. Country produce continues to arrive freely and prices are steady, with a downward tendency in some kinds. Fruits, such as will suffer exporting, are in fair inquiry at last quotations, ex cepting peaches, which have declined and are now quoted at 60 to 75 cents per box. The market supply of egs is some what shorter and has an upward ten dency, although present quotations are unchanged. Poultry is in fair demand for export, and spring chickens are quoted at (2 to 2.50 jer dozen. Old fowls, 13 to 13.50 per dozen. Ducks and geeee are out of the market and no quotations are given. Turkeys are in fair demand at 10 cents per pound. Only a few have been offered at that jirice. The wheat market is quite unsettled, and has a slight tendency to advance above quotations of today, which are 47 to 4H cents per bushel.

Never in the history of the United States has there been such a rush as oc curred Saturday on the Cherokee strip. The mad haste of the settlers is scarcely to be wondered at when the land is worth from (25 to $100 an acre without improvements.- There were several tragedies, as might have been expected, and for several months there will be fierce legal fights, besides these personal encounters. The idea that silver was demonetized by the act of 1873 is constantly reiterated and seldom challenged. As matter of fact nothing of the kind was done. The United States simply stopped coining silver, but all that had been previously minted was left untouched and contin ued to circulate as before, and no one was alarmed about it because there was no danger of nndue inflation. The con ditions have been very different under the operations of the Sherman purchase act, which, was adopted to stay the tide of free silver. Silver has not been de monetized and never will lie. Neither can it be endowed with a fictitious value. era Oregon and Washington.

The Tacouia News sjteaks strongly in defense of Krug, absconding treasurer of Seattle, that the banks terrorized their depositors and would not allow them to withdraw their mo'iey, threatening them with social and business boycott if they persisted.
