A Boon to the State.

The announced reduction of passenger
rates by the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific roads that is to take effect
July list will be of immense value TO
the people of Washington. 1t is at once
a witness Of the magnitude and solid
ity of our growth and guarantee that
this viii continue in increasing meas
ure. Coming as it does, without public
agitation or legislative pressure, it es-
tablishes the willingness of railroad
managements to deal fairly with the
people, and follows the rule that where
volume of business will justify 1t a
lower rate is favorable to the carrier
as well as to the public.
The rate of three cents a mile is that
now In effect in the older and more
thickly settled commonwealth farther
east. As not only construction but OPP
Grafton Is much more costly in. this
state, owing to the mountain ranges
that have to be crossed, the concession
of three cent rate is liberal one.
The reduction has been made possible
by the great increase in travel that has
taken place in recent years. The through
coast business has multiplied and, alto
gether apart from the Nome rush, 1t is
steady and heavy all the year round.
The growing Importance Of Seattle and
the amount of passenger traffic which
going on to a less extent all over the
Pacific Northwest The settlement Of
interior sections and the growth OF ag-
ricultural industry have also contrib
uted powerfully to the new conditions.
1t is probable. too, that the railroads
themselves have been convinced of the
business value of low rates by their
experience with recent excursions for
homeseekers. Thousands Of people trav-
eled westward on these reduced fares.
and practically all of them remain.
Where state is as far removed from
the center of population Of the country
as is Washington. passenger rates are
an important item In promoting or re-
tarding immigration. As result of
lower fares, tens of thousands of new
corners will press into the splendid
country waiting for them In Washing
ton. within the next five years. While
the state benefits. the railroad compa-
MES will profit also by travel multiplied
so many times that the net income from
the lower rate will be greater than that
from the higher.
1t Is a great gain to our people. 1t
Is not the grant of a lump sum, but
continuing benefit that goes on indef-
niteiy. for it is a part of progress that
transportation charges may decrease.
but never rise with the development of
business and the growth OF population.
The new charge means millions OF dol
lars for the people of Washington. and
Is convincing proof OF the confidence
OF those who look farthest afield and
ahead In the extent and enduring quail
ity of the prosperity of the Pacific
Northwest.

Come Out From Among Them.

The Republicans of Montana have
put themselves nobly on record. They
have come out from among the corrup-
tIonists and declared that they will not
touch the unclean thing The insolent
boast of Clark's friends that he repre-
sents so per cent. OF the voters of the
state is torn TO tatters. And the dis
grace brought upon the party by the
votes which its venal representatives at
Helena cast for Clark is removed.
These traitors to Republicanism and
American citizenship and common de-
cency and honor are branded as they
deserve. 1t is the Republican party of
the state that speaks, and it is applaud
ed by every Republican in the country
who has not some mans bride in his
pocket: I'VE denounce in unmeasured
terms the betrayal Of Republican prin-
ciples by the eleven Republicans who
voted for and assisted in the election of
w. A. Clark to the United States SEN
ate" Nor was this a mere empty sop
one of these senators who had dis
graced his party was struck from the
list of delegates to the convention.
This Is political honesty and 1t is also
wise political policy. If the Republic
ans of Montana adhere to this position
and If they make II good, they will not
only win national respect but they will
carry the state. Montana is Disguised
and enraged with the carnival of hood
ling that Democrats have inaugurated
there. The name of the state has been
dragged through filth. The statue of
the commonwealth has been polluted
and set up where every passer-by may
boot at it. The people of that state
are not derelicts or degenerates. They
are proud and honorable. They will not
consent to remain in their intolerable
position.
The Clark case has presented the is
sue Of political corruption to them clear
cut and hideous. Democracy in that
state is utterly demoralized by the in
huence Of millionaires What inroads
they had made upon Republieanism
also was seen I'm the vote purchased for
Clark. But the party now repudiates
these traitors and mercenaries. 1t ap-
peals TO the honor. the pride and the
manhood Of Montana. On that platform
1t will win. Let Montana Republicans
draw the line OF ostracism at the hood
Ter; let them deny to him any party
standing, punish him with exile and set
their faces infexlbly against the crime
Of which Clark is the living representa-
tive. and they will find the people solid
behind them. The mass OF men are not
venal scoundrels. Give them high and
honorable leadership. and they VIII fol-

movement for a change is held by the
conservatives to be really Of accidental
origin, and the suggestion Of short
creed as a substitute for the existing
one is looked upon as a revolutionary
proposal which means retrogression; the
surrender OF the progress made in nine

study, the return from an advanced to
an elementary state and the reopening
OF all the controversies through which
the church has passed.
For the past seven sessions OF the
general assembly the conservatives
have been in the majority, and there is
every reason to believe that they will
now exert a commanding influence in
church councils such as will insure a
declaration against wholesale creed re-

WITH the Porto Rican question dis
posed of for the present and the Quay
case out of the way, Congress has
settled down to business with de-
termination among the leaders to
bring the session to close before the
meeting of the Republican National
Convention.
Only two matters remain undisposed
of in addition to the appropriation bills
and other necessary routine legisla-
ton. These are the joint resolution
giving the President control of the
Philippines and the Clark case. When
these are disposed of it is probable the
road will be promptly cleared for ad-
iournment. At present it is the pro-
gramme of the Senate leaders to let
the Nicaragua Canal bill and ship sub
sidy measures go over until the next
session.

IT was statee last week that the Pres
ident is very desirous of having the
two wing of the Republicans in Della
ware united in one solid party but it is
noticeable that Col. Dupont, as voiced
by his paper, the Evening Journal, is
not in favor of this unless Mr. Addicks
be entirely eliminated, which the other
faction say never will be done. The
position of the latter is thus stated by
the Union Republican:
Republican unity in Delaware will
come, if it comes at all by influences
at home, and not by invoking aid from
without. Union Republicans have
done all that can be done by men ac-
taated by party loyalty, and a gener-
Gus consideration of the claims of
others. Having done this there is no
reason to do more. We believe in
standing firmly, and with dignity upon
our record. If harmony is now to
come let 1t come from those who have
hitherto refused harmony. Above all,
the wise man trusts only in the evi.
dence of what has been. This is ex-
per1ence. The experience of Union
Republicans to date is put not your
faith in princes" but rely upon indi-
vidual effort.

THE vote that defeated Quay in the
U. S. Senate, it is SAID, was "God-
send" to Governor Tunnell it relieved
him from a choice where perhaps he
had none, between Willard Salisbury
and John Biggs for the position of
Senator. He had been strongly urged
by the friends of both, but declined
unless Quay should be seated. He
was thus relieved from an act, in the
light of history, that he evidently felt
was of doubtful propriety.

The startling incident last week at
Court was the retirement of John w.
Hawkins, Esq, former Secretary of
State, from the Kent County Bar.
The disintegrations following course
of wrong doings at Dover in disfran-
chisements, and seizure of offices,
&C., is serious phase of history in
connection with the bar, much of
which will never be recorded. The re-
port of the incident in the Dela1OGrean
says:
'The court, as we'll as the members
of the bar, sat motionless for an in
stant, particularly Justice Grubb who
has been a long friend of Mr.. Haw-
kins.''
1t is not to be wondered at that
Judge Grubb, who was as active off
the bench as he was wise ON it, should
sit motionless ''for a moment" The
DeJdWaredn in further stating the case
says:
"On Tuesday, Mr.. Hawkins was in
dicted by the Grand Jury on two
counts for embezzlement and embez-
element as bailee. The SO, 900 alleged
to have been embezzled was said to
have been paid Mr.. Hawkins by Q

day secured continuance of the
