SSnohonish Correspondence.

SNoHoM1sH C1TY, October 2Sth 1875
/ am sorry to be compelled to write
that the sheer boom at the mouth of
Ebey Slough has failed to save all the
logs that this freshet has brought down
from above. The anchor, mentioned in
previous correspondence. weighing
some 3, 200 pounds. brought from Port
Gamble and placed at the head of the
slough, was dragged out of place and,
as a consequence. several hundred
thousands feet of lumber have gone
dom the main river and probably q
large part of them have gone to sea, a
total loss to the owners. The boom,
however. will be readjusted, and this
much needed improvement will be
maintained.
The river continues very high. The
fall of rain during the late storm was
very heavy. On the ruight of the 26th
the wind for couple of hours was very
heavy. Forest trees falling sounded
like repeated discharges of artillery.
The telegraph lines are reported down.
The Fanny Lake has Just reached the
wharf. She had large freight and pas
senger list.
The loss of logs by the breaking of
the sheer boom at Ebey Slough is less
than at first estimated. From five to
eight hundred thousand feet will cover
it. The loss is divided among several.
The boom is tc be Immediately repaired.

LYNCH LAw.-Last week, in Ohio, o
number Of farmers, infuriated at the
murder of young girl in the woods,
broke open Jail, took out of it the man
accused of the murder. and hanged him.
The poor creature had been accused by
his wife. He solemnly denied in his
last moments having committed the
crime, and asserted that his wife
charged him because she was insanely
jealous of him. Now it turns out that
the man was innocent. Unfortunately
he is dead. Unfortunately the men,
who in violation of law hanged him,
are all murderers who ought to be
hanged in their turn. Unfortunately
they will have the unpleasant conscious
ness for the rest of their lives that they
are murderers- not a very comfortable
thought for most of them, probably. II
is scarcely necessary to pursue the
thought further. Lynch law is always
wrong; but this is not all, nine times
out of ten the men who take the law
into their own hands hang the wrong
man.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 27.--Last evening
most terrible fire broke out in Virginia
City, Nevada, which destroyed every
house of Importance in that place. 1t
Is estimated that by this calamity at least
ten thousand people are rendered home
less and destitute. Good judges estimate
losses by the fire at from three to four
million dollars. The works Of the Con-
solidated Virginia mine and part of the
Ophir mine were destroyed by the fire.
Relief fo- the helpless is pouring in
from every quarter.
SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. 2S--A disp ,tch
from Virginia City says matters are
much more cheerful. Woman are doing
noble work in relieving the distressed,
while number of men who lost every
thing arc engaged in clearing away the
debris from their grounds and are Begin
ing to erect as good or better buildings
than they occupied before the fire.
Prisoners held for various petty offenses
by the city were released ;and those con-
fined for more serious crimes were re-
moved to Carson City for safe keeping.
Boots, shoes, clothing and many other
necessaries have also been forwarded by
Wells Fargo & Co., and the Western
Union Telegraph Company afford
means of communication, both acting
free of charge.
SAN FRANCIsCo, Oct. .29.- The Ci.r0nicle
this morning publishes a report of an
interview at Virginia City with Col. Fair
of tie firm of Fair, Flood & O'Brien,
and the Superintendent of the Consoli-
dated Virginia mine. He said: "We will
have machinery of our own again in as
brief space of time as possible per-
haps in two weeks" Flood, upon be-
ing interviewed, said IN substance, that
the report that no ore would be .hoisted
from the mine until next Spring, was
all bosh. He could not state positively
when the works would be replaced, but
at as early a day as possible. Superin-
tendant Curtis, OF the Ophir, gives as
surance of speedy resumption of work
1t is stated that there is no danger of
interruption from water in either of the
mines.

OF a most persistent English criminal:
In 1866 man named Richard Hamp-

He was sent to prison for nine months,
and on the very day of his discharge re-

gave him eighteen months. and once
more, on the day his sentence expired,
he returned and again broke the same
window. His third sentence. was for

50 much the better for us oil The
gold will stay at home then. rather
than go abroad. The National banks
afford the people two advantages at
least. They keep at home the coin
interest on our bonds, which we owe
and can not redeem, and which must
be paid to somebody. and give US a
currency which has never failed.
They have paid over $j7,000,OOO in
taxes to the Government, and never a
dollar has any citizen lost. In the
panics of 1887 and 1857 everybody
lost money by broken banks. Who
has lost a dollar since 1865 or 1862

Merchants, workingmen and farmers
have saved enough in this way to more

never yet have caused them a dollar

The Press and Herald is anxious TO
know what we consider the best

We regard the Cincinnati CONNER

the Dayton Journal as the specimens
of the "best current political litera-
turo" of the State. In point of abili-
ty, they are far in advance of the
Allen Rag Money" organs. The
six papers first mentioned have q
larger circulation in that State than
all the Allen organs in the State COM

We hope this is satisfactory to our
anxious neighbor. Besides their

The Prospect of the Defeat of the De
nn0Cracy,

If the private conversations of the
Democratic leaders in this town were
reported for one day, after the manner
of the Put-in-Bay example (Which was
highly improper, as well as both anu
sing and instructive), they would car
ry dismay through the ranks of the
party in this State.
We may, as preliminary to some re-
marks that we propose to offer on the
Hamilton County situation, mention
the substance OF three utterances of
the character described, that were
made during the sixteen hours hard
labor over the beer-tables that consti-
tuted the politicians days work for
yesterday.
One able-bodied citizen, seeing the
cartoon of the Archbishop in the Chair
of State of Ohio, with the Governors
legs sticking out and ST. Geghan on
the wall with his BILL" said, with
oaths too frequent for quotation,
"There, that paper does us more harm
than all the rest. Nothing hurts like
that. That paper is circulated all over
the country, and it plays -, l tell
you" The irritated citizen concluded
by bestowing blessing upon Thomas
Mast.
AOlueT DenlOCTdIi uOteu as u leader,
was assured by a friend that things
were looking black. The reply was
g Well, so it seems; bu. we must put
on bold front whether we feel like
it or not. Make 'em believe we are
sure of going through anyhow. Never
say beat until the vote is counted out
against you" The conversation con-
tinuing, the leader was again told that
appearances were that the State would
be swept by Republicans, and he re-
sponded that Ohio always was Re-
publican State anyhow Ia formula Of
consolation that is being prepared
against the evil day, ald under the
circumstances he did not care much if
his party was beaten. A thorough

They have had big scene in
Georgia over what was feared would
prove a general uprising of the colored
population. We trust it may pass off
without further disturbance.
The Courier-Journui says 1.-THE Re-
publican press is altogether silent As to
the Illinois Kuklux." But why should
the Republican press be silent? At
the last election, Williamson county,
where the trouble has been, with "A
vote of only 1902, gave a majority OF
702 against the Republican ticket Put

Colonel VIM NJ. Bradford, of

in the Sd Chancery Division to succeed
Hon. d. NJ. Key. Colonel Bradford is
a good lawyer, of several years expert
ence and will, no doubt, make good
Chancellor. Like his predecessor, he
was in the Confederate army during
the war. Since the war he has en-
gagged in the practice Of his profession
and has not taken a very active part
in politics. AS the Governor was ex-
pected to appoint some one from that
wing of his party, we do not know that
ne could have done better than to APP
point Colonel Bradford.

THE COURIER.JOURNAL ON JUDGE
THURMAN.
Not Exactly ~ Dead cock Tn the Pc"

Not Exactly ~ Dead Cock I'm the PIT"
Commenting on the interview be-
tween Theodore Cook and Judge
Thurman at Put-in-Bay, the Louis
Vile Courier-JOurndL says:
No one has ever doubted Judge
Thurman's claim to the reputation of
an educated lawyer of good mental
parts and to the character of an hon
est gentleman. He has an old-fash-
toned, judicial, whist-playing cast of
mind, and has shown himself ill-suited
to encounter the draw-poker jinks of
his Cincinnati adversaries. He looks
like an Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court. Outside the Senate he
is still Senator. His locks are gray,
his stomach is ample, his movements,
bodily and intellectual, are conserva-
tive. He is not being of crosses, but
thoroughbred to the bone. He never
wore paper collar in his life; on the
contrary, his swallow-tailed coat has
the easy fit of familiarity with good
society. 1t may be fairly doubted
whether his favorite beverage is not
cognac. In one word Judge Thurman
is gentleman, an old Virginia gen.
lleuhu, BeHlleludu vi Tue OIlBlDdl
Jeems river school, high-toned, cold
nOsed, with watch fob and silver
headed cane He came to the front
during period of extreme droutb.
He has remained there by the pressure
of an excess of responsibility.
Judge Thurman is not exactly a
dead cock in the pitt But if this re-
ported Interview is not denied he will
be the next thing to "a dead cock in
the pit" His observations about the
Catholics, if he made them, were I'M
warranted, and, in politics, the sin
against the Holy Ghost is to doubt the
success of 1.-THE ticket" The people,
as a class, do not like sulking. They
like shady truth no better. They like
to have a man come upon the stand
and say his say like a man. In the
event that Allen Is elected Thurman
will be worse off than he would have
been had he taken the bull by the
horns and given his enemies a twist
in the open field. In the event that
Allen is defeated Thurman has still
discredited himself as sufficient lead
er with the better elements of political
society. He complains of harsh treat
ment all-hands-round; but his treat.
ment has been proportioned to his Of
Tense. He has pleased nobody.

From the Ags.l
THE FAIR AGAIN.

We again call the attention of all
concerned to the Eastern Division
Fair which comes off on the 9Th, 9th,
9TH, 9Th and 9th of October next. Els.
pecially would we call attention to the
fact that the Changers are mainly re.
sponsible for its success, as they agreed
to undertake it and put it through.
We earnestly hope for their honor and
the credit Of the order they will take
hold vigorously and see to it that it is
made a success. They can do it, if
they will. The whole country is look

pected at their hands. We have a
strong organization in almost every
county, and if only one-half or even
one.third would 90 to work and work

to get ready for the fair. There is no

now about five weeks to 90 upon, which
will soon be upon us. The grounds

Short Hints Concerning Sickness.
Don't whisper in the sick-room.

Don't whisper in the sick-room.
When the doctor comes TO see you, re-
member how many pairs of stairs he has to
climb every day, and go down to him ifyou
are well enough
When you are sitting up at night with
patient, be sure to have something to eat,
if you wish to save yourself unnecessary
exhaustion.
Remember that sick people are not nee
essarily idiotic or imbecile, and that it is
not always wise to try to persuade them
that their suiterings are imaginary. They
may even at times know best what they
need.
Never deceive a dying person unless by
the Doctors express orders. 1t is not only
wrong to allow any soul to go in TO eternity
without preparation, but how can you tell
but that he has something he ought to tell
or do before he goes away?
If you have sick friend to whom you
| wish to be of use, do not content yourself
with sending her flowers and jelly, but lend
her one of your pictures TO hang in place
of hers, or bronze to replace the one at
which she is so tired of staring.
Don't have needless conversations with
| the doctor outside of the sick-room. Moth
| ing will excite and irritate nervous pa
| tent sooner. If you do have such con-
doctor said nothing" He won't believe
you, and he will imagine the worst posi-
| bic.
In lifting the sick, do not take them by
the shoulders and drag them up on the pill
lows, but get some one to help you. Let
one stand on one side of the patient. the
other opposite then join hands under the
shoulders and hips, and lift steadily and
promptly together. This method is easy
for those who lift, and does not disturb the
one who is lifted.
Do not imagine that your duty is over
when you have nursed your patient through
his illness, and he is about the house, or per-
haps going out again. Strength does not
come back in moment and the days
when little things worry and little efforts
exhaust, when the cares of business begin
to press, but the feeble brain and hand re-
fuse to think and execute, are the most try
ing TO the sick one, and then comes the
need for your tenderest care, your most un-
obtrusive watchfulness. Home and Soei-
ETY." Scribner for September.

SHALL WE HAVE A NATIONAL
OR A STATE CURRENCY?

We trust our Democratic cotempo-
raries in Tennessee, who are now
clamoring against National banks,
and who few years ago were denoun-
cling the Legal Tender act as unconsti.
tutional, will have the frankness to
come square out, like men, and tell
what they favor now. We know that
their record can be construed into
nothing short of favoring a revival OF
the old State and Wild Cat banks,
which formed q part of our heritage
before the war. If this is what they
want now let them come out and say
so. If they favor a currency that will
not be received beyond the limits OF
a specified boundary, we must say
that we do not.
We believe that the business inter.
ests of the country will be more sue.
cessful with a uniform currency, with
fixed uniform value all over the
country, than with a currency that
will not be received, except at q dis
count, outside of the State in which il
is issued.
This is a question in which every
one is interested, and people have q
right to expect the newspapers to
come out on it. AS the matter now
stands, we infer that these Demo
cratic journals favor the abolition OF
all national currency and return tc
the old State Bank system. In fact
this will be more in keeping with the
tenets of States Rights Democracy
than a national currency. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Beck, a few
days ago, said that the word nation
was contemplate" If the word is
so contemplate" he must feel some
contempt" for the National Bank
notes he carries in his pocket and
would feel much easier if they were
"The Bank of the State Of Ken
lucky"
