BETHANY, w. VA, June l9.--lt has been
an eventful week in the usually quiet ana
picturesque Bethany. For the past SIX
days the little college world here has been
all aglow, and events of stirring ana IN
teresting nature have crowded IN upon each
other in rapid but agreeable succession
II has been another grand old Commence
ment week for Bethany College. and from
early morn until dewey eve and far into the
night pleasing sights have caught the gaze,
and strange and discordant sounds have
rent the air. Free and unrestrained has
been the college enthusiasm. and IN more
respects tnan one it has been memorable
Commencement
The series of exercises were inaugurated
last Sunday morning at ten O'Clock wlth
the baccalaureate sermon, by the President
of the college. Archibald McClain. II was
a most admirable discourse, the subject be-
ing "One Sowing and the Other Reaping."
The thought of the sermon was that no
men had lived 10 reap the reward OF their
labors. and along this line, dwelt at some
length upon our debt TO the past and our
duty to the future. Special music
was rendered on this occasion
by quartette and an 0ctette, ana the vO-
cal programme was further enlivcned by
pleasing solos by Miss Lizzie Scott, of Ca
diz. o. In the evening there were ordina-
ton services. in which five young men were
ordained TO the ministry, the sermon being
delivered by Rev. j. NJ. Tribe, the subject
being Christ Called 10 the Ministry.
The meetings were held in the church and
the sanctuary was completely nlled win
people at both the morning and evening
services. In the evening Mr.. Tribe was
assisted by Mr. n. McCloud, of Newark,
Della. Mr.. G.. L. Wharton, of India, and y.
NJ. Atkinson. of Wabash, Ind.

The Republicans have definite notice
that they must again meet party contest
in the election to be held under the new
city charter. The Democratic party organ,
speaking for the party managers, insists
upon regarding the election of last Monday
as mere preliminary skirmish, leading up
to the main fight, next month, when we
shall come to the election of city officers
for term of two years. There is settled
determination to carry this city by hook or
by crook as an introduction to the state
campaign this fall.
And now it behooves the Republicans to
be up and dong. and to meet this effort If
not in its own spirit, in a spirit equally
positive and determined. The first and the
main thing to be accomplished is thorough
party organization. 1t must be compre-
hensive in its general plan, and its details
must include not only each ward, but each
voting precinct. 1t is not too soon to be-
gin. There is time enough, but there is no
time to waste.
1t is not only imperative in party and
material sense that Seattle should be re-
tanned as Repcblicon city, but it is i'm
portant in its relation to the politics of the
state. This fact is thoroughly understood
by the Democrats, and it is the chief mo-
tive of their persistent effort. The city is
Republican by large majority, and all
that is needed is organization and disci-
pine. Therefore organize.

AN IMPORTANT PUBLICATIONS.

The Seattle EUening Press gave to the pub
lie last night very exhaustive and excel
lent report of winter journey made in
the Olympic Peninsula by a party of ex.
plorers sent out last fall under its auspices.
The report, which is thorough and in care
full detail, with some scores of illustrations,
covers sixteen pages. This is by odds the
fullest and most systematic statement
concerning the Olympic Peninsula yet
published, and the Press is fairly entitled to
public commentator for its liberality and
enterprise. Like the reports recently made
by Governor Gilman and son, by Mr.. Nor
man r. Smith, Mr.. Norman r. Kelly and
others, the statement made by the Press
explorers shows the peninsula to be region
of lofty and rugged mountains. intersected
here and there by sparkling water
courses and valleys rich in soil and beauti-
full in every aspect 1t is a country very
much broken, to be sure, but full of re-
sources and susceptible of habitation and
of profitable development. 1t is a certain
thing that this region will in time become
the seat of large population, and OF a
widely dlverslheG and highly profitable in
dustry. The movement toward the settle
ment of the peninsula already begun will
be largely assisted 4. and acceler-
ated by the very comprehensive
and definite information given by
the Press. The explorers have given
to the many notable features of the land
scape, mountains. rivers, lakes, etc., names
in compliment chiefly to the noted journal
lists of the United States, and while it is
not likely that this nomenclature will be
permanent, 1t will be the means of at
tracing the personal attention and in
terest of a body of men who can
and will no doubt do much toward adver-
Using the new country. In the end, and
properly, too, the mount ains and rivers
will no doubt take on names of local charac-
ter and color

We have it from the best authority that
the census returns from Western Wash
ington will make no account of the manu-
features and other material interests of the
country. In the anxiety of Superintendent
Porter for social statistics and for other de-
tails not essential either for the purposes
of the census and of no practical good to
the country, more important things have
been wholly neglected. This effort in be-
half of non-essentiais has, like much else
in this ill-considered and overloaded GEN.
sus scheme been broad farce. For ex-
ample, it is worthy OF note that the White
chapel districts in Seattle, as returned By the
enumeration, shows the neighborhood to be
pure, virtuous. sweet and wholesome,
there being not single case of chronic all
ment of any sort in the whole district.

WE ARE WHOLLY DEFENsELEss.

OF course all well-informed people on
both sides understand that neither the
British nor the American government has
any inclination to 60 to war with the other
on the Behring sea or any other pretext.
Between two such powers war would be q
terrible thing to contemplate; so much so
that to think of it in connection with any
issues involved in this controversy would
be sheer madness. Besides, it is well
understood that these issues are in fair
way for settlement, with ordial dispo-
sition on both sides to maintai this con-
dition.
But, nevertheless, the fact stares us in
the face that the neighboring seas are filled
with armed vessels. and history abounds
in instances of deadly and devastating con-
fiicts precipitated between previously
friendly powers by the reckless impru-
dence OF hot-blooded representatives of the
one side and the other. Therefore, while
a conflict Is not desired on either side, nor
contemplated. nor probable, the situation
makes it possible. 1t is with possibilities,
quite as much or more than mere probable
tiles, that wise men and wisely ruled ma
tons deal.
A conflict being possible, what is our
condition? 1t is well enough to admit
that the feet which the English govern
ment has concentrated in these waters is
sufficient to lay this entire Northwest coast
under tribute. Against those seven ves-
sells. armed and equipped as they are, we
are absolutely defenseless. 1t need not be
claimed that they could conquer the United
States or permanently hold any portion of
our territory. but for the time being we
would be completely at their mercy, and
they could lombard and lay waste every
city of Puget Sound and the Pacific coast.
Nothing of the kind is probable, but this
and more might be. 1t is just such might
be's" that wise and provident govern
ment should guard against. 1t is just such
possibilities that make an increase of our
naval force, and above all an ample
strengthening of our coast defenses an
imperative and an immediate necessity.
The people of this coast have a right to de-
mand OF their government, the richest and
most powerful on earth, that they be no
longer left in their present unprotected and
helpless condition, liable at any moment to
have the grand results of their enterprise
swept from the face of the earth by a little
squadron which even Chill or any third
rate European power could laugh to scorn.
We have right to demand that prompt
and energetic measures be set afoot for our
protection without unnecessary loss of
time, even of month or day, and it is
confidently believed that Pacific coast Sem
ators and Representatives will at once urge
this demand with one voice and in man.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR SURVEYS.

A very important change for the inter-
ests of this state was made by the Senate
yesterday in the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill. As this measure passed the
House last week it provided a total of $780,
900 for the surveys of public lands. The
change made yesterday by the Senate in
creases this amount to 100000. II is
known unofficially that Washington will
get about one-third of the total appro-
priation, and it is therefore a ques-
ton of whether We shall have
5000 or s2o0, 900 for surveys IN this state
during the coming year. The matter is
one of immense importance. The neces-
sity for surveys of public lands is most
urgent. There is a county in this state
with a complete county government,
and containing upwards of 600
voters, in which but single town.
ship has been surveyed. And in
many other counties the situation is nearly
as bad. Settlers are put to no end of incon-
venience and hardship through the want of
surveys, and in very many instances have
left the country from sheer disgust because
they were unable to find definite settlement
upon inviting public lands. Nor is this
all. The stale is injured by the failure of
the government to definitely locate the
lands which have been granted for school
and other purposes.
Surveyor General Cavanaugh has been
laudibly persistent in his endeavors to stir
up the powers that be respecting this inn
portant matter. In season and out of
season he has poured into the interior de-
partment urgent appeals that steps be
taken to relieve the situation here. The
increase proposed by the Senate is unques-
tionably a consequence of his persistent
effort.
