The high water mark that was
reached in the Kaw and Missouri
rivers at Kansas City two weeks
since does not appear to satisfy those
ambitious streams, and they are
threatening again to overflow the
lowlands and carry destruction to the
recently submerged lands. This is
deluge year, the year in which the
republican fortunes will be at high
water mark, and overflow the low
lands of democracy.

THE Aoee-cLARk FleuaEs

" GNHN TIN .
The Galveston News has a summa-
ry OF the situation OF the state cam.
psign for the governorship, the re-
turns being carried forward until the
midnight of Tuesday. The figures of
the News show q very close condition
of the canvass. According to this
showing Hogg has instructed for him
ninety.nine votes of counties, and
eight votes of primaries; a total of
one hundred and seven. Clark has
sixty-eight votes of counties and forty.
three votes of primaries; a total of
one hundred and eleven. In the way
of endorsements Hogg has those of
counties that will cast fifty-eight
votes in the convention and Clark has
fifsy-one. Contrasting counties have
sixty votes. 1t will thus appear that
if the primary votes are counted there
is very little to choose from, but it Is
not always that these primaries will
be able to influence the county In it's
action, and this gives the scale a
tendency in the Hogg direction. 1t is
evident from these figures, embracing
nearly three-eights of the votes in
the convention, that neither Hogg
nor Clark can possibly enter the con
vention with q sufficient following to
nominate under the two.thirds rule.
This ~ofcourse presupposes square deal
ing all round. 1t is worthy of notice,
however, that more county votes are
contested already than are actually
instructed for Clark, and II this pro.
portion is preserved to the end of the
campaign it will throw the organiza.
ton of the convention into the hands
of the Hogg men, who have the adj
vantage of the state committee as
their sllies. Ordinarily it would be
perfectly safe to predict that neither
Hogg no Clark will be nominated,
and that after q season of Intellectual
bslloting, and the certain dead lock
of the convention so far as these two
are concerned, the dark horses in the
stalls would be trotted out. It hardly
seems possible that Hogg q 80 dom.
mate the convention as to throw out
all the Clark contestants and take
forcible possession, but with such q
man it is hard to say what will not be
done to secure the nomination, ifonly
q way can be made. This is certain,
the bitterness OF the campaign will
be carried into the convention, and
between these present candidates
there will be war to the knife and the
knife 10 the hilt. There can be no
compromise, neither is there any
chance for Clark's nomination; while
Hogg stands no chance of being NOM
mated, unless he q throw the Clark
delegates out, by the aid of the COM
mittee on credentials.

THE Hogg bulletin from Austin is
q slick dodge of oleaginous Jeems to
screw the courage of the doubtful
counties to the sticking point, by i'm
pressing them with the idea that the
Governor is having thingsall his own
way. What matters it that it is all
false, so long as it has its desired
effect. In this case does not the end

effect the fact of its being there, nor
will it prevent that vote being cast

A CARD
From Prof. Seward to All Physicians
Tin Good Standing) of Seattle.

Pro-. +. d. Seward, expert optician of
New York City, now at the Grand Hotel,
Seattle, presents his compliments to the
medical fraternity and invites one and all
to call and examine his credentials from
the East and letters of endorsement from
leading physicians throughout the United
States, and especially those from along
the Pacific coast, many of whom are we'll
known to the fraternity in this city.
These letters of endorsement cannot be
published, as you are aware, on account of
the medical code of ethics, but they are
open to inspection at my office in the
Grand Hotel.
My time IS so much occupied as to pre-
vent my calling upon you individually,
but you might call upon me at your con-
venience and satisfy yourself, SO that in
sending your patients to me for the adap-
tation of glasses you can send them with
entire confidence in my ability and the
assurance of courteous treatment.
i take this opportunity of expressin e my
appreciation for the work already sent to
me by those of the fraternity who have
known me for some time by reputation.
My work is strictly in refraction and l
cannot accept any cases for operation or
treatment.
The work now on hand will keep me
here for some weeks longer.
This card will be inserted for three days,
commencing Monday, March II.

Mr.. Durham, who was made president oil the
company in June. The operating department
was in May put in charge OF +. W. Dunn as
superintendent of the main line, and in July he
was made superintendent of the whole western
division, including the northern branch. John
Craig had been appointed auditor in February,
1889.
In the spring OF 1890 it became evident that
the line was too valuable to remain independ-
eut from the great trunk lines of the West The
Eastern stockholders were ready to sell, and the
Seattle men, who had put their money in the
road aad to whose efforts its existence was
mainly due, were also willing to let ii become
part OF some great system, but they made the
proviso that 1t must remain in the hands OF n
corporation friendly to the city. The Canadian
Pacific either could not or would not buy it; the
Great Northern officials inspected it and took
time Tor consideration; the Union Pacific had not
the money. even If il bad the will. The Northern
Pacific was not only willing but anxious to buy.
The Eastern stockholders on June 5, 1890. made a
bargain. They sold to the Northern Pacific a
majority OF the stock, to be paid for in install
ments, the last of which was to fail due on June
/, 1891. When the final payment was made, the
stock was TO be transferred to representatives of
the Northern Pacific, who would proceed TO
organize the road in such way to ineorpor-
ate II with their own system. In the mean
time it was agreed that the two roads should
work tremendously, and they have done SO.
When the line TO the boundary was completed
President Durham went to New York and az.
ranged its transfer TO the railroad company.
He then carried through the transfer of the
majority Of the stock to the Northern Pacific.
The operating department was Immediately
, turned over to the Northern Pacific by the
appointment OF J. 81 Hannaford as general
traffic manager and G. W. Dickinson as superin-
tendent of the Lake shore road, these gentlemen
holding corresponding Offices on the Northern
Pacific. On the following DAY Mr.. Dickinson
appointed I. A. Nsdeau, who is assistant super
intendent OF the Northern Pacific in this city, to
take charge of the Lake shore, with the same
title.
Thus the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern rail-
way loses its individuality as railroad and is
absorbed into the great system to which is
chiefly due the recent great development of the
state. While the road has not remained what
its projectors designed It to be-a Seattle road,
owned by Seattle men and operated in the inter-
est primarily OF Seattle-it has served the pur-
pose OF keeping up the heart OF the people dur
ing critical periods until the city has forced its
claims to respect the attention OF the great
trunk lines OF the country. The city no longer
needs road of its own to reach out after trans
continental connections, for the transconti-
mental railroads are eagerly coming here.

HISTORY OF THE ROAD.

The beginning of construction OF the Seattle
Lake shore e Eastern railway marked an epoch
