INCREASED MAIL SERVICE.


The "Intelligencsr," of the 18th
inst, in a vell.vritten editorial upon
thi. subject, sets forth the following
array Of facts and sensible argument;
Among the many requirements
which the people Of the lower
Sound Districts stand in much need
Of now is an increased mail service
On the Bellinghsm Bay route, at
least q semi.weekly mail should be
afforded by the Government, and a
daily mail from this city to Fort
Townsend and intermediate Offices.
II is not alone the largely increased
population OF those sections which
needs an increase Of mail facilities
TO this extent, but owing to our bust
ness relations with the people there
il is q necessity for US which should
no further be overlooked, and An &C.
commodation which neither the pso-
ple here nor there should longer be
deprived of.
The population Of the counties on
the Bellingham Bay route, which
now have a delivery of mail matter
once q week, is as follows: What
com, 1916; Island $50; Snoh omish,
1,OO6 and King county, 5649, max
ing q total Of 8,76l. A service once
q week to such number of inhabi'
tants, although mostly engaged in
agriculture in the first counties men.
toned, We consider guite-inadequate
and much below what is allotted to
q like number within the same dis
tance in any Of the States.
The Seattle and Port Townsend
route, which we claim should be fur
nished with q daily mail, supplies the
people of the following counties,
whose population is as follows: Kit
sap, 1866; Jefferson, 1,416; Clal-
lam, 4OS; San Juan, GA, and King
county. 5,649, making an aggregate
nearly 10000 of a resident popula-
tion, by whom a greater amount of
business of every description is tran
sacted than by all the balance of the
people in the Territory, these coun-
ties embracing a. they do the great
est mercantile interests and manu-
featuring industries within its limits.
And yet there is only semi-weekly
service of the mails for the accom-
mediation.
Although the Department at Wash
ington is tardy about matters of this
kind, and generally refuses service
upon route where it dosen't pay,
aud hesitates about increasing it un-
less the receipts from the respective
officers will equal the expenditures,
thatis, in the Territories,) we still
believe that if determined efforts
are used and the proper representa-
tions made by the people here for
such concessions from the Depart
nent, and they are strongly support
ed by our Delegate, there will be but
little delay had in obtaining them.
In fact, with our largely augmented
population and extended business re-
latious there should be no valid rea
son for disregarding our rights in the
and since Olympia has had
such facilities extended to her when
the population to be accommodated
there was not one-fourth that upon
this route, there would be an incon-
sistency in the Department refusing
this behalf. Therefore we would sug-
gest that this matter be at once at.
tended to by getting every man upon
the Sound to sign petitions for an in
creased service as stated, and that
they be forwarded to our Delegate at
as early day rs possible, and, our
word for il the effort will be attended
with success.

sARGEN RS HONE.

We have before US q copy Of the
Nevada Transcript. a bright little daily
Republican paper, giving the result of
the late election in Nevada county.
Nevada county has hitherto been Re-
publican by about 800. At the election
the other day some of the Democratic
candidates were elected by as high as
600 majority, and few Of them fell be-
low 800. The Transcript iashes the
Republicans numerically for their
treachery, and says hundreds of them
proved false to the grand old party. 1t
expresses its utter inability to account
for this remarkable revulsion of senti-
msnt and party fealiy on any o'her
ground than wholesale treschery. We
have an idea that two leading causes
operated as prominent factorsin bring
ing about this result: First, a desire TO
discontinue the rule of Senator Sargent
and the Federal brigade in California
who act with him; and second, the
widespread decentralization which has
overtaken the Republican party by
reason of the policy Of the present
National Administration. No matter
20 what extent the facts may
be disguised, it is nevertheless
true that a very considerable proper
ton of the Republican party would
moi care a fig ii all of the States voting
this fall should go Democratic; not
that they are any less Republicans
now than formerly, but simply as a
rebuke to President Hayes and to
show him that his policy is not APP
proved by his party. This spirit OF
lukewarmness is of the most dan
gerous elements that can possibly
threaten the existence of a great party.
General apathy o the one side in
spires the other with confidence and
renewed vigor, and the result must be
just what we have witnessed in Cali
fornia. Nor do revolutions often 20
back wards.
