THAT RAILROAD QUESTION.

The Democracy Of King County
have very sensibly declared them.
selves opposed to that portion of
the Democratic Territorial platform
referring to the unqualified exten-
sion of time for completing the n.
P. railroad. This, we conceive to be
one of the main issues of the pres
ent political contest; and, notwith
standing their loyalty TO party or
gauization and party leaders, the
King County Democrats are deter
mined to take firm stand for their
rights as citizens of this Territory.
Friends of the n. P. R. R. Co., in
one breath tell us that their corpora
tion is rolling in wealth and is the
only company able to build a road
across the mountains, and in the
next they urge that it is weak and
utterly unable to build the proposed
road if restrictions and specifications
be entered in the agreement. They
claim for it perfect ability to comply
with the requirements of the Mitch
ell bill, yet are opposed to any
measures offering simple protection
to settlers. They claim that it makes
little difference to the people of this
Territory whether railroad connects
with the Sound at Seattle or at Ia
coma; all Of which is very true, but
they might have added that it DOES
make a difference when such a ques
,on involves the possibility, on the
one hand, Of getting the road COM
pleted within a reasonable length of
time, and strong probability, on
the other hand, OF being compelled
to await the pleasure of company
whose pecuniary interests are better
served by delay than by haste.
The fact of the whole matter may
be summed up in the statement that
the people have lost confidence in
the N. P. Co. Repeated promises
and repeated failures have begotten
distrust; and no party lines, howev.
er closely drawn, can prevent the
sovereigns of our soil from striking
for their rights. 1t now remains to
be seen whether Tom. Cation will be
able to persuade his Democratic
friends of the Territory that he is
their true friend, or whether he will
maintain the radical stand taken at
the outset of the campaign in favor
Of monopoly.

DIED.


Deceased was born in Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, April If, 1880.
Coming to Port Townsend in 1868,
and residing here continuously from
that time until his death, he very
naturally identified himself with the
affairs Of Jefferson County, and of
this city in particular. As will be
seen, he had attained the highest or
32d degree Of Masonry, was a mem
ber Of the order of Odd Fellows,
and man who stood second to none
in the esteem of his fellows. Not
given to much speaking, he devoted
the best years of his life to quietly
building up a name, by deeds that
will live until the form that we as.
sociate with them in memory's cas-.
ket, shall have long since returned
to its original dust.
BY request, the funeral ceremon.
les were conducted under the aus
pices Of Port Townsend Lodge, No.

and usefulness; his history in connection
with the early settlement Of this town
his whole-souled hospitality-his restora-
tion to prosperity of the shattered finances
of Jefferson County-are familiar to all.
and we take pleasure in testifying to his
sterling qualities. A man OF remarkable
energy and unquestioned integrity, he
leaves record behind which, for fidelity
in all that pertains to good works, is wor-
thy of emulation.
RESOLVED, That the afflicted widow
and sou have our heartfelt sympathy.
RESOLVED, That copy of these reso-
lutions be entered in the records of Port

Washington. Dec. 0.-The Joint commis-

Secretary Schu,z to-day. He uisclaimed
any personal desire to retain control of the
Indian service under interior depa, tmsnt.
No branch Of the departments business is 80

the Indians entitled to humane treatment.

to promote. The secretary quoted from the
report of the Sioux commission, signed by
Generals Sherman, Terry, Augur and 9th.
ers. setting forth, in effect, that if peace with
the Indians was required, the management
Of their affairs should be placed under the
civil department OF the government. Now,

There arc great many officers Of the army
who have excellent ideas about Indian af.

to use it.
