NOW Is THE ACCEPTED TINE.
People of Washington should Not
Neglect Their Opportunities.

Clallam County Courier.
Every city and town at some period OF
its existence is confronted in a business
way with condition which can best be
communities of small means with unde-
veoped and undoubted resources 1t is by
the combining OF individual capital small
though 1t be into one aggregate OF size
to put into operation industries that can
not be reached by the Individual.
We may complain OF combinations of
capital as we do, but all partnerships
are simply combinations of individual cap
ital for the accomplishment of an object
which can only be attained by united ac-
ton and capital.
While sitting here discussing the time
at which we may hear the whistle on the
f. A. Il. railroad splendid opportunities
are slipping by which should be seized
for the establishment of such business
as would be most profitable to investors
and beneficial to the city. We see every
week In our harbor hundreds of thous-
ands of feet OF logs cut In the west end
going up Sound TO be manufactured into
lumber and shipped back by Angeles to
foreign markets.
There is no reason why this should be
so. The solution of many problems and
the establishment OF many Industries
seems to be In the hands of our own bust
ness men and property owners Millions
upon millions Of feet of timber are with
in easy reach to be manufactured right
here into lumber, sash, doors. boxes, fur
niture and a hundred articles OF com
merce. United business combination will
solve many problems.
II Is surely patent to all that some move
looking To the development Of our won
derful natural resources should be made

existed. 1t did not happen" when
Clark sent in his resignation. 1t exist
ed when the legislature was in session.
That body simply failed TO elect sena-
tor. although it went through some ir-
relevant and imperative forms. There
fore the case is precisely parallel to
that Of Quay; and even though there
were no other objection to him, Clark
could not be admitted because the gov
ernor has no power of appointment in
such cases.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
mock resignation does not alter the
case. AS well assert that a resignation
by John Smith or any other private citi-
zen would cause a vacancy in the con-
tingent Of senator's from the state Of
Washington. 1t is pure farce. A man
cannot resign an office that he does not
hold and to which he has not been le-
gally chosen. One moments examina-
ton of the case discloses the naked i'm
pudence of the game played by Clark
and the perfect control that the senate
exercises over the situation. 1t has no
concern whatever with this pretended
withdrawal 1t has but to declare
Clark's election null and void. Then
the fact that he never was a senator
is established, and the state of Mon
tana can deal with the situation as it
sees fit
The most ardent partisan of Clark
must find his gorge rise as he contem-
plates this exhibition of insolence and
duplicity. Never in all our history has
the dignity of the senate been so out
ragged, common decency so publicly
fiouted. Destitute Of shame as this
man is, no one conceived him capable
of this monumental insult. To make
the senate the victim of a confidence
game, to touch it with appeals while
his hands were working the wires, fills
the measure Of his offending. 1t shows,
too, the mettle Of these base creatures
who are trying to buy seats in the sem
ate; plausibly referring to the popular
will. in reality prepared to stop at
nothing that interposes between them
ami their ambition. The disposition of
Mr.. Clark must be 50 unanimous and
so humiliating that no one will ever
care to invite his fate.

On another page will be found an alb
stract of some of the more important
features of the Alaska code as it passed
the United States senate. 1t is now be-
fore the house of representatives, and
1t is to be hoped will receive consider
alton from that body at an early date.
1t may be amended in some of its pro-
visions, and for that reason 1t had been
the intention not to publish a synopsis
of the code until it had been finally
completed and enacted into law. But
many people now leaving for the North
are anxious for information as to the
general tenor Of this important piece of
legislation, and review Of the code bill
as it was transmitted to the house has
been prepared to meet this demand.
The more important features of the
new code are outlined and some of it's
provisions are given in detail. Aside
from the provisions relating to mining
1t Is not probable that any material
changes will be made and 1t is doubtful
If there is any important amendment

Combination of Shell Makers,

When the chief of ordnance for the
army opened bids on May for projec-
tiles for the coast defense guns. IL was
found that five different firms had
made offers to supply the government
with these proiectiles. but 1t could
hardly be said that they had competed
with one another. The items of the bids
requested were as follows: l. e04 six
inch \. z. shells; g. 1856 ten-inch shells
3. 4O4 tweive-inch A. p. shells; 4, 404
twelve-inch ID. F. shells, Weighing 900
pounds These five firms submitted
identlcally the same bids, 1892 each for
item /; $3.50 each for item 9: $3.50 each
for item 3; and $40 each for item T.
Not only were the amounts 10 be paid
identical, but the terms Of delivery
were exactly the same, first lot within
sixty days. and one lot each thirty days
thereafter
These prices may be all right. and no
more than the shells are actually worth
but the exact coincidence between the
bids in every instance shows beyond
all argument that combination was
entered into between these shell man
ufacturers by the terms Of which they
were not to bid against one another
Such combinations usually suppose an
enlarged pront 10 be divided among all
the members OF the combination
amounting to as much In each case as
the Individual firm would have made
II the contract had been awarded TO It
on a fair competition. The necessities
az the ordnance department for these
shells must be very great and pressing
before 1t should award any contract
upon bids presented as these are. in

THE FUTURE OF SOUTH AFRICA
The Orange River Colony and the
TransvaaI TO BECOME N
Crown Co1ony.

London, June -, 1855 p. NIT Is
learned that the government has at
last decided upon plan for the civil
settlement of South Africa. The de-
tails are kept most secret, but il can
be safely said that the Orange River
colony and the Trarsvaal will become
a crown colony. Sir Alfred Miner, it
is declared, is to be high commissioners
of South Africa, in spite of the opposi-
ton he has incurred.
The crown colony form OF govern
mrnt can be best understood bv refer
cnce TO the system, in vogue in the
West Indies. Sierra Leone and Ceylon.
Endeavors will be made to put this in
force as soor as possible in the Trans
vaal and Orange River colonies, though
ii is scarcely expected that the details
will be announced Or some parts of the
work be bcgrn for a few months.
While the civil settlement will be
drawn up SO as to be eventually inde-
pendent of military enforcement, it is
realized that the initial work must be
effected with the cooperation of the
troops. Sir Alfred Miner appears TO
believe that civil reorganization and
military pacification can proceed sim
uitaneously, and that a possible seat
tered rising will not seriously retard
the progress or organization once it Is
begun.
The colonial Office is said TO be of
the opinion, however, that the maAhte-
nance of good sized garrsons at such
centers as Bloemfontein, Kroonstad,
Johannesburg and Pretoria will be
necessary for a long time after the
crown colony system gets in working
| order. For this reason and others
put forward by Sir Alfred Milner, the
idea OF granting an autonomous form
of government has been abandoned.
| II is believed, though it can not be
verified. that 4 portion of the Trans
vaal will be partitioned eff to Natal.
| The whole arrangement may be
roughly described as coinciding with
| the views advanced by the progressives
cs opposed to those held by the bond
| ties. The final steps in this direction
| have been taken during the last few
| days. Mr.. Chamberlain sent for j. p.
| Fitzpatrick, author of The Transvaal
from Within" who is well known in
connection with South African affairs
and spent whole day in consultation
with him. Mr.. Fitzpatrick will sail for
| Cape Town June 16 TO join the advis-
| Cry committee, which Sir Alfred Mil
] ner is forming.

Tien Tsin, June 13.-One hundred
and sixty-three British landed Mon
Gay evening. An additional 20 British
have been sent to Fong Shan.
Yesterday morning special train
left Tien Tsin for Yang Tsun, to bring
Gen. Mich to consult with the hceroy.
Telegraplic communication with
Pekin is still interrupted.
The Russian war ships Petropaulov-
ski and komitoff are at Taku bar, and
the III ssian torpedo boats "103" and
"I07" are in the River Taku. Want of
transport prevents the Russians from
landing troops. The Russians were very
active here to-day.
1t is rumored that Gen. Fung Fab
Slang, with many thousand troops, is
at Feng Tai. The latest news from Pao
Tung Flu is that the Boxers, 5000
strong, are attacking the Catholic con-
vent there. The situation is critical,
and the officials are evidently inactive.
The United States war ships Nash
