The CaH has a humble bee in his
bonnet He has been using the goad
so helyily on Post Master Mcnamara
and Sheriff Sheehan and Collector
Brooks that he has stirred up the
animals" and be thinks he has found
veritable hornets nest. He has un
doubtedly found one, but he is prob
ably mistaken as to which camp it is
in. As to the news portion Of the
CaiFs article we have no knowledge
II certain youag Republicans have
prepared to buy the ARGUS or to
bolt their party and have chosen to
communicate the matter to the Dem
ocratic organ before they have made
proposition, or outlined any definite
purpose then they are too silly to de-
serve a moments notice. That some
hangers on in the Republican ranks
are dissatisfied with the course of the
ARGUS we are we'll aware for we have
never named for any Office any other
but good and pure men and of course
there is an element in all parties
which much dislike such course
That are few base, corrupt men to
be found who would be glad to pos-
sess themselves of the ARGUS without
paying a reasonable equivalent there.
for is probably true. After eleven
years of hard toll the ARGUS under
the management of the present ed;-
tor has grown to fine property,
paying 6 reasonable profit on the in-
vestment with an excellent prospect
of growth. We are giving steady
employment to seven persons and
are therefore the third largest manu-
featuring enterprise in Port Town
| send. As the ARGUS Is not tor sale
We may incidentally say that there is
probably no better investment in
Port Townsend than the ARGUS
stock. We are not at all concerned
| as to the threat to start another Re
publican paper. We have never
claimed a monopoly of patronage or
| of occupation of the field. Let any
journalistic ability fire up and open
out the values and do its pre- .tiest
for success. 1t will not interfere in
the least with us. IL any respecta-
bic member OF the republicans has
grievance he can do as he likes,
come to US in a manly way or sneak
around to the CdH to give the party
black eye.

Speaking of the new chief justice,
our di' pitches say: The nomlna-
ton O. -Ielville Weston Fuller of
Chicago as chief justice of tho Uni
ted States is regarded here with un-
bounded satisfaction by leading men
OF both parties. Fuller in every re
spect is fit to fill that high Office.
He was born in Augusta, Name,
February Ii, 1888, and graduated at
Bowdyn in 1858, Minister Phelps
being his classmate. After studying
law at Benger and attending lectures
at Hsrvard, Fuller come to Chicago.
His ability was speedily recognized
and for thirty years he has won dis
tinction among the foremost of the
bar. He has baen prominent at sew
eral democratic conventions, and in
1860 was selected to deliver the ad-
dress to Stephen A. Douglass. In
his practice in the supreme court Of
the United States he has frequently
como in contact with Edmunds,
Thurman and other great lawyers,
bui has never failed to hold his own
against the greatest of them. Heis
familiar with the decisions of the
court, and especially OF all constitu-
tional questions. When Fuller was
informed of his nomination he vas
overwhelmed with surprise and re-
duested that he be not pressed for an
extended interview, simply stating
that he would accept the nomination

The election of Gen. Joe. Il. John

bership, according to the letter of the
constitution, but certainly not ac-
eording to its spirit Joe Johnston
was one of the bravest and manIiest
ana noblest of the Confederate Off

more dangerous foe to ON. nation in
the hour of its intensest peril. That

If Ex-Gov. j. p. st. John and
other prohibitionists would let the
tariff alone, they might show some
consistency and obviate the charge
that they are disguised demos
Gratis. The tariff has nothing to do
with prohibiting the liquor traffic
We are not caring so much about
the prohibition part of their party.
The old parties will, one or both, ac
cept the prohibition issue whenever
it is leading issue in the minds Of
the people. What we are concerned
about is the false face these men
wear. They come before the coun-
try with nominal issue on prohibi-
tion, but enter with all the zest pos
sible into the discussion of the tariff
question This is what proves them
to be democratic emissaries. We
hate an ambushed warfare. Why Is
not the Democratic party manly
enough to come out in open warfare
without employing this ambushed
brigade to fight its battles?

The city of Walla Walla, long

Eureka Flat. This line is under con.

to move the wheat crop by Sept. Ist.
The citizens are also considering a

900 subsidy, to be paid back to
them in freight hauling They win
undoubtedly secure this road also.
Then they viii have three roads. As
result the town is crowded. BUsi-
ness is brisk and the merchants are
all happy for they are selling goods
as never before. This is the inevi
table result, for business secures bus
mess, and the merchant reaps the
real reward of all advances in growth
or in business energy. Walla Malta
bids fair to assume her old position
as the metropolis of the Inland En-

"Uncle" Willis Lewis died in
Lewisbnrg last week, aged (as he
claimed) 101 years last week. He
was doubtless correct about his age,
because, when boy, he lived on an
adjoining farm to that of General
Washington in Virginia and remem
bered to have often seen the old
General walking and riding about
his farm. AS Washington died in
1893 " Uncle +" Willis must have been
at least ten or twelve years old to
have realized who the celebrity was.
