True anen for Important POsi-
GIOns.

The Democracy have reason to feel
proud of the ability represented on their
judicial ticket. Mr.. Cation, late efficient
representative of Walla.Walla county in
the Legislative Assembly, is too old
resident and too well known to require
any encomiums from us. The sameis
true OF that sturdy vetran in the cause of
right, Hon. Columbia Lancaster In the
Third District, however, our candidate.
is not so well known. Mr.. w. II. White,
while be is the peer of his associates just
named in ability as we'll as integrity of !,
character, has not been resident Of the
Territory long enough to form that ex-
tended acquaintanceship possessed by
them, and brief review of the prominent
incidents al bis life is required at thls
time. Mr. White was born in Brooke
county, Virginia, in 1912. In 1859. he
commenced an academic course at Ver-
million Institute, Ashland county. Ohio.
In 1862, he enlisted as private soldier
in Company B, lO2d Ohio Volunteer In-
tantry, and served in this regiment until
the close of the war. This regiment was
one of the celebrated Twentieth Army
Corps, doc Hooker's), and participated
in the campaign from the Ohio river to-
the capture OF Atlanty, and also in all tho
operations against Hood in the memora-
bic Nashville campaign. In September,
1864, Mr.. White while in command OF
his company as First Sergeant, in an
engagement with General Forests troops,
at Athens, Alabama, was severely wound.
ed and captured by the enemy. He re-
mained IN their hands about two weeks,
when he was recaptured. In May, 1865,
at Huntsville, Alabama, Mr. White, on
account of his wound, was mustered out
of the service In 1865, he cast his first
Democratic vote for General George II.
Morgan for Governor of Ohio, and since
that time has been an ardent Democrat.
Previous to this, however, he was Il Re.
publican and had voted for John BDugl'
aud Abraham Lincoln. In 1867, he re-
turned to mis- native State, and finished
his professional studies. In 1STl, no
first came to Washington Territory and
located at Seattle. He rcmnined there
about two years, and them returned 10
the East. In 1874, he returned, and is.
now permanently located at Seattle As
lawyer Mr. White stands Mt the head
of his profession, and as an orator he
ranks second to none in the Territory.
These qualifications are essential for II
proper discharge Of the duties of public
prosecutor, and there is not shadow OF
doubt but that they will mec: with
recognition at the polls.
And we can add.as a speaker on the
stump, Mr.. White is ready and full Of
point. As an attorney he is courteous

arms for the citizens, bnt received a re-

The Side-WaY Clutch.

The weather here has had some effect
on the side-way clutch. Do you know
what that is? You must have had it in
st. Louis. All New York women have
it bad. It's the universal fashion OF
wearing the right hand as far in the rear
81 practicable, with fist full of petticoat
In It. Out of hundred ladies passing
at any hour the corner of Fourteenth
street and Broadway will stake my best
bonnet ninety-nine of them sail along
with their dress-skirts walloped together
in bunch, and raised at just such an
angle by frozen claw in kid. About
the first of the pull time an item
went the rounds of the papers giving di-
rections for this sort of thing. The lady
was to lean back and sideways, take as
much of her skirt AS she conveniently
could, and straighten up. This was the
prescribed way of walking, and it has
been adopted with unanimity perfectly
laughable. During cold snap it would
be q comfortable idea to take an extra
sleeve. stuff glove, and sew some dress
skirt between the fingers. This inven-
ton hung at the side will allow woman
to put both hands in her muff and still
be fashionable. But, good mercy, what
won't a woman suffer to be fashionables

A Detroit Hero.

The city of Detroit has genuine hero.
The party referred to is a young man
named John Horn, and his heroism con-
sists in his bravery in rescuing people
from drowning. In this line he has quite
equaled the famous adventure of Charles
Reade's John Lambert, of Scotland, who
has attracted SO great admiration through
the pen of his novelist friend. John
Horn, of Detroit, has for many years
lived by the waters edge, on the wharves
of his town, assisting his father in
small tavern. His skill as swimmer
and his bravery in springing to the res
cue of persons unfortunate enough to
fall into the water, are worthy of the
highest praise. When accidents occur
at the wharves and any one is in danger
of drowning, young Horn is always called
upon for assistance. And what has he
done in this way2 Very much. He has
saved over one hundred human lives.
Such record is found in few lands, and,
following the English idea of rewarding
such valor with medals and pensions,
the Hon. Moses w. Field, of the House
of Representatives, who knows young
Horn and has seen his operations In
saving life some half dozen times, has
brought the case before Congress. In o
modest letter to Mr.. Field, the water
hero speaks of score or more of people
with whom he has struggled in the
waves, and who have been saved by his
efforts, giving the names of all, the dates
of the accidents, and the circumstances
attending. The exposures incident to
Mr.. Horns career Of mercy, have, in his
case. as in that of the Scotch Lambert's,
resulted in serious injury to his consti
tuition, but he still watches the waters
edge, and expects to save many more
humans from death. His claims to ma
tional recognition are so well based that
there will probably be no difficulty in
securing him q medal of honor.

Mrs. Tilton Repulses Her Daughters,

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes: Mrs. TilGon
spent sad New Year. Her husband
returned, few days before, from his
successful Western tour, and found that
his daughters, Florence and Alice, had
not called upon their mother. Florence,
the elder, now dignifed and self-reliant
young woman, was quite disinclined to
do SO, but Mr.. Tilton, it is said, urged
that her mother would miss the calls and
attentions she had been accustomed to
receive, and the daughters at last started
off in carriage, with two bouquets for
their mother, Arrived at the door, they
sent up their names, bouquets, and an
affectionate note, with the salutations OF
the New Year, and asked to be admitted.
The servant quickly brought back the
bouquets and the note unopened, with
the message that Mrs. Tilton did not
wish to see them or receive anything at
their hands"

Probability Of European Outbreak.

AS to the probability of general out
break, says London letter in the New
York Tribune, the week has contributed
little or no fresh information. Some
importance may be attached to the re-
mark of Gen. Ignatieff that there would
be no hostilities for year to come
since nothing is less likely than a general
European confagration at the beginning
of the winter. This remark, there is
reason to believe, was really made. Its
value depends on the mood the Russian
ambassador was in at the time. He is
capable lin imitation of Prince Bismarck
of hurting out truths; and also ca
pabIe of blurting out falsehood she wishes
taken for truths. OF late it has suited
him to be frank; as when he told the
coming bankruptcy of Turkey to incred-
ulous ears.

Suddenly the mark I had made upon
the murderer flashed across me, and
brought it forward as proof With con-
siderable difficulty the coroner allowed
Sturm's neck to be barred but amid loud
murmurs, and TO my horror, no mark
was to be found. Had it been removed9
I felt certain it had not. It had only
been covered up, and exposure to the
sunlight would bring it out. I deter
mined that Sturm's neck should be
turned to the winter sun, then shining
through the windows, explaining as well
as I could how it was the mark had not

After much objection that was done,
and then, amid scene of indescribable
excitement, the sun gradually acted upon
the salt of silver, and by degrees the
place blackened, till slowly and surely
the mark came out; and there was the
accusing cross, silent witness to the
truth of my story, and sure condemna-
| ton of him who would fain have been a
double murderer.

solicitor angrily, while Sturm stood
stunned and puzzled, and people leant
eagerly forward to catch a glimpse Of
the mysterious mark.
"No," said the coroner, "it is no
trick. That cross is the handwriting of
Providence"
Open that box on your right, and you
