II the growth of Minneapolis
continues 1t will soon become the
great metropolis Of the Northwest.
1t now claims population of 19O,-
OJO, gain of 10000 the past year.
1t now does a wholesale trade of
Sl52,oOO.00O IA year.
SPEAKER CARLISLE keeps d span of
Kentucky bay horses at Washington,
which are named Sam Randall and
Bill Morrison, after the leaders of the
tariff and free trade wings of the
Democratic party. If Carlisle regard
his horses with equal favor. he must
be factional mugwump,
THE Boston Globe says that ex-
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, is
the only surviving war governor ItI
is mistaken. Ex-Governor Kirk
wood, of Iowa; ex-Gov. Hoibrook, of
Vermont. and two oY three others
whose names we don't recall at this
moment are still living.
The opponents of the capital re-
moval cannot charge Paul Schnlze,
Northern Pacific land agent, with log
rolling in the interest of Yakima. as
he has been in New York for
month and will not return for some
weeks to come. The removal prOpo-
sition comes from the people and in
their interest, as Il matter of conven-
ience.
IT is now said that tho President
wants the next Democratic National
Convention held in New York City,
and that the National Committee
have conceded to his wish. OF course
this is scheme of Mr. Cleveland to
secure his own nomination and to set
the pegs more securely to carry New
York State. What President ever
before dictated where the nominating
Convention OF a political party should
be held2
THERE is no reason why Washing
ton Territory may not show mineral
production equal to any state or ter
ritory in the nation.l 1t has it buried
IN its mountain vaults and only needs
capital and enterprise to get it out.
Through these means Montana will,
it is estimated, produce $30,000,000
ofmetals this year. Give US railroad
lines to our mines and other indus-
trial fields and Washington will soon
outstrip all other sections.
1T is reported that President Oleve-
land has discovered that he has not
yet submitted message to Congress
concerning 1.-The state of the union"
as the constitution requires. The
document he did:send in to congress
upon its assembling was only a
stump speech upon free trade in the
interest of his reelection. He is the
President of government of the
people, for the people, and by the
people, with yengenee. He is sim
ply the President of the Democratic
party to schme how he can keep 1t in
power. How long thus, o Lord
The Ellensburg Capital says that
zone of Yakima's illustrious lobby
lists was seen In Tacoma last Satur~
day night holding up lamp post
with great ability and power. " When
the press of locality engage in a
contest for the mastery in any public
project and gets down to personal
filings, it oversteps its line and SUBJ
jects itself to a loss of confidence
and respect. The gentlemen at Olym-
pia from Yakima seeking to show
the Legislature that it is in the inter
est of the Territory to transfer the
capital to the latter place, are men
above reproach and none merit such
thrusts; and paper that resorts to
them shows it has no better argu-
ments.
THERE is much criticism against
President Cleveland because of his
presentation to the Pope of Rome,
through Cardinal Gibbons, of copy
of the Constitution of the United
States on the occasion of the recent
