The Right Kind Ct Talk.

The Palouse Gazette, in speaking
of recent article in the ARGUS on
the Delegateship, says:
"We feel safe in informing the
ARGUS that eastern y Washington is
asking no favors aside from tie priv
ilege of working and voting fer the
nominee of the republican convention.
Had western Washington been able
to have agreed on man two years
ago the east would have presented 10
candidate Give Us man this time
from western Washington half as
good as the one We offered you two
years ago and he viii not be slain in
the house of his friends in this part
of the territory"
With such generous spirit preva-
lent in eastern Washington, there is
little doubt that the next republican
nominee for Delegate will be from
Puget Sound, and that he will 90

proven the statementsiof the Union
about the destrabllity of the proposed

democrats concede that the JEFF. Davis

Cremation is steadily growing in
favor in this country Only a few
days ago, the remains of Mr.. Plymp-
ton, associate editor Of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, were cremated
at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and this
week those of the noted Dio Lewis
are to be subjected TO the same pro-
cess.
We believe the time is not far dis
tant when this manner of disposing
of the dead viii Be very popular in
this country. Why not? Properly
considered there is nothing horrible
OF repulsive about it. Nofre touches
the body; 1t is merely subjected to
such an intense heat that it falls TO
ashes. This Is oxidization b. quick
process. The decay ii the grave is
the same, only it is accomplished
more slowly. The latter is in the
majority OF cases Just as complete
after q time as the former. In view
of these facts we are of opinion that
the time will come when not only OF
sanitary grounds cremation will be
popular, but because the process of
oxidation viii be less repulsive than
that under other conditions.

1t is said that the Yaquina Bay
railroad eastward through Oregon is
being backed 10y the Chicago &
Northwestern which is pushing rap
idly westward through Wyoming, and
that these roads will meet, thus form
ing another transcontinental line.
The Vanderbilts are said to be inter-
ested in the scheme. \ branch line
to Portland is also thought to be IN
der contemplation. 1t is highly pro-
bable, however, that it VIII be 10 some

Portland has already suffered by
the building OF this railway i short

will the damage not BE when extend

the main line direct to the coast and
only a short distance south, it would
get but little comfort out of branch

mention Of Senator Logan as presi-
Dental candidate in 1888. There is
not the least possibility of the Sena-

The National Debt.

In speaking of the national debt
and what the government is doing
in reducing 1t, the st. Louis Repub.
Hcan says:
The recent calling in of$15,O00, ,OOC
8 per cent. bonds by the secretary
of the treasury for payment makes
total of 500, 100000 bonds called in
this year, and shows that the ad-
ministration Is inclined to follow
the policy of the Morrison resolu-
ton, even though that resolution
failed to become a rule on the Sec
retary. The bonds called for pay
ment are 8 per cents, payable at
the pleasure of the government.
There are $l7O,oOO,OOO, of these out
standing and the surplus in the
treasury will be devoted to the
payment of them till the whole sum
shall have been extinguished.
After them come the A per cent.
bonds (25O,OOO,OOW which are not
redeemable till five years from
September; after them the $64, ,623,-
600 issued to the Pacific railroad,
which fall due nine to thirteen
years from this time; after them
the $737,7l9,0O0 4 per cents. which
do not fall due till after twenty-one
years; and after these the $14,OOO,-
600 navy pension fund per cent.
bonds. All together these several
classes make up a debt of about
sl,236,OOO,OO0. The highest limit
the bonded debt ever reached was
$2,3S1, 100000 in 1866. More than
$1,0O0,0O0,OOO of it has been paid,
therefore, in twenty-one years.

The Earthquake.

The evening Of Aug 3lst., is
rendered memorable, by one of the
most severe earthquakes that has
ever visited any part of the U. s.
since those of 1865 and 1863, which
visited the Pacific coast
The eliminating point Of the
catastrophe appears to be at or
about Charleston, s. G. The prin.
cipnl business portion of the city Is
destroyed, and fully two thirds of
the residences are either wholly or
partially wrecked.
Ten distinct shocks occurred be.
tween $3.50 p. M. Of Aug, 81 and
noon of next day. From the lat
est and most reliable accounts
from thirty to forty persons were
killed and more than one hundred
severely injured.
The vibrations of the shock were
felt all over the eastern portion OF
the U. s. extending from the Gulf
to the lakes and westward to the
Rocky Mountains.
1t is thought that fully three
fourths of Charleston will have tC
be rebuilt before it can be inhabit.
