the people of our northern domain
mc told they must wait longer be-
cause their proposed government
does not exactly harnonizo with on'

cial, Legislative and executive depart
mcntS Of the ruling power separate,
Eastern congressman and senators
are not, as Il general thing, much en-
lightcncd on the subject Of Alaska,
and hence take but little interest in
its affairs, but it is becoming too i'm
portant to remain thus neglected
much longer The magnitude of
Alaskan mineral. fishing and fur re-
sources are at last attracting thithcr
such an increase of population that
the general government will soon be
forced to provide them with some kind
Of governmental machinery with

LATEST news indicates the truth
of Capt. Willoughby's retirement
from the Indian agency at Neuh Bay
by the consolidation of that rcsorva-
ton with the one at Quiniault; also,
that Gen. r. Fl. Milroy has been sim
ilarly lcgislated out Of office by the
addition of his reservation to that at
Skokomish under Mr.. Eells. AIilroy's
valuable services to his country in
time of war cntitle him to Il position
of trust and profit under the govern
ment as long as he lives, and we hope
he will be speedily provided for.
Capt. Willoughby, we believe, has
been faithful to his trust and strictly
honest during his occupancy Of the
Ncah Bay agency. His displacement
is greatly regretted.

communication with the outside world
The Puget Sound Telegraph Compa-

an Office was opened at the store Of
G. f. Clapp today (2Sth). The line
was found to be in perfect working
order, and communication was estab
lished with this place at once. This

in the near future. We congratulate

The importance Of agriculture in
the United States, especially its rapid
development into a science, may be
appreciated from the rapidity with
which agricultural papers multiply.
Some of the best talent in the land is
today devoted to publications Of this
kind. These remarks are suggested
by the receipt of the initial number
Of a new and interesting journal pub
lished at Washington, d. G., called

polygamy must go to the wall, because
the commission is backed by the
whole governmental machinery Of the
nation and by the moral sympathy of
fifty millions of people. 1t remains
to be seen, however, what new subter-
fuge will be resorted to by the Ibid
inous saints of Salt Lake. They have
been lodging the law of the land for
nearly half century, and have be-
come quite expert in the business.
Uncle Samuel will most likely have to
take his army down there and estab-
lish martial law for time before the
job of roofing out polygamy can be
successfully accomplished

Our telegraphic news today brings
word that the Quiniault and Neah
Bay reservations have been consoli-
dated, and that Agent Wood, of the
former, has been appointed to the
charge Of all the Indians on both.
We hope this is a mistake, as one
man could hardly do justice to both
reservations. Besides, if true, it was
very sudden action, as Agent Will
loughby had but recently been reap
pointed and his bonds are even now
ON the way to Washington.

dcyclopin" Of the great west as only
thrwcst can develop, the whole Pacific
coast will witness such an increase in
population as will surprise the world.
The recent cyloncs in Iowa and
Ncbrska have done an alarming
amount of damage to life and prop
crty. Probably the worst feature
about it, connected with the dcstruc-
ton Of houses, fences, crops, &c, is
that there can be no compensation by
was of insurance. The loss in every
every case is complete, and in many
cases it has robbed thrifty farmers
of well nigh their all, except their
land. In cities and towns the suffer
ing wrought is no less marked. Res
idcnts Of Washington Territory ought
to feel specially thankful over their
exemption from drouth, pcStilcncc,

Our attention has been called to an
article in the LaConner Mail of last
week, from the pen of Mr.. A. w. Ar
mold, formerly of Port Townsend but
mt present Of Coveland in Island
county. The writer has sprung Il
question that has long been talked of
quietly among lower Sound people,
but has never before been made the
subject of newspaper discussion. 1t
is in regard to the intentions of the
y. p. r. Il. Co. about Il terminal Sc
Lection for their great trans-continen-
tai road, as evidenced by recent SUI
veys and re-surveys by their engi-
neers. The idea advanced is that, of
crossing WILDLY Island, cutting Il
canal through from the head of Pcnn's
Cove, and connecting with Port
Townsend by ferry. OF course there
Is a great deal of idle talk and vision
ary speculation in connection with
these great railway enterprises and
indeed we do not propose to be led
into premature ecstacies over this
new tangent but recent develop
ments have convinced many sharp
observers that no point above Port
Townsend will ever secure the final
terminus of the road. The Canadian
Pacific will never be allowed to get
nea:er the ocean with its terminus
than the n. p. can get on this side if
the latter can help it. There may be
developments yet that will make

This is probably one of the steps en-

grooming him for the presidential

Congressman, but there are plenty

AUTUMN.
BY LINUS TOWNSEND.

Autumn-once more with languid stride
Traverses DER the course of time,
And through the dimning forest glides
In dreary. solitude-sublime;
Transition-on the distant hills,
Has changed the emeralds to sere,
And the murmurings of the dimpling rill'
Are in cadence with declining year.
The jay bird may pipe-his summer notes
Whilst passing 0 er the fading vale,
Which for a moment CHEEKY floats,
But dies away dismal wall.
A ] nature now is bathed in gloom
Seems mourning for the dying year,
The forests dropping round its tomb;
A draping pageant-wan and sere.
A weird dirge now rustles through,
The vestures of the pensiye grove
And fill again with charms anew,
Those never dying scenes of love,
Enchanting webs of golden haze,
Seem drifting in the lambent air
The gossamer and salient rays,
In magic woofs suspended there.
Now summers gone-has passed away
With CHEEKY spring forever flown,
Whilst along their paths deserted lay;
The sweetest-faded flowers strewn'
Dear emblems of our youth and spring,
Sacred gems, for thee we mourn,
Still fondly round our memories cling,
Departed 'ne'r 10 return.

THE GRANDEST POLITI-
CAL ASSEMBLAGE
SINCE 1876.
The Hall Packed to its Utmost Ca
pacity and Hundreds
Turned Away.

There was an uprising of the peo-
pie last night and most practical
demonstration given of the fact that
Republicanism in the County of Al
iegheny, is as strong as it was when
Lincoln declared the county State.
Two meeting were held, one in Old
City Hall and the other in Lawrence
vile. Both were successes of such
a nature that they left nothing to be
desired by the most ardent member
of the great party. At Lawrenceviile
seven hundred persons were in at
tendance, and the utmost enthusi-
asm was displayed, but it was at
Old City Hall that the great gather
ing took place. 1t was surprising to
see the hall fill up when the doors
were opened. The long lines of seats
capable of holding two thousand
persons became black in a few min.
utes' time, the standing room to the
rear disappeared and the gallery
was crowded. Still the crowd pour
ed in as long as foothold could be
obtained, while men stood in the en-
tries and on the stairs satisfied with
the occasional sentences they could
catch. At low calculation 1000
persons were in attendance, 100 of
whom were ladies, and enough men
to make large meeting were turned
away unable to obtain an entrance.
1t was the largest assemblage that
has been witnessed in Western Penn
sylvania since the Republican party
has been in existence, except once
in Presidential year-when Blaine
spoke in 1876. For enthusiasm, it
was an audience hard to excel. Sen
ator Frye was welcomed with a will
and made good the claims put for
ward for his oratorical powers by his
friends. The great reception of the
night was reserved for Gen. Beaver.
The house "arose at him" in a literal
sense, and it was some time after his
appearance before he could open his
speech. The interruptions during
his remarks were frequent, but they
were always the marks of approval,
and were not unwelcome. 1t was a
meeting that did credit to the Re-
publicans of Allegheny county T;
what more could be said in its
praise?

SPEECH OF SENATOR FRYE.


FELLOW CITIZENs-Your President
says that the Republican party in
the grand old State of Pennsylvania
is in the midst of a family quarrel.
1t is hardly right for a man away
from the Northeast country to come
here and put his hand into it. [
may have occasion indirectly to re-
fer to it but directly | shall not
trouble myself about your family
affairs. There is distinguished gen.
tleman to follow me, your gallant
candidate for Governor, Gen. Beaver.
What he will say cannot tell.
Therefore | shall confine myself to
one issue lest | might trespass on
the ground that he has selected. |
propose to talk about a question
that is of interest to every man be-
fore me-the subject of taxation.
Taxation puts its finger into every
mans pocket. 1t touches his most
sensitive nerve. If taxes are equally
imposed, no matter how heavy they
may be, the burden is not felt ; but
if they are unequally imposed, no
matter how slight, they are oppress-
i've and burdensome. The Republi-
can party has made it a study how
it can make a proper distribution of
taxes so as to protect the working
man and compel the wealthy to
bear their proper share of the bur-
dens. ] contend that in this the Re.
publican party has been magnifi-
cent success. The Democracy claims
that it is controlled by money, that
it is in the power of the monopolies
and that its policy tends to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer.
They say that in its legislation it
forgets the poor man and legislates
for the rich. How is this +? We need
s3O0,000,000 every year to pay the
expenses of the Government. How
do we raise it? By taxation. The
taxes by which it is obtained | di-
vide into two classes. They are in
ternal and external.

Wages in New England.

Usually statistics are very dry reading, but when they relate to the working clds ses of the country especially, they take on character that IS interesting. For this reason that part of the report of Car roll D. Wright, of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics of Massachusetts, on labor prices and compensation m New Eng land mills, Is worthy of attention. In reading these it must be remembered that many factories are run by water power and that much time IS lost during the Winter in consequence of freezing, etc, for which lost time employees are not paid.
 The number of hours of work per week in the mills of Massachusetts Is from sixty-Ihrec 10 sixty-siN. Spinners receive on an average SI oS a day, and the wages of the highest class of labOrers do not eN- ceed SIo Co SIc per week. In the wool en mills m Maine men are paid s SO week, women $ 50, and children from 5 50 to $ 10. One paper mill pays men SIo 30 week and women s SO, for sev- enty-two hours work. In Connecticut operatives are expected tO work fifteen hours day, and are paid S9 a week to men, S So to women, $ 10 10 boys and 5. 30 to girls. The highest wages pad 10 spinneis IS S. In New Hampshire the wages are lower than in Maine. in Rhode Island they arc tritie higher, and in both States the operatives are required to put m siXty-siN hours a week.

A New Ronnharr Line

The question is being mooted by Mexico and this Government for a new survey. more distinctly to mark and perpetuGte the boundary line between the two Republics. The proposition originates with Mexico. In order to determine just how much territory was acquired from Mexico and fix its bound aries, shortly after the war a party was fitted out, with John B. Weller as Con- missioner, and Andrew B. Gray as Chief Surveyor, vLo ran th- line from the Pacific Ocean, commencing at a point some twelve miles below San Diego to the junction of the Gila with the Colo rado. Subsequently a much larger ex- petition was titt d out from tn Atlantic side to complete the survey. with John R. Bartlett as Commissioner, and MT. Gray still acting as surveyor. This expedition sailed from New York on the 9th of August. It disembarked at h. dianOla, MatagO da Bay, Texas, and after obtaining the nec ssary number of animals to fit out a train over mile ID length, commenced its march through a country. the principal portion of which, at the time, was almost te ra incOgnitO. This expedition erected but few monu-
 
 survey, near Dona Anna. on the Rio Grsnde, and these were of the simplest kind, composed of such loose stones as could be found in the neighborhood, piled eight or nine feet high. Toe un- fortunate difference of opinion which took place between Mir. Gray, the American surveyor, SenOr Sa- lazar, the Mexican su veyOr, and IL the Mexican Commissioner. added still further to the imperfectiOns of the line that was then run. The story of the difference of opinion IS briefly this: The American and Mexican expeditions ar rived at El PasO. with the absence only of Mr Gray, who had been detained in Washington City with The smallpox. As lis absence was long protracted, and { Commissions were at heavy ex- pens determined to fill the va- canc Soard by the appointment of Ll tenant WLipple, of the United States Typographical Department, which determination was carried out. The treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, between Mexico and the United States, expressly stipulated that Disturrel's map should be taken as a guide in running the boundary line. 4 series of astronomical on the plrt of Lieutenant Whipple, showed the m ID tn contain an error of som" fifty miles, or whereabouts. The question then arose in the Joint "Whlch shall be taken, the 1 fact or th- fiction, Tn running the bound ary line" The fact was decided upon, which threw Mesilla Valley into Mexl- | can trrritOry. As there were a good ma l ny American residents they protested against any departure from the map. Mir Gray dissented from the departure, 1 and also from the legality of the Joint without his prese ice. Mir. | Gray's view of the matter was aft wards adopted by Congress, which, in effect. destroyed the utili y of the survey. We are not advised under what instructions a new Joint Commission, if appointed, l will act, but the fact r mains that the | work under the last Joint Commission | was most imperfectly performed, and | will admit Of thorough readiustmeat.- 5.
