A friend wants to know how u democrat can be ‘a protectionist this year. Easy enough! By voting the republican ticket. Ask us something real hard. Allen Weir of Port Townsend is the nominee for joint Councilman of the 12th district. and J. J. Lalhoun for Prosecuting Attorney, on the Republican ticket. The democratic idea is that. Ameri can laborers shall lose 31 in earnings in order to save 17 cents in cost of living. These figures represent the result of free trade boiled down. Agood healthy locomotive with a few flat cars and a. cargo of railroad iron would be splendid for sore eyes on Port Townsend Bay this fall. Handling dirt just. beyond the depot grounds will soon be in order. The P.-I. suggests: “And now a strong pull, along pull and a pull :11 together for Allen and protec tion.” Bight you are, and the Rep ublicans of Jefl'erson County will all (all in line for these very purposes.

Frank Pixley, the San Francisco Argonaut man, who is popularly supposed to carry the American party in his vest pocket, was on the fence quite a while waiting to be “recognized” by the Harrison men in California.

The republican terlitorial plat form this year appeals to republi cans from a strictly party standpoint.

Speed the day when we shall have 2,000 added to our population by reason of the fishing industry. . It has remained for the San Francisco Chronicle to present the masterly, par excellence, argument for protection. That paper publish ed a history of the whole question, devoting one entire edition to it. Tons of extra copies were printed for circulationl and the demand has been very great. The Chronicle has publicly challenged any democratic orator or newspaper in California to debate the question—but thus far it has not been accommodated. A newspaper that has manliness enough to be an aggressive. force for the right is sure to have antagon isms. One that is too cowardly to express a definite opinion upon any public question, and that is forever straddling and catering to popular favor, or to avoid antagonism. is sure to count for but little. It. is always the pusillanimous kind that sneers at those who do amount to something. Such gloating, however. plainly be trays the jealousy gnawing at ex ceedingly narrow minds. Port Townsend needs just one great facility in addition to her rail road, as a factor in achieving speedy municipal growth—a fine hotel; This necessity is no great that we cannot dispense with the hotel and its advantages without seriously in— juring our own interests. It ought not to require months of argument and agitation to demonstrate this matter so plainly and forcibly as to induce organized and efl‘eclive efi'ort for a hotel such as is needed. There should be immediate action. Democrats are very anxious to get control of the legislature. In view of approaching statehood it is quite important. A democratic majority in the legislature after President Harrison signs our statehood bill would mean two democratic U. S. senators—hence demierata are frantic in their efl'orts to vary the legisla tive districts. Republicans who want the U. S. senate to continue republi~ can in complexion, and thus continue the safeguard of our industries against free trade, will vote solidly for their legislative candidates. The hanging of Goldensen, yes terday for the murder of the inuo~ cent school girl, Mamie Kelly, was a triumph of justice, which must make every American’s heart rejoice. Low, vicious criminals increase with every ‘ lax administration of the law. So surely as Goldensen‘s neck had been ‘ spared a dozen more school girls had been murdered. Our law is too slow. We believe that it is better for a criminal to have every chance of jus tice. but not a perversion of justice in the way of leniency, for that he— gets crime. The morbid sympathy which so many goody-goody people show to great Criminals is all wrong. It makes a kick] of hero of the cum inal which is very desirable on the part of some abandoned characters. The protection of the innocent, not the vicious, is the design of the law. i l‘iw- milz' "H 1 question in Tt'rritOF ml :vlmm :n .‘lr. \'oarlu-us is trying :,. i--':iv.- it. i< u (lviixl i>>um It is mar a qwution in! the courts. not for l" tut-inns. nor votcmwlwcnuse a (‘..-u; wrmiv 1213“; lent has accepted lim .‘x'v-nln-rn i'iu3ilic railroad in fifty— milo sections, and has caused the di<pmml land to be patented. to the company.

It is eminently in ac cord with the spirit 0! Republican ism and will attract the consideration of candid voters of all classes. In comparison with the letter which Mr. bleveland imposes upon his fellow ers, Greneml Harrison’s is as much an pcrior as the utterances of a trained statesman are above those of an obs cure politicion who comprehends only the most superficial phases of any pub‘ lic question. As :tho New York Tri~ (mnc well says: “Gem-ml Harrison’s letter in cour ageous, frank, simple and uuufl'u :ted Many of its phrases pierce the Demo cmllc armor like sword thrusts. It is a letter that wili make many voles. The letter is worthy of the leader of a great party and demonstrates his fitnuss for the presidency." Extravagant Claims‘ 'l'hc Clivhnlis Nugget, always ready to land Deli-gutt- Voorhei‘s with sick ening,ovonlrawn, fillsome slohber, is out in :1 long article purporting to given resume of that gentleman‘s work in congress. It has summed up everything that anybody or all put together have accomplished for Washington Territory during the past four years, and tries to create the impression that Voorliees has done it all—4lnd this year, too. It even goes back and tries to claim credit for work done by Hon. T. H. Brents before Voorhees was elected. Such outrageously extravagant claims can assist our Delegate to re-elec tion only with those who are too ig~ norant or too careless to read the truth. Still, the long drawn out gush is published with apparent seriousness, under flaming headlines claiming that “Thomas H. Bronte never did, and John B. Allen or any other republican never can do as much.” ' No sensible person objects to giv ing Mr. Voorhees credit for all thatl he is untitled to~but when it comes 1 to dignifying him with silly claims: that he has done more than anyonej : has done, or can do, and actually ‘ lying outright to support the claim.: the average citizen is nauseated.l Still, this kind of blatant. cheap johnl politics goes—and newspapers that are “thick and thin" party workers in the democratic ranks are sending it on its rounds-taking, or profess— ing to take, down at one gulp the whole claim as gospel truth. In the first place, while Mr. Voor— hees has been in congress the Ore~ gen senators have done more for Washington Territory than he has— yet all their work is claimed in be half of the ambitious young egotist who seeks political homage and con— tinued success. We cite a few in smnces: The bill to grant Point Defiance reservation to Tacoma for a public park is Senator Dolph’s meas ure. The additional appropriation for the Port Townsend custom house was secured were by Senator Mit chell than any one else-although the spr cial lobbyist sent on from this city did some good work for it. The act to validate our legislative work and provide for the expenses of holding the next legislature was a failure, simply because Mr. Voorhees did not stay at his post of duty in Washington and attend to business. It was emasculatenl in the senate by having its most important part strick en out. when Mr. Voorhees could have secured a remedy for the whole matter in a proviso of a dozen words had he been there; but he had come west to make sure of getting that nomination which he said he didn‘t I want. The bill making Seattle and ' Tacoma ports of delivery and en larging their customs privileges was one of Senator Dolph’s measures, and to him belongs mainly the cred» it of its success; the same applies tol the Port Angeles psrt of delivery 1 bill now pending. The bill for the‘ admission of Washington Territory, favorably reported in the senate. is in no sense Mr. Voorhees? measure. It is almost identical with admission ‘ bills twice passed by the senate, but ‘ which died in the hands of the House committee on Territories of which Mr. Voorhees is a member. Either our Delegate did not have influence enough with his own committee to secure a report on any one of these statehood bills, or else he didn't want them reported. Still, with the gall of a cast iron mule he and his friends claim credit for what the Or-- egon senators have done for us—and d 1 mocratic papers have the brazen efi'rontery to flaunt these claims in the faces of sensible people. The enabling act for Washington, Dako ta, Montana and New Mexico was Congressman Springer‘s bill. Mr 3 Voorhves had uutlxiug whatever to do with it. The river and harbor bill, in so far as it provides for sun veys and estimates for improvement of the upper Columbia river. is the x‘usult of Dvlph and Mitchell's labors, yet it also is paraded among Year [l99s’ assets. A more impudent at tempt to strut in borrowed feathers we never witnessed. The foregoing are but a few sam ples. We might. prolong the list, but cite those items to indicate the character of the blnsfier campaign just npuncd. Mr. Vunrh(;os has been a fairly avtiv: dob-gulp, but “mm are wwml geutfemen in tlm Territory who could have done more. Party Positions. The republican territorial platform, which we publish this morning, is remarkable for what it omits as well as for its positive declarations. 0n the national issue, the protective tar itl' question, it is clear and ringing in l its utterances. In so far as the na~ tional issue affects the leading pro ducts of this Territory the platform is particularly emphatic. If it fails to meet with the hearty endorsement of the public. then the world may as Well conclude that our people are in ;difi‘erent to their industrial welfare. lOn the queetion of statehoed the ad ministration is arraigned in unmis takable terms. Mr. Voorheee was twice sea), to congress in the belief that his distinguished father would aid our aepirtaions, and in the vain hope that he. being in accord with the democratic majority in the lower House of Congress. would he better able to forward our admission bill than a republican delegate would. But all this alluring delusion Las been dissipated like the mists of a summer morning —and the toiling masses of the Territory, evor anxious for emancipation from their condi tiou of aorl'dom, ever patient under delay and injustice. have been awak ened to a realization that they were [victims of shameless deception. Tho loud blustur and vehement promises of young Voorheos. made for the purpose of gaining elections to congress, lun‘e been simmered down to actual results, and have proven by analysis to lie niuo parts wini and the rest immuculuted os senco of gull. We do not charge that when Mr. Voarbnos first made these promises he did so without ox pectution of being able to fulfill them. His ogotialn probably led him to expect grand things. But the at titudo of the national democratic party towards \Vusbington Territory on the statehood question has been simply an insurmountable barrier to our advancement—and it is just as apparent today as it was four years ago that we will be powerless to ae~ cure a state government until the republican party gets able to give it to us. Still. voters were duped into supporting Chan. 8. Voorhees on this issue. That he will be able to do~ caive them upon it a third time seems hugely credible. , , The republican platform has ig-‘ nored side issues completely—issues upon which the party itself is locally divided. We believe such a course to be a wise one. The party is going in for an old time victory. Republh oanism, pure and simple, is the first, great. overshadowxng consideration. Side issues, that distract and divide are left for future solution. The Work of the Convention. For the past few weeks it has been apparent to everyone well acquainted with the territorial situation that Hon. John B. Allen was the choice of the republicans by an overwhel ming majority, and that the proper thing for the territorial convention of that party to do would be to nom~ inato Mr. Allen. His popularity within the party became more and more apparent when the convention delegates met at Elleneburg. He was the first choice of 157 delegates, and the second choice of abontso more. Ol course he was triumphant ly nominated on the first ballot. "Had there been another ballot taken he would have received over 200 votes in the convention, out of 243. The best of feeling prevailed. and other candidates whose names are considered were treated with such courtesy and good feeling that they were all well pleased. After the nomination had been made there was a manifest and most unanimous feeling that. the very best possible thing had been done. At the evening session, after the work of the convention had been comple ted, Mr. Allen appeared in the hall, and loud calls were echoed and re echoed for him until he appeared on the stage, when he was tendered a genuine ovation, and stood bowing his thanks for several minutes be~ ‘ fore order could be restored. Mr. lAllon is a tall, spare manl with a ‘ youthful, smooth face, an intellectual ‘ forehead. and the general appear ance of a dignified, cultured gentle man. His manner of speaking is graceful and scholarly. full of mag— netic tire, poetic and flowery, replete with all the ornate graces of the suc- 1 cessful speaker. To say that the‘ vast audience in the convention hall ‘ was captivated by the ringing speech but faintly expresses the fact. Its lending thoughts were grandly in spiring, taking within their compre hensive scope enough of the history of the republican party to arouse the pride of everyone present. At its close the enthusiastic cheering that followed prevented either business or speaking for several minutes. Oth ers were called out, including Hon. Geo. Turner, Col. J. C. Haincs and J no. L. Wilson. Angular love feast guessed. Everybody went home set isfied and confident of victory in No— vember. Mr. Allen will open his campaign at Colfax on Monday next. His plan will be to conduct an aggressive con test in his own behalf, treating his opponent with polite indifference. No one doubts that John B. Allen will make a splendid impression up on the people. His ability as a speaker. his purity of personal char acter. sincerity of purpose and thor~ oughly gentleinanly qualities can but commend him to the public; while his long residence in the territory, familiarity with its public afl'airs, and hisconsiatent. clean record on public issues render him especially accept able. He has hosts of ersonal jfriends. also, who will greatly assist ; Hl]. BY TELEGRAPH. Liver RAILROAD woaK. Spokane Falls, Sept. 17.-—The Big Bend branch of the Northern Pacific is rapidly approaching Medical lake. It is graded to the King farm, two and one—half miles west of the lake, and this distance will be com leted this week. Track laying will, then commence at once, and trains will be running to the lake by the Ist of October. The Northern Pacific ar~ allele the Seattle, Lake Shore &. lipast ern for a distance of three miles east of the lake, the two roads being only about fifty yards apart. The North~ am Pacific is south of the Seattle line until the lake is reached. when the roads cross and run west on par~ allel lines. not more than a mile apart as far as Davenport, 25 miles west of the lake. Both roads are trying to reach that point first, and the Seattle road. while it is waiting for its spur with the Northern Pacific to be com pleted, is hauling its rails by team. Every etl'ort is being made by this road to reach Medical lake as soon as its competitor, and large forces of men are employed on both roads. am was-run roa raven.

But, Mr. Editor, get the best police in the world and you can’t cure the evil. Miss Acker man. the W. C. 'l‘. U.- lectarees. un veiled the statue of _ evil. and Rev. Dr. Nourse did the same thing. The nnewar is formed—lt’s a moral ques tion. Cupidity and greed brought. them here; God did not. God com~ amends] the Israelites to destroy the heathen nations of Palestine as there was no safety without; the Jews thought they knew better. But God understood human nature then as now. We are in the same position— we cannot touch pitch without do~ filament. The Chinese have no con science but for gain; they will work and drive the women_ to the well; they will give them opium and de bauch them and have no compassion, ——it‘s against their education. Dr. Nourse in his lecture on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide, like an old irophetof Israel. in the intensity of is feeling in talking of the spread of the opium habit amongst young girls and oth— ers through them, rang out the flat —The Chinese must go! We cannot afford to keep them here. Our laws are broken; morally, every one of them. worse than by the Mormons, and they are doing more than harm. ‘A Christian can't ive on an equality lwith them and be a Christian. This ‘city and province cannot be Chris -Itiana;and help the Chinese in the country. To keep them here is to debase our wives. sisters and daugh ters. With them here. we can’t sup? port, educate or train our families— it'e a moral impossibility. We can— not elevate the Chinese‘ we " must therefore degenerate if we keep them here. Three things are open to us— lst, send them away, or, 2nd, make slaves of them (this will avoid the competition but not the. degradation; \or, 3rd, put them in Jul.

No finer medicinal as ‘suranoe of comparative vigor tor the ‘teeble exists than that aflhrded by Heat teter’s Btomaoh Bitters.
