CHARLES vOOaBExY SPEECH.

The speech made by Charles VOORHEES,
on Saturday night may be considered an
excellent example of the expositions OF
Democratic doctrine. lie ma ie the very
best possible use Of such arguments as the
Democratic party relics upon To aid il in
securing control of the government. The
Republicans need no better test for the
Campaign than he gave them: and the
hundreds of Republicans who listened to
him with patience. courtesy and attention
can now do soma thinking on their own
account.

CHARGES wBICE HAVE BEEN
PROVED.

The Seattle Telegraph devotes . large
portion Of its editorial space TO discus
sion of alleged attacks which have been
made upon it and upon its owners. The
Posr-IsTgLLIGEScFRis not aware OF any
attacks which have been made upon those
who profess to own the Telegraph. And
the attacks on the Telegraph itself, so far
as the Posr-IyTELLrsEscER is concerned,
have been confined 10 charging that it re-
ceived $500 from Tacoma as compensa-
ton for its advocacy of the state Demo-
cratic ticket. and that it published bogus
list of alleged subscriptions in aid OF its
absurd project for building the Lake
Washington canal by public subscription.
The frs. charge the Telegraph practically
admitted; that is to say, it confessed that
il received the 81 500 Is charged. But for
euphony 1t calls the money thus advanced
aloan. Of COURSE it may be loan, but it

with its change of opinion in regard to the
duty Of King county Democrats at the
coming election.
As to the second charge. that the Tele-
sroph published the list Of bogus subscrip-
tions. its truth was promptly admitted by
that paper. which made a. weak an apol.
ogy {, the public as one could imagine.
Such have been the attacks made upon
the Telegraph. and both Of the charges
made have been proved to the satisfaction
OF the Telegraph itself. 1t is not tho
charges which hurt our contemporary. 1t
10 the fact that they have been proved.

WHAT OUR ATTITUDE WOULD BE.

A Fairhaven correspondent OF the Ia
coma Ledger asks: what would be. the
attitude OF Seattle and King county ~ers
the citizens of Everett. and Port Garaner
and Suohomish county to ask the people
of the state OF Washington to petition our
national congress for an appropriatioa to
cut q canal through WILDLY islans in
order to bring those cities nearer to the
ocean?'
There is little use in asking such ozies-
ton. The past attitude of the people Of
King county toward all public improve
ments within the state affords an answer
stronger than could be expressed in words.
II the people of Snohomish county daem
such a canal to be desirable, their Efforts
to obtain it would certainly meet vita no
opposition from the people Of King cornty.
King county has never placed itse5f in
an attitude of opposition to any proposed
public improvement in this state. On the
contrary, its people have always eeen
willing to render assistance to the people
of any other county in any effort 10 SECURE
legislation which they particularly de-
sired. The influence of King county fgas
exersed in favor of the opening of the
Puyallup Indian reservation and. of
the Colville Indian reservation. The
commercial bodies of this city have
repeatedly memorialized congress in
behalf of various river and hasbor
Improvements in different parts of the
state. And our citizens have certainly
never though. ofoffering opposition TO any
project which promised to be Of advantage
to any portion of the state.
II the Falrhaven correspondent rho
propounds this question were famg.iar
with the history of this state he would not
ask 1t. King county is part of the STATE
of Washington, and it always stands by
the other counties of the state.

Took . Wounded Deer by the Horne

Last week Mr.. Matt WsSaukari shot al I'm.
mense buck near Tom Thompsons place. He
dropped his gun and approached the deer when
1t showed signs Of being quite lively. He seized
ii By its immense horns, when is jumped up
and fought him yiciously. He was alternately
under and on top OF the deer, holding on 10 its
antlers ike grim death. The fight was getting
unpleasant and the hunter was becoming ba lily
bruised up. Like Ponp with his hold on the
bears tail, Wasaukari wished tor somebody 10
helm him let 60. Finally, after hurting him
violently TO one side, the buck disappeared.
The following day the three Wassuks-i brothers
resumed the hunt and. after several tfuitless
efforts, they secured the troublesome buck,
which was so heavy that it took two strong men
10 carry the carcass. The aatlsrs were un-
usually handsome,

WOOL AND THE TARIFF.

The Democratic party at the last session
of congress proposed free wool bill, and
claimed that it wouldaeneft the farmer
and wool grower. In 1853, when Repub-
ican congress passed a tariff somewhat
reducing the tariff on wool, the Demo-
cratic committee in Ohio circulated
pamphlet denouncing the Republican
president. tariff commission and congress
for 'wickedly and wantonly reducing the
duty on wool go as to enable foreign pro-
ducers to compete advantageously with
native growers" This Democratic cam.
paign pamphlet claimed that this reduc-
ton of the duty on wool would inevitably
be followed by the abandonment of sheep
raising. On January g, 1884, the Demo-
cratic legislature Of Ohio passed q resolu-
ton, from which we make the following
extract:
WHgsEss, The said reduction on imported
wool discrminates against the wool growers OF
the Vest, in favor OF tie manufacturers OF the
East, thereby compelling the wool growers Of
the West 20 compsts with heap wool of icre.gn
countries 20 their very great injury: and,
WnSEEAs That tsrif was reasonable and not
too high before the reduction, and stands now
a. tate so low TO ia 1rana-.~ af2cs rha, large
and respectable Class OF ,Sls who have d.
voted themselves 70 wool growing;
Resotted, By the generally .enaby OF the state
o. QUO, that our senators in congress Re and
are hereby instructed. and or representatives
requested. 20 use al honorable means and vote
FOR the bill TO restore tine tariff on WOOL as 10
stood prior 20 the recent red uct.o1 and that the
governor be re iuasted 10 send q copy of this
resolution 10 our s~aatoEs and representatives at
Washington City.
And yet the Democrats at Chicago had
the cheek 10 declare that 1t was "a funds-
mental principle of the Democratic party,
that the Federal government has no con-
stitutional power TO impose and collect
tariff duties except for the purpose of
revenue only"
Today the United States produces more
WOO! than any other country except
Australia and possibly the Argentine Re-
public. The following table shows what
protection has done to bring about this
advantageous state of affairs:
