That Wagon Road to Elk City.

Messrs. Parkman and Barker, of Ana
cortes, who went into Elk last week, re-
turned Monday and are very enthusiast
tic over the prospects of the camp.
They will return again in the fall and
will then in all likelihood make extern
sive investments in mining properties
in different parts of the camp. Mr..
Parkman told the F. P. reporter that a
wagon road from Grangeville to Elk
City was a very necessary enterprise,
and he was surprised to find how
little work is required to make q fine
mountain wagon road, and still more
surprised that the people of the Prai-
rie and the camp had not joined forces
and built the road years ago. This same
fact has surprised a good many more
visitors than Mr.. Parkman, who all re-
alise the immense advantages that
would accrue to both points from the
construction of road. Sooner or later
a road must be built to Elk City, and it
strikes us that the quicker it is built,
the quicker will be the development
and the greater will be the benefit to
the men who build it. IF We wish to
realise anything out of Elk City we
ought to build the road soon, but If we
wish to leave the wealth of the camp all
undeyeloped as heritage to our chill
dren and our successors, then we ought
to be content with the old mule trail
which now does duty. Why cannot
this proiec, be started up again? The
people at both ends are ready and will
ing to start it up. Messrs. Parkman,
Barker and Summers left for the Sound
Tuesday.

HILL CRITICISED.

The Buffalo Courier, the most influential
Democratic newspaper in western New
York, says that if Hill ''be candidate for
the presidential nomination" his recent
Elmira speech advocating the Free indie
pendent and unlimited" coinage of silver
dollars will surely bring to him fatal en-
barrassments." The Albany Argus also
showed surprise that the senator-governor
should take a position contrary to that
of every regular Democratic party
journal in the state. The Courier
frankly declares that the Democracy
could not win New York's electoral vote
upon Hills Elmira platform, in so far as
It concerns the question of silver coinage.
There is no doubt about the free coinage
views of Governor Hill, for he commends
the free coinage bill passed by the Senate
on the 18th of January of the present year.
This bill was a concoction of Senators
Yes. and Stewart, and was a free coinage
bill pure and simple, without interna-
tional concert, or the suggestion of any,
but with the added feature of legal tender
certificates for the dollars so coined. This
bill vas killed in the House.
The New York World confesses that
"Hill's position seems 10 us unwise"

A MCGwUMP TRICK.

Representatives Sherman, Hoar and g.
F. Williams, of Massachusetts,, declined
to vote for Crisp for speaker after they had
participated in the Democratic caucus and
voted for their fayorite candidate on every
one of its twenty-nine ballots. Because
Mills was not nominated they were miffed
and declined to vote for his successful
competitor. They eased their consciences,
however, by not voting at all.
These gentlemen are both Democrats of
the Mugwump variety. The Democratic
majority in the House of Representatives
is so large that, as matter of course,
their action made no practical difference.
But suppose it had been otherwise. Sup
pose the votes Of these two members had
been decisive. They would have assisted
in the defea. of the candidate of caucus
into which they had voluntarily entered
and whose final decision they had assisted
III shaping.
These men seem TO have no idea OF the
moral obligation which man assumes
when he agrees to work in unison with
other men. They viii be- valuable allies
for the Democracy.

THE STEAMBOAT TIE-UP.

The present tie-up of the steamboats, on
Puget sound is most unfortunate. Re-
sulting from dispute between the captains
and the engineers, concerning the merits
of which the public is not able to Judge
clearly, the commerce of the Sound is all
but paralyzed, and, as usual, the long
suffering public bears the brunt of the
burden aItd mildly wonders wherein it has
offended that 1t should suffer thus.
The trouble had its inception in dis
turbance on board the steamer Olympian,
which resulted in all concerned leaving
the boat. Because of this trouble charges
were preferred against Engineer Smith,
and counter-charges were preferred against
Captain McAlpine, the commander of the
steamer.
These charges and counter-charges were
heard before the local inspectors of hulls
and boilers. Here the great mistake was
made. The hearing was held behind closed
doors. This should not have been. Ii was
in the nature of a judicial inquiry. and it
was matter in which the public was
properly interested. There was no excuse
for making the hearing secret, but it was
made so, and the public has no way of
judging certainly of the right and wrong
of the matter.
The hearing resulted in the revocation of
the license of Engineer Smith and the sus-
pension of the license of Captain McAlpine
for thirty days. Presumably this finding
was just. Owing 10 the unfortunate Sc
crecy maintained, however. the public has
no way OF knowing that it was The cap
tains and the owners of vessels generally
maintain that it was. The engineers say
that it was not. They have appealed the
case TO the supervising inspector at san
Francisco, and his decision will probably
be regarded as final.
In the meantime Captain McAlpine's
suspension had expired and he was ordered
by Captain Rathboue. Of the Union Pa
eitic. to take command Of the Sehorne.
Prior TO this. however, the local assembly
Of the Marine Engineers Association had
resolved that no members of their organi-
ration would serve under Captain Meal
pine until Engineer Smiths license was
restored. When Captain McAlpine as
sumed command OF the Sehome. there
fore, the engineers lett the boat As an
answer 20 this the captains, through their
organization, the Brotherhood Of Steam
boat Pilots. decided that they would no.
take cut their boats with union engineers
until the action against Captain MoAlpine
is reseinded. The tie-up is the result.
No wonder the public is soTely puzzled
There is both right and wrong on both
sides of the controversy. On the one
hand, assuming that the decision Of the
local inspectors IS just, the boycott against
Captain McAlpine is wrong. On the other
hand, however. any engineer, or any
body OF engineers, has a right 10 refuse 10

right to coerce him into doing 50.
Such is the situation and such. in brief,
are the respective positions Of the captains
and of the engineers. The great sufferer,
as has been said. is the public, which
must pay the fiddler for all such dis
cordant dances. 1t seems that here Is
case where the spirit of compromise and
concession should rule and where each
side should yield something in difference
to the general interest.

ALDERMAN DENNY.

Mayor Hall has appointed D. T. Denny
70 fill the vacancy in the board OF alder
men created by his own elevation to the
mayors Office.
Mr.. Denny Is literally one of the fathers
of Seattle. He is one of the original
settlers of the town. He has lived here
from the beginning, and his name, as that
of all his family, is closely linked with the
history of Seattle. He is wealthy and able
and he is regarded as man of solid worth.
That he will perform his duty faithfully
and honestly is not for one moment to be
questioned.
In spite of all this, however, Mayor Hall
should have appointed Republican.

THE REAPER'S SONG.

When the harvest moon is rising,
Aud the shadows fill the plain,
Like the sound OF far-off bugles
Comes the reaper's glad refrain,
As he journeys from the binding
OF the ripe and yellow sheaves,
Like the swallow, speeding homeward,
To the humble cottage caves:
And the bearded wheat stands silent,
As it lists, with bated breath,
To the song that rings with gladness,
Yet betokens naught but death;
For the moon glints on his sickle,
As on warriors bladed steel,
And the ripe wheat on the morrow
Oft its keen-edged thrust will feel.
-Thon1ds r, Smith

aldermen, the proper person to fill the
brief remnant of an unexpired term.
Mr.. White had meantime left for Cali
fornia. The charter had provided there
should be no interregnum, by declaring
that in the event of the mayor being alb
sent or incapacitated in any way from per-
forming the duties of his Office, they
should devoive upon the president of the
board of aldermen, and in case of his abb
sence or incapacity, upon the president of
the house of delegates
had Mr.. White resigned at q period so
remote from the general election that 8
special election was necessary. there can
be no doubt that Mr.. Hall would have
been the acting mayor until the election
The converse of this proposition would
mean that the city would be without an
executive, and therefore no ordinance call
ing for an election could be passed, the
signature of the mayor being essential
There could be no executive action till the
state legislature should again set the mu-
nicipal machinery in motion. The city
would be dead in law.
1t is beyond controversy, then, that had
the city council taken any other course
than that which it adopted the moment it
discovered its error, it would have
plunged the city into unnecessary con-
fusion and unwarrantable expense.
As It Is, the machinery runs smoothly
under the direction of lawfully elected
and able mayor, the law has been observed
in its wisest and most beneficent aspect,
no wrong has been done any interest, and
IN March next the people will, in the
usual orderly and constitutional ma1her,
declare their choice of an administration
for the ensuing two years.
