TIE ALABAMA STATE ELECTION.


WASHINGTON. July 29.-Prvate letters from Ala
bama Republicans convey the following intelli-
Eence regarding the prospects at the State election
next Monday:
The whole northern tier of counties is claimed,
and apparently with good reason by the Green
hackers This is the section from which Lowe. the
present Greenback Congressman. comes. As the
Greenbackers Of that section themselves experts
bulldozing and counting. nothing Is to be feared
by them from the Democrats.
In the Black Belt. which is the Republican strong
hold. and in which several counties give large Re
publican maiorities only two counties were per-
united, at the last election to have their ballots
Iairiy counted. There Gre indications that the
democratic counting machinery will be applied to
tnese Counties or at least to one of them OH Mem
Ssy. The canvassng Of the vote, IL will be remem-
oe,eo has been taken out Of the hands Of the local
authorities and vested in O Board, the members o..
~n,ch are appointed by the Governor. The object
n .nls law was almost undisRuisedly to enable the
democratic TO overcome Republican majorities by
means Of fraudulent counting.

IT will he observed by referring
TO the resolutions Of the National
Grange. Patrons Of Husbandry,
published in another column, that
the mission Of that organization is
not yet ended. They propose some
radical changes. which if they act
nnisedly, they have the power to en-
graft upon our political system.
But the if which stands in the
way will properly render their ef-
forts futile, for while they cannot
possibly maintain as thorough an
organization as is required for effec-
tive labor, many Of our patrons are
welded to the present political par
ties. and one might just as we'll try

SPEAKING of business Tor month
tho Pubiic says: Exchanges in No
vember amounted to ST, 724 $50 ,43S.
The vast increase of traffic is not
confined to New York. Philadel-
phia and San Francisco are the only
cities at which even the extraordin-
airy transactions of November, 1879,
are not surpassed. At San Francisco
recovery seems commenced, for the
decrease in exchanges is tritling.
In few cities the gain is small, but
in most cases the increase is large
and the transactions for November
far exceeded those of any other
month since the clearing houses
began their work. Indeed the great
wave of commercial activity is felt
already on the other side of
the Atlantic, for the largest e1-
changes ever known in a single day
were those of Nov. 18th, at London.
The Paris clearing house, which
reports monthly, shows an increase
of activity in October.

obtain tests of the sugar beets grown
in Washington Territory during the
year 1880, and distribute the
premiums, amounting to several
hundred dollars subscribed by
citizens, held meeting at New

conclusions reached are to ship all
samples to be tested to the Alvarado

that four of our prominent business

FRIDAY EVEN'G, DEC. 10, 1880
The Modern Colossus.

The inhabitants of Lilliput were
never more in a quandary how to
dispose of giant than are the Re-
publicans just now to preserve from
decay the Great Sphinx, which re-
mains among their trophies OF war.
While Mr.. Hayes suggests in his
message that still higher military
grade, that of Captain-General, he
created for him, "with suitable pro-
visions relating to compensation"
some of the wealthy men of New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, have
opened q charity subscription paper,
and already the sum of 100000
has been raised in the latter metrop-
oils. and doubtless similar amounts
will bs subscribed in both the other
cities, and, the crop of fools being
unprecedently large this year, the
fund may aggregate half a million
before it reaches the Generals ever
open Ito receive) purse. This added
to savings from the royal pay and
perauisites OF Lieutenant General
and the doubled-up salary of Chief
Executive, should certainly be
enough to enable the General to
live in style worthy OF an ex'
President" especially when he was
mot induced by a sense of duty to
abandon the comforts and Injuries he
has enjoyed in later life to bivouac
on the cheerless and CORY tented
&sld.
We are sick Of such tomfoolery.
We despise the very name of Ameri-
can when it is made the synonym Of
foadyism; when we see our country
men licking up the spittle of some
princely scion who visits these shores,
or glning their noses to the coat-tail
of man whose fame is based only
upon q fortuitous turn of events.
The great battles for the Union had
been fought before Grant took his
seat on camp-stool and announced
his determination to starve out an
already half conquered foe, if it took
al Summer to do it. He was well
paid for all the brains he brought
into the campaign by the salary and
emoluments of tho highest officer in
command, to say nothing Of the still
moro exalted position created for him
after his services were no longer
needed. or the sychophantic lauda-
lions of a grateful people, or an elec-
and reelection to the best position
within their gift, or the highest civic
honors conferred at the close of his
foreign travels, and to again pension
him upon the people. at the expense
of the widows and orphans of men
why fell that the nation might stand,
seens to be the height of blind in
5atuation and fanaticism.
Gen. Grant is hale and hearty,
and representative Of Republican
form of Government, under which,
theoretically at least, it is no crime
to be poor or to pursue any legiti-
mate business for livelihood.
Would it be any sacrifice OF the dig
nifty OF the Government, for Grant
to engage in some useful, respecta-

AlleSame White Man.

It appears that the treaty made
with the Nez Perez Indians in 1861
having expired, that tribe is a'erSe
to entering into any new stipula ons
contemplating an adherence to the
reservation system. A large ma jnr-
ity would prefer to own land, in
severalty and subject to the same
immunities and privileges as white
men, in lieu of the annuities and fos-
tering care of the Government.
They appear to have had the idea
very generally disseminated among
them that the agents make more profit
than they do out of the present sys-
tenn, aud instead of being poorly fed
and supported in idleness, they
would rather hold lands as their
own and make homes for themselves.
That the Indians have grasped the
proper solution Of the problem is
evident from the fact that it is in
perfect accord with principles enun-
ciated b. that enlightened and pro-
gressive organization known as the
Republican, party in the late cam
paign. 1t will, of course, diminish,
to some extent the number of sine
cure positions, with which to reward
the clamorous army Of political as
pirants. but it will in time add to
the voting population which can al
ways be made available when it is
needed to maintain party supremacy
by the appliances through which
ignorance has been so successfully
controlled.
1t is said that this plan of dispos-
ing of the matter, is becoming quite
popular. especially with those theo-
retical hamanitarians who propose
to Chrstlanlze the 4SO 200, 900 of the
Chinese Empire by making American
citizens of the thousands who flock
to our shores, and in the course of
time transplanting the major part of
its population to our favored land.
1t has been noted, however, that
there is a vast difference between
theorizing and reducing theories to
practical results; and it may be
barely possible that the scheme will
not work any more satisfactorily
than did Barnum's model designed
to illustrate his pet hobby of perpet-
ual motion.

those who have. not spent Win
ter season in Washington Territory
fluid it difficult to exactly understand
the broad smile of complacency
which has settled down upon the
faces of old residents since the in.
terminable rain began. The con-
slant drizzle is, to those unaccus-
toned to it, anything but pleasant,
while people who have become accli-
mated scarcely know that it is rain
ing unless their attention is called
to the fact. This popularity of our
people has given currency to o
tradition of one of our pioneers
carrying an umbrella under his arm

oblivious of the raging elements
until his attention was called to it.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Saturday morn
ing, about 10 o'clock, our commun-
ity was shocked by the sad intelli-
gence that Mr.. W. 1. G.. Neate, one
of our leading townsmen, was dead.
1t appears that for some months past
he has at times suffered intense pain
from a malady of long standing, to
relieve which he had been in the
habit of taking chloral, and to an
overdose of this powerful drug, I'M
consciously taken, is doubtless at
tributablA his untimely decease.
Mr.. Neate was born in Plymouth,
England, the Sth of September, A.
ID. 1874. He served his time as an
apothecary hospital steward in the
English Navy on the Chinese station;
after which he came to this Coast.
After brief sojourn in California
and Oregon, he accepted position
as hospital steward in the United
States service, and was stationed for
time at Forts Vancouver and Col
vile. He subsequently went to
British Columbia, and thence came
to this place, where he has been en-
gagged in the drug business the past
eight years. He was member of
the Pharmaceutical Society of New
York, which Indicates high rank in
his profession. A member of Olym-
pia Lodge of Odd Fellows, his MANY
estimable traits of character had en-
deared him to that fraternity, by
whom he was best known, as well as
won for him an enviable position in
the community. He leaves a sor-
rowing wife, and son by former
marriage, to mourn his loss. The
remains were buried Sunday. after
noon by Olympia and Western
Lodges, assisted by a large con-
course of citizens.
