DEATH OF GEN. FREMONT.

The death of General John Charles Free
mont, which occurred yesterday at Wash
ington City, removes one of the pictur-
esque figures of American history. For
fifty years Fremont has been conspicuous
and notable man. Just why this has
been SO it is difficult to say. He was neither
great soldier nor great statesman, and
yet his fame has borne close relati onship
10 both these characters. Fremont first came
marriage. This was followed by sensa-
tional military adventures on the Pacific
coast which gained for him title to which
he never had just claim, namely, that of
THE Pathfinder" As q matter of fact
Fremont never found path which, pre-
the weary feet of preceding American i'm
migrants. He made several really hazard
Gus and notable trips through the Western
wilds, but he never passed over a road not
previously cut into ruts by the wagons of the
settlers, and be really added nothing to the
substantial knowledge of the country. 1t
is claimed for Fremont that he saved Cali
fornia to the American Union, but this
claim is denied by those who have the best
right to speak with authority.
Fremonts greatest service to his country
was through mis- early and enthusiastic
espousal of the principles of the Republican
party. In the earliest days of the
party, before it had become an
effective political force, and when
it had no hope OF success, he was its can
didate for the presidency and the curious,
romantic and fascinating quality of the
man attracted large support from the
youth of the country. The best part of
Fremont's fame will rest upon this Incl
dent, although in fact, he never was in any
just sense leader of the party or an
effective advocate of its principles.
OF late years Fremont has been under a
cloud from the fact OF his having had an
unfortunate relationship to famous finan-
cial scandal in Paris. His friends have
always claimed that what seemed posi-.
tive guilt on his part was in reality only
q mistake, and that it was due to his igno-
rance of business. This explanation has
been accepted by the American people and
there was general satisfaction two years
ago when Congress NJ ade provision for his
old age by restoring him to a position on
the retired list of the army.

where he has concluded certain business ar
yangements whereby the people Of Spokane can
desl directly with English bankers ard save the
commission heretofore demanded by the mid
dlemen OF New York During q chat in the ro-
tunda last evening, Mr.. Richards was asked
why the early citizens of his city gave the place
such a romantic name as Spokane. THAT
credit" he said is due to the Indians Of WASH
ineton, who named the region where Spokane
is now located years and years ago. When the
fi.,t members of the old Hudson Bay Company
came into Washington they were dependent
upon the Indians for q deal OF information
about tho surrounding country. At one of the
camps near Puget sound q number of hunters
and Indians were talking one day, when the
hunters asked who lived to the North. The
Indians replied by giving the name of the alb
origiues who roamed about that country.
'.Who lives to the east" asked the white men.
"Tbe Spokanes," was the reply, the word sig
nifyiug those who do not speak our ton ue
From that time onward our country was
known as the land occupied by those who did
not speak the Indian language, and the first
settlement made there was called Spokane"

traders were so decidedly bullish that they
easily absorbed the offerings, and held the
market steady. Some little time after the
opening Hutch. bid the market up rapidly
and the room traders heartily sympathizinl
with him. but little wheat changed hand,
until :O4 was reached. From that time or
the record was a sad one for our lOca
trade. and between looking for buyers one
moment and sellers next, they suffered
badly. We dwell upon what occurred tC
the local traders. because they did most O
the business. We think the market is gOing
10 offer excellent opportunities 10 scall
from now on, but do not look for brOaC
bull market that one can safely buy wheat

In the meantime our advice TO our tricnd'

news, and when things shape themselves
not be slow in taking hold.
