RAILROAD TO RESERVATION
A. v. Mcdonald Will Contract With the
Northern Pacific.

A. V. Mcdonald, who had contract
on the peninsular extension of the
Northern Pacific railroad under G. II
Henry last year, came over from Seattle
last Wednesday and took passage on 6
hand car for the end OF that line of ex
tension. TIE Northern Pacific has made
an offer to Mr.. Mcdonald to complete
the road to the reservation. 1t appears
that Mr.. Swank. who was over the road
has not the necessary equipment to dc
the work at once. while Mr.. Mcdonald
has. A part of it is still down on the
road north of the Humptulips crossing
Mr.. Mcdonald says if he takes the
contract he will push the road to com
pletion at the earliest day possible. Th'
construction OF depo's, side tracks
section houses. etc, are now under con
sideration and plans are being drawn.
The plans call far sidetrack OF
Crisis prairie, and the siding will be
about two and one half miles back o
"The Rocks" and Iron Springs hote
and from it to the beach there is an easy
grade for road and spur track

PRESIDENTS JUNKET.

Why is it that the papers generally
had so little to say about the outrageous
conduct Of the president in permitting
railroads to pay the expenses Of his long
trip? They have not even mentioned
Congressman Bakers attempts to have
the government pay the bill. Not so the
Springfield republican. After commend
ing Mr.. Bakers attempts, in leading
editorial, speaks out in healthy reproof
OF the presidents conduct, as follows !:
''There can be no defense OF such con-
duct. 1t would be bad enough for the
president to accept free transportation
in the course OF ordinary travel 1t is
much worse--scandalous, in fact--for
him to accept q special train with food,
etc., for himself and party in a long
turn about the country for the obvious
purpose of strengthening himself before
the people for nomination and election
this year"

A TRUE DEMOCRAT.

A true democrat will insist on subor-
dinating individuals to principle. He
will insist on the principles expressed in
the party platform being the concensus
OF opinions emanating from the minds
of the rank and file.
No political partisan will resent dicta'
ton from above more quickly than he,
but he will always bow to the will OF the
majority when such majority is unques-
tionably the full and free expression OF
his party.
Candidates for Office are presumed to
be the embodiment of party ideals, but
it is hardly fair to be too severe in
catechising prospective candidates as to
their individual opinions unless there is
a we'll grounded fear that after election
the party's standard will follow
his own ideas instead of carrying out the
policies as outlined by the party con-
venticn.
Where is there good reason for such
fear the candidate should not receive
serious consideration.
A democrat who will promulgate his
pet theories of platform planks and an
nounce that unless the platform of the
party is constructed in accordance with
hi. peculiar views, he will have none OF
it, places himself in the attitude OF q
dictator to his party and even though
no fault can be found with his position,
modesty should forbid such democrat
from unsurping the prercgatives OF TIE
party's representatives in convention
assembled.
The ideal democratic candidate is the
man who is willing to say:
Gentlemen. have personal convic-
tions in common with all rational men.
1 seek to become your candidate for the
purpose Of serving my party by giving
living, vital force to those principles
which you, in your wisdom, will or have
announced as your platform.
No man who is unwilling to surrender
some of his own convictions for the good
of the majority will make safe candi'
date. And under this view there seems
to be no crying necessity for candidate
to herald forth platform of his own.
The party is supposed to make the
platform, the candidate is to stand on it..
If fortunately, the platform is such
that it does not vary from the personal
convictions OF the candidate, so much
the better, but allow the platform to
allow the platform to come from the
ranks, do not ask it, or permit it, to
come from the genera,s.-The Olympia
Taxpayers.

NEW WAY TO COLLECT DEBTS.

A recent decision OF the United States
supreme court in the case OF South
Dakota against North Carolina suggests
possibilities of simply stupendous inn
port 1t may lead to judgments against
the Southern states amounting to be-
tween 100000. 900 and $SOO,OOO,0OO.
Bonds to this enormous amount when
arrears of interest are added were issued
in the reconstruction period Of reckless.
mess and corruption by eleved Southern
states, and were afterwards repudiated.
The holders, being private citizens, could
not sue upon them, and they have re.
NAMED tucked away in desks and safes
for thirty or more years. Undoubtedly
many of them have even been destroyed
as waste paper.
Mr.. Simon Schaffer, a New York
broker, had some OF North Cardinals
repudiated bonds. South Dakota had .
law requiring the acceptance and collec.
ton OF an donations. Mr.. Schaffer pre-
scented South Dakota with ten Of his
bonds, and that state brought suit in
the federal courts.
The supreme court has decided in its
favor for the sum of $27 400 and decreed
that if North Carolina does not pay by
the first Monday in January, 1905, the
United States marshal shall seize suf-
ficient OF the states property to satisfy
the judgment and sell it Eat the east
front door Of the capitol,in Washington. )"
The prospect for the eleven Southern
states is nothing less than appalling.
Any holder OF such bonds can give or
sell them to any state, state university
or any state institution, and they can
then be sued on and collected up to the
value of the public property OF the de-
PENDANT state.
AS the decision OF the supreme court
is unqualified and fnal, there ought to
BE- ready market for these bonds at a
discount sufficient to cover the cost OF a
suit. 1t is not unlikely that desperate
nffa hf do hue ~ <,f
the unfortunate debtor states to effect
some kind OF compromise with the
holders of the bonds if they can be
traced. In any case the possibilities as
has been said, are stupendous.-P. l.

1t is territorial monopoly that obliges
men, unwillingly, to see vast tracts OF
land lying waste, or negligently and
imperfectly cultivated, while they are
subject to the miserias of want. If land
we're perpetually open to him, who was
willing to cultivate it, it is not to be be-
lieved that it would be cultivated in pro.
portion to the wants OF the community
nor by the same reason would there be
any effectual check to the increase OF
population.

Mr.. ]. B. Lewright. Texas lawyer,
has made a commendable attack upon
the evils OF the railway pass. He makes
the attack as a railway stakeholder and
in the courts, asking for an injunction
against the San Antonio 4 Arkansas Pass
railway, restraining it from issuing free
passes to members of the legislature,
Judges and other public officials. He
bases his suit upon the claim that if free
passes were not granted the company
would either pay dividends or give the
public better service. Not only does he
ask an injunction, but he demands that
outstanding passes be Cancelled.

Ba- ron Munchausen. whom I encountered somewhere along the middle of the eigh- teenth century, it has never been my good fortune to meet, and it has been. a matter of surprise to me that with the advance of years he has come to be regarded by most people as a person of rather loose ideals in respect to veracity, It is true that in conversation with him one was more likely than not to hear of some marvellous exploit in which he hime self figured eonspicuolsly. but whatever he told was. told 80 bimply. so unhesi- tatingly and with such genuine and un- affected ruodesty that tit never occurred to any of us to doubt the truth of what he said for a single instant.
 At the Army and Navy Club of Bo- denwender. where first met him. he was known as "old Ahldavlts." for this very confidence that everyone placed in his statements and in that day had any stranger. a visitor to the club, shown the slightest incredulity with reference to the Baron's stories he would have certainly been shown the door and would have been mighty lucky to escape ShaAenBe 10 a ouel With some one of the Baron's friends. Moreover, Munchausen always held himself in readiness to prove the truth of his stories, not so much by eyewitnesses as by the more convincing testimony of certain material demonstrations in kind.
