Beautiful Testimonials.

Ex-Gov. Newell has secured four sets
of exceedingly fine elk antlers, which
he has boxed for shipment to the Ex-
ecutive of New Jersey, in recognition
of the compliment paid him by a res
olution of the State Legislature at its
last session, reciting his services in
promoting the U. S. Life-Saving Ser
vice.
One set of the antlers is designed for
the Senate Chamber, one for the AS
sembly Hall, one for the Executive
Office, and the other personal present
to Gov. Griggs.
The following letter accompanies
the testimonials;
OLYMPIA, WASH, Dec. 3, 1896.

DEAR SIR-I beg leave to forward to
your care four sets of elk antlers, three
of which desire to present to the State

founding the U. S. System Of Saving Life
and Property from Shipwreck, when l
was Representative in Congress in the
year 1913.
If agreeable desire that they may be
placed: One in the Executive Chamber,

Grafton for the complimentary and hand

proportions will convey suitable idea
OF the vast extent of its domains, its
specific productions and resources.
have the honor to be,
Respectfully,
WIN. A. NEWELL.

A PRIZE-FIGHT THAT DECIDED
NoTHING.-The daily papers are filled
with the details of the prize-tight be-
tween Tom Sharkey and Bob Fitz-
simmons, which took place in the
Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco,
Wednesday night. The fight lasted
eight rounds in which Tom Sharkey
was terribly punished, but declared
the victor ON account of foul by his
opponent, who it seems struck him in
the groin with his knee while falling.
1t is said that 10000 people were ex-
cited spectators of the mill, and
among them, for the first time in the
history of pugilism, several hundred
women, some of them grey-haired
matrons, witnessed the brutal pro-
ceeding. Nothing has been settled
by the fight, as Fits friends claim
that he was the victor, notwithstand-
ing the decision of the referee, Wyatt
carp, who is considered an authority
in sporting circles.

"A New and Better Mission

The New York Evening Post finds
that 'the foreign vote' has been
slandered.
In the States carried by Bryan "the
ignorant foreign vote" comprises an
average of II per cent. of the popula-
ton ; in those by Mckinley the average
is 81 per cent.
Yet sound money was saved to the
country by the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
called "aangerous foreign vote"
On the other hand, wherever the
native American population predomi-
mates there free coinage was the
craziest"
These facts give rise to the question
whether there is any real ground for
the fears upon which several proscrip-
tive orders substitute American
Protective Association, etc.
Would they not be in better business
educating some of our native born
"ignoromiT' up to the simplest precepts
of plain, everyday honesty?

BreVitIeS.

Either as an individual or paper
the JOURNAL is not one of those who
lost any precious time auditing the
claims of Watson rs. Sewall. 1t was
clear all the time that Watson was
cheated by people who mistakenly re-
garded his platform as better than
himself.
The "ignorant foreign vote" which
scored the sound money triumph also
left the A. p. A. hero, Linton, severely
at home.
The Easton Ledger publishes a long
list of deprecatory, consoling and
otherwise lugubrious reflections by
"the county press upon the result.
But if ever there was a contest in
which 1.-THE county press" worked so
hard with so little effect the JOURNAL
does not remember it. The little
organs should find out soon that service
of the politicians is betrayal of the
interests of the people.

Unapprcciaied Veracity.

Tie following depression from the
regular proceedings took place at the
last meeting of the Homecoming coun-
ell, as related by the Star itself:
The Star as a person reminded the Mayor
and Council that he had been called liar at
last meeting of Council because he had said
in the Star that councilman Jarboe had voted
against the granting of the slaughter-house
permit, and offered Mr.. Jarboe's signed state
ment that he had done so.
Two other councimen, however,
had contradicted Mr.. Jarboe us well
rs the Star, and the Mayor decided, III
effect, that 3 against is not only a
plurality, but distinct majority.

Case i'm Point.

Just as the Keyser (W. Va Echo is
still mourning over the decline and
fall of the sporadic wool-grower the
North American Order of Uknighted
Nobility of Laborious Knighthood has
met in ANNUAL convention to make a
three weeks "demand upon Congress
to take the duty off wlndow-glass."
Under the ancestral auspices of Echo
economy the more light there was in a
house the more tariff there was placed
on it.
And it seems that the Noble Order
of Ancient North American Knight
hood of Labor still sees in "the duty
on window glass" tariff on illumina-
tion-a lineal economical descendant
of Middle Age barbarism which should
be abolished.
But the Echo cannot consistently SYM
pathize with a purpose so hnmane so
long as it holds to the yet more savage
notion that the warmth and health of
''the poor, whom we have always with
u.s." must be taxed for the benefit of
those who are relatively better off and
not "always with u.s.
If it could, we would then most will
ingly acknowledge that the Echo at
last stands on the high ground of
christian equity-that the wool grow
er's hand has no more highway right
IN the pockets of the poor than the
lass-maker's.

No SucIl Thing.

Hon. j. ID. Richardson, of Tennessee,
speaking of the future under Nc
kinley auspices, says:
do not believe there will be permanent
prosperity among the masses and those who
are producers.
The JOURNAL does not believe there
can be such condition as ''permcnent
prosperity" under any regime this side
of the millennium.
Consumption and production, the
motive forces of demand and supply,
like all mundane and ornamental
mutations, move in cycles.
All history is record of rise and
fall.
So forceful socialist is old Time
that Disraeli was once moved to say
that there were "only three genera.
tons between shirt sleeves and shirt
sleeves"
1t is to be doubted, therefore,
whether the stimulation of legislative
artifice, followed by inevitable reac-
ton, does not ultimately retard more
than it promotes "permanent pros
perity."
Hence, in every campaign "perma-
nent prosperity" is the happy plank in
all platforms whereon adherents of all
parties stand and build invisible
mansions,

This item is current:
William J. Bryan has written a letter to
DIR. M. s. Holt of Weston, w. Va, III which
he advises continuation of silver agitation,
and says it is bound to win.
In other words, Mr.. Bryan advises
continued discomfort and prophesies
that anarchy is sure to triumph.
j. S. CoXey does about the same
thing.
But if the Mckinley administration
will do as little governing" as possible
and "the money power exhibit its
omnipotence less conspicuously, both
Bryan and Coxey will soon meet Cor
man in the oblivious as well as "sweet
bye-and bye"

Caution.

People who talk of "the Mark
Hanna syndicate" should go slower.
Evidently they know nothing of the
free silver conspiracy-W j. Stone,
of Missouri John P. Altgeld, of
Illinois; Clark Howell, of Georgia j.
X. Jones, of Arkansas, and every
sllyer-mine owner a silent partner.
Altgeld was the ruling spirit, and to
his cunning, more than any other
sneaking quality, is due success
which threatened the direst disaster
that ever befell civilized people.
These men caught the country
asleep, and, without showing their
hands, the democracy was led captive
by them to Chicago at their villa
democracy of territory, won under pro-
scription and unit rule, rather than
old-time free will and sailors rights
majority democracy of the people.
The JOURNAL has no excuses to Of
fer for Mr.. Hanna, but he, like the
country, is probably wiser to-day than
he was a year ago. If he has the
power with which he is credited, he
will probably see to it, therefore, that
free coinage will have still less ex.
cuse for crusade four years hence
than now.
In which event he may not turn an
evil unmixed.

A Word for Mr.. GOmpcrs.

The Federation of Labor will meet
Dec. IA, and already there is move
ment to dethrone Samuel Gompers "be-
cause he did not come out flat-footed
for Bryan and free coinage"
Soon as they do that, good bye,
Federation
Politics is ''the spider in the dump
ling" of any professional labor organ
ization.
Indeed, politics is the bane of every
thing. 1t is the gamble which Office
seekers and office-holders indulge ;
which obscures the patriotism of the
mass and dwarfs the craftsmanship of
the elect which drags the tariff from
its true position as an economical
question only and makes it football
for whole lot of fanciful issues or
false pretenses which prostitutes the
pulpit, defiles religion, promotes in
tolerance and at last damns the men
who crawl to dubious eminence on its
slippery heights.
The JOURNAL hopes, therefore, that
those of Mr.. Gompers' friends who
hold in his behalf ''that the Federation
does not recognize politics and that he
was right in keeping his political ideas
to himself" will win
This with no paltiality for any
branch of professional labor, but be-
cause wisdom should be justified of

In memory of our sister, MARY T.. ARNOLD
who died Tuesday, November g. 1886, aged Ii
years, months and 3 days.
Peaceful be her silent slumber-
Peaceful in the grave so low
Thou no more shall join our number
Thou no more our songs will know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
We watched and waited by her,
Still hoping she would stay;
But the angel came and whispered
''Tll bear this gem away"
We laid her away to rest
Beneath the silent sod
Her victory's won-she's crowned at last
AT home with friends and God
Weep not for her, dear parents,
For she's now at rest
Awaiting for to meet you
With God among the blest.

Must Have Ii.

In pardoning several railroad riot
convicts president Cleveland Said the
other day:
am also convinced that the imprisonment
already suffered by these prisoners will be
ample warming to the thousands equally
guilty, though UNPUBLISHED, and to those who
may be hereafter tempted that the laws
enacted to secure peace and order must he
obeyed.
1t ought to be remembered that Mr..
Cleveland is not alone in reminding
"those who may be hereafter tempted
that the laws enacted 10 secure peace
and order must be obeyed," but Il vast
popular majority last week dccreed
the same thing.
That is to say, we must have peace
if we have to call out the enginery OF
war to get it.

Choosing its Fate.

This is not good time for prophecies but
we venture the assurance that frog hair will
grow upon rocks before the old democratic
party recognizes upon the planks in the
indianapolis platform. Cumberland h,de-
pendent.
Will the independent put its finger
upon single clause in that platform
that has not always beer democratic
Or will it show IN any democratic
platform, save the Chicago monstrosi-
ty, a plank that favors free riot, or
one that assails court of last resort
Or, if these are democratic prin-
ciples, will it tell achen and ho,o they
became so
The Mdepenpent, like all the wan
derers, is mistaken. No army ever was
or can be organized on the lines
laid down by its deserters, and no
party can be restored to its integrity
and efficiency until it comes back to
the principles to which it owes it rise.
The Indianapolis platform is SUBJ
stantially the one on which the party
has won all its victories since the war.
1t is substantially the same on which
the country grew and prospered for 60
years before the war.
What's the matter with it now?
But the JOURNAL will tell the hide
pendent that whenever reorganization
takes place it will be on the basis of
the Indianapolis platform. If that
paper cannot return on those terms, it
will have to stay where it IS right in
the heart of a populism that now re-
CARDS its advent as an intrusion and
despises it as an interloper.
