False Alarm.

About halfpast II last evening
the alarm of fire was sounded from
the City Hal, and Immediately
every body was on the alert, the
prevailing question as usual being
where is ?" No cne knew, and
consequently information was not
to be mad. There were no indica~
tons of a blaze anywhere, and at
last the hose cart, which with Its
men was as usual promptly dis
patched to the supl Osed scene of the
trouble, vas observer returning, the
tinkling of its bells seeming to form
a disc0rdant chime Of supreme dis
gust. 1t was afterwards learned
that girl in En- Davis bagnio had
moved the indicator on the District
Telegraph box to "fre," and made a
call, which of course was promptly
responded to. If this was a mistake
it will have to be overlooked; but if
Intentional it ought to be punished

Strange Phenomena.

On Monday morning, shortly after
2 o'clock, lightning commenced to
dart from the heavens, and at times
was very vivid. This was continued
for about an hour, when vast sheet
of the lurid element descen ded upon
the earth, so glaring as to almost
blind those who witnessed it; it was
Immediately followed by a loud
peal of thunder, which awoke msny
sIeepsrs throughout the city. For
this time Of the year, it also being
extremely cold at the time. such
events can scarcely be consid red az
otherwise than startling, and we
await an explanation at the hands
Of the scientific.

The Land Grabbers.
American Register.

Il was high time for the Demo
cratic party in Congress 10 call 4
halt in the long history of land
robbery which this country has been
called upon to witness. When the
course OF empire began its march
westward, the American Union
owned millions of acres of aiable
land, and there was rich provision
for ali whc might want to cultivate
the sol, and for Il hundred years to
come, the people could contemplate
this splendid domain as their own in
heri'ance. and be sure of a home, if
the struggle of life in the cities be-
came too great. This was the pros.
pee: when the Republican party
came into power; but where is this
vast in 4eritauce now? Is it still the
property of the people of the Uni
ted States? Yes, what remains of
1t is, but the grasp of monopoly and
political speculation has cut this
grand heritage of o free people into
fragments. and now holds perhaps
the largest and best part of it for
purely speculative purposes. The
robbery of the public lands of the
United States is the greatest piece of
political villainy which has ever
cursed this country. and this alone
should drive out of power the political
party which aided and abetted it.
1t has often been denounced in the
press and upon the stump, but the
enormity of the steal and the masni-
tude of the wrong has rarely ever
been properly made known to the
people. We all know in a general
way that our lands have been stolen
from US by one device and another.
But the amount of this robbery
and the wealth it represents, is not
known. And the worst of it all, is
that this land is being accumulated
in the hands of foreign capitalists,
who have no interest whatever in
this people, except the money which
can be made out of their invest
ments. Of late this greed and ra-
paciiy upon the part of railroads and
capitalists has became SO great, that
well-glounded alarm is felt, and this
has taken shape in appeals to Con-
gress to check the Ubiquitous sys-
tenn under which these robberies
have become possible. In order to
show where our land has gone to,
into whose hands it has fallen, the
following partial list may be of in
terest:

Further Explanations.

The Port Townsend Aryu< copies
the article in the STANDARD of the - h
ult. relating to the Gospel Ship Eran-
gel and adds few words Of its own,
which we append. 1t will be seen
that tho "exP'anaiion' has rot
placed the matter in HE new liz t ill.,
tended, but that those VINO have bad
the best opportunity for forming a
correct opinion agree substantially
with the writer of the article III The
S. +. Chronicle and regard the whole
transaction as a fraud. 1t Is Just
such acts of prominent leaders in the
church that brings religion into re-
proach and constitute the greatest
stumblins-blocks to the progress OF
! earliest inquirers. "A tree is
known by its fruits and a man by
his acts:
We may add that the action oil
MIR. Ludlow has been and is con-
sidered a disgrace to the Church
and that the statement about the as
sistance being in the shape Of
loans" is altogether to thin. Tie
wheel in the pilot house of the Fran
gel bears u metal plate on which on
is inscribed the fact that it was doh.
ated by an eastern evangelical socie.
ty; and we doubt not a similar show.
ing could be made in regard to 9th.
er contributions if it were possible
to ascertain the exact amounts and
manner of making the gifts. We
saw a copy of the pamphlet for
aid to build the gospel ship,
and there was nothing in i,
about personal" loans; it was ar
appeal to "give unto the Lord.
Mr.. Ludlow owes the public full
itemized statement of receipts fol
that object, and it is our humble
opinion be would have made is long
ere this had he been able to do so Will
any credit to himself. He had been
aware surely of the universal and
scathing criticisms passed upon the
matter. If we were Judge of the court
that keeps him in his present official
position he should make the state
ment or be kicked out. 1t is said
that Judge Greene, on being taker
to task about the matter by Bishop
Paddock, excused Ludlow's actor
by saying that the amounts used from
contributions were comparatively
small. That strikes US as about or
q par with the story OF the servant

Iblainc'> Chances.

As near IA can be estimate from
the personal preferences expressed
hy delegates to the National Repub-
lean Convention, and the instruc-
tons Of State Conventions, Blaine
viii have on the first ballot 1863 votes,
Arthur 40. Elmunds 76, Logan "A ,
SHERMAN % and Hawley II, leaving
- doubtful, besides conte sted dele
cations from Kentucky Florida and
Virginia, which give al aggregate OF
10 for Blaine, and Il for Arthur, in
cluded in the above totals. 1t will
be seen that Blaine stands before
the Convention substantially as
Grant did in 1850, with this differ
ence, while the Sphinx was the first
and only choice OF an INSCRIPTIONS
set of ring politicians bent on plum
der, Blaine is as he was then the IA
yori,e Of the rank and file Of the par
iy. This, however, does not ausur
success any more firmly than it did
when The immortal BOG sent then
names down to Infamous renOwn.
1t is hardly probable that the scat
terins votes will go 10 him on sub
sequen, ballot. The almost univer-
sal precedent has been for union
on some candidate in the back
ground. whose prominence has not
served to antagonize the discordant
elements.
In 1876 Blaine lacked "a votes Of
the number to nominate, in 1880
about the same number before the
break for Garfield. While in this
contest he will be nearer the goal
there is 10y no means an assurance
from it that lie will be the Republi'
can nominee.

Territorial Items.

AT the Cheney session of Judge
Vineyards Court in April, there were
l05 cases.
Al. Thornton and Mrs. Matthews
living near Vancouver, have been
arrested on suspicion of having MUIR
dered John Matthews, about ten
days ago.
There were 139 patients ut the
Territorial Hospital for the Insane
at Steilacoom, on The first of April.
One has since died and one been
discharged, leaving 1877 there at the
present time.
Many of the fruit trees now in
bloom will die the first warm weather
we have, says the Walla Walla
Statesman. The bark is dead on a
great many, and many trees that have
thousands of blossoms have hardly
two inches OF bark on them.
The Whatcom RcreiHe is reliably
informed that San Francisco parties
have bonded forty acres from Wat
son Hodge, on the west end of the
Samish peninsula, adjoining the new
town of Atlanta on which extensive
coal bunkers will soon be con-
structed. furthermore, that a rail-
road will be built from Atlanta to
the Conner coal and iron mines, on
the Skugit, and the output therefrom
will be shipped from the bunkers at
Atlanta. This is indeed good news,
not only for the Samish and Belling-
ham bay country, but for the entire
lower Sound.
Billy Meyers, we'll known in Walla
Walla, has made an important dis.
covery on Puget Sound. For some
time past he noticed that the oyster
diggers of the Sound did their dredg-
ing in shallow water, and having
been, when boy, among the oyst or
men of the east. he learned that the
best oysters were taken from deep
water. He then reasoned that the
same rule should apply to the Sound.
A friend was taken into confidence,
and the two sent east for q deep
water oyster dredge. On its arrival
the pair sailed to Hoods canal be.
tween Port Gamble and Seabeck,
on began dredging in twenty. five
fathoms of water. The result was
most gratifying, as oysters the size
OF eastern bivalves were fshed up
by the bushel. They made hasty
soundings of the bed. aud found it
to be about three miles in extent.
Several bushels of oysters we're
taken to Seattle, and pronounced
superior to any yet found.
Mr.. E. Meeker writes to the
Portland Journal of Commerce: eve
are now in receipt of weekly cables
from London that for six weeks have
reported dull and declining marks,
which is the fact, but no reference
has been made to the English hop
crop prospects. 1t is too early to
make any estimates of the crop pros
pect in any part of the older hop
districts, particularly that of Eng.
land, where it is well known that
the only approximate estimate of
the hop crop can be made after the
crop is harvested" To this we
may add that our latest mail advices
from London describe the condition
in the galdens as getting we'll for
ward. Most planters we're dressing
the hills, and few gardens had al
ready been poled. Mr.. Meeker
adds: "Our Puyallup valley hop
crop is very promising, and we will
doubtless raise million and q half
lbs. this year. About one thousand
bAles of tho incoming crop have been
contracted for by growers to San
Francisco dealers at fifteen cents per
pound, delivered at Puyallup."

Think.

Every poor man in the country,
whether farmer, mechanic, laborer,
or otherwise, should read the follow
ing figures prepared by the New
York Times, the great leading Re-
publican paper of tho country. 1t
shows by comparison what heavy
tax people ore called upon to pay in
order to protect o few manufactures
For instance, q broad cloth dress
suit which costs only $50 in New
York costs only $22 in London.
A heavy business suit which costs
$50 in New York, costs but $13 in
London.
A spring serge overcoat which
costs 500 in New York, costs but
$3.50 in London.
A winter beaver overcoat which
costs $35 in New York, but $14.6O in
London.
A silk hat which cost SIS in New
Y FORK costs but So in London.
These articles altogether cost III
New York $14O. In London they
cost but SCI. The man who buys
these clothes, therefore, in New
York. pays $40 more for them than
he could buy them for in London.
What causes this difference in the
prices of the two cities?
Our tariff.
No one will dispute, that, with
the tariff removed, the same goods
could be purchased as cheaply in
New York as in London, at least as
cheaply plus the freight rates be-
tween the two cities.
The man who pays, therefore, $40
for clothes in New York, really buys
SOL worth of clothes, on which he
pays $79 taxes.
And where do these taxes go?
If the goods are manufactured in
this country, not one cent reaches
the Treasury. It is simply $40
taken by law from the man that
buys SCI worth of clothes, and given
to the man who grows wool and the
man who makes cloth.
If tho goods are manufactured
abroad, $40 goes to q Treasury
which does not need it and which
can raise all the revenue it requires
on whisky, tobacco and articles of
luxury.
In either case the purchaser of the
clothes gets absolutely nothing for
the $79 of the $40 which he spends.
If, on buying the clothes, be had
to pay SCI to the clothier, and SO
directly to q tax collector, how long
would he stand such extortion?
In result there is not particle of
difference between that system and
the present tariff system, according
to which he is thus unnecessarily
and exorbitantly taxed, not only on
his clothing, but on nearly every
other necessary of life.
How long will the people of a
country which claims to be free sub
NIT to this legalized robbery, which
those who uphold it, and grow fat
upon it, are pleased to call "Pro.
tective" tariff?
