“THE GRIP OF PARTISANSHIP
FROM THE THROAT OF
PATRIOTISM .”
National Dewtoerat, Washington, D. C.:
“Who would tear the grip of partisanship
from the throat of patriotism?” was the
striking question that the lion. Will Corn
back, of Indiana, asked a New York
audience which he was lecturing one
evening last week.
Is It possible that partisanship can be
base enough to grip the throat of patriot
ism? It is, and we can show what par
tisanship it is that is trying to choke the
breath of life out of the noblest of all
human passions
Twenty-five years ago this country was
involved in civil war. After the end of
the war the defeated section accepted the
political and commercial results of the
battle field with more alacrity and good
faith than a defeated party had ever be
fore displayed. From that time to the
present day there has never been a single
incident to justify the suspicion that the
people of the south were not as loyal to
the union as the people of the north.
The readiness with which both parties
after the civil war laid aside their wea
pons and returned to the arts of peace
and so far as the masses of the people
are concerned, have ever since cooperated
far the common good of a glorious coun
try, is the moat magnificent thing in hu
man history. Its contemplation is some
thing to make every American proud-that
be is an American. And yet all the pol
iticians of the republican party deny the
existence of this crowning glory of Amer
ican citizenship, and for twenty-five years
almost their entire stock in trade has
been the denunciation of the people of
the sooth as disloyal, and their favorite
appeal has been to the base and the base
less suspicion and distrust of the sooth
entertained in the north. Last year,
while the orators and editors of the dem
ocratic party were discussing the best
means of promoting the common good,
about which it is inevitable that men of
equal intelligence and patriotism should
Judge differently, the orators and editors
of the republican party were appealing to
the people of the north to “vote as they
shot;” to rally to the defence of their
country, as though it were in any dan
ger ;to defeat the people of the south; to
rescue the country from the control of
“rebels.”
Has not republican partisanship sunk
Its claws into the throat of patriotism.
The republican party as a political or
ganisation, and with doe regard to abun
dant individual exceptions, has forgotten
all about country; it has lost all sense of
American dtissosbip. To it the southern
states are conquered territory; the people
of the sooth are to them what the inhab
itants of Alsace and Loraine are to the
Hermans; one-half the people of this
country have been brought op to believe
that the other half consist of public ene
mies from whom the government is to be
saved every four years.
What more frightful example could we
have of partisanship with its maniac grip
upon the throat of patriotism?
The republicans think they love the
United States of America, but they only
love the republican states. The republi
can is carefully taught from his youth up
that the southern democrat is a traitor
simply waiting for a favorable opportu
nity to arise and destroy the United
States, and that the northern democrat is
indifferent, if not actually hostile, to the
prosperity of- his native land, and is
working constantly, sometimes in con
sideration of foreign bribes, to impoverish
his country for the enrichment of other
nations.
This state of things would be I neon- 1
celvable, if it were not a fact right before ’
oar eyes. There are probably innocent, 1
thoughtless republicans who do not be- «
lieve all this. To them we will address a
few questions.
What doer it mean when republican
politicians attribute every democratic sue- ,
esas on the national or local field to fraud ?
What does H mean when the republican !
orator* announce a republican victory as
the coming of the republican party “into
Ha own again?" What does it mean !
whan the loyalty of Lamar, or Hampton,
• or Morgan la disputed, General Bragg, of
Wisconsin, is expelled from a republican
grand army post, sad Henator Ingalls is ,
applauded for accusing two Union gen
eral*, Vho were democratic candidates for
the presidency, of being “allies of the
Confederacy,” while Mahone end Chal
mers are deemed “loyal?” It means that
an far as it can be accomplished the grip
of republican partisanship upon the
throat of patriotism has completed its
■wlol work ; that the republican politi
cian has sank his country entirely in his
faciionism; that be knows of nothing
higher and greater to be loyal to than bis
party: that party and country are to him
Interchangeable terms; that loyalty to
the republican party is to him loyalty to
the country, and hostility to bis party is
to him all the enmity to his country that
his dwarfed soul can oon-ceive of.
PMttaanahip can sink no lower; the
spirit of faction can do the country no
greater wrong.
The republican party has degraded the
flag of the United mates by mak
ing a party badge of it. It has, in its
ineffable vulgarity, imagined it waa hon
oring lb# star and stripes when it has
Mown its disgusting nose upon what
brave mm have died for. It has taught
the young to disbelieve in the very exist
ence of love of country by accusing all its
political opponents of being traitors or
under foreign influence. It baa habitually
insulted the men who fought for national
unity a quarter of a century ago by pro
scribing all who were not of Its party and
giving every preference to the men who
fought against national unity over the
men who fought against the republican
party.
We are citizens of a magnificent coun
try. It baa a great history and it has a
greater future. The democratic party be
longs to no one corner of it, but it thrives
in every state and territory. It believes
that the sectional republican party is pur
suing a sectional policy, but it has never
stooped to the baseness of accusing hall
the American people of being hired by
foreign nations to betray the interests of
their native land, though republican pol
icy has that effect. It has never lost
sight of the fact that the nation is greater
than party, and it has never*coolused
party loyalty with loyalty to the nation.
The democratic party is the party of
one united country, whose children will
differ in regard to this or that piece of
legislation, but will be absolutely united
in their love of their native land.
It is its duty to wrench the grip of re
publican partisanship from the throat of
patriotism.
Tub Ellensburgh State Register has very
nearly bad a paralytic stroke over the
modest intimation of the Hbealo that
various relief committees in the cities
visited by fire should give a report of
their trust. The Hbeald stated that
there had been reports that a portion of
the funds subscribed for the relief of the
suffers at Ellensburgh had been used in
improving the streets and for other pur
poses. The Register says that relief funds
have been used for street improvements
and then goes on in a strain of violent
invective against the Hbealo and its edi
tor. Such a course is not only unbecom
ing but indicative of an attempt to cover
up something with words. Dr. Hare,
the secretary of the Ellensburg relief
committee, writes a seemlv letter in
which he says that EUensburgh’s dona
tion to Spokane Falls was from the relief
funds and was the same amount previ
ously received from that city, and that
the committe will in due time make 'a
report. That is as It should be, but the
.newspaper palaver about “stricken El
lensburgb's generosity to her sister city”
was uncalled for.
Tub Kl lens burgh Regitter, not content
with the statement of the Hkbau) that
not a cent of Northern Pacific money was
used to advance the interests of North
Yakima in the capital contest, says “the
company most have paid its subscription
in corner lots.” The company not only
did not pay a dollar to any capital fund,
but it did not give any lots or property
whatever, or emleavor in any way to ad
vance the interests of North Yakima.
The Northern Pocific railroad has but
meagre possessions here—far less than it
has in Ellensburgh; and the cry put
forth by our opponents that North Yaki
ma is a Northern Pacific town is folly and
cannot be borne out by facts. The only
railroad company that took any stand in
the contest was the O. R. A N., and it
threw its influence and spent its money
for Olympia. Walla Walla and other
places to the east that cast such heavy
votes for Olympia were voting for the
company which has been sapping the
blood from the heart arteries of their
prosperity by excessive freight tariffs.
Tux large and rapidly increasing sub
scription list of the Yakima Hebalo is
an earnest endorsement of its efforts to
furnish the people with a Journal which
all men can afford to take because of its
endeavor to treat all men and meas
ures fairly and to give the local and
general news of the day in a succinct and
attractive form. It has labored above all
things to secure for North Yakima and
Yakima county those things that will
inure to the greatest good of this section
and in this direction its influence will be
constantly directed. That this work is
appreciated is shown by the liberal pub
lic support given it and it is a matter of
great pride and satisfaction to the Hbbald
publishers that this is se.
KxxKXßsmoH comes to the fore bravely
with two candidates for the office of
United States marshal. One is A. N.
Hamilton, of the Capita/ newspaper, and
the other is Dr. W. H. Hare. The other
candidates, so far aa heard from, areT. J.
V. Clark, of North Yakima, and General
A. P. Curry, of Spokane Falls.
Tub postmaster general has designated
“Wash.” as the abbreviation of the state
of Washington. This will be hard to
bear, but it waa folly understood when
the name was adopted and the situation
accepted. II there is no dirty linen ex
hibited by our officials we can pot op
with It.
Hon. Johs R. Kura bab, stale senator
elect from King county, is preparing throe
important bills to be introduced at the
first session of the legislature. One pro
vides for the Australian system of voting,
another for prednet registration and the
third is for the suppremion of trusts.
IxDUNArous, the home of the presi
dent, has gone democratic for the first
time in fifteen years. The cause is sup
posed to be that the majority of republi
cans have been sent out of the city to fill
fat foreign missions or territorirl berths.

The official returns of the late election
have been canvassed and the republican
majorities are even greater than was an
ticipated. Wilson's majority was 9461
sad Ferry’s 8092. The total vole of the
territory was 68,643.
Twins is trouble in Montana over the
election, and there is a possibility that
she will not be admitted to statehood

rtnal Proof Boling.
Register and Receiver, North Ytddma,
Washington:
(>entlbmenl have received the reg
ister’s letter of the first instant, in refer
ence to cases of applications to perfect
entries of public land, by settlers in your
district, as final homesteads, commuted
homesteads, and preemptions, in which
the tifne for making the final proof is
set, in the notices, far periods that may
and probably will be subsequent to the
admission of the state into the union,
under the act of congress of February 22,
1889, 22 statute, 676, and before territor
ial officers who will cease to exist, as
■uch, on the occurrence of that event.
You desire to be advised as to the proper
course to pursue in such cases.
In reply, I have to state that the regu
lations of this department, under the act
of March 8, 1879, require that the notice
of intention to make final proof, to make
proof, to be published in such cases
under said act, shall state the day when,
the place where, and the officer before
whom the proof ia to be taken, and that
the proof shall in every case be made at
the time and place advertised, and before
the officer named in the notice. Circular
of January 1, 1889, page 43.
As, on the admission of the state, the
officers named in the advertisements pub
lished in the cases to which you refer,
will sease to exist, as such, it will be im
possible for the proo*» to be made before
them after the admission of the state ac
cording to the pending notices, and I see
no way to comply with the regulations,
otherwise than by giving new notices
therein, to provide for making the proofs
at proper times and places, to be specified
and before the proper officers, by their
correct names and official designations,
under the state government (see rule 8,
page 46, circular of January 1, 1880) and
you will promptly so advise the parties
interested, as soon as the state is ad
mitted. and the fact duly ascertained.
The condition of things above indicated
should be explained to parties applying
for notices to make proof, hereafter, be
fore the admission of the state, that they
may act with reference
to their interests in the matter.
Very respectfully,
Lewis A. Gaorr,
Commissioner.
facts ss« Il|sm Wsrtfc Riswa.
The whole number of men celled for
by the government during the late war
was 2,750,040. The whole number on
the rolls, regulars and volunteers, was
2.000,401. Only p small number waa ob
tained by the drafts, the result being as
follows: Held to personal service, 40,347;
furnished substitutes, 73,007; paid com
mutation, 85,724; total 206,678; to which
should be added 87,688 credited to the
states under the draft of 1862. The
amount of commutation money received
by the government was $26,306,316.78.
Of drafted men 171,244 failed to report
and 315,500 were exempt from service.
The first call for troops was made by
President Lincoln April 16, 1861. On
that day Mr. Lincoln issued a proclama
tion calling upon the governors of the sev
eral states for a force of 75,000 militia lor
three months, and on the same day call
ed an extra session of congress to meet
on July 4th, 1861. On May 3rd, 1861.
the president called for a volunteer force
for three years, to consist of thirty-nine
regiments of infantry and one regiment of
cavalry, making a maximum aggregate
of 42,034 officers and men. He also
directed an Increase of the regular army
by the addition of eight regiments of In
fantry, one of cavalry and one of artillery,
making a maximum aggregate of 22,714
officers and men. He also called for 18,-
000 seamen.
The enrollment act waa passed March
8. 1868. This was: “Aa act for enroll
ing and calling oat the national forces
and for other purposes.” Under this act
a draft was commenced in July, 1868,
which resulted in little direct benefit to
the army, but served greatly to stimulate
volunteering. Prior to July 1,. t3, no
men were drafted for a greater periou than
nine months. Subsequent to September
5,1864, no men were drafted for a greater
period than one year. Men drafted for a
period leas than three years, or substi
tutes for men so drafted were not entitled
to bounty.
During tb« entire war not leas than
600,000 men were charged with deaertion.
The volunteer force waa not a part of the
militia, but of the army of the United
Btatea. Though aaaimilatad to the mil
itia aa waa the ao-called regular contin
gency of the army.
The war with Mexico began April 24,
1846, and ended July 20,1048. One hun
dred and two thouaaad two hundred and
eighty-seven men verted during that war.
Of that number 27,606 belonged to the
regular army and marine oorpa; 78,770
uere volunteers furniahed by Btatea.
About 40,000 men nerved in the regular
army daring the war of 1812. The whole
militia force raiaed during the war waa
31,210 officers and 440,412 men—in all
471,622.

(Portland )
There is no Just reason why this city and county, when they shall have reached
their maximum in population, should not have in the city from 16AM to 26AM,
and the county 40AM to 60,000. Neither is there any good reason why they should
not be eventually among the very wealthiest towns and counties in Washington
Territory. All the material elements that go to make a big and prosperous city are
here. The total taxation of the county is only mills which includes the total
tax. territorial added. There is not a pauper in the county. The taxation is heralded
to the world as the lowest known from and including Minnesota to and including
California. If there is another county in a new country that can show as low a
taxation the public would like to know it.

The valley in which the city of North Yakima is situated in the center of a

in the future brilliantly.
(Spokane Falls Review.)
Although leas than forty miles apart the difference in climate between Yakima
I in Yakima county and Ellensburgh in Kittitas county is almost as great as that
between a northern and southern latitude. The valley surrounding Ellensburgh
Is excellent for producing grain, while In the valleys near Yakima the fanners are
1 devoting more attention to fruits, vegetables, bops, tobacco and similar crops,
which can only be grown in a warm climate.
