The Puget Sound people are looking
anxiously toward the inauguration of
the isthmus canal scheme, expecting
to profit largely by it. They say the
building Of the canal willrequire large
amounts OF lumber, and that Puget
Sound mills Will have to furnish three
fourths OF all required on the work.
We trust that all their hopes in this
respect may be realized.

The Chicago Church Choir company gave an
excellent entertainment last evening, on which
occasion double bill was presented. The en-
tertainment opened with Gilbert and Sullivan's
burlesque operetta, Trial by jury" and closed
with ''Pinafore." The leading people sang in
both operettas, and those present speak IN the
highest terms of praise of the entertainment.

METROPOLITAN THEATRE.
At this house last evening the interesting
play, ''Step by STEP" was played for the last
time. The play was well mounted, was pre-
sented with powerful cast, and may be called
decided success. 1t is possible it may be re-
peated at the matinee Saturday afternoon.
This evening Miss Grace Garland receives
her second annual benefit, and will appear as

been very large, and an immense house is as
sured. At present the indications are that a
large number of extra seats will have to be put
in the house to accommodate all who desire to
witness the performance. Manager Murray
has had some magnificent scenery prepared for
this occasion, and the costumes worn will be
gorgeous. Nothing has been left undone to
make the entertainment grand success.

An Uptown Hotel Wanted.

The people of upper town $50 called), and es-
pecially those doing business in the vicinity of
Seven Corners. feel a natural and personal in
terest in having big hotel in that locality.
Old settlers will remember when the hotel (the
old Winslow house, gave tone and frst-class
hospitality to all corners ut the Seven Corners
and the fame thereof went out through all the
land. But it came to pass that the devouring
calonic element which, like ''the pestilence that
walketh in darkness" and 'the destruction that
wasteth at MONDAY" consnmed that stately
and popular carava6sary, ana since that fated
period upper town has been deficient in first
class hotel accommodations. No one familiar
with st. Paul aud the almost marvellous
boom" which is in progress with giant strides
towards the metropolitan proportions
which was predicted by the lamented
Seward a quarter of century ago.
but will agree with the GLOBE in the as
sertion that our rapidly growing city is now,
and will be, wofully deficient in hotel accommo-
dations unless measures are taken to meet the
emergency which is already upon US. We have
been led to the above reflections by the fact
that Gruber's hotel, situated near the Seven
Corners, has been closed as hotel for some
time past, to all except for the accommodation
of few of Mr.. Gruber's particular friends. Mr..
Gruber, the owner of the property and for years
the proprietor of the hotel, is a gentle
man OF We8lGn, ana LOT some years mas
retired from active business life We
understand that he is willing, in defer
ence to the wishes of the property owners and
business men OF that locality, to sell the prop
erty on most favorable terms. The hotel is one
of the most substantial buildings in the city,
with seventy-nine rooms for guests.
During the past few months Mr.. Gruber
has thoroughly overhauled, renovated
and newly furnished the entire house IN
style equal to any hotel in the city. As stated
above, Mr.. Gruber does not wish to re-enter
business himself, neither does he wish to lease
ii. We understand Mr.. Gruber will sell the
entire establishment at very low figure, and
on favorable terms. Connected with the house
is q barn, capable of accommodating fifty
horses, which can be leased if desired for al
most any length of time. Here is an oppor-
tunity for some enterprising hotel man to
make fortune Who will be the lucky man,
to purchase this fine hotel property and earn
the active cooperation and gratitude of the
residents of upper town?

elections. This proposition is nothing but
fair, and it is difficult to see upon what,
aside from partisanship of the most bigoted
description, objections can be raised.
APARTTAL VICTORY.

The vote yesterday in the House election
committee on the Donnelly Washburn con-
test was only partial victory. 1t placed the
seal of disgrace upon Bill Washburn, the
Minnesota corruptionist and bribe-giver.
His warmest friends and closest companions
in rascality concede that he must retire over
whelmed with shame. The committee,
counting paired members, by vote of to z
have settled his fate, and they ought to have
voted in q similar manner to seat Donnelly.
They have stopped far short of justice in the
matter.
As the fight now goes into the House we
can count the battle as only just begun.
The report of the majority of the committee
is so logical and overwhelming that though
four Democrats of the committee have proven
falnt-hearted, there is much reason to hope
that that number will not be augmented
when the entire House comes to act upon it.
The facts presented are absolutely irresisti-
BILE. In conceding that Washburn must go,
the committee have practically decided that
Donnelly ought to have the seat. No other
conclusion can properly be reached.
There were but two candidates
in the field and if one party lille
ultimately secured the certificate of election
the natural sequence is that the other
candidate must have been entitled to it.
This is not contest to secure State in
case the Presidential election goes into the
House. It is contest to purify the most
corrupt Congressional district in the United
States, and to rebuke and punish the politi-
cal scoundrelism which is best summed up
in the single d-Washburnism, It is
contest in which every honest man should
feel deep interest regardless of political
predictions. No good citizen can
afford to endorse or wink at
Washburnism. It is the ne plus ultra of ras-
cality and an absolute destroyer of the ballot
box. If allowed to pass unrebuked it would
be better and more reputable to auction
Congressional seats publicly to the highest
bidder.
The fight should be pressed in the House
without delay. Mr.. Washburn should be
sent home inldisgrace at once and be very
thankful that he escapes with no severer
punishment. Mr.. Donnelly should be given
the seat, to which he was Justly elected, i'm
mediately. in order that the State may have
the benefit of an efficient and active Con-
pressman

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

The Beaconsfeld government received a
very black eye in England on Wednesday
last, when sixty-four members of the new
parliament were chosen. Returns show that
the liberals have gained in all fifteen mem
bers, and it is generally conceded that if the
same ratio of gains continues throughout the
country, the conservatives will find them
selves in a minority when parliament next
convenes. This, of course, will involve the
necessity of resignation of the entire min
istry, when Gladstone will again come to the
front and assume the reins of power.
The readiness with which the people OF
England can change their government is q
strong argument in favor of the system. The
queen is a mere figure head, possessing
scarcely any real power. The government
de facto is her ministers. What they plan
receives the royal approval unquestioned
But when the house of commons disapprovea
of the conduct of the ministers there must
be an appeal to the people. If they, the
source of all power, condemn the premier
and his ministers, the crown is obliged to
change its advisers and place the govern
ment in the hands of the party of the major
ity, no matter how distasteful it may be.
A change may be made every three months
or may not occur for quarter of a century.
The power to change, however, resides with
the people, and its exercise has no doubt
averted disturbances that would have result
ed in revolution and civil war.
Whatever the final outcome of the pend
ing elections may be, there seems to be no
question but the political atmosphere of
Great Britain will be purer in
consequence. They will show in
what esteem the foreign policy of the
conservative party is held by the people, and
even if it should be upheld the expression at
the polls will suggest some notifications
that, if carried out, will conduce to the profit
of the kingdom. If the majority is consid-
erably reduced, which appears to be likely
now, it will compel the government to exer-
else greater care in the preparation of its
measures, and to be sure that they will meet
with the popular approval. This will ensure
more careful legislation, and tend to still
further relieve the people Of some of the
burdens under which they labor.
