tent leadership, might reamnahly i-i

House, but. if it lu‘t'utnt‘a apparent
that they are determined to revive
the Presidential contest, and threaten
the Chici Executive of the nation re
garding a matter which has been set
tied in a peaceful and legal way. the
people will be sure to send enough
Republican members to the next
Congress to forever bury the «pc -
tion from sight. If this attempt toi
unseat the President shows signs ot
success, the inevitable result will he
a bloodv revolution. If the Demo
crats are willing to plunge our eonn.
try into such a state of atl'airs merely i
to gratify the personal ambition of
'l‘ilder, or to satisfy their inordinate
greed of power, patronage and plan
der, then let them stand squarely on
the issue and abide, by its legitimate
eonsequenccs. We can beat judge
of the future of this matter by its
past. That it is the result of mature
planning and deliberate Working,
there can be no doubt. That it is
deplored and opposed by such Deni- i
ocratic leaders as Alexander 11.
Stevens, is evidence that the party,‘
by forcing: the game, will lose a large
portion of its most valuable element.i
An opinion, as given by a promi
nent Republican Senator in Wash-i
ington,givas as nearly as possible
the present situation. \thn told of
the passage of the Potter resolution.
be said: “ Here this thing has passed
and not more than a third of the
Democrats voting: for it want it, and
seven-eights of the' Republicans op
posing it are glad to see it passed.“
A few anti Hayes Republicans are
pleased with the movement, simply
because it assails the Adlninistration.i
but those. who do not share in thesei
short-sighted views regard the whole
thing as a Democratic blunder which
is sure to roam. on that party. It is
a significant fact that when Aiexan
der Stevens wanted to speak upon
the question he was howled down by
members of his own pa-ty. They
evidently felt afraid to allow his
views, having the weight of candor
and long experience. to be expressed
upon the matter. Silenced “for the
first time by the House, and by his
own party, Stevens was heard tofisay
privately: “But the time will come
when they will be glad to hear me.”
This remark suggests something
ahead of a different character, and
which may have been entirely over
,loolted by the hasty leaders of to-day.
The resolution barely passed, and
that after a severe application of the
party caucus whip. It was for an in
vestigation into the conduct of the
Presidential election in Florida aml
Lousiana. No amendments were
allowed, which shows effectually
that they dreaded to accede to the
demand from the Republican side of
the House to carry the investigation
into Oregon and South Carolina.
The sauce for the goose, in this in
stance, does not seem to prove as
savory as it might be for the gander.
The wish seems to he to make polit
ical capital out of the matter whether
the prime object is attained or not.
A review of the facts cannot but
impress all honorable men alike.
When the crisis was pending, all
these charges Were first made. It
was then seen if they were all gone,
into the country would be thrown
into peril and confusion, and that in
the absence of final authority the re
sult might be civil war. To avert
the danger, and obtain a means of
final settlement, the Electoral Com
mission was created, and it was then‘
formally agreed by both parties that
its decision should be binding aml
final. In View of all this, the pres
ent democratit- movement will fasten
upon its leaders the n'liargo 01‘ lord
faith and unpatriotic motives. The
whole question will speedily resolve
itself, if pushed liy its lun-kvrsjnto a
struggle for maintaining law and or
der and the L'. S. (.‘mvernment.

iathe te~t til. \‘ii'tot‘y or defeat for
Republican or Democrat. 'l‘he cle
un-nts arrayed on either side are not
unfairly represented in our headi‘ng.
()u the one side, disappointed ollice~
seekers and monopoly holders are
united with democrats to defeat the
republican party.
The true strength ofa state or na
tion is. in her agricultural resources,
and no monopoly is more to be de
plorcd than one which throttles the
life of a farming community and
prevent»: its development. This the
t). S. N. Company has been for many
years doing with the people of East
ern \Vashington and Oregon, bya
system of extortionate freights and
outrageous charges. Millions of
dollars have been ground out of
hard listed farmers, on freights for
necessaries of life brought from
abroad, and millions more have been ‘
taxed on the products of the 50”,}
raised by them, which could only;
find market over the route of the 0.;
S. N. (‘ompany. ()ne exunple will}
illustrate the. state of atl'airs clearly. l
A citiyon of Port Townsend had twol
packages sent him from \Valla \Vallal
to this place. They cost in \anla
Walla $13.50, and weighed about 400
pounds each. The freight was 867.
About the same time the same per
son had one package, weighing about
its much as both those from \Valla
\Vulla, sent to him front Philadel
phia. lt came by way of Cape Horn,
traveled many thousands of miles.
and the freight. on it was $6, or, al
trifle less than one-eleventh the coati
J” the same amount of freight from |
\Valla \Valla. On account of the l
leterrnined etforts of the republican ‘
Senator from Oregon to open the‘
Columbia river to free navigation,
this 0. S. N. Company has jotned}
forces with Scott, of the “()regong
l'lll,” (removed as Collector of Cos-t
toms at Portland, some time since)l
and both these-—tnonopolists and‘
sorevhuads—are working hand andi
glove with the democrats to crush
out Republicanism in Oregon. I
To the good citizen, to the manl
who, casting his lot in this western‘
country, has most at ‘heart its true
welfare and hastened prosperity, l
there can be but one hope regarding i
the result, and that is republican vic- i
tory; for republican victory means
not democratic defeat alone butl
more—it means the defeat of monop
ololists, the disappointmentof sore
heads and the opening of a free path
way to Eastern Washington and‘
Oregon, along the Columbia.
IX’I‘ERES’I‘XNUr-OUI‘ late telegraph
ic advices indicate that, there is a.
likelihood of the Indian reservations
in this territory (13 in all) being re
«lncedin number to but 3, viz., the
Puyallup, Neah Bay and Colville.
ltis also expected that the care of
the Indians will be again given to
the \\"ar Department. “'e do not
believe that either change, ifefl'ected
can be beneficial; and, in the former
case, serious evils will surely result.
Nu room for comments this week.
THE action of the Democratic par
ty in renewing the Presidential
troubles is like a bluhbering school
boy who, after having agreed to leave
a question out to arbitration, will not
abide by the decision which ho had
fairly authorized.
Tm: wife of Maj. \Vm. (l. Morris,
Special U. S. Treasury Agent, will
lenve this plnce for San Francisco
when the Dakota goes down again.
The Dakota’s speed seems to be
int-rousing. Her last running time
be tween Victoria and San Francisco
was U?) hours only.

Democrats at \Vnshington propose
to evolve new points of the “great
fraud," in order that they may have
something to scream about and rouse
the country withal; no number of
them are fool enough tqsuppose that
they can dispossess Hayes; but they
want to keep up the cry of “fraud"
for political effect—Ex.
An explosion recently «mun-red in
Minnesota by which six large flour
ing mills, having nearly a. hundred
run of stone, were destroyed. The
cause was thought to lie in the fact
that flour dust is very inflammable,
and that. gases are generated in its
production.
