NpT NFrI;ECIATED,

1t : imma,cr.aI what may be the
business, Yet man desires that his
efforts be appreciated.
When We assumed the manage
ment Of the AE5J-. it was our wish
to give to the ciuleBs OF Port Town
send paper, such as We supposed
that they desired and would support
apaper that not only published the
local news, but also the happenings
of the world-in short, a metropoli-
tan journal In order to dc this we
were put to a great expense IN secur
ing the Associated Press report,
which also ncceasitated an increase
in the working force of the Office
Notwithstanding our efforts; not
WithstaHdiug the great expense
which We have gone to, in thus en-
deavoring to please the public, We
find that all our undertaking has not
been appreciated No one is called
upon to labor for the benefit of the
public, gratis, which is what we have
been doing for the past few months
as the income Of our business has not
been commensurate with our effort.
and the outlay Of capital.
Therefore. III view OF all these facts
We have determined to discontinue
the publication of the Associated
Press report from and after May
9th. We regret very much to b,
compelled to take this step, yet il
justice to ourselves must do SO. L
the citizens of Port Townsend desire
a continuation of the press report
they must give us proper support
We cannot be expected to labor fol
the citizens of this place, for the vel
fare of Port Townsend, without
proper recognition of our efforts
which so far have not been appreci,
ated.

NO ISMS.

Some of the papers of the territory
are in favor of submitting to the peo-
pie, in an independent section or ar
ticle, the question of the adoption Of
female suffrage. We, for one, are
opposed to the constitutional conven-
ton wasting time in considering the
form of the article or section which
should be submitted to the people
upon the woman suffrage question
we are opposed to the time Of the
CONVEX ton being taken up in consid.
ering isms Of any kind. There are
questions of such paramount i'm,
portance that it will be almost Grim
inal for the delegates to stop theiI
work to discuss the wishes of a few
old Miss Nancys.'
The true women of the territory
we feel certain do not wish to partici.
pate in the rights of the elective
franchise, they rather prefer to be
recognized as good wives and faith
full mothers, than strong-minded wc,
men, women who will neglect theil
household duties, who will permit
their children 10 run the street
ragged and dirty-faced. A woman.
place is at her fireside.
Our timber, our minerals, and the
riparian rights question are the ones
that should be looked after and moi
prohibition and the woman's suffrage
question. These questions have
been held under the nose Of the peo.
pie SO long that they have become
nausested. The tampering with
these questions will have tendency
to retard the growth and prosperity
of the state.
The delegates were not elected tC
the constitutional convention for the
purpose of listening to the bshestl
and complaints of a handful oi
cranks. And we trust that the dele
gates will be such men as will not bt
influenced by the mouthing Of a few
women suffrage cranks.

right a man has to vote q tax upon
our property who does not own q
foot of land or who does not do busi-
ness in the community in which he
lives. He has naught at stake and
shonld not be permitted to dictate
what the man who owns property
should do. These are questions far
more paramount to woman's suffrage,
prohibition and such like isms. The
water front question is a very i'm
portant one, and one which we trust
will not be overlooked in making q
selection of delegates to the censtitu.
tional convention. The lumber in
terest is one which should also receive
the unlimited attention OF the gentle
men who may be elected to represent
this district. Men only who are
sound and qualified upon these ques-
tions should be elected and We trust
that the Republican convention will
soc to it that such men are nominated
IN their convention.

THE CONVENTION.

Yesterday in convention assem-
bled the delegates Of San Juan, Clal-
lam and Jefferson counties made
their selection of men TO represent
the people in the constitutional CON
vention. In George II. Jones we
have representative of the younger
element OF Republicans in Jefferson
county, a man whose ability and
whose knowledge OF the peoples
wants OF this county should enable
him to watch and work for the inter
ests of the people and the party lie
represents. Mr.. Jones is young IL
years but his store Of knowledge will
make up for any misfortune there
may be in the fact of his having been
born after some of the others who
were willing to serve the people.
We have said that the delegates
should be from the legal and COM
mercial walks Of life, and though Mr..
Weir may not be a representative
business man, his many years resi-
dence here, and his staunch Repub-
lican ideas and his faithfulness TO
the party make him an acceptable
man. That the ticket will be elected
we have every reason to believe, but
because the ticket is sure winner
is no reason why it should not be
worked for; it behooves every Re
publican to vote and have his neigh
Dor vote. We must have two Repub-
lican1 elected, and they must be
voted for. If the people do not come
to the front on Tuesday next the
ticket will be defeated. The Repub-
licaa party has shown their hand
The Democrats will now nominate
the strongest men in the district
belonging to their party. Strong
work must then be done by the
friends of those men nominated yes
terday; and it must be remembered
that every land owner, every bust
ness man, every resident is interested
in the forming of the constitution.
1t must be SO framed that the people
will accept it; there must be nc
drawbacks of any kind, and it must
be one in which the principles of the
Republican party will be strongly
set forth. Work then, Republicans,
and with vim. After the glorious
victory Of last November we can i'll
afford to have defeat follow SO
closely.

OUR DISTRICT CoNvENTIO"

On Thursday the District conven-
ton, which is to elect delegates to
the Constitutional convention. will
meet. 1t seems hardly necessary for
us to speak of the Importance of this
convention, yet we feel that We are
not performing our duty, unless we
say few words of caution We
might by way of preface say, that we
have no favorite candidates for the
nomination; all that we desire, is to
see the best men of the party nomin-
ated: men who can receive the united
support of the people, and men in
whom the public have confidence.
The district convention has duty
to perform, which if not we'll dCne,
cannot be rectifed. Therefore, it be-
hOOyes the convention to act with
much consideration and deliberation
upon the names which Will be pre-
presented for its consideration. Re
member that you gentlemen, who
compose the convention, are not sell
ected for the purpose Of nom
mating men, solely because they
wish to go to the constitutional con
vention, but to select men who have
the ability to look after our interests,
and who will assist intelligently in
the formation of the constitution.
We trust that the convention will
not nominate men who have some po-
itical scheme to carry out; who de-
sire the nomination for the purpose
only of hattering their inordinate
ambition Men who have only their
own interest at heart should be coolly
set aside. The convention, we trust,
will carefully and we'll perform the
important duty that they have in

basco the son Of DIR. J. b. Probasco had q
narrow escape from death at the depot Of the
Central Railroad Of New Jersey in this city
last Saturday afternoon. The young man
was crossing the network Of tracks in front

engine was being used 70 dispose Of freight
train on the west bound track He only saw
that train, and did not notice a Philadelphia
express coming rapidly toward him. The
freight train was making such an uproar that
the swiftly moving express could not b.
heard. The engineer Of the latter was, how
ever, oa the alert, and when he saw the
young man he pulled wide open the whistle
valve Young Probasco seemed dazed, and
stood immovable on the track for several sec.
onds. Then he gave one long leap, and fell
fainting into the arms Of friend as the
steam giant tore along six feet from him.
