THE BANNER COUNTY.


In view OF the result Of the recent
election King county can fairly claim
the title OF banner Republican county
of Washington Territory. The major
ity of s27 given for John b. Allen was
larger than that given by any other
county. though Pierce county with its
majority of s26 is an exceedingly close
second. Spokane county comes third
and Kittitas last with majority of
only ivsnty-three.
The largest Ye,e cast for any Repub-
Iican in King county was that for J.
II. Jones for representative. who re-
ceived 3is3 votes. Julius Horton, for
assessor, came next with 1902 votes.
and John y Allen for delegate to con-
gress, and II. q. O'Brien for adiutant-
general, follow with $500 votes each.
The lowest vote for any Republican
candidate was 2s72 for C. NJ. Ander-
son for county surveyor, and the larg-
est for any Democratic candidate was
1883 for &. :. Voorhees, for dele
gate. |. p. Rich, whose name APP
poared in both the Democratic and
Peoples tickets received 2T06 votes,
this being the largest vote received by
any defeated candidate. Mr.. Rich,
however. lost his own precinct, New
castle, by six votes. The largest vote
cast for any candidate on the Peoples
ticket was 1924 for Alexander Allen
for sheriff. Lyman Wood for auditor,
followed with a2s, and w. +. Brown
for surveyor. with go. The largest
vote for any Prohibitionist was 335 for
Everett Smith for prosecuting attor-
ney. and the smalies was pa for K.
G. Graves for auditor. ]. W. White
head. whose name appeared on both
the Peoples and Prohibition tickets,
obtained 7as votes for treasurer and
W. r. Newton. who Represented a
similar combination, obtained 7S4
votes for representative. The largest
majority for any candidate was l4s6
for Horton for assessor and the small
Is, was sS7 for Pussy for school .upef.
sn,endens Republicans generally
voted the straight ticket, the tiuctn-
atoms in msiorities being accounted
for by the appearance of candidates
on only one or on more than one Of
the opposition tickets. Some eandi
dates were supported by Democrats
and Prohibitionists, some by PTohi
tionists and members OF the People
party, and some by members Of thu
Peoples party ard Democrats, ever,

The ysnsa generation of weishmen
il essentially radical and does not hest
tate TO pronounce home rule as a
prime object for attainment, but the
movement to-day is in the hands of
more moderate men. who, meeting
together as the Welsh national coun-
ell, set forth the needed reforms the
country asks from the imperial par
lament. The FIRST OF these is the dis
establishment OF the English church
and the absolute adjustment OF the
collection OF tithes for the Anglican
clergy. They do not object to the
payment of tithes, but. as noncon-
fornists. they resist the payment to
an alien church, and insist that the
revenue from this source be national
ized and devoted to national purposes
The educational question comes
next, and the national council de-
mands that the management of the
endowment for education in Wales be
thoroughly overhauled and taken from
the church establishment. so that the |
endowment will not. as in the past, be |
utilized by the English for English |
purposes, with the intent of advancing
English interests and crushing out the
mother tongue. which is now spoken
by over two-thi-ds Of the people. |
Lastly Is the rent issue, and as the
Welsh are essentially an agricultural
people. il is of supreme Importance to
them. The same condition Of affairs
exists here between landlord and ten
ant that has existed in Ireland, and a
readjustment is asked, with view of
insuring the elementary requisites OF
equitable rents, security of tenure and
complete compensation for agricultu- |
raj improvements.
II cannot be doubted that the people
OF Wales are bent on wagIng yigor-
Gus fight for what they believe to
be their just rights and reasonable de-
mands. Discussion has crystallized |
into legitimate agitation and the libe-
rails of the country have taken up the |
issues with such unanimity that
Welsh party in the British parliament
is certain to be.as much Of reality as
is the Irish party. With an assurance
of unmistakable loyalty to- the i'm
perial government, the desire is not TO
il. but rather to secure
needed reforms for themselves and. in
the light of our present civilization
and constitutional advancement all
over the world, local autonomy and
local self government viii be included
IN these reforms.

"Good Society" in New York

According to a remark asserted to have been recently made to reporter, the social elect in the city of New York comprise about four hundred persons, In other words, that is the mystic number of society" or, as they are now often called, ''society people" The word classics" is applied to certain works of literature because they are of the first class, or class by distinctiou-clasS,. indeed so SUI perior that other classes are not mentioned "Eclipse first, and the rest nowhere" So with the entrancing word society" It de- scribes circle so separately remote, so loftily apart from all other circles, that it absorbs and exhausts the name.
 You may have the most accomplished and delightful friends, and in witty, refined and charming intercourse the golden hours with them may pass, but-''woe is me, Alhamai i'' if they are not counted among the chosen 400, they do not belong to 'society," and your fate is outer darkness and wail-pg and gnash- ing of teeth. If 400 or 4,O0O of us want to feel that noblesse oblige, let us not try to obliterate from history Grandpa Grocer, but remember that the descendant of that worthy need not hang his head before the heir of Right Hon. Sir William Kidd, nor of any Norman freebooter and courier who came over with the earlier William George Will liam Curtis in Harpers Magazine

FREE WOOL.

In regard to the free wool proposal of his bill Congressman Mills puts forth some strong arguments in its support. There is not nearly enough wool in this country to clothe our people. We grow 265, 900, 900 pounds year and it requires 600, DOC, 900 pounds to make clothing for our people. High duties keep out nearly all wools except the coarse carpet wools, and the result is the use of shoddy in the manufacture of the clothing which work ingmen wear. Over $44, ,000, 900 worth of wooden goods are imported annually, at all average duty of 5S per cent. If wool were admitted free of duty, these wooden goods could be manufactured so cheaply in this country that the imports would stop, and we should soon be supplying foreign markets as we'll as our own, while the in crease in our manufacturing product would increase enormously the demand for labor, and consequently enhance the rate of wages. Subsequently, MT Mills showed, what has been shown over and over again that the average duty on imports is now 47.1O per cent. and his bill proposes to re- duce it to 40 per cent. a reduction of only 10 per cent. This is what the republi- cans call free trade, and rather than submit to an average duty of 40 per cent they clare that they will give the country free whisky.

Building a House in Cuba,

One of our oldest experiences was a visit to q genuine ''cobijar" or Cuban house rais. ing. A couple had been married About a cabeleria of land had been given them by an old Montero father, and planters and< Seomen alike, some from as far as twenty leagues away among the mountains, had come to make sort of festivity out of setting the queer homo upon its legs. Over 100 men were here, and their little ponies were teth- cred for a half mile up and down the road. Two fat bullocks had been killed and roasted, and there was no end of roasted pigs and tender lambs from the mountains, with all sorts of unnamable Cuban country dishes. Perhaps a score of men were employed in the cooking alone. There were casks of agllari- diente and iagons of cheap Catalan wine, and these splendid, swarthy fellows made many picturesque groups among the laurels palms, tamarinds and mignonettes which here grow to the height of our own Towering loCuctS.
 But to me the construction of the house itself, as it arose in the wilderness garden, under the lazy, visiting" sort of efforts of the crowd, was fully as interesting It was built of quebrehacha (ax breaker) wooden posts, lnterwoven with the long, straight and thin saplings of llaya, until complete and most dexterous network of side walls was made. This woven work is perhaps eighteen inches in thickness, and as rapidly as it progressed upward a score or so of gua- jiroS forced into the ehinks and interstices a hard plaster made of clay, water and the tough espartillo grass; so that by the time the casa de vivienda was ready for its roof, us two or three days arc consumed ill Gu ban house raising, the sides are dry and solid as brick wall. This particular structure was about forty feet square ill area, making pretty comfortable home for a newly we'd ded pair. The roof went to q tremendous height at the ridge, and with its bellyiug arch of llaya poles reaching out over rude, wide porches was thatched with the broad leaves of the palma de manaca q small spe- cies of palm, which serves for n perfect shel- ter for period of seven years.-Edgar L. Wakemans Cuba letter.

Democratic Nominations,
OUR POSITION.

There is & difference of opinion as to whether the DEMOCRAT did right in com ing out so strongly against the Connolly wing of the party. Most of those whose views in the matter we have heard, are with us first, last, and at all time in the fight for right. A few thought it would have been better to have kept the matter from the ears of the public, and Connolly's constituents were, of course, in a state of mind over the expose. The stand taken by the DEMOCRAT was determined upon, after mature deliberation, and after giving Connolly a chance to right himself His statement to representative of this paper, when asked to attend Il meeting of the committee, that he would not allow any body to dump" him, goes to prove that he was looking out for Miles F. Connolly, instead of working for the success of the democracy. His refusal to resign from the committee in the interest of harmony is another point against him. His deliberate distortion of the truth in matter entirely foreign to the business under considera- tion at the committee meeting in order to settle n personal spite. Is still further evi- dence that he was not the right man in the right place. As for Dolan, we have not will show of what stuff he is constituted: When the question whether John B. Do herty or James Coughlan was elected sec ond selectman, was left to Benjamin Sedg- wick to decide, it is generally known that the Knights of Labor appointed commit question in favor of MT Coughlan, and it is said and is not denied that Dolan was a member of the committee. Mir Sedgwick's answer to the committee was decided no. Without questioning the decision of MT Sedgwick in the case we would ask
 did not Dolan show his inconsistency by
 voting for this man for chairman of the democratic town committed. How different was 1t with Hayes and Moran. Each of the gentlemen expressed willingness to step down and out and give guarantee not to allow their names to be used again ss committee men. To this Connolly and Dolan would not agree. We are not with Hayes and Moran no more than with the other two members of the matter The DEMOCRAT is in the field in the interest of the people, and had Moran and Hayes deserved censure they would have been handled without gloves. Had it not been for the heroic treatment prescribed by the DEMOCRAT and the attendance at last Mon day nights meeting of the committee there ! would have been no election for chairman until after election. Public opinion forced Connolly and Dolan to the election of man they had once declined to vote for

MARRIAGES IN MOROCCO.

 the Bride and Groom.

the Bride and Groom.
 AS the most interesting event that could b. shown, it was at once suggested that attend a Jewish wedding then taking place, and while l feared to offend the proprieties by coming into the presence of the timid bride in top boots and a flannel shirt, Jacob in sisted she would not mind it if had no boot, at all on or wore them around my neck. ] was little afraid we would arrive late until | learned that 1t was the playful custom oi the Jews to keep the poor bridegroom ir suspense by stringing the ceremony out foI week, and that this wedding had alreads reached its third day. In the neighbor hood of the brides house the walls of the houses were ornamented with cabalistit signs in red paint, which Jacob said wers placed there to keep the evil eye off. Inside the brides house there were plenty of indi cations that something of a serious naturs was going on, and we were ushered into the room where the bridal party was displayed The bride was seated at one end of the room on divan surrounded by about a dozer children, and all hands were busy eating pie At least tho dish looked Ike pie It appears the poor woman had had nothing to do the last three days but eat pie and sleep, and she must keep it up for the four days longer Tn, children seemed to stand it first rate, but tn, blooming bride looked weaKy and ennuye ai she handed me piece of pie from her owu fair fingers. l hope some day my stomach will forgive me for the dastardly act wa. guilty of in making it absorb that mouthful but it rebelled at the time.
 At the farther end of the room the bride groom reclined with hope deferred look 1T his eye and chunk of that beastly pie in hi. hand. He looked sheepish enough, and dc not wonder, for if q five minute ceremony will make n cheeky American forget whether he put the ring in his pocket or in his boot, a week of this sort of thing would land O man ill tho asylum for feeble minded The bride wished to know whether in Americs the women were married the same as ir Morocco, and when told her they could get married and go to keeping house in fifteen minutes she sighed, looked sentimental and took another bite of pie, Evidently inter eSted in what we were saying, the poor out cast of bridegroom got up from his seat and came over to take hand in the conver, sation, but before be had advanced five feet the children started up, the bride screamed in 1naidenly alarm and he was pulled and pom. meled back to his seat by his infant tor mentors where he solaced himself with mora pie. There were serious indications that Die was about to be passed again, so 1 beat a nasty retreat with indignant thoughts of the tiendish cruelty which would keep that youth and maiden stuffing pie for the next four days and nights with twenty feet of air space hetween them.

NILES F. CONNOLLY has withdrawn his advertisement from the DEMOCRAT and discontinued his subscription. He has also remarked that the paper would not live long. If Mir Connolly can find time we would advise him to dip his finger into n pail of water, then withdraw it and find the hole if he can The withdrawal of his patronage from the DEMOCRAT will have about the same effect upon its publication. Perhaps MT Connolly contemplates start ing paper of his own.
