rejects the fisherivs treaty. Mr. BAK
nnl was hood-winked by the English
commissioners, but the republican
senate looked to:: wall to American
interests to ratify the British menus.
It is affirmed that. Goncral Manager
Holcomb of tho 0. R. «K: N. Co. has
invested largely in Port Townsend
real estate—having bought an inter
est in the Blinn tract. Pretty con—
vincing evidence of good faith in our
railroad boom!
The Port Townsend Southern
railway can reach Portland in a run
of 207 miles, and nowhere will there
be a grade to exceed 45 feet to the
mile. The Union Pacific wants con—
nection with the Sound and ocean,
and can get it at Port Townsend.
Our British cousins are much agi—
tated over the matter of a Rail liozu]
ferry from Vancouver to the ishmd
connecting with Dunsmuiro’s road
into Victoria. Such a forty Would
be a revolutionary factor as it Would
make Victoria the rgal terminus oi
the C. P. R. R. system. Sooner or
later it will be built.
The Tacoma Nears of August 2nd.
“hove to” at this oflico Aug. 15th,
looking somewhat dilapidated and
rather sheepisb. It claimed not to
like the niministration very well as
it had evidently been out). bathing
expedition to some seaside resort.
0! course nobody is to blame. It
was a perverse paper.
The Spokane Fall Review prophe
sies that Seattle and Tacoma will be
depopulated in the event of the open
ing of our railroad. Now we want
that editor to come over to Townsend
and boom this country. We knew
that we were going to be a big city
but we never dreamed before of such
phenominal success as depopulatiug
those clties.
Never before has Port Townsend
had a more and larger transfer of
real estate than during the last few
months. and the desire to get proper~
ty in and near our city is daily in
creasing. People across the Sound
are bogining to see that there is a fu
ture to this place, and the interest is
spreading eastward across the conti..
neut as shown by frequent inquiries
from capitalists and bomeseekcrsiu
the Mississippi Valley States.
We are informed that Judge Trim
ble, after watching the gambling:
game for a few moments, ear-needy
protested and desired the oflicers to
stop the game. This we are glad to
note. We do not desire to place an
iota of blame where it does not be
long.~ We rejoice that we have a
city magistrate that dare protest
against such an iniquity. We wish
other city officers had done as well.
Our yailroad news is peculiarly
gratifying. We are now confidant
that the O. R. & N. Co. is fully awake
to the importance of our road. There
is no doubt but that they will take
hold of the matter with all their ac
customed energy. Port Townsend
will b 0 the Pugut Sound tormxnns of
3116 great Union Pacific system. This
is in the near future and We think
work will be begun in a few days.
The untimely death of Chief Jus
tice Jones leaves avacancy on the
supreme bench that will require
careful selection to li'l acceptably.
Among the few names that will prob
ably be suggested none will meet
with more general favor, we are sure.

We understand that Marshal F inn
is quite iucansed at our strictures
yesterday as to the Monte game open~

offered to resign his place in favor of
the Editor of the Anccs or his rai

we say frankly that should he con
clude to make good his words the of
fico shall not go begging for an occu
pant, and we will give the public a
guarantee that a dopuiy will be ap
pointed who knows his duty and who
will do it without fear or favor.
We have no quarrel with Mr. Finn.
He could be a good officer if he chase.
He has every qualification for a first,
class Marshal, unless it be a willing
ness to do his duty. This however is
essential in any public servant or any i
private employee. I

"Thrce card Mouto”—only walnut

curd Monte is usually thought u. dis~

Quarantine Station.
'1 he governnn-nt has appropriated
money for a quarantine station to be
"located at Port 'l‘ownsend." A com
mission has been appointed. cousiah
ing of Capt. R. Glover of the \Volcott,
Dr. A. H. Gionnsn of the Marine
"capital, and Colltwstur Q. A. Brooks,
to select a suitable bitl). Pursuant to
a desire for the best information as
fo proper location, on AIKGUS reporter
has been making inquiries.
Dr. \Villiaon. health ofiicer for
Puget Sound, was among the first
interviewed. 'j'hat ofliccr gave as his
unqualified Opinion that Protection
island is above all others the place
intended by Nature for the quarantine
station. It is segregated from the
main land‘ yet is near enough to the
truck of incoming Vt-ssels to be easily
accessible. A ehort cable would con—
nect it. with the telegraph line at
Fleming’s spit, and thus put it in
communication with the authorities
under whose sopervisiou it would be.
The selection is to be one for all time, .
and should be carefully made. i
It is now mooted that a location
sixty or seventy miles down the
straits, on the mainland. may be con—
; sidered by the commission. We rise
‘ to remark that such a selection would
not he "at Port. Townsend.“ and,
would therefore he in direct contra
diction of the intention of congress.
Protection island is better fitted in
every way than any mainland iocn~
tion could pennihly he, and should be
secured for that puryosc. It has
accessible anchorage ground for any
\veathcr,hna a water supply. an abun
dance of good soil for raising every—
thing needed at the station. and is as
near to Port. Townsend as such a
station ought to he. “’0 hope there
will be no i-erious division of semi
merit. over the matter. All the leading
authorities who should be consulted
agree on Protection island.

Port Townsend. This we do nut
deny although some of Ike specifier

The Times also claims that Port
Townsend has always harmed Seattle
at every turn. This is not- true
either. The instances cited by the
Times is that in the fight of Seattle,
against the Northern Pacific, Port
Townsend was aguinut Scuttle. New

defy the Times to :.how one act of
our Board of Trade. one action of our
City Council, or one utterance of our

Seattle or favorable to Tacoma
in the fight. The next count is that

Call for a Deep Harbor Convention
A circular has reached our tahlc,
issued by the Gowrnor of Colorado.
in which he deaired a great conven—
tion to meet in the city of Denver on
the 28th of this present month to de
vise ways and means to secure a deep
harbor on the coast of Texas.
To the whole central west of our
nation this is a very important object
1 To us of the northwest it. has but lit
itle concern. us with a harbor so grand
*nnd uolle it our very feet we have
only to secure trans~continentnl com
municution to bring us all the com
mercial privileges we need. - _
Texas has a great many bars and
inlets and ynt them is none \vgich is
snfiicmntly deep to admit shipping
safely. This is a great dmwhack to
the wholo of that state as well as to
Colorado, New Mexico. Arinona, Ar~
humans and Missouri.
3 The cost of such :1 harbor if con
structed would be something onoro
mans. It will probably be done
however and if done well. we may ox~
pvct a partial revolution in the trade
of our nation, and the upbuildiug of
u great city on the woatern side of the
Gulf of Maxim.

W. H. Holcomb. of tho 0. R. 8: N.
(10., is in the city this morning—4lml ‘
has been for hours closeted with tho‘
oflicialsof thn Port Townsend Southw
ern’. What the result will be can of ‘
course only be surmised. but a guess ‘
that matter: are rapidly localizing
would not be wide of the mark. 1
The speech of Hon. 0. S. Voorhoes,
on the admission of Washington to
the Union is a fair and good presen
tation of this common W‘ alth to
statehood. It is as well an arraign
ment of the Democratic party for its
onesxded aQtiou in times past. Dur
ing the delivery of the speech. Mr.
Sy lies of Nebraska compelled the a¢l~
mission from the Delegate that the
Republican side of the house had fa
vored admission but that the Demo—
crats had impeded such admission.
The Hon. Charlee, was compelled
to deliver his speech on the occasion
of the discnsion of the appropriation
bill. It was it qnccr time but he had
to deliver his speech before he could
be nominated again and as he had
for three years steadily failed to do
anything he took this as about his
only chance to redeem himself for
his third term candidacy. The speech
howewr. on the whole is good. It is
an array of facts that Would immedi
ately secure recognition of statehood
was not the steady policy of the
Democratic party to ignore us and
prevent. such a recognition. Yoor—
hces has been compelled by the pol
icy of his party to be quiet at any
time when his voice would have done
any good. He must be replaced by a
man whose party favors the ndmis~
sion of this territory. That man is
probably to be J ohu 15. Allen of
Walla. Walla.
Gen. Harri~on has a remarkable
faculty for presenting great issues
in simple. inloresting and convincing
turms. His speeches am short. but.

The Bloomer Decision.
l The opinion of the Supreme Court.
'ufl reported for the Press, is based
upon r; construction of the original
organic act. That provided: "That
awry white male inhabitant above
the age of twenty one years. who
shall have been a resident of said
'l‘erritnry at the time of the paseage
of this act. and shall possess the qual~
ilication. hereinafter prescribed, ehall
be entitle-l to vote at the first election,
' and shall be eligible to any office in
l shill Territory.”
The qualifications prescribed were.
"That the voters should be citizens of
the United States. above the age of
tWenty-ore years." etc.
i The supreme Court limit thie by
importing the word "male” into the
clause, making the qualifications rend
"male citiiens of the United States.”
This is a violation of the rule that
generic words shall be construed lih~
orally in favor or human rights. The
Court overlooked the fact that sec~
tion 5 of the organic act is no longer
in force. Since the revision of the
Statutes of the United States, the “Re
vised Statutes" alone have been in
force.
. Section 14 in regard to the election ‘
of a dele rate to Congress. which re—l
quired the delegate to be a citizen“
has been repealed, and is supplanted l
by section 1862, revision of the Stab
utee oflthe United States, which leaves
out the limitation of citizenship and
all masculine pronouns.
The provisions in regard to the ap—
% pointment of officerefiu'e also changed.
The organic act. contained no provi—
sion for the election of general mil
itia oflicers. The Revised Statutes
provided for their election by the
people.
The Supreme Court of this Terri -
tory has not followed the Supreme
Court of the the United States in
construing statutes. I‘hat Court
held: “Our duty is to read the stat
ute according to the natural and ob
vious import of the language, with
out resorting to subtle and forced
(instruction, for the purpose of either
imitiug or extending its operation.”
——P_o_tt. vs._Arthur, 104, U. S. 735.
"When the language in plain. one
has no right. to insert. words and
phrases. >0 as to incorporate in the
stalutoa new and distinct )rovision.”
S-United States vs. Tangle, 'OS. U.
In regard to the revision the same
Court held: “No reference, therefore.
can be had to control the construction
of any motion of the Revised Statutua
whare its meaning is plain. although
in die original statutes it may have
bad a larger or more limited applica
iion than (hut. given to it. in tho rewi
siuu."———Dcfi'onback Va. Hawke, 115,

The Tariff on Paper
Congressman Whiting made a
speech in the House on the amt? as
it concerns paper. He depreciated
anylcliange in the rates, notwithstaud‘
iug {wiper is made here, he said, of us
gout quality and quite as cheaply as
abroad. He concluded as {allows
This ought to be u satisfactory
condition to the consumer of paper.
and to the laborer who makes it, and
I repeat that I am at a loss to tinder
stand why in the absence of any cum
};luiut on the part of the consumer,
nborer or manufacturer, there should
be any {4'o osition to change the
tarifi rate. It will be said in reply;
If these things are so. why do you
want u tarifl‘ on paper at all? My
answer is that we want a tariff to
prevent the European manufacturer
from sending his surplus production
here—thus breaking down our mar
km. closing our mills and throwing
nur lulwr nu: of employment. We
walc‘ , 1:: 9' m 9 Colupo-Xillou. but we
do : .. uuut to cnnipt-tt with the
whoiu world, and especiall; with that
labor which does not recoiveene~half
the compensation of American labor“
The advocates of the policy of pro~
loctiun to American manufacturers
claim that the consuruq-r obtains the
pmducl. at a reasonable price through
competition :imungour own people.
and the facts I have narrated furnish
the most conclusive proof lhntthi
paper industry is a marVelOßs in»
ntnncu of the good result and practi»
cal efl'ect of such a policy, and of tho
correctnoss of the position taken by
tlznse who favor protection. W hen it
is now proposed to reduce lho duty
on paper we confront Von with a
condition. not a theory—tho condi
tion being: high wages, low coat to
the consumer constant improvement
in quality, and no general demand
for any change in the tariff.

Wool.
In the August number of the North
American Bet-£911: is an article on
wool by L‘. H. Ammidown which is
cutie-cinlly appropriate at this time.
The article is a com llL'tG review of
the wool question and contains stun
tistics of invstunnble value. \Vooi
stands sixth in value on the list of
American agricultural products. and
is sprpassed only by corn, hay, wheat
cotton and oats. The number of
sheep is estimated at 50,000,000, and
total valuation of the sheep industry
is stated to amount to owr $125,000-
000 annually. The article is so well
written that the following copious
extract is madn: “It is a fact. which
at once arrests attention —— when
known~that the United States is the}
only civilized country in which there.
has. in recent years, been a large in~
crease in the production of wool.
Nono of the. Luropean countries
show a flourishing condition of sheep
husbandry. All of them show a de
cline in their wool production since
1870, and are large importers of the
wool required for their manufacture-.
Franco produces less than 100,000,~
000 pounds, and igiforts over 200,-
000,000. The Unit States. on the
other hand, has increased itr wool
product from 60..000006 pounds in
1860 to over 300,000,000 in 1881. and
supplies 80 percent. of the wool re—
quired for its manufactures. The
Australian clip during the same time,
under the greatest advantagea of
Isoil and climate-with cheap land
iand cheap labyr—has advanced from
50,000.000 to 450.000 pounds The
production of all Europe is not now i
materially greater than it was in‘
1850, although it increared steadily
down to 1870. Since then under the
competition of Australian and South
American wools. the European Woo‘
product has declined 25 per cent.
and stands nearly where it did forty
years ago. During this same period
the worlds production of wool has
more than doubled. It has increased
three times as fast as population,
and prices have dcclned in a similar
ratio. 7
Scnool Lands.
i A few days since, Delegate Voor
ihees secured the passage of an act
legalizing the law passed in 1869 by
the territorial legislature authoriz
‘ing the leasing of school lnnds.‘ By
the provisions of the organic not
every law duly enacted by the legis
lature of Washington Territory is
valid unless Disapproved by congress.
The territorial law of 1869. author
izing the leasing of school lands. was
not interfered with until 1885. Frnxn
1869 until 1885 the county commis
sioners of the various counties were
in the habit of leasing school lands.
but in the latter year congress ex
pressed its disaEproval of the law
which has since t en been inoppera
tive. The bill inst passed in effect
repeals the act of disapproval. and,
if signed by the President, will res
establish the validity of the leasing
law. The conditions under which
school lauds may be leased are enn
mearted in the law of 1869 as fol~
laws:
1. The term shall not exceed six
years.
2. The rental shall not be less: than

correspondent. who sends in thest ate
ment that. the discussion of the
relative adaptability of the circular

ject among the Puget Sound will men.
To the men in the white pine region,
who are famillar with the successful
operation of the band mill. it
doesn’t appear that there should be a
particle of occasion for difference of
lopinion. unless the objection to the
‘band will may lie in the quality of
the timber. But all reports agree
that the Washington Territory tim
ber is free from knots and runs
largely to clear. The timber is large
but the best informed men in the
white pine region who have inveti
gated the matter, are of the opinion
that the band saw mill will be found
to do its best work in the western
pine and timber. The rustless wrste
which goes on in the Puget Sound
'saw mills is the thing which im
‘ presses the men from the white pine
region the most—and all of the mill
men in this section have not yet
learned that fortunes can be made
where profits now are scarce, by the
economical methods of many facture
which are imployed ia the best mills
of the country. Of course. the West
ern timber does not cost much now.
but this is no reason it should be
wasted. If the Washington Terri~
tory mill man dosen’t care to save his
raw material he should bear in mind
that by the use of thin saws he can
save at least a fourth of his logging
bill. and thrt is worth looking after.
