Portland as its chief Pacific city.
Captain j. G. Ainsw Orth, at the head
of the Oregon Hallway u Navigation
company, was the Pacific coast director
of and manager for the Northern Pa

resident of Portland. Colonel Black,
the local superintendent of the railroad

the genial and very courteous Pacific
Coast director, Captain Answorth,
Colonel Black was naughty and AFRO

their prosperity were not worthy of

New Tacoma was strictly Il abroad

ly or indirectly upon the railroad for
their support. Those dwelling along
the line of the railroad were similarly
situated; and over all these people Col

Francis Fl. Cook, author OF the FOL

1871 For three wears he was editor
and publisher OF the Olympia Echo
Later he started the Tacoma Herald,
the first paper in that city. lie was
elected to the territorial legislature
and was chosen president OF the council
In 1879 he came to eastern Washington
and started the SpokaneTlmes, the llrst
paper 10 this city. The first two issues
of the Times were printed in ColfaX'
as the roads were so bad that Mr.. COOK
could not get his newspaper PRINT ihto

the first issues of the Times to SPOKANE

In order to understand more clearly
the present effort of the railroad cor

and to make effective use OF our state

recall somewhat similar state IN poll

moderation and a little less of party
spirit might have averted Our sec
sectional war, ought it be plain to
thinking men that the course of
over confidence on which we are
launched must inevitable lead to
conditions equally battling to the
craftsmanship of the future. Pray
Heaven that they be not so ruin
Gus and tragical: but that, under
God, it shall be the destiny of the
republic to vary the experience of
human kind and to work out with
out bloodslcd the problems of
popular government to some hither-
to unknown and benign conclusion.
Looking back over the circum-
stances of the campaign now end
ed the Courier Journal has nothing
to regret, or retraCt. We have
given expression to our true be
lietS, aCCcptinr alternatives, not Of
our own making, with good grace
and putting forth our uttcrmost i'll
the cause of the right as we were
able to see it. We had great con-
fdencc in the election of the demo
cratic ticket. In no political battle
that we recall has it seemed to us
that so much to condemn appeared
upon a single side, or was so plain
" visible. We believed that there
was virtue and intelligence enough
in the voters to see this, and to re-
sent it at the ballot-box, though
only as rcbuke to ovcrlordism and
partyism, quite lost to the sense of
good citizenship and fidelity to the
state.
The result shows that we over
sized the spiritual and understood
the material in the hearts and
minds of the people. They were
deaf alike to precedents, to reason
and to eloquenCe; for nothing could
surpass, as nothing has ever equal
ed, the personal canvass of Mr..
BRYAN: its WondrOus luCidity and
power Of statement, its splendid
intellectual and physical endur-
anCe: its unanswcrable argument.
Nor did Ignatius of Lovola sweep
through world of inCarnate evil
bearing rhe Cross of Jesus to
triumph with greater force Of in
SEPARATION and truth than did the
heroic son of Nebraska traverse
land gaping with curiosity but too
busy over its work ard play to
consider any danger to the immor-
tai soul of its constitutional fabric

history, when Hayes IS forgotten,
or eXcCratcd. History will say of
Bryan that in three great popular
movements, clouded sometimes by
errors of judgement and obStructcd
always by cOrruption-aS we now
know by insurmOuntable Corrup-
tion-he led sublimely; that he set
before his Countrymen the stand
ards alike of God and truth; and
that he went down beaten with
clean hands and high reputc, car
rying with him the homage Of
patriotic men.
In the national government the
oligarchism of privilege finds itself
stronger entrcnChed than ever be-
fore. Its fortress is unasSailable.
1t can never be driven out short of
its own dissolution, or some dire
cataclysm, bringing ruin in its
train. Yet, vanquisled as the
democratic party is, it has not been
so one with itself i'll many day,
and it owes renewed Loyalty to its
public service. This should be
maintained equally in defeat and
in victory. There must be sys-
tcmatic and enlightened opposition.
How this shall arrange itself and
who shall lead it, will appear i'll
good season.
Old time democrats will wait and
keep their powder dry. If they
should despair, if they should break
apart, the country would be expos
cd to political anarchy leading
through radicalism and excuses Of
every sort to practical irresponsi-
blty on the one hand, unregcncr-
ate dcbauchery backed by rcsistless
force on the other hand. We may
be a power for good though beaten
and in opposition. Seven millions
of votes are never to be despised in
case they hold together. Many
states remain to us. The constitute
ton of the United states has rot
been abolished yet, nor institution
al freedom, nor wise and upright
administration, and these are still
worth fighting for.
SO, amid the unneighborly and
unpatriotic voCiferation of the re-
publcans, the jubilation and in
tolerance of the nondcsCripts flock
ing to the winning side, the blatant
bullying Of the leaders alike of
predatory wealth and of plumber
ing politics let us sit steady III

And Now. | do not KNOW,
said Edmund Burke, the method
ofdrawing up an indictment against
whole people. Neither does the
Courier. Journal. The result of last
TUESDAYS election shows conclu-
siyelv that a great majority OF the
people of the controlling section of
the union are we'll content with
things as they are; that it is better
to endure the conceded shortCom
ing of the party in power than EN-
bark upon an unknown sea OF con-
tinuous agitation that Bryan
meant this whilst Taft meant est;
in short that a dollar, though faint
ed in hand, is worth bushfull of
patriotic distractions.
The idiosyncrasy of the time is
commerce. AS III the last century
it was liberty reaching out after in
stitutional freedom-and neasur-
ably attaining it's it now nnateri-
alism reaching out after markets.
The average voter of better eduCa-
ton and intelligence takes no
thought of the hereafter, and is
even more Indifferent to the here
tofore. He is completely engrossed
by the present. That which Ba-
con calls the wisdom of our an
cestors," makes as little appeal to
his reverence OF reason as that
which Burns calls light from
Heaven makes to his imagination.
He would not exchange the cur
rent crop reports, with raising
price list, for all the books that
were ever written upon political
economy. He either carries the
food or the vicinage with him, or
else raises enough dust to blind his
eyes and disarm his suffrage.
We need take no account here of
the agencies of organization and
corruption, though both may be
seen clearly enough. They show
so plainly in the nomination and
election of the successful candidate
as to make it apparent that whole
regiments Of the people are no long
er appalled, by anything, however
immoral and wrong, that does not
touch their pockets. Even those
that preach the simple life in the
magazines of the east are deaf to
the drum taps of conscience. Nay,
be that shrikes righteousness
from the highest places is found
often practicing fraud in the lowest

OF literature and journalism and

1t is the part neither of common
sense, nor of upright manhood, in
the vanquished to kick against the
picks. Let us hope and believe
mat, despite its pharasaism and de-
nlement, politics is not war, nor
party lines yet lines of battle. The
