a MOckary OF JuseIce--NO Hanging for
ahe Rtehs.The Poor OnIy SUKeG.
NEW YoRK, Oct. 30-Stokes' sentence slioits
much comment here of a varied character. The
Herald Tidicules it as a mockery OF justice. aud
says hanging is played out in New York for the
rich. but not for the blsticksrs day laboreTS,
conductors and other poor men. 1t ridioules the
weak, impotent prosecution for the people. The
Times, Tribune and World also unite In regarding
il as lame, impotent conclusion and = failure
Of Justice Stokes received his sentence last Aight
with the utmost comp0sure. At frat his head was
bowed down, but he raised 1t as the Judge went
on addressing him, and at the close showed no
trace Of feeling Mr. Tremaine, in conversation
after the sentence expressed his entire satisfaction
with the result, which he considered great vic
tory.
It has been ascertainsd that on the first ballot
10y the Stokes jury, only vote was cast for con-
viction of murder in the first degree.
The third trial of Stokes, the scoundrel who
murdered Fisk, is over. It was concluded last
night at half past IL o'clock, the Court room being
crowded until midnight, and the utmost excite
ment prevailing. Stokes was declared by the
Jury only guilty Of manslaughter 10 the third de.
gree, and was sentenced to
FOUR YEARS HARD LABOR.
Thus ends one of the greatest farces of the year
Every honest man must tsel outraged at the YER
DICT and a hundred such verdicts could not con-
3ince any one In their right mind that Stokes was
not guilty OF numbering Fisk.

The IMPENDING CoNFLICT.-All over
the Northwestern and the Pacific States
where immense grants have been con-
cedcd by the General Government, os-
tensibly for the purpose of aiding works
of public improvement, all old party
divisions have been merged in the issues
growing out of the powers thus created,
which in almost every instance been
used to subsidize legislation, dominate
the people and aggregate all power in
the hands of few. The pending cleo
ton in California is to be determined
upon this issue between popular rights
and special privileges. In one of those
grand out-bursts of eloquent protest and
political philosophy which are only
called forth by circumstances of impend-
ing peril to popular liberty. Governor
Booth depicts in vivid colors the dan
gers to bs apprehended--some of which
have already been realizea-from these
monster monopolies and special privi-
leges; but in hopeful view of the stu
alton, he as clearly points out the RENE
dies yet reserved to tho people. He
says:
"In the presence of new dangers
party ties are relaxed. Where they
bind together it is rather from social
affiliation than the power of political
allegiance. From force of habit and
ersonal association, we look to our old
political leaders and comrades for guild
ance and counsel; but pass along the
street, take the men as you meet them,
listen to their frank avowals, and you
will find that the old party discipline,
which was won't to marshal its hosts
like contending armies, is destroyed.
Gather together representative lntelll-
gent assemblage like this, composed of
Republicans and Democrats, poll it, and
you will find that on tho living questions
of the hour, where there arc differences
of opinion. men no longer differ as
Democrats and Republicans, but as men
of independent convictions; and those
who prefer to remain with old organi-
cations simply feel that for the present
there is no where else to go, and hope
to accomplish new purposes with old
forms. This is not local but gener-
al truth, and there is general feeling
that warfare should cease whose mo-
tive and meaning have gone"
Thus recognizing and accepting the
situation upon this broad basis, is more
than half the battle. When the many
arc united they are mightier than the
few. 1t is only by party divisions and
through party discipline and caucus
management that the few have domina-
ted the many and put in jeopardy the
peoples rights and liberties to that de-
gree that nothing now will save them
but united and vigorous resistance. The
people of Washington Territory learned
the lesson of the dangers of railroad
monopolies through the insolence Of
their assumptions early in their career.
and are = unit in resisting their aggres-
SiOns.

Sound and San Francisco, which will be
of incalculable advantage to all the
towns on the Sound. none more than
Seattle. Now we have no steam COM
munication with San Francisco except
by the way o. Portland or Victoria, and
furnish nearly or quite one-half of the
passenger transportation by beth of
those routes. We have seen forty pas
sengers at a time landed at Portland,
destined for the Sound, when by reg
ular steamer they could be landed at
Seattle or Olympia at the same expense
and a days time and not less than $12
expense thereby. Beside, travel and
commerce would be greatly increased
by facilities of regular and direct com
munication.
AS we have before remarked, all the
towns and residents upon Puget Sound
have now a common intel est and COM
munity of sentiment. What benefits
one benefits all. We of Seattle have
an interest in this Olympia project, and
every town upon Puget Sound has an
interest in the success of the Seattle
and Walla Walla railroad, which will
open up trade in which all share, and
all are now disposed to make common
cause for these common int erests, which
can be achieved not only without, but

Every one has heard of Cooke, the
voyager, and the son of sea cook is
familiar to every one. There have been
Cooks from time immemorial, and they
have all rendered their names more or
less illustrious, but it was reserved for
Sydney Cook to wear the Eeenest
laurels. The taste he displayed in fit
ting up the Peabody Billiard Hall was
marvellous, and as soon as those hand
some, beveled tables we're once tried
they became popular with the players,
and Cooks fame aud fortune we're at
once assured. He offers a philOsOphic

and old, and to such as choose to come
he extends the hand Of welcome.
