Proposed immigration.

from a gentleman recently in our
city, who has just come from Kan
sas City. and who has travelled ex-
ten-iyely in that region, we learn
that there is Z very widespread de-
termination to emigrate to the Pu-
get Sound region. The determina-
ton is so great that it may Ice called
an impulse WestwaI d, hol is the
word all through that country.
This Is the time to advertise our
City and prospects extensively in
that region. If our business ex-
change would employ good, capa-
bic man to travel through that re-
gion and spread literature concerns
ing this city it would bring Us il
very large emigration in the spring.
No investment on the part OF our
property holders would pay batter
for the same outlay than this. Can
it not be done?
One reason why there has not been
a greater rush this fall is because of
tho Presidential election. den are
loath to lose their votes and hence
nave stayed at home until after elec-
ton. That over, and they will
come west with an energy unparal-
leIled.

Trusts

How trusts do gov and flourish
under the present democratic admin
President Cleveland talks
q good deal about trusts, but he man
ages to keep Standard Oh. Whitney
and Pax Electric Garland in his caE-
met, and hence trusts ara not much
frightened at his words.
Again there is much to much talk
on the part of the present admins
tration, and too little doing. Trusts
are now under the ban of law, but
where is the United States atturaey
that puts in any energy TO stop this
nefarious business We have heard
of no prosecution, and we do not be
lieve that there Is now a suit pending
in any court Of the United States
against these trusts. Why not? Who
can tell? Mr.. Cleveland Is posing as
a great reform administrator. Where
does his reform come in?
We hazard nothing in affirming
that more robbery has been commits
ted under the manipulation Of trusts
since Mr.. Cleveland took his seat than
for fifty years preceding, and yet not
an arrest, not an effort at prosecution.
Reform! REFoRMIl REFORM!!.

Net Appreciated at Home.


The following is the way Friend
Nicklin of the Rereilie speaks of Mr..
Donovan, the nominee for Council
on The Democratic ticket As Mr..
Donovan is Whatcom man it is
quite suggestive:
In the election two years ago,
when Donovan was beaten tor Audi
tor for this county, he received the
smallest vote of any candidate on
either ticket. That indicates that he
will be an easy man for Allen Weir
to down.
Donovan as one Of the Delegates
to the convention very modestly
helped to nominate himself fer the
Council. When the editor of this
paper did that two years ago Dono
van hCwled. He will not kick this
time.
The homesteaders whom Donovan
has feeced on final proof publica
tiUns will now have chance to vote
for him as Councilman to make laws
to cyuch them again on district clerk
fees.
Postmaster Isensee and di strict
clerk Donovan are now holding Oh TO
a federal Office each and trying 20
secure another. There are not
enough offices to give two all aronnd
TO the chronic seekers.
If elected to the Legislature l can
fix printers fees to my desire and
prevent any lowering of district
clerk fees also. In both these thin gs

Railroad Attorneys.

Thb Gheha1is Nugget and other
Democratic papsfs are straining very
hard to produce the impression that
John B. Allen is a railroad attorney
because he was retained once by the
Northern Pacific in case. They are
strslning at q ghst- No one denies
thGt John B. Allen has at times act
ed as counsel for railroad companies.
Nearly every lawyer of prominent
ability is at one time or another re-
tained by them In local cases.
Bit John B., Allen never was the
regular salaried stterRey. of the
Northern Pacific railway aad Chssles
S. Voorhees, was.
Before MIR. Voorhees, made his
first race for congress in 1884 he was
the regular employed attorney of the
NortfiefI Pscific land department
aud during his incuDbeney of that
Office he rendered written opinion
in which he defended that company
against the rights Of a settler OF
Whitman county. In this opinion
he declared that
The equitable title to this tract is
at this tifts iii the N. 2. Z. X. Co.,
and there is no power or authority in
the United States to dispose OF the
same otherwise than by issuing
patent thereto to the Northern Pa
cltic company. While the grant OF
lgnfs 10 the Northern Pacific rail-
road company Is BOT grant in pre-
senti. and did not attach at fire I'M
mediate time when the lands were
withdrawn from sale, yet the compa-
ny did at that time acquire an eqult-
able interest, which it is entirely in
competsnt for the United States to
abrogate OF Destroy"
Thus we find MI. Voorhees, not
only the attorney for the GofIpauy
he now 50 roundly denounces, but
rendering an opinion that even the
q, tied States had no power to wrest
from 1t the lands it had "equitably"
earned.
But Mr.. Voorhees, does not draw a
salary from the Northern Pacific now
and he would not only take from it
the interest in these lands, which he
said the q. S. sis entirely incompe-
tent to sbrogate or destroy" but
would forfeit the entire grant from
Bismarck to Puget Sound, although
a democratic presiden: has accepted
every mile of the line, and given the
company that equitable interest"
which Mr. Voorhees, says cannot be
abrogated or destroyed.
These facts are not unknown TO
the older settlers of Washington Ter
ritory, but there are thousands of
voters VINO have come in since 1884,
who should also know the truth. Ii
opprobium is attached to a man be-
cause he is a railroad attorney Ger
tainly Mr. Voorhees, is entitled to a
good share Of mud, and papers like
the Nugget should know that with
every handful thrown at Mr.. Allen, q
bucketful will cover the garments oi
their OVID candidate.-Palouse Ga

PoRT Townsend, W. T., Oct. 6. 1888.
Hon. ChAs. DONOVAN, Whatcom, w. t. !:
DEAR SHi-Learning of your nomina-
to oppose me for Joint Councilman, de-
sire to testify of my personal esteem fer
yourself, and to invite you to participate
in joint discussion of the political issues
OF the day at such times and places with
In the district as we may mutually deter
mine upon.
Respectfully, ALLEN WEIR.
MIR. Weir is already out in the cam
paign, but will accommodate himself
to MIR. Donovan's convenience wher-
ever possible, should the latter avail
himself of the invitation. A legisla>
tors usefulness is largely measured
by his ability as a public speaker,
and Mr.. Weir deems it his duty to
place himself alongside his competite
or in order that the public may have
an opportunity to judge and choose
between the two We believe that
the west side generally, and Port
Townsend in particular, may take q
Just pride in their local candidate.
That he IS moro than the peer OF his
opponent IN point of ability must lie
HIS public services are
co extensive with his business career
and have all been given without stint
or reserve in behalf of Port Towns
end. That he has been public spirit
ed, abundant in labors, and generous
with his private means, in advancing
Port Townsend's welfare, neither re-
publicans nor democrats can deny. |
No spot nor blemish attaches to his
personal character. 1t will be 10
credit to Port Townsend if her citi>
ems fail to show their appreciation
IT the deeds of such a faithful work
II In her behalf. Hut aside from any
ceiling oflocal pride there are several
questions OF vital public interest, on
he west side particularly, on which
Or. Weir can accomplish more in the

John 3. Allen,

Allen, always self possessed, impress

Gates lofty mind, Mr.. Voorhees, is
by no means Oh the best of terms

strated, while Allen, with his high
sense of propriety and honest, sim
pie demeanor, would make friends
anywhere and always Commands re-
spect. These are the two men who

it remains for the people to say
which one will represent their inter

The County Ticket.

The republican ticket of jefferson
county is exceptionally strong this
year. Already leading democrats are
feeling just a little shaky as they CON
template the coming cyclone. Mr..
Seavey, the ole nc stand by for
auditor, filled tn ifice mxny years,
and always to the best OF satisfaction.
He has never yet been defeated in an
election by the people, and it Is pref
ty certain that he will get there"
with one of his old time majorities
this year. Richard Delanty is one of
the most popular and capable men in
the county. We verify believe that
he will be elected sheriff. Gen. 0h>
yer Wood, who was the republican
candidate for probate judge two
years ago, is again nominated for
office. He merits an election. His
opponent, Judge Whittlesey, is c.
pable official, but is loaded down with
official honors and duties, having
held no less than four offices during
past two years. besides being express
agent and having an abstract law Of
fee. For county treasurer, Mayor
Learned, of this city, is the nominee
"a worthy gentleman who will serve
the public well. For superintendent
of schools, Prof. R. E. Ryan. the
present efficient incumbent has been
renominated. His reelection goes
without saying.
For county commissioners, Messrs.
Andrew Weymouth, George Cooper
and John Huntingford are the nom-
inees. Mr.. Weymouth has served
acceptably for two years Messrs.
Cooper and Huntingford are among
the best and most capable citizens in
the county; they will make a strong
run, and the taxpayers will risk
nothing in electing them. The cam
didate for coroner, Mr.. Wyekos, is
the present incumbent, prompt and
capable. T. NJ Hammond, jr., cam
didate for surveyor, is practical
surveyor, of the firm of Fortman s.
Hammond, and member of one oi
the old pioneer families of the coun-
ty. Capt. Delgardno, nominee for
wreck-master, is an old experienced
sea-faring man. worthy citizen, and
suitable person for the Office. Alto
gether the ticket is well nigh invin-

Independent,
The s. +. Chr ontcte Is alive on all
political issues. 1t propounds the
following nuts for our democratic
brethren to crack. Who will respond :
The Mills bill auts olive oil on the
free list. Is that seven per cent re-
ductionf
The Mills bill puts lumber on the
free list. Is that a seven per cent re-
duction?
The Mills bill puts salt, boracic
acid, beans, dates and grapes. figs
and quicksilver on the free list
Does the reduction in these cases
amount to only seven per cent?
Raisins are reduced from 2 cents
per pound to II cents. Is that only
seven per cent?
These are all California products.
Our concern is as to what touches
them, and not with averages. In
fact, the Mills bill attacks all the in :
dustries on which We rely, and there
tCre must be considered as 4 direct
blow at us, and should be resented
accordingly.

The Logging Output,

G. F. White, Of the Pacific Mill,
has made an interesting statement of
the logging output OF The Sound du-
ring the past year, as follows: Sno-
homish district, 100,00o,000 feet;
Skagit, 66,500,000; Satsop Railroad,
46,000,000; Gray's Harbor railroad,
40,000,000 Ttiilaglanish, 10000, 900;
King county, $4,000, 600; Hoods Ca
nal, 25,090,006, Blabekeed railroad /;
10000, eco, North Bay, 100000;
Olympia and vicinity, S0,000,000 feet;
WILDLY Island, 100000 feet; north
of Point Wilson, 100000 feet,
Whatcom and vicinity, 1900, ,Obc, a
total OF s34, ,OG6, 900. The estimate OF
the lumber product for the coming
year is as follows Port Blakeiy, 75,-
100000 feet; Tacoma Mill COMPANY.
63, 900, 900 .feeh PORT Gamble. 48,OO0.,
0ec Feet; Port Discovery. 3G,O00,00O
feet; Port Hadlock, 35,000,000; ST.
Paul and Tacoma Lumber company,
30, 100000; Port Ludlow. 2s,0o1 0G0,
Port Madison 24.000,000; Stetson
and Post and Utsalady each $4,000, :
900; Oregon Improvement Company.
100000; Commercial Mill Co., Gig
Harbor and Port Townsend each.
$4,000, 900; total of 437, 100000 feet.
If this estimate is correct it implies
that there will be an increase in the
output OF, about 4o,0O0,0OG feet. The
above, calculations do not take into
consideration all the numerous mills
in the Sound district whose output
is comparatively small. The lumber
estimates are made, on the basis OF
all mills working en- full time. They
are how operated on four-fi -fifths time.

TROUBLE ANTICIPATED.
GERMANY VIOLATES AN AGREEMENT OF
OUR GOVERNMENT.

GERMANY VIOLATES AN AGREEMENT OF
OUR GOVERNMENT.
A Washington special says the
Samoan trouble has reached a point
which makes its satisfactory settle-
ment matter of very great concern
to the United States, and most care
full attention is being paid to it by
our government. President Cleve-
land has recently taken held of the
subject, al i there is reason to be-
lieve that it will soon be laid before
the cabinet for consideration. The
recent course of Germany in carry
ing off the Samoan king and setting
up an insurgent in his place, certain-
iy appears to be fragrant violation
OF agreement between that govern
ment and Great Britain and the
United States, that the autonomy Of
the Samoan island shall not be dis
tJrbed. The Samoans have revolted
agai lst the king set up by the Ger
mans and had him and his party
cooped up in the capital It is easy
to see that complications more SER
ious than any that have gone before
may follow the present situation, and
there is strono feeling here. II is
time for the United States to take
some decisive p toward curbing
Cermany's aggressions. The COM
tinued independence and neutrality
of the Samoan islands is of high inn
POI oance to this government espee-
tally, because the islands lie practi-
cally In the track of all vessels using
either of the projected Isthmus ca
rails. Opinions are divided as to the
best course for this government to
adopt, but from what can be learned
in the state department circles. a
movement of some kind may be ex-
peeted soon, and it may not be in the
direction of consenting to any fur
ther aggressive violations of the
German ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
