The Tacoma Ledger is fruitful with
interviews. II recently had one With
a prominent gentleman of Seattle.
Tha. gentleman may have been our
friend Mr.. Mcknight, attorney for the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
Il doesn't matter. Referring TO the
effect of the agitation ia this county
and elsewhere in favor of FORGETTING the
unearned land grant to that company
the Seattle gentleman Is quoted "a ray
ing: THE only thing they accom-
plished was 10 raise such hullabaloo
about the ears of the secretary OF the
Interior that the acceptance of the y
miles of line built from Tacoma east
Was DELAYED until at least after the ad-
iournrnsnt Of Congress" This Isnt
the first time that noise has disturbed
burglars and robbers IN their attempt
to get away with property that didn't
belgng n them. A. fniure time. after
Congress stall have adjourned, II may
be worth while to review the benefits
that have rcsnited from the aforesaid
" hullabaloo." Ii may, however. be re-
marked en- PEASANT that had 1t accom-
plished nothing more than TO postpone
acceptance of the Puyallup coal road
as section of the Cascade Branch, and
cause investigation to be made Of the
facts and Law bearing upon the claim
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
| pany to a large area of the best coal
and timber lands west of the Cascade
Mountains for building the aforesaid
local coal road, snch result would
amply Justify the efforts OF this people
TO save these lands from the greed of
this company. IL has called halt.
Those coal and timber lands do not be-
long to the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company they have not been earned
by it: they cannot possibly be earned
under existing laws. 1t has no more
legal or equitable right To patents there
for than any other citizen or corporation
in the United States, and IL patents are
issued to that company they will, in
stead of being evidence of title, be evi
dence of intolerable outrage, iDjustics
and fraud. The longer the delay. and
the more thorough the investigation, the
greater the probability that the illegal
claims of that company will be over
turned aud set aside. This is but one
item, hsweyeg, OF what has been al
ready accomplished toward saving to
the people the remnant of public lands
not already given away to or stolen by
domestic and foreign corporations and
monopolists. We again assure the
L,dger that the question OF unearned
land grant forfeiture il not purely
local, either in origin, purpose or appll
| cation

The Seattle Herald, according 20 its
own oftrepeated story, is paper the
virtue of which has been tested over
and over again by Chinese. railroad and
other bribe givers, bat according to pub
lie belief is a paper without virtue, a
paper ever in quest of brides. but pa
per which no one acquainted with il
would care to bribe. This paper con-
stan,ly snuffs bribery II the sfr. and
when il isn't getting anything itself 1t
imagines its contemporaries are. Its
latest supposed discovery in this direc-
ton is to the effect that the Posi- INTEL
IIoESCEa has been bribed :" TO take the
stand il has done in behalf of temper-
ance, chastity and all the other cardinal
virtues As the Herald chooses TO ex-
press 1t. Did We not occasionally deny
Limitations of this character, tue pub
lie would have some reason 10 believe
them, aud il would be misled In
consequence and this journal injured.
This, then. shall be one Of the occasions
for a denial of its vile inslnuations and a
setting of ourself rlght. No one mas
given any one connected With this paper
any money or aay valuable c0nsidera-
ton whatever for the stand 1t has taken
in behalf of temperance. chastity and
all the other cardinal virtues = nor has
any one promised it anything; nor has
il asked anything nor does 1t expect
anytning-except the approval OF the
best element In society. We may also
90 further in this connection, and de-
clare that the PosT-ISTELLIGEscRR Is

ton, to any ticket. or to any candidate
In the csming municipal campaign. The
Posi- Is essentially a
newspaper, and as such it will continue
as long rs IL Is under its present manage
ment. II is independent In all things.
Its influence Is always thrown In favoi
| of the right, without regard to fear Oh
favor, and from this rule there has been
no deviation in the past and will be
none in the future. This paper will
support such candidates only as it knows
to be men of sound Judgment, good
principle, Intelligence, courage ana gen
eral worth, and it believes that IN doinE
| so IT will generally be found on the othel
side from the Herald.

the trains no business session was held
till o'clock. the mOrnisg hour being
spent in religions exercises, led by Rev.
Z. Weston, the first Baptist minister of
Washington Territory. About twenty
five delegates frem the lower Sound
went up by the Messenger. leaving
Seattle at $50 Thursday morning, and
arrived at PuyaIlup Just in time to
prove the exceileney of Seattle apPe-
titles AT the sumptuous tables of the bop
growers. Nineteen churches, from VIC
toria to Oystsrville. were represented,
and an enthusiastic meeting Is ex-
pectsd. Daily sessions will be held
until Monday, when a Baptist Conven-

churches in Western Washington and
British Columbia.
Aggressive mission work has been
done the past year, seven church edi-
fees being built. or extensively re-
paired, as at Centreville, and two Others
are already under contract.
Rev. j. G. Baker, superintendent OF
Missions for the North Pacific Coast

Senator Logan paid his respects to
the would-be dictators OF the Republi-
can party in vigorous language in his
speech at Bangor on Tuesday evening,
and in SO doing appealed to the princi-
pie of fair play which is instructive in
the mind of every manly man. He
struck the keynote in saying that the
American people will not suffer dicta
ton that they are the rulers, and when
their choice is fairly expressed they in
tend ID shall be regarded. Neither did
he miss ID in saving that, "if there are
those who claim to belong to Us who are
unwilling to go along with US, they will
be found standing upon the waysids
when the procession has passed By" Ii
is the sort of talk we love to hear, and
1t is this spirit which will put more
States In the Republican column next
November than have been thus arrayed
since 1864.

ThEC CITY OF COLUMBUS DISASTER.
Suits for Damages Brought Against the
Owners of the steamer.
BosToN. Dec. 4.

BosToN. Dec. 4.
In the petition for Limitation of liability in
the matter of the steamship City of Columbus
before the U. S. District Court and Fawcett
ct. al. against the Boston & Savannah steam
ship company, james Brown against the
same, Mary Walker ct al. against the same,
Judge Nelson has rendered the opinion that
the limited liabilities statute extends as we'll
to claims for personal injuries suffered by
passengers, and for loss of life by psssen-
gers. The question is whether the owners
of the City of Columbus are liable at all for
the consequences of the stranding and sink
ing of that steamship, and, if liable, whether
their liability is to be limited to the value of
the vessel and her pending freight Pro.
ceedings hive been instituted by the owners
and are now pending in this court to obtain
the benefit of the statue of limitation. In
the meantime further prosecution against the
owners, of suits of damage growing out of the
disaster, whether in this court or in the
courts of the State must be stayed. The
insurance effected by the owners of the
steamship snd freight is not an interest in
such steamship and freight which they are
bound to surrender for the benefit of the
claimants within the meeting of the revised
statues and it was ordered accordingly.
