It probably never entered the
heads OF those who are bowling
"Major Armstrong Is the railroad
candidate" that he wns the choice
Of King county, the head and front
Of the forfeiture craze, that he was
supported by Judges Lewis and Ja-
cobs who made the fight to admit
the Adams Nakima-fOrfeiture-dele-
alton, that the Pierce county delega-
tiOn, which was the railroad delega-
tiOn In the convention, II there was
one, never gave vote for Major
Armstrong, but voted twenty-five
times for Bradshaw and, after that
gentleman's name had been with
drawn, voted sOlidly and continu-
dusly for Judge HOyt, to and includ-
ing the last ballot.
When Armstrong was nominated
he was mathematical betause ''he Is
carpet-hagger." After the nOmi-
nation Of Voorhees,, who came TO the
territory with an empty gripsark
two years after Armstrong did, the
carpet-mgger lost Its for, e and re-
SOFT Is had to the railroad. We are
very certain IN It II the truth could
he ascertained It would be found
that the ailrOad does not want
either Armstrong or Voorhees, In
congress, and that whatever inter
est Is taken In Territorial politics is
taken 10 protect itself against the at
tacks Of demngOgues. Any one pos
sessed Of common sense who will
read the platforms adopted by the
republican and democratic territOr-
ial conventions will rise from the pc
rusal convinced that neither was
drawn In the interest Of the North
ern Pacific railroad company. The
democratic platform demands the
immediate and unconditional for
feiture Of the land grant, while the
republican platform proposes the eX-
tension Of the grant for the Cascade
division with Unerous conditions.
Between the two evils the railroad
naturally chooses the least. Does
any sensible person blame 1t for do
ing so? The vital issue in the pres
ent campaign Is the construction Of
railrOad across the Cascade noun
tains. Voters who believe that such
a road Is needed, and that II can BE-
more readily obtained by extending
the grant to the Northern Pacific
than by any other proposed plan,
will vote Tor Armstrong, while those
who believe that such n road would
be detrimental to the interests Of the
territory, that II would he an unbear-
able expense, will vote for Voorhees,.

Don't be lazy, my boy. Fly around
and do something, II it's only to
pound sand. Put In all your minutes
In honest, hard work, tranquil medi-
tatiOn, or some healIhful recreation.
Easy to mediate? BE careful, my
boy, or you'll choose the hardest lot
Of all. A lazy man stretches him
self out In the sun and dOzes, but he
doesn't mediate. He doesn't think.
Edison, sitting beside his firrleSs
forge, with his idle hands folded In
his lap, may apparently be as listless
as the fellow sitting on u log in the
sunshine, dreamily "fishing for
cat" But the telephone, the electric
light, the quadrupleX Instrument,
came from the dreams Of one, while
the other only eat, hes the Agne, and
II serves him just right. Why, my
boy, you waste time enough to build
a house. We waste time lecause II
slips by 50 pleasantly. We can't
realize 1t. We have wondered some
times IL man had In his room a
great glass, an hour glIss loaded with
his sands Of life, 50 that II might be
before him every time that he EN-
tered that room; II he knew that no
grain Of the steadily dropping sand
could he turned hack; II he could
watch 1t dimlni-hing above and pill
ing up below; II, when he closed
his eyes, he knew il would run
steadily, no faster, no slower; II,
when became home from u journey,
he could see how much 1t had
run away; II he could stand before
1t, held ny strange fascination, and
watch its running sands; II he could
always realize IN It those grains Of
sand numbered the seconds Of his
life; II he could see that, sleeping Or
waking, going or staying, sick or
well, eating or drinking, working nr
idling, remOrsely the sands run
thrOugh-we wonder II he would
not improve the time better? We
wonder how many Of those sands
would turn to gold rs they passed
through, by the alchemy Of his IN
dustry? All, well, do you think
such a steady, constant reminder Of
the shOrtness Of life and the short
ness Of time would have any effect
upon you? Foolish youth As sOOn
as the novelty Of the thing wore of
you would not mind 1t a cents
worth. Why, when the old Egyp-
tians used to carry In the skeletons
at their fpasts, did II make anybody
dismal? Not Il hit Of il! 1t made
them all the jOllier "Scnd that

Robert Wilson, indicted some time sincepn
the charge of committing rape on his slfp-
daughter, Annie NJ. Wilson, on December 2,
1888, was brought from jail into the Criminal
Court this morning.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart stated
that the Government had made every effort 10
procure the attendance OF the prosecuting
witness, but failed. Her mother had Visited
the District Attorneys oflice the other day and
stated that her daughter had left home and
she did not know where she had gone.
His Honor suggested that this might be one
OF those cases OF willing rape.
Mr.. Taggart said that he did not know how
that might be, but he did not think, under the
circumstances, II was right to keep the man
confined In jail, and was content to have him
released on his personal recognizance.
The Court directed that he BIO released on
giving personal surety In the sum OF $500.
