The late session Of the Evangelical Alliance
marked a distinct forward step in the direction
Of improving the condition Of the masses in
towns. The question was not whether they
could be elevated morally and thus be bestered
in other ways. but how they could be elevated,
and il was debated ably by such clergymen as
Bishop Huntington and such political econo-
mists as Prof Ely

The ire of O number of individuals
has been aroused through the publi-
cation of an item of railway news
published in yesterdays ARGUS and
the question suggests itself, Do the
people know just what they want?
A few days ago we published some
remarks by Charles Francis Adams,
and we were at once accused of pub
fishing unreliable news, and of a
character that would injure the
prospects of the city. This time we
go TO the fountain head for our in
formation, publish the conversation,
and are condemned for our pains.
Because Judge Kuhn said 1--WE have
done all we can" is no indication
that the result would be discourag-
ing, not at all. The parties who are
to build the road ask certain bonus
and the citizens Of Port Townsend
and the owners OF property along the
proposed line have raiseI it. Judge
Whitman of Walla Walla came here
with Governor Moore, not IN the iu-
terest of the railway builders as our
g. C. would have it, but to look
around for an investment. After
the railway men met he bought
property. We ask any sensible per
son il this looks discouraging- II
the report of the governor had not
been satisfactory, Judge Whitman
would not have invested a dollar
He and Governor Moore are warm
personal friends. Another man who
paid $4,000 for a lot here was told
by Charles Francis Adams sit was a
large price to pay but certainly q
wise Investment" Let the people
who find fault with us ask them
selves now if they are right iii abus-
ing US for publishing Judge kuhn's
remarks.

That Port Townsend will be the
terminus of some great transconti-
mental railway there is not the shad-
ow of a doubt, and before very long,
too. 1t is believed by men who stand
just on the outer edge of the circle
which encloses all the men who know
just what is being done that the first
twenty miles of the road will he COM
pleted before January 1st. To the
dissatisfied ones we would caution
patience; remember that the arrange
ments for the building of railway
or the transferring of subsidies can
not be completed in a day. There
are details Of which outsiders know
nothing and instead OF condemning
the men who are engineering the
thing you should help them; you are
then helping yourselves. 1t must
ne remembered that those who do
most fpr themselves have the largest
shGFe i'll the end. The Union Pacific
road eaunot afford to go without IL
terminus at sea port and there is no
place which presents such advantages
as the Key City. We understand
that one or two real estate deals have
been postponed pending the result of
the meeting on Wednesday. We do
not believe there is any question as
to the result of the meeting and
real estate man agreeing to sell prop
erty after the result is made public
for the same price that is asked To-
day shows poor business qualifica
tons. Real estate in Port Townsend
should be worth fifty per cent. more
on Saturday than it was August 1st.

Cleary Wins Again.

Sometime Wednesday night Tom
Cleary and Tom Ward had misunder-
standing over matter of private ma
ture, and they resolved to settle which
WIS the better man by an assault at
arms. 1t was agreed that they would
seek the shelter afforded by barn in
the country, and there see which could
stand the most punishment. Time
keeper and referee were selected at the
ringside, and Marquis of Queensbury
rules were to govern. The men were
accompanied by half dozen friends,
leaving here in Il boat mt one O'Clock
At two the men entered the ring, Cleary
showing much better than Ward, and il
was evident to everyone present that
Ward was Overmatchei. The few fouls
struck were overlooked, none OF them
being OF a serious nature In the fourth
round Ward claimed that he had in
jured his left hand, and refused TO fight
any longer. By those present it was
conceded that Cleary had much the best
of the fight. The party returned TO the
city about five thirty, Cleary walking
down Water street as cody as if he had
just left the diuner table.

The Democratic mind in Delaware
is seriously exercised at the specta
ele presented by great and good
man like Thomas +. Bayard, without
an Office. Casting about for his re-
lief these anxious partisans have de-
termined, if possible, to bring him
out for governor next year. This is
a scheme which should be heartily
encouraged, The duties of the gov
ernorship of Delaware would fit Mr..
Bayard's capacity admi ably, and
would keep him from becoming pc
litically lonesome and correspond
ingly gloomy in his old age.

Our arid lands, it properly irri-
gated, would support 100,0OO,0O0
people. Mr.. Richard Hinton, the
expert, estimates that it would cost
900, 100000 to reclaim all this ari
area England has expended $780,,
OOO,G0O in irrigating the arid lands
OF East India, and the Investment
has brought profitable returns. The
estimate is that it costs an average of
SIG per acre to Introduce artificial
irrigation, which is less than the cost
of clearing land.

OUR DESTINY.

In his address to the Massachu-
sets club, Senator Hoar, referring
to his recent visit to Puget Sound,
said it is difficult to Imagine what is
to be the destiny of that wonderful
region, unsurpassed on this earth
for the fertility of its soil, with a
salubrious climate, "where it seems
impossible that human life should
come to an end if the ordinary laws
OF health are observed, a stimulating
atmosphere, where brain and body
are at their best, the wonderful or
namsnt of snow-clad mountain, lofty
cataracts and forests which had OBJ
tanned their huge size when the ce-
dars OF Lebanon were as a seed-all
these things are part of America,
are ours, are mine, are yours. There
our brethren and children and k1ns-
men have carried the principles of
New England, which are prevailing,
and which dominate from South ern
California to the British line, and
there, on the shores of that Pacific
sea, they are to repeat on a larger
scale, with grander results, the won
derfal drama which We and our
fathers lave enacted here There
are TO be the streets of a wealthier
New York, and the homes of more
cultured Boston, and the halls of a
more learned Harvard, and the work
shops of a buster Worcester. All
this your eyes and mine may not see
in it's full fruit tion and perfection,
but the eyes of our children who are
already born viii see it,
The views of such man as Sena-
toa Hoar, one of the most intelligent
7me6 tAe country, a man who un-
derstsnis af1fhe sources of material
and social greatness as few men do,
Nre not to be judged by the eloquence
Of their expression, but should be
taken rather in their liberal sense
Senator Hoar was here at an oppor-
tune time, when the atmosphere was
transparent as well as stimulating.
It was his errand to make thor
