On the Defensive Already.

The democratic national platform
has just been adopted, yet there is
an attempt being made already to
explain it as merely tariff reforni''
document. Gov. Hill of New York
says it is for freer trade and not for
free trade. Democratic leaders begin
to realize that they will have to meet
the determined opposition of ihe ia
dustrial interests of the country, and
they are beginning to hedge on a
plan to argRe for free trade in some
places, and mere modification of the
tariff in others. But the plan Will
fail; President Cleveland, more cour-
ageous than others of his party lead
ers, has committed them square'y TO
free trads-and the battle must be
waged on that line Heretofore there
has been no end of successful dodg-
ing on this tariff issue; but this time
1T won't work.

Canadian Railway Connection

The Southern Railway company
has been fully organized. At a meet
ing OF the shareholders in the capi-
tai stock of the Now Westminister
and Southern railway the following
gentlemen were elected directors:
Benz Douglass, president; John
Hendry, vice president; Henry Eli
OFT, treasurer; T. j. Trapp, secretary;
d. Drysdale, Z. S. Secular, II. Hoy,
A. Even, G. NJ. Beecher, directors.
The board are already at work ar
ranging for the early commencement
on construction. 1t is the intention
of the company to make connection
with the American system somewhere
in the vicinity, TO which point the
Seattle and West Coast line is now
being surveyed. The greatest OBJ
stacle to surmount is the crossing of
the Frazer. This is serious under
taking. A ferry is also expensive.
The former in all probability will be
bnilt, but where none can yet tell.

lines of steamboats, by exactiug exor
bitant 8nd ruiGOus freight and pass
enger rates, thus preventing large
amount of travel from coming to Port
Townsend and diyerting trade from
its legitimate channels by charging
as against all Passengers and freight
coming 10 or going from Port Towns
end, rates unjust, unreasonable and
oppressive. Aud
" HEREAs, This Board of Ira le de-
sires as representing the business in
terests OF this city TO do something to
relieve the citizens of Port Townsend

And
WHEREAS, The Oregon Railway &
Navigation Company has given fair

WHEREAS, II is entitled 10 the op-

Townsend to Seattle is Il reasonable
charge and no man should he excited

sold at higher price in the middle

in New York city 4 portion of the
shipment was sent in boxes as an ex-
pertinent, while the bulk was sent in

RELATIVE PROSPECTS.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The Sherman
movement is going along steadily
this afternoon without much noise.
Allison's canvass has been very skill
fully conducted. Everybody IS
brought to his headquarters, which
are, next to California's, the hand
soonest in the city. His friends are
very hopeful. Harrison's friends now
claim that he is next in strength to
Sherman, and that his outlook is
better than ever before. They count
greatly upon the fact that he is Sec
ond. choice of a great many delega-
tions. Gresham's supporters are not
making much noise, which leads
many to think his boom has col
lapsed. His friends, however, say
that he gained all day yesterday, and
Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Hi
nois, West Virginia and Il part of
Mi souri, will stand by HIM. With
Rusk and Ingalls, out they expect to
get the most of the votes from Wis
cOn5in and Kansas.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM.

Mr.. Jones made indirect allusion
to Blaine and Logan. Instantly the
whole convention was thrown into a
tumult, and it was several moments
before the chairman was able to re-
sumo his speech. When ne finished,
John NJ. Thurston. of Nebraska, was
introduced as temporary chairman,
and ;roeeeded with his address.
Chairman Thurston referred to
Blaine as the Republican chevalier,"
and the nightmare of democracy"
the greatest American, and ''the OBJ
ject of our undying love- at which
there was storm of cheers that were
given again and again. Thurston
said the convention must and dare
not place Blaine in nomination after
his expressed wishes.
Prolonged laughter was accorded
Thurston's concluding statement that
CleVeland's administration has been
remarkable for nothing but It's innoc-
uous desuetude. Horn. of Michigan,
presented the temporary chairman
with a gavel made of wood from the
tree under which the republican party
was born at Jackson, Mich, July 6,
1854. Dakota was then admitted and
will be allowed her ten votes. Wash

motion of General Bingham of Penn

The ordinary man does not think that
much skill is needed In washing clothes.
He has seen them washed. and he has no
doubt but what he could do Ii rs well as
anybody If he had to. He has looked
with critical eye at the washerwoman.
perhaps. and as she was not pretty. but
old and careworn. or decidedly black. his
interest has soon died. He imagines that
washing clothes simply means the throw.
ing of them into tub of hot water and
then rubbing them up and down on fur
rowed board, with little soap to make
them slippery.
This is very far from the truth. Nearly
every article requires different treatment.
Pillow slips and stockings. for instance.
must be turned inside out before they are
washed. and for exactly different reasons.
Flannels must be handled delicately. The
ordinary process of washing would soon
make them as smooth as linen. and rob
them of that delightful ability to irritate
the skin that Is so soothing In winter A
piece of linen marked with fruit stains
must be washed by stretching the linen
over the tub and pouring hot water
through It. and no soap must be used
until the stain disappears Ii. however.
the stain Is of long standing. tho spot
should be slightly dampened and then
rubbed vigorously with common yellow
soap. After this it should be well
starchcd and then exposed to tho sun and
air.
Articles Of delicate blue should be
washed in water to which sugar of lead
has been added If any article Is mil
dewed. javel water will soon remove all
trace of tho mildew. Any good washer
woman knows these things. and many be.
sides that are similar. but this amount Of
information may help brido or two In
