COLONEL CHARLES II. LARRABEE.-
This gentleman arrived on the steamer
California, on Sunday evening last, and
proposes to become permanent citizen of
Olympia for the practice of his profession.
At present he may be found at the Office
Of Hon. Elwood Evans. In 1867 Mr..
Larrabee was City Attorney for Chicago;
in 1913 member of the Convention to
form Constitution for the State of Wis.
consin; the same year elected Circuit
Judge and Justice of the Supreme Court
served ten years on the bench in that
State, and on the call Of his constituents,
resigned that position to take scat in the
37th Congress; on the breaking out of the
war, he was the first man to volunteer and
was mustered in with first regiment rails
ed in the State under the first call of the
President; Immediately thereafter he was
commissioned as Major Of another regi-
mcnt, aud subsequently as Colonel of
regiment which nc commanded to near the
close Of the war when he was compelled by
i'll health to retire from the service; he
came to this coast in 1864, practiccd law
successfully in Portland for two years,
and then removed to Los Angeles, attracted
by the reports Of the beauty and salubrity
of that climate; from thence he has just
removed to this town, preferring OCCASION
al rains to perpetual sunshine. Colonel
Larrabee is man of great energy and
public spirit, and will be valuable acqui-
sition to oar town and Territory.

There IL matter which we wish some cfour

Ter itory would take an interest in and that is
an effort TO ge; mail route to Neeah Bay, as
il is certainly entitled to mail once or twice
in a month, ms there are Government Light
House and Indian Reservation here, besideS
the settlers in this vicinity. As it is, we are
sometimes six weeks or two months without a
mail. Try and do something for us, ifpossibe.
JANUARY, 18th.
Since writing the above, the pilot boat has
returned all safe. after rough trip. The Lin
coin sails TO-DAY for Port Townsend. There is
great excitement among the Indians about
some eighteen of their number who were caught
out in the same storm. They believe that
their friends have been driven out to. sea and
lost, consequently there is great bowling and
yelling about the Reservation.
There was about six inches of snow fell last
night, but it is going of very fast to-day.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

If the reports contained in our noon
dispatches. published in this issue, be true,
Col. McCook has shown himself to be q
man of gounder discretion than we had
given him credit for being. There is very
little in the prospect to cheer him. Certain
defeat awaits him in the end, and then
there is no certainty that he will have even
the sympathy of his Democratic friends III
the voyage up Salt river. We are not sur
prised at his determination.
The Democratic Executive Committee
withdrew McCook's appointments several
days ago, alleging as reason for doing so
that he was in i'll health. We judge that
the real reason is, in the Language OF the
Washington Chronicle, he 4" has soured on
the hands Of the party in the heat OF the
contest" and they have now eot rid Of
him as a "bad egg"
The fact must begin to be patent TO every
observer, hat the new departure is source
of weakness TO the party in Ohio. 1t has
served to dist act and divide instead Q.
uniting them. The reason is, that it is
thing too transparent. a man with onl.
limited powers of vision must see that 1t l.
a stroke of policy on the part of men who
make principle a secondary consideration.
But, if the new departure should provethe
downfall of the Democratic party, it will
then have proved beneficial to the country,

WE have heard of some men attempting
to break the force of Col. Bakers charges
against the Nashville papers, by saying
that, in overcharging to the amount of
$50, 900, as is charged, they had only done
what has been customary heretofore. This
is fiimsy excuse, and one which will not
satisfy honest people. If they were not
entitled by law to receive the $50, 900 which
Col, Baxter says they have received, but
were only entitled to $4,000, as he says,
they have wronged the people out of that
much, and they should be held responsible
in the same way that any other man would
be, who took $4,000 that was not his own.
We know not what answer they will make
we look with some anxiety to what they
have to say-but they can never satisfy
honest men that they intended to pursue
strictly honest course, when they were
paying two hundred and five hundred dol
lars to certain parties to keep their mouths
closed and remain outside of the "ring."
If the next Legislature has the courage,
capacity and honesty to investigate this
matter, we will know just who are in the
ring" and who has received pay to ac-
quiesce in its operations.

WE can hardly recur to the recent West
field explosion at New York, and the ter
rible loss of life that followed it, without a
shudder. One hundred human beings,
without moments warning, were ushered
into eternity, and scores of others manned
for life. All this, the result of carelessness
and ignorance. Men trusted with the i'm
portant position of managing vessels,
which carry thousands of human beings
to and fro every day, have, through negli-
gence, connived at this wholesale murder.
We are glad to see the authorities dis
posed to put check upon these things.
Already the President, Superintendent and
engineer of the Ferry Company, which
owned the Westfield, have been arrested,
and there seems to be disposition to deal
out to them even-handed justice. This,
and this only, will assure public safety.

FIGURES FOR DEMOCRATS.

Men who have paid attention to such
matters, are satisfied that, under President
Grants administration, the public debt has
decreased very rapidly, but few men, per
haps, have a just appreciation of what has
been and is being done. When we take
into consideration that, since his inaugu-
ration, at every tick of the clock, 1922 Of
the national debt has been paid, We realize
something of the rapidity with which this
heavy burden is melting away. Every
time the second hand of your clock has
made a revolution, $500 of the incubus
has been taken off, We think a reference
to these figures will astonish even the
Democratic editors. While one of them
sits at his desk and pens an editorial,
defaming the President, charging him
with corruption, extravaganza, and
every sin which his brain can
invent, suppose it takes him one
half hour to write it, while he is thus en-
gagged the debt has been decreased So, 7o6.
While a Democratic editor steps into the
nearest bar room and devotee five minutes
to his accustomed cocktail, 1868 has been
taken off, and as very few of them drink
less than three cocktails per day upon an
average, allowing them to consume five
minutes for each drink, the President since
his Inauguration, has paid more than two
millions and halt of the national debt
while they were INDUCING in cocktails,
and proposing tOasts, perhaps, to the
Democratic party.

PROGRESS OF THE coLoRED PEOPLE.

History affords no parallel where a peo-
pie have made such rapid progress in
everything that pertains to civilization, as
the colored people of the South since the
war. AS they emerged from the bonds of
slavery, they seemed to at once appreciate
the situation, and went to work to inn
prove whatever advantages were afforded
hem for obtaining education and wealth.
The st. Augustine Examiner pays the fol-
owing high compliment to the colored
people of Florida: g .a....-
Our eolored citizens are showing an example
which the colored population throughout the
State would do well to follow st. Augustine
has the most orderly and most illustrious class
of people of any city in the United States and
there is one taait of character for which they
deserve particular credit, that is the care they
take in bringing up their children. They take
great pride in sending them to school and to
divine worship on Sundays and Holy-days of
obligation. Again, they do not allow their
children to run about the streets at night,
which is the very best step parent can take
who wishes child, when grown to manhood,
to be good and useful citizen A good moth
er can exercise no holier calling than to guide
the footsteps of her children in the paths of
