BRIEF MENTION.

The government is trying lobster
culture ON the Pacific coast. The first
Atlantic installment has been an
chored at Santa Cruz.
The bronze statue of Sir William
Wallace, unveiled by Lord Lorne at
Aberdeen, is nineteen feet high and
weighs nearly five tons.
Recently distinguished Oshkosh,
Wis, juryman offered to pay the sum
in dispute if the claimant would dis
miss the case. The offer was refused.
A Pittsburg foundry is making for
the American Emensite company a
cannon which will be used to demon
strate the value of that new explosive.
The cannon is expected to throw a
six-inch shell with emensite ten to
twelve miles.
Bishop Coke, of Western New York,
in letter to Mgr. Richard, arch
bishop of Paris, intercedes in behalf of
Pere Hyacinth's followers, praying for
their church recognition, and declar-
ing his purpose to minister to them
unless informed by the archbishop
that he has disowned them.
Mad King Otto is growing worse.
He now wanders aimlessly about his
big, lonely palace outside the city of
Munich. He has abandoned his last
distraction, that of peeling potatoes,
and has no pleasure left, but spends
his time hiding away in a dark cor
ner, thinking everyone wants to hurt
him.
Mrs. Sidney Smith Swami, the
wealthiest woman in Maryland with
the exception of Miss Garrett, has
sued her husband Donald Swami, for
divorce on the ground of unfaithful-
ness. Mrs. Swami inherited S20,O 600

According to certain statistics the
cotton mills at Nashville, Tenn, now
afford employment to more than 1900
persons and use yearly about $4,000
bales of cotton, whose finished pro-
duct is double the value of the raw
material.
The French are acknowledged to
have the finest guns and prOjectiles in
Europe. Their Ferminy shell has
been shot through an armor plate
twenty inches thick and come out
with its steel point uninjured.
Aluminium is coming into use as a
material for dental plates. 1T is near
Iy as light as rubber, but little more
than one-eighth the weight of gold;
has neither odor nor taste; is not af-
fected by the elements of food or the
secretions of the mouth, and costs,
bulk for bulk, about One-siXth the
present price of silver.
1t appears that, besides having
ships with no guns, England has cav
alrymen with no horses. For ex-
ample, the third regiment of house
hold cavalry has but 800 horses fol
1900 men, and 1900 Dragons and
hussars have but 10000 horses. In
the German army the usual proper,
ton is 1000 horses to 700 men.

THE result OF the city cases in the
district court must be matter of con-
graduation to the public. No matter
how much our sympathies may be en-
listed on the side of friends, we cannot
fail to recognize the absolute necessity
of local ordinances that will stand the
ordeal of test before the higher
courts. II ordinances are passed for
the purpose of bene6ting the many
or for the restriction, prevention and
punishment OF wrong doing, they
should be observed, and when the Laws
of n city are violated they should be
so constructed as to be enforced. Let
the public know that ordinances are
drawn up in conformity with law, and
there will be less appeals and greater
care exercised in observing local res
trictions. Even those who were de-
feated in these test cases must recog-
pize that the decision OF the court was
Just, and the result fortunate for the
welfare Of the city.

this very interesting case. 1t is now
twenty days since the interior depat-
nent was notified that there WAS Il
lortnge OF several thousand dollars
in the accounts Of The receiver OF the
local land office, and yet the secretary
has failed to either send an
expert out to this place, nor
in any manner expressed
his intentions. Since that time
the amount of shortage has steat lily
increased until the totals has reached
over $4,000. Some of the cases where
settlers have lost sums Of money are
really pitinb'e, and call tor the sympa-
thy Of those cognizant Of the facts. II
the policy pursued in this case is .
sample of the workings of reform
administration tie sooner the people
are free from it the better IL will be for
the country. II it is the intention Of
heads of departments to shield suboi-
dinateg who have misappropriate
public funds then the cry Of "turn the
rascals out" that has been the slogan
of the Democratic party for years is 4
hollow mockery. There is just two
things--either this is u case of malfes-
cence in Office, or n public office
holder has been deeply wronged. In
the folmer the land office department
owes it to the country hat the facts be
brought to light, the offender removed
from Office and prosecuted. If the lat
ter, then even more than il
the former case, the admins
tration owes it to the good
name of leader of the party in power
that one of its servants be cleared OF
the grave charges hanging over him.
At the present time the land Office is
isavirtually closed. No money is be-
ing received and, of course, no new
business is being done. This is work
ing hardship on the people Of this
part CT the territory. The Office must
remain in it's present condition until
the authorities at Washington conde-
scend to recognize the urgen; appeals
that have been repeatedly forwarded

Col. l.. B. NASH is spoken OF as the
probable successor Of Judge Turner as
associate justice, and there is not n
man within the length and breadth of
the territory more fitted or better de-
serving the honor through the hands
of the administration. 1t would, in
deed be fortunate for the judiciary of
the terri ory If the ermne was trans
ferred from the worthy shoulders Of the
present incumbent to the no less
worthy shoulders Of Col. Nash. 1t
would be only just recognition of the
rights OF the territory if the author
tiles at Washington should appoint n
resident attorney to this Office, aud it
would be far more satisfactory to the
people than continuing the custom so
long in vogue of sending out some
eastern man, who is rendered the place
as reward for political services, no
matter how able the appointee may
be. Col. Nash is troubled with en-
tirely TOO much modesty. He has al
ways refused to allow his name to be
used for any appointive or elective Of
flee. In the case Of shis judgeship he
most emphatically refused to allow his
name TO be used when first approached
but the entire bar OF the city called
upon him in body and insisted that
in this case no must lay aside his pre-
judices and permit his name to be
used. 1t was deserved compliment
that no doubt Col. Nash fully appreci-
ated, as il showed the high esteem in
which he is held by his fellow men,
bers of the profession. Col. Nash not
only enjoys the confidence of the legal
fraternity, but he is honored and re-
spected by the entire community. He
is eminently fitted for any position in
the gift of the government, and upon
the bench he will be found an erudite
jurist and a just, unprejudiced, snd
dignified Judge. He would be pow
erful addition to the court of the ter
ritory and we sincerely trust that he
will secure the appointment. The
only fault we can find with the gentle
man is that he is Democrat, but we
can overlook this defect in the face Of
his many sterling qualities.

able to speak intelligently upon the

the powers that be are not sufficiently

cable from Berlin tends to strengthen
the opinion that the time is not far
distant when the natiors of Europe

BELOW is given m extract from the
Tacoma News. In the first place, We
do not believe that the Journals in
formant is posted on milling matters
as flour has not fallen lately nor has
wheat made any marked advance.
The mills have been paying and there
is no reason why theyehould not pay
as we'll now az u few months ago. In
the second place we believe that the
News is slightly excite over an imaei-
nary bugbear, but we reproduce the
protest and expect to hea- from it
through the millers:
The Walla Walla Journal says
"a gentlemen of learning and great
business tact counted up the different
mi lers in this section of the country
the other day, and strange as it may
appear out Of the eleven millers men
toned, all owning and operating good
mills, he said only three are ma ing
money, while with the rest Us 'nip
and tuck One would hardly believe
it, yet, saws our informant, such are
the facts in the case and he seems to
know whereof he speaks"
Why didn't this gentleman Of learn
ing and great business tact, who can
"count eleven" give us the reasons
for the unsatisfactory condition of this
business? Perhaps the millers are
trying to grind each other instead of
grinding wheat simply. II that is the
case we beg to inform them they are
in bad business, and we are more free
with this advice because the public
has an interest in the matter. If
they are grinding each other, or if
the three mills that are making money
are grinding the other eight, what is it
coming to? Either IL monopoly of the
business, concentrated in the hands Of
the strongest who ultimately prevail,
or Il miller's trust. Now We do not
want either of those in this territory,
for they will grind the wheat growers
and the bread eaters.
