Proctor Knott, the great race horse,
Is dead. When tourist horse jockey
was once asked at Burlington, VT,
if he would not ike TO visit
Ethan Aliens monument, he replied:
with pleasure; l knowed that Vermont
raised fine horses, but didn'tsuppose she
ever erected monuments TO them; never
saw Ethan Allen, but l seen lots of his
colts trot." Is the day far distant when
the American tourist viii confuse the
memory of Proctor Knott, who idealized
Duluth. or satirized it by his eloquence,
with that of Proctor Knott. the runner,
who has been ridden ont of our mortal
sight by King Death. doubtless to add him
to his corral of ''pale horses?" Kentucky
may not, however, think Proctor Knott, the
man, worthy of a monument, and she may
be ashamed to expose her real feelings to
the world by erecting monument to
Proctor Knott, the runner, as the super
Tor animal, 'the better horse" But If
Proctor Knott, the man, ever gets mon
ument, 1t is a safe bet that the bulk of the
Democratic party in the country will be-
lieye that it is the horse and not the man
whose memory has been honored by Ken
lucky.

THE STATE PRESS.

Spokane Spokesman: aThe Seattle Telegraph
is another Democratic paper that handles figures
without the slightest regard 10 their correct
ness, when it thinks that by so doing IL can
make point against the Republicans. Tuesday
Ii remarked that the Forty-fourth congress only
appropriated 1854, 100000. The Forty-fourth con-
gress sat from December 8, 1875, TO March f. 1877.
Its appropriation bills covered the period from
July l. 1876, to June 80, 1878. The net ordinary
expenses, including interest for the first OF
these years, 1865 iol ,0S4 and for the second,
s2i1 ss4 475, 1851, AS $50 for the congress. The
appropriations of every congress since the Thlr-
ty-third have exceeded $l3i.0Oo,o 0o"
walla Walla Union-JournGi: "Walls Walla has
always had the reputation OF being very moral
town. 1t is often compared with Eastern and
older cities, and noted for the points OF SIM
ilarity. The police court record published last
month excited comment throughout the state
for the small number OF arrests and hnes by
this statement many people will make up their
opinions of the place. Walla Walla takes great
pride in this showing, and her city officers are
ever devoted 70 sustaining this high character.
Even the unfortunate Hunt tragedy was not put
down TO Walla Walla's discredIt by the people
abroad"

the rule rather than the exception that the farm
hands soon have a place of their own, becomes
and remains good citizen, rears family and
adds the wealth of his accumulation to the tax
able property of the commonwealth.
Kent Journal: "a great outcry is heard from
the politicians because the farmers have begun
exercising that same business sense so much
lauded in the case of the manufacturers, miners
and other business men. That is, holding on
to their grain for the purpose OF securing the
advantages of the market usually awarded to
the SPECTATORS. That which passes for shrewd
business tact in others 10 terrible thing for the
producers of the country to indulge in.''
Referring to the blunder in the matter of the
Worlds fair board, the Tacoma Ledger says: at
is, perhaps, a good thing for all concerned that
this irregularity has been discovered, and that
new start will have to be taken in consequence.
The executive committee and the executive
commissioner were already working at cross
purposes, and the work was being delayed If, in
deed, it was not in danger of being wholly de-
feated."
Spokane Reuie,p: "It is a striking fact that
both in England and America gambling finds

and lower strata of society. AS rule, the mid

The sad drowning of Miss Boise and
young Mr.. Steele, of Portland, at Long
Beach, is justly chargesble to the criminal
negligence of keepers of seaside resorts
who are too avaricious to provide even a
life line for the protection and safety of
their guests. These hotel proprietors ad-
yertise sea bathing among the attractions
of their premises, and then make no
provision whatever for the safety of those
they tempt to trust themselves to the
treachcrous waves. There is not beach
on the Atlantic coast that is not furnished
with life line, and all the larger beaches
are patrolled by boats on the water and by
life savers on land. The law should COM
pei the proprietors to provide both life
lines and boats. This is not the first life
that has been lost from lack of ordinary
precautions on part of the proprietors of
these resorts. 1t was only few years ago
that another leading young lady from
Salem lost her life under the same circum-
stances.

A fine stick of Alaska cedar from Mount
Rose, near Lake Cushman, is spoken of as
q rare find. Those who so consider it are
evidently not familiar with the timber of
the more elevated parts of the state, not
ably the higher peaks of the Cascade
range. In the eastern part of Snohomish
county the Alaska cedar grows in perfec-
ton and in commercial quantities, FORM
ing very considerable part of the re-
sources of that wonderfully rich region.
Presumably it grows in other parts of the
Cascade range, but nowhere at less alti-
tude than 3 $500 or 1900 feet

NOT A QUESTION OF SOCIAL EQUAL
ITY.

1t Is a good thing that the question of
1.-THE color line' has come up before the
u. A. r. National Encampment for settle
ment. for it needed decision, for in one in
stance at least in Portland, Oregon, a coll
ored man, whose credentials of service and
record of character had been approved by
the committee to whom they had been re-
ferred, was blackballed upon the sole
ground, as the opposition freely confessed,
first that he was colored man, and next
that he was cook, and therefore mot our
social peer" This action of the G. A. II.
at Detroit will not prevent the blackball-
ing OF colored men hereafter by veterans
afflicted with colorphobia but it will at
least place them clearly in the position of
deliberately violating the platform of the
order in order to crafty prejudice of
race and color. Officially the National
Encampment of the order refuses to es-
tablish the color line, and hereafter the
post that draws the color line will
be obliged to trample the De-
troit Interpretation of the plat
form of the order under its feet.
Under the amended constitution of our
reconstructed Union the black man is an
American citizen with the same civic
rights as a white man. This reconstruc-
ton was in the interest of progress, and in
line with the march and work of the
armies of the Union. The G. A. r. could
not afford officially to drop its origina.
platform below the level of constitutional
justice and equity down to the level of
discrimination of class, caste and color.
They could not afford to settle the color
line question in the spirit OF those inetfa-
bly, stupid people who, when the demand
for the abolition of slavery came, always
answered, "Do you want your daughter to
marry a niggerw Later when 1t was FRO
posed to allow the blacks civil rights came
the same agonizing inquiry still later when
it was proposed to extend the suffrage to the
blacks it was still the old interrogation,
"Do you want your daughter to marry a
nigger?" There were evidently very few
in the G. A. r. at Detroit that feared to
vote against the color line lest their
daughter marry Niger" That dread
full old Democratic political ghost has been
laid at last, and comparatively few white
men believe today that to make q negro a
man, a citizen and voter under law is
equivalent to commencing him to your
daughter as desirable husband.

elect men who will worship the

the old way Of doing things long
enough and should look to our

THE WAR On DIR. BLAINE.

James Ct. Blaine is a typical
American--keen, alert, pertina-
cious and resourceful. BY his
own exertions he has raised HIM
self to a place amoung the fore
most statesmen of the world.
He has labored unsparingly to
advance the Interests of the coun-
try, patiently enduring reproach,
calumny and misrepresentation.
The benefits of the policy OF re-
ciprocity suggested by him are
already being experienced by the
nation, and the diplomatic contro-
versies in which he has been en-
gagged bid fair to be settled advan-
tageously to the United States
But the labor Of his great Office
has oyertaxed his strength; and
he has been obliged to take fox
himself a needed rest
In his ret teaaent he has been
followed by s. oand OF journalistic
adventures who, like harpies,
prey upon h ,seclusion. The des-
picable co~aIdice which has
prompted certain unfriendly news
papers within his own party as
well as opposition journals, to re-
ceive and print the sensational
dispatches sent out from Bar
Harbor is not misunderstood and
will not be forgotten. It is a
depth OF villinous rascality which
no American can encourage.
Whatever may be thought of
Mr.. Blaine as presidential candi-
date the warfare which is being
waged against him is mean and
petty beyond expression.
The American people like fair
fight, and they viii not counter
ance such brutal methods as are
being employed.
