Ta'lest Of All Trees.

In New South Wales, Victoria and
Tasmania grows species Of gum tree
eucalyptus amygdalina is its scien-
tifc name-which Sir F. Won Mueller
says probably represents the tales
OF all trees Of the globe" The lottieSt
specimen OF this tree yet measured
towers to the height OF AL feet. A
PROSTATE tree, measured in Victoria,
was 420 feet long, and the distance
from the roots TO the lowest branch
was e95 feet. Al that point the trunk
was feet in diameter. and SEQ feet
from the butt the diameter was still
feet. The wood Of this tree is hard
and of good quality; il grows quick
ly. and yields great quantity of yoIa-
tile oil from its leaves. which are very
abundant.

EEFCNDING A SUCCESS.

The report of the city officers upon
tie progress Of refundlng operations.
presented at the last meeting of the
city council, shows that the work Of re-
funding and clearing up the city debt
is making rapid progress. This is GER
tainlv graft Wing news to the taxpayers
Of the city and all those who take an
interest in its welfare According
to the report sl92,5OO worth Of
street improvement and sewer bonds
had been approved for payment at the
time the report WAS presented, and no
Illegal" bonds are mentioned So it
would seem that the fears expressed in
some quarters that the city officers
would pay any of those bonds were not
warranted. Let the good work go on
and it will not be many moors before
the credit OF Superior Will be restored
and capital commence to flow our way.

Our COlOred FellOw.CitlZenS.

The protest registered by our colored
fellow W citizens. at the meeting of the
Silver Leaf club, on Wednesday night,
against the outrages committed against
those Of their color in different parts of
the country, was one based upon the
eterna: principles of justice and mercy,
and We hope it will have the desired
effect. 1t is q disgrace to this great
nation tina: such outrages are commit
ted, and, as was well said by one of our
leading newspapers few DAYS ago, we
might better make such crimes impos-
sbIe in this country before we 60 into
Mysteries over the cruelties Of the Turks
and Spaniards. No more barbarous
crimes have ever been committed in
any country than have been committed
against the negroes, by whites, IN this
country while the criminals, in every
case, have escaped punishment. OF
course, the perpetrators of those deeds
always plead justification upon one
ground or another: the courts are too
slow, unreliable or merciful. and the
jalls are not secure enough. AT times
bare suspicion has sufiiccd to guarantee
poor negro passage to the next world
by way of gun. rope or stake. Even
the trivial ofense Of appropriating
chicken from a neighboring he'll coup
has been followed by condgn punish
ment. OF course, it is not contended
by our colored fellow citizens that they
should escape punishment for their
crimes. By no means; but they demand
that they shall be punished by legal
methods, and for crimes, not because
they are negroes, and, as such, have no
rights the white people are bound to
respect. They claim equal rights and
privileges with their white neigh bors-
nothing more, and it is the duty of the
government 10 see that they receive
nothing less.

Fred Douglass Compliment to

knock together But when he got
fairly going this not uncommon ner-
vousness, which al speakers have some
times felt, would pass away. He put
his points well III any argument, and
bis eloquence was Of high order. His
tribute, in one sentence, to Abraham
Lincoln, is an unsurpassed compli
ment. Mr.. Lincoln" he said. sis the
only white man in whose presence l

me feel that 1 was a negro."-Joel

The charging drum its signal beat,
And when the lengthening shadows fall.

And tent upon the field they won,
So these. who gained in noble strife
The honors which they wear to-day,
Review by memorys gentle light
The tolls and triumphs OF the way.
All indebted by stain OF blood.

The warfare OF the pioneer.
Sentried by forests dark and vast,
By rolling rivers mOatCd round,
FortresSed by hills whose priceless stores
Lay hidden in their depths profound.
The New World, like a savage queen
Shaped in some proud, barbarc mold.
From her rude throne, uutamed and free,
Challenged the forces OF the Old.

Stronger than sword or bayonet-

Where marching millions follow yet.
The ploughshare through the fertile soil
Its billowy burrows ran. and 10!
The serried ranks of tasseled corn
Stood in the harvcst's sunshine glow!
The builders iterant hammer stroke
Scared the wild panther from his lair.
And happy home, and church and school

The miners pick and spade compelled
The mountains secret: iron bands

Turned burden bearers; to and fro
The messages of commerce flew.

The Superior Court Judge ship.

Dame rumor--the old busy body-hatl.
1t that Judge Roberts is an aspirant for
the position now filled by Judge Smith.
We do not know whether the rumor
has any substantial foundation or not.
bat We shall not be surprised if it should
turn out to be we'll within the truth
The judge certainly has perfect right
to aspire to any position within the
git of the people winch he feels that
he is qualified to fill, and we do not
would make good Superior court
judge, and we will even 60 farther, and
say that if he is nominated we believe
the people OF Douglas county will he
found to be of the same opinion. No

tanceship III the county. and certainly
there is not one who has served the
peope as faithfully and whose record
Is cleaner What the Republicans want
III this contest IS candidate on whom
tney can not only unite, out who will
draw strength from opposing parties.
and We think Judge Roberts is the man
for the place. As to his ability to fill
the position, We do not think there is
any question about that Indeed we
are satisfied that his election to the Su-
pcrior court lulgeship would result in
= great saving to the county under the
read Of appeals to the Supreme court,
and the people of the county should
Keep that important consideration in
view. There is no use-eXcept for law
Nrrs, who profit by his mistakes-in
having a judge on the Superior court
bench whose decisions will not stand
The test of the Supreme court As for
the objection that Judge Roberts has
been sufficiently cared for by the people,
we submit that IN elccting Judge Rob
crts the people were caring for them
selves first-they elected him because
they believed him to be the man for
the place, and they were not disap-
pointed and that fact should be the
Il strongest argument in support of his
election to the Superior court Judge
ship. We need tYled and trustw orthv

But. as we say. we DO not know for
certainty, whether Judge Roberts is
seeking promotion or not.

Cigarette Smokers Barred.

The freight agent Of an important
railroad, and he is neither crank nor
dyspeptic, has announced that he
will engage no more young men who
smoke cigarettes. He says that ont Of
the mistakes made by the 200 Young
men in his employ, s. per cent. are
made by tiIirtv-two that smoke cigar
cites. This furnishes good business
reason to the employer FOR his decision
and it ought, it would seem, to be equal

Out of Their Own Mouths We
Judge Them.

At the time that the Union Label
ordinance was passed the TIMES objected
on the ground that 1t was piece OF
special legislation, passed, not in the
interest Of the whole people, but in the
interests of few individuals banded
together and known as the Topographic
cal Union. 1t is a pleasure to US, there
fore, to find the Union Label Adver-
tiser, the official organ of the Union
Labor League, published in West Su
Plumbing Law passed bv the Wisconsin
Legislature the Label Advertiser says:
1t is special legislation. because it can
assist only one Tor where there is an assist
ant inspector). two firms. 1t gives them an
undue advantage over, and to the practical
exclusion Of their competitors in business
What does the ordinance passed by
the City council do but assist Union
printing Offices to the practical exclus-
ion Of others, as we'll as place it in the
power Of few bosses to force the city
to pay more for it's printing than it
would otherwise have to pay.
Again:
1T should be the aim of lawmakers to
give the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. but where the law creates private sine
cure, and the public can derive benefits there
from only when the pri :ate interest OF q
pubic official is not interfered with, then
the aims of the Legislators is defeated
We agree with the Advertiser that it
should be the aim of all w-makers to
give the greatest good to the greatest
number, aud that a law should not ere
ate a private sinecure," Just what the
Union Label ordinance and Plumbing
law did. The Union Label Advertisers
reasonin. is somewhat out of plumb.

The Tic OF Travel to Alaska.

Thirtvsix steamers are now running
regularly between Seattle and points in
Southwestern Alaska. Several other
vessels are running irregularly, and all
are loaded to their full capacity. Later
steamers will run to st. Michael and
the Yukon. The Alaskan steamers run
directly from Seattle and Portland and
princi pally from Seattle. Seattle is 500
miles nearer Alaska than San Francisco,
and this makes the tide of travel from
the East set strongly to Seattle. The
city council in Seattle has passed an
ordinance creating bureau of public
comfort. The purpose of this bureau is
to provide for the welfare of gold seek
ers passing through Seattle and give
them such information about boarding
and lodging places as will enable the
pilgrims to get suitable accommoLa-
tons.
The increased travel to the far West
has put the transcontinental railroads
on their mettle. Take, for instance,
the Great Northern railway, which is
the shortest and quickest line from st.
Paul and Minneapolis to Seattle and
Portland. The Great Northern has put
on fast vestihuled train, the Alaska
limited, which. leaving ST. Paul at 80
p. m, after the arrival of trains from
Chicago and the South and East, runs
solid 10 Seattle, reaching that point on
rho thIrI NJ n',.ln,L-
and half hours in advance of all pre-
vious schedules. At Spokane il con-
meets with the o. Il. < y. for Portland,
that line using Great Northern sleepers
and tourist cars. This across the con-
tinent' train is vestibule4 throughout,
and besides the regular coaches has
palace sleeners and family tourist cars,
a dining car. serving meals a Ia carte,
and library observation car. which
has the furnishings Of the ordinary club,
with library, writing desks, bath room,
barber shop and big windows for the
outlook. In every respect the train is
equal to the best on the best Eastern
lines.
Tie editor of the Times has watched
the growth of the Great Northern with
much interest. 1t is the only transcon-
tinental line built without help from
the government, and has never iiscred-
tied the Northwest bv defauting on its
securities, which securities have never
been The playthins of Wall street. The
Great Northern is entitled to .uil con-
sideration from the travelling public.
