A New Proposition.

We think that if the Government
would devote less attention to subsi-
dizing mammoth railroad corporations
and the almost indiscriminate squau-
dering Of the public domain in railroad
land grants upon enterprises of doubt-
full expeiiency. snd little more to the
development of local industries in our
Territories by literally aiding the estab>
lishment of post roads and turppikes,
as it formerly did in the eastern states,
the country would be greatly benefited.
In Western Washington, for instance,
where the country is so densely cov>
cred with forest timber that locomotion
is chiefly confined to the navigation of
rivers, bays and lnlets, the Government
ought to give liberal donation land to
the Territory for the purpose of open
ing higways or wagon roads through
every county. Every one can readily
appreciate and comprehend the utility
of such an appropriation of the public
domain, as it would not only benefit
the people already located but offer
such inducements TO others to settle on
the public land that the government
would eventually be reimbursed in the
increased sale of lands that at present
are hopelessly locked up by intervening
forests. See what vast benefit TO
Whatcom. Snohomish and many other
counties it would be to have a good
wagon road traverse the whole length
of the county-say within three or four
miles of the waters edge. Such q one
would serve as a grand trund road with
which settlers on each side could easily
connect on every section line and thus
readily transport to market the product
of their labor. The necessity of such
practical aid is SO apparent that it is a
source of surprise to US that no organ
lied effort has heretofore been made by
the Legislature or other body in this
Territory to impress its Importance or
the Government. We suggest. in view
of the failure of the Legislature. to the
press of Puget Sound. if not of the Ter
ritory at large, to take up the PROPOSE.
ton and give it their general approval
so as to enable our Delegate in Con-
gress to advocate its adoption by tht
Government. There is one thing GER
tain and that is if We do not petition
the general Government for such aid il
will not be forthcoming-B. B. Mdi.

1t is very evident from the
San Francisco dispatchs, which
speak IN anything but compli-
mentary terms of Kearney, that
the capitalists are beginning to
pack the labor meetings with
roughs" and toughs" for
the purpose of breaking them up.
From the simple fact that man
like Charly Duane attended one
and had words with Kearney we
see the entire game. Duane is
no laboring man, and has never
been known to do anything of a
legitimate character in San Fran
cisco for % years. He was drlv-
en- from that city by the vigi-
lance committee, has killed sew
eral men, and when last occupi-
ed, was in business with the no.
torious Happy Jack" in get
ting young roughs to arm and
take possession of outside city
lots that were IN dispute. He is
a man that ward politicians 60
to and pay to pack conventions
with rowdies, for the purpose
Of breaking them up. This is
the man that Kearney, the la
borers' champion had the trouble
with. We do not know that
Kearney is always right, but it
is very apparent that the meet
ing at Scollay's building had
been packed by roughs with cap
italist's money, and we don't
wonder that he asked Duane
what business he had in a
workingman's meeting" Port

Why a Wedding was Postponed.

The guests at recent expect
ed marriage in a certain church
on the west side were treated to
a singular and startling sensa-
tion at the very moment when
the connubinl knot was to be
tied. The bride and groom were
a young couple, and had made
all the necessary preparations
for the anticipated happy event
that was to unite them as one,
and it was thought by the re-
spective friends of the pair that
the course of true love had run
quite smoothly with them, and
a genuine mutual affection exist
ed between them. The invited
company had entered the house
Of worship and the attendants
on the couple had taken their
places around the altar, while
the minister remained in wait
ing to perform the ceremony.
The bride, attired in all the gor-
geous finery customary on such
occasions, alighted from the car
riage and the groom stepped
blithely and lightly after her,
and upon her long trail. As he
did so the fair lady uttered a low
cry, and exclaimed sharply,"Oh,
dear, how awkward you are!'
The young mans face colored as
he stumbled off the rich gar
ment, and gave his arm to the
lady while laboring under a con-
fused mind. The pair walked
into the church and down the
broad aisle towards the altar.
All eyes rested upon their move
ments, and a murmur of voices
arose as they came in and took
their positions before the minis
ter. The ceremony proceeded; +;
the minister asked the bride if
she would accept the groom for
her welded husband and receiv-
ed the usual affirmative answer,
and was about to interrogate the
young man, when the latter i'm
pulsively and unexpectedly said
to the bride: "Oh, dear, how
awkward you are!' and quickly
turning on his heel walked out
of the edifice without another
word of explanation, leaving the
astonished bride standing at the
altar in mute bewllderment and
the ministers and guests IN blank
amazement. The young man
went his way IN carriage, and
toe disappointed bride and the
maids who sought to comfort
her, left the church for their
homes. The occurrence was an
actual one, and has created no
small amount of gossip in the vi
cinity wnere the church is situ-

A correspondent of the Idaho

A correspondent of the Idaho
Statesman, writing from the Ma
tional Park, on the Yellowstone,
under the date of September
18th, says: For the past three
days we have been reveling in
the wonders of this Plutonic re-
gion. On every side we have
had springs hot and cold, clear
and muddy; mountains of sui
|phur, geysers throwing water
two hundred and fifty feet high,
of all shapes, sizes and varia-
tions. Right here, within two
hundred yards, the thing varies
a little; for instead of water ooz
ing from mounds built up by the
sedimentary deposit Of ages,
they are tunnel-like caldrons
fifty feet from the surface
There is one that, looking down
into 1t, appears to be, and l think
is-a subterranean river. 1t is
as wide as the Boise river, and
the bubbling, seething noise it
kicks up is almost terrifying. 1t
is very muddy; and from the
Of the traces for five
hundred yards around, and the
wetness Of the surface, 1t must
occasionally spout to an immense
height. Not far away, at what
appears to be the entrance of a
cavern, is another boiling spring
like the other, rolling out waves
from a vast hole. 1t is scalding
hot, beautifully clear, but very
sulphurous. The rocks around
the entrance are covered with a
soft sediment of various dark,
brilliant colors, on which many
names are written. OF course

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times tells the follow
ing:
Senator Ferry is pions man. He
is an elder in the Presbyterian
Church. As far as I can see. and I
watch him pretty closely, he is
bound for the kingdom. OF all old
bachelors he is the most irreproach-
able. He feels very deeply the dig
nifty of Senator, and maintains it
on all occasions. He is polite,
courteous and cold as ice. No one
ever saw hirs do a natural or improp-
er thing. Every act is studied, and
prim and solemn. Yesterday the
Senator sat at breakfast, glancing,
as even deacons and Senators will,
over his paper at the women. He
was taking the fiftieth stolen glance
at a pretty, golden haired little
saint from Georgia, when Senator
David Davis, two tables away. starr
tied the dining room by roaring in
his lusty sailor voice to Mr.. Ferry,
" I want to see you before you 60 to
the,races, Ferry. Afraid l can't go.
If its possible for me to get through
my work, 1 shall he happy to accept
your invitation" The saint turned
her big, blue, reproachful orbs on
Ferry. The women all looked at
him and whispered. The model
Senator blushed scarlet, stroked his
beard nervously, and smiled in a
feeble way at the jolly giant who
sat chdckling his fat sides and bend
ing his late Judicial head over the
thimbleful of cruel Banting allows
him. His looks told that he had got
even with Ferry at last. The tables
are turned. Ferry owes him one.
He was a wild Texan, just
from the frontier, and had board
ed the train at Fort Worth for
Dallas. 1t was his first ride on
the kers," and as the conduc-
tor reached in his hip pocket for
his punch, the sharp eye of the
Texan caught a glimpse of the
polished handle, and, quick as
thought, he leveled a "navy
six" on that conductor, saying:
"Put 'er up, or I'll blow daylight

Brophy that Captain Plummer has
lately made an important develop
ment in the mines of the company at
Mineral Hill under his snperintend-

developed which assays about $500 rer
ton. The extent of the bonanza II not
vet known, though il has already been
ascertained that il has a vertical depth
OF something near twenty feet. The
people of Mineral Hill are much en-
couraged by this strike, everybody
feeling sanguine that the flush times
Of the early days Of the camp are to
return. Captain Plumn,er is a splen-
did miner and business manager, and
he is prosecuting the work of develop
ment intelligently and systematically.
