CrOcker's Rise,

The death of Charles Crocker will re.
call to many the day when the Central
Pacific railroad was looked upon In the
same light that now gives the Pacific
canal enterprises 30 uncertain an appear
arce, and they will remember how
Crocker pushed on the railroad with zeal
and skill in spite Of financial difficulties.
He won the reward Of wealth and fame
but the country took q forward leap from
the day Of the roads completion and
hardly begrudges him the s4O, 100000 left
at death.
Mr.. Crocker's life was Of pattern that

newsboy at twelve, as others OF our rich
men have done, and also very large pro-
portion of our poor men. The fact that

operations, and by the careful applica-
ton of tireless industry and good
judgment cannot be made paIticu.
larry useful, by way Of example, be-
cause Of the other fact that circumstances
were especially favorable in that part Of
the world at that time for man OF his
stamp. 1t can only be said that men who
work and watch as he did, usually attain
their ends, whether they are wealth and
fame or quiet conscience and content

In way that men can not wait for il,
but must strive by constant readiness to
take 1t at the food.

Poor TippecanOe.

There can be no concealing the fact that
the attempt to reawaken The old Tippica.
noe and Tyler Too excitement is fiat and
profound failure. The songs don't take
with the hurrah boys and the cider has
lost its old time snap. Even the old log
cabin and the coons arouse but the placid
interest that would follow a set of pre-.
historic bones, and the campaign orator
has found that references to the old
Tippecanoe are received with respectful
but melancholy silence.
The report that General Harrison him
salf Is profoundly disgusted with the
ancestral hard cider, log cabin and coon
idea Is quite worthy of belief. Any SEN
sible man would prefer to stand or fall
on his own merits regardless Of
his respected forefathers, and the gen.
ersl appears to be a sensible man.
HIS good sense is also manifest in the
habit be has formed Of giving close atten-
tion to the opinions of his political op-
ponents and their sharp criticisms of
himself. Report has it that the general
has been much disgusted thereby, and
his friends and managers have tried
vainly to forbid this dangerous intel
lectual diet. He is reported to have gone
without his supper after reading Demo.
cratic criticism of himself, and to have
complained that the campaign was not
bSing fought upon the party platforms,
but that the acts of the candidates were
matters for political debate. Here /
an accused of saying and doing what
could have no possible bearing upon the
campaign, even were 1t every word true. %
1t Is affecting TO see the candidate
losing his balance so early in the cam
pdgn, aud il the criticism had not the
sting OF truth, it is hard to see why he
should recoil from it. We do not know what
It was that SO disturbed him, but every
truth that helps the people to measure
the character of the aspirant to Office has

ous personalities deserve and receive u 9
contempt of all men, but the spectacle OF

The Remedy.

There was an affecting scene In In.
dianapolis on Wednesday, when the Re-
publican candidate for the presidency
declared that we should protect our peo-
pie against the coming to our shores of
paupers, laborers under. contract and the
Chinese" This had been felt to be
weak point in the armor of the general,
and his desertion Of his celestial friends
was received with hilarious exuberance OF
Joy. SO pleased were the partisans
with the gracious words Of their idol that
they forgot for the moment that the per-
feet tariff system he talked about taxed
the people for the support of some indus
tries that employ the very lowest class Of
foreign labor. The general was severe
upon those who advocate policy that
brings the American workmen into com.
petition with the products Of foreign
cheap plabor and this attack upon creatures
Of o disordered political imagination was
brilliant and effective.
II there are any Americans who
favor any such policy they must be
found among those Republican friends
Of deformed tariff, who look with com.
placency upon the support by the people
OF industries employing the lowest class
Of foreign cheap labor. The president OF
the protective tariff league, for example
whose mill supported by q high tarif

class of labor as the revision o

tries that employ them. The supe
rlority of American labor will tell to 1t
advantage under more liberal system o
tariff and though immigration must b
closely guarded to exclude the worst ele
ments and the cheapest labor, the prob
lem can not present half the diflicultie
that now cucumber 1t.

The supreme court Of Washington ter.

cision on the woman's suffrage question.
BY act Of Legislature the women Of

decides that rs the power of the territory
to make laws was conferred upon II by
Congress, 1t connot overstep the bounds
fixed by Congress In making laws which
are in conflict with Its organic act. In
fixing the powers of the Legislature and
the qualifications Of voters II expressly
declared that the right of suffrage at the
first election should be exercised by white
male inhabitants. The same act provides
for the sending Of delegate to Congress
and the court felt certain that 1t was
