The election OF a successor to the
polygamous Roberts of Utah, will be
held April 2. Both parties have strip
ped for the fray, determined that, in
so far as state election at this early
date can influence the national con-
ventions, it shall be done by Utah.
Both sides have agreed to nominate
candidates without the polygamous
faint. The republican candidate will
be stood on the St. Louis platform,
and the democratic candidate on the
Chicago platform. Roberts plurality
was $500. Enough has happened
since 1896 to make the republicans
confident that the democratic plurali.
ty on congressman can be whitfield
out of sight. The democrats are
equally confident that "the drift Of
events" will not be in the direction OF
republicanism. Utah has only one
congressman-when congress allows
her to be represented at all.

bright and promising future and is
destined to become one of the leading
agricultural counties OF the state. A
fair crop this season will mean the
marketing of something near four
million bushels OF wheat.

Missouri never was particularly
lucky state for democratic national
conventions. Tilden was nominated
at st. Louis and was beaten in the
race for the presidency. Cleveland
was renominated at St. Louis and was
jostled off the course. History will re-
peat itself and Kansas City will fail
to redeem the states reputation. The

Like choice wine, as n woman grows
older, and up to certain age, say 80
years. she ought to be more attractive
in certain ways than she could be in
her youth. In only exceptional cases
can a woman improve in physical
beauty, and even were that always pos
sible, still there might be stagnation
and immobility of character, the facial
charm, and render it null and even
daily more unsatisfactory. But a
woman whose mind is alert and
thoughtful, woman who is always
learning, will be that object which is
constantly changing, and in conse-
quence is always interesting. And be-
yond this, a woman whose heart and
sympathy are ever expanding, who re-
ceives ever more cordially noble ideas,
whose character is daily elevated by
the practice OF kind thoughts and help
full deeds, is constantly gaining and
growing; that is, moving-going on
ward-not staying where she was, but
advancing to new arcs in the orbit of
her being. She draws the eye and
the interest as the planet in its course.

Every voter within the city limits
should observe the registry law and
men should have no doubts as. tc
whether or not they should register
There is registration law, and it is
in full force and effect. The registra.
ton law was enacted in order to throw
an additional safeguard around the
ballot box. Election frauds had been
easy and common. 1t was possible fol-
repeaters to multiply their votes and
the cities suffered much by the prac-
tice. The tramp passing through the
country could walk up to the polls
and kill the vote of the Oldest and
best citizen. Roguery, trickery and
viciousness were frequent, and good
people asked for a change. 1t was
these causes that gave us the registra-
tion law. The law is a reform. 1t is
a step toward the publication OF poll
tics. 1t is the duty Of every good citi-
zen to rally round the law and to lend
his influence to make its operation
successful. Every good citizen should
register, and by the act give testimony
that he favors political publication.
The official notice of the registration
stands in another columns of today's
issue. Read it.

The Wenatchee Advance, which
rose up last week to proudly name
eight secret orders existing in that
place and ask what town of compare
tive size could make such II showing,
is hereby cordially invited to resume
its seat with due humiliation. Daven-
port is the banner bearer in this mat
ter, over any and all towns OF from
500 to 5000 population, having twelve
separate and distinct secret orders
and battery company besides. Next.
Davenport Chronicle.
This is Ritzville, Adams county,
Washington, town which has no
equal on American soil when it comes
to secret organizations, taking every
thing into consideration. Our popu-
lation is 1000 souls or less. All the
growing" the town ever did to speak
OF, was within the last three years.
We have thirteen independent secret
orders and as many charters hang on
exhibition in the city. There are more
sober, prosperous, happy, Christian
people, more sociability, good-fellow-
ship, peace and harmony here than in
any hamlet Of its size on terra firma.
The writer has spent over fifteen years
in the business center OF the town and
has never seen a fist-fight during that
time, and we are not blind either. Not
a "tough" or dangerous character in
the place, and has not been, that we
know of-they don't rendezvous here.
Our embryo city is full Of enterprise
handsome women, public-spirited
and industrious men. Six churches
are occupied by fair audiences each
Sabbath day, two hundred fine child
rem attend our most excellent public
school. Ladies clubs, aid societies,
unities, leagues and other similar
assemblies are in evidence among us
and all are in fourishing condition.
We therefore feel that we are living,
moving reality; that things are what
they seem; our little town gem from
any standpoint it may be taken. At
this time the prospects are that two
millions of dollars will be required to
pay for the wheat crop this year. No.
body wants to leave the country and
emigration is pouring in every day.
Rarely farms Or business concerns are
found for sale at reasonable price
people are content with their sur.
roundings-all are doing we'll, living
well and dressing we'll. If this is not
true, we acknowledge that our vision
is deceptive and that our optics need
the attention OF physician-until
then we will adhere to the Statement
that Ritzville, the capital of Adams
county, is the best town of her age and
size on this great footstool.
