THE LEGISLATURE.

It is safe to assert that the next legis-
ia.ure Of Washington will be Republican
on joint ballot by majority which will
not fall far below forty. This Republicans
have a large majority in both houses.
Allowing the Democrats every doubtful
seat, the Republicans will still have an
overwhelming majority. and will unques-
tionably elect Republican United States
senator.
This renders certain the reelection of
United States Senator Allen, who has
served the people of this state faithfully
and we'll since its admission INTO the
Union. No man better deserves the honor
of . reelection than does John B. Allen.
As senator he has been industrious,
earnest and faithful to the interests OF his
state. He has been broad enough and
great enough to represent the whole state
and not any particular city or section
within its borders. He has displayed
abilities of high order, and during his
short term of service has taken a rank in
the senate which is creditable alike to
him and to the state which he represents.
The people Of Washington, regardless
of party, have reason to be congratulated
upon the apparent certainty Of Senator
Aliens reelection.

THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEES.

The Republicans of Washington and Of
King county. in the contemplation of their
sweeping victory, should not forget the
credit which is due to the gentlemen who
managed their campaign as members OF
their state ana county committees.
The Republican state committee has
conducted q mpaign which has far ex-
ceeded anything heretofore attempted in
this state. It has kept in the field many
speakers. and has conducted a canvass
whose only possible outcome was victory.
Chairman Sullivan. Secretary Nichols and
Treasurer Van de Vanter have labored
earnestly, faithfully and intelIigently in
behalf of the party, and every Republican
In the state should take pleasure in &C
knowledging their valuable services.
Equal praise can be accorded to the off,
GERS Of the Republican county committee.
Too much cannot be said Of the faithful
work Of Chairman Arthur, Vice Chairman
Gordon, Secretary Mott and Treasurer
Spencer. They have labored with. an
earnestness and heartfelt desire for Re-
publican success which cannot be over
stated. The intelligence and the vigor
with which they worked is attested by the
magnificent majority which King county
has rolled up for the entire Republican
ticket.
In both the state and county committees
the Republicans have had the right men
in the right place.

A SWEEPING VICTORY.

Returns from the state are now so COM
plete that there can no longer be even the
shadow Of doubt as to the result. Not
only does Washington cast its vote for the
Republican candidate for president. but
the entire Republican state ticket is
elected and the Republicans have secured
large majority in both branches Of the
legislature. This is the answer of the
state of Washington to the narrow and
jealou. spirit which prompted the fight
againt King county.
The Democratic party was induced by
the little band of Seattle-haters at Tacoma
TO make an unwarranted assault upon this
county. The result is to be seen in the
returns The people of the state who love
fair play revolted against the dictation of
the Seattle-haters and have triumphantly
elected the man whom they most hated
Hundreds of fair-minded Democrats as
sisted in achieving this result, and it
would be unjust to claim tn S victory As q
purely partisan one. 1t is nothing more
or less than an uprising against the
would-bs dictatorship of the Seattle
Laters.
The lengths to which the Republican
bolters in Pierce county went are only
now fully realized. The returns in that
county show that they traded the ma
tionai and county tickets in their mad de-
sire to accomplish the defeat of the Re-
publican state ticket. With all their eff
forts, however. they have merely sue
ceeded in defeating their party in their
own county. The state stands steadfastly
In the Republican column.

to the results Of free trade, don't think it will

can't produce lumber any cheaper, nor quite as
cheap, fancy. Thev have to pay q stumpage
royalty to the government OF 50 cents. with
rebate of 25 cents when consumed in the coun-
try, which practically amounts to an export tax
OF D cents Per thousand feet. So don't think

hurt Us much

vest against q one-sided Southern Demo-
cratic tariff, which withd.aws protection
from the Western producer of raw ma
teriais and retains it for the Eastern man
ufacturer, the Democratic party will not
carry any Republican states west of the
Aiieghenies as they did on Tuesday last.
We shall ultimately come either to equal
and universal free trade for producer and
manufacturer or equal and universal pro-
lection which We have today. The
Democracy expect with the bride of free
raw materials to retain the support of the
rich importers of New York city and the
manufacturers of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Massachusetts,. With
Tree raw materials and protection for
his finished goods under the Mills bill the
las tern manufacturer can, of course, buy
cheap and sell dear; the profits OF the New
York importer are increased, while the
farmer. stockgrower and miner Of the
West win be obliged to sell cheap and buy
dear. In other words. the South proposes
to deliver the Western producer into the
hands of the Eastern manufacturer; pro-
PcsSS W TAX lUS consumer lOf the dement,
OF the manufacturer alone; proposes free
trade in crude materials with protection
for finished goods. This is Cleveland's Dem
ocratic policy Of tariff reform. which he
would substitute for the principle of equal
protection tor all American industry.
The West that has helped to elect Cleve-
land on the platform of free raw materials
and protection continued to finished goods
will be the FIRST to revolt, if ever this kind
OF one-sided protection incarnated in the
Mills bin is forced on the country by
the Solid South and the Eastern importers
and manufacturers. This Western revolt
will surely come and it will either force
the Democratic party forward to full free
trade for both producer and manufacturer,
or it will re-establish the present equal and
universal protection. Everything comes
TO him who waits, and the Republican
party will not have to wait long after the
Democratic theory of tariff reform has be-
come practice for vindication.

For profit. grape growing casts far in the
shade everything which Chautauqua, \.
Y, county farmers have taken from their
soil.
These grapes are the same variety, the
Concord, that grow well in Washington,
and the farmers Of Western New York are
growing rich from grape culture in cli-
mate and soil that Is no better than parts
of Washington for visiculture. And yet
here are the Seattle markets filled with
Concord grapes raised at Brocton, Chau-
tauaua county. n. Y, when our soil ana
climate is good enough for grape culture
to make Brocton, n. y, feel that sending
Concord grapes TO Seattle was like sending
Goals to Newcastle. Brocton, y. Y,
finds our home market SO completely
unoccupied by native grape growers that
it pays TO send them 1900 miles across the
continent to q country that could raise
more grapes than its home market could
possibly take. if grape culture was only
systematically undertaken by our farmers.
1t is SO with everything. Butter. eggs,
chickens, fruit and vegetables, are largely
brought to our market from other states
when they could be easily raised and
marketed at our own doors. Portland,
Or, Is better off than Seattle or Tacoma
because many Chinese have devoted them
selves to the work of growing vegetables
for the market.
The trouble lies chiefly in the lack of
disposition to take pains and do good
farming. As good fruit and vegetables can
be grown here Is in any state of the East
with the same care and systematic effort.
1t takes care and pains to raise fine field
Of hops; it takes care and pains to raise
good grapes, apples and other fruit, but the
pains will pay, for we have already market
enough to make grape growers ship their
crop by rail clear across the continent.

EUROPE EAvORS 1T.
International Conference to Fix the Ratio
between Gold and Silver.

DtLhten 8Olu anu
New YORK, Feb 27.-The departure
of Secretary Foster on his European
visit revived considerable gossip
in financial circles in this city,
and interest is sustained on
the subject by the continued
movement of gold to Europe. The
probability of a bi-metallic interna-
tional conference seems stronger now
than it has been in a long time. Cor
respondence has passed between
the principal authorities on finance
in this country and England,
which is said to have resulted in a
thorough conviction that Great Brit
ain will favorably respond to any
invitation to discuss the question
of establishing an international
ratio between gold and sill
yer. It is also believed that assur-
ances have been received that the
French and German governments
would heartily cooperate in any con-
gress of nations to consider the silver
question.

Our First Congress.

On the 4th day OF March. 1889. the
hrst Congress of the United States of
America began its first session. Though
we sometimes date our national exis-
tenee from July 4th, 1776, when the
Declaration OF Independence was pro-
mulgated to the world, that was really
only the establishment Of a confederacv
OF independent states, for the single pur-
pose Of freeing themselves from the
domination of the British Grown. Under
the compact the Revolutionary War was
fought. but after peace was gained, the
particular interests of the separate states
began TO clash, and il was evident that
the General Government needed larger
powers if the country was to amount TO
anythingamong the peoples of theearth.
Our existence as a consolidated and
powerful nation may therefore properly
be said TO have begun in 1889. The his
tory Of no nstion can show such a
growth in los years. And but a small
part of our 5000, 600 people would be
here We're il not for railroads, for the
center of the continent could not be
populous without them. and the bulk of
the population is in the central portion
OF the country. Foremost among these
transportation system is The Burlington
which gives the Northwestern people
quick and easy communication with the
East. South and Southwest. For tick
cts, time tables, MAPS. etc, call on your
