Commerce, asking for faster trains on
the Gray's Harbor line, reply that it

The Chamber, it seems, had not taken

Northern Pacific Acquires the Local Road.
The news comes from Seattle that
the Port Townsend Southern railroad,
lately owned by the Pacific Coast Co.
has been transferred to the Northern
Pacific Railway Co., and will hereafter
be operated as part of its system.
The new officers as announced are
President, /. A. Nadeau, Seatt lie; Vice
President, Charles 8. Mellen, st. Paul
Secretary. George H. Earl, New York
Assistant Secretary, A. G. Avery, Ia
coma; Treasurer, C. A. Clark, st.
Paul; Auditor, NJ. P. Martin, ST. Paul
Messrs. Earl, Clark and Martin hold
similar positions with the Northern
Pacific. The trustees are Charles s.
Mellen, A. E. Law, B. 8. Grosscup
Thomas Cooper and I. A. Nadeau.
While no intimation regarding fu.
ture policy has come from st. Paul,
it is believed by local railroad men
that the Port Townsend Southern will
be operated rs part OF the Northern
Pacific system under the direction oil
Assistant General Su perintendent, E.
A. Law.
In the event this policy is pursued,
the Olympia and Tenino branch could
be used by the Northern Pacific's
Olympia.Portland trains to shorten
their mileage considerably and reduce
the time between Seattle and Portland.
At the same time the Gray's Harbor
trains would give the service fol-
Northern Pacific towns lying south oil
Olympia that is required.
Within the past two years the
Northern Pacific has acquired the
Port Townsend Southern, the Everett
& Monte Cristo, Bellingham Bay &
British Columbia, and Washington
Central.

THE Governor has been imp ortuned
for Communication of the death SEN
tence OF A. P. Vance, who was
sentenced to hang on Jan 9th, to i'm
prisonment for life. 1t seems that
the request is based upon the recon-
mendation of the jury for mercy,
which was incompatible with the
finding-the most merciful act Of the
hangman being to do his work ex-
peditiously and we'll. If the jury's
feelings had been worked upon so
powerfully as to enlist sympathy, it
should have been manifested by o
different verdict. The newspaper &C.
counts lead the public to believe the
act was deliberate murder, and if that
be 90, the law should be enforced.

posed by the Secretary Of War last year.

gress: 1t would be we well ii q Congress

It would be both unwise and unneces.

Exhileraticn Of Drinking.

It has remained for a French scien-
tist-Dr. Pitoy-to announce by cable
to the Chicago Tribune that he had
discovered the hilarious mico-organ-
isms in vinous, malt and ardent spirits,
and method to eradicate them,
whereby all exhilerating beverages
may be made innocuous to the health
or reputation Of heavy drinkers. The
learned doctor claims that he has dis
covered a new method for fcrmenta-
ton, by which the alcoholic principle
is entirely removed, or escapes into
thin air, by which beers, wines and
liquors submitted TO the new process
emerge as temperance beverages.
1t seems to those who have had a
moderate degree of experience in such
matters that the removal of alcohol
from any Of the drinks presented at
the convivial gathering would be to
deprive it vi the quality that promotes
the very object to be attained
feast of reason and flow OF SOUL"
Very few people-unless it be those
old topers, who have perverted the
gustatory habit so completely as to
defy the overpowering effects of high
proof ardent spirits-can bear the test
of swallowing liquor without grimaces
a quick "chaser" of water to remove
the burning effect upon the tender
membrane OF the throat. II choice
were to be. based upon taste for such bev-
erages, it is safe to say, liking would
never be acquired. 1t is the exhiler-
alton, back OF it, which is the Delilah
of the drunkard. That is due solely to
the alcohol. Eliminate it, and wine,
or whisky, or beer, would hardly pos
sess the attractivess of the lemonade,
or soda water, or any other "soft"
drink, which, if it does not please the
palate of all people, surely ofiends the
taste of none.
While the ability to swallow with.
out flinching the high.proof spirits, is
an art which requires considerable ex-
perience to acquire, there is no doubt
but that it may, in the course OF time
become, like the admonitions of con.
science, considerably blunted, if not
entirely removed, by persistent habit.
But the reward of perseverance seems
to he adequate compensation for some
punishment, and that maintains the
ever.present victims OF strong drink.
Whenever medical research may dis
cover some means of exhileration Of
the physical system without the re-
Taxation that follows stimulation !;
whenever it can find substitute for
alcohol which will accelerate the heart
beats without injury to that organ or
to the veinous or aterial systems, we
may expect the introduction of tenn
perance" drinks which will supplant
alcoholic liquors-and not till then.

Elma a "Wide Open" Town.

A special dispatch from the little
town OF Elma, if it be true, indicates
that the smaller common ealths can
become good second to the big cities
in the race for swift life. 1t is said
that the late saloon fire has unearthed
a scandal which for turpitude rivals
New York, Chicago or indeed Paree,'
which is said to be veritable hot-bed
Of vice. The facts came to light from
objection to its reconstruction within
the city limits. The account says
that investigation shows the site OF
the burned premises was covered by an
designation house, where licentiOus-
ness reigned equal to that ascribed to
the luxurious days of Greece and
Rome. In the saloon in question, one
night, a sudden official visit revealed
four well-known women Of Elma, and
a 15-year-old school girl posing in the

nude, and only slightly under the in.
lluence of liquor. They were not so.
called women OF the town, but those
who moved in the higher classes OF
society as they exist in Elma. Two
of the number were sisters and mar
ried. Their husbands had been alb
sent for some time, but hitherto not a
breath of scandal had blighted their
characters. Rumors of orgies still
more revolving are rife, but it is diff
cult to find witnesses willing to testify
to what they have seen.
In case the saloon proprietor does
not insist upon rebuilding, the scandal
may be dropped, but if he insists upon
re-opening in the business center, q
legal prosecution will be instituted
and Elma develop the biggest scandal
known in the history OF the State.
1t is now believed that the fire was
deliberately set to rid the town OF
these appalling mignight orgies.
REFINED SwIxDLE" Was KRUPp's
PENSION SYSTEM.-The Socialist pa.
pers of Germany respectfully protest
against the idolizing of Herr Krupp
as o benevolent man, in any respect.
They claim that he was sordid to the
extent of meanness, and instances the
pension system formulated by h i'm as
ga species of refined swindling." That
fund is built up OF enforced contri-
buttons of p per cent. of wages OF en-
ployes for 20 years, before they are
eligible for pension from disability.
Like some Of the tempting insurance
systems, the main reliance for profit is
based upon lapse of policies. Twenty
years is long time to serve to partici-
pate in these benefits-nearly twice as
long as Jacob served for both Rachel
and Leah-and there need be no sur.
prise that many fall by the wayside
before reaching benefit from q we'll.
paid policy. It is claimed that from
1000 to 6, 900 men have been discharged
on trifling pretexts yearly, which leaves
reason for surmise that the whole plan
was conceived a. a financial scheme
for advancing the already overlooking
riches Of the great gunmaker.

Election by Legislature.

The voters Of the State having failed to
give any candidate for governor and lieu
tenant governor a majority over all oppo-
nents. the choice of these officers now
passes in accordance with our constitution
to the Legislature. and public interest now
centers in the contest in that body and the
manner in which the election is conducted.
The Legislature meets biennially the first
Wednesday in October which falls this
year on the first day of the month. The
secretary OF state calls the House to order
and presdes until after the election of a
speaker, while the Senate is called to order
by the present presiding officer of that
body. After organization the Senate is re-
quired to appoint committee consisting
of one senator from each county to act in
conjunction with similar committee of
three representatives from each county
appointed by the House on the nomination
OF the speaker, for the purpose of canvass
ing the votes for governor. lieutenant-gov-
ernor and state treasurer.
When the official canvass of the votes
shows that there has been no election by
the people, the Legislature will then pro-
coed to act under article Q of the amend
ments to the Constitution. which provides
that, "If at any time, there shall be nc
election, by the freemen, of governor. lieu
tenant-governor and treasurer, of the
State, the Senate and House OF Represen
tatives SHALL by joint ballot, elect tt
fill the office, not filed by the freemen a.
aforesaid, one of the three candidates fol
such office, III there be so many for whom
the greatest number Of votes shall hav,
been returned"
In order to give our readers further In
formation in relation to the manner o
procedure In the event Of the necessity o
electing a governor and lieutenant COVER
!, nor by the Legislature we turned t
the hle of the FREE PRESS for 1853. tn

and we found that the political situatio
