the manufacturing towns Of
New England with all their
beasted wealth and civilization:

We would violate no vested

contributions from the accumu-
lations of the industrious and
thrifty to the support of the in
dolent and improvident; but
would secure to all their nautu-
raj right to place to live upon
Gods earth. Land is Gods free
gift to man; the natural inheri-
tance of all and no man should
be allowed to accumulate more
than he can use, for the purpose
of compelling tribute from the
labor of others. Titles already
acquired under the laws cannot
be disturbed; but the constitu-
ton can and ought to provide
that no man or company can
hereafter acquire more than one

A Job to coax bachelors out OF
single blessedness and to de-
crease the stock Of old maids
by an increased demand for
wives, may be involved in some
statements made by the London
Reuiew in regard to the relations
existing between marriage and
longevity. Old maids and bach
elors, it says, rarely to attain to
extreme old age, and then it
tells of people living to extra
ordinary ages by wedding a doz-

of Bordeaux, died in 1872 at the
age of 101 years, having laid
seventeen wives in tho grave,
and Margaret McDowall, a
Scotchwoman, died in 1865, at
the age of 105, having wept at
the untlmely demise Of thirteen
men whose name she had born
in rotation. Thus far the Re-
vie,o does not put a very strong
tax upon ones capacity for bolt

strain is rather severe when it
goes on to speak Of pair man,

The other Candidates.

The Other Candidates.
Having discussed at length
the position of Mr.. Andrews as
candidate for Delegate to the
Constitutional Convention, some
notice is due to the other candi-
dates for this Council District.
No man on Puget Sound is
more generally known, person
ally, than David Sires, the DEM
ocratic candidate. For many
years he was a hotel keeper in
this town and at Port Townsend
and for the past three or four
years he has been a preacher OF
the gospel of Christ, as he un-
derstands it. He is a man of
more than ordinary ability, of
popular address, and certainly
for the last few years of unex-
ceptional moral character and
department. His qualifications
as a constitution maker are yet
to be determined, and had moth
ing to do with his nomination;
that being made strictly on party
grounds, as a consistent and re-
liable Democrat; the Conven-
ton which nominated him
neither suggesting any express
sion Of opinion as to the issues
involved in the election, or ask
ing any from him. All we know
Of Mr.. Sires' views are what we
gather from personal intercourse.
He says he is opposed TO the
proposition Of Mr.. Andrews to
tax the means of religious and
literary improvement devoted to
public use; that he is in favor Of
any practical measure to check
the Chinese inundation, and is
decidedly in favor Of consti-
tutlonal provision to guard the
public domain against monopoly
for the use of the people by linn
iting the amount of land which
may. be hereafter acquired by
any individual or corporation.
He will also favor a provision to
secure to women, married or
single, the centrol of their own
property, against the contingen-
gencies of legislation, or the
tyranny Of the common law
doctrine, which regards women
as having no rights which men
are bound to respect. These
are some of the positions which
we gather from Mr.. Sires' con-
versation, and We regard them
as eminently sound SO far as
they 60. 1t is for the voters TO
consider whether they CORES
pond with their own views
and whether Mr.. Sires is the
right man to entrust with their
interests in the Convention.

Mr.. Andrews Platform.

ing churches, cemeteries and
educational institutions, the only
other points made are indefinite
suggestions on the subject OF
nrotection TO white labor, and
.slooking to prescription and fl
mol determination Of the MongO-
liam element from our State"
We cannot imagine under what
form of fundamental law a
measure could be adopted "look-
ing to prescription and final ex-
termination Of any element of
population. "Proscription" and
determination" as applied to
peoples, are words that have no
place in the vocabulary Of con-
stitutional government; but have
a terrible significance among
communists, agrarians and lev
ellers. Kearney, and other mob
leaders in San Francisco, invoke
the rope and the bullet to solve
all political problems, and exter-
mination as the only remedy for
the Chinese plague, which all
thoughtful persons admit is an
abiding curse to the country,
socially and politically. Mr..
Andrews deprecates mob rule,
but would adopt lawful measures
to prescribe and eXterminate a
large class Of people who we
have under the protection of
national guarantees which are
paramount to all State laws.
Pray how does he propose to do
IT? Words addressed to popu-
lar prejudice without any prac-
teal meaning, smack OF dema-
goguism, or the trickery ofparty
platforms which are only Invent
ed to delude. AS a protection
and defence against the augmen-
tation Of manifest evil for
which there is now no legal rem
edy, it would be eminently prop
er for the constitution to pre-
scribe that no money shall be
drawn from the public treasury
to give employment to China
men upon any public works. Mr..
Andrews, we have no doubt,
would favor such a provision,
which is very different from pro-
scription and determination
which no State law could make
legal.
Mr.. Andrews is no more for
tunate in his next suggestion:
I am in favor of general provis-
ions for the laboring classes Except
the Chinese.) The hardy hand Of
toll is to be the great bank of wealth
of our future State and should be
protected and shielded from injus-
tice of all kinds.
The laboring people of this
country are the sovereigns; they
scorn protection, and would re-
ject with contempt any "Free-
mems Bureau" or other provis-
ion, general or special, for their
exclusive benefit. Special legis-
lation for a class, is the bane of
popular government and has
been the curse Of labor in the
country. Under the specious
plea Of "protection to home in
dustry," ninety-nine hundredths
Of the laboring men of the
country are put under con-
tribution to wealthy manufact-
urers. Ifa critical examination
is made 1t will be found that the
average laboring man, with a
wife and four children, works
not less than two days out of
every six to pay the duties upon
the implements of his industry
and the supplies for his family,
not ten per cent. of which goes
into the public treasury. What
the rights of labor demand is,

law-"the freedom Of the public
lands to actual settlers was
Immediately turned into a hol-
low mockery, by enormous land
grants to soulless corporations,
thus isolating the settlers upon
alternate sections, where all
their improvements would re-
dound to enhancing the value of
the lands of the non-producing
monopolists, and depriving them
of the social advantages of i'm.
mediate nelghbors; conditions
for which the free lands was no
compensation.
All the labor distresses of the
country are primarily attributable
to land-monopoly. In Califor-
MIA, single tracts of thousands
and tens of thousands of acres
are held and cultivated by sin
gle individuals or companies,
employing Cinnamon and driv-
ing white labor to the cities for
employment. By land grants
and through land monopoly, TO-
900 Cinnamon are furnished em-
ployment in California; while
10000 white laborers and their
dependent families are out of
employment in the city of San
Francisco alone, suffering for
the common necessaries of life,
and a score or so of individuals
in the same city have annual in
comes Of millions of dollars,
sufficient, if equally divided, to
provide for the reasonable wants
of all who are without the
means Of support. But it is a
rule with all monopolists never
to relax any of their own power
or sources of income. On OCCASION
ofbusiness depression, the labor
ers are always the first to suffer,
either by discharge ordecrease OF
wages. The railroad kings,
the cotton lords, the iron mas
ters and the land barons, whose
princely fortur es are solely deriv-
ed from special privileges con-
eeded to them by the Govern
ment, in times of depression re-
tire to their castles, entrench
themselves behind their money
bags, and leave their dependents
without a shelter against the
pitiless storm. Hence all the
labor riots Of the past year.

all the States which have been
admitted to the Union since 1885,

A MANIFEST ABsURDITY.

1t is manifestly absurd to claim for a mere
stimulant, tonic aud Alternative properties. Yet
this is what is daily done by the vendors of cheap

tive, and agreeably favored, but the Alcoholic
basis Of which is Of the vilest and most hurtful
description. The transcendent success Of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the leading Alternative
tonic of the United States, has induced many Of
these compounders of drains in disguise, to at
tempt the counterfeiting Of this standard medi-
cine, but their efforts have never proved success
full OH a large scale, and they have themselves in
many instances VIGOROUSLY "come to grief
through the instrumentality of the law.
The genuine Bitters have, indeed, a spirituous
basis, but they are emphatically a medicine,
since their botanic ingredients are signally eff
cacious in overcoming and preventing chills and
fever, dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation,
and many other disorders.
