OVT OF THE USUAL.
The sufferers from Spragu6'a disas
trous fire have received a donation of
$133 from the relief committee of Spo
kane. This is but a portion of that
city's liberality, but is especially notice
able as being the last of the funds in the
bands of the relief committee organized
August 4, 18S9, a short time after the
fiery cloud had melted the business por
tion of Spokane to ashes. For several
years nothing bad been said or done re
garding the amount of money still pos
sessed by the committee, and many
learned, with a leeiing oi surprise, mat
money given to aid Spokane could be
turned for the benefit of Spragne. After
the committee bad finished its labors,
for which it was created, there remained
a balance on band of over $600. All but
the portion above alluded to had been
spent for charitable purposes within the
last two years. In view of the many
scandals that have arisen in connection
with the distribution of money and aid
in the time of great calamities, it is es
pecially gratifying to the members of
' this committee that they can look back
npon a difficult trust so efficiently executed.
Great calamities make uncertain the
judgments of men, before considered
good, and laviehness takes the place of
frugality ; sympathy exceeds justice,
and charity lessens frugality. But,
judging from the final action of tho Spo
kane committee, the members proved
themselves faithful servants, who nei
. ther wasted nor withheld when needed.
People who gave so generously to
stricken Spokane six years ago, can feel
a double pleasure that their charity has
been made to cover the stretch of years,
and comes now to Sprague in her time
of trouble.
ATTRACTION OF THE POLES.
drowned. The unfortunate men bad
started in a craft of. their own construc
tion fot the meeting at Astoria, and bad
left the little town of Kainer with
high hopes and expectations. The other
accident happened during the sloop race
Monday. Due to tho fault of its Bail
ing master, the Monogram, a sloop bnilt
expressly for the regetta this year, filled
and sank within sight of many behold
ers. Both accidents were due to the
carelessness of the occupants, and read
a terrible lesson to those who imagine
that the treacherous Columbia does not
require skill and watchfulness from
those who ride its waters. Every sum
mer the same accidents ara repeated,
due to the same causes. A single ven
turesome spirit is often the cause of
death to several, and wherever there is
one who lays aside the rules of prudence,
danger is brought to all. Only can we
hope for a cessation of such distressing
affairs when people learn that the water
at best is a dangerous plaything and
every precaution taken is none too great.
As the time for the presidential elec
tion comes apace, courageous democrats
proclaim belief in the success of their
party in the next great contest. They
give full credit to the policy of the dem
ocratic party for the preeent appearance
of returning prosperlrv, and loudly pro
claim the vindication of free trade prin
ciples. One mistake the democratic
leaders have always made is that they
underrate the average intelligence of
the American people, and forget
Lincoln's maxim that "you can fool all
the people a part of the time, or a part
of the people all the time ; but you can't
fool all the people all the time." The
American people were fooled once, and
badly fooled, but the bitter school of
experience has brought home to them
truths which eloquence and argument
could not impress. The only political
contest next year will be in the republi
can convention.

People who have that infatuation for
.the frozen north which has led men to
court almost certain death over and
again, will watch with interest the ex
periment that is soon to be made from
Europe, provided present calculations
are carried oat. Becoming convinced
that all future attempts to reach the
North Pole will result as past expedi
tions have, in utter failure, a distin
guished European ecientist has con
ceived the not altogether novel idea of
entering the mysterious Arctic circle by
means of a balloon. The illustrated
papers bave published cuts showing the
apparatus which is to convey the ex
plorers and their equipage. The scien
tific papers do not look entirely with
contempt upon this new form Arctic ex
ploration, since in tho age in which we
are living it is dangerous to say that a
thing is impossible simply because we
nor our ancestors have accomplished it.
But the attitude of scientists, at the
bast, iS'inerely a passive approval, only
waiting to see bow the thing turns out.
Tho explorer himself has the utmost
faith m his plan of discovery, and de
clares the mjBtery of the North is about
to bo solved.'
It is a queer strain in humanity, this
desire to reach what the Creator has hid
behind impenetrable walls of ice. Year
after year men are found eager "to cast
themselves upon the frozen ice floes as
upon some strange sacrificial altar."
The fate of Sir John Franklin, DeLong,
and possibly Nanaen and Peary, seem to
have no effect upon tho ardor of suc
ceeding generations, and there will be
expeditions start for tbe poles as long as
the bravo spirit of the early Vikings
remains in human breasts.

The boys, who are practicing for the
Lose tournament, changed their practice
grounds last night and ran on Second
street. Tbe sidewalks were filled with
spectators watching the boys make the
run and attach the bose. Signals are
given by pistol shot to turn on and off
the water. The boys are working spen
didly together and obey the signals
promptly. When the racing cart arrives
practicing will be done all tbe harder.
Unless the teams from other places are
very careful, The Dalle3 boys will carry
away the laurels.
