Loaf any OF his support tors Of two years
ago So far as can be learned but has
made many new friends who do not
hesitate to express their admiration OF
his course in Congress and their inten-
ton to support him in this campaign.
There can be no doubt Of his re-elec-
ton. The most sanguine Republicans
in this city concede his reelection but
think his majority of two years ago
will be reduced very much.
The Father Mathew Total Abstinence
society held it's first public meeting of
the season on Saturday evening in St.
Thomas hall. The meeting was well
attended. Some new names were add
ed to the roll. The meeting was very
enthusiastic throughout. The pro-
gramme was as follows: Music, Miss
Jennie Minck; select reading, Miss
Mary Lieoe; recitation, A. w. Tierney;
song, Miss Annie keenan,; recitation,
Miss Alice May; select reading, Miss
Maggie Drohan; address, A. Il. Rock.
At the completion Of the programme
Rev. Father Cotter addressed the meet
ing and briefly outlined the work of the
society for the coming year. These
public meetings shall be continued
throughout the year. The members of
the society are both earnest and, as a
rule, active workers, and all seem to be
to be determined to make the Father
Mathew society of Winona the banner
Total Abstinence society in the state.

A Triumphant March.

John Is. Aliens tour through the
territory resembles q triumphant
march Everywhere he is received
with the greatest enthusiasm, and
his splendid speeches win him votes
at every town. The Democratic
leaders are alarmed, for they have
never before had an opponent whose
armor was so near invincible.
Representative Mckinney of New
Hampshire evidently thought there
was no hereafter for the democratic
party or he would not have spoken
so freely on the subject of free trade
as he did on May 4th last. He said:
Give US free and open market
with the world, break down the bar
riers that false system has built
around US, go back once more to the
principles Of true Democracy. AS an
abstract question of right who is
there that dares to say, with his hand
upon his heart, looking to God, II
have not the right, the God-given,
inallenable right, to buy what i may
need or require wherever l can buy
it most cheaply?" Not one.

A Double Benefit.

According to the printed list Of
appointments of the Weeping will
low of the Palouse" that gentleman
is TO give Port Townsend a double
benefit. He is to speak here Friday,
Oct. 26, and Sunday, Oct. IS. Now
If Chas. has two speeches he may get
along, but if no has to divide the one
be has been delivering all over the
eastern country it will certainly be
pretty thin. We hear through our
eastern exchanges that he is using
the same old speech of the last two
campaigns with the only addition of
defence of President Cleveland.
Possibly he will give us a religious
talk on Sunday. 1t would be we'll
anyhow to have something appropri-
ate to the day. Congressman should
be careful of their example and we
should think Charles would hardly
get down to real political speaking
on Sunday, even in Port Townsend.

NASAL VOICES, CkTR6f7Fi1 kSeS
FALSE TEETH"

A prominent English woman says tie
American women all have high, shriu,
nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the const mt
twitting they get about this Nasal twang.
and yet it is a fact caused by our dry
stimulating atmosphere, and the un YER
sal presence of catarrhal difficultieS
But why should SO many OF our women
nave false teeth
That is more of poser to the English.
1t is quite impossible to account for it
except on the theory of deranged stomach
action caused by imprudence in eating
and by want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere Prevail
and end in cough and consumption " hich
are promoted by nal-nutrition induced
by deranged stomach action. The con-
dltlon is modern one, one unknown to
our ancestors who prevented the catarrh,
cold, cough and consumption by abund-
ant and regular use of what is known as
Warmers Log Cabin cough and consump-
ton remedy and Log Cabin sarsaparilla,
two old fashioned standard remedies
handed down from our ancestors, and
now exclusively put forth under the
strongest guarantees Of purity and eff
cacy by the world-famed makers of War
ner's safe cure. These two remedies
plentifClly used as the fall and winter
seasons advance. together with an occas-
ional use of Warmers Log Cabin rose
cream, to strengthen and protect the
nasal membranes, give positive assur-
ance OF fredom, both from catarrh and
those dreadful and if neglected, inevita-
Die consequences, pneumonia, lung
troubles and consumption, which SO gen.
rally and fatally prevail among our
eople.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry
Co., Iowa, served four years in the late
war and contracted a disease called con.
sumption by the doctors. He had fire.
quent hemorrhages. After using War
ner's Log Cabin cough and consumption
remedy, he says, under date of Jan. 10th,
1883: 81 do not bleed at the lungs any
more, my cough does not bother me, and
L do not have any more smothering
SPELLS" Warmers Log Cabin rose cream
cured his wife OF catarrh and she is
Sound and WELL"
OF course We do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can
be readily overcome in the manner indi-
tated.

Wisdom Extraordinary.

The following very luminous edi-
torial graced the pages of the CAL
last evening: Tho recognition of
both parties in the distribution of
government patronage is precisely
what the reformeIs have been asking
for, and it is in accordance with
policy that Secretary Endieott adopt
ed more than two years ago in deal
ing with the extensive patronage of
the various branches of the war de.
partment."
We read it over several times and
felt refreshed We were not able to
fathom its depths, however, for its
wisdom was too deep for us. Who
are the Performers" who have been
asking for the recognition of both
political parties in the distribution
of government patronage?" Surely
the CAL is not among the number,
for we remember how, just a few
weeks ago, it .howled itself hoarse be-
cause Ned Brown was copying the
tax roll and Phonnie Learned was
post Office clerk.
Surely the refornser was not Gro-
yer Cleveland, for the only way he
has recognized both parties was to
turn out all the republicans and turn
IN all the democrats That is doubt
less the recognition Of both political
parties that suits the Call.
This, however, was the plea of The
mugwump papers four years ago.
Possibly our mugwump friend, the
CdH, has decided to raise the old cry
SO as to get some plea for an ap-
pointment by President Harrison
next season. 1t would be so bad
if the reform administration had
only remembered its pledges to said
mugwrmps and have given a few Of
them offices, but it did not, and SO
the party of reform can hardly be
credited with a sincere desire to ad-
vance that idea.

TWO PICTURES.
Chauncey N. Depew's View of Grover
Cleveland.

Il know Nh. Cleveland very WE'LL"
said Mr.. Depew yesterday, "and like
him personally. He was a plodding
country lawyer up to the time he be-
came governor, and. like myself,
worked for corporations. He was
too busy rolling up a small surplus
to pay much attention to public
affairs, and when he accidentally be-
came president he took to the White
House with him his country lawyer
habits. He would give his personal
attention only to such cases as pres
ented testimony. Such small matters
as foreign affairs, finance and civil
service reform he would leave to his
secretaries. Now, on a pension claim
there was the testimony, and the
country lawyer was at home. Fiaal-
ly he found himself the ouly student
in the best free trade college in the
word, the present cabinet, with Pro-
fessOr Lamar as senior member Of
the faculty, and all the other profess
sors in the same class. They edu
Gated him i'll the theories of John
Stuart Mill and the Golden Club,
and when he was convinced he boldly
and honestly proclaimed the fact,
ard now they try to make it appear
they didn't mean it."
That is a perfect picture and an
unan 'werable Indictment. 1t ought
to go to every voter in the country

Republican Prospects.

Every Indication is in favor of
sweeping republican victory on the
9th OF November. The interest GEN.
ters. of course, on the four states
considered doubtful-that is, New
York. New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana; but it must be remembered
that the position of the Democrats
and Republicans with regard to these
states IS very different. The Repub-
licaus can win without New York
and the Democrats cannot.
This Is the way the matter stands.
1t requires POI electoral votes to
elect. Of these Cleveland may be
credited with 153, the vote of the
solid South-though That is not abb
soluteiy Gertain-leaving him As 20
get somewhere else Now If he can
carry New York, with &c votes, he
will then have 1S9, or II short. He
viii then need Indiana, with her ID
votes, or New jersey with 9 and
Connecticut with G, which would
give him POI, with 3 to spare. But
unless he can carry New York, he
can have the united vote of Indiana,
New Jersey and Connecticut without
doing him any good; for their aggre-
gate vote added to the vote of the
solid South makes only 1S3, which is
Is short.
The Republicans, OF the other
hand, can count with confidence on
every Northern state, except the four
named. This gives them an aggre-
gate of Isl electoral votes to start
with, or 20 less than a majority; SO
if they can carry Indiana and Con
necticut, or Indiana and New Jersey,
they can win without New York, as
Indiana and New Jersey would give
them q votes, and Indiana aud Con-
nocticut u, where only 20 are need
ed
But the chances are excellent for
carrying New York, in which event
the vote of Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut becomes immaterial. so
far as the general result is concern
ed. Every day makes it more and
more certain that New York will go
Republican AID that Mr.. Cleveland
cannot be reelected. In tact, the
probabilities are that Harrison will
carry every Northern state, without
exception
And why not? The Democratic
party has seen fit to array the free
trade, cheap labor South against the
protectionist, high-labor NortL, and
it must abide the consequences. If
there be any sectionalism in this, let
the blame fall where it belongs, on
the man and the party that put the
Confederate Brigadiers into the sad-
dies aad sought TO permit them to
ride rough>shod over American Ia
Dor and American industries.-S. f.

Railroad Eztoytinr

We are suffering a good deal these
days from over charges. \ family
hy the namo of Drury from near
Buffalo, New York, came to Port
Townsend. They shipped their
goods direct 10 Port Townsend from
Buffalo and paid the freight in full
and took their receipt therefor.
They arrived here of course a little
ahead Of their goods, and when the
latter came they wera appalled, 10 find
that there was an additional charge
of over fifty dollars on the goods
the agent here could give no ac-
count of the charge. 1t was simply

additional service rendered The
" hartinger refused to allow the
goods TO be delivered until the fifty
dollars were paid and commenced to
pile up warehouse charges at the
rate of one dollar per day. Mr.
Drury hired lawyer, but found he
could DO nothing but submit to the
steal
The agent said he would do his
best 10 get the matter Strengthened

money and receipt for their goods,
but claimed he could do nothing un-
til they had paid. Enquiring about
it they were not much encouraged

and other like instances were not re-
warded with much cash.
There are places where things are

family are not the ones now to swear

A Widow Temperance Sermon.

There is a widow living at Topeka,
Kan, who evidently does not hold
the memory Of her deceased hus-
band in great reverence. She has
erected over his grave monument
which plainly indicates the cause of
his death. At the base of the gran
ite shaft is carved a mass of writhing
serpenta, and above his name and
age are carved the words, "Died of
Delirium Tremens" 1t could hard~
ly be called an affectionate tribute,
but 1t Is an excellent temperance
sermon. Should the terrible warn
ing be needed and other drunkards
turned from their fatal course, this
eccentric widow would indeed prove
a benefactor. But few husbands,
however, would be pleased with the
thought that after his death, his wild
Ow would take such course to ben
eft humanity.

More than a week ago Judge
Boyle of Pennsylvania notified the
district clerk of this district that he
would not leave for Puget Sound
until after election. For some
reason the district clerk Of this
court did not notify Ihs jurors, grand
and petit, in this county and of
course they came in to attend court
on Tuesday. Both Judge Boyle and
his clerk, MIR. Donovan, seem to be
SO busy in partisan politics that they
have DO time to attend to their du-
ties as court officers. The cost Of
allowing the jurors to come in 10 at
tend court is about $500, to say moth
ing of the Inconvenience and diIap-
peintment. OF course the county
must foot the bill, and Mr.. Donovan
expects to be rewarded with another
Office for thus quitting the Taxpayers
to unnecessary costs and trouble
Kereille.
There is one cogent reason Why
Mr.. Weir, the Republican, should be
elected to the Legislature instead of
Mr.. Donovan. 1t is conceded by oil
parties that the Republicans will
have a majority in both Houses, and
Will as usual organize and elect the
important committees. Therefore it
we want member of the Council on,
the Important committees, a Repub-
lican should be chosen. Every per-
son remembers how this district suf-
fered last year by the election of
Capt. Roeder, who cut no figure, ex-
cept TO adorn the tail eud OF fsw
unimportant comnittees.-ReUeifIo.
Some inquisitivs fellow asked the
editor of the Washington Farmer
why he chose Puget Sound as home
and that editor MARBLES as follows ::
Because it is on the parallel OF
latitude along which the highest
civilization holds sway all around the
earth-it is on the same latitude ~
London-it is between the grest
lakes of America and the new Med
iterranean where the merchant ma
rine holds high carnivaI-along that
belt the Caucasian race viii rule; and
the negro, the Spanish grssssr and
the Chinaman will never Obtain
much of foothold, as they do south

The tie industry has grown to enor-
| mous proportions in the timber regions
| in the Northwest. and with the steady
Increase IN the mileage of the railroads
| of the country, is not likely to diminish
| il ex.ent- The consumption of wooden
| ties for new trackage and for replace
| ments Is something extraordinary, and
| thus far no substitute has been found
| which promises TO take tine place of the
best quality of wooden tics. But COM
| paratively little beadway has yet been
made in the method of getting ties out.
Now and then the sawed tie is encoun-
| tered, but the greater part of all the
| ties which 60 into the construction OF
our railways are cut as they were cut
years ago, aud the sides bewn SO as to
afford the dssired face, with an axe.
This requires skill upon the part of the
woodsman, but even at the hands OF the
| most deft woodsman is slow and tedi-
ous process, when compared With the
rapi lity with which timbers for every
other purposes are turned out. Once the
tie Is cut and made marketable, it ia
hauled to the nearest railroad track and
piled up, to be shipped out to rail. In
timber regions where streams are not
available this is probably the cheapest
and most expeditions method of manu-
lacfure but great many ties are hoated
Fdown Logging streams to the annoyance
and disgust OF the loggers, and with
more or less loss to the makers. There
is now liz use in s0rne Of the saw mills q
piece OF machinery which ought to be a
boon to the tie makers Primarily it
was made to accelerate and economize
lumber making where the logs run
small, but everybody who has ever seen
one Of the machines must have been
struck with it's adaptability to tie
making. Reference is made to what ia
known as the Lynch siding machipe.
1t consists of two revolving wheels
faced with knives, which dress the side
OF the log rapidly and smoothly. Com
paratively little power is required aud
little help to operate it. The logs need
to be got to mill and siding machine
and cut off saw would be sufficient to
do the rest: In this way vast amount
of hand labor would undoubtedly be
saved, AID the cost of ties materially

Is the Duty Added to the Cost?

So the duty on blankets is ''tax"
1t is nothing of the kind, Mr.. Presi-

Were recently imported at the lowest
possible cost. The statement OF the
cost, duty paid, is as follows: Cost
in England at wholesale, S465; duty,
$4.25; customs fees, 65 cents; total,
S9.35. If the theory is true, these
blankets ought to sell for 1886 a
PAIR, but as matter OF fact Ameri-
can blankets of precisely the same
