But it should be remembered that at
least 400 women voted two years ago.
The highest estimates put the women's
vote at 1900, the lowest 1870; so 400
may be considered nearly the correct
figures. Deducting these from the
total vote. would make the male vot-
ing population 4I99. or in round num-
bers 200. The increase in the male
adult population in two years, there
fore, is little over 200 and to these
must be added the very large immi-
grafton since May 1, who were not en-
titled to vote 1t is fair estimate
that 1000 men over p years of age
have moved into Seattle since the
summer began. and probably as many
more in King county outsideof Seattle.

Robert Russell died just as he had
passed on fife's highway 1.-THE stone
that marks the highest point and when
the shadows were beginning to fall
toward the east" He belonged to the
race OF courageous men, now rapidly
passing away. who, ouistripping the
visions OF Fenimore Cooper, marched
to the Pacific coast and being unable
to go further, turned around and
founded an empire. He was
one OF the few men vet
living who properly have a light
to be classed "a pioneers. for he carse
when only brave men dared come; be-
fore regular routes of communities
ton had been established, and before
the treacherous Indian had been sub
dued. He did more than one mans
share in the work of establishing a
high civilization on these shores and
laying the foundations broad and deep
for an ideal government of the people,
by the people, for the people. The
work of these early pioneers will
probably not be fully appreciated un-
III long after the last one of
them has laid down the burden
OF life, and as time rolls on, and Wash
ington becomes an empire, the names
OF those men who brayed privation
and danger will shine forth brightly
as heroes Robert Russell did not
court fame. He led an humble life
yet among the Puget Sound pioneers,
his name will ever have an honored
place for his record is e.e1n and be
loved his fellow man. Fp. l.

have become reconciled to adopt
the loyalty possessed by nine-tenths
OF the people of the territory
against these annexation and seq

rent that there will be nothing done

on the tariff and other grave ques-
tons will undoubtedly consume
the time from now on to the close

his commendable efforts in behalf

just grounds to ask from the gen

THERE Is NO FEAR.

The session of congress is so far
advanced that there is but little
lear to be entertained that the an
nexatlon or obliteration schemes
against the fair territory of Idaho
Will be carried out. The sentiment
OF the people of the north, as far
as being annexed to Washington
territory is concerned, has materi-
ally changed since the passage OF
the woman's suffrage laws of that
territory. The Lewiston Teller,
winch has been for years one of the
ablest and foremost advocates Of
annexation of the Panhandle to
washington, has for several issues
past been as silent as the grave
upon the subject. 1t has no doubt
At last realized the true situation,
and comprehended that it is better
TO remain in Idaho as a territory
than be tackled on to Washington
as a state with its unpopular min
ing, woman suffrage and prohibi-
ZION laws. It is so with the major
scy OF the people of the north.

HONEST PROTECTION.

The question of the tariff should
be one, and is honestly one. of wa
ges only. A Philadelphia journal
says: The tariff should be Just so
high and no higher, as to protect
Americans against European labor.
That is the only protection" needed
in this country. Having thus pro-
tected the American laborer en-
gagged in manufacturing industries,
it should protect" the other more
extensive American labor not en-
ployed in manufacturing industries
by giving it an opportunity to buy
everything it needs at the lowest
possible price, and not be compelled
as at present, to buy of monopolists,
trusts or combinations. A tariff
that will honestly protect American
labor in all directions, and be suf1i-
cient for the honest and economical
administration Of the government,
is the only tariff needed in this
country.

A GOOD PENSION BILL.

Under the House amendments tc
the Senate dependent pension bill
a dependent soldier, or one over
sixty-two years of age, who has
served three months in the army
would receive a monthly pension
of about 80 cents; for six months,
about 81 80; for one year, $3 IS !;
for two years, 81 80; for three years
$40 95; for four years, $14 60.
This measure will no doubt be
heartily approved by the veterans
of the war, and will be DANGEROUSLY
opposed by summer soldiers, boun-
ty jumpers apd dead-beats who
masquerade as soldiers. It will
also be violently opposed by the
great army of pension sharks who
are generally more heard in pen
sion agitation than the soldiers
themselves, as it reduces attorney
fees from $40 to S. in each case.
The provision pensioning every
honorably discharged soldier when
sixty-two years of age, during the
remainder of his life, and making
like provision for the widows of
soldiers who have reached that age,
is a laudable action and will GER
tainly be a popular proposition.
The bill as now amended should
be passed and promptly signed by
the President.

The Mormon population, and afte,

our neighbors in the southeastern

from swallowing it or anticipating

ELECTRICITY AND WHAT IT Is,

The London Daily News says
electricity gives us the brightest
light, the lightest temperature, the
swiftest messenger and the most
potent chemical agent that we pos
sess. 1t is used for curing the sick,
it has been proposed as a substi-
tute for the ''cat,' or even the gall
lows. By its means the voice can
be transmitted to distances infn-
itely beyond the reach of speak
ing tube. It enables us to hear the
footsteps Of fly, to detect base
metal in coin, or the presence Of a
bullet in the body. We can use it
to separate the fine metallic parti-
cles from a powdered rock, to pro-
pei a boat, or drive car. Energy
from watercourse can be carried
to a distant workshop, and there
be used to plate a spoon with sill
yer, to copy an engraving, or to ex-
tract a metal from its ore. Finally,
it has recently been proposed to
utilize the same power for the kill
ing Of cattle, and for the treatment
of sewage. Yet we know nothing
about its nature. But scientific
men have the good sense to accept
its service, make good use of what
they can understand, and leave
what they cannot understand. It
would be well if they all exercised
the same common sense in regard
to spiritual forces. The man who
refused to make use of electricity
until its mystery was explained
would be as much a fool as the
man who rejects the gospel because
he cannot understand its mysteries.
