NEEDS.

AmSng the several needs Of Port
Townsend there are none greater
than additional hotel facilities.
With the activity now being expert
eneed here new arrivals are coming
in daily and they must be accommo-
dated with beds and food. Before
the end of the summer if the rush
continues there will not be houses
enough or rooms enough in the var
ious hotels and lodging houses to
meet the demand.
There must be an additional hotel
and while the matter is under con-
sideration, let it be made first class
as TO the management and appoint
ments. 1t makes no difference to
which corner of the earth one goes
TIE same question may be heard from
travellers. What sort of hotel ac-
commodations have they" The
Tacoma at Tacoma has done as much
TO build up that city as anything
else. People go there and find
every :hiug first class, and they re-
main even longer than they antlcI'
pated. No one ever hears of any one
leaving Tacoma because OF poor ho
tel facilities; on the contrary, it bear;
reputation for excellence IN thai

! tinent. 1t is farcical to look upoI
the erection of q new hote! as a mon

such a necessity. AS long as you
want capitalists to believe such non
sense as that just SO long will we b'
without a good hotel.
The capitalists of Port TOWNSEND
are not looking for monuments
they are after more government
bonds and good returns on capita

Here is a paragraph for the good
Christian people who subscribe and
donate SO much money in sending
Bibles to the heather, to read and
ponder over. In many parts of
China, says the New York Tribune,
the Bibles given TO the natives by
the missionaries are used in the
manufacture of boot soles. And
then there are hosts of people calling
themselves Christians who worship
images and pictures and kiss a mar
bic toe and are as much idolaters
and heather as the bIack-visased
Buddhist or the prone votaries of
the Juggsrnaut.

A New Banana Field.

A New York firm has secured an
island near Cuba, where they have
succeeded in developing the finest
bananas ever seen in the United
States. Some of the punches are
very nearly as large as -four barrels.
The plantation is is by 20 miles in
area. Railways traverse it 50 as to
rush the fruit to the shore, and the
crops now maturing on 100000 acres
is 100000 bunches. Beginning
with September the firm proposes to
land cargo in New York every day.
The amount of money already eI.

ne past year more improve
We made to this city than at
auy ,.4.o since it was Incorporated,
and these improvements are due to
the efforts of few of our council
men. Nor has 1t been IN easy mat
ser for the men to carry their point.
The old mossback cry has been
heard on many occasions when street
improvements, new water works, etc,
has been mentioned, You will run
Hs into debt" Well. suppose the
city does go IN debt. Would it not
thousand times better to be in
for SIX months and have al IN
3 and healthy city than to leave
ers as they have been for the
decade and drive people away.
We venture the assertion that the
eity's population has grown more in
the past year than it did in any three
years previous to this. And the
population will continue to increase
in greater proportion if new blood
can be infused into the mossbaeks,
and thereby SO lessen the gulf that
the Venturesome straddle bug can
cover IT. What's the use, ye moss
backs, of fighting against the newt
able? Can you not realize that you
are daily losing ground, that the
young idea is gradually taking place
of the old ones? There is a slang
expression that is most suitable II
your cases, Don't be a clam" You
will ask now what that means. It
means man who sticks to an idea
that he heard his great, grandfath-
or express years ago, and he be-
lieyes it. because his ancestor did.
That's clam in the sense in which
1t is written above. A man, whether
he be a politician or private citizen,
Is a clam, who sticks to mouldy,
moss-coyered ideas, man, who, when
asked his opinion on the subject of
improvements, must allow his
thoughts to revert to the time of his
grandfather to find out what he
would de if he was on this terrestrial
sphere, before giving an answer, is q
clam IN its strictest sense.

costs. money, and We depend upon
the members of our city council tc
push the measures through. During
the next few days the gnlt between
the Democratic party and power
must be widened SO that COLOSSUS

Judge Butier Removes tiae Charge
OF contempt in the lsoessicr Case.
TRENTON, March 28.-An important de-
cision has just been fled IN the United
states circuit court by Judge Butler, sit
ting for Judge Nixon, who is i'll at Allan
tic City, N. j. It interests every drug
eist in the United States and is known IS
the great chlorofofm case.
For over thres years this Gaze has been
pending in the courts. Messrs. Roeasler
and Hasslaoher OF New York have been
by an injunction restrained from
the manufacture OF chloroform, 1t
being claimed that it was in
fringement on the proprietary rights of
Naohach's and other manufacturers.
They claimed damages amounting in the
aggregate 10 nearly quarter of a million
OF dollars.
Tho latter phase of the case was for
contempt, of which the defendants have
been cleared by the opinion which has
been rendered. This relieves the entire
drug trade of the country from the legal
action with which they have been threat
ened. The defendants claim this great
victory and that 1t meaus great victory
for the advocates of cboap chloroform.

Our readers are doubtless all familiar
with the Robinson poisoning cases, which
have recently come TO light In Bonner
Vile, Mass, o suburb OF Boston.
It seems that eight deaths have 90
Cured from arsenical poisoning, seven
in one tamily and within five years. II
10 doubtless if the murderers would have
been brought TO justice had not an or
ganization in which the victims were in
sured began an investigation as 10 why
so many persons had suddenly died in
one family.
But tho sensation from medical point
of view connected with the case, took
place in Boston at recent meeting OF
the Massachusetts, Medico- Legal Society
when il was stated by DIR. Holt that there
was general ignorance Of the symptoms
of arsenical poisoning and because OF
such ignorance the Robinson poisoning
cases had gone ON without accusing the
suspicion OF medical men. The Robinson
cases were all treated by regular physi-
clans, with correct diplomas, men sup-
posed to know what they were doctoring
for, and to know the effect OF drugs on
certain cases. Yet in the Ave deaths
from arsenical poisoning of which We
speak, certificates Of death were given
for pneumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis,
bowel disease, and kright's disease.
Such d commentary on the general ig-
norance OF the medical profession, made
by one of its own number, We believe TO
be without parallel.
Is it any wonder that patients are los
ing faith in their doctors2 Here we're
five able bodied people slowly poisoned
| with arsenic before their very eyes aud
yet these very wise medical men were
doctoring them for pneumonia, typhoid
fever, meningitis, bowel disease and
Brights disease.
In the very same manner thousands OF
patients are being treated this day fol-
pneumonia, heart trouble, dropsy, in
cipient consumption, &c, when these
are but symptoms OF advanced kidney
disease, which is but another name for
Brights disease. The doctors do not
strike at the seat of the disease--the

known specific for this aud ali other
forms of kidney disease they would lei
their patients die, and then give u death
certificate that death was caused by peri,
carditis, apoplexy, phthisis or cardiac
affection.
Is this not the honest truth Do you
not know in your own personal history
very many instances where physicians
doctored the wrong disease, and caused
untold suffering, aud many times, death
Which leads us to remark that very much

observation, aud that the doctors are very
far from having monopoly Of the
