TOBACCO CULTURE.

M II NJ. Swafford has shown US
some fine samples of Tobacco plants
grown upon the farm Of Amos Hurst
on the Snohomish, Of which stalks are
about three and a half feet high, and
the leaves are very broad and thrifty,
we'll favored and of good degree
of strength. We have long heard the
Snohomish article of tobacco we'll
spoken Of. aud are inclined TO think
that this might become as much Of q
speciality in the Snohomish - hops
have become in the Puyallup. The
great secret of success in the tobacco
business is said to consist in proper dry
ing aud curing. which requires some
what more elaborate outfit aud careful
process than the curing Of hops. Mr..
Hurst has about an acre in cultivation
on his plance. A farmer from
tho Yakima recently told Us that he had
triee the experiment of tobacco
culture in that valley last year with
most gratifying success and pro-
poses engaging in the bust
ness more largely next year. Another
gentleman. whom we met the other day
stated that he had come to this country
FROM Missouri for the express purpose
ofraising tobacco, provided the country
would suit, and has since taken up a
piece of land for the purpose Of giving
ii trial on the west side Of the Sound.
Tobacco growing has been extensively
tried in California. in the neighborhood
of Gilroy. in particular, but with ;ndif-
fereut results The climate. it is said,
is not well adapted to it. being too dry.
shriveIing the leaf Our own climate is
more nearly like that of Virginia and
Missouri. where il forms ono of the
leading industries. and If the enter
prise were taken hold of with sufficient
capital, to provide good curing facilities,
1T might prove big thing" The to-
bacco trade represents great deal OF
money and If successfully started would
prove an important addition TO the in
dustry Of the Territory.

THE POLITICAL CANVASS

The campaign lines for the contest
to be decided next November are be.
ginning to be fairly drawn and issues
joined. The Republican Convention
for the nomination of delegates meets
n. kalama on tho 10Th Of this month,
and that of tho Democrats ON the day
after ut Vancouver
The issues Of the canvass in this Ter
ritory will be rather personal than POI
litical, that is. as regards the public
questions that divide the eni'ranchised
part of the nation. who have voice in
the general government. The main is
sues in in our local campaigns will be
on the question of improvements and
material progress. though We are not
aware that there is any party. or any
individual of public note. who would
venture openly tn declare himself in the
opposition on this question. The candi.
dates who are most squarely pronounced
in favor OF roads, immigration, econo-
my in civil administration. and who in
the public estimation are best qualified
and best disposed to further those inter-
es,s. will. in our humble opinion, most
surely carry the election.
The pnhlic wants for its servants men
who are heart and soul interested in the
measures that are needed TO foster aud
establish ITS prosperity. aud with whom
all selfish considerations are second 10

able to the rascals who compose that
board, why will not Its elected officers
also be counted out? Or, does Mr..
Leonard invite us to take our places IN
party which will be entirely accept
able to Kellogg, Anderson, Wells ~ Co.?
But Mr.. Leonard should have consid-
erred the fact that there have been some
changes in the situation since the last
achievement of the Returning Board
before he threatens the Democratic
party with its power. The decision OF
the Supreme Court in the Enforcement
Act: the exposure OF the rottenness OF
the Administration the revolution In
public opinion against carpet-baggery
and it's infamies, have brought about
q situation in which the Returning
Board dare not again venture to disfran-
chise the whole State.
Upon the whole, the people must look
with grave suspicion upon the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Leonard, at this time especial
| ". to dissolve the Demooratio-Conserva-
tive party and organize q new one. All
the signs OF tho times Indicate the over
throw of the Republican party; never
before have the people OF Louisiana
been SO harmonious as now: never be
/ tore have the conditions been SO favor
able for tho redemption OF the State
And yet, just at this crisis of our affairs,
we arc asked to lay down our arms,
surrender our banners and abandon the
State to q sort of mongrel party. with
out followers. without a record and with
out principles. The hardihood OF the
proposition is astounding. Wise men
are startled; suspicious men ask it 1T Is
treason.
whether Mr.. Leonard is sincere or
not in his views, he must now retire
from the field. As for our part we be-
ieve he has been sincere and, IL so, he
Is pardonable. though he has lost his au-
thority to teach or to lead. When
the fortunes of England were at a. very
low ebb and her armies and navies had
everywhere been beaten, British
squadron came upon French fleet, near
the coast. i'm severe gale. Notwith-
standing the tempest. Hawke. the com
mander Of the squadron. determined
mt all hazards to engage the French fleet.
The pilot told him the attack could not
be made without the greatest danger.
"You have done your duty in remon-
stratipg." answered Hawke, Il will
answer for the rest" The result was a
complete victory. If Mr. Leonard s
warning to the people was sincere, then
he has done his duty in uttering his re-
monstrance. The Democratic-Conserv
ative party will answer for the rest, and
it will save Louisiana.

Our special correspondent in st. Louis
writes in relation to the mild sentence
passed upon the whisky thief, Mckee,
editor OF the st. Louis Globe Democrat
shat Judge Dillon. in pronouncing It, said
he was thus lenient because the convict
had shown q long life OF usefulness.
Judge Dillon's idea OF a useful life is
rather singular one. Mckee's useful
ness has been in publishing a news
paper. tho chief profits OF which were
derived from black mailing Government
thieves. or in participating in their swag,
snd in villifying and lying upon Il 9
Southern people. MoKee's usefulness
has been Of the character Of that Of Jack

oiety has been that Of man whose

Gate any ring or interest which could
pay its price.
