REPUBLICANS WIN EVERYWHERE

At the time we go to press it
looks as though the republicans had
carried everything, including New
York, Illinois, Delaware, Vermont.
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Iowa
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire
Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota
Indiana, Wyoming, and nearly all
of the other doubtful states.
Even in the South the Democrats
have lost severely.
Colorado will doubtless elect
Waite (pop) for governor; in Kan
sas it looks as though the republican
candidate for governor is elected.
In Illinois the Populists have
gained greatly.
1t looks as though the whole
country had arraigned the Demo
cratic and Populist parties for the
hard times we have been enduring
for the past two or three years.
Does it mean the perpetuation OF
the Republican party in power, or.
will the party's inability to relieve
the financial depression result in
its arraignment and defeat in 1896?

Desirable Quality in Horses.

''Ihe thing that ought to be looked to
in horse is his foot. For as /. house
would be Of no use. though all the upper
parts Of it were beautiful, if the lower
parts Of it had no foundation, SO "a horse
would be of no use in work if he had
tender feet. even though he should have
all other good qualities, for his qualities
could not be made of any available use "
The Texas Live Stock Journal expresses
the foregoing opinion and says that the
craze for heavy draft horses for farm
work is dying out. Farmers are learn
ing that they are not SO desirable as &C
tive, fast walking horses OF medium size.
A three horse team of quick stepping.
active, medium sized horses will do
much more work and give much better
satisfaction on the farm than team of
two Of the great unwieldy animals. For
heavy loads on the roads the large ami
mails are probably best. and for this rea-
son there is a steady demand for them at
good prices in the cities and wherever
heavy hauling is to be done

The entire Republican county
ticket WAS elected last Tuesday.
Although the islander opposed
this ticket with all of the ardor OF
an enthusiastic populist, we Will Go
lust what anybody else would DO,
accent the inevitable, and submit
to the mandate of the electors OF
our county. AS to the men elected
to fill our county offices we have
never opposed them from person
al standp ,int and believe as we
have said before that everyone OF
them are gentlemen and capable OF
performing the duties of the Offices
to which they have been elected.
As to Mr.. Murray we opposed HIM
because of his political faith, aud
because we did not think him a
representative man of our county
but let us hope that the voters of
our county were not misguided in
the confidence which they placed
in Mr.. Murray's integrity when
thew elected him to represent San
Juan county in our state legislature
Anything we may say in regard to
him in future will be from an Off
cial and not a personal standpoint.

Acer Negundo variegatum. The very

from the genus Acer. and to be better
known than it is under the name of Ne

some books as short lived tree" which
may have tended somewhat to prevent
Its being so frequently planted as it de-
serves to be. The color OF its foliage is
OF such an unusual apple green that it
forms most pleasing contrast to that
OF other trees. Books and lists agree in
stating its height to range between
twenty feet and forty feet.

A SURE ROUTE TO SEATTLE.

The only sure way of reaching Seattle
the same day of starting is to travel on
the mail steamer, Lydia Thompson.
By this route there is no transferring
and missing the other boat at Anacor-
tes." Returning you can leave Seattle
in the morning by the Thompson, and
reach Friday Harbor in time for dinner.
The Thompson is the most comfortable
passenger boat that ever was run on the
Friday Harbor and Seattle route. You
will avoid disappointments and the
vexations, trials and tribulations incl
dent to transfers, by travelling and
shipping by the Thompson. Passengers
may leave Friday Harbor by this route
at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon and reach
Seattle by $50 O'Clock the same evening.
The Best and safest is always the
cheapest.

Origin OF the Diamond.

As usual upon disputed points,
speculation has been busy about the
origin OF the diamond, aud large
number Of theories. all more or less
probable, have been propounded to
set the matter at rest The two
most reasonable expositions are, per-
haps, the explanations put forward
by NJ. Par. OF and Baron Liebig The
former scientist who has labOriously
investigated the perplexing subject
is of the opinion that the diamond
arises from the operation OF violent
volcanic heat on small particles OF
carbon contained In the rock, or on a
substance composed Of large pro-
portion Of carbon and smaller guam
tity OF hydrogen. By this theory, as
he conceives. we are best able to &C
count for the cracks and flaws so
often noticed In the gem. and the
frequent occurrence of included ear.
tlcles OF black ,arbonaceous matter.
Baron Liebig. on the other hand,
claims the credit Of offering q simple
explanation OF the probable process
which stually takes place 10 the for
nation Of the diamond. His con.
tention IL that scien e can point to
no pro ess capable Of accounting for
the origin and production of dia.
monds except the powers Of decay.
II We suppose decay to proc ed In q
liquid containing carbon aud HYDRO
geu. then a compound with still more
carbon must he formed; aud II the
compound thus formed were itself to
undergo further decay. the tinal re.
suit, says this eminent authority,
must be the separation OF carbon in
crystalline form. m.-Gcntleman's
