It vavivvt'
the convention matter goes to' show
that the Pacific coast is puu look
- . .. . .mi i -1.
ed upon in the light of a step-child
bv those who manipulate the poli-
. re. : ; va mil. All the
great party leaders care for us is
our votes, which they hope will be
cast as per centralized arrange
ment, with the expressed proviso
that not even a member of the cab
inet will be vouchsafed us. It is
only of late years that a president
has felt it even his duty to even
call on us while in office. President
Haves breaking the record in that
respect and President Harrison
following suit in '91. Mr. Cleve
land did manage to get ns far west
as St. Louis, but, all west of the
Mississippi river is terra incognito
to him and he probably has as
good an idea of how Omaha looks
as he has of California and Oregon.
The man who has failed to visit the
Pacific const has no idea of our
country's greatness and is not fit
to be president. Jt is pretty near
ly time the coast asserted itself in
this matter and demanded some
thing more at the hands of the
government than ft pimple change
of postmasters and revenue col
lectors. The Salem Statesman puts it up
this way: The dispatches from

slipped from Mr. Hermann's eager
grasp. He was turned down. This
means that there will be candi
dates in plenty for his place, able
men with strong followings men
who have been promised and de
served something at the hand of
their party. The war is now on.
It will furnish some fun for those
who take interest in political af
fair. which includes nearly every
body. -
The Spokesman-Review very
cruelly throws cold water down the
backs of the populist who are ea
ger for British gore, by giving in
ternational law to the effect that a
war with Great Britain does not
mean repudiation of debts owed to
the citizens of either country by
treaty between the two nations. It
slaps a plaster over the sore, how
ever, by winding up as follows:
"It needs to bo added, however,
that with a populist congress at the
helm, all debts owing from the
Uuited States to England might be
repudiated in defiance of treaty,
and the act of repudiation would
stick provided we whipped Eng
land."
On another page of this week's
Press will be found an amusing
lotiAr written to the Walla Walla
Statesman from the "East End."

You can tell at a glance the French
woman from the American, the latter
from the English woman, and yet, aaya
the Paria-New York Herald, each wom
an is a perfect type.
. The well-dressed Frenchwoman
wean a very large hat or exquisite
toane: her chiffon blouse has short
sleeres, and is made with turndown
collar; ber glores are very long, reach
ing far abore the elbow, and, although
white, are perfectly clean and fresh.
She has a waist at wnateTer saennce,
also hips. , She wears a white reu,
which she nerer putson, under her hat,
and when she walks, which is seldom,
it is on the tips of her toes. f
The well-dressed JSngiisb woman
wears in the morning a man's colored
shirt, with white collar, a man's neck
tie, a tailor-made white drill or holland
jacket and skirt, a pretty hat with flow-

keep the fringe in curl.
She has a rood ngure ana is Terr u,
does not wear high heels and uses her
whole foot when walking.
The American woman is a combina
tion of these twq. With jrreat acute
ness she selects the best points of each,
but you would nerer take her for any
body but herself. She is rather inclined
to the enormous hats of the French,
but she does not wear short sleeves
and low necks with them.
She is always appropriately dressed
and has a costume for every occasion
which always seems the very best
thing that she could have chosen. She
seems to hare calculated all weathers
and all occurrences with an eye to her
dress-whence her success.
ANTS AGAINST SNAKE.
Humbert Vfon la a Long; nd Exciting
Battle.
"While camping in Alabama during
the late war," said Col. II. C. Crossman
of Dayton. 0., according to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, "I witnessed an
attack of a band of black ants upon
striped snake.
"One evening, while I was trying to
go to Meep, after a long day's march
felt something move under my head.
lifted one corner of the blanket and
found a snake between three and four
feet in length. I quickly hit it with a
small stick, but the reptile seemed
hardly stunned by the blow, so I picked
ft up on the end of the stick and threw
it about fifteen feet away. The snake
landed on a large ant hill. Almost in'
itantly the ants poured forth fro
.heir nest, which was underneath, aad
egan a vigorous attack upon the in
ruder, who was soon covered by scores
f his assailants, biting him fearfully.
Che battle raged with fury, the snake
vrithing about in torture.
"The contest at first seemed an un
gual one, for the snake was rapidly
'binning out his persecutors, but on
,he other hand, the ants were numer
jus and quick in tHeir aggressive
movements. The snake with one blow
af his tail would kill or wound a long
line of ants, but the active little crea-
ture8 were boon rcinforced by frestf
troopsj!' fought with a desperation

scene, ut as there appeared no near

watching -it and, stretching m.viwlf
again on my blanket, went to sleep,
liuforo striking tents the next morning
I I went to look ot the battle ground,
The slain insects were scattered In
every direction, but there were sis or
seven watchful ants upon the back of

Lord Bowen, an English judge, was
once tempted to sum up ironically. It
was tho case of a burglar who had
bin caught, having entered from the
roof and taken he precaution to leave
his boots on top, ijlt defense was that
he was in the habit of taking midnight
strolls on the roofs of houses, and that
he was tempted by curiosity to have a
Jpk at one of the interiors. Lord
Uowaij said, sarcastically: "If, gentle
men of the jury, you think it probable
that the prisoner eoHsjdered the roofs
of tlio houses a salubrious place for an
evening walk) if you suppose tha( the
temptation to inspect the interior of
the houses beneath him was the out
come of a natural and pardonable curi
Hty, In that case, of course, you will
acquit him, and regard him as a
thoughtful and considerate man, who
would naturally remove his boots be
fore entering the house, and take
every precaution not to disturb his
neighbors." To the judge's amazement,
the jury took him at his word and ac
quitted the prisoner. Lord Bowen
never attempted to joke with a jury
"Saved My Life"
VETERAN'S STORY.
"Several years, ago, while in Fort
Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe
cold, attended with a terrible cough,
that allowed ino no rest day or
night. The doctors after exhaust
ing their remedies, pronounced my
case hopeless, say
ing they could do no
more for me. At
this time a bottle of
AYER'S
Cherry Tectoral was
yjj'sent to me by a
I friend who urged
',V m t take it, which
I did, ami soon after I was greatly
relieved, and in a short time was
completely cured. I have never had
much of a cough since that time,
and I firmly believe Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral saved my lire." AV.,11.
