A DOUBLE HEADER.
The Hardware Train for Spokane
Falls Will Arrive To-day.

The magnificent and gaily decorated
train laden with general hardware for
Holley, Mason, Marks & Co. ; and drawn
by two monster mogul locomotives will
arrive in Spokane Falls this Sunday
evening. II originally consisted of
twenty-four loaded cars, but it was
deemed inadvisable to attempt to cross
the mountains with this tremendous
load, SO three cars were dropped out AT
Chicago and will follow in day or two.
The train us sent. through by express
,ifnc consists of over six hundred thous.
and pounds. The high grades on
the mountain divisions taxed two pow
erfil engines to their utmost and caused
IL delay, otherwise the train would have
come IN yesterday with the through ex-
press train.
The people of Spokane Falls and other
cities and towns relying upon this me.
tropolis for supplies will have no further
cause to complain of Il scarcity Of this
commodity, us Holley, Mason, Marks ~
Co. will put this immense stock of hard
ware OH sale early in the week. Their
large store on Howard street and Rail
road avenue will be crowded to its ut
most to handle this immense stock OF
goods but the enterprising firm will
manage IL somehow and. to the entire
satisfaction of all their patrons.

IONS of n large number OF republicans

lind single one who was not satisfied
with the nominations. OF the many eX-
pressions received the following viii
serve to show with what satisfaction the
ticket is regarded by leading members
OF the party.
8. c. Hyde: The ticket is good one,
especially the legislative part of il, and
that is Che most Important part and the
Dne on which the most interest centered.
II. Il. Eloughton: A ticket of great
strength and one which will be elected,
IN. Ridpath. 1t is a ticket which will
be endorsed AZ the polls. My election as
chairman of the county central commit
tee was Al surprise to me, but with the
right kind of cooperation on the part OF
tile members of the county centralcOm-
mitlce, we will close the campaign with
yietory.
Hon. John l.. wilson: The ticket is
one OF the strongest and best ever pre-

.Justice TIeld,s Hrother.

David Dudley Field was in Chicago a
few days ago, as president of the Amer
lean Law Association. Mr.. Fields view
on the recent killing of Judge Terry i'll
California, and the latters assault upon
his, brother, Justice Field, do not appear
TO be based by any personal feeling in tho
matter. at suggests TO a thing to which
too little attention has been paid, 'he
says" land that is the almost total lack
of superior respect that | think is due
the United States bench. Democracy
has gone somewhat too far The su
preme bench is, in n way, one of the co.
ordinate parts of this government 1t is
entitled to respect as such. In measure
it should be esteemed and held as in
violate as the executive. The same
causes that contribute to our special re-
spect for the executive should also lead
the American people to proper regard
for the bench. 1T does not appear to do
so. The supreme and United States
judges must he protected BY the govern
ment when it is necessary
Mr.. Field and General w. i. Sherman
had some conversation yesterday in
reference to the assault, in which Gen
eral Sherman expressed the same views.
in this county, said General Sher-
man, we ind almost none of the respect
paid royalty in foreign countries, aud /
don't think 1t altogether for the best. It
is something particularly due the SUI
preme bench, and I am OF the opinion
that this episode has been a good les.
son."
Mr.. Field thought Governor Water
mans letter to the acknowledgement of
California instructing him to quash the
indictment against Nagle justified from
legal point of view, as he shares the
opinion OF General Butler. s'General
Butler" he says, ''afiirms that an indi-
vidual would have been called upon to
show that his or the life of those in his
charge was in imminent danger from
violence ut the hands of the assailant,
but in the present case 1t was wholly
within the discretion of Nagle 10 decide
the point"

mittee appointed by the commercial con-
ference yesterday TO formulate plan for

A Girl and m snake,

One of portland's bright young ladies
has decided taste for studies in natural
history, and woe to the bug, beetle or
butterfly which comes within her reach.
She docs not share in the general aver
sion to the reptile family but handles
toads, lizards, and even snakes, familiarly
and iearlosSly.
one day last week she was at Peak 5
island with friends, and in their ram
blcs about the fields and swanps she
bagged a number of specimens Among
them was green snake about two feet
long. The sight of the Squirming
creature evoked screams from the other
feminine members of the party, but the
young naturlist caught it up and allowed
it to coil about her wrist. This was too
much for the feelings of her friends,
however and after while she slipped
the snake into her pocket, for want OF
better Accommodations.
Presently the snake was forgotten.
The party boarded one of the Casco Bay
Compauy's boats, and when about hall
way to the city great commotlon was
suddenly caused among the passengers
by the appearance of green snake
crawling upon the deck. Ladies scream
ed and jumped upon the seats or fled
incontinently, and some of tho sterner
sex were somewhat taken by surprise at
the sight of Il serpent in that unexpected
place, The young woman, as soon as
she realized the situation, sprang to re-
cover her property, but too late. a boat
hand pitched the rertile overheard ano
science had met with another loss.

nishcd thc government by the Western
Union Telegraph Company. While the
details OF the plan have not been ar
progress l. beiug made toward an agree

to the government for telegraph service is
the point at issue, but by no means the
principal question, as Postnaster-Gen-
cral Wnnamaker's plans contemplate Il
considerable enlargement OF the iunc-
tions of the postoflice department in the
direction of fco-operation with the tele-
graph companies to secure cheaper and
better service. The possibility Of a

Tho Tea Trade.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.--The United
States minister to China in his report TO
the department of state, says: "The
curiosftics of the tea trade are sufficiently
interesting to warrant my calling some
attention TO them. Prophecies innum-
cradle have been made that Indian teas
would drive other teas out of the market,
but we find from summary of the first
weeks tea business in Kan Kow, which

May u, that never, not even when
India and Ceylon teas were un known,
has competition been so great and prices
SO high The prices are high because of
competition. While in London last sea-
son teas were being sold at q sacrifice,
reaching 80 per cent, the new season $
teas in China are eagerly competed for
at prices 20 and 30 per cent higher than
last years. The only thing for China to
do to permanently retain her trade Is 10
take OIL her export duty"

GIVES IRIS REASONS.
This is the View OF the Garfield En-
t.rprise.

As the question of locating the capital
of the new state OF Washington is to be
decided by ballot this fall, it behooves
every voter to investigate the merits of
the various asprant5 The Enterprise
maintains its position taken more than
q year ago, viz: by virtue of her central
position, accessibility, pleasing condi-
lions of climate and the fact that the To-
cation is one conducive 10 the greatest
good to the greatest number, Yakima is
entitled TO the capital. True, it is not
the exact geographical ccntcr, but the
geographical center is not the center 0.
population, and rever can be. Those
who arc acquant ad with the topography
of the country need not be told that the
boundary line is mountainous and
must ever remain sparsely set
fled For this reason the cen
ter of population will be found south of
the geographical center. Every citizen
of Eastern Washington should be inter
csted in this question. Ii is unjust that
we should be compelled to traverse
almost the entire length of the state and
cross range of mountains to reach the
capital, and unless the voters of Eastern
Washington concentrate their votes
upon some point, this state of affairs is
likely to continue. AS Yakima is en-
tirely unohiectionable as TO surround
inGs, her central position should give her
ia. p,viersncC.
The Oregonian speaking editorally OF
this subject, says: North Yakima
comes 20 the front rs a candidate for the
capital of the new state of Washington.
Tho situation is as central and accessible
as any other point in the state; the sur.
roundings are attractive, and the natural
resurccs of the adjacent country are
great, North Yakima is ON the main
/ line of the Northern Pacific, and is
reached from both the Eastern and
built IL will be accessible from the
| Southern part. North Yakima means tc

citizens think she has good chances O
