freight train is one of the improvements
in the shipping line to be noticed here.
Il was made necessary by the increasing
demand for better facilities for Eastern
lumber shipments. From ten to twenty
car loads OF lumber and shingles are going
out Of this county each day. and arrange
ments are under way which will naturally
increase these shipments. The outlook
for lumber business seems considerably
better than for some time past.
Republican clubs are being formed all
over the county, and the intense interest
manifested by members Of that party
promises en- enthusiastic campaign on
their part The Prohibitionists are also
organizing clubs wherever possible, not
with any hopes of electing any candidates.

them are commencing to realize that their
action is really in favor of the anarchists,
and say they will vote the Republican
ticket until Populism Is dead.

settlers are taking every precaution to

An ex-aueen Wants pamaees.

A San Francisco dispatch states that
an agent Of the ex-queen of Hawaii has
arrived in that city on his way TO Wash
ington. his purpose being to bring dam
age suit against the United States for
500. 900 for her benefit. She has evil
IDENTIFY made up her mind that there is no
probability of a restoration of the mon
archy. and that if she can make anything
out of this country now is the time to do
it, II is understood that the basis of her
claim is the alleged support given the
revolutiouists in Hawaii by United States
Minister Stevens, and the captain Of the
American cruiser Boston.
If such suit should be brought the
question as to whether Minister Stevens
did aid in the overthrow of the queen
would be pretty thoroughly tested. He
has always contended that he took no
part whatever in the revolution. On the
other hand, it is stoutly asserted by
the friends of the ex-queen that
he did, and that if it had not been
for the moral support he gave the revo-
lutionists the government of Hawaii
would still be a monarchy and the ex-
queen Woulu De on the throne
The question that would be presented
by the suit is an interesting one, and
would become much more interesting if all
the phases of it should be presented in a
sharply contested trial 1t is pretty GER
tain, however, that it will be very long
time before the ex-queen gets 5000, 900, or
any other sum, in payment for the loss of
IoYs -. i
sanction the payment to her of anything
for her loss, and as long as the weight of
public sentiment is on that side the treas
ury will not be relieved Of any of its cash
for the benefit of the ex-queen.

Rest From Tariff Agitation.

In his speech at the opening of the
democratic convention of New York, on
| Tuesday Senator Hill said that while
the Wilson bill does not embody the full
measure of tariff reform which many
democratic leaders desired, and the coun-
try anticipated it is a safe, moderate and
reasonable tariff. He said further that
the country should understand that "any
general or extensive tariff revision is not
contemplated by the Democratic party
now, or in the near future" He init
mated, however, that. in his opinion,
there might be some further tariff legis-
lation, in the shape of separate bills, in
order to carry out whatever other tar
iff pledges there are in the national dem
| ocratic platform.
The republican press has insisted, and
still insists, that it is the purpose of the
Democratic party to continue reducing
the tariff until free tradeis practically
| reached. Senator Hill voted against the
Wilson bill because he objected to the in
come tax feature of it, and, also because
it is not radical enough to suit him in the
direction of free raw materials. He is.
| therefore, well qualified to speak
Of the purpose of the party in respect to
the tariff. His announcement that there
is no intention to make further revision
| of the tariff at present or in the near flu
ture ought to have a quieting effect upon
! those who think that business of all kinds
is injured by tariff agitation
A fair trial will be given the Wilson
bill. If its effects are satisfactory other
changes will be made in the direction of
free raw materials and freer trade. But
it is probable that the sugar schedule
will receive attention soon after congress
! meets in December. There is very gen.
eral dissatisfaction with it, There is a
belief that the sugar trust gets too much
protection. There is also pretty strong
desire in the west to put sugar on the free
! list. In view of the fact, however, that
the revenue from raw sugar is needed,
there is not much probability that the
| sugar duty will be removed But the
duty on refined sugar will likely be abol-
ished. The sugar trust can refine sugar
as cheaply as it can be refined in any
other part of the world and there is,
therefore, no good reason why it should
| be given protection to the amount of
| millions of dollars a year.
The readjustment of the sugar seized
ule, however, will not affect business gen
orally. The business world is steadily
adjusting itself to the new conditions, and
the prosperity of the country is steadily
| increasing.

Hill the Nominee.

Senator Hill will lead the democrats OF
New York this fall, and he viii lead
them TO victory. His nomination creates
intense enthusiasm throughout the state
Under his leadership the democratic
ticket will poll larger vote than it would
have poled under the leadership Of any
other man. The factions will forget their
differences, and personal animosities Will
disappear in the enthusiasm with which
the campaign will be conducted.
The ticket is a strong one. Senator
| Hill, for governor, represents the Hill
| faction Hon. Daniel Lockwood, for lieu
! tenant governor, represents the Cleve-
land democrats, and Judge Gaynor, for
Judge of the court of appeals, represents
the reform element of the party. The
ticket is skilfully constructed.
Senator Hill is confident Of being
elected. He would not have accepted the
nomination if he had not been satisfied
that he would have the hearty support of
about every democrat of the state. With
a support of that kind he can hardly be
defeated.
The party wanted Senator Hill as its
candidate because it believed that with
him its success was sure, and there are
some grounds for thinking that he wanted
the nomination. No doubt he regards il
as almost certain that he Will be the
presidential candidate of his party in
1896 if he succeeds in gaining the governor
ship. Success in New York under exist
ing circumstances would direct the atteu-
ton of democrats in all parts of the coun-
try to him as an available presidential
candidate.
His nomination gives the gubernatorial
contest in New York national importance.
There is no doubt that Mr. Morton. the
republican candidate, accepted the nomi-
nation with the view Of being the next
presidential candidate of his party. Sen
ator Hill accepted the nomination, there
is good reason to believe, with the
same view The one that is elected
will stand pretty fair chance
of having his ambition gratifed Each
party, therefore, will put forth its whole
strength. The contest will be a notable
one. The whole country will be pro-
foundly interested in it.
Senator Hill is not popular in the Sen
ate. 1t is not believed that he is satisfied
there. The position offers him no oppor-
tunity for paving the way to the presi-
dencY. He likes the life of an active pol
itician. 1t will be with no regret, there
fore, that he enters again actively into
state politics, having the presidency as
his goal
