MENACE TO THE COTTON TRADE
The owners OF cotton mills in the Car.
olinas, Alabama, Georgia and Mary
land, As in number, representing $14,-
1854 800 capital, have petitioned the
Secretary OF State, for an "open door"
policy with China. The war has
changed conditions so materially that
it is feared, if Russia obtains control
of Manchuria, that such heavy duties
will be imposed on American goods as
to render suspension of trade neces-
sary. The petitioners express the
hope that the administration will take
such action as it may deem proper to
maintain the protection and perpetu-
ity of the existing commercial rela-
tions with China, especially as regards
Manchuria,

Who il at Fault ?

That the Republican party is wholly
responsible for foisting the freak Gov
ernor upon us another term, is plain
when we remember that it was the Sc
attic P.-I. and the Tacoma Ledger,
which started the untrue and ridicu-
lous lie that he was "the best Gov.
ernor Washington ever had" while
such men as Stevens, and Mason and
Ferry, have filled that chair so ably
men whose shoe latchess Rogers wou Id
have been unworthy to unloose. It
was by such deception that the ground
work was laid for the reasonable
course OF the vest-pocket politicians
rivals of Frink-to show their spite
work in the campaign,
The vote of King county shows
upon what fertile ground the seed
sown by the Pr. fell. Humes' oppor-
tunity to "get even" was presented
by it, and he strewed with lavish hand
the weeds of discord, to cauke out the
harvest of party which had lavished
upon him its choicest honors.
Thurston likewise had the misfor-
tune to have an aspirant for guberna-
torial honors, and the result shows
that here, too, the sharp-edged sword.
of spite played an important part
Those who listened in the several
wards and precincts to the call of the
ballots have no trouble in placing the
responsibility. Scores and hundreds
of straight Republican tickets were
headed by the man nominated by
the forces opposed to the Republican
party" and scores and hundreds OF
Democratic tickets carried the name
| of Frink, as choice of evils, made
after mature deliberation and a full
knowledge of all the facts necessary
! on which to base intelligent action.
The Scobey vote, probably without
that gentleman's sanction, was cast
largely for Rogers, not in the hope OF
lettering matters in any respect, but
purely for revenge. They voted for
an open and avowed enemy (the mask
having been stripped from the ugly
features) in preference to one who has
at least shown a proper respect for the
promptings OF honesty and the ameni-
ties of lie.
In Spokane Frink was knitted on
Wilson's account, and so the spirit of
dissension and unrest swept all over
the State. The result to us, locally,
has been peculiarly unfortunate, as
will be shown by the development of
the plans of the autocrat in the exec
utive chair, who combines the conceit
OF an overgrown school-boy bully
with the Machiavelian turpitude of q
venal, scheming politician, whose only
appeal to favor is that confederation
of circumstances has placed success
within his grasp. Such conditions are
abnormal, however, and it is only at
remote intervals that the people can
be worked by such scheming.

A Fortune With q Bride.

A rush OF men, equal to the STAN.
pede for Klondike, is on for the Indi
an Territory, and it is not entirely TO,
gold either, although lucre is a prom
inent feature of tho incentive. The
excitement is caused by the division
being made by the government of the
lands and money Of the Five Tribes,
whereby a liberal dowry is afforded
in lands and money to abou. 10000
eligible dusky-colored damsels. Every
white man who marries an Indian
girl Is entitled by law, TO as much
land and money, as if he were a full
blood Indian, belonging to one of the
tribes. The dowry of the women
amounts to from 100 to 500 acres of
land and $4,000 cash, a comfortable
little "dot" OF itself, and when the girl
marries, this allowance is doubled by
the husbands acquired rights, and the
matter becomes tempting bait to the
ordinary heiress seeker.
The rush to the Indian Territory.
since these facts became known, of ell
igible spouses, has been one of the
wonders of the age. The Indian girls
have been married to them at the rate
OF 5000 month, and it is said that
matches ere made at the rate of from
so to 100 day now, even after the
" first-pick" has been made.
This condition OF affairs has been
brought about by the ending OF tribal
rule and and allotment of land, with q
view of absorbing these wards of the gov.
eminent into the body polite of the ma.
ton. The United States has about fin.
ished making out rolls of citizenship for
the Five Tribes, which secures to each
adult male member of the tribes indi.
vidual sovereignty under the Consti.
tuition OF the general government.
While the authorities have made no
open effort to secure white husbands
for the Indian women, they have Ger.
tainly Placed 10 obstacle in the way
OF such unions, and it must be admit.
ted that it will probably be the bes,
means that could be employed to end
the race problem, and introduce into
civilization the robust nature in which
it is lacking through intermarriage OF
men and women of like Temperament,
and disposition, which in the course
OF time exhausts the individuality of q
people and renders them weak physi.
cally and mentally.
The present plan is in high fayo,
yith the Indian maidens. 1t is an in.
nate ambition Of them all to marry
white men, and never before HIS an
opportunity been presented for reali.
cation of their day-dream Of idea

DEATH OF r. G. DUN.-Probably nc
man occupied more prominent po-
sition in commercial circles than the
head of the leading mercantile agency
firm OF r. G. Dun & Co. Their quota
tions of stocks, and forecasts OF
changes have been accepted as author
itative all over the business world.
The head of the firm died in New
York. last Saturday, OF currhosis OF
the liver, from which he had been suf-
fering since last summer. Mr.. ID. was
born at Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1926.
He began his business career at the
age OF 16 in a country store. Early in
life he went to New York and entered
the employ OF the mercantile agency
then conducted by Taunton g. Doug.
las. In 1855, six years after he first
entered the employ of the firm, he be-
came partner of Mr.. Douglas, under
the firm name of C. Douglas & Co.
In 1859 Mr.. Dun purchased the inter-
est in the business held by his partner,
and was senior partner of the firm OF
r. G. Dun & Co. to the time OF his
death. Mrs. Dun survives him.

A Social Object Lesson.

American society people have not
yet forgotten the Juror attendant upon
the marriage of Annie Gould and
Count Castellaine, a short term of
years ago. Well, what sensible New
Workers predicted at that time is now
being quite literally fulfilled.
GEORGE ]. Gould, brother of the
American made countess, went over to
Paris few weeks ago, to look after
the financial interests of his unfortu.
nate and now repentant sister. The
courts of France have made Mr.. Gould
the trustee OF the countess with power
to hold in safe keeping the little mat.
ter of the $4,000 yearly allowance
inherited from the paternal estate.
The spendthrift husband of Annie
Gould, sporting the high sounding
name of Count Boni De Castellaine
having already squandered several mil
lions OF his wife's money, is now prac-
tically nothing but titled bankrupt,
and hence the mission of her brother
in his sisters behalf.
A private letter from Paris states
that Count Castellane is the butt of
ridicule among the aristocratic circles
OF the gay city. The same letter also
contains resume Of the counts social
character and business qualifications.
This estimate appears to be from
French sources and is couched in the
following language:
The impression made upon Parisiaus
OF worldly bent who regularly ASSOCIATE
ed with Count Boni is that he is a man
OF decidedly limited intelligence, usually
accessible to fiattery, inordinately vain,
and always anxious to sstonish and out
do the wealthiest people of Europe"
So this is the report that the men,
bers of the Gould family on this side
of the Atlantic are reading in the pub
lie prints concerning their titled BROTH
| eI-in-law, ana III must be refreshing
indeed.
Well, it is the old story told and
retold so many times that is becoming
as stale as limburger cheese.
1t is one of the chapters in the so.
cial history of our people that Nellie
Grant who married a real live prince"
endured him till he had squandered
her patrimony, and is now living with
her children, a retired and self-accusing
life in an obscure hamlet of England.
Who will be the next American girl to
distinguish and then undo herself by
marrying some scion of European
snobocracy?

a Hasty Admission

1t Is announced, as an immediate
object OF the administration. that an
increase in the L. : army will be
made, to what is deemed a sufficient
force to at once crush out the
rebellion in the Philippines, even
! though this resolution involve the
limit OF determination, ii necessary.
This will he news indeed, after the re-
peated assurances emanatlng from the
War Department, that the insurgents
had been vanquished.
1t is likewise announced that Cuba
will be annexed to the United States,
notwithstanding assurance was given,
by Congressional enactment, before
the war with Spain. that it was to be
waged simply to enable Cubans to
form government OF their own.
1t is announced that, in diplomatic
relations, a policy will be pursued
that will strengthen the ties with Eu-
ropean powers, particularly with Eng
land as against Germany. An in
crease in the naval force is directed
mainly by possible hostility of the
German Empire. The spirit OF an
Anglo-Saxon alliance is to be main
tanned, although it may not he sub
mitted in form Of stipulation on pa
per, and to hasten its contamination
and strengthen the bond, a number of
important concessions will be made
by this government, that could not be
| announced before election. Among
these, is liberal policy in settlement
of Alaskan boundary disputes, in Sc
curing accord On the fishing question,
and specially generous reciprocity
treaty will be made in settlement of
all other bones of contention.
England is expected to stand in
with this government in settlement OF
the Chinese question; and, in fact, the
alliance which has hitherto been a
matter of suspect rather than of con-
viction, and never admitted by the
administration, is no longer secret
The Hanna party has shown that it is
at times not deemed expedient to take
the people into their confidence and
allow the citizen full knowledge Of
what is going on, even in times of
peace, so far as national peril from
existing war is concerned.
Thus it happens that scarcely a
fortnight after the peans of victory
have been shouted, an admission of
the truth of one of the main charges
against the imperial party is admitted
and the policy proclaimed as the first
to go upon the record.
With this beginning, what may we
not expect in the near future? Where
will it end in the four years that the
party of greed has been accorded to
do their will?

WARS COMPLICATIONS = Late dis
patches state that Russia is alarmed
over the present attitude of affairs in
settlement of the China question. 1t
is feared that if the indemnity de-
manded by the powers is maintained
she will be unable to pay it in money,
and they will secure as compensa-
ton railroad, mining and commercial
concessions which will virtually dis.
rupt the empire and separate China
into many antagonistic spheres of in
fiuence. An emigration of the "yel.
low horde" towards European Russia,
will overwhelm that government and
place her amid the second-rate powers.
The same menace extends to our own
country, a favorite refuge from op.
preston as we'll as an inviting field for
