FRI ON north to south, east to west
all through this fair land, the wires the
past few days have proclaimed the
glad tidings that 700 human beings,
who have been considered lost have
been rescued from what might be
termed the jaws o! death. The news
OF the loss Of the steamer Danmark,
the unsuccessful search for any trace
OF her by a large fleet OF ocean-going
craft, the vanishing Of all hope when
one of the missing yes els boats, bat
tered and smashed, W S picked up. and
now the welcome news OF the res ne
and safety of this large cargo of human
freight, all sounds more like romance
than a reality. Captain Murrell the
rescuer, is indeed noble man and car
ries the praise showered on him for his
humane act with becoming dignity.
A number of the passengers on the
lost vessel were bound for this secti n
of the country, and that fact alone
tends to interest the people here to
some extent IN the matter more than
ordinary. 1t is to be hoped that time
may travel as far as the millennium
ere the press Of the land are Gale d
upon to chronicle another &C ident oil
this kind and human bel gs subjected
to a like experience.

To The DEMOCRACY OF WASHINGTON TERRI |
TORY.
In view OF the coming proclamation OF the /
Governor. ordering an election to be heid s on
of delegates to the approaching constitutional !
Convention, at Olympia, July 4th next ensuing, !
the Territorial Democratic Committee, TouIi
recommend that the Democracy Of the Terri

vention to place in nomination two candidates
for delegates to said constitutional ConSen-
tiou.
1t is urged that the several nominating con
ventions be held day not later than May 7th.
may be desisnsted BY the local or district de-
committees. c. II. WARNER
". KAurHAS, Chairman
COlfax, ". T., April II, 1889.
In publishing the above Official an
nouncsmcnt of the Democratic Terri
torial Committee, We desire to express
GU, dissent from the pr-ctice that has
grown up in the Central Committee Of
recommending q line of action for
counties or districts. 1t seems to us
that this is an exhibition Of a central
ixing tendency and violation of the
Democratic principle Of home rule.
The Central Committee should con-
fine itself to general recommendations,
and leave all details to the commit
tees of smaller Subdivisions.
Aside from this, we have taken the
POSITION, and intend to hold to it, that
politics should cut no figure whatever
in the election Of delegates to the con
vention which is to form our organic
law. We desire to see the least posi-
bic amount of partisan machinery
used in presenting candidates, ant
want to see the best materi,l the Ter
ritory can afford sent up as delegate'
regardL ss of the party to which the.
belong. It is the common purpose o
the people, which may be heard ex
pressed upon every corner by men o
all parties, to support the best mel
presented to them for delegates.
To have been . delegate to our Con
stitutional Convention will be higl
and lasting honor to those men VIII
may prove themselves equal to tn
great responsibility which will be lai
upon them BY their election, and it j
our hope that no one may be c!ecte
"a delegste who has not tho ability
knowledge, industry and patriotism, t
win and wear the laurel leaf which la
always been awarded to the wise Law
maker.

A Michigan avenue car stopped at
Second street yesterday to permit a
young lady and gentleman to get on.
AS the former, who was young as we'll
as pretty, passed forward to accept
seat offered her, she tripped over the
outstretched foot of an individual who
was sitting at the rear of the car.
In an instant she was almost at full
length in the bottom, of the car. The excla-
nations of the passengers and the black
looks they directed at the extended Stun
bling block should have caused its owner
to sink through the seat Quicker al
most than she went down, however, she
was on her feet again, and gracefully
acknowledging the courtesy Of the gen.
tleman who surrendered his seat
She was greatly embarrassed, and her
escort looked like a thunder cloud and as
if he would like to punch the head of the
fellow who had caused all tho trouble.
But he didn't He contented himself
with occasionally stepping vigorously on
the still extended and offending foot
There did not seem to be the least sign
Of consciousness from its owner, while
the passengers awaited the denouement.
Finally, will, lurch from the car as an
excuse, the foot received another fero-
cious dig that was SO pronounced as to
almost twist the man out OF the seat.
Thinking that perhaps he had really III
jured the mar, the escort inuttered an
excuse that was received in great equa-
ninaity, with the gratifying explanation:

Morris Tribune: On the 18th
inst. the Duluth, Milbank, Huron and
Chamberlain railroad company COM
pleted its organization ut Huron, S.
d., and signed articles Of incorpora-
ton With Il capital OF S3,OUU,UOU.
Tive officers are: President, D. w.
Diggs, Milbank; vice president, Col.
W. II. Lamb, Clark; secretary, lrv-
ing Bath, Milbank; treasurer, J. |,
Stearns, Chamberlain. The line is
from Morris. Mimi, where it connects
with the Little Falls and Dakota Di-
vision of the Northern Pacific, to
Chamberlain, on the Misscu ri river
via Milbank, Clark and Huron. The
distance is $50 miles, through a
country occupied by thrifty towns
and villages and populated with an
energetic and ambitious class of
farmers aud stock raisers. The above
company is expected to construct the
road from the Minnesota state line to
Chamberlain. If the Little Falls
branch is extended from our city to
the state line Of South Dakota. it will
require another company. We pre-
sumo, to complete the work. The
towns on the line Of the proposed
road in South Dakota are wide awake
on the matter of building the road
and IRE determined to put the project
through TO completion.

The conclusion is reached by the
Sitka correspondent Of the New York
Times that in spite of all precautions
and even with free police jurisdiction
in Behring Sea conceded to our
revenue cutters, the fur seal is doomed
to determination there, like the
Buffalo on the prairies. This view is
based on observing that the shooting
OF seals i'll the open sea, in which
wasteful form Of hunting four out OF
five thus slaughtered sink and are lost
is now carried on outside of Behrine
Sea, during the northward migration
of these animals to their breeding
grounds on the Pribylow Ialands.
Hence, it is argued, the protection Of
all Behring Sea cannot stop the
inroads upon seal life i'll the North
Pacific, where no jurisdiction is
possible. 1t must be said, however
that the Government experts reject
this gloomy view, holding that seals
enough have their habitat in Behring
Sea alone to supply the world, if pro.
tected from wasteful slaughter
Treasury agent Moves reckoned the
number of breeding seals OH St. Paul
and St, George islands two years age
more than 6,5oO,O0O. Agent Tingle
estimated them at about 100000
but added that sit is certain that this
vast number is still on the increase
and seal life, if protected by law may
be perpetuated indefinitely.

Reports continue that English cap
ital is seeking investment in Ameri-
can -four mills, breweries, and other
manufacturing plants, and fears are
expressed that the vast wealth Of
England may control some of the
leading industries Of this country.
We can see no reason for fear in this
matter. England today is not as
rich u country as the United States,
aud the fear Of the less wealthy pur-
chasing the other seems unreasonable.
The American manufacturers who sell
to Englishmen will certainly get their
pay, and these receipts will imnedi,
ately be reinvested in new enterprises
adding to the wealth and prosperity
of the nation. Every dollar of Eng
fish money money that comes to this
country, will be u benefit, and if the
Minneapolis -four mills were sold to
Englishmen tomorrow there would be
several million more dollars of money
in Minnesota which would soon be in.
vested in enterprises Of advantage tt
the state.
