He was as black negro as ever was
painted by proficient artist in lampblack,
and was terribly indignant because some
other darkies had invited him to join a

And he tramped on about his business
jingling his nickels in his pocket.

Bow PROHIBITION WoRKs.-The Bos-
ton Shipping List OF January Sd, in the
Trade Review of the past year, says:
"TLe liquor trade has been carried
on under unfavorable circumstances the
past year. Our Wholesale houses have
L ot been directly interfered with by the
operation of the Prohibitory law. but
the distribution of liquors in several
sections of the State has been restricted
and dealers generally have carried very
small stocks in order to avoid heavy
losses by seizures. The main effect of
the law has been to lessen the sale of
fine goods and increase the demand for
low grade domestic Liquors. and altho'
the quantity handled by our Wholesale
houses has been about as much as in
former years, the amount of money
made is considerably less. Another
disagreeablo feature of the law is, that
it makes debts contracted for liquors
illegal, SO that the seller has no protec-
ton except the honor of the buyer. To
the credit of the latter, very few of them
have repudiated their bills, but sellers
are compelled to be very cautious. ard
are otherwise hampered in their opera
tions. So far as decreasing Intemper-
ance. the Prohibitory law has proved to
be decided failure, and the sense of
the business community is strongly
against it. The new Legislature will
no doubt modify or repeal it, and give
the State an acceptable law in its stead.
With the removal of the annoying re-
strain that have been on the business
for some years past the fine goods will
be more sought after, and the trade gen.
orally will be placed on satisfactory
footing"

APPOINTMENT OF JUDGEs.--It is with
profound satisfaction that We have to
chronicle the appointment. by the Pres.
ident, of Hon. j. r. Lewis. Chief JUS
tice, and Hon. S. q. Wingard, Judge Of
the Z. S. Court of Washington Terrific
ry. The policy of the present Admin
istration towards this Territory, Of ap-
pointing resident citizens Of the same to
Federal offices, has the most hearty ap-
proval of a large majority OF our citl
zens, as was eyinced by the unprecedent-
ed majority given to Judge Jacobs. the
Administration candidate for Congress
at the last election. We see no sense or
reason in maintaining party opposl-
ton to an Administration which more
than any of its predecessors, of either
party. has respected the rights and dig
nifty of our people by conferring it's on
cial honors upon our most popular and
trusted citizens.

Mr.. WINGARD AND THE NORTHERN PA
c1F1c RA1LEoAD.-The very small clique
of local politicians represented by the
Olympia newspapers. have evinced theil
malice towards Mr.. Wingard in every
manner within their limited capacity,
for reasons heretofore stated. With all,
the only specific charge they make
against him is. that he was appointed
through the influence of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company; and this we
know is without the least shadow OF
foundation in truth. MIR. Wingard new
er had any connection, business or pro-
fessional engagements with that Con
pany. Judge Dennison, Mr.. Strive
and Mr.. Frank Clark have been profess
sionally employed by the Company; Mr..
Wingard, never. Not that his employ
ment by the Company ought 20 initiate
in any degree against his personal char
ter, or his integrity as a judge. but we
mention the fact that this charge is ut
terly groundless. because it was q mali
cious invention, designed to associate
his name with Company suffering un-
der popular odium. Among the mems
bers of the bal, and before the intelli
gent portion of the community, no pro-
fessional man stands in be tier repute.
