The Official Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2lst, 1897.

Gov. ROGERS has summarily re-
moved Regents Hayden, Fay and
Davis, of the State University, and
deserves the cordial commentator of
the people for so doing. 1t may not be
true that they "coDspired" to Glover
the standard of the University" but it
certainly is true that under their
regency its standard has been lowered
and the influence of the institution
materially impaired. Just why the
governor did not also remove Regent
Blethen, whom he also appointed and
who has "stood in" with the deposed
regents and supported them in the
paper which he edicts, does not appear,
but there is so much cause for salts
faction over the removal of Fay and
Davis particularly. the most disturb
ing elements in the late board, that it
is not we'll to be hasty in ascribing
Blethens' retention to any unworthy
fears or motives on the part of the
governor. Of the new appointees,
Hon. John B. Allen, ex-United States
senator, appointed TO succeed Regent
Hayden, Republican, is the best known.
His eminent qualifications for the
position are not questioned and it is to
be hoped that he will accept. Judge
Richard Winsor is one of the most
prominent Populists in the state and
was quite conspicuous as a senatorial
candidate last winter. According to
the Rev. Clark Davis, whom Wlnsor
is to succeed, the latter is San infidel
and known agnostic and utterly
despises the governor" Nevertheless
he is man of ability. c.. M. Easter
day is one of the Populist state senators
from Pierce county and Mr.. Davis is
kind enough to say that he respects
him, but he does not lack for better
recommendations than that.

who knows him will be inclined to
question, states that it was really three
minutes later than the advertised time
when the steamer left the wharf. The
cabman who carried the belated pas
sengers was probably too slow and
sought to shift the blame where it least
belonged. The publishers of THE
ISLANDER regret the unintentional in
Justice of the item to men whose kind
ly spirit of accommodation is well
known to all the people along the

BANK clearances throughout the
country have shown a most remark
able increase during the past five or
six weeks. The last week in Septem-
Der, for instance, they reached the
enormous total of 81, 1899, 900, 197, which
has not been surpassed by the CORES
ponding week in any year since 1891,
when the total was 81, 81, 2S2, 1853. The
present volume of the bank clearings
for the whole country is something
like $500, 900 week greater than
the average for this season during the
years of business depression from 1893
to 1896 inclusive.

announced the appointment of 0. H.
Culver, editor of THE ISLANDER, to
the position of deputy Collector and
Clerk in charge of the custom house at

ver's appointment was very strongly
urged by many of the most prominent
Republicans and business men in this
county, as we'll as by the most influen-
tial party leaders, newspapers and
business men in Whatcom county, the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, with which
Mr.. Culver has been connected for
over seven years, and by Senator Will
son, with whom he has been personally
acquainted for nearly ten years and
whom he has cordially supported in
every campaign that he has made in
the state. Mr.. Culver has been direct
ed to take charge of the office on the
LIST day of November. He most sincerely
appreciates the assistance which has
been SO cordially given him by many
friends and hopes that he may be able
to render SUCH service to the govern
ment and to the county during his in
cumbancy of the office that they may
have no occasion to regret the selection
which Col. Heutis has made. He de-
sires to say that he did not press his
candidacy for the place until he had
been assured that there was no prob
ability of the appointment of any one
more closely identified with the in
terests of the county, Of the Republic
can party.

Japanese.

Since coming off victorious in
their war with the Chinese, the
japanese have been looking about
for other fields to conquer, and have
decided that Hawaii will suit them
for a starter. They therefore have
sinister designs upon that island,
which the President of the young
Hawaiian Republic proposes to
resist. In anticipation of trouble
there the United States government
dispatched a war-ship to Hawaii to
protect American citizens residing
there, should occasion require.
The japanese people take exception
to this, but if they attempt to inter
fere in any way with the rights Of
United States subjects in the Sand
wich Islands, or elsewhere, they will
discover that this Republic is still
continuing business at the old stand
and ready to protect all who owe
allegiance to her flag. Though the
Japanese obtain many of their mod
ern idea of civilization from this
country, they may yet have to ac
quire a lesson upon the rights carried
with American citizenship.

Senate And Tariff

The hope that the United State
Senate would readily concur in q
House protective tariff bill has
proven vain one, that august body
manifesting a disposition to take
whatever action may be decided
upon, very leisurely. 1t begins tc
look little as though the opposition
would yet be able to block tariff
legislation, and that they may do Sc
in the hope of thus next year gain
ing control of the House, and
defeating protective legislation
throughout McKinley's Presidential
term. Democratic Senators who
would vote with the Republicans
upon purely financial questions
seem inclined to adhere to the
traditions oftheir party when voting
upon tariff measures. Should the
Republican party fail in its attempt
to secure that tariff legislation so
essential to our national prosperity,
the responsibility for lack of such
Legislation viii be placed where it
will properly belong-upon the
opposition in tire Senate.

Cuba.

Appearances seem now to indi-
cate that the Cuban insurgents will
fail in their attempt to free them
selves from Spanish dominion.
We believe that had the United
States government, in the name OF
common humanity, extended to
the insurgents the same considera-
tons which France accorded to the
colonies in the American revolution,
Cuban independence would have
soon been practically assured. II
seems to us that the American
people who were the recipients OF
valuable assistance at so critical q
period in their struggle for existence
as a free and independent nation
ought to have been willing to ex-
tend like assistance to another
people tar more grossly oppressed
in their efforts to throw off a yoke
of tyranny that could be no longer
endured. 1t is reported that th'
Spanish authorities at Madrid have
at last consented to some greatly
needed reforms in the island o
Cuba, nd should these promised
reforms be carried out the Cubar
rebellion of 1895 will not have beer
wholly in vain, even though it may
not prove successful.

Europe.

As time passes the complications
in international affairs in Europe
are becoming greater. The war
between Greece and Turkey is by
40 means the only cause for anxiety
on the part of different countries
there. Germany is just beginning
to realize what many people knew
long ago-that Great Britain wants
the earth-and manifests a dispo-
sltion to protest against further
territorial conquest by England.
The prospect for universal peace in
Europe at an early day is not very
promising at present. In the way
of territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Russia
is prompted by the same motives
which characterize England, and
all things considered it seems likely
that the nations of Europe will in
the near future contribute much to
the pages of history.

Arbor Day and after a few remarks
on the objects of the day, appointed a
com mittee of four boys TO procure
trees, and the balance of the school,
under his care, cleaned the yard of
all debris. The commmittee re-
turned at noon with two pines, two
naples and two box alder trees. The
services OF VIM. Mabin, who has had
considerable experience in the nur-
sery business, were enlisted to plant
the trees, and while he was perform
ing this task the teacher and pupils
repeated selections on tree planting.
1t is well worth the time spent for
parents to be present on such occa-
sions to see the bright young faces
light up with joy, where such eXer-
cises are properly carried out and the
teachers take the interest that ours
did on this occasion.
