despite civil service rules and the
Presidents well-detined views on often
sive partisanship. These valiant
knights find a most faithful and trust
ing Sancho. in Mr.. Kuhn, of Jefferson,
who has never lost faith in the possi-
billty that custOm-house lightning
might, in the fullness of time and the
perversity of the U. S. Senate, be d.
verted to his rod, which has been con-
stantly poised in cloudland. Whether
he obtains his domain of Barataria, or
not. he has shown a fealty deserving
of success by wheeling his island
into line four months before the deci.

fortunes Of war.
The COmmOner is expecting too
much when it demands that the Old
Timers shall remain silent while it per
sists in booming the only man it ac-
knOwledges as an acceptable standard
bearer. The party is too large, and
has too much sound material for con-
gressional timber, to pin its faith and
hope to any mans cOat-tail. 1t is
composed largely of men who have
been true to conviction amid all the
disappointments of repeated defeat,
men who have kept the flag flying I'M
til the justice of the cause it represents
has received general recognition.
They do not propose to remain mute,
now, when questions within the party,
involving its welfare and success, are
matters of vital inheritance.

Yakima City, Judge J. R. Lewis is har-

One of the men was thrown into the

Thomas Marden, brother of George
Marden, who was drowned in the

there. Thomas Marden, who is mate

brother as before stated, but was I'M
able to reach him.
A man who has returned from the
front says that the demand for men
still continues, and remarks that while
coming from the summit to the Greene
river some two hundred men were met
with packs on their backs going in to
work. On the other side of the noun
tains men were leaving. 1t seems al
most impossible to get laborers to work

continues.

we'll known mariner, together with his
his cook, by natives on the island OF
Bouganville, one of the Soloman

THE PEOPLE SHOULD RULE.-The
Puget Sound Mail, stated few weeks
ago that the Democratic Committee of
Skagit county had decided not to call
q convention to nominate delegates to
the Territorial Convention, but that
the committee would at the proper
time appoint representatives to said
body. We thought at the time that
this was rather an m-DemOcratic way
of arriving at the will of the people,
and it seems that this opinion is shared
by some of the citizens most interested,
for in communication to the Mail,
"A Democrat" propounds these peril
nent inquiries: is the Nail author
lied to speak for the committee?
Does that committee intend to APP
point delegates to the Territorial Con-
ventiOn? If so, would not that course
be more dictatoIial than Democratic?
Is it foregone conclusion that {. 5.
Voorhees, is to be renominated? If
such be the case, would it not be better
before jumping at that conclusion,
to ascertain, so far as possible, if the
people (not the Democrats alone) are
satisfied with the acts of our present
Delegate" The correspondent favors
a mass meeting at some central point
to elect delegates.

realize that the speedy and cheap
transportation enjoyed the past five
years ha, been the means Oi greater
progress than had been made i'll the
quarter of century preceding the
completion of the transcontinental
line, and the main HOY, vi ,lc farmers
of Walla Walla to-day for rates that
will enable them to place their wheat
in foreign markets at Il profit, is in
the completion oil the Cascades Divi-
sion of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
The howl of political claquers against
this company now passes at its true
estimate. 1t is regarded H. simply the
claptrap of the dclnagogur, who seeks
to subordinate reason To- passion and
influence votes 10y ar"u>lng an UNJUST
prejudice The origin of the forfeiture
movement should have carried with it
its own condemnation, springIng as 1t
did from the bitter rivalry between So
attic and Tacoma and the very fact
that reason was swaycd 80 much as to
make the whole Territory bob to the
Seattle kite, should be constant
warning against the schemes Of politi-
cal mountebanks and an edmonton
to cultivate the virtues of prudence
and moderation.
Finally, the Nugget simply lies when
it asserts that this paper tried to de-
feat Mr. Voorhees, two years ago. If it
had done so, he would not have filled
the Office of Delegate. The STAND
ARDS views on forfeiture, gave it an
influence in certain quarters that
could be swayed by no other means
than a free, outspoken, candid and
consistent advocacy Of other princi-
pies, of which Mr.. Voorhees, was be-
lieved to be the exponent.

PATIENCE CEAsING TO BE A VIRTUE
At last the people are beginning to
awaken to a realization of the fact
that our judiciary should come in for
liberal measure of the reform" adj
vocated in various other quarters.
The argus in noting the candidacy of
Judge Hoyt in connection with the
Congressional nomination declares
that no man who has persisted in run
ming bank while holding position
on the bench and passing judgment
upon many matters in which he has
an indirect if not direct interest, need
expect the votes of the people; and
now comes the RerciWe with an
earnest petition that Judge Greene be
displaced to make room for somebody
physically able to discharge the duties
of the Office. On account of failing
eyesight and ill-health he has been I'M
able to attend to the duties of his Office
for several months, and the business
in the Snohomish and Seattle courts is
in an exceedingly muddled condition
as result. The Judges disability is a
matter of regret, in which he has had
the full sympathy of the people, but it
is expecting altogether too much to al.
low the interests of the whole people
of the Third District to suffer from
this intirmity. 1t would be far better
to pension the Judge for life, ii a lib
eral salary has not been enough COM
pensation for his services, than to per.
nit the interests of litigants and the
rights of those subject to trial, to be
sacrificed and ignored. The patience
of the people in times past has been a
marvel, but it is more than probable
that, like the patient beasts of burden,
they have not realized their power OF
they would have had a change in both
these positions long ago.

The Noggei man ask. Through his
p. o. window" If Mr. Voorhees, is not
good enough for Il candidate why does
not Mr.. Parker or Mr.. Murphy name
some one that is?" Well, that's just
what il the difference between us. We
think that it is for the representatives
OF the party when they meet in cOnven-
ton to select the most available cam
didate from the party at large. We
are not in favor of putting upa job and
pinning the fortunes of the party to
the coat-tail of any individual There
are many Democrats in this Territory
who are in every way fit to fill the Of
flee of Delegate and we simply say
that the way to success is to see to it
that we have a fair and full convention,
prepared to make the best possible Sc
lection from the material at our dis
posal, and for that purpose We con-
slider that the whole party is our field
to select from, and that We should
make our selection without reference
to the claims or prctenses of any in
individual. Upon this matter nothing
better was ever said that the comment
which Gen. Grant makes upon Gen.
Meadc's disintercsted offer, when the
former was placed at the head of the

ENLARGED IDEAS.-It seems that
the Pcnitentiary Commissioners have
become much more toaey in their ideas
of propriety since adopting a plan for
the proposed building at Walla Walla,
and have substituted new one. with
an Italian front, a handsome cOrnice,
window copings and a portico. The
imposing structure is evidently intend
ed to be made a matter of pride to its
inmates, who will view the outer world
from the ornamentcd windows of the
classical front, while the portico will
doubtless be used by the more favored
cOnvicts for II promenade after work.
ing hours, or for dignitied repose when
Luna asserts her mild reign and pours
the balm of sweet sympathy in crushed
and bleeding hearts. The taxpayer,
who foots the bills for this luxurious
establishment, has no need for such
diversion and may take his siesta on
the back porch, or by the kitchen win
dow. The moon will shine as brightly
for him, and he will only find wanting
those essentials which can be freely
obtained by breach of law that con-
stitutes felony. The rock of which
the building is to be constructed is to
be transported by the highest priced
railroad on the continent-owned by a
people who let the Bunker Hill Monu-
ment for hire-from quarry near
East Portland, while there is an album
dance of as good material near at hand
in the Blue Mountains, and available
at moderate cost 1t appears from
these changes that the Penitentiary is
to be made pet institution that will
require vigorous nursing before it ar
rives at maturity. The next Legisla-
ture will undoubtedly be called upon
to shake the sack for the means to paw
for all this extra expense.
