The Republican prospects in Colorado
and Nevada are excellent. All the Denver
Republican newspapers, even those that
are supposed to voice the views of Senators
Wolcott and Teller, are supporting the
national ticket. In Nevada the Reno
Enterprise, the leading Republican news
paper of the state, stands firmly by the
Minneapolis ticket. The same situation
seems to exist in the other mining states.

sign of Republican dissatisfaction. In
Colorado there is, on the other hand, an
open revolt against Cleveland, and the
leading party organ has declared itself in

tinction of party prejudices, are frankly
proud Of having him as a fellow
townsman. They showed that spirit
of friendliness for him which the New
Highlander instinctivey feels for a
neighbor, and that due regard for one who
has occupied the highest office in the
country. There is no enthusiasm, there
is no familiarity. There is an almost abb
solute refusal on the part of those who
come in contact with him to be anything
but solemn. There is q good deal of cam
ardderic about Mr.. Cleveland, and he en-
joys friendliness. Therefore the solemn,
dignifed, self-guardedness Of these excel
lent sailors and fishermen, maintaining
always a wall between themselves and the
ex-president, used at first to make life as
gray as his gables. 1t is even said that he
once threatened to discharge skipper be-
cause he could not prevail upon him to
laugh, In consequence of which he would
frequently return from successful day of
fishing as blue as his catch.
Occasionally people drive up to the
porch and stare at the house and its inmates
with the inconsistencies of those whose
ethical codes is that they have q right to
everything that comes their way. When
such a man, or his wife, finds that he can
look into the domestic life of an ex and q
possible future president by simply star
ing, there is no rule of decency that will
prevent the staring. But annoyances at
Buzzard's Bay are the exception. 1t is an

The house is on point of land, the
water OF the bay coming well around the

Spokane Not Opposed to the Canal.
Progress in Spokane Spokesman.


It 10 to be regretted that an attempt has been
made to create political prejudice by announc-
jug the opposition of the voters throughout the
Columbia river counties to the proposed con-
struction of ship canal from Lake Washington
to salt water. This Improvement, although
local in its confines, will entail an expenditure
of money properly chargeable to improved and
general harborage for the commerce OF the
Northwest. Every farmer and every merchant
will recognize the benefits to be derived by the
people of this state from the establishment OF
harborage facilities which will surpass
those of the port Of New York. The es-
Enlistment of rival arteries of traffic
entry will naturally reduce the cost
OF transporting our products and will add
millions of taxable property to our tax list.
While all this IL being done, not . cent is taken
away from the appropriation for the opening of
the Columbia river. The farmers and merchants
OF Eastern Washington need both of these i'm
provements. and every dollar appropriated for
either project adds that much to the advance
ment of the commerce of the state and gives
that much more money to our laboring men.
The upbuilding1 of this state by constructing
harbOrs, opening Its rivers to the sea and erect
ing public buildings should be the pride of its
every voter, but Is all these improvements can
not be secured at once we should heartily in.

Washington canal, so much desired BY the citi-
Gems of Seattle, We may expect opposition from
the citizens of King county when we ask for
additional moneys to open the Columbia river
or an appropriation for q public building
in Spokane. Can the people of this
state afford to sacrifice these much
needed national improvements, and by
so doing engender q sectional hatred which will
last for years7 The high office of senator of the
United States should not be sought through the
aid of misguided sectional prejudice, which in
itself bespeaks Reorganization and consequent

LITTLE HOMER's SLATE.

After dear old grandms died,
Hunting through an oaken chest
In the attic We espied
What repaid our childish quest:
Twas Q homely little slate,
eeemingly of ancient date.
On its quaint and battered face
Was the picture of q cart
Drawn with all that awkward graoo
Which betokens childish art;
But what meant this legend, pray:
Homer drew this yesterday"
Mother recollected then
What the years were fain to hide
She was but baby when
Little Homer lived and died:
Forty years, so mother said,
Little Homer had been dead.
This one secret through these years
Grandma kept from all apart,
Hall owed by her lonely tears
And the breaking of her heart:
While each year that sped away
Seemed to her but yesterday.
30 the homely little slate
Grandma's baby's fingers pressed.
10 memory consecrate,
Lleth In the oaken chest,
where, unwilling we should know.
Grandma put it, years ago.

D. Shortridge, president of the North
Dakota Farmers Alliance, and Andrew
Stotter visited the East end yesterday
and inspected the site of the Daisy mill.
They were taken along the bay front
and given an idea of the adaptability of
the location to the needs of the proposed
North Dakota and Superior elevator.
Later they had a conference with Gen
eral Manager F. b. Clark, of the Con-
solidated Land company, i'm regard to
tie details of the elevator project. AT
the present stage of the proceedings it
is Impossible to arrive at anything
definite in relation to the matter,

the Incorporation of the elevator COM

Creditors will Fare Poorly in

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. Sit is stated
That the creditors Of 3. K. Jamison, who
failed about year ago, are not likely
to realize from the estate what they x
pected. The trustee states that the liza
bilities amount to $1,000 and that the
assets that have so far come into his
possession amout to $4,000. He thinks
the estate will pay dividend of 80 per
cent.
The assignee of H. j. Hoyt the Chi
cora, Pa, banker, has filed his report
of the appraisement. The total assets
are S1O.226. OF this amount about
$4,000 are doubtful overdrafts. The
liabilities are not known. but good au-
thority says they will be about sos, 900.
At present it would seem that the
creditors will receive over Is or 20 per
cent. Oil and coal speculation were i'm
portaht features in causing the failure.

Stops the Case.
CLEVELAND. o., Feb. 5.-The Over
man court martial has at last begun in
earnest. The court, upou opening this
morning, overruled the objections to the
specifications under the charges, decid-
ing against the claim of the defense
that the document was not properly
drawn, and that the money alleged to
have been embeZzled was for river and
harbor Improvements and not for mill
tary purposes. There are two charges
-embezZlement, and conduct unbecom-
ing an officer-and the defense would
have been satisfied to quash the first
and stand trial on the second, the
possible penalty of imprisonment
being thus eliminated Mai. Overman
was asked to plead to the charges. after
the decision this morning. He refused
to plead to the charge of embeZZlement,
and pleaded not guilty to that of I'M
becoming conduct. The court then en-
tered plea of not guilty to the charges
of embeZzlement. according to pro-
vision of the articles of war which pro-
vides for such eases. The judge advo-
cate proceeded with the trial, and took
up the specifications, which involved
S234.50, said to have been paid to Carkin,
Stickney & Cram, contractors. The
prosecution offered a letter in evidence
This was rejected by the court, and the
defense scored its first victory The
judge advocate then announced his in
ability to proceed, and an adjournment
followed
