a Great and Progressive Country.
From the St. Louis Globe. Democrat

Almost half of the railroad mil
cage of the world at this moment is
in the United States. A few years
ago this country contained about a
third of the miles of main track to be
found on the planet, and a few years
hence it will contain two-thirds of it.
The country has too many trusts,
dishonest bank officials and demo-
Gratis. Despite these drawbacks,
however, it appears to be the great

GROVER CLEVELAND is beginning, as
the time approaches for holding the
National Convention, to meet with
breakers upon the political tide Not
long since he ''set up" the Democratic
State Committee of Pennsylvania
against Mr. Randall, thereby secur-
ing the antagonism Of that gentle-
man. Now a "breaker" comes in his
own beloved State of New York.
Last week the Democratic State
Committee thereof held a meeting
and ballotted thirty times for &
chairman to succeed Daniel Manning,
and finally adjourned without an
election, the contest being tie vote
between the Cleveland and Gov. Hill
factions Of the party. This indicates
that Cleveland has opposition in
New York, and while it, however de-
teImined it may continue, may not
defeat his nomination, but will likely
loose for him the State at the polls,

A MINNESOTA paper says that lone
half of the population of Minnesota
has gone to California to spend the
winter" However, st. Paul inaugu-
rates its winter carnival and build an
immense ice palace as an attraction
and amusement for the people that
they may not become respondent
over the climatic rigors and suffering
that has prevailed this winter all
about them. Let them come to
Washington Territory if they want
an enjoyable climate. California is
not climaticly superior to Puget
Sound, nor has it the varied possi-
bilities, outside of tropical fruits, that
Washington Territory has. Climate
and fruit are the chief strings upon
which California harpists play; while
Washington not only have these in
their highest perfection; but also
have unexcelled forests of the finest
timber in the world; mountains ex-
tensive and rich with coal, iron, cop-
per. silver, gold and various other
kinds of minerals, valuable in the in
dustrial economy of the country. Be-
sides these, it has rich and extensive
valleys for agricultural, gardening
and fruit purposes, and broad upland
plains for stock growing and dairy
interests, all sufficient to supply the
food and product, for large popula
ton to become engaged in the varied
interests which the Territory has.
Then, the commercial and shipping
advantages of Washington are unex-
celled. Puget Sound affording the
finest tide water harbors in the world
which is destined to become the great
commercial and maritime port of the
Pacific or western terminus of our
continent, whittier all lines of trans
portation are tending.

me, ly convicted of the murder Of
james Mcmillan by jury partly
composed of women, and sentenced
ten years in the penitentiary, asked
for a new trial which the court
granted; holding as in the former
Harland case that the act of 1888, en-
franchising women was invaIid.

an expression as to the constitution

court declined to consider it, preferr-

The operations of the liquor traffic
under the laws for its regulation in
various Western States, although
they differ, seem to give satisfaction
to their advocates. Gov. Larrabee,
of Iowa, in his recent message to the
Legislature says the prohibitory law
of that State works satisfactorily
and has accomplished much toward
the object for which it was enacted;
while on the other hand, the author
tiles of Illinois say that the saloons
in that state are reduced twenty five
per cent. in number under the high
license law, and that the revenue de
rived therefrom increased S4,30O,0OO.
In Nebraska, a reduction of fifty per
cent. IN the number of saloons and
still greater disappearance of drunks
eness is reported, under a similar
high license law. Minnesota under
its late high license law similar
favorable report is promulgated by
the authorities. Ohio has liquor
tax law, under which 2,OSS saloons
have been closed by the tax-law. and.
SIT closed by the local option pro.
visions of the law. Missouri has
local option law which appears to
be an uncertain factor IN it's work.

CANADA evidently believes in rec

WELLINGTON MINE EXPLOSION,
some sixty Miners Perish,

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 26.-Later
news of the explosion in the Welling-
ton mine, some seventy five miles
north of Victoria, which occurred
last Tuesday morning is more dis
astros than at first supposed. The
explosion was loud, accompanied by
a dense mass of smoke and dust.
The fan was displaced and the shaft
timbers partially destroyed, and
ropes were at once placed in use with
which some men came up. a search
party went down and soon returned,
saying they could hear nothing but
calls for help from below. A tenn
porary ascending apparatus was
lowered so that miners could reach
it by ladders, up which lob men as
cended.
Every effort is being made to res
cue the bodies of the dead, of whom
it is now believed that there are
about so white men and nearly 100
Cinnamon still in the mine. not one
OF whom will come out alive. The
explosion was terrific and the cause
is supposed to be a defective lamp

The sentiment among the Cherokee
Indians, of the Indian Territory, is
growing in favor of the allotment of
their land in severalty and the
abandonment of their tribal relations.
This Is the result of their progress
In civilization. The civilization of
the Indians of the Nation and re-
quiring them to become self. f.support-
ing, and amenable to law, are the
methods which the government must
adopt and enforce as a solution to The
Indian problem. The result of this
will restore all the Indian reservations
to the public domain, except the
necessary portions allotted in sever
atty. Sufficient progress has al
ready been made by the government
in this direction to prove that the
civilization of the Indian is NO longer
an experiment, and the time is ap-
preaching when the Red Man will
become a part of the citizenship of
this Nation as the Negro or any
other race. There is no longer suf-
ficient reason why vast portions of
public domain and they are always
the best portions-should lay idle
subject to the whims of the Indians,
when it is better for all concerned,

LIE 4SS lSlituIS VI DTlGIk II ~ OOluIn-
bia opened Friday last, whereupon
the Lieutenant Governor read to it
his message OF speech in relation to
the affairs of the Province. Among
other matters he refers to the Behring
Sea fishing troubles:
Our seal fishing industry received
rude check by the high-handed
acts committed under another flag in
Behring Sea, inficting serious loss
upon enterprising citizens. l have
caused representation to be made
upon the subject, and there is every
reason to believe that the action
taken by The Imperial Government
will result in securing indemnity for
the past and the peaceable enjoyment
of our rights in the future.
The subject of irrigation is also
referred to thus:
Irrigating the SOL in the extsn-
siye region east of the Cascades is
one of very great Importance, and it
may to be well to consider whether
the artesian well system could not be
resorted to with advantage"
Thus it appears that the arid re.
gion extends into our northern
domain and they are look
ing to the agricultural possibilities
east of the Cascades as well as
Washington, Oregon, etc. The eli
mate in Columbia is similar to that of
and there is no reason
Why agriculture should not flourish.

IT is not very good commentary
upon the theological profession
when its practice does not keep pace
with its precept. This is illustrated
in the case of a Jersey City clergy
man who recently lost 100000 by
the failure of New York stock-bro-
ker. He had recently preached an
eloquent sermon upon the "sin of
gambling"
