The SpOkaue Election.

The result Of the Spokane election is
something Of a surprise. 1t had seemed
probable that the Republican candidate
for mayor would be successful, but the
Populists elected the Mayor by ma.
jority exceeding that which he received
two years ago.
The canvass was complicated one. A
citizens movement was organized, which
was soon captured by the A. P. A., and
the ticket put up was distinctly an A. P.
A. ticket. 1t was the program Of the
secret organization to capture the Repub.
lican convention and indorse the Citizens
ticket but this failed, and, instead, he
Republicans antagonized the A. p. A.
The populists administration had not
been good one. One Of the members
Of the Populist Central Committee re-
signed his position, giving as reason
that he could mo longer act with party
SO completely controlled by corruption"
that "the party is in the hands Of the
most INSCRIPTIONS set Of scoundrels that
ever controlled any party" The Tribune,
radical "reform" paper, also deserted
the ticket because Of it's alleged corrupt
character.
A leading factor in the contest was the
question OF permitting variety dives.
The Council had passed an ordinance
prohibiting them, but Mayor Belt, after
favoring such action, vetoed the ordi.

Is the United States In II?

The waters washing the western shores
of the United States are at the present
time bearing across their expanse the
fleets of peace laden with the rich pro.
ducts of two continents, one of which is
famed in story as the best sailor Of the
civilized world. Yet the anomaly is
presented that the fleet is that of q third
continent.
The fortunes OF war have thrown down
the hitherto impregnable wall that stood
between western production and eastern
consumption, so that now the wares oil
Americas factories can find ready market
in the homes Of Asia. This fact means
much. 1t means increased employment
to the artisan Of our country, and with
the increased labor comes better times
the employment Of greater numbers and
the continuance of their occupation.
Plenty to countless homes that now know
only scantiness, provided we are wise.
A potent factor, however, must not be
lost sight Of. The country owning the
vessels which carry the trade will con-
troll the production OF the wares. If
England does the carrying trade, then
English goods will go to China-and
this to the exclusion, virtually, Of Amer.
lean goods.
The Fortnightly Price Current, pub.
lished at Hong Kong, in its issue of
March 9th last, gives q list of vessels
arriving and departing at the port Of
Hong Kong from March ~ to March p.
The list shows total Of Al vessels, all
steamers but one. OF them, 25 were
British, IA were German, three French,
three Norwegian, one Siamese, and the
lonely sailing vessel was bark flying
the American flag!
The Chinese ports are opening. What
nation will establish her supremacy in
carrying the cargoes? If the United
States expects to have any fair share in
the Asiatic trade is it not about time
that move was begun to place Amer
cans ship upon the American Ocean. p

The County Printing,

The commissioners let the county
printing last week to the Vidette at the
rate of IL cents per inch each insertion.
In some respects this was the lowest
bid. but as far as the actual expense to
the county is concerned it was not, by
considerab BILE. The HERALD offered to do
the work for one cent per inch, provided
that for all advertising which the county
charged the cost Of to others thereby re-.
imbursing itself, the tax should be twenty
cents. This OF course would include the
tax list which costs more than other
advertising, and should therefore pay
more; the county should not be required
to pay more for its printing in order to
make up this extra cost, but should let
the delinquent pay it who necessitates
it's publication.
But laying aside this feature. it is not
positive that the aggregate expense under
the Vidette's bid will be less than under
the HERALD's, but it is positive that for
all advertising which the county actually
pays for it will pay twelve times more
than If the HERALD's bid had been &C.
cepted. The commissioners were doubt
less influenced in their decision through
sympathy for the delinquent tax payers
rather than a paternal interest in the
ring organ.

Official Paper CT the City of Aberdeen.
THE ESPRIT DU CORPS OF ABB
ERDEEN.

There are always some chronic grumb-
lers who continually kick about the place
that is burdened with their presence.
Such people deserve transportation to
some "Crusoe island, there to be allowed
to kick--themselves. Such gentry have
no excuse for their tresome mouthinss
in our fair city.
The long, strong, altogether pull which
eventuated in bringing the iron-horse
snorting through our streets is splendid
sample of what can be done by COM
munity pulling together, even though
envroned by the most adverse conditions.
The raising Of the subsidy that gives us
in addition to what we already had, the
splendid new plant for the manufacture
OF lumber, is another evidence of the good
sense and sublime courage of our people.
With the natural advantages and helpful
environment OF Aberdeen she ought to
number five thousand inhabitants by the
end OF another year.
In order that this wished for result
shall materialize, We who desire the wei
fare of this place should lend every en-
ergy to see that it be made the most at
tractive place on Grays harbor. We do
not mean by this so much beauty Of stu
alton, for we are we'll off in this particu-
lar; nor subsidies for enterprises, or free
factory sites; our capitalists stand ready,
as their record affirms, to do their full
duty in this regard. But we must make
our society and conduct such as will APP
pear most like and the least departure
from the fairies. eastern he mes from which
the bulk Of this increase comes, if it does
come. Emigration does not come from
cities where the home life and manner
isms have been polluted by un-American-
isms, but from the more rural districts !;
and it is fact past question that the
places whose conduct is most in conform
ity with that which they have left behind
spirit then that would do anything short
OF breaking the law, or even infringe it, if
allowed, for personal pleasure, or selfish
gain, is one that will in the end initiate
against the city.
The citizens of Aberdeen will have some
splendid opportunities for favorably i'm
pressing people OF influence in the near
future. An association of the Baptist
church, with representatives from all over
the Puget sound region, will convene in
our city next month; the Congregational
club will also be here little later; these
are people OF influence, with friends
among the best families from whence
immigration comes. The Bitter meetings
mighty force for the good Of our city il
rightly supported.

Of such shows, including, presumably,
the secret approval and votes Of Repub.

gauge municipal morality according to
the amount of money it may bring to or

there are many such in every city is well
known. A week ago a petition was pre-.

signed by forty-two men in business,
asking that variety dives be licensed
here.
The Democrats put no ticket in the
field, and the Democratic vote seems to
have been divided among the three
aspirants to the mayoralty.
The results were that Populism won a

rather a victory for the licensing Of

defeated, being third in the race. Mr..

AGAIN THE INDEMNITY LANDS.

The commissioner of the land depart
ment at Washington has refused the
applications of those who filed on the
indemnity lands in Chehalis county last
fall and winter, which lands had been
held for cancellation upon the completion
OF the application OF the original filings
made in 1885, the commissioner holding
that the selections by the Northern
Pacific were intact except as to these
preferred fers. The usual time is given
in which to appeal to the secretary of
the interior.
This ruling OF the commissioner is in
direct opposition to a large line OF de-
cisions which have Uniformly held that
where a selection was not properly made
by railroad, it could not 80 back and
correct it's selection in the face OF an adj
verse claim, but that the right of selec-
ton devolved upon the next legal APP
plicant, providing the original filler failed
to complete his entry and make final
proof. 1t has been uniformly held, no
later than March i, 1895, in the Watson
case, that the attempted Withdrawals of
these lands at that time were illegal, and
under the rulings referred to we do not
see how they could be legalized while
tie contest was pending, and the decision
in favor OF the original flers would here
fore seem to cause the lands to revert to
the government, in case OF their failure
to complete their entity. Should no ad-
verse claim have arisen the company
could then step in and make proper
selection.
The commissioners may have ruled
upon the peculiar wording OF the secretary
that upon completion OF entry by the
original filler the selection OF the Northern
Pacific will be cancelled" An appeal
is being prepared in these rejected cases
and we do not see how the secretary can
do other than override this decision Of
the commissioner. One thing is certain,
however, the Northern Pacific will con-
test every case, and the only way for the
settlers to get these lands is to combine
and appeal TO the secretary. Otherwise
patent is very liable to issue to the com.
pany.

Royalty SURPRISED.

One Of the happiest events Of the season
was the surprise and welcome given
agent A. c. Clark and family, Saturday
evening, the 18th inst, by the Aberdeen
Baptist society and friends. At 8 p. m.
the front door gong was given most
furious pull which answered very we'll
to awaken the whole house and indicated
something uncommon at hand which
possessed spirit. What q concourse Of
happy faces greeted Mr.. Clark as the
front door swung open. For a block
away could be seen their old tried friends
grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers,
mothers little boys and girls young men
with fair young ladies all ladened with
good things to refresh the inner man.
The house was placed at their disposal.
Fortunately it was commodious enough
to accommodate all, however not until
A. c. Clark had hustled around pretty
lively to find chairs and boxes enough to
seat all comfortably. When all were
seated gong, yank gong went the tell
again. Mrs. Clark said "well we'll did
you ever ?"-and Mr.. Clark met them at
the door with the question-'have you
brought chair" But the bell was to
ring third time before all the friends
had arrived by which time their number
was near 60. Friendly talk and lively
games were INDUCED in, sandwiched with
the elegant lunch furnished by the ladies'.
Unfortunately Mr.. and Mrs. Clark were
not as we'll as usual. Mr.. Clark suffering
from Lagrippe. 1t is reported that the
surprise has had most surprising effect,
better than medicine in curing this
usually obstinate affection. Mr.. and

to be in better physical condition so as
to better entertain such royal gather
