FRIEND HoRR will soon have all tie
newspapers on the coast about his
ears if he does not take back what he
said about Chinese not getting into
the Territory from across the border.
Scarcely day passes that the
heathens do not make the attempt to
smuggle themselves in, and in many
cases they are successful, while III
others they are detected and sent
back. The fact is, a large force of
men, either military OF civilians ap-
pointed for that purpose, should be
scattered along the border at the
proper points to prevent the Tartar
invasion. The great wall of China,
built for the same purpose, would
scarcely suffice for the purpose, were
it transferred to our border bodily

The reports from Washington Ter.

needed to check the smuggling of
Chinese over the Northern border.

The foregoing shows that agitation
OF this question, begun recently by
the Angus, is likely to result in bring

Evans disclaimer of having any

An EIonest SEnn~Etn


WASHINGTON, Aug. I1.-Gen. Meiggs
has charge of the erection OF the new
Pension Office building in Washington.
A Boston terra Gotta company has the
contract for furnishing the material of
that character to be used in the new
building. The other day there arrived
IN carload of terra Gotta two COSTLY
lawn vases, with a note from the presi-
dent of the company saying that the
vases were intended as present to Gen
eral Meiggs. The vases were taken to
General Meiggs' residence. As soon as
the wagon stopped and he was told of
the presents there was some fun. He
talked very warmly an ordered them to
be taken away and shipped back to Ros-
ton at the expense of the sender. He
wrote a note to the President of the
company which was still warmer tL.u
talk. ''''' II

An exchange says: Chicago boasts
this year the settlement of 10000 people
IN suburban homes of their own. Such
an element of growth as this, city may
well be proud to record. 1t means more
than the numerical increase designated;
1t means the acquisition of an element
that, with all its interests and ties come
to stay, and as snch it outdoes in impor-
tance ordinary immigration statistics
of twice its numerical strength. Home
interests are paramount 10 all others in
the material prosperity of city or
country, hence it is not the humber of
people that come but the number who
make homes that Is indicative of growing
greatness"

Presidential possibilities are
slready provoking a wide discussion.
Among the democrats the most prom
inent movement is that in behalf of
1.-The old ticket" which means that
Tilden and Hendricks will be nomi-
mated again il possible, and that
their main hope of victory will be in
the cohesive disposition of the party
to vote the ticket simply because it is
the ticket. No clearly defined or far
reaching issue is to be decided by
the rssult-except, perhaps, the con
test to determine who shall have the
offices. The tariff question can
hardly be termed a partisan issue.
because the parties themselves are
divided as to where the line should
DO drawn. Indications point to an
attempt on the part of democrats to
esrry water on both shoulders ON
this question, as they did last time
in order to pacify warning party.
With republicans, the principal con-
ssst will be over the nomination:
after that is decided the party will
unite in long pull and a strong
pull to avert defeat and the loss of
prsstage acquired through a long
lease OF power. Developments for
the past few months have pointed
toward Chester A. Arthur as the man
most likely to bear off the honor of
standard bearer. A year ago, OF
even six months ago, the idea of Ar
thur becoming his own successor
would have been laughed at as ridic-
uloas, and yet we find his strength
growing so rapidly that already he is
being discussed with more or less
favor by leading journals all over the
country. All factions of the party
agree that the supreme need of ths
times Is man upon whom all car
uuite with q hearty support. Mr.
Arthur came into power under {,
cloud, but he has done his level besr
to unite the party, and his success.
has been complimentary to his gen
ius and ability.

STREET FILLING. While our city
government is at the Job Of filling
the streets, i'll view Of the prosperous
condition Of the place and its prom
lsihS future, the good work ought 10
bo carried TO the extent Of filling the
lagoon and the entire lower portion
or town up 10 "a standard grade. 1t
would involve little heavier tax
Etion for the coming year, but the
bonotit to bo gained would be i'm
monse in comparison with the light
financial load After the filling i
dono tho necessary matter of street
drainage and sewers can be attended
10, and then We Will have the busi-
ness part Of town in shape for occu-
paney TO its fullest capacity by fac
tories and business houses already
multiplying beyond present accom-
modations.
ABOUT Our GOvERSOR.-SO Some days
ago al associated press dispatch was
sent from Newark, \. j., about
Governor Newell, of this Territory,
10 the effect that he had failed to
properly y account for certain funds
comiug into his hands as executor of
an estate. Since then we have no
tieed reply from the Governor,
published in Seattle papers, stating
that 1t was family affair, and that
he had paid over all that was due
the heirs who We're creating the
trouble. 1t occurs to us that the ex
planstion or denial should be as full,
complete and widely published as
was the charge. Governor Newell
owes as much to his friends, his fam
lily, himself and the people of the
Territory. We recognize his use
fulness since assuming the duties of
his present office, and our position
has always been that of warm friend
ship for him; hence we desire to see
him fully Vindicated of such serious
charges. The dispatch in question
vas presumably from an unpreju-
diced source; it purported to be from
the official court records of New Jer
sey, and it wonld be likely to carry
credence with it If it was fabri-
cation, let it be proven SO.
