THE STATE FLOWER.

Joseph w. Dorr, of Blaine, writes to the Posi-
INTELLIGENCKR: l understand that the sup
porters OF the rhododcndron in Whatcom who
wanted to exhibit their choice for state flower
at their recent election, were compelled to
charter a steamer to go where they could obtain
some, outside this county. Imagine tho follow
ing dialogue at the Worlds fair in 1898: "Well.
well! old man, why haven't you got your state
flower in your button-hole? Every other man
on the grounds has" "Oh, could not get any.
No one knows where they can be found. Our
folks chose tho rhododendron, because it wore
such fine clothes, and it is 80 uncommon that
there are none to be had 1t may be unknown
to some, but we have a native clover In this
country whose blossom is combination of
purple, white and pink, and is very beautiful.
SKamokawa Eagle: The beautiful white clover
is to be seen everywhere now. 1t covers the
fields and the roadsides. It takes the place Of
stumps and ferns and enriches the soil Its
modest blossoms are full of honey, The chill
dren gather 1t by the handful and its fragrance
flls the whole house. II the white clover grows
in all parts of Washington as freely ana beauti-
fully as it does in Wahkiakum county. we sug-
gest its adoption as the state flower.
Anacortes American: The controversy as to
whether the state flower emblem shall be the
clover or the rhododendron still continues to
rage. There can in our opinion be little ques-
ton but that the latter and more stately flower
would be our more fitting representative. Up
right and regal let our flower be like our grand
young state.
Snohomish Sun: We do not believe that the
people OF Washington wish to adopt for their
floral emblem flower in whose name is in
cluded the name of another state; for instance

The shotgun marriage of blood and
fraud at the South bore bitter fruit in the
recent Louisiana election, when the Fos-
ter faction of the Democracy used its COM
plete control of the ballot boxes to defeat
its rival, the McEnery faction of the De-
mocracy, in the same way that the united
Democracy had in the past used its power
to defeat the Republicans. Voters were
bulldozed, ballot boxes robbed and false
returns were made. The same charges are
made by the rival factions of the Alabama
Democracy against each other in the So
called "Biack Belt" of that state. The
same threats were made by the Iliiman
Democracy in South Carolina.
There is an old story told of the Spartan
boy who stole a fox and hid it in his

until the fox bit into his vitals and he
died with lie on his lips. hugging to his
breast obstinately the thing he had stolen.
The South is hugging the black fox OF

is slowly yet surely eating out the life of
the thief who stands up stiffiy with lie

confiscate the negro's vote at its own
sweet will and discretion. The resistance
of the Republican party to this determIna-
ton Of the South is in obedience not only
to public justice and political good faith
but it is in accordance with sound party
policy to indict the South for its theft of
forty votes in congress and forty votes in
the electoral college.

GRANTS ROUTE.

The Grafton of Chauncey Depew at the
laying of the cornerstone of the Grant
monument has prompted some Southern
correspondent writing from Montgomery,
Ala, to ask the New York Sun "why
Grant did not take his army south of the
James at once and thus save 5000 men. !"
General Sherman in his Strategy of the
War" answers this question, when he
analyZes the causes of the failure of the
Peninsula campaign of 1862. General
Sherman says that Mcclellan failed be-
cause he took wrong objective and
wrong line of operation. He had ample
power and adequate force, but his OBJ

THE DEATH OF EMMoss BLAINE

The household of Secretary Blaine is
Again in deep mourning tor the dead. Mr..
Blaine's brilliant son, Emmons, the pride
and hope of his father, died yesterday
morning. During the last two years Sec
rotary Blaine has suffered severe family
Affections. Last year his brilliant son
Walker died at Washington. and now the
great statesman is called upon TO endure
second great trial. The heart of the coun-
try without distinction of party will go
out to the great statesman and his admir-
able wife with unaffected sympathy for
them in their deep bereavement.
Mr.. Blaine is man of highly organized
and sensitive nature, a man of sweet,
amiable and afiectionate disposition; he
has been devoted husband and father,
and his domestic life has been of a serene
and happy sort. Upon such man, drop
ping as he is into the vale of years when
he begins to lean on his children for his
best sympathy and enjoyment in the days
when all men begin to lose their relish for
the noise and heat of the dusty arena of
public life, this great bereavement will
fall with crushing force.
We are glad to believe that at this hour
Mr.. Blaine will receive from all his coun-
trymen, without distinction of party or re-
Ggious faith, assurances OF the warm place
he holds in their hearts, and of the deep
sorrow they feel that he is again called
upon to bear severe domestic calamity.
Mr.. Blaine in all things is true Amer
lean, and Americans of all shades of opin-
ion will deeply grieve that his home is
again desolated by death.

THE SAN JUAN ARBITRATION.

The reference Of matters of interna-
tional dispute to arbitration is a compare
lively modern policy of which the United
States has been an honorable exponent.
The Bering sea arbitration is the first i'm
portant resort to tribuna. of this sort
that has taken place since the famous
Geneva arbitration that was followed by
the treaty of Washington. 1t is possible
some of our readers have forgotten that
among the subjects for settlement under
the treaty of Washington in 1871 was the
ownership of San Juan island. Under
the Oregon treaty with Great Britain. signed
June Is. 1916, the dividing line was to be
''the 10th degree of latitude from the Rocky
mountains west to the middle of the
channel separating Vancouver island from
the mainland; thence southerly through
the middle of the channel and of Fuca's
straits to the Pacific" The channel and
the straits were to be free. as also the great
northern branch of the Columbia river
By this treaty Vancouver island remained
to Great Britain and the free navigation
of the Columbia river was secured. This
treaty settled the question for that time,
but an important part of it came up for
settlement many years after.
The commissioners appointed to deter
mine that portion of the boundary which
was to run southerly through the middle
of the channel were unable to come to any
agreement on the subject and this new
question. known as the San Juan bound
airy, became part of the famous treaty of
Washington in 1871 and was finally set
tied by the arbitration of the emperor of
Germany, William l., who decided that
the American claim to the ownership of
the small island of San Juan, near Van
couver island, and for years jointly occu-
pied by England and the United States,
was just. San Juan was evacuated by
England in consequence of this award at
the close of 1873

A NON-PARTIsAN JUDICIARY.

1t is urged by the majority Of the law
yers in this city and Tacoma that a nom
partisan judiciary is a desirable reform.
Let the lawyers recommend a ticket for
support to the nominating conventions of
both parties; a non-partisan ticket which
representing both parties will be ratified
by both parties. The argument pleaded
for this reform is that a nomination OBJ
tanned in this way without a vulgar scram-
bic in party politics would be accepted by
the very best lawyers in the state who will
not today go into a dusty fight for place
on the bench. AS it stands now the polit-
ical worker rath er than the best lawyer is
likely to secure the nomination. Every
property holder, every friend of impartial
civil and criminal justice would welcome
anon-partisan judiciary composed of the
best legal learning, ability and character
obtainable in both parties. The lawyers
are deeply interested in making the courts
as able and excellent as possible, and
surely no one will deny that the real Sc
curity of life, liberty and property de-
ponds upon the intelligence, independence,
impartialIty and general excellence of our
courts.
Judicial offices are not properly the
prizes of partisanship. President Harri-
son, an able lawyer, has shown himself to
be of this opinion by appointing several
able Democratic lawyers to the United
States judiciary. In Oregon the services
of Judge Shattuck have been obtained
and retained upon the bench of the state
circuit court because of his nomination
by the lawyers and its ratification by the
conventions of both parties. Judge Shat
tuck is the pride of the Oregon judiciary,
but under our present system he never
would have consented to compete for the
position: he has neither the ability nor
the inclination to make a political fight
within his party for the nomination, but
the tender of an honorable place by both
parties he is proud to accept. 1t is be-
lieved that the same result would follow
in Washington.
A good lawyer is reluctant today to
make partisan fight for place on the
bench, but it is believed that few, if any,
of our best lawyers would hesitate to &C.
cept as an honorable expression of public
respect and confidence nomination made
by the bar and accepted by the conven-
tions of both parties. Amy arrangement
which would improve the quality of the
Judiciary ought to be approved by the peo-
pie, and the suggestion of a non.partisan
bench of judges to be recommended by
the bar To both partiea for Endorsement
ought to meet with general favor.

would have had ample time to prepare
that succession of entrenched positions
Grant encountered from Spottsyivama
to Petersburg. The same running
siege" would have been encountered
had the campaign been made from
Fortress Monroe as from the Rapidan.
The Peninsula presented better field for
entrenched lines for it is only from five to
ten miles wide. while at Yorktown and
Williamsburg it is not over two miles
wide, and Lee could have made as formid-
able resistance on that line as any other.
Grant moved by the direct route where he
could always defend Washington and
move to right or left. He moved by the
left flank, preferring a short line to Acquia
creek to guard to the longer line move
ment by the right flank would necessitate.

Petersburg, broken the railroads below
