Editorial Notes.

The Anacortcs Enterprise doesn't
like our allusion to Port Townsend
as one Of the future great cities of
Puget Sound, and says that such a
place must be railroad center. BY
all means, brother. but then there
must be something more tangible
about the railroads than that Ana
CORES map. Railroads and cities can
easily be built on paper but they
are chiefly used for dreamers to
Rmuso themselves with.
RoADg-We learn that an effort
Uill soon DO made to secure some
kind OF concert of action between the
commissioners OF jefferson and
Clallam counties, looking to the open
ing OF wagon road between the two
counties. One thing is quite certain,
the two counties are well able to
open q good road from Port Dis
eoyery mill to Sequim prairie; and
that it would be grand public con
yenience no one doubts. A little
effort in this direction would aid
materially in developing these coun-
ties, besides ministering to the neces-
aties Of the people.
We print today fiorid communica-
ton about the bill to repeal the Sun
day law; but please do not under
stand us as endorsing any such senti-
meats We have yet TO learn that
the law attempts to force anyone TO
vorship God in any form whatever,
and when it comes TO saying that
Christians worship through supersti-
ton and follow teachers who are 60

are too sweeping. Young men are

beliefs together with what they do

We have piped often to the city
fathers of Port Townsend on the sub
feet OF protection against fire; but
they have not always danced to our
tune. We repeatedly expressed the
conviction, while hoping it might
prove erroneous, that this towns ex
perienee would simply be a duplicate
Of that of very many others-delay
and Indifference to the real needs of
the town until q devastating fire
should wake people up to some sort
Of realization of their wants. But,
As we said before, the city authorities

teer fire company that has been or
ganized several years, has disgusted
the company into disbanding. We
are assured that this company means
Just what it says about disbanding.
True, it has never had occasion to
put out any serious confagration, but
It's career has been none the less hon
orable. It has collected and turned
ever to the city corporation about a
thousand dollars worth of property
In the shape of a hand engine, hose,
cart, etc. Besides, it has been on
hand when wanted to answer an
alarm, whether there was a big blaze
or not. When it disbands, as it GER
tainly will, the city will be absolutely
without protection against fire, unless

A Horseman's Barbarity.

Racing men throughout the country.
and particularly in this vicinity, will
be shocked to learn Of the yillainous
operation performed on that magnifi-
cent young stallion, Onondaga, who
carried the Dyer co1ors SO well in his
two-year-old form. The horse, it will
be remembered, was bought by Milton
Young, last fall, and placed at the head
of his stud in Kentucky. Onondaga,
like all the Leamingtons, and particu-
larry the recent ones, had anything but
good temper, and, since he has been
at the stud, he has become savage. To
remedy this the horsewa chloroformed
and his eyes taken out. A wel-knoWn
veterinary surgeon, who until very re-
Gently maintained a racing stable, de-
nounced this deed as a dastardly OUT
rage. g. I never heard of such inhuman
cruelty. Itwas altogether unnecessary,
as they might have put goggles on him,
or leather eye coverings. Besides, the
horse will grow altogether morbid in
his disposition, and, being unable to
see, will lash out indiscriminately. -

American Society.

AlucIlcdu SOCieby, DIS uOW= CdIllCu vi:
is maintained solely for the benefit OF
young girls, and is generally little bet
ter than marriage mart. The parents
launch their offspring as well as pos
sible, and display their wares to the
greatest advantage but the business
Of the market is carried on chiefly by
the young girls themselves, instead OF
by their mothers as in England and
Europe. There is no special objection
to this method of transacting the bust.
ness, but it is preposterous that young
girls and their affairs should over.
shadow and shut out everything and
everybody else. The result of this alb
sorption in one class and one pursuit
is that American society is often insult
ferably dull and fiat. It is made up
too exclusively of ignorant girls and
their attendant boys. Half the educa-
ton Of a cultivated and attractive
woman is, of course, that which is de-
rived from society and from the world;
and yet American society is almost
wholly given up to the business OF en-
tertaining and marrying those who are
necessarily wholly destitute of such an
education. Another effect of the prev
alence of social principles of this de-
scription is the supremacy Of that most
rustic and unattractive of habits, the
pairing system, which converts society
into a vast aggregation Of tete-a-tetes.
This prevails all over the world to a
greater or less extent, but it should
never reign supreme. The upshot %
the whole thing with us is to drive out
of society nearly all married people-for
marriage under such a system is de-
struetiVe of social value; nearly all un-
married women over twenty-five, who
are thought to have overstayed their
market; and. finally, a considerable
proportion of the unmarried men OF
thirty and upwaroJ. In other words,
except at a few large balls and re-
captions, all the best and most intel
ligent part of society is usually lacking,
It has been pushed aside, and is
obliged to find all its social amusement
in small lotteries of its own. This re-
tirement is, of course, voluntary, be-
cause the pairing system ruins general
society, and makes it, in fact, impos-
sible in the best and truest sense. A
clever young Englishman not long ago
expressed his surprise at the fact that,
whenever he asked who lady of a
certain age, as the French say, might
be, he was invariably told, not that she
was Mrs. Blank, but that she was the
mother of Miss Blank. The girl, like
the boy, is properly the most insignif-
can't member of society. When a
young man goes forth into the world,
he starts at the bottom of the ladder,
and works his way up. The same rule
should apply to young women in socie-
ty. They have their place, and it is an
important one; but they should not
start in social life at the top, and then
slowly descend. Such a system is
against every law of nature or of art,
and with its inevitable concomitant of
universal tete-n-tetes makes really at
tractfve general society impossible.
We place the social pyramid upon
it's apex instead Of upon its base,
and then wonder that it is a poor, tot
tering, and unlovely object. atlantic

Searching for the Dead at BraidWOod.

BRAIDwooD, ILL.,, April 2.
The Diamond mine was the scene of con-
siderable excitement yesterday. The fact
that the bodies which had been discovered
were to be brought out drew large crowd,
and when, about three o'clock, the news
spread that the party who had gone down
after the remains had been imprisoned III
the roadway while putting the bodies in the
collins the excitement on top was intense.
The wives and relatives of the men in the
mine were wild with grief over their pros
pectiye deaths. The men did not re-
turn when they were expected, and
q party was at once sent out to
search for them. When the second party
had nearly reached the point where the
bodies were discovered, they found that a
large piece of stone had cayed in and
blocked up the narrow passageWay. The
men, however, were soon liberated from
their involuntary prison. One of them was
SO Frustrated that he had to be carried home.
The rescued party said they would never go
in again. Other searchers who have been
working there say they also will not return
into the mine. 1t is thought no further
search will be made, as no men can be found
who are willing to go down. The bodies
were taken out about four O'Clock and
placed in the morgue. The crowd then
passed through and viewed them. They
were identified as Thomas Rogers, Hugh
Ramsay, Andy Fulton, Ike Pearson, James
Pearson, and John Pearson. They could be
identified only by their near relatives by the
clothes they wore. The funerals will ike
place to-day at ten O'clock.

Arrest OF an Accomplished Bigamist
and Swindler-His Career.
NEW YORK, April 2

NEW YORK, April2.
William G. Russell, the check-passer,
who is also known by the name of Ballard,
Maltby, and other aliases, was taken into
custody on Saturday afternoon, while loiter-
ing in the neighborhood of the house in
which dwelt Miss Van Houten, the young
woman whom he married in Baltimore in
December last, and abandoned in few
weeks afterward at Earl's Hotel, in this city.
1t was during Detective William McLaugh-
Inns watch that Russell put in an appear
ance. Arriving near the bank on which he
had attempted to pass the forged check,
he turned to Detective Sergeant McLaugh-
lin and said: g am now satisfied that
it is your intention to show me UP. It's no
use, surrender The prisoner has within
the past two years proved to be skilful
forger and slayer down" OF worthless
checks. When he had made up his mind to-
become criminal, Russell, late in the sum
mer of 1881, went to Newburg, N. I. He
appeared there under the name OF II. 5. Bal
lard, and in the role of retired Philadelphia
physician and land Spectator. He engaged
board at the house of Mrs. Brock and there
perfected his schemes. To better carry out
his plans and also remove suspicion, he APP
reared to be smitten with his landlady's
daughter. On the oath of August, 1882,
he was married to Miss Amelia Brock,
nv the Rev A.. Mclean. at St. Johns
Church. Newburg. Two DAYS after his
marriage he induced Samuel Ward, grocer
at that Mace. to cash a check for him. 1t
was for 500. and was drawn on the Tuar-
RACK bank. He succeeded in passing the
check by representing that he had suddenly
run short of funds and desired to 20 to Goshen,
N. Y, to search the titles of some property.
He left Newburg and his bride on that day,
and never returned again. About the
middle of November, however, he turned up
nnder the name of Ballard at the EutaW
House. Baltimore. While there he
made the acquaintance of comedy
and respectable seamstress named Van
HoIten. She was dazzled with his preten-
sions of wealth. He had exhibited to her
numerous bank-books containing entries of
large deposits. bundles of railroad shares,
deeds Of nronerty. and other securities. The
seamstress accented the offer. and after a
courtshin of a few DAYS they were married.
On the 10Th Of November Russell came on
with his bride to this CITY, going to Phila-
dalphia several times and yictimizng several
versions there. December 20 he gave his

Through every happy line sing
I feel the tonic of the spring.
Tho day is like an old-time face
That CLEANS across some grassy place.
An old-time face-an old-time chum,
Who rises from the grave to come
And lure me back along the ways
OF Times all-golden yesterdays.
Sweet Day! to thus remind me of
The truant boy used to love-
To set, once more, his finger tips
Against the blossom of his lips,
And pipe for me the signal known
BY none but he and alone!
see, across the school-room floor,
The shadow OF the open door,
And dancing dust and sunshine blent,
Slanting the way the morning went,
And reckoning my thoughts afar
Where reeds and running waters are;
Where amber-colored bayous glass
Where SPRAYING frogs, in loyeless key,
Sing on and on necessarily.
Against the dim woods green expanse
The cat-tail tits its tufted lance,
While on its tip-one might declare
The white 'ssnake-feeder' blossomed there!
III
I catch my breath, as children do
In woodland swings, when life is new,
And all the blood is warm IS wine
And tingles with tang divine.
My soul scars up the atmosphere
And sings aloud where God can hear,
And all my being leans intent
To mark his smiling Wonderment.
o, gracious dream and gracious time,
And gracious theme, and gracious rhyme
When buds of Spring begin to blow
In blossoms that we used to know
And lure us back along the ways
of Times all-golden yesterdays

PILES.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some at

organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are psesent, as fiatulency, I'M
e~asiness ofthe stomach, etc. A mois-

very disagreeable itching, particular

The following from the Jackson HER
AID contains a good deal of sound sense,
and those to whom it will apply should
think seriously over it:
When a newspaper editor noses around
to discover when a neighbor takes a
drink, ETC., and publishes it, we think he
is outside the legitimate sphere of news
paper business especially as such news
is of no benefit to community, and the
editor who does so would not like to have
items of that character published con-
corning himself or members of his own
family. "Those who take the sword
shall perish by the sword" and newspa-
per publishers who give publicity to
scandal about their neighbors will re-
ceive nc sympathy when similar items
are published relative to their own fam
lilies. Men who do such things are cow
ardly scoundrels whose lives are full of
leprOuS spots!
