Dr. Wales who was recently tried
in the U. S. naval court for ineffi
ciency and neglect of duty, was suspen
ded from duty for five years, on fur
lough pay, and to retain his present
number in his grade during that period.
The defaulting postmaster, Hibb-,
of Lewiston, Idaho, has been given
into the eustody of the United States
government by the authorities at Vic
toria, and is probably now at the scene
of his crime. Government defaulters
da not find British Columbia as safe a
retreat as do the president and defaul

UUffENTATlON OF JEREMIAH.
Editor Gazette. In the "Leader"
of the 30th, ult., -31 Democratic fossil
exhumer, undert;signature of "B,''
produces a few extricts from "the pop
ular spee'cli of J udge Jeremiah Black,
on the Electorial Commission fraud."
The true inwardness of Jeremiah's
lamentations is easily explained, when
it is remembered how a Democratic
Congress labored and brought fourth
the Electorial commission, which in
stead of accomplishing the purpose for
which it was designed, only served as
a trap into which the "poor heartbro
ken Democracy," unspectingly blun
dered, and in which it was so firmly
held that to squeal "fraud" was the
only thing possible.
The returning boards also, furnished
unhappy Jeremiah with material for
his la men tut ions.
It will be remembered that the
boards were duly organized, under
laws passed by the legislatures of the
respective states in which they were
held, and although perhaps not in
strict conformity with the require
ments of our national laws, yet they
were in exact accordance with Jeremi
ah's "late lamented doctorine" of state
supremacy.
The principal claim to greatness, for
which the memory of Jeremiah is so
profoundly revived by the moss back
of the present day, was attained chiefly
through his devotion to the doctorine
of state sovereignty.
While we are in this fossil exhuming
business, friend "B," let us dig a little
deeper through another strata of
American history, and bring to the
surface another specimen of the glow-
At a public meeting of citizens of
Sitka, Alaska, held July 14, resolu
tions of regret upon the retirement of worJs of this t msU1 of yo
J. H. Kinkead as governor of the ter jugt to see how ifc will Hppear iu lhe
ritory were adopted. The resolutions light of to-dny.
include expressions of satisfaction as te j j, was in the Autlimn of 1860 a
the public, life and personal worth of I presidentiai election had just been
the retiring governor, regret because I , , Abraharn Lincoln had been
gated provinces', it would totally de
stroy the whole theory upon which
th y ar : now connected."
Encouraged by the opinion of Jere
miah, southern democracy lost no time
in arranging itself in armed treason
against the Union. At this cricia. is
where Jeremiah "lost his dignity as an
American citizen," and thoroughly
proved hims elf "not of the stuff that
martyrs are made o!," neither aid he
"know how to feel when called upon to
die for his country." To put it a little
finer it is extremely doubtful whether
or not that he had a country. From
his opinion one would conclude that if
he claimed a ccuutry at all, it would
naturally be about the size of South
Carolina
But how fared it with the gospel of
Jeremiah when the Nation's hosts of
Freedom were marshalled under the
leadership of the mighty Abraham?
"The water of truth" did "rise grad
ually" and "the overflowing scourge"
did come. "The refilge of fraud and
lies," was not entirely swept away,
only, because of the Nation's magna
nimity, "This mighty Nation," (with
a big N,) "did rise and shake herself,"
not cnl.y as one man, but as millions of
then.: She shook the earth south of
Mason and Dixon's line, and also shook
the bottom out of the gospel according
to Jeremiah. "Justice" trod with
leaden hail and struck with her iron
dads. "God's mills grind slowly," us
ually, but in this instance they ground
a good sized grist in a very short time
after the flood gate had been fairly
lifted.
So much for "the glowing words of
a great man," and while the mossback
may find iu them a treasured relic of
the past, no progressive American will
dig for Nationalism in a democratic
cemetery. It isn't there,
H.
of his retirement before he could fairly
put the machinery of the government
in motion, and sympathy on account
of present bodily afflictions. Mr.
Kinkead first reached Alaska in 1867,
And has always been considered a pio
neer citizen. A copy of the resolu
tions were ordered to be handed the
retiring governor and published in the
.coast papers. They are signed by M.
F. Berry as chairman and Edward H.
Brown as secretary.
The dude representing the dignity
of the newspaper up town put on con
siderable style last week. He prides
himself on showing to the people what
little he knows about grammar and
spelling, and judging from his paper
no one would suspect that he had ever !
learned the difference between a gram
mar and spelling book. He says that
"VV. H.Mansfield.foreman of his office
took a run over to the Bay Saturday";
when everybody suspects that Mans
,field has been the power running the
paper for a year or more, and but for
his presencee in the office the thing
could not have been put out in a half
way passable style,and since observing
the paper which came out during Mr.
Mansfield's absence it is no longer
honestly and fairly elected. The
southern Democratic leaders, Ftung
with rage because of their defeat at the
hands of progressive Americanism, at
once began preparations for the de
struction of the Union. The seed of
State sovereignty, planted by Jefferson
and Calhoun, and nourished by such
Democratic leaders as Davis, Brecken
ridge, Tombs, Benjamin, Vallandighain
and Jeremiah Black, had rapidly de
veloped into the full grown palmetto
tree of secession.
James Buchanan was at that time
occupying the presidential chair, Jere
miah was a member of his cabinet,
holding the position of Attorney-General,
of the United States.
Wheu requested by Buchanan for an
opinion of the authority, vested in the
President, by the constitution to pre
vent secession, he delivered an opinion
which was accepted by the President,
as conclusive authority, for permitting
southern democrats unmolested, to
make the attempt of destroying the
Union.
Following are some of the "glow
ing words" of Jereni'ah's opinion:
"Without the exercise of those
functions which belong to tbe civil ser
vice, the laws cannot be enforced in
suspected but becomes a fixed fact any event, no matter what may be
jn every ones mind. Again he says.
''Some of ourj printers have gone
to the harv-est field, no others to be
had." What an idea ? When a man
running a newspaper sends his prin
ters to the harvest field. A farmer
should just as readily be suspected of
sending his harvest hands to town to
run a newspaper. Anyone could have
guessed from the appearance of the
paper ihat "the printers had gone, and
before leaving, each had thrown a boot
black at the paper." Again he pub
lishes. "Lost, Between Palestine
Church and Corvallis, one Smith and
Weston 38 Calibor Revolver" &c., If
the physical strength which the gov
ernment has at command. Under
such circumstances, to send a military
force into my state, with orders to act
against the people would simply be
making war on them.
The existing laws put and keep the
Federal Government strictly on the
defensive. You can use force only to
repel an assault on the public property
and aid the courts in the performance
of their duty.
If one of the states should declare
her independence, your action cannot
depend upon the right fullness of the
cau.se upon which such declaration is
based. Whether the retirement of the
state from the Union be the exercise
of a right reserved in the constitution

again and then tell the people what
kind of a "bor" he is, he can per
haps thus interest his readers with funny
historical sketches about himself aside
from his knowledge of spelling and
grammar. However we notice that
all patrons of that paper seem to
be highly pleased to realize that Mr.
Mansfield has again returned from the
Bay.so that he.no doubt as heretofore,
will write up and again fill the "Lea
der" with locals prepared by him and
writtenjn the office, instead of filling
the paper with four columns entitled
"Benton County" which has run in
that forlorn organ for four weeks with
out change, besides nearly four col
umns of clippings which were injected
pendence or to absolve her from her
Federal obligations.
If it be true that war . cannot be
declared, nor a system of general hos
tilities carried on by the Central Gov
ernment against a state, that it seems
te follow that an attempt to do so
would be ipso facto an expulsion
of' such state from the Union.
B-'ing treated as an alien and
an enemy, she would be compelled to
act accordingly. And if Congress shall
break up the present Union by uncon
stitutionally putting strife and enmity
and armed hostility between different
sections of the country, instead of the
domestic tranquility which the consti
tution was meant to insure, will not all
the states be absolved fiom their feder
al obligations'! Is any portion of the
people bound to contribute their money
or their blood to carry on a contest
jn the place of local news which ought j iie tj,atf '
to, and would have been written up, The gutes are ooliei)gHea of ona

Senator and-Mrs. Stanford, of Cal
ifornia, have aent to the Grant cot
tage at Mt. McGregor a floral memo
rial representing "Gates Ajar, " formed
of white and purple immortelles, and
each gate is six feet high and five feet
wide. It is said to be most beautiful
and suggestive, the gates standing
slightly open, with an arch above in
which appears the name, U. S. Grant,
set in flowers. Speaking of this an
exchange says: "Much has been said
in the last few years about the ten
dency to go to great extremes in fu
neral display and certainly the country
never had a more striking illustration
of this tendency than now. It is
proper that the burial rites of thegreat
should be conducted with stately sol
emnity anil honor, but costly flowers, a
gorgeous casket, heavy with trappiugs
of velvet and mountings of silver on
exhibition for hours before a gaping
and curious crowd strikes a chord
that jars painfully, and forces a criti
cism to lips that are reluctant to cen
sure either motives or methods in the
presence of death. If, however, there
is ever a reform in the matter of fu
neral extravagance and display it must
begin with those vho can afford these
things, but. from choice bury their
dead without vulgar ostententation.
New York Tribune: The fact that
John Roach's bids for the Dolphin
and lhe three cruisers were $315,000
below anv other contractor's seems to
dispose of the charge that he was bent '
upon plundering the government. His
enemies, however, are equal to the
emergency. Seizing the bnll by the
horns,, they affirm that this very dis
crepancy between his bids and those of
his competitors proves that he had 110
intention of honestly fulfilling his con
tract. Philadelphia Bulletin: The calam
ity may well be called a national one,
for the shipyards of Juhn Raach rep
resented on a grand scale the idea of
American industry and enterprise as
it is represented nowhere else; and to
close these great works means not only
the ruin of John Roach, and not only
the scattering of his thousands of
workmen with all the distress that
such a catastrophe implies; it means a
tremendious blow at the whole great
system of protected American industry
from which this branch of it cannot
recover until an American congress
anil an American administration rise
to the level of the great issues which
are being repudiated at'Washington.
New York Tribune: Mr. Roach's
retirment from business is strictly in
line with democratic policy. He clo
ses his works and yards, discharges
workman receiving $30,000 a week,
and leaves a large force of indust-ious
skilled mechanies to shift for them
selves. He is forced to do this partly
because the times have been hard ever
since the election in November, but
mainly because the administration has
been dealing unfairly with him for
partisan ends of its own. The assign
ment increases the feeling of depress
ion caused originally by the success of
a party committed to the policy of free
shipa and revenue tinkering.
