The Reckless Wind.
The wind was say and daucini;As in the careless mood it flew.
And itset Uio sign boards clashing
All along the avenue,But it tarried ut the crossing
Where there stood a dainty miss.Ami revealed 'midst rectieas tossing
Something just like this.
Oh, Wind,' twas very heedless;Better breeding you should know,
And itought to be quite needlessFor your friends to tell you so.
Yet the vision?who'll despise it,E'en though comment be amiss!
No one there could recognize it,But it looked like this:
Washington Post.
Strength of Washington Lumber.
Representatives of the Chicago, Mil-waukee & St. Paul Railroad, a shorttime ago at Tacoma, tested thoroughlythe strength of fir timbers, for use inbridge building. The results were verysatisfactory, and may be summarizedas follows: For the first test, a dry firstringer, sixteen inches wide, eight andthree-quarters inches thick and twentyfeet long, was hoisted upon the hydrau-lic jack. It had seen two and onc-lialf-ycars' service in a Northern Pa-cific bridge and had been puncturedin ten or fifteen different places byspikes. Power was applied and at2,700 the piece broke. This indicateda supporting strength of about 17,000
I>ounds. The distance between thegirders was nineteen feet.
A dry firstringer, BxlG inches, anda 10-foot span was employed in thesecond test. The stringer had beenfor three years in a bridge located ona frequently traveled part of theNorthern Pacific railroad, and was as
dry as a powder-horn. The hydro-static gauge showed 4,000 before signsof weakness, and 4,300 when the crashcame. The fiber strain was If inches,and the supporting strength about45,000 pounds.
The extraordinary tensile strengthof green fir was demonstrated in thethird test. A piece of green timber 8
xl 6 inches and 15f-foot span wasused. The dial iudicated 5,000, withIf inches deflection, and the fiber wasnot injured. The jack refused to ope-rate, the pressure was relaxed and themachine examined. A clogging ofsawdust was removed and the jackfreshly charged with alcohol, when thetest proceeded. Pressure was againapplied to the same piece of timberand 59,000 was shown by the dialhand before the stringer broke, the de-flection was 2$ inches and the sup-porting strength about 70,000.
Three more tests were made, and ineach instance the same satisfactoryresult was attained. The ledger saysthis is the first thorough test that hasbeen made as the tensile strength of na-tive fir. It demonstrates the fact thatWashington fir, which is almost inex-haustible iu quantity, is superior to
the pine of Michigan or Wisconsinand even exceeds the hard woods instrength. Evidence of their durabilitycan be found on every hand.
Free Reclining Chair Care via Union
Pacific System.
Train No. 4, " The Limited FastMail" leaving Portland on the UnionPacific System at 7 A. M. daily, in ad-dition to Pullman Palace and ColonistSleepers and Dining Cars, is alsoequipped with elegant lree RecliningChair Cars, both first-class and Colo-
nist, which run through from Portlandto Chicago without change.
Both first-class and Colonist ChairCars are furnished with Reclining
Chairs of the latest improved pattern;
are fitted up with smoking rooms,
lavatories for both ladies and gentle-man, and are lighted by gas.
All classes of passengers are car-ried in these cars without additionalcharge.
Passengers desiring the quickest
time and the best possible servicefrom Portland and the northwest to
all eastern points, should purchasetheir tickets via the Union PacificSystem. Their Agents will takepleasure in furnishing rates, tickets,through baggage checks, detailed in-formation, etc., upon application. J.C. Percival, Agent, Olymoia.
THE latest and most unique inven-
tion is a machine for buttering bread.
It is used in connection with a great
patent bread cutter, and is intendedfor use in prisons, workhouses, and
other reformatory institutions. Thisis a cylindrical-shaped brush which isfed with butter, and lays a thin layer
on the bread as it comes from the cut-
ter. The machine can be worked byhand, steam or electricity, and has acapacity of cutting and buttering 750
loaves of bread an hour. The saving
of butter and of bread and the decreasein the quantity of crumbs is said to bevery large.
ASSISTANT Secretary Chandler, of theInterior Department, has sustained alaud office ruling, which cancelled the
homestead entry of Lizzie M. Ordwav,
of section 15, township 25, range 2, Se-
attle district. The ruling is made on
the investigation of a special agent
who reported that Miss Ordway andI/icretta H. Hiscock were livingin aliouce built on a dividing line between
two claims, and the improvements
were built by an agent of the Port
Madison MUI Co. Apparently the two
claims were of benefit to the company,
rather than bona fide homesteads.
A FARMER'S LEAGUE
The Flans of the Organization clearlyset Forth?Full Text of the Consti-tution?Non-Secret, Non-Partisanand Independent?Object, Welfareof the Farmers.
In response to a number <>f inquirieswe give the plan of organization andthe constitution of the Farmers'league:
The Farmers' league is a non-secret,independent, non partisan organiza-tion, in harmony with the grange,kindred associations, agricultural so-cieties, farmers' clubs and similar or-ganizations. But the league goes astep further. Its object is the (aimers'
political welfare. The work of theleague is directed toward securing a,just representation and treatment ofthe agricultural interests in Congressand in the Legislatures and due re-cognition of farmers in all public af-fairs, without conflicting with the l>estinterests of the entire jieople. It con-sists of a National branch, State
branch, County branches and subor-dinate branches. The national branchhas general supervision of the affairsof the league and the work of organi-zation, and attends to its interests inCongress. The State branch confinesits work to the State Legislature. Thecounty branches are in a measure in-dependent yet under the supervisionof the State branch, and attend ex-clusively to county matters and to af-
fairs in senatorial and representativedistricts. The subordinate branchesfurnish the delegates who constitutethe county branches and attend tathe farmers' interests in local districtsand in each election precinct.
CONSTITUTION?ARTICLE I?OFFICERS.
Section 1. The officers of a branchare, president, vico-president, secretary,treasurer and door keeper, with an
executive committee and such otherofficers and committees as may he de-sirable.
Section 2. Officers arc elected inthe national branch once in four years.In the State branch once in two years.In county and subordinate, annually.
ARTICLE II?BRANCHES.
Section 1. The national branchwill consist, when permanently or-ganized, of the president aud secretaryof each State branch.
Section 2. The State branch con-sists ol delegates, one from eachcounty, to be elected by ballot, for twoyears by the county branch.
Section 3. County branches con-sists of delegates, one front each sub-ordinate branch in the county, electedannually by ballot. They have fullcontrol of the work in the county, andregulate the fees and dues of the sub-ordinate branches.
ARTICLE III?MEMBERS.
Section 1. Members of branchesmust be directly interested in the cul-tivation of the soil, and may be ad-mitted by a majority vote of the mem-bers present at a regular meeting or atany sjiecial meeting called for thepurpose. Members must be legal vo-ters, women excepted.
Section 2. The initiatory fee ofmembership shall not be less than onedollar.
Section 3. Each branch may makesuch rules as they may deem proper,not in conflict with this constitution.
Section 4. Every member shall payan annual due of two cents to the na-tional branch uud at least three centsto the State branch, all other dues tobe regulated by the county branches.ARTICLE IV?ORGANIZATION AND FEES.'
Section 1. All charters are issuedby the national branch.
Section 2. Five persons in one lo-cality must first receive certificates ofmembership from the National Treas-urer, after which a charter may be is-sued without further expense.
Section 3. When five sultordiualebranches have been organized in onecounty they may organize a county
branch, and on application to the Na-tional Treasurer and a fee of twodollars may receive a charter for thesame.
Section 4. When county brancheshave been organized in three of the
counties in a State, they may organizea State branch and receive a charterfrom the national branch without any
fee.Section 5. The lees for the first five
certificates in a subordinate branchshall go into the treasury of thecounty branch when formed. All
other fees remain in the subordinatebranch.
The national branch of the Farmers'league, says the Farm and Fireside,has been organized and is ready to co-operate with farmers in every part ofthe Union in the work of local organi-zation. The officers are George T.Powell, Ghent, N. Y., President; Wal-ter P. White, Putnam, Conn., Treas-urer, and Herbert Myrick, Springfield,Mass., Secretary.
Reader, if you wish to start a localor subordinate branch in your neigh-borhood, get five farmers to join to-gether, and send their names and feesto the National Secretary, and applyfor a charter.
The constitution and plan of organ-
ization are so plain and simple thatno explanation seems necessary, but
any particulars desired can be ob-tained by application, with a stamp,from the Secretary.
This organization is a political butnot a partisan one. It is not a rivalor opponent of other agricultural or-
ganizations. Its work is specificallypolitical, and it supplements theothers. It furnishes a simple way bywhich farmers may obtain what theyhave been loudly demanding, just andfair legislation. But it is not a ma-chine that will run itself. What itaccomplishes willdepend on the unitedefforts of the individual members.1 pon them rests the responsibility forsuccess or failure.

Hawley's Estimates.
Senator Hawley's statement of whatthe Republicans intend to spend in1891, the St. Louis Republic says, isparticularly rank.
lie admits that they will probablyappropriate 1455,000,000 exclusive ofthe direct tax for French spoliationclaims, new ironclads and increasedpensions, aggregating $61,000,000 forthe year. He estimates the totalrevenues for the year at $459,000,000>and confesses that a deficiency of from$5,000,000 to $72,009,000, is probable.
Mr. Hawley does not explain hisestimates of $450,000,000 as the reve-nue of 1891, and some curiosity may
naturally be felt on that point whichit is to be hoped he will take early oc-casion to gratify. The total ordinaryreceipts from all sources for the fiscalyear 1889 were $387,050,000. Theactual and estimated receipts for thefiscal year 1890 arc given by SecretaryWindom in his annual report at $385,-000,000 anil lie estimates the ordinaryreceipts for 1891 at the same figure,which Mr. Hawley estimates exceeds l»v$65,000,000.
If the present Congress increasestariff taxation so as to increase therevenue thus far above that expectedby the Secretary of the Treasury atthe present rate of taxation and thereis still a deficiency instead of a sur-plus, it willlie as widely remarked asit will lie remarkable.
Our Republican friends are cuttinga wide swath. Between March 4thand June 30th last year they increasedordinary expenses $32,000,000 withoutthe aid of their party majority in Con-gress. The " total net ordinary ex-cuses, including interest," were, un-der the Cleveland Administration,$242,000,000 in 1885; $267,000,000 in1888. It requires some strain 011 theimagination to believe that expensescan he raised from $267,000,000 to$450,000,000 in three years, hut Sena-tor Hawley, as a Republican ef largestanding, is doubtless a capable judgeof his party's possibilities.
There seems to he 110 way of stop-ping tliem at present. The Demo-crats arc tied under the Blocks of Fiverules, and the " Watch Dogs of theTreasury" are no longer allowed tomake " dilatory motions" when a stealis impending. It is an interestingsituation.
A Party Drunk With Power.
Philatlclpbia Record,
History is repeating itself. In theForty-first, Forty-second and Forty-third Congresses the Republican ma-joritiesshamfully violated every princi-ple of representation in ejecting hon-estly elected members from theirseats. In some instances Republicancontestants who were overwhelmedwith defeat at the ballot-box were ad-mitted under the most frivolous pre-texts. One contestant from SouthCarolina, who received only a handfulof votes was admitted on the groundthat the Democratic member had nothad his disabilities removed. But allthese fraudulent devices for retainingpolitical power, so far from proving ofany avail, only int< Hi tied popularwrath and indignation. In 1874 theRepublicans succeeded in electingless than two-fifths of the Forty-fourthCongress. Some of their greatest
strongholds Pennsylvania, New York,Massachusetts and elsewhere werecaptured by the Democrats. Sincethat lime the Republicans have twiceonly secured precarious majorities inthe House. But untaught by the les-sons of e.\|ieriencc, their leaders inCongress have rushed into repetitionof the worst partisan iniquties of thepast. Not only have tbey overthrownthe most sacred parliamentary prece-dents, but they have not scrupled toviolate all the rules of evidence andthe demands of fair play in ejectingDemocratic Representatives from theirseats. The admission of Featherstonto the seat of Cate, from the First dis-trict of Arkansas, was as flagrant anoutrage upon the rights of representa-tion as ever was prostrated in thehistory of free government. It is evi-dent that the Republican leaders inCongress are preparing their backs foranother castigation like that adminis-tered to them in 1874. All the signsof the times indicate that tlicy willnot be disappointed. If the people ofthis country proverbially have shortmemories, it is a fortunate dispensa-tion that the politicians forget quite asreadily.
SUSAN B. Anthony's latest hobby isa temperance or prohibition temple to
lie erected in Washington to the mem-ory of Mrs. Hayes. It is to havebusts, bas-reliefs, statues, fountainsand hydrants. The affair will cost$50,000. Thus far the faithful havegot together $517.25 toward it.
A MEETING of the Snake River FruitGrowers' Association estimates thatthere willbe 400 tons of peaches forshipment this season. The prospectsnever were more favorable.
"Hew to the Line, Let the Chips Fall Where They May."
OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1890.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Regular < orre-pondence of tlie standard.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 11,1890.Kx-Speaker Carlisle has prepared
the minority report 011 the McKinlcytaritl bill, and it is a very strong andfull statement of the position of theDemocratic party on the tariff. It liasabout been decided that the Demo-crats of the House will not prepare atariff bill of their own, hut will oilersuch amendments to the McKinlcybill as there may seem a probability ofpassing with the aid of Republicanvotes, provided that the Republicansmake a serious attempt to jiass theirhill which at ibis time seems some-what doubtful.
The Senate has just completed theabsurd farce hv passing the allegedhill against trusts which was reportedfrom the Judiciary committee lastweek as a substitute for the Shermanbill, which was itself a fraud as far asplacing any real restrictions upon theoperations of the trusts was concerned.Of course the people know better thanto expect any relief from a Senatelargely composed of millionaires whohave made their money by trusts or
similar monopolies. The Senate istoo lar from the people to have a fel-low feeling for them.
The members of the House whosesalaries were carried oil'by Silcott are
happy. The Secretary of the Treasuryhaving decided not to appeal from thedecision of the <*ourt of Claims thatthe Government was responsible. Abill appropriating $75,000 to makegood the stolen money has passedboth House and Senate.
The Montana contested election caseis still being debated as " unfinishedbusiness" between times by the Sen-ate. The Republicans appear to heashamed to carry out their program,but liy the time boss Quay brings outhis whip tliey willobey hint as usual.
The Republicans of the House madea sly attempt this week to railroad a
modified pension hill, involving an es-timated expenditure of $30,000,000 ayear, through under a suspension ofthe rules, but fortunately for the tax-
payers of the country, the necessarytwo-thirds vote was not secured,
though they came very near it.Still another useless otfiee is pro-
posed. The Republicans, encouraged
by their success in getting Congress tocreate Assistant Secretaries of theNavy and War Departments, have in-troduced a bill for still another As-
sistant Secretary of the Navy at a sal-ary of $4,500 a year, and this to inface of the fact that one can hardlyturn around in Washington withoutcoming in contact with Naval officersdrawing salaries for doing nothing,who might just as well perform theduties of Assistant to the Secretary ofthe Navv.
The Republicans are now trying to
tickle the silver people by giving it outthat a special committee of the Senateis preparing a hill that is to he morefavorable to silver than any of themeasures now before Congress.
The lot of the Civil Service Com-mission is certainly not a happy one.An attempt is to lie made in the Houseto defeat itsappropriaton. This wouldlie a cruel way to kill the law, butmany people think it would be justifi-able.
Mr. Blaine's proposition to amendthe McKinley tariff bill so as to makeit inoperative in the cases of suchAmerican countries as willreciprocateis not enthusiastically received by theRepublicans in"Congress. They saythat the proper way to bring aboutfree trade, if it is desired with thosecountries, is to negotiate separate re-ciprocity treaties with each and sub-mit them to the Senate for ratification,
l'erhaps Mr. Blaine remembers thetreatment the Senate gave, not so longngo, to a reciprocity treaty with Mexi-co. Several reciprocating treaties arebelieved to have already been nego-tiated by Mr. Blaine with Central andSouth American countries.
The members of the Pan AmericanCongress leave here on the 18th inst.for a tour of the South. They will return Mav 10.
Early in the present AdministrationMr. Harrison apiiointed an Indiananegro to the responsible jiosition ofRecorder of the General Land Office.The other day a patent for a valuabletract of mineral land was prematurelyand illegally, if not fraudulently,issued by that office. Secretary Noblepublicly censured the negro recorder
and discharged a white clerk throughwhose hands the patent passed, butMr. Harrison's protege is still Record-er, and it is said that Secretary Nobledares not dismiss him. DEM.

A Diminutive Railroad Line.
One of the most wonderful railwayson the continent, if not in the world,is the small nine-mile branch whichconnects the towns of Bedford andBelleview, Miss. The distance is not soastonishing, except where the gaugeof ten inches is considered. In theshort distance traversed by this pigmyit crosses eleven streams, with bridgesfrom live to thirty-live feet in height.The rails weigh but twenty pounds tothe yard, about the sire of those usedin the mines of Missou i and Illinois.The cars and engines are constructedso as to be very near the ground, in-suring greater safety. The cars areprovided with single seats each side ofthe isle. The car itself weighs butfour tons, the weight of an ordinaryoar being from twenty-four to twenty-six tons. The engine without thetender weighs seven tons, and runswith two passenger or freight cars atthe rate of twenty miles an hour.
