AN APPALLING RECORD.

Those who have considered the
afflictlons Of the men who have
been connected with the executive
department of this government
within the past few years must
come to the conclusion that the
most exalted positions In political
life are not bercft Of sadness. Gen
eral Garfield was assassinated by q
political crank. Judge Folger, one
OF the ablest secretaries of the treas.
ury, was taken away while laboring
under the burden of his official
duties. President Arthur lived but
short time after he left the cxecu-
tive chair. Secretary Manning died
from ovcrwork. Secretary Blaine,
within the past two months has been
called to mourn the loss of n brother,
IA slster.i n-law, n son and n daugh-
ter. General Tracy, secretary of the
navy, narrowly escaped from losing
his life, and as soon as he was re-
stored TO consciousness, was told of
the death of his wife and daughter.
These are instances which will
cause men Of prominence and their
families to reflect seriously whether
the private home, located in a
favorable climate, is not preferable
TO life In the city of Washington
with political honors.

THE BOURBON6.

The audacious return Of the
youthful Duke of Orleans, Bourbon
pretendcr to the throne Of France,
Is something more than boyish
prank. II was an impulsive coup,
based upon the delusion so often
entertained by banished and exiled
princes, that they have but to show
themselves to the people to rekindle
the dying flame of royalty, and re-
animate the affections that the peo-
pie once cherished for the throne.
France has had her fill of the
Bourbons. Her people are i'm
pulslve and emotional, none more
so, but they are not apt to restore a
dynasty whose history Is stained
with blood and fraught with untold
cruelties, atrocities and extrav-
agances.
Henry W., the young dukes an
cestor whose illustrlous service in
the ranks Of the French army he
cites as the example he should like
TO follow, was the founder of the
house of Bourbon. The monarchy
that grew no powerful under his
reign and those Of his more imme-
diate successors was more absolute
and unconstitutional even than that
now found In Russia. The court
was the government Of France, sub
ject only to the control Of men of the
stamp OF Cardinal Richelieu.
How Infamous this dynasty be-
came 10 the people OF France we need
not here reclte. It's very name has
become suggestion OF all that Is
opposed TO progress and enligh;en-
nent. II stands for the Bastile and
for a countless array Of atrocities
that finally called forth the awful
revolution Of 1900, just n century ago.

fortunate In the selection of the
date OF his Coup The centenary

orPosEp To DIVISION.

Rockford Enterprise: If the enemies
of the division OF Spokane and Whitman
counties for the formation OF new coun-
wish to prevent the contamination
OF that scheme. 1t is about time they
began rustling. Word reaches us that
the friends OF the measure are working
tooth and toe.nnil to accomplish their
design. Let our people petition the
legislature Our wishes on this important
question. We want no division at
the present time. Four Of the
house committee to which this bill
was reported will submit an adverse re-
port thereon, the remaining three viii
submit minority report In its favor.
Are our citizens going to stand illy by
with fOllei arms and witness this fair
county OF ours rent In twain, merely to
satisfy the greedy and ambitious desires
of u few sore headed and disappointed
third.rdte politicians. We believe our
people know n good thing when they see
It, and We further believe they have as
yet failed to see In what way, shape or
form good may result in the bringing TO
successful termination this division
plot.

Once the Nicaragua aud Panama
canals are opened TO commerce, the
advantage Of low rates Will be aug
mented by quickne0s OF delivery
Then the railroads will Inc unable to
haul freight across the continent
for tho rates that will bc established
by the steamer lines.
When that dny arrives, and sad
vent Is inevitable, they will turn to
Spokane Falls and other interior
cities for their salvation. Their very
existence will depend upon the pro-
lection that Is afforded by our inte-
rior position. This city will become
their true terminus, because they can
haul freight here at profitable rates,
and from this city their branch lines
can deliver goods to every important
town In Washington, Idaho or
Oregon. Itmattors not how cheaply
the steamer and clipper lines may
carry freight to the seaports, the
railroad lines, by establishing high
local rates to the interior towns and
cities, will be able to close the doors
against all freight that comes by
water. For instance, we will grant
that certain line of goods can be
laid down In Portland or the Sound
cities, by water, for so cents per
hundred. The railroads can make
local rate on those goods Of say
81, and by establishing an overland
rate Of sl.25 from New York to
Spokane, could erect a barrier Of 25
cents that would be ample protec-
ton both for themselves and Spo-
kone Falls.
Herein lies their only means of
protection, and realizing this i'm
portant fact, they will exert every
influence within their power In the
direction of building up this city.
Their future interests are sure to
blend with the welfare of this city.
That Is why all the transcontinen-
tai lines not already here are head
ing In this direction. They have
studied out the future. They realize
that Spokane Fails must be made
the great supply point of this vast
region. She has the prestige, the
resources, the water power, and
above all she sits In position to do
the trade of an empire, and at the
same time afford ample protection
to every railroad that enters her ter
ritory.
In the light of these incontroverti-
BILE facts, who can doubt the destiny
Of this vigorous young city?

com Portable apartments In the con

the Princess Marguerite, aunt and
cousin, and other friends have been per
mitted to visit him. Tho minister of

ist members Of tho chamber Of deputies
have decided to.interpcllato tho govern

the duke. The cabinet to-day decided
TO strictly enforce tho provision OF the
expulsion law against the duke.
The duke was taken before the tri-
bunal Of the Seine to-day and charged
with hngrnnt violation of the law,
banishing from France the pre,ondcrs to
tho III rome. The duke said he came tu
France to perform military duties. Iic
asked for an adjournment to allow him
to instruct his counsel. Tho court adj.
iournod the hearing till next Wcdncs-
day.
At tho conclusion of the judicial in.
quIry Constance will reply to the mon
archst Interpolation In the chamber of

mcnt merely executed the law, the
provisions Of which are precise. Iic will
explain to the chamber article AZ OF
the law of exile enacted, that no men-
Der Of the Orleans family shall enter
the army. The law docs not state the
grade from which they arc dcbarred.
and the cabinet will therefore not admit
the argument of the duke that
he could join the army as q private.

the immigration from Germany,
from Scandinavian countries, and
from Ireland, England and Scot

immigration has largely increased
from Austria, Hungary, Russia,

THE DIVISION MOVEMENT.

P-vate kilograms from Olympia
ir -iicate that there Is q probability
Of the passage Of the bill creating
Steptoe county. At all events the
danger is sufficient TO call for the
exercise of an active opposition from
those who are opposed to this un-
timely movement.
The people Of this county are rest
Ing in false security The advocates
Of the proposed new county have
been actively at work for weeks.
They have held public meetings,
have collected money, and have dis
patched men with petitions In all
directions. AS result Of their vig-
orous efforts thcy have laid before
the legislature roll Of more than
|, 800 names, 700 Of whom are de-
clared TO reside within that portion
Of spokane county which the bill
would include In the new county.
The most effective opposition that
could be arrnyed against this move
ment would be the circulation with
III tlllb fiAihoty " aNA"coNohs~c
against the creation Of new county
and the consequent increase Of
taxes. Protests from Spokane Falls
or other outside points are Of second
ary importance. II q proper can
vass were made Of these two tiers Of
townships, we are confident that an
array of names could be obtained
that would convince tho Legislature
that the people residing therein are

clamor OH the part Of u few politi-
clans and townsitc boomers.

This would indicate that the gov
ernments of Germany, Sweden and
Norway, and Great Britain, becom-
ing alarmed at the increasing drain
upon their population, had made a
more careful study of the woes OF
the people, and had enacted meas
urcs tending toward the ameliora-
ton Of their condition. Such, in
fact, has been the case. AS the area
of the public domain decreases, and
the United States offers less induce
ments to the farming classes of
Europe, we shall see steady de
crease in that direction. At the
same time the drift to the Ameri-
can cities will become stronger,
thereby enlarging the turbulent,
discontented classes now there, and
presenting problem whose solution
may entail much trouble, assertion
Of power and display of force. Per-
haps 1t would be well to throw ad-
ditional barriers across our gates.
