THE NEW ENGLISH PURCHASE.

The cable announced a few days
since, that England had purchased
the harbor of Goa; afterwards it was
announced it was Delagoa Bay, ON
the southeast side of Africa, which
commands the channel Of Mozam-
bique. This report was denied and
from the great distance of Delogoa
Bay from England's operations in
the East, we surmise the first dis
patch to be correct. The purchase
money was 100000.
What and where is Goa! Goa is the
capital of Portuguese India, and sit
uated on the river MADEIRA, $50
miles south Of Bombay. Goa is rich
in historical associations. and was
once by far the best built and wealth.
lest of any of the European SETTLE
ments, but its streets are deserted,
its magnificent buildings crumbled to
ruins. its commerce gone, it's
wealthiest inhabitan}s forced to
gain a livelihood by the manufacture
of lace and muslin, and it's former
greatness as much a thing of the
past as the boosted commerce of
Tyre, the wealth of Sidon, or the glory
of Carthage; yet here is the grave Of
st. Francis Xavier, the founder of
the Jesuits-here the immortal
CameOns sung and suffered. Goa,
golden Goa! here the aged Du Cana
closed his life, and in its harbor died
broken hearted. Gen. Albuquerque,
the Portuguese Mars, surnamed the
Great, whom theljealousy Of Applino Z
courtiers. after long life devoted to
his country's glory, prosecuted to his
grave in q far off land. Here the fires
OF the cruel Inquisition burned with
most remorseless hate, nor were they
quenched till early in the present
century by British interference.
In the sixteenth century the Jesuits
established here their Holy Tribunal
the home government became un.
settled; the Mahratta power rose rap
idly: pestilence soon broke out, and
the downfall of Goa ensued. Then
the inhabitants moved five miles
nearer the sea, where New Goa was
built. 1t is now city of about 10000
population, and in 1900 was q city Of
churches. The Archbishop resides.
here and perfect army of priests.
The province Of Goa is one of the
three settled by the Portuguese in
India; the other two being Din and
Damawn. 1t was captured from
Tabaim, Hindoo Rajah, in 1905;
taken by the native prince-bnt in
1910 recaptured by Gen. Albuquer.
que. 1t has remained in Portuguese
hands ever since, except from 1907 to
1915, when it was held by the Brit.
ish. The population consists Of two
thirds Roman Catholics. the offspring
Of the native women with the Portu-
guese invaders. The country is well
watered and fertile. but not consid.
cred healthy for Europeans. The
products are pepper, cocoanuts, rice,
betclnuts and salt. The province has
a population Of half million. Eng.
lands object in purchasing the harbor
will appear as mysterious as her pur-
chase Of Cyprus; although the
threatening conduct Of the Afghanis-
tans is undoubtedly the cause, as in
the event Of troubles she will need
harbors for the maintenance of her
feet. and in the purchase Of that Of
Goa, she has selected the finest one
on the Indian coast.

GRAnD LODGE, |. 0. OF G. T.


On "Wednesday and Thursday of
last week the Grand Lodge of Good
Templars, of Washington Territory
and b. c., held its ninth annual ses.
sion, in Seattle. The session was one
of the most harmonious ever held in
/ the Jurisdiction; and, although it
was completed within forty-eight
hours, a large amount of business
was transacted-perhaps more of a
Legislative character than ever took
place at any former session. AS will
be seen by the minutes, published on
our first page, Port Townsend has
been favored in the choice of two
of the Grand Lodge officers and also
lin being chosen as the place for hold.
ing the next session of the G.. L. A
change in the time of meeting has
been made, from September to June,
principally Y for the convenience Of
delegates coming from farming dis
tricts, their leisure being usually be.
tween seed time and harvest.
The principal on ward movements
made by the Good Templars as a
body have been in the direction of
obtaining legislation which favors
Temperance, in taking initiatory
steps toward the ultimate establish.
ment of a Temperance newspaper,
and favoring the organization of
Temperance party in politics. All
members Of the order were enioined
to increased watchfulness and zeal in
building up and extending its great
work; much interest was manifest in
the affairs of subordinate lodges, and
warm anticipations were expressed
of glorious years work just ahead.
AS will be noticed, the open-meeting
movemeht-of which our Port Town
send readers have had some oppor.
tunity Of judging-was heartily en-
dorsed, and its continuance decided
upon wherever practicable within the
jurisdiction. Besides all this, a new
feature of the order was introduced
by providing for the holding of dis
trict conventions, having for their
object the education of members iL
the work, and the good Of the order
generally.
We look upon most, if not all, Of
that which has been done as being
highly favorable to the best interests
of the cause Of Temperance. How
ever, although favoring politico-tem-
perance agitation, we do not deem it
for the best to establish a distinct
political party. Our reasons for this
may be set forth hereafter.

Mr.. Fields, of this town, who recently
escorted E. ID. Smith to McNeil's Island,
found Messrs. Clark and Rice destitute of
those little luxures common among men,
such as tobacco, &c. He Immediately set
to work upon his return, with subscrip-
ton paper, and soon secured several
pounds Of tobacco, few dollars in coin,
and some little articles Of clothing. We
understand he purposes shortly to get up
a petition to have Rice pardoned out.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK

As the time of the election draws
near, party lines are closer drawn
and party differences become more
apparent. Arguments, pro and con,
regarding the truth and Importance
of principles are often forgotten or
wholly lost in violent attacks on, or
fulsome eulogy of, individuals.
The Democrats have taken the
lead, placing their candidate for Del
egate in the field and their platform
of principles before the people.
Whether or not these will stand the
test of public scrutiny and party crit,
cism remains to be seen.
The Republicans will hold their
Territorial Convention October 9th;
and they are agitating the moment
Gus question-not of what Is-but OF
what or who is TO BE. "A number Of
candidates have been prominently
mentioned; and number Of local-
ties have claimed the preference for
their candidate. The probabilities
are that if the counties East of the
mountains come down united in their
support of one man from that district,
the Sound and River delegates will
heartily join in to make their selec.
tion the unanimous choice Of the con
vention.
OF the candidates East of the
mountains, Judge Wingard seems
now to have the most strength, and
he will command large vote on the
Sound. IF, however, dissensions oc
cur among our Republican friends of
Eastern Washington, and they divide
their forces among several candidates,
the field will be thrown open, and it
would be hard to say who will be the
choice of the convention.
Gov. Ferry has warm friends who
are pushing him forward; and Judge
Jacobs has served so well that many
demand that he continue to give the
Territory the benefit of his expert
ence. Either of these men would be
acceptable, not only to the party bu;
to the people, should they be elected
to the Office in question.
The River counties and the lower
Sound may claim the candidate, on
the ground that Seattle or Olympia
have always been favored with the
choice. Who the River counties
would name remains to be seen;
they have worthy and acceptable men.
We believe the choice of the Repub-
licans of the lower Sound would rest
with Col. L. H. Briggs, the efficient
and courteous Deputy Collector Of
Customs. His unquestioned ability,
and long acquaintance in the De
partments would make him certainly
not the least useful to the Territory
Of the candidates named for the po.
sition of Delegate.
That true Repu blican who, faith
ful to the interests of the Territory,
can best unite and strengthen the
party, is the one we hope will be
nominated and elected.
