A case was instituted and passed
upon in the L. s Land Office ut Seat
tie, last Tuesday, Of unusual import
ance, the ultimate settlement OF which
may affect the titles to land in many
parts of the West. Some years ago
the land now known as the King
county poor farm, now valued ut about
$40, 1000, escheated to King county by
virtue of the provisions of Il law passed
by the Territorial Legislature relating
to the estates of persons dying intes-
tate and without heirs. Beriah Brown,
Jr., of Seattle lately attempted, in
the Land Office, to file upon this land
under the homestead act His appli-
cation was refused. Mr.. Brown
claimed that under common law the
property of persons dying intestate
and without heirs escheated to the
sovereign power, and that by every
legal analogy and precedent the prop
erty in question should have escheated
to the United States and not to the
Territory, Notwithstanding the law
passed by the Territorial Legislature.
He claims the Legislature had no
power to pass valid law in respect to
such property. The case has excited
much comment.

THE measures adopted in Portland
for preventing the spread of small
pox seem to be singularly inadequate
to the risk involved OF the disease be-
coming epidemic. Aside from put
ting up the yellow flag and barricading
the entrances of buildings infested
with the dread disease, but little seems
to have been done by the city author
tiles to stay its progress. People have
very generally been vaccinated, and
this may in time check its course, but
that there have been nearly thirty
cases Of genuine smallpox in the city
is not denied by those who possess
means for basing an accurate esti-
mate. The very best phase of the
matter, presented by the city press,
has been enough to alarm the country
people, and the trade of the city is
consequently exceedingly dull.

More of TacOma's Pretentions.

1t is announced that "Tacoma is to
have a new daily and weekly Republi-
can newspaper, to be edited by an
Eastern man who will make it the
greatest Republican journal of the
northwest" That sounds big and
reads well, but like the ponderous Dem
ocratic paper that was to take root at
Seattle, the probability is that the
germ will never sprOut. Eastern
men" are very good in their place, but
unlike the flavor of English breakfast
bacon, which is improved by il sea
voyage, their merit does not seem to
undergo any decided appreciation
by a journey across the continent.
Western men seem to be better ac-
climated for vigorous and profitable
yield on Pacific soil. The Republi
cans tried many years ago to establish
the greatest Republican journal in
the northwest" and some of the lead
ing men of that party to-day can feel
the hole in their pocket through which
many bright sheckels dropped. 1t
cannot be said that it failed from bad
management, for Gov. Ferry was at its
head, nor did it need that other
seeming essential for speedy growth
and ultimate greatness, an eastern
man." for Mr.. Loveridge was imported
expressly from Chicago to edit the
great paper.

The impression had gone forth that
there was an irreconcilable difference
of opinion between Tacoma and Seat
tie on all matters, public and private.
1t has been thought that it was only
necessary for Tacoma to blow hot for
Seattle to blow cold, and for Tacoma
70 smack her lips and say "sweet," for
Seattle to gag and respond sour"
But it seems we have been mistaken.
The antipathy was only apparent; the
appearance of hate merely assumed.
We now find them drinking waite,
through the same quill, as witness the
majority for Allen-King 827, Pierce
500. So nearly allied are these self
important and self-sacrificing common
wealths that . single vote marks the
narrow bounds Of past and present
political differences. Let us hope that
they will hereafter dwell together in
unity.

The fact is Dryer should never have
been appointed guard by Democratic

of his malignant partisanship, and to
have removed him for an act which
by force of habit has become quite in
voluntary was in just about as poor
judgment. Give us a rest on such

Rule or Revolution.
The bitterness and vindictive
feeling displayed by the Repnbll-
cans towards their political oppo-
nents in the flush of their late vic
tory, was a revelation to many peo-
pie who have honestly entertained
the belief that the differences which
have existed between the two par
ties related solely to matters OF
public policy, not in themselves IL
reconcilable, and which whatever
party was successful would be ac-
cepted as the will of the people
constitutionally expressed and there
fore to be implicitly obeyed. They
were not little surprised, when
they Leard leading Republicans,
soon as their tongues were loosened
by the feeling of security which
victory aroused, malign the Presi-
dent of the United States in terms
of bitterest invective, and saw them
deliberately fan the sparks Of party
hatred until in wild fury their de-
luded followers committed such
vandal acts as draping portraits OF
the Chief Executive in mourning or
grinding them in the dust under
their heels, as was done during the
saturnalia of revelry that prevailed
for days after the result OF the late
election was known. 1t seemed
for the time as if some Of our peo-
ole had been transformed from men
into brutes; as if the mask had
fallen from faces that had appeared
friendly and true, exhibiting visa
ges contorted with all the horrid
outlines of ,nalignity and hate.
The discovery was not a welcome
one, and charity for human weak
ness sought to cover with the veil
of forgetfulness scenes at which
humanity involuntarily shudders.
When, however, after the excite
ment has abated; when the defeated
party has calmly accepted the ver-
dict rendered at the polls; when a
disposition is manifested to cheer
fully acquiesce in a policy that has
passed the ordeal established by
law for giving vitality to the popu-
lar will; when the people are turn
