Editorial Notes.
Cenmlia has a Y. M. C. Assocxar
tion of 43 members.
The Canaan’s-ms has changed
hands, John A. Taylor retiring and
A. E. Pattridge assuming control.
A telegram received to- day from
Ohio! Justice Boyle. says:
“ Cannot reach Territory for Port
Townsend court. Will come shortly
after."
The next term of court. will be in
Much. 1889.
Hr. Pettingill, who has had charge
of the Tacoma News. has retired and
j- enoeeeded by Mr. E. Scsntlin, of
thefilmday Times. It is not known
whether Pettingill concluded to fol—
low his own suggestion and go to
none the -Florids fever patients or
not. Pettingill is a good fellow, but
he“ provoked at the Nugget man
for out lying him.
Om» locel democracy seem to think
that the west side of the Sound does
not need any representation in the
council. Last election, with very in
tense vigor, they helped defeat a.
west aide man, in order to secure the
election of a Wheteorm men. This
year; they have nominated another
mteide man and propoee to do their
bait thnt the west side shell have no
lepruentative. Whntcom cares very
little indeed for west side interests.
Why do our democratic friends ee
teom Whntoom’e interests so much
greater then our own! We are of
opinion that the people generally,
from Shelton to Quilahute, will feel
that they should now be represented
in the upper house of the legislature.
As Whatcom was represented in that
home last legislature, we believe they
will feel yery willing to grant that
privilegexto the west side this aloe--
tion. What do our democratic friends
say of the justice of trying to keep
this important matter on the east
side!

Port Washington, and is a pretty

surrounding country for miles is be

that Kiteap county will poll about
eight hundred votes this year, and
that fully three-fourths of the voters
will nee republican tickets. They
are not in harmony with democratic

he will be elected sheriff. Gen. Oli~

—a worthy gentleman who will serve
the public well. For superintendent
of schools, Prof. R. E. Ryan, the
present efficient incumbent, has been
renominnted. His re-election goes
‘without saying.
For county commissioners, Messrs.
Andrew Weymouth, George Cooper
and John Huntington! are the non»
insea. Mr. Weymouth has served
acceptably for two years. Messrs.
Cooper and Huntingford are among
the best and most capable citizens in
the county; they will make a strong
run, and the tax-payouts will risk
nothing in electing them. The can‘—

The Prohibition Vote
The democratic lu‘uns, all over the
North, is rejoicing greatly over a
prospectively largo prohibition vote
this your. Is the democratic press
interested in the principles of the
prohibition party? Is the real cause,
the fact that, in the opinion of said
press, the prohibition vote is drawn
far more largely from the republican
than from the democratic party? It
this ha 90, is it creditable to tho «Imu
ocratic party? Still they rejoice and
rejoice. Thvy hope that u. detrac~
tion from the republican party will
givo them a few northern states and
thus keep them in power. If our
prohibition friends would ponder
this fact somewhat more than they
do, and mark carefully the avidity
with which the democracy rejoices at
every pronibition advance they would ;
be far more cautious about. pushing"
out into the political arena. Why dol
not us many democrats as republi
cans join the prohibition movement!
Iq it no: because the democratic par~
ty, on tho whole is far less permea
ted with the idea of moral reform?
318 it not because more of the best
ielement of the North are found in
the Republican party! If this be
true, then why do prohibitionists
throw themselves into a helpless mi
nority and help to place in power
the party 0! feeble moral convic
tions?
The eandidnéy of Judge Greene
for Congress will not draw ten votes
from Mr. Voorhees in the whole
of the territory. It will draw a
few hundred of votes from Hr. Allen.
Mr. Allen is n staunch temperance
man, as good a man in every sense
of the word as Judge Greene. We
have yet to find one solid reason why
a prohibition vote should he lost on
Judge Greene, whom he (file Ehppos
es for a moment can be elected.
rather than given to Mr. Allen,
whose election would he assured if he
could have the hearty support of all:
republican prohibitionists. Will it}
he more agreeable to these volezsf
that hy‘their lost votes such amani
as Voorhees is sent to éongress. one]
who represent! no moral principle,l
than that their support should place:
a man of stalwart moral worth like
John B. Allen in congress usuur
delegate? We can not see why it!
should\
; We have no quarrel with Judge
iGreeue. We think he did wrong to
lead an attack on the Republican
‘party just as soon as; he ceased to
draw his pap from the government
cow. He probably had all the moral
convictions a few years ago that he
has now. Yet then he was a very:
devoted republican and now he is a‘
very destructi'éa prohibitionist. Still‘
it is the privilege of every man to‘
stand politically just where he pleaeJ
es. and we have no quarrel with any
man because of his ‘ politics.
Neither do we belie‘vé the election of
Mr. Allen depends at all on the sup
port of the political prohibitiuniste
of the territory. Neither do we be
lieve that the vote for Fieke will do
feat Harrison. As a republican we
desire, howaver, that all the moral
forces poeeible should be concentra
ted in the republican party. a party
of grand ideas—rgreat achievements
and of energetic moral purposes. 1

protection than with t e purpose of
lessening its protective features?
These are some of the questions
which must be answered at the 118
tional polls in November. For my
self, as a citizen and as a candidate,
I do not hesitate to declare that from
long obserVatton I am an unv'raVer-t
in? friend of the protectiVe system.
a a business life now extending
over forty years, I have witnessed
and compared the effect upon the
country of a revenue tarifix tending
to free trade with a protective tarifl'
’encouraging home industries. Un
der the former. the develOpment of
the country has always been arreet~
ed, while under the latter it has uni~
formly been promoted by men who
earn their breai by the swaat of
their brows. The difi'erence between
the systems is that of narrowing the
chances on the one hand and extend
ing the opportunities on the other.
Free trade would open America. to
competition with the whole World.
Protection reserves America for the
Americans, native and adopted. The
industrial system of the country is as
sensitive as is the public credit. A
hostile movement creates distrust in
the public mind, and confidence, the
only basis of successful trade, be»
comes impaired; new enterprises
wither in the bud; capital grows tim
id. the field of labor contracted. and
the pressure for employment inevit- ‘
ably reduces the wages of the worth 1
ingmen. a

TROUBLE ANTICIPATED. i
GERMANY vrou'rns AN AGREEMENT or
con Govsnmnrar.
A Washington special says th
Samoan trouble has reached a poi
which makes its satisfactory settl
meth a matter of very great concern
to the United States. and most care
fnl attention is being paid to it by
our government. President Cleve~
land has recently taken held of the
subject. at d there is reason to be
lieve that it will soon be laid before
.the cabinet for consideration. The
‘recent course of Germany in carry
ing ofi’lthe Samoan king and setting
up an insurgent in his place, certain~
ly appears to he a flagrant iriolation
of agreement beLwceri that govern~
mont and Great Britain and .the
United States, that the automony of
the Samoan island shall not be dis~
tarbed. The Samonns have revolted
agni ‘.St. the king set up by the Get
mans and had him and his party
cooped up in the capital. It is easy
to see that complications more ser
ious than any that have gone before
may follow the present situation. and
there is a strono feeling here. It is
time for the United States to take
some decisive s p toward curbing l
Germany’s aggressions. The cons l
tinned independence and neutrality:
of the Samoan islands is of high im- 3
pOl .ance to this government espeth
ially. because the islands lie practi
cally in the track of all Ivessels using
either of the projected Isthmus ca~
rats. Opinions are divided as to the
best course for this government to
adopt, but from what can be learned
in the state department circles. a
movement of some kind may be ex—
pected soon. and it may not be in the
direction of consenting to any fur
ther aggressive violations of the
German government—Examiner.

A Chinaman was landed in San

Here is the first loophole in the ex

feared that every Chinaman coming

It is diflicult to imagine the Mary

set a bear trap at her smoke-house
door, found her first catch to be the

her. The fellow had been courting
her for some time. Had doubtless
spent all his spare cash in trying to
make a favorable impression. The
widow was probably like most oth
ers, fickle and frimlous, and had
just rejected his suit. But all this
did not justify him in stealing the
widow’s pork, and both parties must
have felt. very mush embarrassed
when they met.
The "Encyclopzedia Brittannica."
vol. XXIII. üblished in 1883, con
tains a sketch of the United States,
in which is included a section devot—
ed to manufactures. The red-ord is
tame enough until the protective era
is reached, and then the British pub
licstion expresses itself thus: “The
decade 1850-’7O was marked by a
stupendous advance in the mechan
ical enterprises.” This is disinterea
ted testimony, and at variance with
that of free traders who te‘l us that
the development of manufacturing
enterprises is impossible under a

A few years ago the free traders
wasted all their sympathies on the
poor farmer, who. accordin to their
assertions, was being groom? into the
dust. by the robber baron manufac
turers. Now they are devoting all
their time to proving that the robber
barons cannot get along unless they
have free raw materials, and the fun
ny thing about the whole afi'air is
that the manufacturers—the alleged
robber barons—tell the free traders
plainly that they want none of their
sympathy, and that they are doing
very well as it is.

Tht Chehalie Nugget and other
dbfisfiahigibah are straining very
hard pr uce the impression that
John B. Allen is a railroad attorney
becaaw he was retained once by the
Norhera Pacific in a case. They are
straining at E that; No one denies
that John B. Allen has it than act
ed as counsel for railroad companies.
Nearly every lawyer of prominent
ability is at one time or another re~
taiu by them in local cases.
Biit John B,“ Allen never was the ‘
regular salaried attorney of the
Northern Pacific railway mil Charles
S. Voorheee was.
Before Mr. Voorheee made his
first race for congress in 1884 he was
the rfigpinr employed attorney of the
Nort 'ern' Pacific~ )and department
and during his iuciifi'h'etrfly of that
ofiice he rendered a written opinion
in which he defended that company
against the rights of a settler of
Whitman county. In this opinion
he declared that
"The equitable title to this tract is
iat this tiflt‘t‘ in the_N. P. B. R. Co.,
and there is no power 61" “thority in
the United States to dispose of the
same otherwise than I]? issuing a
patent thereto to the orthem Pa
lcitic company. While the grant of
’lands to the Northern- Pacific rail
road compahy is flat a rot in pre
senti. and did not attac at the ins—
mediate time when the lands weie
withdrawn from sale, yet the compa
ny did at that time acquire an equit-
I able interest, which it is entirely in
compflent for the United btates to
sbrogate or destroy.”
Thus we find Mf. Voorheee not
only the attorney for the dompany
he now so roundly denounces, but
rendering an opinion that even the
U 1 ited States had no power to wrest
from it the lands it had “equitably”
earned.
But Mr. Voorhees does not draw a
salary from the Northern Pacific now
and he would not only take from it
the interest in these lands, which he
said the U. S. “is entirely incompe
tent to abrogate or destroy.” but
would forfeit the entire grant from
Bismarck t) Puget Sound, although
a democratic president has accepted
every mile of the line. and given the
company that “equitable interest"
which Mr. Voorheee says cannot be §
abrogated or destroyed. 1
These facts are not unknown to I
the older settlers of Washington Ter—
ritory. but Ihere are thousands of
voters wno have come in since 1831.
who should also know the truth. If
opprohium is attached to a man be—
cause he is a railroad attorney cer
tainly Mr. Voorheee is entitled to a
good share of mud, and papers like
the Nugget should know that with
eyery handful thrown at Mr. AUen, a
hucketful will cover the garments of
their own candidate.— alonse Ga
