' Governor Swinefonl is duing A 1113: k 8 good service by insisting on lu-t --ter laws, and lan's instead of Hugh-(3t. The time has come when the gigantic fur monopoly which has stood in tho way of progress in Alaska should step aside and give way for pullic interests. There is no more rcusuu why the government should sell special privileges in fur: for u when: continent than that it should bottle up the air of heaven and give an un— wrprising speculator a monopoly of it. The great danger to this free government of ours is frum monopo« lies and:special trusts. .___ Theterritorial council did right in rejecting the nomination of Dr. Nowell to a public position. The re pnblicans don’t recognize the Doctor as a republican, and the Democrats regarded him as a people's party man and therefore unworthy of their support on political grounds. Gov. Semple had adopted the course of appointing a minority on each and every commission, composed of more than one person, from the republican party—and the republican members of the council claim that such repnlh lican member, so called. should be a member of the party recognized as such and acceptable to them on the ground of part); position. In other words, as Dr. Nowell. went out of the republican party in the last election, after only trying to secure its con— gressional nomination, and did his level best to defeat the election of the candidate who was nomina‘od- - the republicans in the council do not. feel like rewarding such action, especially if it is to be charged up to the credit of the party. Judge Kuhn's Mission. The departure of Judge Kuhn for \Vashington to aid in securing the passage of an nppropriution bill is the occasion for an attack on' his motive and mission as well as on himself by the city correspondent of the Post—lntelligencer. It certainly ls proper and right that Port Townsend should have a capable man at the National capital to look after her interests. The one delegate of this Cemmonwealtb, Mr. Voorhees, has shown so for, not the slightest concern for our interests. It is hardly to be expected that he will do anything to help along our cus~ toms building. Mix Kuhn is as good n men as our business men could have selected for this purpose as he is in sympathy with the dominant partynnd has been at “’ushington several times before. The bill to create subports of entry at Seattle and Tacoma is certainly a direct menace to our public building and should be held in abeyance un til our custom house is completed. If there should be my reason however why such bills should pass, we pre~ sumo our National legislators will be able to see such reasons and not be deterred from doing right by Port Townsend’s representatives. We desire to say, however. that ‘ every efl'ort must be made to get ourl appropriation and finish our building. Let every man do his best and aid Judge Kuhn all he can. We can not believe that this P.-I. correspondent is a friend to our city, or that Seattle is truly represented by his style, or spirit. Port Town~ send wants her custom house com~ pleted, and the whole district needs it whether there are sub-ports of en try or not.

At midnight We Were crossing the “ Bird Tail Divide" where our blood chilled and We went "rattle-te—bang” down the eastern slope we felt thankful that we should soon reach lower lati tudes and feel a little more comforta blo (don‘t forget it was I‘2o inthe shade at noon of that day!) Finally, between 10 and 11 o‘clock on a bright “Wednesday morning we stopped at a little station called Jamestown, on the. western bank' of the Missouri river whose silvery waters glide with gentle flow down to the “ Black Ea gle Rainbow and Great Falls.” of which more hereafter.

Paris Gibson, and some others. who had lived here for years, bud some fine day-dreams about rail roads, cool, iron and gold mines; at first it was considered visionary. but. now it is believed these dreams will be realized. Nearly 2000 people, a railroad nearly finished. smelting works will be built. in the spring, coal. gold and silver mines are close to the city, and land that was prairie three years ago is worth thousands. Some Michigan gentlemen having paid $50,000 for lots to build on in the spring. Large stone and brick buildings show the solidity of the enterprise. I will finish this de scription in my next, when I hope to give you some faint idea of magnifi cent falls. and- other "lions” of this neighborhood. Permit me to compliment the "progressives" of your city-by-the~ sea for their enterprising spirit. and they may rest assured that 1888 will_ bring material prosperity to them and theirs.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican says: "James Ballou, her father. was taken when a buy from Rhode Island to Richmond, N. H. He married Men hitable Ingalls, a relative of Gen.

CORA LEE’S TRIAL. t‘lprinfiieltl Republican of Jnn.‘.’3—lsß“ ): At 4:20 o’clock yesterday afternoon the jury in the Cora Lee case ro~ turned a verdict of not guilty after being out only five minutes. At 9 o‘clock yesterday morning court opened with the crowd unuasu ally enlarged because of the fact that Hon. 0. H. Travers, the silver tongucd orator was to speek. Ho began the cloning speech of the defense with a statement that his argument wJuld be a very brief one ' Then, one by one the grounds were taken up 'and carefully gone over. The evidence on each point was reviewed. Piece by piece it was thrown to the front and torn apart and shown to the jury as it looked to the speaker. The evidence of little antrlie Graham was paid attention to and shown in its true worth. In referring to it Mr. Traverse said ‘ that he would lie for his father and ‘ Would lie for his aunt. At this point Mrs. Breese, who eat just behind the attorney, arose excitedly and remark ed "Mr. Traverse, do you mean to say I would have Charlie tell a lie?” She was t ulled back in her chair by her husband, and was most painfully affected. Mr. TJaverse replied that he was defending a client; that he sympathized with her for the loss of u sister. and wept tears with her over the grave of that sinter; he Wants as much as :he to see the guilty per son hung. but his client was erfr-ct ly innocent of the crime. like then took up difi'e‘cnt points in the case and rapidly covered and disposed of each in its order. He scathed the witnesses who had shown malicious delight in helping prosecute the case, and closed the side of the defense with a clear, able and eloquent expo sition of the law and the court's in structions and an appeal to the jury to analyze every bit of evidence, to reconcile it with the statements of the attorneys and return a verdict ucgordipgly._ __ _ ‘ _ In the 'afternoon Hon. John A. Paterson closed the case with amast erly argument for the state. He spoke for three hours, present~ ing the facts and evidences of the case as he saw it, in a clear forcible manner, and reasoning all the little inconsistencies in the testimony. At the close of Mr. Paterson's speech. the jury were instructed, and at ;_1:15 o’clock retired. - On reaching their room the for.- man remarked: “All of you who are in favor of acquitting the defendant. walk around on this side of the ta— ble.” The eleven jurymen followed him, and in another moment the ver~ diet had been written, and one of the most famous trials of the great south west was practically at an end. The jury filed into court and the verdict was passed up and read. A wild scene of congratulation and joy fol lowed. which was interrupted by Judge Bland ordering the discharge of the prisoner. This was at once done. and for the first time in two years she stood a free woman. with Life. happiness and a future before er. CORA Lsa mrsavmwrn. Shortly after the defendant left the court room a Repuclican reporter called upon her and in a pleasant conversation got her to express her self as to the result of the terrible ordeal through which she had gone. She talked freely of the case, and in reply to an expression of surprise that she had stood the strain so well stated that it was only the concien ciousuess of her innocence that had buoyed up her often-failing spirit. It was all that had kept her alive, and the support. of her friends, who had been so courageous, tender and true, made life bearable for her. She had no bitter feelings towards any one in the case, and especially was this so in reference to Mr. Pat erson. She believed to be a fearless, brave, concientious official, who did only what he believed to be his duty.

Nammo, Feb. 6.—A a mass meet‘ ing of the men was held Saturday afternoon and evening. The meet» ing difl'ered from the evidence at the inquest, and claimed that the ex plosion was caused by accnmalation of gas from Honr’s door being open. which was started by a shot and ex~ tended by the dust. It condemned the inquest in not allowing full evi— dence of the miners’ committee to be taken. A motion was carried for the men of each colliery to go to work as the Ghinarnen are taken out. A committee was appointed to pre~ pare the proposed amendment to the mining act. The question of the safety lamp and the proposals of manufacturers were left to the hands ;of miners in each colliery.

In the revision of the tarilf Wash ington territory is particularly inter ested in {our items-wool, coal, iron and lumber. What efl'ect free trade would have upon the industries that depend upon the products of our for oats and mines has received but. little attention here, except from those directly interested, and scarcely any discussion from them. The tarifl' on lumber is two dollars per thousand feet. If this should be abolished who would receive the ben efit—the consumer in the United States, the mill owner on the other side or the Provincial Government! Let it be remembered that no Ca-A nadian lumber manufacturer owns the land or the timber thereon. It is owned and always controlled by the government of the province in which it. is located. The provincial govern ments have, for the past two years, shown every intention of advancing the “annual dues.” as also the “tim ber dues" to he paid by the licenses holdere ottimlger lands. __ The United States government sells its public lands at a price in fee Sim» ple. The buyer pays for and con trols it absolutely, as he would all other belongings. subject only to state and local taxation. The Ca nadian governments go into the open market on a fixed day. at a fixed place, full notice of which, with the locality and area of the lands to be sold is given, and the same is put up at auction. not for the sale of the lands, or the timber thereon, but to the highest bidder for a lease thereof for one year. Having sold the priv ilege of leasing the same, a lease is executed to the buyer for one year, burthcned by certain conditions of further performance on the part of the buyer. which, if carried out. on titles him to the privilege of a re newal of said lease from year to year. The prerequisities are that he shall promptly, on a certain day of each year, pay to the crown land agent a certain sum per square mile, (which rate or sum is subject to the capriee of the party in power) as “annual dues,” and for every standard log, 21:13) cut thereon. a fixed sum with a fixed scale of dues for every kind of timber product taken ofi' the said lands.)
