It Is not nt all strange on tho contrary It Id exceedingly fit, that Levi Anltony of Walla Walla should Lo pressed by his multltudo of friends to bocamo a United States Senator. Tho young, magnificent Stato of Washington had many splendid men, hut not ono, probamy at least nono In Eastern Washington to whom It owes so much. Levi Ankcny was n poor boy, who worked hard, day and night, through childhood, youth and young man hood, to ncqulro an education, gain a livelihood, and lay tho foundation for his present fortune. Thoso who know him well know that ho has never forgotten that crucial porlod, that tlmo of strenuous toll; and that his sympathies and If proper his ma terial aid has always been with the lionost struggling, worthy tollorB of tho country tollera In all avocations. Ho knows nil about them; ho has In fact always been ono of them; no man In tho Stnto of Washington can bettor represent them. But If Mr. Ankcny wcro United States Sonator ho would Ira n re pro Bontattvo of no ono class, but of all classes, Ho Is essentially, In nil re spects, a "safo" man. Ho Is not moro friendly to tho great railroad corpor ations that .traverse that Stato thnn ho ought to bo; than any reasonablo, progrcsftlvo man would bo, If honest with himself and his constituency; but he Is not their enemy, and will not poie as such. Neither Is, nor does any other honest, capablo, pro gressive man. Tho railroads havo dono moro thnn all other Influences nud ngoncics combined to "open up" and dovolop that Stato, and bring 'needed peoplo thoro; thoy must to a rtasonnblo extent bo aubjoct to Inw, must regard tho pcoplo'u Intorcsta ns paramount after nil to their own; but much of this clamor ngnlust tho rullronds Is demagogic froth. Mr. Ankcny will nuver poso ns a doma goguo, but ho Is n truo friend ns ho has proven every day of his llfo for many years of all clndsea of honest, decent peoplo, Probably no ninn in Enstorn Wash ington hits really dono so much to benefit the country, to help deserving people, to keep money lit circulation, to build up an develop tho great region of which Walla Wnlla Is tho cuntral point, as Levi Ankeny. Hud a man poor crops and could not moct his obligation, tho ono man who 'both could and would tldo him over was Levi Ankeny. Was n stockman iu a ruu of bard luck, and saw ruin uturlng him In the face, nil ho had to do, If really Industrloud and honest, was to call on Levi Ankeny, Ho used Judgment, of course, but no worthy man was over refused deserved us Istunco In tho Itiuo of noed by Mr. Ankeny. Tho richest man In that region for jrnny years, M;r. Ankcny has also been tho moat helpful, tho ono who has done tho country the most good, Ho may or may not bo Senator, but it Is certain that Washington could not eloct a worthier man. Idaho Is not so Popullstlc as it has been. Uryunlsm Is pretty nearly dead there, as well as elsewhere. Ida ho, except for tho great coal strike, would go Republican this fall, aud may anyway, llutte, Mont., is undoubtedly tho greatest city of ltd kind the most unique and ono of tho most lntorest lug cities on earth. Us people are ulso among tho best ou earth, even It Borne of thorn nro a llttlo "wild." Tho gumblora nro probably still gambling but boiuo of them are hav lug rather a rocky road, . Montana this year way not bo quite so stoutly Democratic na usual. Hut there are somo mighty stout Democrats up there. PnOQRESS OP THE NEQRO. In recent years much has been writ ten about the Negro, some of It fan ciful, some ill-considered, some falla cious, Homo false. Through a genera tion of tho most eventful times In tho world's history tho Negro has been compelled to mako his own way In tho prcsonco of nnd uomowhnt In tho faco of competition by tho strongest, most conquering race of earth, one that" conquered Its freedom long ago, nnd has been progressing for thous ands of years. Tho Negro- In Ameri ca has been frco but a generation. In that time It cannot bo denied that ho haB wonderfully progressed, con sidering tho conditions that en thralled him. Ho has climbed, rather than fallen lower. Ho has furnished, Ik furnishing, grounds for hope for him, rather than for despair for him. Ho offers proof In many examples, that his face Is toward tho stars, not tho dark depths of boll. Details cannot bo gono Into here, In a brief article, nut tho mention of a fow names ought to bo sufllclont to ndvlso thinking men that tho Ne gro 1b working his way upward.

Tho Rcpubllcnna of Wnlla Walla county will enrry thnt county next month by n Inrgo majority, perhaps tho largest in Its history, not only ho caiMo a largo majority of tho voters of that county are Republicans, but becauso, besides, that party has put out an oxcollont ticket, composed throughout of tho best class of rep resentative mon. Tho legislative ticket upon which tho fight general ly throughout Washington contors aB It should Is especially iitrong and nccoptablo. Tho local ticket in Wnlla Wjilln county la ns follows: Legislative Ticket. John n. Wilson Twelfth district A. F. Keos........ Thirteenth district E. M. Denton Thirteenth district County Ticket. J. Z.

McCnw....Conim. 3d district Without now gonlg Into details, this Is throughout n winning ticket, even acknowledging tho fact that tho Democrats havo also nominated a strong ticket, composed of good mon. In fact, nobody but. a tolernbly good man, at least, can got upon n ticket In thnt exceedingly rich, prosperous, productive, progressive, oven glor leus region. Tho Walla Wnlla valley Is ono of tho world's garden-spots almoRt n modern Eden and tho mon named nbovo nro tho fittest to repre sent and carry on tho business of thnt wonderful county. Tho Now Ago. which has mnny friends la Wnlla Whlln, congratulates them In advanco upon their certain election. A NORTHWESTERN PAPER. Tho New Ago Is not only n Port land paper, but a Tacomo, Spokane, Wnlla Wnlla, Butto, Helena, Holso City, naker City and Pondloton pa per. In all thnt great region there Is no colored man's paper nono pub lished by a colored man oxcoiTT Tho Now Age. It expectd to bo moro nd moro a paper for all that region throughout which It has many pat rons though not neglecting Its home city at all. Mr. H. O. Wilson, general agent ot the Oregon Short Wne at Butte, Mont, Is not only a cnpable railroad man, but he is a very valuable man in that position, both for his popular company and for tho public, which he faithfully served. He ia deservedly ono of tho most esteemed men in nutto, and In tho whole Pacific North west. Such a man doos an Immense amount of good iu such a country, and In such a position. City Attorney McNary can bo de pended upon to do his duty, without yielding, to the excitement of a "crusade." Tho State of Washington will mako a great mistake If It yields to dema gogic; clamor against the . railroads. CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE. Yankee Ittflrennltr Found Kxpedlenta to Prevent Decay of Btone. Tho process of stono preservation now being used on tho exterior of tho new government printing ofllco in Washington, tho largest printing es tablishment In tho world, Is a product of Yankee ingenui ty nnd was first employed In rescu ing from decny the Egyptian obelisk In Central Park, Now York City, seventeen years ngo. Tho obelisk, or CMtOl-ATIlA'a NEEDLE. or Cleopatra's needle, nB It Is moro pop ularly known, began to show evidences of crumbling decay In 1885, although It had withstood tho rigors of air and element since 1500 11. C, when It was erected iu tho Templo of Amen nt Hcllopolls, Egypt. A few years be fore Christ was born it was removed to Alexandria, and plncetl In tho Tem ple of Cacsarlen during tho reign of Augustus Cnesar. In 1877 tho Khe dive of Egypt presented the nuclctt monolith to the United States, nnd nfter consuming three years In Its re moval to this country, It wns set up in Central Park In 1881. Tho pedestal Is nlno feet, four and one-hnlf Inches square at the base, Is seven feet high nud weighs -JO tons. The monolith Is 70 feet in height, Is seven feet sqtinro at tho base, live and one-hnlf feet sqtinro nt the npex nnd weighs 224 tons. Tho destructive effects of our cllmnto lnul nlrcady accomplished some (lnmngo on ItH surface 780 pounds of loose stone being removed before meas ures were taken to preservo It. A commlsslnon composed of promi nent scientists examined the stone nnd decided that tho wearing nway wiih caused by tho action of acids and alka lies In the air, resulting from the conl consumed. Tho commission resolved to employ tho Cnffal paralllno process of waterproofing tho obelisk. Parnf fine, which Is known to resist the no tion of nil acids and alkalies, was used ns n bnse, and the compound nfter be ing sprend over the surface, waB set Into the stone by means of heat. The process did not change tho nat ural color nnd texturo of tho stone, nnd checked the decny. So satisfactory was tho result of tho experiment that tho samo treatment has been since adopted by builders throughout the country. MARRIED A DYING MILLIONAIRE. An operation that might prove fatal being decided upon as a last resort to cure Millionaire Ilradford n. McGreg or, New York, a Standard Oil magnate, ho hastily married Miss Clara Bclilcm iner, a beautiful society girl, whllo he lay on his sick bed. They had been it IIS, iiiiADronu U'ailEOOIU engaged for some time. McGregor did not recover from the operation, nud his fulr bride found herself widowed Iu n few days, Ileforo the ordeal McGreg or, It Is said, had made a will leaving his wife $1,000,000, In case of his death. During his critical Illness sho nursed him with devoted care, McGregor was burled at Cluveland, Ohio, his former home. To Make Green Ten. Ono of 'the most notablo discoveries of recent years Is this, which hns Just rewarded the efforts of tho depart ment of agriculture. It Is 'a process of making green tea without tbo use of chemicals. When the leaf Is dried In the ordinary way the oxygen of the atmosphere unites with a natural fer ment In the leaf and turns It black. To preserve the color of the leaf and make a green tea two deadly poisons are usually employed, says tho Washing ton Star. The new discovery is that by beating the leavea to a high temperature the ferment Is killed, oxygenation prevent ed nd the green color of the leaf is retained. Secretary Wilson shows some samples of beautiful green tea grown In South Carolina and made by the new process. As tho problem ot making green tea without tho use of chemicals has punted scientists and tea growers for years Mr. Wilson Is highly satisfied with the success of his experiments. With the labor of tho llttlo negroes. the cheapest labor In the world, tea Is tt very profitable crop In South Caro lina. Illiteracy lu Italy. No less thnn 1,132.237 of Italy's town population above the age of 15 are Illit erate, This means that, of the wholol population, fen aud a quarter millions can neither read nor write. tit. &s-nt.f V;v mJ9- 7& Hulk lick lii Pi lllluhiiMsssssI ''nyypi trya k I illlluiinHnuW "''Iw Iraz-fl-Ai 7i 1 1 m' I II l3i''vL T.U 0K H I NAPOLEON OF LABOR. John Mitchell Fnlrly Worshiped by the Anthracite Coal Miners. A remarkable phase of the antlira clto struggle In Pennsylvania Is the blind confidence which' the men place in their lender, John Mitchell, writes Walter Wcllman. There Is not n breath of criticism upon his generalship. Usu ally In a big strike thoro are plenty of dissatisfied men who think things could havo been better managed had they been nt tho helm, but here no word of dissatisfaction with Mitchell enn bo heard. Americans nnd foreign ers alike, they simply Idolize him. They nro ready nt nil times to obey every order he Issues. If he were to tell tho foreigners to go Jump into tho Wyo ming Hlvcr they would do It. They mnkc n dcml-god of him. Their faith in him Is completely sublime. They have no more doubt thnt he Is going to win the buttle for them thnn they have of their Joy over being In Ameri ca Instead of back in Poland, Italy or Hungary. To a good many of tho newly arrived miners John Mitchell Is tho one grcnt man In tho United States. Possibly they havo heard of Plerpont Morgan, and have a dim Iden thnt there Is such n man ns Theodore Roosevelt, nut nsk the first Hun or Polandcr you meet on l'HESIDEMT JOHN UlTCHELI. the street who Is President of the Unit ed States and tho odds nro nbout even thnt he will reply: "Johnny D'MItch." John Mitchell, President of tho U. M. W. of Amcrlcn, Is tho only president a good many of them ever heard of. President Mitchell probably occupies a higher place In tho confidence 'of his followers and of the public at largo than nny other labor leader America has known. Ills power for good or evil Is something tremendous. Vet this young man of a llttlo moro than 80, who has spent fourteen years of his life underground, pick in hand and lamp upon his cap, Is not In tbo least changed by his elevation to such an exalted position. The only effect It haB had on him Is to mako him keenly, al most painfully, alive to his responsi bility. A man of heart and conscience, ho feels the burden. Ills dally and hourly prayer Is that ho may mako no blunder which will bring unnecessary hardship upon his faithful followers or deprive them of any advantage which properly belongs to them. Mr. Mitchell not only carries a tre mendous responsibility as leader of tho greatest labor strlko known In tho his tory of tho United Stntes, but he strug gles nlong under a prodigious amount of work. He has scores of callers dally. Ho geta an average of 150 let ters every twenty-four hours, and to every one of them he dictates nu nn swer. A world of detail connected with the management of the relief de partment demands his attention, nnd the result of this nctlvlty is thnt tho smooth-faced, black-eyed young Napo leon of organized labor Is nt his task nn average of nbout clghteeq hours per day. L The Cause of Lightning. Where does the superabundant elec tric energy ot a thunderstorm como from? Iu the annual report of tho Uni ted States Weather Ilurcau, condensa tion Is credited with a large share In Its production. When small, feebly charged particles of mist are welded together, as It were, into raindrops, since the po tential increases as the square of the mass, a high tension mny easily be de veloped. Ten drops, each charged to one thousnud volts, will thus produce one drop charged to one hundred thousand volts. As soon as drops begin to form at tho beginning of a storm, the rela tively small tension of the atmosphere charges soon becomes enormously mul tiplied, and disruptive lightning dls cbrges are the result.. iMaklag a Cautious) Statement.

It covers 1,700 acres, and contains 10,000 olive trees, 3,000 walnuts, 10,000 al monds, nud uearly 0,000 other fruit and nut trees. No Joke Either Way. "It must be horrible to be burled alive.".
