Hong Kwok. ChineEs cook. brought

Mr.. r. w. Wakefield, general super
intendent of track bridges and buildings
of the o. X. & n. railway company and
]. f. Ingersoll claim agent OF the same
company, visited the city yesterday and
made some large purchases of land. This
probably shows the way straws are
blowing. We expect the Cali to call
this IN ,re unreliable news published to
injure the town.
Francisco Petro. an Italian charged
with larceny of gold watch chain and
iocket from the person OF Comedian
Burke was up for a hearing yesterday
morning. He is not very well up in
English, but explained as best he could
that he was sitting IN the box with
Burke on Friday night and a friend of
Burke's came in, removed his watch and
chain and requested Petro to keep it.
The justice thought ths story rather
fishy, and held the prisoner in default
$500 bonds to appear at the October
| term.
The ARGUS defies the Call to prove
that one syllable of the remarks credited
to Charles Francis Adams in the item
published in this paper on Sunday was
untrue and unreliable. Come down off
your perch, Mr.. Editor, and let lis know
just how much you know about the con-
versation and you may get a two line
item. If the ARGUS fails to mention 4
bit of rail road news the public damns
the editor if he does get hold OF some
thing, the afternoon sheet accuses the
editor of publishing something unreli-
able. The editor OF the ARGUS believes
what was published concerning the
bright outlook for Port Townsend. If
the Call cannot believe any good reports
its misfortune in no way reflects on the
paper further down the hollow.

Distinguished Visitors.

Mayor Kuhn, Gov. Moore, Lutte Hast
ings and f. ii. Morrison made very at
tractiye picture as they strolled into the
Key City Club last night. The fact OF
these gentlemen being in the city, and
the railroad meeting to-day, makes it
appear as though there was to be move
in railway circles to-day. This is only q
presumption, ana not published as reli-
able news. Judge Whitman, of Walla
Walla, who came over with the COVER
nor, informed us that Mr. Morrison is
here on railway business, but he was
not acquainted with the nature OF it.
The judge is an old Washington pioneer
who knows good thing when he sees it,
for that reason he settled in Walla Walla,
the fairest of the cities east of the noun
tains. He is always on the lookout for
good things, and with that in view he is
here to look around"

LIFT Us HAVE THE TRUTH.

In an article headed Let us have
peace, the Olympian criticises our
action IN expressing an opinion as to
the mental calibre OF the delegates
composing the constitutional conven-
tion.
We would belle our name did we
not see and herald the mistakes and
defects of others With our many
eyes We daily in the Olynpidn see
statements that shock our sense of
trnth. 10 illustrate, we would have
our readers peruse the following ex-
tracts:
Olympia is the head of navigation -
Surely the pseuedo editor of the
Otympidu must be member of some
Ananias club, for no one else could
Be guilty of such a monstrous
speech.
Following the article wherein we
are taken to task. is one headed
"Straws," in which occurs this Ian
guage:
In The discussion in the conVen-
tion yesterday, We observe the law
yers who are suspected of being as
pirants for the bench of either the
supreme or superior courts, labored
persistently for fixing high salaries
for the judges, among which Judge
Turner WAS prominent and who
practically announced his candidacy
If our conduct, in referring to the
mental capacity of the delegates to
the convention was reprehensible
what can be said of the language ol
the OlympiGn.
He charges that Judge Turner and
some of his colleagues were guilty Of
the endeavor to advance their OWL
interests to the detriment of the pub
lie service. To charge a man with
being an imbecile is not half as
grave crime as to charge man
with moral turpitude.
Charging some of the gen,
tlemen of the convention with
advocating high salaries, because
OF the possibility of them be-
coming the recipient of the same, is
an unworthy and uncalled-for charge
With all its hundred eyes" the
ARGUS is too manly to charge the
members of the constitutional con-
vention with prostituting their posi-
tions for the sake of the salaries OF
a few offices.
sit seems strange" that the Olyna-
plan, even with one eye, "has been
unable to see that its remarks were
not only ill-tuned," and in very bad
taste, but untrue.
The editor doubtless from his seat
upon Mount Olympus, imagines that
he cen throw stones without break

The head of the criminal investi-
cation department of the Paris po-
lice has rather a contemptuous opin-
ion of the London cop" He says
that the English policeman is good
enough fellow to keep cabs moving
on, and similar occupations, but is
not worth cent when it comes to
ferreting out the perpetrators of
mysterious crimes. 1t is just posi-
bic that the assumption that the
French police are infinitely superior
to those of Lsndon may be correct,
but evidently the critic of the British
bobby" has overlooked his remark
able exploits in the line of detecting
dynamiters, We venture to say that
no police force in the world could
have accomplished more arrests for
this crime than tho English. Why,
at one time they We're SO vigorous
that an Irishman landing in any
port OF the United Kingdom, was
sure to be jailed as dynamite con-
spirator. And what made the ac-
complisbment more noteworthy, ow-
ing to the energy of the English po-
lice, many of these suspects were
nearly proved guilty of being dyna-
miters, although they had never seen
a stick of the explosive in their
lives, and were as afraid of it as q
timid girl is of a pistol.

Now that MIR. Blaine and all his
family are away from Washington
occasion has been taken to start the
old story of his "fail1ng health" 4"
AS far as can be learned from those
who ought to know more about the
matter, there is no foundation for
the report. Those who have been
brought into tie closest contact with
Mr. Blaine since March 4 declare
that his health has been remarkably
good during that time, and there is
no apparent decline in it now. His
vlgor of mind and body is shown by
the immense amount of work he
does. Both at his Office and at mis-
private apartments he works stead
lily, dealing with ali the most i'm
portant questions with care and
force. At present he is engaged on
important work. Instead of having
been called to a family conference
over the i'll health of his father the
purpose of Mr. Walker Blaine's last
visit 10 Boston WAS to take to his
father some important papers con-
nected with matters now occupying
the secretary's attention. Secretary
and Mrs. Blaine were in Boston buy
ing furniture for their Bar HArbor
cottage. Some time ago when Sec
retary Blaine renamed away from
the department for a short while,
when lie had the lumbago and it was
reported that he was paralyzed, he
was actually engaged with some
work that kept him writing many
hours day. His interest is most
thoroughly in his department, aud
he is at this time doing some inn
portant work. His going to Maine
at this time is not SO much because
he required the change as that he
had this work to do and could do it
better there, where he would not be
so subject to interruption. Unless
his health has suddenly failed since
he left Washington there is no rea-
son to apprehend his retirement from
the cabinet on that score.

From Vvednesday's Daily.
DoOley's Motor.

When the motor and cars for the rail-
way arrived here on Sunday afternoon,
after just barely escaping the perils OF
the deep, Mr.. Dooley thought his
troubles, SO far as the cars at least were
concerned, were over. But when he was
handed half dozen different freight
bills, amounting to about four hundred
dollars more than the established COM
mercial rate, he bucked, and said he
would not pay it. Mr.. Tibbals declined
to give up the rolling stock, and Mr..
Dooley took out Il writ of replevin, and
gave bonds TO the sheriff. The cars
were released, and nearly ali of yester-
day was spent in drawing them from the
wharf TO Washington street. One gen.
tleman remarked that the motor was the
car used in the winter, and that seats
would be placed around the boilers for
the accommodation of the passengers.

The grading of Washington street
to the summit has been such a vast
improvement over the street in its
former condition that the public now
demand that jefferson street be
graded in the same way. In ten
years, or even five, Washington street
VIII not accommodate the traffic TO
the upper town and there will have
to be another avenue. jefferson
street is the only one, but in its
present condition is neither safe nor
pleasant. The hill could easily be
made less abrupt, and we are in
formed that the owners of property
east of st. Paurs church are willing
that the street should lie grrded and
an assessment made. This matter
was brought before councils last
Friday night and we trust is may be
acted upon favorably.

tration of affairs in the land Office is
new and decidedly fresh when it at
tempts to fix rates in newspapers.
While the present publisher of the
ARGUS is at the helm he will en-
deavor to fix the charges for adver-
tisements without the assistance of
any Of the officers of the govern
ment, no matter what their politics
may be. We Will work for the party
10 the best of our ability, but we

Mayor Kuhn's message to coun-
ellis Friday night embraced all the
points necessary to the proper man
agement of the city's affairs and a
continuation of the improvements
already organized; whether the
council will act in harmony with him
remains to be seen. His Honor was
inte1sely emphatic in the matter of
sewerage and water, going SO far as
to say he would not serve if the
council took no steps toward putting
in system of sewerage and new
water works. To wait until Sickness
overtakes US is the height of Jolly
and mismanagement, and the may
or's suggestions should be acted
upon, and at once. Where there is
an inclination to do thing the way
to do it may easily be found. Re
ferring to the grading of the streets,
continue on Washington and the
cross streets from Water to Jefferson.
These things are not to be delayed
as the mayor wisely said, put it off
until the wet season, and people are
going to be washed ont"
The mayor advocates an economi-
cal administration of affairs, but Ger
tain things must be done and that
quickly. His honor evidently for
got on several occasions he was there
to listen rather than to address, he
apologized for it afterward and one
of the Republican members thanked
him for the suggestions made.
When the matter of crOssWalks
was brought up one of the newly
elected members remarked that it
would be five or six weeks before the
rainy season in and there was
plenty of time to consider that ques
ton. We cannot agree with the
gentleman on that subject The
dust is as bad as the mud will be.
The crosswalks are as great neces-
sity as the sidewalks, and because it
will be several weeks before it sets
in to rain is no reason why the work
should not be done at once Ii the
member who is willing TO wait few
weeks will have for his motto now
is the time" better satisfaction will
be had. Such motto may be used
in other cases with as much adyan-
tage as on crosswalks.

mayor has started the ball, We must

POLITICAL ECHOES.

The constitutional convention
seems to be a hatchins place for all
sorts Of political schemes; but it is
not the only place where carefully
plannei schemes are incubafing.
With 50 many prizes II sight it is
hardly TO be wondered at that ambi-I
tious politicians should be bu-yiug
themselves III trying to aiI nature.
The political ,nbina.iOus. however,
are most to br deprecated Those
gentlemen who band themselves to
gether for the purpose Of parcelling
out the offices among themselves
wit hout consulting the people are
the ones most likely 20 be speedily
taught that it does not always pay
to reckon without their host. The
Republican party felt proud of Hon.
John Is. Allen after it scored such a
splendid victory under his leader
ship last fall; and, although realiz-
ing that the protective issue did it
mostly there was no serious protest
when Mr. Allen claimed all the
credit to himself personally. But
when the Allen-P-L combination
started in to boss things generally,
there were speedy signs of rebellion.
1t may be that the party is unreason-
able IN wanting something to say as
to who Is to be named for state Off
GERS, but such is human nature. The
programme of the bosses, thus far
brought to light. is to make Haines
senator from the west side, Allen
from the east, Hanford chief justice,
and Dunbar, OF Goldendale, is to re
celVe their support for congressman.
They are now hunting for suitable
material for governor. and as soon
as convenient they will probably get
the offices all filed. 1t is very kind
indeed to thus relieve the people Of
all the bother of selecting state Off
GERS. The only drawback about 1t
all is that it is the one thing to-day
menacing Republican success. When
the party rebels against bossism that
rebellion means Democratic success
unless bossism is beaten before nom
nations are made. Mr. allen de-
feated Squire's appointment as gov
ernor, on the ground that The latter
was aspiring to be u S. senator, yet
Mr.. Allen proceeds to use all the
patronage at his own disposal to
boost himself into the senate Not
content with thi~, he attempts to map
out the whole programme, ard name
our officers from senator down
These echoes of facts as they are de-
veloping may not be pleasant for
Republicans who are anxious to win
another party victory this fall; but
they might as well be understood
before the damage is Irreparable.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

The contest for senator, as the
time for the election draws near, is
narrowing itself down to three can
didates and I place them in the or
der of their strength-Watson g.
Squire, Thomas II. Brents and A.
N. Cannon.
Beyond a doubt can it be written,
that Mr. Squire will be the senator
from this side of the mountains.
At the present outlook Mr.. Brents
is much stronger east of the cascades
than is Mr.. Cannon. AS Mr. Allen
grows weaker, which he does every
day, Mr.. Brents grows correspond
ingly stronger.
On every side you can hear en-
comiums spoken of Mr.. Brents. His
steadfastness to his friends is COM
mented upon, and his ability and
fitness for the position is recognized.
The sentiments of the following
artlcle copied from the Milton Eagle,
We heartily endorse:
Washington Territory newspapers
are nearly unanimous in their sup
port of Hon. Thos. H. Brents for U.
8. senator from the new state. He
is sure the coming man, and a more
honest or capable legislator is not to
be found within the borders of Wash
ington. Mr.. Brents is a man whom
the body of the people like for his
open honesty, unassumlng ability
and gentlemanly demeanor to all
He has had years of experience il
congress, and served Washington
more faithfully than any predecessor
or successor as delegate.
