of Alabama over Hill is like the rapture
of the fellow who, finding the same repul-
sive birthmark on the arm of the stranger,
embraces him, shrieking: "Come
to my arms, my long lost brother"
DAVID B. Hill is the only conspicuous
Northern Democrat who has openly put
on the armor and adopted the illegitimate
weapons of the Southern political bandlttl
of the ballot box. No wonder they well
come him. no wonder the Alabama Demo-
cracy hasten to adopt him into their tribe,
even as the Shawnees fastened to adopt
Simon Girty, the white man who proved
both his will and capacity to tomahawk
more than Indian neatness and dispatch.
For the success of Hill the New York
Mugwumps and the third party prohibit
tionists are responsible. In 1885 the Third
Party prohibitionists in New York state
polled $4,000 votes, thus electing to the
governorship Hill, who has steadily vetoed
every high license bill, in obedience to the
command of the saloon power. In 1883
Hill, the saloon candidate, was elected by
reason of the action of the third party
men in refusing to cast their votes for
Warner Miller for governor, and in conse-
quence the liquor power is entrenched
within the state house at Albany for
years to come. The Democratic Mug
wumps kicking today in New York did
not revolt against Hill at the polls IN 1885
or in 1883; they could have sat down on Hill
and Tammany last November, but they
would not, despite the fact that the state
convention had clearly foreshadowed
the triumph of Tammany Hall.
When Hill could have been
scotched, if not slain, the Mug
wump Democrats, who follow Cleveland,
with the exception of the New York Euen-
ing Post. not only supported Flower, Hill
and Tammany, but Cleveland himself
spoke for Hills ticket. Verify the New
York Mugwump Democracy are not only
responsible for Hills leadership of the
party. but helped to kill their fatted calf,
Cleveland, by driving him into the Tam
many shambles. The Cleveland calf that
expected to eat grass and chew his cud the
rest of the year stupidity offered his throat
to the knife of the butcher, and the result
is that the New York Mugwumps are hold
ing a lodge of sorrow over the horns and
hide of their dead cosset.

CONSTANT PRAISE!
Grateful Letters Constantly Coming
to Prof. Seward.

In his travels through the large cities of
the United States, Prof Seward. the cele-
brated New York Optician, was so success
full in supplying glasses to people af-
fiicted with defective or weak vision that
he is now in constant receipt of letters
breathing gratitude and praise in every
line. 1t appears from these letters that
people who have had trouble in obtaining
proper glasses and who have been sup
piled by Prof. Seward, never cease to be
grateful TOR his services. A fair sample of
these valued tokens of appreciation is the
following from prominent lady of Port
land, Or:
~ wish to express myself a. very CRATE
full for the benefit l received from your
glasses"
DR.. W. D. Baker. one of the most emil
nent surgeons of Oregon, writes:
You have been to me, as you have
been to thousands of others, pubic ben
efactor"
Postmaster N. Shakespeare, of Victoria,
writes:
81 had never been able to use my left
eye until fitted with proper glasses by
Prof. Seward"
Rev. W. w Baird. OF Nanaimo, in speak
ing of his glasses, fitted by Prof. Seward,
"They focus my vision perfectly, and
are grand success in every particular"
DR.. McNaughton Jones, Of Victoria,
saws:
81 have never found any one that could
properly adjust glasses to my eyes until
visited Prof. Seward. The glasses he
made for me are genuine comfort and
can confidently recommend him to every
one."
DR.. Ernest Hall, the Victoria oculist,
says:
T.,J -
the world, today"
Rev. J. NJ. Mcleod, of Vancouver, saws:
"The glasses fitted by Prof. Seward re.
stored my vision equal to what 1t was
when was 20 years of age. (He is now

Rev. Thomas Baldwin. Mr.. F. Jensen.

Itch and others of Seattle, kindly permit
the use of their names as reference.
Prof. Seward commenced the study of
Physical Optics when quite boy, seven-
teen years ago. and during the past eight
years alone has succeeded in adjusting
glasses to over II, 500 persons, the records
of which are now on file.
A record of ench test is kept SO that
any one having glasses adjusted by Prof.
Seward can have the same duplicated in
case of accident at any future time by adj
dressing the New York office, No. IL
Maidsn Lane, or P. o. Box 1857, New
York CITY.
Those intending to call should do so
without de ay, as the professor expects to
close his office in this city by April 10 if
possible.

The Collection District.
T-onN Iarrrrar

Astoria papers have from several times stated
that one collection district would be more con-
venient, and that such was the de~re of the
commercial men of the Washington side. If
such is the fact We have been unable to under
stand it so. There is no need of our people
going to Gray's harbor to do CT tom-house busi-
should be an agent on the Washington side.
There are q large numbee of sI--mers siooss,
tugs and sehooners on WIliapa hsrbor, whose
owners are compelled to 60 to Astoria and
register, etc. Then there are the boats owned
on the Washington bunk Of the Columbia. All
of these people prefer to DO such business in
our own state. Which is the greater injustice
for Washington people to go to Gray's harbor,
or Wil!apa people to travel to Astoria? We

of the markets of the world it takes about
twenty-three pounds of silver to buy one
pound of gold, and yet we seriously con-
template free silver coinage of silver
dollar weighing 41215 grains, on the as
sumption that sixteen pounds of silver are
equal to one pound of gold. Our silver
dollars" are therefore much cheaper than
our gold dollars and of course our domes-
tic debts will always be discharged in the
cheapest lawful currency. The legal pro-
vision for the payment of all debts in gold
coin by the Pacific states shows that
our people understood this in
the old "greenback" days of
the war, and no Pacific state
would consent to repeal this act today
when there is no premium on gold or de-
probation in greenbacks. How many
advocates of "free silver" in Washington
today would vote for the repeal OF
this act? Not many, We fancy, and yet If
free silver coinage is sound finance why
not repeal the act compelling the payment
of debts in United States gold coin2
While the Bland silver bill, if enacted,
can make the silver dollar a legal tender
for its nominal value in the United States,
no law can make the silver dollar dis
charge debts due to foreign creditors to
any further extent than the commercial
value of the silver contained in the coin.
In familiar illustration of this fact the
New York Times says:
The merchant who imports coffee from Brazil
must pay for it in gold or its equivalent When
he sells it for silver dollars in the United States
he must make the price such as to produce AZ
much gold value as the coffee cost him and his
proper profit. He paws gold price; the Ameri-
can consumer must pay q gold price, though he
may not know it. If the importer pays for it by
exported merchandise, ii brings the same result,
for such merchandise is sold at gold prices.

The Beaver win Go to Chicago.

R. H. Benedict, representing the syndicate
organized by Francis Bourchier to take the pio-
neer steamer of the Pacific to Chicago, for exhi-
bition at the Worlds fair left for the city by the
lake last evening. the object OF his trip being
the placing of the remainder Of the stock with
American capitalists. 1t is to be regretted that
American money has had to be enlisted in the
praseworthy project, as it would have been
much more to the credit of British Columbia
had the Beaver been controlled and exhibited
by British Columbiaus alone. The fact that
only $3.50 of the $4,000 already subscribed is
local capital certainly does not speak very
strongly for provincial enthusiasm in the matter.

for increased purchases of silver, about
