sistent evasion, concenlment and
denial. That resource the president
has fortunately removed. The issue
which the Republicans maintained
and the Democrats avoided in 1884
has been prominently and specifically
brought forward by the democratic
president aud cannot be hidden out of
sight in 1883. The country IL now IN
the enjoyment Of mn industrial system
which, in h quarter Of century, has
assured n l,rg,r national growth, u
more rapid accumulation and "
broader distribution Of wealth than
were ever before known to history.
The American people will now openly
and formally be asked to decide
whether this system slial. be recklessly
abandoned and new trial be made OF
an old experiment which has .unfor-
tunately led to nali' nal embarraes-
ment and widespread individual dis
tress. On the res 1t Of such an issue,
fairly presented to popular judgment,
there 10 no room for doubt, one thing
only is necessary to assure success.
Com plete harmony and cordial CO.
operation ON the pmrt OF all Republi-
cans. On the part both of those who
aspire tn lead. and Of those who are
eager to follow. The duty is not one
merely Of honorable devotion to the
party whose record and whose aims
are alike g.eat, but it ID one demanded
by the instinct Of self.inierest and by
the still higher promptings OF patriot
ism. A closer observation Of the con-
ditiOns of life among the older nations,
gives one u more intense desire that
the American people shall make no
mistake in choosing II / olicy which has
irspired labor with hope and crowns it
with dignity; which gives safety to
capital and protects its l. crease which
secures political power to every citizen
comfort and culture To every home.
10 this end, not less earnestly, and
more directly as a private citizen, than
rs u public candidate, shall devote
myself with the confident belief that
the administration of the government
will be restored to the party which has
demonstrated the purpose and the
power to wield it for the unity and the
honor Of the republic, for the prosper
ity and progress of the people.
am very sincerly yours,
JAMES q. BLAINE.

District Court.

The attention of the district courl
was occupied yesterday during the
morning session in hearing motions
argued for arrest Of judgment in tho
case of the Territory vs j. N. Squier
and l.. b. Whit en- charged with main.
tanning nuisances. In both cases the
motion was sustained. Demurrers to
indictments were also sustained in the
cases of the Territory vs VIM. Petit,
Chas. Dyer and w. q. Gray, charged
with the same Ohense.
In the afternoon the case of Phelps,
charged wi h displaying revolver in
u rude, threatening or angry manner
was called. 1t will be remembered
that the com plniniug witness in this
case Is Councilman j. II. Bishop.
From the evidence developed upon the
WITNESS stand the facts Of the matter
appears to he about as follows: The
defendant and Bishop had been part.
ners but had some trouble and sepa-
rated. Bishop called at Phelps house
and while there claims that the door
Was locked and that Phelps present, d
u pistol at his breast and took from
him book in which was some busi,
ness memorandum.
On the other hand Phelps states
that he had heard that Bishop had
threatened to do him bodily harm,
and, therefore, when that gentleman
called he wished to he prenur, d, SO
puta pistol in his pocket and after
wards drew it nut and laid it on the
table, where it would be at hand If he
had occnsiOn to use it. He uid not
display it in IL threatening manLer
and all the time pile Of books was
laying on the table betweei it and
Bishop.
Mrs. Phelps corroborated the testi-
mony Of her husband, only adding
that she did not see the revolver at
all but heard him speak of having it.
The case was given to the jury just
before the court adjourned, and they
were instructed to render scaled
verdict, which will doubtless be re-
turned this morning.

City Council.

At the meeting o. the City Council
this evening several important mat
ters will probably come up for consd.
Grafton. The committee appointed to
present system of numbering the
houses are prepared to refo:t. They
found the task assigned to them u
very difficult one AS the blocks across
the river and in Saunders addition
are not laid off with regularity. The
system after which the committee
desired to pattern is that used IN
Philadelphia and other eastern cities,
in which the numbers in each block
are supposed to run upto 100, and if
they happen to fall short the next
block begins another hundred just
the same. This system makes it easy
to find u number in any part OF the
city.
The committee has prepared II
system for the business portion OF the
city which can be modified for use in
the additions.
The street and alley committee have
also looked into the matter of the strip
of land in Havermale's addition
which, it is claimed, was dedicated as
an alley, and for the opening Of which
petition is now before the council.
This subject is liable TO cause lively
disc ussiOn.

SPOKANE FALLS, Feb. Is.
Hon. A. II. GARLAND,
Attorney General,
Washington, ID. Co.
have the honor to tender my resig-
nation rs associate justice of supreme
court of Washington Territory, to
take effect on the appointment and
qualification of my successor.
Please convey to the President and
and accept yourself my thanks for
the consideration with which l have
been treated.
GEORGE TURNER,
Associate Justice.
Judge George Turner, both as u pr
vate citizen and as au official on the
bench is well known in this com
munity. He has resided in this terri
tory for some two years, having been
appointed as associate justice OF this
territory from Alabama. From his
very first appearance in the territory
he made II wide circle of warm friends.
In fact few men can come in contact
with the gentleman without at once
feeling an admiration for him. In the
private walks of life lac is found
courteous, genial com panion, a huent
aud interesting cOnVersationalst, his
becoming dignity tempered with, d
u,urk. d kindliness Of disposition. On
l,e bench he is one OF the most able,
l-arued, and astute judges that has
ever ,ruced the ermire in this terri
tory. His charges show II thorough
knowledge Of the intracaces OF the law,
and ARE documents that call forth Ii @
admiration and praise OF the entire
bar. In his resignation the judiciary
of the territory loses one of its most
powerful factors. Judge Turner re-
signs solely through personal motives,
and will no doubt remain here as a
resident of the territory,
