The novelty about the elop

The novelty about the elopc-
ment of Alexander Babl:nk and
Miss Halliday, in Hyde Park,
Mass, was that the girl went IN
her night dress. Her father had
hidden most of her clothing on
her going to bed, but she climbed
down a ladder to her lover, who
took her to his home and dressed
her from his sisters wardrobe.
Then they rode to a clergyman's s
house and were married.

The Difference.

" II MI. Iliden nau Dcen let IN
by the Commission, Mr.. Hayes
would have been considered as q
hero and a martyr. AS it is, al
though he has an office which he
IS likely to retain, his position
must be cruelty painful" That
is unqaestionably true, but is far
from being just. it frequently
happens, that when two men ens
gage in u deadly eontlict, both
eQaally reprehensioIe and both
actuated by the same deadly
purpose, the victor is held up to
public eXecration as murderer,
and the vanquished has his mem
Dry honored and cherished as Il
martyr, suffering death in viudi-
cation of his honor. That is the
verdict Of men who suffer their
Judgment to be biased by per-
s0nal association Or party feel
ing; bat it is not in accordance
with the Divine principle Of law,
which is mind without passion.
Why should Mr.. Hayes he made
to suffer odium for accepting the
award of the highest tribunal
which ever sat in the land, insti-
tuteI by the joint action of both
political parties and assented to
BY every department Of the Gov
ernment? His title cannot be
impeaehed without impcaching
the Integrity OF Congress, the
Supreme Court and the late Pres
ilent, all Of whom We're guilty
OF gross wgoag ii IresideAt
Hayes is. The Democrats all
believed Mr.. Tilden was fairly
elected by majority OF the pop
ular vote in the States requisite
TO give lin the electoral vote
necessary to his election. The
Republicans as unanimously be-
lieve that the apparent popular
majority for Tilden IN several of
the Southern States was secured
by violence and intimidation. and
upon this ground the vote of
Florida and Louisiana was re-
versed by the regularly consti-
tuted authorities of those States
under the forms of law. There
was no existing power under the
Constitution to settle this con-
flict Of views, and to avoid con-
flict of arms the Commission
was instituted. That Commits
sion determined that no Federal
tribunal could invade State SOW
reignty; that the sovreign act
of the States, attested by the
Great Seal thereof, was final.
This decision was literally in
accordance with the most cher
ished and vital doctrine of the
Democratic party, and the Dem
ocrats are the last who should
complain of the recognition Of
the doctrine by the highest tri-
bunal in the land. 1t may be
proper for new converts to Dem
ocracy, like Dana and Blair, to
assail the title of the President.
but the old disciples Of Jefferson
ought to be ashamed to thus
stultify all their previous pro-
fessions. The Republicans are
estopped from objecting now to
what they all approved at the
time Of its consummatioH.

OREGON ELEcTIoN.-The fight
in Oregon wakes very warm !;
net SO much between the two
parties as between the Mitchell
and anti-Mltchell wings Of the
Republican party. Nearly all
the corporate powers, including
the \. 2. Railroad, the O. S. Il.
Co. and the Board Of Trade, to-
gether with the Oregonian, are
opposing Mitchell with deadly
hostility while biz friends have
carried all the PRIMARIES an
conventions in the State as fal
as heard from, and have con-
siderable support from the green

Free Speech.
A San Francisco commercial

IA sSssA AAuCASNV NOuulCI Vldl
paper says:
"Kmght, the co,npeer of Kear-
ney, was at Santa Barbara a few
days since, and announced his
intention Of making speech in
favor of the agrarian move
ments of Kearney. Why did he
not make that promised speech?
We answer that for the same
reason that kearney did not
visit that law-;. abiding and order
loving city, viz: Because they
both found out that the loyal
inhabitants of Santa Barbara
all honor to the beautiful city
would not sanction any such in
cendiary talk to be publicly ut
tered, and that it would be an
unhealthy location for any such
blatant speakers. So Knight
went to his hotel. paid his bill,
and left early in the morning"
There is no word in the Eng
lish language Of more question
able meaning or cne which has
been more abused in iustiiica-
tion of lawIessncss, than the
word "loyal..' In this country
of popular government-in name
at least-the only loyal citizen
is one who is law-abiling, faith
ful to the majesty OF the law,
our only sovereign. \ commu-
nifty in which it is unsafe to dis
cuss any measure of government
or matter OF public concern
ment, is neither loyal nor law
abiding, democratic, republican
or tolerant Of free discussion.
1t is a community under the
domination OF a mob spirit, the
most unrelenting and unreason-
ing tyrant which ever afflicted
human organization. No resort
to mob rule ever yet failed to
bear fruits which outllved the
causes or occasions which called
it into being. 1t is like the IA
bled planting OF dragons teeth,
each propagating its kind after
1.-The monster is slain; the loosing
upon society a brood Of evil
spirits which always return to
plague the inventors.
Can any one remember an in
stance where good came of meet
ing mob words with mob blows?
Words may provoke strife, but
do not make it. Many persons
now living can remember the
time when Abolition agitators
were mobbed IN almost every
section Of the country. The
"loyal' men Of that day thought
that such discussion was de. iii
mental to the public peace and
that 1t might result in civil war
or the dissolution Of the Union;
public sentiment was largely
against it, and the more thought
less believed it could be sup
pressed by lawless violence.
The proverb: "The blood Of the
martyrs is the seed of the
church," applies to all popular
movements. Persecution will
promote and make formidable a
cause which would die Of iner-
TIA if left to its own devices.
The laws of California pro-
vide for the legal dispersion of
riotous assemblages, and the
suppression of incendiary decla-
nation appealing to lawless vio-
lence as a remedy for social
wrongs, real or imaginary; and
to the enforcement Of these laws
the whole power of the State,
civil and military, is pledged.
When the advocates of Chinese
protection appeal to mob law to
suppress the public discussiorof
the question by the anti-coolie
agitators, how do they expect
the law to protect their clients
from the same violence, with the
great weight of public sentiment
against them? Free discussion
within the limits prescribed by
law. is 4 rlght guaranteed to

the statement OF . farmer living
in that valley as follows: =" He
informs us that he had farmed
FIVE seasons at Fairvlew and the
average yield Of grain on his
place has been is bushels to the
acre. Upon which the follow
ing comments are maze: " We
predict that BE Sioux valley
will, some day, not very far dis
tant either, be the boss gram
producing section OF the world.
and to add to this, are the un-
surpassed facilities for water
power and the excellent induce
ments for enterprising men to
locate permanently"
4 majority of the farms iut
ting upon, or contiguous to, Pa
get Sound, yield an average an
nual grain crop Of over so bush
els to the acre, and root crops
from 800 20 500 bushels to the
acre. Many Of these farmers
can ship their surplus crops from
then own landings, upon ocean
steamers and deep water vessels
for the markets Of the world.
The same paper above quoted
from, gives the market report
for Sioux City; rs follows;
Wheat. No. 1. SS@90t.
Corn-ear, pc; sAeliel, &c
Flour, s2.7503.75.
Butter, l2lc.
Eggs, rose in trade at tie
stores for strictly fresh from
farmers wagons.
Hay, $500.
The prices of the same char
acter OF articles III the Seattle
market at the presci.t time are
about as follows:
Wheat, Sl25.
Oats, 60c.
Corn-none in market; corn
meal, IS. per 1909.
Flour, ss@9.
Butter, 2595Oc.
Eggs, 4Oc.
Hay, s12@15.
Potatoes, $3.50 per bushel.
From these comparisons it will
be seen that our farms produce
from two to three times as much
IN quantity per acre, and COM
mand prices in about the same
proportion on equal quantities.
But the country bordering up
on Puget Sound is not the farm
ing section proper Of Washing
ton Territory; the numbering
and mining interests greatly
predominating here. Eastern
Washington is the great grain
growing region of the Territory.
In extent, the valley of the
Sioux would be but a small por-
tion in comparison. To say
nothing Of other grains, the
wheat fields of Eastern Wash
ington under cultivation have
produced an average of not less
than 80 bushels to the acre an
nually, and in some cases as hi, h
as 60, bushels to the acre, 80
bushels being considered as not
an extraordinary crop, and there
is no better watered section of
the same extent upon the CONT
nent, affording abundant water
power for all practical purposes.
These lands are all the way from
20 to 200 miles from Seattle, one
of the best ocean ports in the
world, and with railroad com
munication, which will be estab-
lished within the nsxt five years
at furthest, their products can

The Tow Line,

"Ofttimes have seen," says Oliver
Wendall Holmes, " a tall ship glide by
against the tide as if drawn by some
invisible tow line, with a hundred
strong arms pulling it. Her sails un>
filled. her streamers dropping. she had
neither side wheel nor stern wheel; still
she moved on stately, in serene triumph
as if it were her own life. But I knew
that on the other side of the ship, bids
cen beneath the great hulk that swan
so majestically, there was little toiling
steam.tug with heart of FIRE and arms
of iron, that was tugging it bravely on
and I know that if the little steam tug
untwined her arms and left the ship, it
would wailow and roll about and drift
hither snd thither, and go off wi tn the
ruf1ing tide no man knows whittier.
And SO 1 have known more than one
genirs high-decked, full frieghted. wide
sailed, gay pennoned. that but for the
bare, toiling arms and brave, warm
beating heart of the faithful little wife
that nestled close in his shadow and
clung TO him so that no wind or wave
could part them, would soon have gone
down with the stream and been heard of
no more.
