They Still Loved Each Other.


A dispatch from Chambersburg,
Pa, dated December Goth, contained
the following interesting piece of
news:
DR.. Ct. A. Hammill, of Martinsburg,
w. Va, and Lillian Benton Hamill,
of Hagerstown. Md, arrived here on
the late train on the Western Mary
land Railroad, last night, accompa-
MED by the little daughter of the lady.
The parties had formerly been hus-
band and wife, and We're divorced in
June, 1887. Soon after their arrival,
DIR. Hammill announced that he wished
TO be married, and friendly police
undertook the job Of procuring a
license. The doctor said that they
had eloped from HagerstOwn, that he
had taken the lady and the little girl
away from her home in a cab, which
he had waiting for them in an alley.
The office of the clerk of the courts
was closed, and trip to his home re-
suited in another disappointment, as
he had left town. The doctor and
policeman then went to the house of
the deputy clerk, but he would not
go down town to the courthouse to
issue the license Finally the dock
cts were carried to the home of the
deputy, who issued the license. 1t
was now after midnight, but a justice
of the peace was hunted up and taken
to the Montgomery Hotel, where the
lady was stopping. The ceremony
was performed by the justice, in the
parlors of the hotel, at half-past one
o'clock thi. morning. Police officers
Null and Swisher acted as witnesses.

The Chicago Railroad Age says the
railway mileage of the country was
increased during the year by 7,120
miles of main track, much less than

mileage was, respectively, 1900,

The withdrawal of Mr. Haines and
other developments on the sound ap-
pear to leave the United States sena=
torial field comparatively free for
Hon. Watson G. Squire of Seattle.
The fact of the matter is. the people
OF Seattle are shrewd enough to pre-
ceive that the interests of that city
will be advanced by having a repre-
sentative In the United States senate
and perhaps all else will be made to
yield, if necessary to that consumma-
tion 30 devoutly to be wished. The
people OF Spokane Falls, as the me-
tropolis of Eastern Washington, have
q strong inclination IN the same di-
rection. A senator and governor may
be chosen from among the able men
OF Seattle. 4 senator and congress
man may be chosen from Spokane
Falls. We have able and popular
men, however, who are aspiring to
other positions and when the time
comes fair and proper adjustment
may doubtless be readily made.
Many are called but only few can
be ehossn.-Epekape Revie,c.

We trust that our readers will ex-
cuse us if we offer an unsolicited
word as to our position in the coming
can paign.
The ARGUS has no candidates and
belongs to no faction. 1t intends to
support the nominees Of the conven-
ton no matter who they may be.
We believe in strict party fealty and
at all times will be found supporting
the Republican ticket. For Mug
wumps we have no use, and would rs
soon trust them as midnight bur
glar. Such men we do not believe
in conciliating. Men OF that stamp
cannot be depended upon and The
party is better off without them. OF
the convention all we ask is that they
strive to get the best men that can
be found in the party. The men that
they select, Will be, VIC are confident,
such as will bring out the full vote
of the party.
The ARGUS does not believe that it
is the concentrated wisdom of ages.
consequently it is willing to ascribe
to the convention somo Judgment. 1t
firmly believes that the convention
knows its duty, and will perform it

New York is making the prelimi-
nary preparations looking to the
holding of worlds fair there in
1892. That will be the four hun
dredth anniversary of the discovery
of America by Christopher Columbus,
and New York assumes that the pro
per place to hold worlds fair is
within her own borders, although
| some of the other cities, Chicago for
example, are not SO ready TO concede
New YOrk's claims to being the most
cosmopolitan and most representa-
tive city of the western hemisphere.
Christopher Columbus gets all the
honor OF discovering America, al
though it is pretty generally conced-
ed that he was not the first to set
foot on the silent shore of the new
world. The new world owes much
to Spain, however, although Spain
has little to show for what she did
for civilization on this side OF the
broad Atlantic. Cuba still remains
10 her, but it is certain that Cuba will
some day throw off her allegiance to
Spain and attach herself to the Uni
ted States A movement in this di-
rection has been nipped in the bud
already more than once. But the
whole western hemisphere is interest
ed in Christophere Columbus and
looks back upou him with kind of
filIai respect. II he had been a war
rior a monument would have been
erected to commemorate his victories.
BGt he killed nobody. He only dis
covered world.

Every Republican voter owes it to
himself to attend the primaries to-
night and vote for delegates to the
county convention. Upon the judg-
ment of the delegates elected de-
ponds the selection of proper men to
represent the district in the first leg
islature in the new state. The men
who go to Olympia to represent
the district should bs men of ability
and honest convictions; men who
have sufficient force of character to
resent any overtures made them by
members of the third house." II
must be understood that no more inn
portant measures will ever be intro
duced than will come before this leg
islature, the members of which will
be elected this fall. The Republi-
cans must nominate men who are
known to be sure winners. Hereto
fore the party has shown luke warm
ness in the matter OF priRaries; this
time, however, it is TO be hoped that
every voter in the party will be pres
ent and cast his ballot. Fortunately
there is no split in the party here and
charges OF corruption will not be
heard as In Seattle. The RepubIi-
cans are united and through that will
win. The delegates nominated are
from among the old and new citizens
and represent the different walks in
life. There cannot be any fault
found with it by either the old or
young Republicans. Vote the ticket
as It is and representative men will
be nominated for the Legislature. If
the ticket is elected you emphasize
the fact that the Republicans here
are united.

The political machinery has com.
menced to move in regulation style.
Candidates galore are in the field
willing to have honors thrust upon
them or to be relegated to the shades
of 'inocuous desuetude." Washing
ton is Republican. There is inspira-
ton and assurance in the name, and
with the closing of the canvass upon
the 1st day of October next we will
flash the glad tidings across the
country that the party of progress
and enlightenment is still dominant
and that free trade Democracy in
Washington is thing of the past.
1t is eminently fitting that Washing
ton should be Republican at the next
election. Upon Columbia's fair brow
four bright and shining gems are
about to be added. Washington Is
one of these. She is about to be ad-
mitted into the grand sisterhood OF
states, and her star of hope is in the
ascendency. Let not her entrance
into the Union be tainted with the
odor of the graveyard of Democracy.
Let not her bright youth and brill
liant future be bIightsd by union
with this party of decaying reminis-
eences. Republicans, organize,
Marshal your forces and upon the LIST
day of October present solid front.
Do away with cliques, factions, inter
nal strife and petty qusrfels and let
there be united party. Do this and
Washington, the fairest of the fair,
the best and grandest of them alli
Will have been wrested from the cor
rupting grasp of Bourbon Democra-
cy, and will enter the Union pure
and spotless in character, uusullied
in reputation, ali honor to herself and
the pride and glory of her people.

: lfsstD 10 TIE DELEGATES

Iae EcDtjemeu who were elected
oa Saturday AS delegates TO the
county convention have a most im-
poc;ant duty TO perform. In selecting
candidates for the Legislature they
mast bear liz mind that the men
whom they choose will have to make
laws governing the most vital ques-
tons that pertain to the future vel
fare Of the state OF Washington.
Upon these gentlemen will devolve
the duty of properly putting in mo
ton the ma ohinery Of our new state
government, and they should then
in consequence be men who are fully
qualified and competent for the po-
s,tion Of Legislators. The delegates
should endeavor to select the ablest
Republicans that can be found in
Jefferson county. Men who are
conyersant with the wants and needs
OF this section and men who will
command attention in the Legislature.
The selection of candidates for the
legislature should receive careful
and thoughtful consideration. 1t
viii be most injudicious to choose
men because they represent this OF
that candidate for the .. S. senate
That is question that should not
govern the convention in selecting
candidates for the Legislature. The
main question to be determined is,
= this man or that one fully compe
.ent to represent this county in the
legislature? Nominate the best men
in the party and you will see then,
elected. The Republican party must
succeed this fall. To accomplish that
end We must put into the field tick,
ct of unacceptionable merit.
The gentlemen who are sent as
delegates to Walla Walla, should be
the Representative men of the party
Upon these men. in part, will de-
7olve the selection of the state Off
GERS; therefore, should they be men
who are conversant with the leading
men of our territory.
If the delegates act with an eye
single to the future welfare of Jeffer-
son county, and the coming state oi
Washington, they will not go amiss
or make mistake.

The hop harvest on the sound is
fast approaching and growers are
busy preparing their ki!ns. The
only apprehension is that rain may
come during picking and thus give
the hops bad color. AS far as the
baling is concerned there will be a
decided Improvement this year, at
least among the large growers as
they intend to adopt the new Cali
fornia horsepower press, thus avoid
ing the tfamping which was nsces-
sary in the old way. Arrangements
are being made whereby a special
train of hops will leave here about
the middle of September, make spec
ial time to the Atlantic seaboard and
having hops on the London market
ten or fifteen days quicker than any
previous season.

One OF the men recently discharged
from the government printing office
bears the peculiar name Of Oyster.
He is turncOat dear to the heart Of
a Mngwump, for during MS term IN
the government service he has been

stalwart Democrat, then 4 Mugwump

IS an ardent Republican, although
ne had denounced Garfield and the
Republican party because he declared
both were against the eight-hour law.
1t was found on investigation that
Oyster had provided places for no
less than four Of lis relatives, who
were in the printing Office, while his
wife was in the land office and a son
had Il S1400 clerkship in the interior
department.. OF these only three
now remain. Oyster has gone to
New York to manipulate the labor
organizations in the interest Of his
candidacy for public printer. He
has boastod that he will so arrange
his forces that he can get the place
whether the Republicans or Demo
Gratis win. With his record it will be
as impossible for him 10 succeed as
to raise himself by his boot-straPs-
The labor organizations are getting
tired of being used as the catspaw of
corrupt politicians.
