Considerable excitement was Gre
a'e. in luka on Wednesday about
p. m, by runner from tho gravel
pitt on the III, 4 c. railroad, stating
that an explosion had taken place
and injured several of the hands at
work there. A. q. Allison, the tun.
mel worker, was ut work and had
prepared blast in his tunnel with q
keg OF blasting powder, when the
premature explosion took place, He
was about sixteen feet under ground
at work preparing to make the
blast, when he used "a pick TO knock
off some gravel from bank. The
steel tool knocked spark of fire
from the gravel, which ignited the
powder blowing him some forty
feet from his tunnel and seriously If
not fatally burned. John Branson,
who was standing at the mouth of
the tunnel over keg OF powder,
is also seriously il not fatally burned.
Dave Mckinney, Fayett Davis and

per branch of the federal legislature and
with executive departments, which most
tenaciousIy adhere 10 this rule. Those
which habitually or frequently change
their Senators are VIGOROUSLY lacking IN
standing and influence. These are facts
which are familiar to all and cannot be
gainsaid. State pride should admonish
the members of Washington's legislature
to bear il in mind and give heed TO it.
Senator Squire is in an eminent degree
and in every respect thoroughly identified
with and representative of the state. He
has served a short term faithfully and
well. He is identified on the right side
with every pending measure which is an
issue in national politics. He is familiar
and influential with a majority of the
members of the Senate and with the chief
executive and the heads of all depart
ments. 1t would be folly to supercede
him. State pride, if no other considers
ton, should induce his immediate re-
election. The tidings Of such result would
have an inspiring effect at Washington,
and would give fresh courage to Repub-
licans all over the land

PEANUT POLITICS.

There are many wrecked politicians who
unwisely and uniustly attribute their
failure in that field to the lack of oppor-
tunity. They bewail their lot and insist
that they have been less successful than
others only from lack Of an equal chance.
But in ninety-nine such cases out of every
hundred it will doubtless appear that it
was not SO much q lack of opportunities
as the wasting of them; not SO much
lack Of chances as Of the capacity to per-
ceive and take advantage of them.
They have been too much taken I'D with
peanut politics, and too indifferent TO the
broad-gauge article; blind to the great
issues that were at stake, bat wide awake
and keenly alive TO petty personal con-
siderations, or TO sectional jealousies, or
20 factional differences. One should not
complain if he captures no whale by bait
ing for minnows, or that by trapping mice
he acquires no fame as mighty hunter.
One cannot gain. a knowledge of the
heavens by gazing through the small end
OF a telescope.
These reflections apply TO the condition.
that have been prevailing at Olympia for
some time back. By taking broad-gauge
views of politics several gentlemen have
enjoyed rare opportunity 70 win worthy
distinction and place themselves on the
highrosd 10 deserved prefermsnt and
careers Of honored usefulness. This is
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-01-20

particularly applicable to the members of
the legislature on the Republican side.
There were great state interests and party
issues appealing for intelligent and dis
passionate consideration at their hands; APP
pealing to them to arise above personalities,
paltry local considerations and all manner
of factionism, and to realize that their
highest duty is to their state as whole
and to their party as state organization.
What an electrifying effect, for instance,
and how wholesome in every way, and in
what an enviable position would it have
placed him in the estimation of all broad
minded Republicans throughout the state,
if some capable Republican from Pierce
county, recognizing the unquestionable
fitness of things, and the bearings on
national issues. and the effect in allaying
and completely wiping out senseless local
differences, had calamity claimed the
privilege of placing Senator Squire in nom-
nation before the joint convention.
1t is by such exhibitions Of mananimity
and breadth as this that men rise and
shine in politics. ANY small caliber ward
rounder can make fight" on petty local
or personal grounds, but on such fights
the public look with contempt, while they
instinctively and at once recognize the
bigness of one who can cut loose from
such considerations and look broadly at
the situation. The mere statement of the
case is enough to make it apparent to all
thinking men that more than one some
body has thrown away a grand oppor-
tunity to make himself the most con-
spicuous and popular Republican in the
state, by manfully converting a causeless
and senseless scramble into a veritable
love-feast.
1t is not yet too late for those at Olympia
who have souls above peanuts to CON-
meno themselves to the respect and
applause of the thoughtful MEM
bers of their party throughout the
state. Great issues between the Re-
publican and Democratic parties have
been formulated by the present congress.
When Mckinley, Cannon and other Re-
publicans of the House who were promi-
nently identified with those issues went
down yell of joy resounded all along the
Democratic line throughout the Union.
The same viii be true of every Republican
Senator who is identified with those issues
who shall be deserted by his party. From
broad national and party point of view
this transcends any personal consideration
involved in the present contest. To ignore
it is neither more nor less than peanut
politics. 1t is time for those who aspire to
be recognized as of the broad-gauge order
to comport themselves accordingly.

Parkinson True to His Constituents.
Whatcom Reyeille.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Fairhaven
Herald, in flaming headlines, announces "Park-
inson's Treachery," because, forsooth, the
colonel has concluded to ignore the little faction
disgruntled with Senator Squire on account OF
of the location of the SUPPORT OF entry at New
Whatcom, and, on the other hand, to listen to
the voice of his constituents which calls for the
return of Watson C. Squire to the Senate. To
act other than he has would have
been to stultify himself. He may (by
not running around with his heart on his
sleeve, and chattering Governor Squire's praises
like a magpie) have led the Fairhaven Land
Company to infer that he was for Judge Calkins;
but one thing is certain, that the Squire forces
have not conceded him to Calkins, and every
journal in the state has counted him as an I'M
known factor, pledged to neither candidate.
The senator has not hurt himself politically by
his fat-footed support OF Squire, and ne has
certainly, as far as can be ascertained, repre-
sented the sentiment of the majority OF his con-
stituents The Rerielle has not been wont to
lavish great amount of taffy on Mr.. Parkinson,
but thinks he is entitled to credit now for
praiseworthy exhibition of horse sense.

No Danger Of an Indian Outbreak.
j. NJ. Snow in Spokane Review.

The Indians of the Okanogan country who
were promised protection for their prisoner
found him and delivered him to the whites, who
straightway lynched him. Such an outrage
would be resented by white man. There is no
danger of general Indian outbreak, but the
lives Of few white men who have mistreated
the Indians are In danger. I have been an In.
dian fighter, and have bad dealings with them
for twenty years, and never failed to conquer
them without the service of a six-shooter, but
those who have tried force must use it to exter-
mination. You can get astride cayuse and 60
through the Indian countries without gun,
and If you put straight business propositions to
them honestly they will not kick. When you
can do away with horse thieves and white men
who will sell whisky to the Indians, you will
stop the Indian excitement in the state of Wash
ington.

The Mathematics Venom.
Olympia Capital.


The browning effort of the Tribune in disgrace
full journalism was displayed yesterday in its
TRADE of personal abuse against Senator Parkin-
son. Were it not for the fact that this paper
claims an existence in Olympia and the legisla-
tors are now guests of this city, the Capital
would not deem such degenerate journalism
worthy of notice The Capital has no desire to
enter into any discussion regarding Mr.. Park
inson's virtues or vices, but it does enter
vigorous protest against the slurs and abuse of
the gentleman's private character when the
only excuse for such an attack is
that, whereas he was once considered
doubtful quantity in making up lists
for the senatorial candidates, he now boldly an
nounces himself in favor of Senator Squire. Can
it be that the citizens of Olympia will continue
to patronize paper which is ready to cast all
the vile slurs and abuse against the private char
acter of any legislator who happens to evince
preference for the senatorial candidate that the
Echo is trying to earn the subsidy for defeating?
The public actions of every legislator are open
to the fair criticism of all, but to assal the pri-
vate character of a member who has done moth
ing to merit it. is despicable, and, il thought to
be upheld by the people OF this city, would work
untold injury to the expected and needed legis-
latiou In Olympia's behalf

The Helena, Mont, Journal has poet
at its editorial helm. On the 18th instant
he thus paid his respects to Governor
Toole; "When impartial history draws
aside the veil, and the secrets of Democ-
racy come stench-laden from their mouldy
beds, it will be discovered that the Bour-
bon Executive of Montana stands foremost
in the lustreless roster of chumps." And
again: ''He was guilty of the small-potato
tyranny that glorihes the forehead of a
chump, and which in times agone made men
wage wars over we'll buckets and smiles of
graceless Cyprians." But still brighter
gem of poesy is that in which the execu-
tive is charged with a desire to have his
gubernatorial reign 'go laundering down
the ages like the back-action slide of a
burro down Montana wood-hume." It
cannot now be said that the miserable COM
plication in that state has been wholly
fruitless of bright results.

THE SENATORIAL CAUCUS.

Senator Squire is now the unanimous
nominee of the caucus of the Republican
members Of the legislature, as well as of a
vast majority of the people of the state.
The news from Olympia is pleasing to
every good citizen. 1t has been evident
for several days that Squire was far in the
lead, but last nights meeting was the first
show of strength.
The attempt made by Tom Ewing and
Nelson Bennett to seize and destroy the
call for the caucus was disgraceful. TWAS
in keeping with the rowdy campaign that
they have conducted. If Mr. Ewing had
bet $3.50, 900 on Calkins he would have lost
every cent of it.
