The Republican party must gather Itself to-
gether and begi n now to prepare for the contest
Of 1895. The next four years in congress will be
given largely to fencing for positions OF advan-
rage on ali the issues which are to become the
pivotal questions in the next campaign. To do
this successfully, the party must make its sword
arm of the very best leaders In its
organization. 1t must not turn aside
from tried and skiIlful men who have
won in iitee work and in debate
respect Tor their faithful, painstaking labor and
a high regard for their force on the floor OF both
branches OF the national Legislature. should
Judge Turner-no matter what his abiiity-be
elected to the senate he must, on taking his
seat, observe that year of silence which the
rules of that august body impose on all new
members: and then, because a man has sue
ceeded at the bar, it in nowise argues
his fitness for the public service. A long
line of instances. beginning with Erskine
and coming to the presen: day, might be
arrayed in contradiction OF the iallacy. We
hope that when the legislature of Washington
discharges the important duty OF naming a
senator. ii will, in its wisdom, select one known
to be competent to ably represent us, and not
one who might turn out so. The times-to
those who love our party and pray for its res
toration to power-aret too critical to take such
chances in order that a dissatisfied set of indi-
viduals may crafty petty personal revenge. Let
the man be John b. Allen.

when this wholesome rule is violated a

les that, when they discover they cannot

i1isly unwise; they establish a precedent

poets OF wise and high-m:nded legislation.

not be effective if the minority proceeds

The c~urabjlitv of the inebriate is no,

The durability of the inebriate is not
despaired Of at all by DR.. Cyrus O. Edison,
OF New York city, who once said:
The durability OF the inebriare is far more
certain than the insane. The liberty of both Is
equally dangerous; one is recognized: the other
is seldom restrained until he becomes Il GRIM
ifal. The moment a man becomes a drunkard
he forfeits all rights to liberty auo becomes a
ward of the state, and should be controlled by
It 1t is dense ignorance that permits any one TO
destroy his life and property by drink on the
snpposition that he is q tree moral agent. The
inebriate is mentally and physically sick, and
needs the same help as the insane; and the
question OF cure IS simply one OF adequate
means and remedies to reach the disease.

THE PASSING THROSG.

J. A Lewis. Of Chicago. Is q guest at the Ar
lington. He is secretary of the Trahern Pump
Company, o! Rockford, ILL.,, eighty-four miles
from Chicago. "seattle is a fine city and you
have quite a number of manufactures. but
when l read OF far Western cities becoming
great manufacturing centers it makes ne smile.
Commerce must precede manufacturing. Be-
fore manufactures can be run at q profit
markets for their products must exist. The
building OF 8 city depends not only on the de-
se.opment of the city itself, bat on the develop
ment of the surrounding country and the OBJ
tanning OF superior commercial facilities. Now,
the history OF the upbui ding OF our town of
Rockford proves this. Until We had the same
commercial facilities as Chicago we had no
chance to become q great manufacturing city,
but now we are to all intents and purposes a
suburb OF Chicago, and within the last dozen
years over ISJ different manufacturing institu-
tons have located there, thirty OF which are
furniture factories, until now her output in that
line is exceeded only by that OF Chicago and
Grand Rapids, Mich. While we have so many
factories we only have 5000 population. The
reason for this Is that Chicago does the business
Tor our town."

Thomas ". Gordon. is negotiable upon
any other basis than that h believes thss
he has an absolute and inifeasible rigns
10 the Office, and that ths action oil Nj.
Gordon is the result Of a dep-seated cen
spiracy Of implacabIe enemies to rob him
of one of his natural rights. Indeed, thu
has practically been Mr.. Spencer's att;-
:nde ever since he was DEBATED for renom'
ination II the Republieaa convention by
Mr. Gordon. From the cay that the he
publicans of King county refused to give
him another nomination for the Office.
Mr.. Spencer opposed TIE election of Mr..
Gordon with all his might. He urged his
friends TO vote for Mr.. Burns, the Demo
cratic candidate. When he was re.
monstrated with BY Republicans for
his ingratitude 10 the party which
had made him county clerk, and with
a violation of the understanding By which
al contestants for nomination in q con-
vention are TO support ioysiiy the ticket
which may be chosen. he declared that he
had no interest in the Republican party
and felt under no oblIgato on to it. After
this he had one Of his chrks present tc
attorneys visiting the CLERKS Office a peti.
tion addressed to himself urging him &c
run as an independent candidate.
After the people of King county had de-
clared by their votes that they wanted Mr.
Gordon for county clerk, Mr.. Spence,
made the claim that he had a right tt
hold the Office until March. Since the de
cision of the supreme court in the Nc
Murry-Holiis case he has shifted his posi-
