"WuAr CAME OF lT ?'---The book
which bears this title has been fl.
vorably commented upon, we be,
Iieve, by all of the Puget Sound pa
pers; it has already been introduced
in the towns along the upper Sound,
and takes like magic. Mrs. II. V.
Stitzel is it's author, and it was pub
lshed in Portland. We have not
yet had an opportunity Of perusing
its contents, but are willing to ac-
cept the Judgment Of so many that
it is an interesting and attractive
little volume. 1t is neatly bound

The agent was in town yesterday

will return on Thursday next, an,

CuANGE.-We are informed that
the steamship City of Chester will
take the place Of the Alaska on Pa.
cifc Mail Co.'S line between San
Francisco and the Sound. She is
due here tomorrow morning, and
will continue regular trips until fur
thcr notice. Mr.. Tibbals says she
will not take freight from the Sound
but will go to Nanaimo for coal.
The City of Chesteris under charter;
she carries 400 tons and is large
and commodous. Passengers going
below on her will take passage at
Victoria.

OUR local contemporary has no doubt
been pricked in sore spot, as its
columns of bile and froth to day will
be apt to indicate. We feel awfullv
hurt, of course. 1t accepts the
charge of having fellowship with,
and being loval to, rs. w. Hail"
lately of Olympia. In fact it
attempts TO defend him with
all the vigor of its warped and
corrupted being. 1t says that
"Hall's" character has been above
the faintest breath of suspicion since
he has been in Olvmpia--and further
on, in the same article, it says that
circumstances Of this Illinois matter
were known in Olympia at least five
years ago, and that "suspirion even
then quietly pointed to 5. w. Hail.
Evidently Blanchard was left 70
write up that article, and didn't have
sense enough to do it without con.
tradicting himself. His master should
be more careful next time.

MEssRs. Rothschild and Co., have
been doing an unusually large busi.
ness lately. We are not at liberty
TO publish figures, but can safely say
that the result would astonish many
Of our readers. Their transactions
during the past few weeks have fre-
quenty run up into the thousands
IN one day. Their store and ware
houses do not seem to be crowded
with goods because they are so fre
quentIy drawn upon, but their busi.
ness is, to say the least, a smashing
one for place OF the size Of Port
Townsend.

SPECIAL Agent Morris, of the
Treasury Department, has expressed
himself very forcibly in favor of hav-
ing the steam mail service from Port
Townsend to Sitka continued to Ko-
diak, Alaska. He also urges the me-
cessity of building a revenue cutter,
much larger aud stronger than the
Wocott, for duty in Alaskan waters.
There can be no doubt that the VOL
colt should be confined to Puget
Sound duty. The Major takes no
stock in the oft.repeated assertion
that Alaska is worthless. lie thinks
it rich in minerals, lumber, fish and
other valuable resources. The Ma
jor is man of quick perceptions,
sound Judgment, experience and
ability. We hope his efforts in be
half of Alaska will not be iruitless.

The trustees of the Nj. E. Church
in Tumwater have refused to allow
Rev, ID. N. Utter, Of the Unitarian
Church in Olympia, to preach in
their pulpit hereafter. The occasion
Of this was the publication in the
unitarian Advocate" of which MIR.
Utter is editor of a sarcastic com
nent upon the recommendation OF
the Evangelical Alliance in desig-
mating week os prayer at the open
ing of the New Year. Mr.. Utter's
forte seems to be in making aggres-
slve warfare upon orthodox denomi'
nGtions.

are now prepared to compete with

has been for some time advertised

whatever credit to its successful rivals seems
fairly due.
Many years ago THE TRIBUNE resolved that
it would take no part in newspaper squabbics.
The day for such exhibitions of professional
jealousy has gone by. They are hateful TO
all respectable readers of the papers that IN
dulge in Them and they ought not to be toll
Grated in decent society. Moreover, as we
have seen In the instances Just cited, they IN
terfere with the proper function of n newspa-

and fitness of its intelligence is becoming
moro and more marked every day. AMI,
rs the present trouble is chiefly about hnan-
cial matters we may add that there has been
no important piece of news in that line for some
wears of which THE TRIBUNE has not had the
earliest. the most complete. and the most
strictly accurate details. Aud we believe that
our success is largely owing to the habit we
have got into of mindlng our own business,
and leaving other papers 30 mind theirs.

IL is iDtimated by some of THR TRIBUNE's dilatory
contemporaries who were forced to the disagrecable
duty OF reading Secretary SberDan's annual Report

TRIBUNE published was merely a suTreptitious
synopsis. While this journal takes n modest pride
in the enterprise and capacity OF It's correspondents
10 must protest that this compliment ~ really 700
great. The tribune conlesses that 10 commands

Refo1ncrs are not able TO read Tng TRIBUNE now
adays for they thus compelled to get their news
from twenty-four hours To a week later than tho
regular readers Of this dlaboIcally active news
paper.
Democratic ideas of good behavior arc somewhat
remarkable. Mr.. WattersOn thinks the true way
TO behave Is TO "snatch " the seat of United
States Republican Senator and put Democrat INTO
it. Springer thinks the only way 10 behave well IL
for the party 70 make its chief issue the abolition OF
the National Banks. Both men have wonderfully
weak memories. The Democratic majority IN the
present and last Congresses snatched several seats
which n had no right "a, AMI tue people snp"cu

Death Il the National Banks ard everybody

hope 70 carry New-York on this issue, no Repubh-
can will be 50 impolitc as 10 interfere with the
funeral.
If Ilden should plug up the barrel and betake
himself to the writing of poetry the Democratic
party would have 10 advertise for a " gentleman
with a large cash capital to help it out OF
scrape.
Congressman Morrison, of Illinois, thinks Bayard
aud Mcdonald would be the strongest ticket the
Democrats could nominate next year, but he Is n
little afraid that Iiden will be strong enough TO
dictate the nomination, though hardly strong
enough to nominate himself. tir Morrison shows
much more discretion than those other advocates
Of Bayard who have the strange notion that the
best wav TO help their candidate is TO pour steady
aud vIrnlent aDuso on Ilden. Mr.. Morrison Is
right IN saying Tilden will have strength
enough to dictate the nomination at least, ana no
body who has studied the Claimants character VIII
credit him with the magnanmty OF bestowing bis
valuable influence on the candidate whose friends
have been the Oudest ana most Indecent Ia their
opposition TO him.
Springer il confident that the Democrats can sue
coed next year if they have good ticket and good
platform. They will have to go out OF the party to
find either.
The main trouble with the Democratic party is
that It's idea of good behavior doesn't coincide with
he peoples.
