Gov. Newell has telegraphed the
Republican Central Committee that
ne intends to take part in the local
canvass in the Territory, and will
probably arrive here some time next
week and Immediately mount the
rostrum. We opine that our hardy
pioneers will view this as rather o.
brash proceeding ON the part of his
Excellency. The contest cannot
figure In the national result, which
would be the only excuse for such
precipitate haste, and it clearly in
dicates that he is mistaken in his es-
innate of Western independence.

A POLITICAL sensation is just now
made in reference to a challenge
sent by Wade Hampton to John
Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury
for language used in a public speech
connecting Hampton with the Ku
Klux outrages. It looks to us like
a side-show, gotten up to divert at
tention from the issues which divide
Tne country and arouse anew the
passions aud prejudices which
should be forever buried in oblivion.
There is no doubt but that the Sec
rotary deliberately lied about the
matter, but that is no excuse for
Mr.. Hampton to seek redress at a
time when greater matters engage
the peoples consideration.

Our County Affairs.
Taxpayers, Pause and Reflect!


The Democrats of Thurston coun-
ty have, this year, placed before the
people an exceptionally good ticket,
comprising men of acknowledged
ability and tried integrity, undsr
whose control the public service will
be redeemed from the rule of little
clique which has resulted in piling
up taxes until the annual levy has
become burden too heavy to be
longer patiently borne. In times
like these, when the life of poor peo-
pie is q constant struggle to keep the
wolf from the door, it is OF the ut
most importance that all public as
we'll as private expenses, be reduced
20 the lowest possible limit, aud this
can only be done by placing them
under the control of officers who will
exercise prudence and care in the
ssS.ssss. s.:sS &c. ssss -a:ssSufssfhsniti'
of the revenue thus obtained. Our
taxes are necessarily high, even with
the exercise of the most rigid econo-
my. but we affirm, without fear Of
REPUTATION, that they are much larger
than they would have been had our
Commissioners exercised proper eau
ton in guarding against the many
costly errors of judgment of their
factotum, Mr.. Swan, and have care
fully scruiinized the acts OF the Off
Gers under their immediate super
vision. The course Of the Board
with reference to the taxes Of our
local railroad, was series of blum
ders, which will probably result in
the loss of 81 400 of the peoples
money; and the reckless manner in
which at least one heavy bill against
TIE county was audited and allowed,
incurred for keeping pauper, in
which the county paid the hard cash
and took farm as indemnity, be-
trays either woful misapprehension
of duty or perversion of the authori-
ty under which they are presumed to
act. The official career of the As
SCISSOR for several years back shows
the most fragrant disregard of the
peoples interests, which even the
plea of carelessness cannot fully ex-
plain. It is notorious fact that the
assessments are not complete or uni
form; that some property is not as
sessed at all, while other real and
personal effects are valued at figures
made during the flush times of the
/" terminus" excitement and are
much higher than what the property
would now sell for or which the own
ers ask for it. Some of the wealthy
men Of the county, luxuriating at
ease, pay but 1.-THE more OF taxes
than others whose constant efforts
are called into play to make bare
livelihood BY hard labor. So motor
ious lie thisadiscrimination that many
honest Republicans have condemned
the practice as an unparalleled out
rage, and have appealed for reform
to the present officers in vain.
The charge that favoriteis,n may
have influenced such discrimination
is strengthened by the discovery that
the Assessor did not return the

Oct. 9th, gives the following infor.
nation in regard to hops in that and

Receipts of California continue to

will not be without some beneficial
results. If anything was wanting to
open tue eyes of the people to the
reckless, law-defying spirit of the
dominant party. it is now supplied.
They know they have nothing to ex-
pect from sense of humanity and
justice, and that the strong arm of
popular will must put down these
offenders. The Democracy of Indi-
ana now know precisely what they
have to encounter, and the fair
minded Republicans begin to realize
that there may, be another exigency
like that Of 1861, which will again
demand a sacrifice of party on the
altar of Patriotism.

Now let him remember that Flattery
is at the extreme north west corner
of our Territory, and that its name
is suggested by the taffy which some
very obsequious friends are continu-
ally giving him, and he will prob
ably not be thrown " off his nut" if
elected, as he was when the Con-
gressional Committee asked him to
designate on the map the wel-known
landmark Alki Point.

The RESULT IN A NUTsHELL.-After
the Maine defeat, Republicans reali-
zed that defeat in Indiana simply
meant defeat in November. With
them it was victory there or an aban-
donment of the Presidential contest.
1t was desperate chance but it was
their only chance. They poured the
assessments from the 80 600 Federal
office-holders into the State; they
imported thousands of voters and
they bought thousands of votes.
They were no better managers than
their opponen'o, but their condition
was more desperate and their re-
sources much greater. In war, VIC
tory is generally on the side of the
heaviest batteries; in political cam
paigns, such as that just closed in
Indiana. the majority is almost
always with the largest purse. Lam
ders, the Democratic nominee foi
Governor, was unpopular, but lie
owes his defeat not to his unpopu-
larity but to the fact that the Re-
publican election fund was twenty
times greater than that ofthe Demo-
Gratis. A Democratic majority in
Indiana would. have decided the
Presidential contest. A Republican
victory there merely intensifies the
struggle. Twice Indiana has voted
one way at her October election and
the other way at the November cleo
ton. She will probably follow this
programme this year. Hancock is
10000 votes stronger in Indiana than
Landers.

Captain Ends, Ship Railway.

The Scientiac American of last week contain cd two full page illustrations of Captain Eads' proposed railway for transporting ships with their cargo across continents.
 Captain Eads claims by his plan to be able to take loaded ships of the largest tonnage from one ocean to the other across the lsthmus of Panama. as readily as can be done by a canal after Lessup plan, and at much less cost for engineering construction.
 The project is eer ainly bold and ingenious, and the protector anticipates no serious diff culties in carrying onward his enterprise The engravings referred to in the Scientitic Ame'tcdn show the proposed construction of not only the railroad, but the appliances for transferring the ships from the water to the rail.
 In addition to tho large number of onpray- ings, Illustrative of engineerips works, inven- tlons and new discoveries which appear woek- ly, the Sate'attto American has, during tho past year, devoted considerable space to illus trating and describing leading establishments devoted to different manufa curing industries
 This feature has added very much to the at tractiveness and usefulness of the paper. More than ffty of the most important indus trial establishments of onr country have been illustrated. and the processes of tho different manufactures described in it's columns. The Sctentytc Amey{cdH has been published for more than thirty-four years by Mum X Co.,, 37 Park Row, N. Y., and has attained larger weekly circulation than all similar papers pub llshed III the country. Tho publishers assure the public that they have not printed less than 5O,OQ0 copies week for several months.

The farmers club at Lee discussed the question: s'What can be done to make our town moro healthy and attractive?" Many
 suggestions wore offered such as, improve,
 ment of the roads, removal of roadside fences, introduction of water and sewers, improve.
 ment of sidewalks, payment of town debt etc. Another serious smash-up occurred on the Troy and Greenfield railroad Saturday night
 in tho rocky cut between Wiliamstown and Blackinton. Twelve freight cars became de- { tached from the main track near the depot yard at North Adams, and getting the start ! of couple of inefficient brakemen, started at
 a rattling rate down the grade, passing Black
 inton like flash, and colliding with the east \ ern bound freight in the cut. Two coal cars ! were wrecked, the locomotive was thrown
 across the track and badly smashed, and one of the brakemen on rear car only saved his | life by jumping into mill pond. The wreck ! caused a general blockade of business, tive passengers and several freight trains being compelled to lay over at Williamstown, while ! two trains were delayed at North Adams.
 wrecking train worked all night to clear tho | track Still another collision, on the Troy ' and Boston road, occurred in the covered
 bridge west of Vermont signal station al
 about o'clock Sunday morning. by whicl
 two locomotives were wrecked and eight cars | were smashed up. Engineer Barrett was
 badly scalded, but the other engineer and his
 froman jumped just before the trains met
 midway of the bridge, thus saving their lives
 as their engine was total wreck. The loss
 will be $2o, 900 at least.-Repu6ican.

 -Geo. L. Parsons has stock of new fash. toned lamp chimneys, which are regular salamander water nymphs. They can be ta- ken from the lamp, sissing hot and plunged into Q pail of water, and from the water they ] can be placed on the lamp in full blaze, with out danger of breaking. They are annealed glass, and sell at l5 cents apiece, but are cheaper in the end than any other chimney made.
 John B. Cough is to lecture in Ct. Bar rlngton next Monday evening, Nov. l5. This simple announcement should suffice to draw a full house, as Mir. Cough is conceded to be the foremost lecturer on the rostrum. Tickets are on sale at G L. Parsons store in this place, and c. W. Halls, Falls Village. The through freight train will be held until after the lecture to accommodate those from this way who desire to attend.
 Tho queerest flop-over in the late cleo. tion was that of Ltchfield County, the strong hold for so many years of the unterrifed. It not only gave republican majority on the gener al ticket including congressman and sheriff. but it elected majority of republican repre-. sentatives. In looking over the list of rep, resentatives we notice some well known names, notably those of Judge Seymour oi Litchfeld, and Dr. William w. Welch of Nor folk. They were together in the house in lS50 Judge Seymour being the speaker. Since then the honor of the speakershlp has not fallen to this County. Governor Andrews was candidate for the nomination in 1878, but was defeated by Judge Briscoe of Hart ford. It occurred to us from this reminis- cence that it would be handsome thing for the republicans to do, to recognize their un- expected victory in this part of the state, by
 
 of Judge Seymour from this County, his col league of 1850 and 1881, There is no man better qualified for the place than Dr. Welch. He possesses superior ability and culture, and has had large experience in legislative du- ties. He was a member of the house in 1850, and again in 1869; was member of the Senate in 1852, and has represented the 4th Congressional District in the Congress of the United States, He combines in an eminent degree what is very essential in @ good pre-. siding officer, the suGvite, in m0d0 with the fortiter iaa re. While he has always been a staunch republican, he is never the blind, un. reasonable partisan. He would make cap tal speaker and would add dignity and honor to the position. The people of this section, irrespective of party, would appreciate such a recognition of his worth, and of his long and faithful service, and would feel delighted at such a compliment to "the beloved physician" "
