la eouMcUon with the solutioa of tha aasn-ey question at Everett yesterday waa tha

indirect though pronounced Indorssment

of Gov. HcOraw in hla atCtud* taken aomatime ago. When tha governor of Montanacalled for a convention at SL Lake ta tba

interest of the silver people, the eaeeutlva

of Waahlagton vary reapecifully yet firmly

refused to aanctloa any each gathering aman ofllclal and declined to appointd«legatee. He waa aavarely criticisedand condemned ha oertala quarters

hla sturdy, unwavering allegiance to the

caua* of honest money has tree no in-significant factor la keeping loyal to asafe, sound currency many who might

have hesitated aad poaaibly, through idleclamor, been found Supporting lbs wrong

cause.

LOGICAL PARTY POLICY.

Senator Morrill, the chairman of thafinance committee, to whom waa intruatadthe lnreetlgatioß of tha bo ad laaue, haaacted very wisely. He baa appointed asub-committee consisting at three Demo-

crats. one Republlcaa aad JoneSL of Ne-vada, who is probably classed aa a Popu-

list for thla purpose, aad is at leaat aathorough a fre* ailver man that ha can-not be suspected of favoring the presidentor his cabinet in the matter of tha bondIssue.

The people generally believe Clevelandand Carlisle to be personally honest, anilmost of tbam do not question that aom<vthing had to be dona promptly. The meansavallabls were limited by law, and If therewas any mistake made It was In the fail-ure of the Democrat* to go to tba rebef ofthe government and the country by pass-ing arevised t .r.C bill which should at leastserve to provide a rovenue?one of tba car-dinal principles of Democracy.

The blunder was in ever permitting theDemocratic party to get us Into auch ascrape; but It wss done and the bend tsauewas probably the leas of two *vlla. on* ofwhich could not ba averted. The con-demnation by the great body of the peo-ple 1* not the Issu* of bonda, but the fa-tal mistake In national policy which madesome measure of hasty and Immediate re-lief neceasary In order to save the coun-try from the alarming consequences of animpaired credit.

The constitution of the sub-committee laa guarantee that the inquiry will at leastnot adml; at the fear of any whltewaahlng;and the great preponderance of Democratsprecludes the suspicion that th* Investiga-tion Is to be us*d for the manufacture ofcampaign a>a:*rtal for the Republlcaaparty.

The country Is too much engrossed Justnow in the task of making provistona to

undo ths mischief Which lies beneath thebond Issue, and to outline a policy whichshall afford means by which the payment

of latere*! on th* bonds may b* met. towa*t* much t:m* upon aa Inquiry Intothe irrevocable deeds of the past. Whilethe Democrats are engaged trying to findout how It was done, the Republicans willdevote their energies to determining howit can be undone.

The Democratic party win be logicallytalking ahout the past, th* Republicans

will be logically busy with the future.

There Is no particular res.*oa why con-gress should fool swsy any more timeover the Cuban question. The conditionof the oonteet between the insurgents and(he Spanish forces Is th* same as It waafour month* ago Congress has had amplet'me to decide one way or th* other. Itknows the etst js of affaire. It la advisedof the progress of the rebellion, it Is ac-quainted with the International aspects ofthe question, and every senator and rep-resentative should have made up hi* mind,if he has any.

a ght after the coming campaign, has per-

haps shawn up th* two parties In as fair

a light as eouid be wished. Everybody

knows of the attempt of th* Republican

party to resume agxcie payment* and gat

fre* from the depreciated currency

brought on by tha war. and everybody

ought lo recollect equally well how stub-bornly the Damocrata fought th* rraump-

tfon measures. Many will recall how the

infiatloo erase swept the country becauaa

of Ihe cry that resumption would surely

contract the currency. Tbea It was that

the Bland-Allison silver bUI waa passed.The senate, at the time this measure

came up In 1*77. was composed of thlrty-

e.ght Republicans, thirty-seven l>emocrataend one Independent, and the house wasconstituted of IKS Republican*and 1M Dem-

ocrats. The Republicans had one-half the

senate, and were In a minority of twenty

In the house. Under these conditions, onNovember 1. 1*77. the houae voted on thellland bill for the free coinage of silver.

The vote on this question atoud I*4 in favorand M against. The Republicans stoodnearly three to oneagainat. and the Demo-

crats about ten to one in favor of free coin-age. The ti.il then went to the senate, and,when It emerged from the committee Inthe ahape of the llland Allison bill. 11 WAS

voted on, February 8. IST?, ar.d waa passedby a Democratic majority of aeventeen.

Freeldent llaye* vetoed tht* measure, buton February > U7\ th* question cam* up

In th* houae. on the passage of the bill overthe pre*.'!. Ufa jcto, and the bill waapassed. The Democrats voted In the pro-portion of four-nfth* of their entirestrength In the house in favor of the bill.It succeeded in getting the necessary two-thirds vote in both houses, and thus be-came a law.

Th* law of l*7t w»s succeeded by tha ail-ver purehaae act of IS*>, which was a com-promise measure. Th* arnat* au thencomposed of fifty-one Republicans andthirty-seven Democrats, and the house ofI£7 Republicans. 155 Democrats and one In-dependent. It waa a Republican congressto be sure, but there were in It renegade

m»rubers, who by albtng themaelve* withth* enwmy, coul.l such mischief aswas wrought in the present congress whenthe Dlngley bill came up for consideration.On June S. l v'-<\ Mr. Ward moved a resolu-

tion directing th* committee on coinage toreport a free cjmage b 11. The ItepuMl.-an*gave a majority of nine to one against th*res jluiKin. while the Democrat* votedeight lo one in favor of It. Later In Ihesession the house ptased what Is known

as the C>**er bill, authorlalng ths month-ly purehaae of M.SfO.O## worth cf ailver bul-lion. but stop; -ig the coinage of silver

The *enat* free co ".age bill then went tothe house, where It reached a vote on JuneM, reeuit'.ng in a Republican majority

agasnst the hitl of IW. and a Democratic'ity of ninety tn favwr of it. The two

Ellensburg Localizer: Th* p*opl*of thisCoast have gone more largely Into raisingfruit this year than at any time In thepast. This will prove, we think, moreprofitable than anyi hing else.

Puymllup Commerce: Th* Republicansof Puyallup were never in better shapethan at present. For the past few monthsthey have had all tbe benefits of thoroughorganization, and results are now coins toshow for themselves.

Chehalls Ree: A son was horn Mondayevening to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Murphy. Thismakes five generation* of one family liv-ing in Lewis county. Mre. Frank Dor.a-boe is tbe new boy's grandmother. Mrs.J. M. McDonald, of Napavine, his great-grandmother. and Mrs. McLean, of Napa-vine, his great-great-grandmotber.

Mont* Crlsto Mountaineer: There I*one more triumph which we hope to share,viz: The nomination and election this fallof members of the Washington legisla-ture who will make it their especial busi-ness to wipe the dishonest, cheap money"memorial No. 7" of tbe legislature ofI£S out of tbe statute book. It is a dis-grace to the name of Washington.

Skagit Valley News: The Record manla rapidly getting into the style of all Poppapers, and the words. "gokJbug." "pluto-crat." and other similar expressions flowas glibly from the pen of its Republicaneditor as If he had lx-ea Tears Instead ofmonths in the harness There Is nothingoriginal about this kind of law fodder,but It serves to make the rank and filethink It Is a real sure enough Pop that lagrinding It out.

Brave Money.Bloux City Journal.

Senator Blackburn's denunciation ofthe "cowardly gold which IWi at the firstnote of war" and praise of "the brave andhonest silver dollar which fights th* bat-tles of the country," sounds very pretty,

but as a matter of fact In the l>ig war ofth* 60's a draft couldn't find either silveror gold. The men of the country were as-sisted by the "brave little greenbacks."which Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle de-sire to drum out of service now. Thegreenback stayed then because It was the"cheapest" money.

Beaten Nine to One.Philadelphia Press.

Sound money and the existing goldstsndard Is certain to have an overwhelm-ing majority In the Republican nationalconvention. Free sliver coinage will bevoted down nine to one or more. Thisends all danger as far as the Republicanparty la concerned of stiver inflation. ThisIs over. No more silver dollars will be Is-sued. No more certificates based on sil-ver will be authorized. The St. Louis con-vention will leave the Republican partypledged to oppose either step on any plea.

Whol«Ml« Ruin.Springfield Republican.

The present spectacle of the Democraticparty And* no parallel In Its long historysave In ISSO when It was cleaved by thetseue of slavery The responsibility forthis state of affairs must be I»trmined en-tirely by the fundamental causes, for in-dividual party leaders cannot be person-ally charged with a work of wholesaleruin which wws primarily brought aboutby forces beyond the control of any mao.
