Congressman Cushman has been the
means of bringing this state more prom
inently before the American people than
any one individual whom the people Of
Washington have seen fit TO elect to
congress. He has probably been instru-
mental i'm securing more and greater APP
preparations for this state than any other
representative, and has achieved a nation
al reputation as u debater; and all of the
old "warhorses'' OF the great east have a
Keen respect for hini. He is one of the
few who always holds the great house of
Representative almost to man, when it
is known that lie is TO speak upon a.ques-
ton. Regardless Of whoever else may be
nominated for the other two seats in the
house of representatives, on the repub-
lican tick ct, Mr.. Cushman should be re-
tanned. Asotin county is strongly in
favor of Cushman, and when the repub-
lican county convention selects its dele
gates to the state convention, it should be
known prior to its selection, that the six
delegates from this county will stand for
Mr.. Cushman first, last and all the time.

SHARPLY CONTRASTED

The Chicago Inter Ocean notes that
the historic and fundamental difference
between the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties is in their conception of
the extent of the functions of govern
ment. The typical American Demo-
crat has ever believed that the less
government the better. He would
have government confined to mere
police duties dispensing justice,
punishment of crime, and the national
defense. That is the Jeffersonian the
Dry, departed from often IN practice,
but still persistently held.
The typical American Repub lican,
however, belives that the functions of
government are wider. He believes
that governments not only may, but
should so direct their policies as to
provide larger opportunities for their
people. Therefore he believes i'm a
protective tariff aud in public improve
ments, things which, however the
Democrat may profit by their advant-
ages, he still feels are outside of the
functions Of government.
The typical Populist illogically de-
clared that government should not only
offer opportunities to people, but
should secure their benefits for the
people. Hence he advocated public
warehouse schemes, in order to afford
the farmers stable market, and govern
ment ownership of railways, and other
paternalstic and socialists ideas with
out number.

CUsHMAN MUST BE RETAINED

1t is gratifying to the friends of
Congressman Cushman to note that
the demand for his renomination-and
of course election-is not confined to
his home county or to the counties of
Western Washington. He seems to
stand as well east of the mountains
as he does on the west side. From
away down in the southeastern corner
OF the state comes the following cordial
endorsement of him, taken from the
Asotin Sentinel, and it is safe to say
that in its good opinion the people OF
this county, which has the same rep
resentation in the state convention,
as Asotin, most heartily concur. The
Sentinel says:

Warrington in either branch Of congress,

FOR AUDITOR AND CLERK

Considerable interest is now being
manifested i'm county politics and there
is much speculation rs to who will be
the probable nominees for the various
offices. |, happens that County Treas
urer Tucker aud Prosecuting Attorney
Thacker are the only ones of the pres
ent officials who are eligible for renom-
inatiou. Much regret is expressed
throughout the county that the consti-
tutional limitation of term will prevent
the denomination of the pr esent excep-
tionally efficient aud popular auditor,
Mr.. Clark, and it is undoubtedly sim
cerely hoped by all who are in any de-
gree familiar with his work that some
plan may be devised to retain him ia
the service of the county in some ca
pacity, where the commissioners and
other officials can have the benefit of
his varied and accusrate knowledge of
accounts, surveying, plating, etc. One
suggestion that has considerable merit
is that he be nominated for the office Of
clerk from which Mr.. FARMLAND, the
present incumbent, must retire, and
that the latter, who, like Mr.. Clark, is
fine penman and a careful man, be
nominated for auditor. If the arrange
ment should not prove satisfactory
after a fair trial an exchange could
readily aud legally be effected by resig-
nation and appointment. These gen
tlemen are both adverse to personally
pushing their candidacy for any place,
but the ISLANDER can assure the Re
publicans of the county that If the
nominations suggested are rendered to
Messrs. Clark and FARMLAND they will
be accepted. The people of the county
generally can rest assured of a continu-
auce of efficient service i'm the offices
mentioned if such an arrangement is
effected.
