Further Confirmation.

The Port ANGELES Tribune Times of
Saturday contained explicit informa-
ton regarding the building of the Port
Angeles Eastern to Olympia. Under
displayed headlines of "On to Olym
pia; Railroad Charter Being Amend
ed; Capital L, be Increased to $4,000
OOO, and he Line Pushed Through to
Olynlri.i," the Times-Tribune had the
following:
President Gushing of the Port
Angeles Eastern told the Tribune
Times yes erday that the original
plans of tie Port Angeles Eastern rail
road have already been abandoned fol-
bigger things. Instead Of building To
junction City only. the road is to be
pushed straight through to Olympia
"The Port Townsend Southern will
be side-trackcd.
"The local cnmpany's charter is be-
ing amended. and the capital stock in
creased to two million, instead of one.
half million dollars. New engineers
have been telegraphed for from the
east, and the survey line will be push
ed through Immediately. This change
OF base is made necessary in order to
guarantee the required trans-contin-
entail connections"
In another interview President
Gushing added.
"The idea of connecting with the
Port Townsend Southern at Junction
City has been abandoned for the rea-
son il is too far around. Asa result
junction City will be left to the north
ward and the road will take M 3
course direct from Quilcene to Olym-
pia. The engineer corps will be
doubled during the coming week,
owing to the pressing demand upon
their services for the drafting of plans,
and as field work must continue at all
hazards, the additional force has been
deemed absolutely necessary"

Comprehend UtteranceS.

At the Jeffersonian banquet at Ia
coma last Thursday evening Judge f
A. Mcdonald, of Seattle, set the pace
for the democracy of this state, and
all who will follow its lead, in an out
spoken address against what he was
pleased to term imperialism" 1t
little matters what name he or the
democracy choose to call it, or whether
such designation is right or wrong, the
opposition there exploited resolves it
self into hostility to the present, past
aud what is likely to be the future pol
icy of administration with reference to
the Philippine islands. Judge Nc
Donald's sentiments were so unanim-
ously and enthusiastically approved
that it is entirely to accept them as
the views of the democracy of this
state and Mcdonald as the future lead
er of that party.
In view of this state of facts the
utterances of Judge Mcdonald become
very interesting as we'll as important
l. He declares that the sending of
troops there was ill-advised.
2. He disputed the assertion that
it would be discourteous to the Wash
ington troops to deprecate their work
3. He declared that he "would
rather have poor George Fortson back
than all the niggers in the Philip
pines"
The foregoing declarations of Judge
Mcdonald form the basis of the plat
form upon which the democracy OIL
this state, and for that matter of the
country, will wage the contest of 1900
The republican party will certainly
be willing to accept the issue. For by
opposing the doctrine therein set
forth it opposes the apprehension OIL
the present day. These democratic
principles are but a revival of the cop
perhead doctrine of the northern, anti
war democracy of the days of 1860-65
It consisted then of continual oppo-
sition to the administration opposi.
ton to the war, disparagement of oul
soldiers in the field and an incessant
declaration that the life of this or that
brave Union soldier was worth more
than all "the niggers in the SOUTH"
God knows that the people of this
state regret and mourn the loss of the
heroic George Fortson and every other
brave boy who has fall in carrying out
the determination of the administers
ton to rescue nine-tenths of the Fill.
pinos from the instruction oil
Auginaldo and the other tenth. But
no true patroit will make that grief
ground for the desertion by this coun-
try OF its duty to those people, to the
world and to itself. That attempt
will be left to the copperheads, Of
which Judge Mcdonald is now the re.
cognized leaIer.-Oylmpian.

have a right, II 1t amounts to a nuis-
ance, to prevent the establishing of 1t,
although 1t is not far removed from
the present plant. The rights OF the
people with respect to location OF the
new plant are practically what they
would be If the old plant had not been
built. If the people had stood by and
allowed the erection of the plant they
may be compelled to suffer. Whether
or not they are to, am not here to
say. l may say, however, that the
city took very great risk in under
taking to establish plant there, from
which such effects flow, because the
operation of the plant, although 1t be
legitimate business, II 1t results in an
injury to the property. or to the use
and enjoyment of the property, the city
would certainly be held liable to dam
ages to the people, IL property owners
had not waived their rights by ac-
quiescence. 1t In said, however, that
these injurious effects will be remedied
in the building of the new plant. Now
it is proposed to do away with the mist
or spray,or condensed smoke, of which
so much complaint Is made, by the
uae OF a condenser. But 1t Is proposed
to erect this plant according to certain
plans and specifications. and 1t is the
erection Of the plant according to these
plans and specifications that these
property owners, the plaintiffs, are OBJ
jecting to, and which they are seeking
to have enjoined.
II the sort of engine that is proposed
to be used, high-speed, cross-com-
pound engine, will produce the same
vibrations as single engine located
upon the same kind of a foundation, in
order to avoid Inc vibrations the ma
chinery must be set upon a solid foun-
dation, and then it must have an en-
ineer who understands running 1t.
Although you have such a foundation,
unless the machinery is kept in good
order, there will probably be these vi
brations.
Now, taking this view of the evil
dence in this case-and l don't see
how any other can be taken--it seems
to me that there is but one conclusion
to which the Court can come.

proposed plant would injure the prop
