Loss OF THE STEAMSHIP "JApAN. -
Late dispatches announce the loss OF
Pacific Mail Steamship Japan, on he,
return trip from Hong Kong. When
about 40 miles from Swallow, the vessel
was discovered to be on fire, and the
flames soon gathered so much Roadway,
that all hopes of saving the vessel were
abandoned and the passengers and
crew were transferred to the boats, q
portion of whom reached Swallow.
The remainder have not yet been heard
from, and fears are entertained of O
fearful loss of life.

CENTENNIAL TEA PARTY.-An exchange

CENTENNIAL TEA PARTY.-An exchange
gives the following account OF the Cen
tennial Tea Party" held in commemora-
ton of the destruction of tea in Boston
Harbor, on the 10th instant, in the
Rotunda of the National Capitol, under
the auspices of the " Women's Centen-
NAL Executive Committee" of Washing
ton City: The decoration of the Ro-
tunda on that occasion was in charge Of
the most skillful artist of his profession
in America, under the supervision of
the Architect of the Capital and the
Commissioner of public Buildings and
Grounds. These decorations consisted
of appropriate emblems, the flags of all
nations, various streamers, coats OF arms
of the different States and Territories,
flowers and historical emblems. There
were thirteen tables. representing, in
all, the thirteen original States, the
new States and Territories being repre-
scented only by decorations. The men,
bers of the Executive Committee ap-
peared in the Lady Washington cos
tune, with the cap, the muslin kerchief,
the apron, the silk dress with elbow
sleeves, and black lace mitts. Miss
Reisley Seward, Chairman of the
Committee, represented at her table
the States of New York and Cali
fornia. The tea-cups used on the
memorable festival were designed es-
pecially for that service and will be
sold as memorials of the occasion and
of the historical event which is thus
commemorated. They were decorated
with appropriate Revolutionary devices
and maxims, and were not to be dupli-
Gated. Under these interesting histori-
cal auspices doubtless the scene under
the brilliant dome of the National Capt.
tol was one of unparalleled grandeur in
the social annals of the Common
wealth.

Sc As publishers will be compelled
to prepay postage on all papers ad-
dressed to their subscribers after Janu-
airy 1st, it is but fair that delinquents
should pay up old scores and subscribe
for q year in advance. We seldom
"dun" through the newspaper, and
wouldn't do so now, but in abiding to
the new requirements of the postal law,
it seemed so appropriate we could not
resist the impulse to indite gentle in
timation of what we believe to be the
proper thing in this connection.

the Territory at the recent election.
The figures do Olympia a manifest in
justice, as not more than seventy per
cent. of our citizens appeared at the

widespread dissatisfaction which ex-
listed, in consequence of bungling work
of the Territorial Conventions, as we'll

barn, removed the door, which he had
broken from the hinges, and leaned it
against the side of the house. AS he
turned to step away it fell striking him
on the head and shoulders and dislo-
eating joint in his spinal column. It
is thought he will recover.

TIMBER ON INDIAN REsERvAT1oNs.-Are re-
cent decision of the U. S. Supreme Court
indicates that trouble may ensue from the
policy pursued on some of the Indian
Reservations of selling timber cut on
Government land included within the
boundaries reserved for that exclusive
use. The Dispatch calls attention to
the case recently decided which came
up from the reservation of the Oneida
Indians, near Green Bay, in Wisconsin,
where one or two Indians had disposed
of a quantity of pine logs. The Indian
Agent, on behalf of the tribe, brought a
suit for replevin to recover the loss, on
the ground that the lands and the tim
Der thereon belonged to the Indians in
their tribal relations. It was decided
that no more timber can be sold by the
Indians. The pine hereafter sold must
be disposed of under authority of q
special act of Congress, and the pro-
ceeds turned into the United States
Treasury. The decision is said to af-
fact several agencies in this Territory,
more especially the Tulalip agency,
which has heretofore derived consid-
cradle revenue from the sale of timber
on the reservation, and has now suit
pending, brought by the by the Agent
to recover pay for timber sold to log
gers, which this decision, of couse.

WEATHER PROSPECTS EAST OF THE

says that gentleman just down from
Colville brings the information that snow
had fallen to depth of six or eight
inches before he left, but that stock
was doing we'll. In the Snake river
region the green grass is four or five
inches long, and the stock is thriving
finely on it. On Snake river tits a rare
thing to feed cattle, and the indica-
tons now are, that the will be able to
come out fat in the Spring without
being fed mouthful. The same may
be said of other localities in this valley
and neighborhood.

ANOTHER STEP BACKwARDS.-Thep pub
Usher of the Daily Courier announces
its probable suspension at the close Of

tributable to the want of patronage,
during q prolonged season of stagna-
ton in business. As citizen, inter-
ested in the prosperity of this COM
munity, esincerely regret the prospec-
tive loss of one of the best advertisers
of our town abroad and convenience
to the public in all avenues of business.
Our people have never yet been obliged
to support a newspaper by voluntary
contributions-and we hope they never
will be-ort they would better appreciate
the position of q community without
these auxilaries to growth and prosper
ity. The easy-going times incident to a
liberal share of public patronage may
not last forever, and if once lost the
affection will be doubly bitter to a COM
munity which has never been Injured

THE CHIEF JUSTIOESHIP."

LUG IOuFteF, uuueA ehiS eAs1S, p"~
fishes some very pertinent remarks in
reference to the appointment of sue
cessor to Judge Jacobs, whose office
becomes vacant by resignation on the
LIST prox. Our people feel more di-
rect interest in the selection of pure
men for the judiciary than in the APP
pointment of any other officers under
the Government. A fair and impartial
administration of justice can be secured
only by the appointment of jurists OF
acknowledged ability and integrity,
those who can pass the good old Jack
sonian test of fitness for official posi-
ton. While the opponents of the
dominant party possess but little infiu-
ence in determining the choice of rul-
ers, they feel quite as positive an inter-
est in matter affecting their cherished
rights, as those who shape and control
the political course of the government.
1t is not from political standpoint,
therefore, that we approve of the Cou-
rier's article upon this important sub
ject, but to add our protest to the
leading Republican journal of the Ter
ritory against the appointment of Mr..
Wingard whose name has been promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the Office of Chief Justice of the Terri
tory. The Courier says that the peo-
pie "do not want q man, who aside
from all other faults, lives and moves
in small circle Of politicians and who
would ascend the bench imbued with
prejudices, dislikes and personal hostil-
tiles that utterly disqualify him for
such an honorable position" That
this is really true estimate of public
sentiment is apparent from the fact that
a jealous personal advocate of Mr..
Wingard announced, early in the last
canvass that an effort would be made
for his appointment in the event Of
Judge Jacobs election as Delegate,
when the tide of opposition became so
strong that nothing but the most posi-
tive assurances that such course was
not contemplated, and would not re-
ceive the sanction of the party, enabled
their candidate to recover the ground
which was lost by the untimely sug-
gestion.
We trust that prudent counsels will
prevail in the selection. of the new
Judge. There are many citizens of the
Territory who possess the necessary
qualifications and who command the
respect Of the people. Let the choice
fall upon one of these and large ma
jority of the people of our Territory who
were driven to the support of Judge
Jacobs as matter of expediency, will APP
prove of the course. Far better would
it suit them for full-fedged carpet
Dagger to assume the ermine, than one
who owes his present appointment to
the influence of powerful corporation,
whose interests must clash with those
of the people, and who, whether Justly
or not, is believed to be subject to its
influence and control.
