It does not. require a prophet to see
that the U. R; &N. 00. is rapidly

they have rail connection at Portland

The C. B. & Q. is now able to run its

The Astoria Piom-cr thinks the
Puget Sound turado has ruined the
steamer Alaskan. As she isa steal
ship it is quite a good recommenda

worse than all is that the boilers of
the ship are her weakness. So our

inside a redhct boiler and chew up a
steel vessel in six-months. Tally one

An 01-3 sea. captain of many year‘s

Th:- calitur ol ti-is paper has al
ready rec-rived 11 large number of
letters from porSulllll friends in Cla
lum. Muse-I|, Kitsap, Island, What
com and San Juan counties contain~
ing wax-m congratulations upon his
legi‘lutive nomination. and pledging
active support He cannot fail, of
cuurse, to appreciate such kind and
guncrL-us expressions. Though nom
inated unanimously. he is well aware
that his position as it public citizen,
aggressive and positive in convic~
lions, and employed in a profession
that nz-c: ssarily creates antagonisms,
renders him loss popular than a pri—
vate ciz’mn would be with the same
convictions. Legislative candidacy
in such a largo district involves per—
sonal and financial sacrifice, particu
lurly to one “hose time and talents
are so fully occupied in the exacting
duties connected with a daily and
weekly newspapcr and a job printing
establishment. Probably this fact.
however. stimulates personal friends
to more active exertion. The public
can be safely trusted to settle the
issues as to who shall represent them
at Olyinpin~nnd to that public the
question mll he submitted in a cone
fident expectation that it will choose
wisely and well.
The Call editor is to be pitied. A
nomination for some sort of an ofiice.
even if it were only constable, might
3 ease his mental agony. As it is, he
‘ is so disturbed by the fiend of jeals
‘ ousy that he seems unable to make a
truthful or fair statement about the
editor of this paper. He is sure we
are hypocritical on woman sufl'rage
——wnon any man with common sense
knows that be grossly misstates the
ease. Woman suffrage was enacted
a to w years ago, and was subsequent
ly declared unconstitutional. on the
ground that the title of the bill was
defective. At that time both political
parties were committed to the sup
port of the law. The legislature that
had been elected-was thoroughly com
mitted to the law; and when an efl'ort
was made to defeat its reenactment
tho Axons Contender! earnestly that
anything short ro-enacting the law
would he bad faith toward the pee:
pie. The law was re enacted. but heel
since been declared unconstitutional}
by the supreme court of the Territo-l
ry, on the ground that the legislature;
had no right to enact such a law.
For the legislature to again enact
woman sum-age would be to pass a
law which it has reason to expect
would be again invalidated by legal
decision, complicating all kinds of
business and tending to cxpenstvo
litigation. The folly of re enacting
the law under the circumstances must
be apparent to everybody, and if the,
editor of this paper were in favor of;
it he would be denounced by the Call 1
as an unreasonable crank. \\‘omanl
suffrage is not an issue in the cam~l
paign this fall. Neither party has
taken a stand upon it, either for or
against it Neither party will be unv
dvr any sort of obligations upon the
question. However, woman snfl'rnge
is still an unsettled question in the
Territory. Whatever limit there
may to to our powers under a torri~l
toriui gou-rmucnt, there is little
qllt‘f lion but that we may legally
adapt “taunt. sutl'rugc, if a umj .\rityl

of whom were carriers, was too
small. He should have been back to
civilization six months ago. No an—
thentic tidings has yet reached us
and all fear that some mishap has
swallowed up the whole outfit. It
is possible that he has turned his
steps southward in order to solve a
long unsolved mystery as to the
source of the east branch of the Con—
go and the true watershed between
the Nile and Congo systems. He
may yet emerge all right; but it is
feared that he will never be heard of
again and the fate of Stanley be one
of the forever unsolved problems.
The Governments of the world ought
to move promptly in the matter.

REBUILDING J ERUSALEM.
fiscttling Palatine and the Great
Euphratu Valley~Little Palestme
on Puget Sound.
Editor Anew: In your last issue
appears an item about colonizing
Palestine, which has gone the rounds
of the newspapers generally. To
this‘itetn the Inter— Ocean of 5Lh thus
replies: “Rabbi Voorsanger is the
victim of misinformation. Dr. Siv
artha is not a Jew. 110 has made no
call on any one for funds and he
does not contemplate the restora
tion of Jerusalem to the Jews. His
interpretation of the Bible prophecy
‘is that Jerusalem is to be rebuilt by
the wise men of the earth; Christians
as wall as Jews. and he is going to
Palestine under the patronage, not
of Jews, but of Christians. He has
no connection with any Jewish or
ganization, and he has asked help
from none. He is not likely to un
pose on any one. Dr. Sivartha has
been a resident of Chic 0 for many
years. and however p. 021: here may
regard his religious theories and en- l
thusiasms, they do not speak lightly;
of his character or motives." :
This subject has a much wider and‘
far grander meaning than the press ‘
and the World in general have any
idea of at present. I have what
would make considerable of a book,
cut out of newspapers. and have veryl
beautiful letlers from Sivartha him
self on this subject, who says: “We
must not for a moment suppose that
nobody but the Jews are to be re
stored to Palestine. The modern
Jews include, two tribes out of the
twelve tribes of Israel. The Bible
promises in 174 verses that the lust
tribes shall be gathered and with Ju
dah or the Jews form a new nation in
Palestine with laws and government
that shall be a model for the whole
world. The Jewa will only form a
minor part. a nnesisth of those who
will go back to Palestine. The ma
jor part of the new nation will be
composed of English, Americans and
Scandinavians. Many Christians
think that all these prophecies pos
sess a spiritual significance only, but
the promises are explicit, and they
are certainly litrrzil if words have
any meaning at all, 'I Will gather
the children of Israel and the chil~
dren of Judas from amongst the
heathen and bring them into their
own land. and 1 Will make them one
nation.’ The railway. the steam
ship. the telegraph. and other mod—
ern inventions foreshadow and make
pOdßlble the unity of nations. Sci~
once at last sill become the instru
ment of universal justice and peace,
the long promised millenium.”
I And again obeelve how this move
ment extends to our very doors, on
l Puget Sound. He writes to me from
l(.‘hirago, June 17. 1886: “Your let—

The Ruv. Jonathan Cummings
says: “The immense value of Swar
tlia'e discoverieslies in the fact that
they absolutely demonstrate the
great truths of the Bible. and place
within our hands the knowledg‘?
which is necessary f,r the practic
lw?rk of building up the Messianic
i 9."
Prof. J H. 0001: saysi “The au
that of the Book of Life has reduc
ed the structure, functions and rela
tions of the brain to a science, and
demonstrated as well. the only true
basis of Sociology. His clear, scien
tific statements. his elo uent lau~
guage and beautiful illustrations
will be a rare treat to all lovers of
truth."
I could quote pages of such praise,
but the main feature of all Sivartha’s
wonderful and astounding discover
iea is that they aim at the serving and
lifting up of humanity, into that
physical and spiritual life pictured
out to us in the Bible. and by the
good and wise men of all the ages.
A lady has just called who knows
Sivartha. She says Sivartha truly
istha~but I will not say it because
the work is to dwell on and talk
about tho work, not. the person.
The question before us now is,
lell) can we find to help to plant a
;Little l‘nlnatiue hero on this great
western Mediterranean son of Puget
Sound? For this great EISODUS

can easily establish a branch of that

Cradle ground of our race on the
shores of the Mediterranean of the
east. in Palestine and the Great Eu

, RICHMOND'S FAMOUS FIRE.
flow a Great I‘lcce of News War fronted
. In the Old Days. ..‘
‘ The editor of The Richmond Standard
: was present, and wrote the following etc
-1 count for his paper the next day:
1 “Last night the play housein this dty
i was crowded with an unusual audience.
1 There could not have been less than 600
‘ persons in the house. Just before the
conclusion of the play the scenery caught
fire. The editor of this paper was in the
house when the ever to b! remembered de
plorable accident occurred. lie is in
i formed that the scenery took fire in the
back part of the house by the raising of u
chandelier: that the boy who was ordered
by some of the players to raise it stated
that if he did so the scenery would take
; fire, when he was commanded in a per
iemptory manner to hoist it. The boy
‘ obeyed and the fire instantly communi
i cated to the scenery. lie gave the alarm
lin the rear of the stage and requested
, some of the attendants to cut the cords by.
i which the combustible materials were sus
-1 pended. The [lorruzl whose duty it “new
iperfurm this bet-1.1m: panic stricken and
1 mount his own safety.
1 “The flames spread almost with the
‘ rapidity of lightning, and the fire falling
from the ceiling upon the performers was
the first notice the audience had of their
danger. Even then many supposed it (1 part
of the play, and were a little time re
strained from [light by a cry from the
stage that there was no danger. The per.
formers and their attendants in vain en
(it‘ll‘tli't'd to tear down the scenery. The
fire [lashed in every part of the house with
u rapidity horrible and astonishing, and,
alas! gushing tears and unspeakable nu
gnish deprived me of utterance.
"There was but one door for the great
est part of the audience to pass. Men,
women and children were pressing upon
each other, while the flames were seizing
upon those behind. Those nearest the
windows, which were very high, were
afraid to leap down, while those behind ,
them were seen catching on tire and .
writhing in the grenteet ngonyof pain and ;
distress. . . . Imagine what cannot
bedcseribcd. AllOl those in the pit 035- f
coped, and had cleared themselves from ‘
the house before those in the boxes could
get down, and the door was for some time
empty. Those from above were pushing
each other down the steps, when the hin
dermost might have got out by leaping
into the pit. There would not have been
the least dimcnlty in dacending from the
first boxes into the pit."-—Richmond Cor.

Roll Call in the House.
A “'ushington correspondent describes
a roll call in the house of representatives:
“‘Roll eall!‘ shout the pages, running
about the corridors of the house wing.
‘Roll call! Yeas and naval Yeas and
nuys!’ It reminds one of the boys about
the theatres or opera singing. ‘Operu
books! Books of the opera! Libretto!
librettol’ The effect, however, is quite
different. if you are in the rectuurunt
when an important bill ispending youwill
witness a stampede when the little fellows
run from table to table with their ‘Roll
calli’ Division of the housel’ or ‘Culi
of the house!’ The latter is a variety,
but the former signals to members occu!
every day. Down into the sub-base
meat, down into the subterranean com
mittee rooms, into the restaurant, into
the her, along the main corridors, among
the reception rooms, and even across to
the ‘Congressional.’ the small boys with
the silver budge skip with the cry: ‘Roll
calii' ‘Roll culll' And the members who
are interested in that particular measure
drop knife and fork, drop gossip with the
India, drop stories with the gentlemen,
drop cocktails and courting and rush to
ward the hull of the house. This is man
aged diflu'ently from a few years ago,
when every member had who on hand
and look out for himself. Now the floor
may show less than a quorum when the
clerk begins to read, and then before the
second call begins for übeentees the men»
here have been gathered in iron therooms
and corridors, and a. pretty full house is
rocorded."—Pittsburg Dispatch.

”pyrofuxin" is given by thcdiscoverer, ‘

Bavaria. Unlike the generality of such
compounds, this new material is not a
derivative a! God tar; or, of any of the
diltillutm of coal, but is owned directly
from coal itself. Pit or bituminous coal
contains most of it, and is preparedby
being broken into nuts. The crude pyro;
toxin is extracted by repeated boiling in
a solution of caustic soda. The pyro
enters into aolutiou and is allowed to
stand for a time. It is then po‘uredofl
and u carbonic acid gas is passed throngh
it. The resultant liquor has a specific
avlty of 1.025 to 1.080, and holds from
an to fifteen grammes of pyrofuxln to the
litbr.
In its purified form the compound is a
fine, nou-triturable substance, without
taste or smell, nun-poisonous and in up
penance like (mocha. Some Rmsinn
