CoNrEmprrBLE JEALOUSY.

It would naturally be supposed that
everybody in this country would hail with
qualification any notable development of
our larger resources. Such development
means increase of prosperity for every To-
cality and for every interest, and nobody
with any breadth of mind could have any
other view of it. But among q certain few
at Tacoma-happiiy, very few-there is
jealousy of Seattle so absurd and vindictive
that no advancement here, no matter how
important for the country at large. can be
viewed without unreasoning and malicious
resentment. This unhappy spirit is mani
Tested from time to tlmein low filings on the
part of the Tacoma press toward the great
iron enterprise at Kirkland on Lake Wash
ington, near this city. For such spirit
there can be no comfort, and 1t deserves
no comfort. So far as the Kirkland enter
prise is concerned, we can only say-and
we speak from positive knowledge-that
those who are hurt by its prospects will be
worse hurt by the achievements which are
soon to come. And for those, and for all
whose jealousy prevents them from rejoic-
ing in the important work now under way
there will be no sympathy--only contempt

PREACHERS AND POLITICS.

The pending political contest in rkan-
sas has brought the clergy to the front to
an extent never before approached in any
other state of the Union, not even except
ing the good old times of blue laws and
Puritan rule in New England. In Arkan.
sas the two leading parties seem to have
wed with each other in the struggle for
clerical candidates. On the Democratic
state ticket are Rev. J. p Eagle, Rev. w.
s. Dunlop, Rev. r. b. Morrow, Rev. ~. e.
Atkinson, Rev. ]. 81. Shinn,. Rev. NJ. II.
Sandes and Rev. NJ. T. Locke, with only
two sinners-B. B. Chism and c. B. Myers
-sandwiched in for the sake OF piquancy.
The Union Labor ticket, endorsed by the
Republicans, contains the names of Rev.
n. B. Fizer, Rev. o. S. Jones, Rev. T. ].
Andrews, Rev. T. NJ. G. Birmingham, Rev.
c. NJ. B. Cox. Rev. G. B. Farmer and Rev.
w. r. Cody, seven ministers and, as in
the other case, two Of the irreverend-J. NJ.
Pittman and T. P. Chambers-for the sake
of variety.

influential religious organ OF that state and

That paper uses very strong language
In all seriousness" it declares, 1.-THE
churches of Arkansas are responsible for
the corruption in her politics. The
churches of Little Rock are responsible for
every house OF ill-fame, every saloon, and
every gambing-hell in the city," The
preachers and members of the churches. it

the opposition at the polls of those who
are engaged in them. And as a natural
and inevitable result of the immunity thu.
obtained these social cancers are multiplv.
ing frightfully.
Ii is not believed, however, that every
preacher who should become a candidate
for office would to the extent above re-
ported allow his moral sense and duty as
citizen to be so completely bluuted. But
beyond doubt their PARTICIPATION in active

ers for office. TO the extent that IL has been
carried in Arkansas or to any considerable
extent, must lessen the general respect for
their sacred calling and impair their influ.

oREGoN.s SHORT COUNT.

The palpably short count of Oregon's
population is not matter which concerns
that state alone. There is principle of
a question of sectional representation in
congress and in the electoral college which
concerns Washington and the whole
Northwest, and a matter of partisan poll.
tics which concerns the Republican party
throughout the Union.
foresight is better than hindsight." A
case in point is suggested. There is in CAL
ifornia a prominent Democrat who has
this faculty abnormally developed. He
figures every conceivable combination and
leaves nothing to chance. When the bill
for the admission OF Colorado was pending
he proceeded on this plan, and as result
telegraphed to friends in Washington that
admission involved a chance of Democratic
defeat in the ensuing presidential election.
But to no effect.
1t will be remembered that after count
ing for Hayes every vote that was or could
have been claimed for him, including three
from Colorado, he pulled through by a
bare majority of one. But for Colorado
Tilden would have been elected. What
happened in 1876 may happen in 1892.
The one additional vote to which Oregon is
fairly. honestly and unquestionably en-
titled on a true count of her population
might involve a loss of the presidency to
the Republican party.
Then apart from all consideration of
strict justice; apart from the addition
which it would give to Northwestern in
fiuence, Washington as a Republican state,
deeply concerned In the success of that
party in the great national contest, should
exert an active influence in favor of fair
dealing with Oregon. and that no avoidable
risk shall be run in the presidential con-
test

SENATOR SQUIRE AND THE ELEc-
TION BILL

A telegram sent from Washington yester-
day named Senator Squire as one OF the Re-
publican Senators who are expected to OPP
pose the federal election bill. This state
ment doubtless created no little surprise.
for opposition to measure so wise and
just would be glaring misrepresentation
Of the wishes of the people of Washington.
It therefore affords the PosT-lSTELLT-
cENcER pleasure to deny emphaticaily that
Senator Squire has any thought or inten-
ton of opposing the election bill. On the
contrary, he is among its warrnest sup
porters. and is fully in line with the great
mass of the Republican voters on this inn
portant issue.
II the other Republican Senators on
whom the Democrats rely to assist them
In defeating the bill feel on the subject as
Senator Squire feels. there need be no
further doubt that the measure will be-
come law.

Empress OF Austria Cigarette Fiend.

Empress Elizabeth of Austria, smokes from
thirty to forty Turkish and Russian cigarettes q
day and for many years it has been her invet-
crate custom to puff away after dinner at q
strong Italian cigar, one OF those with straw
running through It. and which is brought to her
with her cup OF Turkish coffee every evening
on gold salver. She says herself that smoking
soothes her nerves and that Whenever she feels
blue" a cigar or cigarette will do more than
anything else to cause her to see things il q
happier light She is perfect Greek aud Latin
scholar, and when writing she smokes almost
continually. On her writing table are always q

cigarettes, matchbox of carved Chinese Jade.

OF q iavorte hunter. which broke its spine over

A QUIET ELECTION.

The New York Sun is one of the leading
Democratic papers of the country. 1t is
bitter and determined in its opposition to
the federal election bill, which it denounces
at every opportunity. Not only does it re-
gard this measure as dangerous to the
peace of the country, but it processes to
look upon it as utterly unnecessary-as be-
ing altogether unjustifed by the state of
affairs prevailing at the South.
Occasionally, however, in a moment of
forgetfulness, the Sun admits the truth.
For instance, it published the news of the
recent election in Alabama under the sig
ni6cant headlines, 1.-THE negroes keep away
from the polls and the day passes quietly
And the report which follows is of such
nature as to induce the belief that. If the
negroes had not kept away from the polls.
Alabama would have been made very
tropical indeed for them.
So it is admitted, even by the most rabid
opponents of the federal election bill, that
free elections in the South are impossible.
1t is admitted that. though the congress
sional and electoral apportionmenti is based
on the total population. black as well
as white, only the whites are permitted to
vote. 1t is admitted that the dispropor-
tionate power of the South in congress is
maintained by persistent and determined
violation of the constitutional amend
ments.
This much is admitted, yet Democratic
hands are raised in horror when it is
limited that this is matter in which the
general government is concerned--when it
Is said that the people of Ohio, of Massa-
chusetts and of Washington have right to
insist that the men who make their laws
and choose their presidents be fairly chosen
at elections at which the requirements of
the constitution are complied with
Northern ballots have been pitted against
Southern shotguns long enough. The
people of the entire Union are directly in
terested in the election of every member of
congress and every presidential elector,
and it is the first duty of the general gov
eminent to see that such elections are
fairly held. 1t should not be forgotten
that the congressman chosen at these
"quiet" elections in Alabama and South
Carolina legislate for the people of Wash
ington just as directly as do the repre-
sentatives that they themselves choose. The
''quiet" Alabama congressional election at
which thousand or fifteen hundred votes
are polled is just as potent in shaping the
destinies OF the country as is Washington
election at which sixty thousand votes are
polled.
For the past fifteen years the people of
the South have struggled by force and
fraud to maintain an ascendancy in the
national government During those ff-
teen years the people of the North have
suffered monstrous wrong. 1t is high
time that that wrong were righted, and it
is the duty of the Republican party to
right it now.

rejoice over victory gained The occasion

cause to which they are consecrated.
Ii is believed that except in rare cases OF
special fitness and to meet an emergency,
ii were better that ministers should abstain
from running for political Offices, and in
the exceptional cases which demand their
candidacy it would be better that they at
least temporarily abstain from ministerial
duties. Rightfully or wrongfully. in public
estimation preaching and candidacy for
political Office do not seem to mix well.
