MI. Owings' Tribute to Squire.
From Speech Delivered by N. H. Owings in the

Washington Senate. November, 1889.
Mr.. President: 1t affords me great pleasure to
second the nomination of Watson c. Squire for
the high Office of United States senator for the
state of Washington. In this matter my convic-
ton of duty is plain. / feel that would not be
true to myself, and to my trust, II permitted
any motive to control me other than that which
would in the end result in the greatest good to
the greatest number Therefore / have en-
deavored to strip myself of all sentiment, all
selfish consideration. In arriving at this con-
clusion do not forget the high character and
great ability of the other candidates for this
position. Nor do ! desire to say anything
to detract one iota from any OF them
We hear much said, sir, in regard to
locality; we hear much said abont this county,
that or the other county. Mr. president, have
but little patience with this kind of talk, it is
unworthy of this presence. 1t is the officer we
want, and not the county, or the lotality. IL |
were satisfied that the best equipped citizen for
this position lived in Stevens county, or in San
Juan, or Skamania county, would not hesitate
to support him in preference to one less
equipped, living in my own county. Nay,
more, if there were two citizens living in the
northwest corner of Stevens county, better
equipped to serve US In the United Stats Senate
than any other citizen in the state, would feel
that would be false to myself, to my trust, to
my constituency, and to the obligations OF my
oath of office If i failed to support them. Enter
tanning these views have been persuaded that
Governor Squire is as well equipped as any
other citizen of the state for this position.

THE STATE PRESS.

The Spokane spotesmdn says that while
Olympia is full of newspaper men, the Tacoma
Ledger found difficulty in getting any one to
give satisfactory report. 1t wanted Calkins
stuff colored with carmine, and the majority of
the newspaper men refuse to father the cam
paign lies that are demanded. The position
was offered to several, but each refused, until
finally an amateur named Snowden was pre-
vailed upon to do the work His writing was
very crude, aud showed great inexperience.
Spokane Spokesman. "There are no dishonest
dollars in the pockets of the men whom Spo-
kane sent to Olympia They were elected be-
cause they were believed TO be honorable men.
They knew their constituents believed that
Senator Squire deserved reelection, and for
that reason they voted for him. Gossip has
questioned their fidelity in the last few days,
but there is no doubt now that the gossip had a
malicious or Interior motive There may have
been bribery at Olympia, yet Spokane can take
pride today III the certainty that its delegation

municipal division thereof, and any occupation
or practice of solicitation of such members or
officers to influence their official action, shall

Thus, despite the opposing forces of Islander,
Misrepresentation ana bribery, the win of the
people triumphs. Their representatives barely

vIGoR VERSUS COURTESY.

Present conditions in the two branches of
congress clearly prove that Vice President
Morton's courtesy" is by no means equal
to Speaker Reeds ''vigorn in dealing with
Democratic ohstructionists. In both
branches the representatives of that party
are actuated by a common and sole purpose
of blocking the wheels of legislation and
preventing the majority from reaching
vote upon pending measures. This is all
that remains of the great party that claims
the fathership of Thomas Jefferson. Ii is
affirmative in nothing, negative in all
things.
On the mere quibble that Mr.. Mckinley
was entitled 20 the floor on q question Of
privilege-which right he himself waived
and disclaimed--the Democrats of the
House, under the rufflanly leadership
of Mills, succeeded in keeping that
body from transscting any business
for two full days and made it the
scene of proceedings that were dis
grace to our country and TO modern
civilization. Admonished by this. when a
similar course was attempted on wednes-
day, the Speaker boldly and bravely exer-
cised his prerogative and put summary
stop 10 tactics which manifestly had no
other object than 10 delay and hinder from
the performance of duty the body over
which he has been called upon 10 preside.
In the other branch on the same day
German, the willy and INSCRIPTIONS Dem.
ccratic leader in the Senate, succeeded in
locking the wheels of that body aud CON-

Aldrich and the Vice President, simply
because they and their colleagues on the
Republican side had more regard for the
"courtesies Of the Senate than for their

Alfred Rothschild is reported to have paid
twelve thousand guineas-about Sos, O0o- for the
portrait of Eliza Ann Linley, the wife of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, painted by Gainsborough.
This is said to be by far the highest price ever
paid for mere portrait. It affords additional
proof that good quality of oil paint, properly
mixed with brains, is, ounce for ounce, worth
far more than gold. But this does not apply to
the kind of brains that about the same time
another of the Rothsehilds family blew out be-
cause he had lost few millions in speculation.

Recalling the proverb that 'If speech is sill

organ Of the East quite shrewdly argues that its
idol, Grover Cleveland, is by his silence pro-

preferment. SO cranky is 1t in this respect that

The proportion Of urban population
has increased gradually during the past
century from s.35 up to Is per cent,
or from one-thirtieth up to nearly one
third Of the total population. The in
crease was quite regular from the
beginning up to 1880, while from

number Of cities having . population Of

to 4ls in 1soo. In 1850 there was but
one city, New York, which had . popu-

there were three, New York, Chicago
