Why, we could have informed him,
from our own observation and expert
ence, that there is not a hummer who
harangues the loungers about the cor
ner groceries of Port Townsend upon
the affairs of the nation. who has not .
more intelligent knowledge of the sub
iect Of his discourses than nine-tenths
of the college bred men of Boston, who
by system are educated to ignorance
and grow up in the belief that all knowl-
edge is embraced within the horizon
commanded by Cambridge and Bunker
Hill. When residing in western cty
of over seventy thousand inhabitants.
We spent some time in Boston and the
vicinity, the. guest of men who were
graduates of New England colleges, and
among the distinguished literati. The
questions most frequently asked Of us
were: " How can you live without soci'
ety?" "What do you do without
church priyileges?' Has our Church
a missionary near your placer" 81 Have
you any regular schools?' One man Of
a distinguished family. inquired OF US Il
we knew class mate Of his. who had
"gone west" to practice law. On fur
ther inquiry we learned that his friend
had settled in western New York, only
five hundred miles from Boston and
over thousand miles from our place OF
residence. The inquirer was greatly
astonished when We explained to him
the difference; he had never before
heard or imagined that the west" was
anything more than smsh settlement
of New England emigrants. The policy
of the country is now dictated by Bos-
ton ignorance, the West is the victim.

EASTERN IGNoRANCE.-Mr. Swan writes
from his old home in Boston, to the
Port Townsend argus: It is surprising
to see the amount of ignorance and in-
difference. among people here about Pu-
get Sound. They really know more aud
can talk more intelligently about the
Fiji Islands than Washington Territory.
Itwould take the conceit out of some
of those Port Townsend boys. whose
knowledge of the world is limited to the
horizon they can see from the top of
hill; and some of those old settlers too,
who in their faulty think Port Towns
end is the spot to which the fabled lever
can be applied to move the world. could
those people get away from that charm-
led place and see how little outsiders
know or care about Port Townsend, or
Puget Sound, or Washington Territory
aud how less than nothing do outsiders
care about those oracles who stand on
the street corners and sit around the
grocery stores and talk so blatant and
oracularly about the Government at
Washington and the mighty influence it
will have on the nation S politics wheth-
er Selucius Garfelde or Obadiah Me-
-Fadden represents us in Congress.
The surprise which our friend Swan
felt at the profound ignorance of the
people of Boston regarding our section
of the common country is but natural,
considering the many years he has been
away from there; but it is astonishing
that a man who has had such opportu-
mites for enlarging his own information
should SO readily fall back into the hab-
it Of his early education as to judge
everything on the outside from Boston
stand point; to conclude that the people
of Puget Sound ought to be greatly hu-
inflated at their own Ignorance and IN,
significance because the people OF hos-
ton do not KNOW arvtLinc about ;keai.

Tacoma as a Turnip.


A meeting was held at Tacoma June
13. 1874, Al. Edwards, Chairman, and
- Alexander, Secretary, for the pur-
pose of raising funds to assist in con-
structing wagon road to Yakama, by
the Nachess pass. sl ahgszsf.,l
The Town Company's representative
moved that a committee be appointed to
solicit subscriptions.
F An amendment was offered, that the
committee be instructed to levy and
collect one dollar upon each lot on the
:own plat. '' t'''','''''' s'i''''
The representative objected. saying:
"You cannot get blood out Of turnip;"
thus admitting the utter inability of the
land ring to pay the small assessment
of one dollar on each lot for work for
the benefit of the town.
Vow wish to express my opinion of
this town, based upon q residence here
of eight or nine months, and hearing
the expressions of the people who claim
to view matters in philosophical light.
This place has been greatly overated
through the false representations of cir
culars printed and scattered throughout
the United States, and the falsehoods of
the local press, the editor of which, as
you justly remarked: "Lies for the
land ring for Chinaman's s wages" Tho
that sheet does no great damage, as few
copies get out of sight of the place
where it is printed. The management
of the town has been selfish, narrow
and illiberal. No encouragement has
been extended to resident mechanics
and laborers. Their contracts are all
secretly let to non-residents, and they
send to Olympia. Kalama or some other
decaying town for mechanics in prefer
ence to their own, for the purpose of
increasing the population and creating
competition. to reduce wages to starv.
alton standard. They have built side
track railroad, running in on the hill,
for what purpose I know not. unless it
is for the purpose of driving out the
few teams which are kept here, as they
are now using the Railroad Company's
road. cars and engines for Transporting
brick and other material for private IL
dividuals of the ring-I mean the little
ring. s. all trtf
want to sell out. I would recon-
mend to those who want Tacoma prop
erty to buy of those who purchased
from the Company, and thereby make o
saving of one hundred per cent.

The telegram of the President to Gov. Davis.
of Texas, yesterday, declining to allow military
interference In behalf of Davis who holds that
the late gubeTnatOrial election was unconstitu-
tional, must meet with general approval. Had
Davis himself been elected no question as to
the legality of the election would probably have
been raised. Gov. Davis course is all the more
questionable from the fact that he approved
the law providing for the late election, seeming
to have no doubt as to its constitutiOnality.
The Interrogation of the President" Would it
Lot be prudent, as well as right, to yield to the
verdict Of the people as expressed by their bal
ots?"-is pertinent one, and il is to be hoped
that Gov. Davis will profit by the suggestion
when he proposes to resist the execution of a
law which he himself approved. The new
legislature meets for organization o-day, but a
dispatch from Texas states that Davis posi-
lively asserts that he will not recognize that
body. The republican members OF the last
legislature also meet to- day, so that there is a
prospect of a dual government. There is no
reason to suppose that the President will re-
consider his determination not to interfere in
the matter, and in this determination he will
doubtless be sustained by all parties. Should a
conflict occur, and the peace and good order of
the state be disturbed, interference by the fed
eral government might become necessary.

Mr.. Gushing and the Chinese Mission

The ChroBiele, in the zeal of its warfare
against Mr.. Cushing, quotes an observation Of
MI Benton on the subject of his mission to
China, which, 10 say the least OF it, is inaccu-
rate and unjust. II will be inferred from that
paragraph that his confirmation by the Senate
and its ratification of the treaty he negO-
tiated happened at the same time. But he
was confirmed on the 18th of June, 1914, and the
treaty was ratified on the 10th OF January
1915. Mr.. Benton also intimates that his con-
duct a. negotiator was disapproved, but in
what respect does not appear. To the contrary
of this he was earnestly requested by the gov
eminent to continue to hold the ONCE and TO
undertake at the same time to attempt to open
relations with Japan, which he declined to do,
partly because he did not wish to remain in
China, and partly because he was of opinion
that the desired object in Japan could only be
accomplished by a naval officer in command of
a competent naval force. He, therefore, VOL
unfairly resigned the mission to China, and, in
pursuance of his views, naval expedition was
eventually sent to Japan under the command
Of Commodore Perry.
