The London Daily News in an cdito-
rial on the Guiteau trial says: ".rhe
whole court seems to exist for the con-
yenience and salf-glorification of Gui-
teau. In this mad burleslue, while Gull
teau is person OF the first consideration
the judge seems to be OF tn, last. Gui.
teau is forbearipg, even friendly, toward
the judge 80 long as the latter does not
assert his authority. On Mr.. Scoville
he heaps the most opprobrioas and in-
shifting epithets; but in the steady and
quiet persistence OF Ilr. Corkhiii, in his
unruille'l temper and quietly dignitied
manner, Guitcal has found an over
mastering force"

served term as q. w. Chief Tenn
plar of the Grand Lodge 10. G. T.,
of w. 7. and B. C. In the follow
ing year he represented his Grand
Lodge at the session OF the Supreme
Grand Lodge. Being an honored
member OF the Masonic fraternity,
his funeral was conducted under the
imposing ceremonies of this order.
Mr.. Hastings was not a man OF
brilliant parts, but his judgment was
sound, his intentions and disposition
of the best, and his life was sober,
upright and worthy of emulation of
all. BY his death the general pub
lie, and Port Townsend in particular,
lose a valuable and useful citizen.
The many positions of public trust
that he has filed, among which are
Commissioner of Immigration and
Member of Board or Health for this
territory, will hardly be supplied
hereafter with more acceptable tai
ent or more faithful service. His
death, like his life, was noted as the
quiet burning OF candle to its sock
ct. Having performed its full meas.
use of usefulness, there was nothing
for it to do but to expire. The gen.
eral dissolution of his physical pow
ers began several months ago, and
continued gradually until last Satur
day at 1:30 A. NJ, when he passed
peacefully away without a groan or
a struggle, surrounded by his sorrow
ing family and grandchildren. The
funeral ceremony on Sunday was af-
fecting in the extreme, and was
largely attended in spite of inclem'

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

The ARGUS has so often and EN-,
phat.cally expressed its views upon
this subject that it is unnecessary to
reiterate them, except to show that
these views are shared by the fore
most writer's of the age. In the
June number of the "Californian," a
few words occur so exactly express
ing what we conceive to be the pro.
per view of the case, that we cannot
refrain from quoting them. In com
menting on an eastern book recently
issued, on the Indian problem, the
editor says:
"The East, as usual thing, pre-
fers TO look upon the Indian ques-
ton from the standpoint of the In.
dian, aud reproduces no end OF
stories Of fraud and injustice; the
West generally looks upon 1t from
the stand point Of the settler, and
adduces innumerable instances of
barbarity and cruelty. And the
most that any one can do who at
tempts to view the subject from both
standpoints, is to shake his head and
declare it sorry business. And pro
babIy this will be the utmost that
can be done so long as our govern
ment, which is so jealous of its SOW
ereignty as to repudiate the state
rights doctrine, yet acknowledges
the separate nationality OF wander
ing tribes and makes treaties with
them as with foreign nations. The
Indian must, like the white man, be
treated as an individual. He must
be protected in his individual rights,
and punished for his Individual
transgressions. If he is lazy or
profligate he has no more claim to be
supported than the white or eolored
citizen. The reservation system
which provides place of retreat, a
rendezvous, an asylum in winter
from which 10 raid in summer-with
its concomitants, the thieving agents
and dishonest contractors, has proved
a colossal failure. 1t would prove
a failure If the wards so segregated
were whites instead of Indians. The
most industrious classes would be
utterly ruined by being treated by
the government as it treats the red
men,"
While there are undoubtedly many
Indian agents who are a credit to
the government and themselves, by
their honest and wise administration,
the most charitable view that can be
taken of the system itself is to pro-
nounce it a mistaken policy. The
u. S. government intended its treat
ment of its Indians TO be humane
and wise. Its formulated theories,
however, have proved lamentable
failures, and the practice of them
even worse.

THEY ENVY US.

Our attention has been called to the
following, from the Victoria "Colon-
ist:"
We plead guilty to feeling akin
to envy az we read in the Port
Townsend ARGUS a glowing account
of the progress that is being made
at the iron smelling works near that
pIace. Less than two years ago the
enterprise was started and now a
second town site has been laid out
and preparations have. been making
for the most ample growth of busi-
ness. A large furnace for roasting
ore is nearly completed, a few yards
from the smelling furnace; new
buildings are in process of erection,
while others have been finished; the
company have started store for the
convenience OF employees; q new
and extensive brickyard has sprung
into existence in the Immediate vi
cinity; the company's wharf has
been extended to point where deep
water vessels can load at low tide; a
new wharf and werehouse have been
erected near the hotel, and the wharf
in front of the furnaces is being ex-
tended along the beach to accommo
date the increasing business of the
comnany. What renders ssccess to
the American company ''gall and
wormwood" to TIE people of the
province is the fact that the bog iron
ore found near Port Townsend re-
ouires to be mixed with the magnet
ic iron ore from the British Colum-
bia island of Texada before it be-
comes a merchantable article, and
that while we are exporting our iron
ore 10 be smelted at Port Townsend
the initiatory steps for doing our
own smelling have not yet been TAX
en-. The Nanaimo "Free Press" says
that this state of things IS a shame
and a reproach to the province, and
aptly adds: "Such an enterprise is
made profitable in another territory
where they have TO come to this
province for the iron ore, surely a
similar enterprise would be still more
profitable on the spot from whence
the ore is extracted. The island OF
Texada is only about thirty miles
distant by open water from the coal
mines of this district while on the
island itself there is an inexhausti-
ble supply of timber. There are
many men in this province who have
given a lifa long service to the smell
Ting OF iron, so there would be no
need of importing skilled labor.
British Columbia is sadly in need of
the establishment of manufacturing
and industrial enterprises, and 1t is
to be hoped that some effort will be
made to draw the idle money from
its present Golfers and utilize it in
furnishing employment to many
hundred families, while at the same
time earning more for its fortunate

Thus is announced the death of
one of the pioneer settlers of the
Pacific coast, contemporary of the
founder of Port Townsend, and a
most estimable citizen. Loren B.
Hastings was born il st. Johnsbury,
Vermont, Nov. IS, 1914. He came
to Oregon in 1S47 and settled at
Portland where he was employed for
a time by our townsman, f. w. Pet
tygrove, the founder of that city,
and where he became a mems
ber of the first municipal
council of that place. On
the 25ih day of October, 1851,
Messrs. Pettygrove and Hastings
started from Portland for Puget
Sound. In a little fiat. bottomed
skiff, they padded down the William
cite and Columbia rivers, and up the
Cowlitz as far as they could go.
From here they trudged sixty miles
alone and afoot, through an unbrok-
en- wilderness, carrying their food
and blankents, to the head waters of
Puget Sound. Coming down the
Sound, they finally selected Port
Townsend bay for their future loca-
ton, Mr.. Pettygrove with prophet.
ic eye, declaring this to be the site
of the future twin city of Portland.
Having secured their claims, they re
turned and brought their families,
arriving here the second time on the
10Th day of February, 1852. Since
that time, Mr.. Hastings was a con-
tinuous resident of Port Townsend
until the day of his death. honoved
as public and private citizen, and
mourned for with honest grief when
the grim messenger called him from
eartly labors. Here he raised large
family "A sons and 2 daughters)
whom he was permitted to guide to
the years of maturity and to see set
tied in lives of usefulness around
him, while with the partner of his
joys he journeyed down the path OF
Time to a ripe old age. In early
days he was successfully engaged in
mercantile business here for a long
time, at the stand now occupied BY
his worthy successor. Mr.. F. w
James. Here he acquired a snug
little fortune, and invested it profit
ably in real estate and other desira,
BILE property. He filled at various
times the Offices of Justice of the
Peace, Treasurer aud other county
positions of trust, to the satisfaction
and credit of his constituents. In
1860 he served with distinction as
the representative oil Jefferson coun.
ty in the Territorial legislature, In
1861 he was candidate for re-elec-
tion, and, owing to some informali'
ty, the votes Of one or two precincts
were thrown out, and he received 6
certificate of election, although hi.
opponent, Judge A. Briggs, actually
received small majority of all the
votes cast. With a magnanimity in
dicative of his high sense of honor
Mr.. Hastings permitted the equita
bly, elected candidate to take the of.
Gee, unmolested. In 1864 he was &
candidate for a seat in the Tsrritor-
ial Council, but was defeated, by q
small majority, by Maj. VanBokke
len. He retired from politics, but il
1873 he was the republican nominee
for Joint Councilman from this dis
trict, and would doubtless have beer
chosen had not q disaffection in
his party, from causes with which he
had nothing to do, brought out a
second republican candidate and di.

in the city of Philadelphia ON the 18th
af June, 1872, and consequently WIS near
go years of age. In 1920 his father removed
to New York, and that city had been his
home ever since. AT the age of nineteen he
began business as shipping merchant
which pursuit he followed most successfully
until 1850, when he retired with an ample
fortune. In 1866 he was elected mayer OF
New York, snd WAS twice afterwards re-
elected, serving in that capacity during the
years 1866, 56, ~, 81 and '62. AS early
as 1841 he was representative in congress,
aerving that year and in 1912 and '43. be

In his death the country loses an able states
man, one possessed of broad and comprehen-
siye views, and devoted to what he believed
to be the best interests of the ration, and the
democracy loses tried and trusted leader,
faithful adherent to democratic principle,
and forcible expounder thereof. OF rugged
intellect and incisive and positive of charac-

of the age, and his name and fame will live
long after many more brilliant men than he
was have been forgotten. New York will
find it difficult to fill his place, for that city
never had more faithful or efficient repre-

With its accustomed spirit and enterprise
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company has
entered into the plans for the inauguration Of
President Garfield. With great vim and
energy it has determined 10 leave no stone
unturned to meet every demand upon the
road for luxurious and rapid transit from

Baltimore & Ohio has the advantage OF
possessing the only direct line from the west
TO Washington, and IS the trains Of all other

the Baltimore g. Ohio trains reach Washing
ton no less than seven good long hours ahead
of them. To the people from this section
of the country and the Rockies,
the saving of half days time,
or full days time in the round
trip, is a matter Of no mean Importance. AS
the tickets of all lines are limited to certain
specified time, this saving of u day is not only
such as regards the wear and tear OF travel,
but gives the passengers just that much
longer time to spend in the city. The Bal
timore & Ohio tickets, which will be placed
at very low figures, go on sale on the irst IN
slant, and will be good to return up TO and in
