the natural facilities for developing
this city and country, of the magnif-

the city, OF the agricultural advan-
tages OF Colville county and the un-
told wealth lying, as yet, buried
under the mountain sides.
But with all its natural resources"
the orator continued, the prosperity
and growth OF the community was prin-
cipally owing to the indomitable energy
and perseverance of the people OF Spo-
Kane. Theexposition proved that. The
wealth which 1t was known had been
created and developed here was now laid
at the feet of those who came from the
surrounding countrie and cities to feast
their eyes upon. The exposition was the
glorious proof of the community.

General Hastings, Successor.

NATIONAL Guardsmen in Pittsburg are talk
ing about the effect of Mr.. Pattison's
election upon their affairs and especially is
speculation rife as to General Hastings sue
cessor as Adjutant General of the N. G. o. P.
1t seems to be a tradition that the Governor
shall always appoint an Adjutant General, the
only salarled officer in the National Guard of
his own political faith. Consequently the
choice of candidates is narrowed down in this
case to Democratic officers solely, and the only
man talked about in Pittsburg as yet is
Lieutenant Colonel Frank /. Rutledge, of the
Eighteenth Regiment. Colonel Rutledge does
not know that he is in danger of being put for
ward to attract the Gubernatorial lightning,
and it is quite possible that when the news
reaches him he will strike tents, burn his
trains, and retreat from tho exposed position
by forced marches For, although Colonel Rut-
ledge has hair that would have captivated
Titan with its ripe tint, can drill regiment,
and fight it, too. with great skill and pluck, and
votes straight Democratic ticket as often as
election day comes around, he is one of the

mind at no distant date.

1 witnessed a strange and ludicrous scene
several afternoons since on one of the Eastside
streets. Some laborers, who were repairing a
portion of one of the sidewalks had deposited
pitcher of thickened water near tree, visit
ing it whenever their thirst became annoying
While they were busy over the job, hound
trotted along and spying the pitcher, at once
set out to investigate it. Inserting his sharp
muzzle into the interior, he discovered the de-
liciousness of the contents and began to lap
vigorously. OF course, the more he transferred
to his stomach, the lower he was obliged to
push his jaws in order to keep the refreshing
compound in range of his tongue.
Finally he exhausted the beverage and
started to extricate his head A difficulty
he had not reckoned on here presented
itself. His Uranium. somehow, was too

REASONS NOT FAR TO SEEK.

Analyses of the causes of the extensive
Republican backset through the country on
Tuesday will be as thick as blackberries
now. a great variety of opinions could
already be compiled, expressing the differ
ent ideas of this subject. But to the intelli-
gent and dispassionate observer of late
political events, the causes are too obvious
10 admit of doubt or even any wide range Of
conjecture.
There were marked autocratic tendencies
DISPLAYED by the party leaders, In the flush
OF temporary power, which the public by no
means fancied. The assumption of extraor-
dinary powers by Speaker Reed in Congress
was intended as a partisan aid; it undoubt-
edly proved partisan hurt. The insistence
on the Force bill. and the attempt thereby
10 revive sectional differences, were SIM
ilarly meant to make capital for the
party; and on both these scores there were
well grounded protests and remonstrances
from within the Republican party, but
these were unheeded,- the applause of
class of followers who would applaud any
party measure being mistakenly regarded
as public support. A similar mistake IN
the estimate OF the possibilities of temporary
power led President Harrison's admins
tration also into the old error of allowing
the civil service to be used Extensively as an
instrument for partisan and even factional
political purposes. The public saw differ
ence between the preaching of platform and
the practice of politicians Doubtless
certain degree OF ignorance and misconcep-
ton in different quarters about the tariff
also have contributed TO Tuesdays results,
particularly in the West; but there were
enough other causes, including besides those
named. extravagant expenses, to have pro-
duced these results independent of the mis-
reuresentations of the tariff. The general
experience resolves itself into two PROPOSE
lions. One is, the political party
which entrenches itself most firmly in
the favor and confidence of the public,
will generally be that one which puts the
public interests first, and does not seek to
Iegislate itself directly into permanent
power. The other is that political leaders,
sooner or later. make fatal mistake in try
ing TO establish autocratic rule within their
party. Voters NAV De heId together Dy
argument and reasonable concessions. They
cannot be driven, nor yet stampeded by a
show OF organized activity against them.
Reve-ses have their uses. Ii remains to
be seen how far the Republican leaders will
be able to benefit by the lessons OF Tuesday.
Whether they make things better or worse
Tor themselves will depend intimately on
their ability to profit 10y the Christening of

THOSE NoysENsECAL PREDICTIONS.


It is 10 be observed that by the testimony
of the most eminent Republican leaders and
the most autL oritative Republican organs,
the future of the Republican party is lost
amid the gloom of disaster. Mr. Blaine by
his declaration that: "As Pennsylvania
goes this year so will the nation go in 1892, -
has served notice on ali the Republican
leaders that it is useless for them to quarrel
over the barren honor of heading the Re-
publican party to disaster. According to
the stereotyped doctrine of the Republican
organs for weeks before the election Gov
ernor Pattison from his position at Harris
burg will throw boulders at the tariff which
Will smash it into little bits. In short the
esteemed Republican statesmen and organs
have by their declarations, 'oreordained the
Republican party to complete defeat in
1927
But we hope that our Republican friends
will not therefore entirely abandon the fight.
That would be the logical result OF their
assertions about the PENNSYLVANIA vote; but
the logic can be saved by the recognition
of the fact that their assertions were
intentional perversions of the truth in order
to save votes IN Pennsylvania. The Con-
cressional elections both East and West are
of a character to make the Republican
leaders take a sober view of the situation.
Tie Republican prediction of Republican
defeat in 1892, rests entirely on the fact that
PENNSYLVANIA has elected her own Governor
and asserted the right to maintain the
supremacy of our constitution In purely
State matters. We think that our Republi-
can friends, when they come to consider the
real bearings of the Pattison victory, will
discover that the case is not SO hopeless as
their own assertions makes it.
In fact, the present seems to be a very
eligible time for them to cheer up the faint
ing spirits of their followers, by ac-
knowledging that when they made those as
sertions they were indulging in very shall
low Misrepresentation In the hope of affect
ing votes by spreading false views OF the
situation.

PROSECUTING FRAUDS.

The charge is made bv Chairman Mapes,
of the Independent Republican Committee,
that there were fraudulent votes cast in
Philadelphia on Tuesday. If Mr.. Mapes
has evidence of this, every good citizen will
hope that in place of dropping the matter
because of Pattison's success anyhow, he
will push it to the EXTREMIST degree. There
is nothing more dangerous in the politics OF
our times than detraction from the absolute
honesty of the ballot, whether the offense
take the shape of bribery or of illegal vot-
ing. If it were known that those who en-
bark in this business run an imminent dam
ger of rigorous prosecution, we should hear
less of such cases.
But, too often, when election is over, in
terest in such matters lapses. If Mr.. Mapes
can support his assertions he will find the
present occasion good one to move with
effect against the evil of which he COM

QUEEN vICToRIAs CROWN.
No Emblem of Royalty in the World Can
Compare With 1t in Beauty.

No Emblem of Royalty in the World Can
Compare With 1t in Beauty.
From the New York Evening Telegram.l
Queen Victor1a's crown is the handsomest in
the world. 1t was made by the Queens order
in 1888 by Rundell and Bridge. and contains 1868
brilliants, 1878 rose diamonds 17 large dia-
monds. four large pear-shaped pearls. 273 round
pearls, four large rubies. one of which is of ex-
traordinary size, one large sapphire and 15
smaller ones and IL emeralds. The crown has
a crimson velvet cap. bordered with ermine,
and weighs 80 ounces pennyweights, troy
weight. Small wonder that the Queen seldom
wears it. 1t is the massive gold and silver SET
ting of the jewels that makes it SO heavy.
The design consists of four diamond Maltese
crosses above a band of pearls. and filled in
with four fieur-de-lis or Prince of Wales
plumes (both forms being identical in jewels).
From the four Maltese crosses issue imperial
arches made of oak leaves and acorns, the
leaves being in diamonds, the acorns in
pearls; the cups, however are diamonds In
the center of the Maltese cross that is front of
the crown is the famous ruby said to have been
given to Edward the Black Prince by Don Pc
dro King of CASTLE, after the battle of Najero,
near Vittoria, in 1867. Henry V. wore this ruby
in his helmet at the battle of Agincourt
