CAUCUS REFORM.

It is announced that arrangements
are now being made for conference
to be held i'm New York some time in
October or November for the considera-
ton of important questions of caucus
reform. An earnest effort will be made
to frame primary election law that
will remedy the defects of existing legis-
lation, and plans will be discussed and
if possible perfected for awakening pub
lie sentiment on the subject and pre-
senting it to such legislatures as will
meet next winter. There is need OF
such awakening and OF such reform.
There is not, however, so much cause
to find fault with existing primary
laws as there is with the indifference
with which they are apparently re-
garded by very large percentage OF
the country's most intelligent citizens.
1t has come to be a common remark
by men who call themselves good citl-
zens that they no longer have any
thing to do with politics and don't
take interest enough in public affairs
to attend primaries and conventions
and assist in the selection of suitable
candidates for positions of public
trust. When professional politicians,
ward heelers, "grafters'' and spoils-
men are left largely to work out their
own devices at the primaries it is we'll
nigh impossible to accomplish any
practical reforms at the polls. The
remedy must be applied at the root of
the evil. 1t is in the primaries that
the disease germs of politics are gener-
ated and 1t is there that treatment
should begin. Men who hold them
selves aloof from politics on the ground
that it is full of chicanery and corrup-
ton are not doing their duty as citi-
zens. THE ISLANDER believes that
every man who has not sufficient in
terest in good government to exercise
his right to vote ought to be disfran-
chised. It is more than a right, for it
is a duty which no good citizen has
any moral right to evade. What mat
tiers it that participation in primary
elections presupposes, and even re-
Guires, utilization with some regular
party organization? Certainly there
are parties enough to afford the voter
sufficiently wide range of choice, and
there are good citizens enough in all
the great parties to insure good gov
ernment if they are invested with the
governing power. Surround the pri-
maries with such safeguards as will
remove them as far as possible from
the baleful influences of the corrupt
elements of all parties, and secure the
active participation in them of every
party voter who desires good govern
ment, and great step will have been
taken in the line of practical political
reform.

How are our silver friends explain
ing the increase in value of our cotton
crop this year in the face of the fall OF
silver? Silver has fallen 20 per cent
in the past year, while cotton has so
much advanced that this years crop,
although very light in quantity, will
bring $25, 100000 more to the farmers
of the south than that of two years
ago. The "explanation" which the
silverites apply in the case Of wheat
will not do for cotton.

EVERY business man in the county
should write to the manager of the
Western Union telegraph office in
Seattle and urge the laying of cable
from Anacortes to Victoria by way of
San Juan island and the establishment
and maintenance of Offices at Friday
Harbor and Roche Harbor at least.
The lack of telegraphic facilities is not
only one of the chief drawbacks to set
Element and development, but is the
greatest objection which business men
have to the establishment of impor-
tant enterprises here.

"PRIoR to the passage of the Dingley

which preceded the first day of 1879.
The offerer of the patent remedy
stood by and jeered. They Knocked at
us when our fear came. But when the
due legislation had been had and there
was no further change to be looked for
ward to; when business had reached
its sound basis and there was reason
able chance to calculate the future.
there came a repetition of the phe-
nomena of 1S79."-Speaker Reed in

THE latest application Of the nickel
and slot schemes is to gas meter. BY
dropping dime in slot made for the
purpose, the customer can use precise
ly 10 cents worth of gas, no more and
no less. The beauty of the arrange
ment is that it works both ways, and
not only is the customer prevented
from cutting his gas bills, but it be-
comes impossible for the company to
bring in an account for large quanti-
ties of gas consumed in an unoccupied
house.

cent girls from the criminal assaults of these wild beasts in human form. For a change we would like to see a plank in the Republican platform denourcing the perpetrators of the crime of rape; we would like to have some earnest observations from MT. Mckinley expressing his sympathy for the women of the South who have been made the victims of the yilest of all wrong; we should like to read some resolution denouncing the fiends who enter happy homes and turn them into hell.
 In short, we think it is time the North was showing It's sympathy for the real sufferer in the case the woman-whose punishment is worse than death, and who has committed DO crime. Why not note of pro- test now and then from the North in behalf of outraged womanhood, instead of this tenderness for the rapist and the murderer? If would be better, depend upon it. But there is not much likelihood that this will ever be, until the crime that infuri ates the South is brought home to the North. The suffering woman and the murdered and outraged girl will be forgotten; and the rapist will be placed upon a pedestal and bathed in the tears of Northern ssaneti- moniousness.

She Won Her Bet.

The efficiency of the employees of the Jacksonville postoffice was put to se- we're test recently, when the distribut- ing clerk came across photograph with a postage stamp attached and tho only direction on it as follows. says the Flor ida Times Union:
 "Deliver to -, Jacksonville, Fla. ?
 Several of the employees were shown the picture, which was taken with a small camera, and which did not show the face of the person photographed very distinctly. One of the carriers named Walter G. Coleman, the general travelling agent of the F. C. and ?. rail- way, was the person. Several of the clerks and carriers did not think that it was intended fer Mir Coleman, while others sided with the Bay street carrier. Finally wager of $l was made, and the carrier started out to deliver it.
 When he reached Mr Coleman $ office, that gentleman at once claimed the photograph as one of himself. 4 week ago or more, while walking along Bay street, he met young iady with q kodak, who took snap shot at him ii front of the Gardner building She said that if the picture was a good one she would send it to him. It also appears that the young lady won a wager made with her father cn the delivery of the photograph to Mir. Coleman with only the directions above
