rms MUNICIPAL sr.rcerE.

The municipal campaign of 1884 has
now fairly begun. It premises to be
hot and vigorous. There will be no
Republicanism in il, no Democracy and
no Independence there will be but tbs
two sides - one headed by what is
known as the Law and Order League.
backed by the churches. the temper
ance orgsr izations and the women, and
the other by the liquor dealers and
their friends. There is noguestion of
prohibition in the fight. for prohibition
ia not allowed by our charter nor ID
there any question Of high license, for
by some mysterious agency high license
has been legally forbidden IN Seattle,
while permitted elsewhere. Ii is gen
orally understood that the power to
regulate and restrain the liquor traffic
has been vested in the city authorities,
and that the object of the League and
its allies Is to see that this power Is
used. The present Council has iisre-
garaed this power in a shameful man
nsr by openly licensing men to engage
III tile LIAk4J WIZ uhvc OcCu GUuNlCtc0
in the District Court in this city of the
commission of infamous crimes.
1t will not be questioned by
all right minded persons that this
power to regulate and restrain should
be exercised, that the vile dens may be
rooted out and the neral atmosphere
purified. The one element, as is gener-
ally understood, is aggressive in the
matter, and is determined upon a
change in the present order of things,
If possible to be secured the other ele-
ment is defensive and want to be let
alone. Both anticipate a hard fight,
and both have long been preparing for
it. The result will be told in these col
umns on the morning of July 18th.
To be a voter one (either male or fe-
male) must be over the age of twenty
one years. must have lived in the city
six months, must have lived within a
particular ward ten days, and must be
registered.
The officers to be elected are a Mayor.
Councilman, an Attorney. Assessor and
Chief of Police. Six of the Council
men will be elected for the term of two
years the other three Councilmen, May
or, Chief, Attorney and Assessor, for
one year each.
No person is eligible to any Office in
the municipal corporation who, at the
time of his election or appointment, is
not entitled to the privilege of an eiec-
tor according to the laws of this Ter
rit0ry.
The contention anticipated in the
coming city election will lead to one
good thing, and that is full reRistra-
ton and heavy vote. 1t will also tend
to secure a class of officers who, feeling
a dependence upon an interested and
determined people. will be more zeal
GUS and faithful in the discharge Of
their duties. An active campaign means
no i'll to the city.

woMAS,s MEETING.

The woman's meeting held Wednes-
day afternoon in the Congregational
Church, was the largest and most en-
thusiastic of it's kind ever held in this
city.
The exercises were opened by an in
strumentai solo by Miss Minnie Thorn
dyke. According to previous arrange
ment Mrs. @. X. Jsnner acted as chair
man. After a few appropriate intro
ductory remarks. she introduced the
first speaker, Miss Leila j. Robinson,
who read most interesting manuscript
upon the Public Responsibilities of
Our Women" Ii contained many
points of practical importance to the
new citizens. She explained how she
had been converted FROM the censerva
tive class to that class who believe in
equality before the law" II had
thought Il must be extremely imprscti-
cable and undesirable that women
should be subject to jury duty. But 1
camel saw ,cds conquered" She
then demonstrated the position of wo-
man suffrage among the important is
sues of the day, in the great common
wealth of Massachusetts. How suddenly
the ladies were granted the privilege of
voting at school 6lections, and how
about 800 of the gentle sex improved the
opportunity in Boston, With It's popula-
tion Of So0, 900 people, more than half of
whom are women. She showed them the
responsibilities that are resting upon
them, especially during this most inn
portant municipal election. mo wo-
man In Seattle can free herself from the
responsibility of voting. For IL she
does not cast ballot for the side with
which her sympathies are. her silence
will serve as ballot for the other side"
Mrs. Clara b. Colby also addressed
the meeting. Though speaking extern
p0raneously, she showed herself 90. be a
woman Of unusual ability. The prin-
cipal point in her address was that all
the nation was watching this Northwest
corner. IF the move 10 successful here,
your actions and words will be mention.
ed and quoted all over the Union. How
necessary In II tnen that You improve
this great opportunity. With the eyes
OF the nation turned toward You and
yours, how can You be laxf There IN no
doubt IL you are successful here, the
fact will prove an immense leverage In
the hands Of woman suffragists all over
the land"
Both Of the professional ladies might
well be pleased with the audience which
greeted them. as it contained many OF
the beat thinking women Of Seattle.

JAMES STREET GRApE.-The Chronicle
evidently speaking for Mssers. keenan,
and wusthof. bondsmen on the James
street improvement contrac., also CITY
Councilmen, says they are ready to
complete the contract. but do not wish
TO do 90 without receiving assurances of
their pay from the property owners in
terested. They also do not wish to
stand several lawsuits before collecting
the money due them for the work. This
sort of talk Is foolish. IL is not custo-
mary for property owners 20 give
such assurances, here or anywhere else,
u Is generally considered enough that
the performance of the work is a mort
gage upon their property, for which it
can be sold, and that any further assur.
ance should be demanded ia absurd. II
Ia also ridiculous to talk Of the Contract
ors or bondsmen standing several law
suits before collecting their money"
The city, aud not the property owners,
pays for the work, and the city, and not
the contractors, will stand the lawsuits.
Wnsthof and Keenan, are legally bound
70 complete the work, and they are adj
ditionaIlv bound Ia honor as members
OF the City Council. Talk Of municipai
corruption is justified when such acts az
these are broughs to Ii yht. That bonds-
men ON other streets should be CON-
PEELED 20 complete contracts because
they have no friends la the Council,
while other bondsmea are released be-
cause they are members Of the Council,
10 simply monstrous.

FARM GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Vines on Houses.

The american Garden notes the pre-
vailing opinion that vines make houses
damp, for which reason there are not
nearly so many cottages and houses
beauti6ed with vines as there should
be. 1t is only when the climbers are
allowed to cover the caves and obstruct
the cutters, or find their way under the
shingles, that they become Objectionable.
and these objections should, of course,
be carefully guarded against To the
same effect the Gardeners Monthly re-
marks: "Vines should always be kept
cut down below the roof 1t is little
trouble to do this once year, but we
cannot get even our shoes blackened
without some trouble. Those who know
how beautiful and how cosy looks q
cottage covered with vines will not OBJ
iect to the few hours labor it requires to
keep vines from stopping up the gutter.
Vines really make the wall dry. The
million Of rootlets by which they adhere
to the walls absorb water, and an exam
inqtion will prove a vine covered wall to
be 'ss dry as an old bone One great
advantage of vine covered cottage, not
often thought of, is that it is cooler in
summer and warmer in winter than where
there is but mere naked wall.'n

some diet for fowls during cold weather,

some diet for fowls during cold weather,
and excellent for producing eggs, ia
found in warm mixture of boiled pota-
toes, middlings, ground oats or barley
meal with dry mustard, pepper or gin
ger, mixed for breakfast scraps from
the table, boiled vegetables, pieces of
meat and screenings for dinner, the
screening to be scattered through the
loose chat or dry leaves on the hen-housc
floor to give the fowls exercise; corn and
buckwheat or corn and barley for supper.
The best way to feed fowls is to throw
them just what they will eat up clean.
1t is difficult to say just how much grain
should be given without watching the
fowls. Usually they should not be fed
grain but twice day; still if eggs are
the point sought for, and the fowls lay
WELL it may be desirable at times to feed
three times per day. A successful feeder
gives whole corn every night, with oats
and buckwheat alternately morning and
noon, with the grain sometimes boiled.
He also gives them boiled corn at noon
and soft feed of Indian meal or shorts,
twice week, mornings. Once or twice
a week he supplies to hundred fowls a
boiled beef head.

The Dog the Bravest Animal.

People speak of "brave as a lion"
The lion is not brave; he is coward
when the royal Bengal tiger, regarded as
his equal, is presented; he hesitates,
makes great parade, but does not get
very near. The dog, on the other hand,
will assail lion, tiger, grizzly bear,
an elephant, a dog, or a man, and he
does not stop to count the size of his
opponent. Many man has been saved
because his little dog, who is as quick as
a flash, has annoyed bear, behind, that
was pursuing the man to death; he
would turn to take care of the dog, which
would of course dodge back and keep out
of the way of the bear, while the man
would be gaining distance, and when the
bear turned for the man again, the dog
was at his heels biting his ham strings
We know of nothing but dog that will
fight n foe forty times his bigness, or
one of its own kind and bigness to death,
with such unqualified and eminent
bravery; and, therefore, we account the
dog the bravest thing that lives. -Phreno-

A Mexican Entertainment.

When troop of friends invades some
lonesome hacienda in Mexico for visi-
tation, great is the ejoicing thereat !
Not only is the fatted calf tigurative-
ly slaughtered, but the finest bull the
estate affords is also sacrificed upon the
altar of hospitality, in the form of bull
fight, for the amusement of any who may
care to witness. The great r'urt yard
in the center of the square Of fort like
buildings is transformed into a Temporary
plaza de torros, professional matadorcs
and picadores are sent for, the word
goes to all outlying ranches that "free
show" is about to transpire. As result,
a crowd is sure to appear at the APP
pointed hour-even in the most isolated
sections, where one had supposed no
human beings had dwelt outside of
the haciendas-and with the graceful
hospitality which Is heritage of
this easy going race from their Moorish
progcnitors, all are welcomed to come in
and make merry with the lords of the
land. A bull fight costs no more than
ball, although the best torro on the place
is sacrificed, and the pay of the profes.
slonal fighters is about the same that
skilled musicians would receive for
making dance music. Generally horse
or two is also killed in the encounter.
but these are the aged and worthless
ones, selected for the purpose, because
their days of usefulness are over. After
the matadores, in their Spanish doublcts
and curious spangles, have distinguished
themselves by first tormenting and then
killing the rampant beast for the amuse-
ment of the motley multitude, the dead
bull is then turned over to the mob. who

it and roast him whole, enjoying grand

Recipes and Household Hints.

The grated rind and the juice of an
orange add much to the flavor of ginger
cake.
Green tomatoes are very nice if cut
into thin slices and rolled in flour and
fried in butter and lard mixed.
A few drops of ammonia will be eff
fectual in removing grease from the dish
pan, and it is a good plan once in q
while to add a little to the water used to
cleanse the sink.
If you fear that preserves of any kind
are liable to ferment, they should be
heated to the boiling point and thor
oughly scalded, to be safe for the winter.
The same is true of soup stock.
Fried apples make a nice entree, cut
across the core in slices, and then Drowned
in lard, or butter and lard mixed; drain
them and serve them hot They make a
nice garnish for roast pork when pre-
pared in this way. Some cooks use
beef drippings instead of lard and like
the flavor better.
A tidy made of crazy patch work is a
novelty. The pieces chosen for it were
small, and the embroidery was delicate
and very pretty. The patch was pressed
so that it was perfectly smooth. The
border was red satin ribbon an inch
and three-quarters or possibly two inches
wide, and this had vine worked on it
in canary colored silk.
Plates should always be sent to the
table warm for dinner. If placed in the
oven they are apt to crack or become
discolored. The best method is to dip
them in boiling hot water, and let them
remain for a few moments. Dry quickly {;
pile and set on the table. Tea cups
should always be dipped in hot water
before pouring in the tea.
Potato fritters are very nice for sup
per, and are made in these proportions:
three large potatoes and three eggs, two
tablespoonfuls of cream; boil the pota-
toes and beat them until they are lat;
beat the eggs very light, and mix them
with the potatoes, add salt to your taste,
mold the potatoes into round balls, sift
flour over them, and fry until brown in
hot lard; drain them on q napkin before
serving.
If you have soiled white Spanish or
cachemire lace, do not throw it aside as
worthless, for it may be colorcd with
some of the dyes now to be found in
small packages. The lace may then be
used in great many ways. One way is
to trim the edge of tides made of strips
of ribbon and lace, or of ribbon and
velvet, or of those novelties for the
backs of chairs made of strip of plain
silk placed on each side of very ele-
giant strip of crazy patchwork.
Here is an excellent recipe for veal loaf.
Chop three pounds of lean veal, and
three quarters of pound of salt pork
very finely. See that during the opera
ton of chopping they are thoroughly
mixed. Roll half dozen soda crackers,
beat two eggs, and stir the cracker
crumbs in with them; season highly
with pepper and salt and mix with the veal {;
put this into an earthcrn baking dish,
press it in until it is solid, cover the top
with cracker crumbs and bake it in a
hot oven for an hour. Let it become
perfectly cold, then take it out of the
dish and cut it in thin slices and send
to the table. The baking dish should
be well buttered, so that the meat will
slip out easily, without crumbling.
