AS PREDICTED.


The action OF the Arizona court, in dis.
missing the six indictments found against
Theodore l.. Stiles during his candidacy
for the supreme bench in this state, con-
firms the opinion expressed by this paper
at the time the indictments were first re-
ported, that the entire matter was neither
more nor less than piece Of personal and
partisan malice
When the case was called in the Arizona
court the prosecution pleaded for continue
ton. and squarely admitted that they had
no evidence to sustain the accusations.
Judge Stiles insisted on an immediate
hearing, and the judge peremptoriIy dis
missed the suit. The result conclusiyely
shows that the charges had not a particle of
foundation.
IL must be great comfort to the voters
OF this state that but few of them were
swerved from their support of Judge Stiles
by this malicious assault. And the Judge
is 10 be congratulated on the promptness
and completeness of his vindlcation.

tall, strongly-built man, with bronze
complexion and Indian features, attracted
considerable attention as he sat in the
lobby of the Grand Pacific yesterday. A
peculiar stiff hat, OF military character ad-
ded to his striking appearance A few
knew him to be General Eli S. Parke, OF
New York, a member of General Grant
staff, and the man who copied General
Lees formal surrender to General Grant.
General Parker is now a resident OF
New York, in which city he holds a
municipal office, but he is generally
known as the chief of the Six Tribes or the
Indians OF New York. He said yesterday
speaking of the tribes under him, that al
though as chief he would nominally re-
main at their head until his death, he was
becoming less their ruler each year.
There are about 1000 Indians in New
York, he said, land at one time de-

civilization has had its effect, and parties

MIR. w. u. TYLER.

When Mr.. c. B. Wright built The Tacoma.
ne designed il to be something more than
mere hotel. II was the central feature Of
an elaborate plan fo- the development Of
the city Of Tacoma. The location of the
building and its whole arrangement were
in keeping With this idea. and in the choice
OF manager there vas exceptional care.
Mr. Tyler came out not merely to superin-
tend the lodging and feeding OF the travel
ing public. but 10 act as the reception
agent OF the Northern Pacific, for the CAPT
taiists and othe. notable and important
people. whose attention in one way or
another, was directed to Tacoma. There
was never happier selection. Mr.. Tyler
made ana has maintained for the The
Tacoma AZ important and unique charac-
ter. II has been unlike any other hotel on
this coast. at least, in the exceptional taste
and refinement of everything connected
with L. Ali this has. of course. been but q
reflection from the character of the man
age-, a reflection which has illustrated not
only the taste but the force OF the man.
Few mer, even though equally accom-
plished, would have been able to impress
themselves upon q public institution as
NJ. Tyler has done. IL is not too
much to say that without The Tacoma
Hotel the city OF Tacoma would not have
been half what !. is today, and certainly
the success Of the hotel has been due
wholly to Mr.. Tyler. His retirement from

pleasant to add that Mr.. Tyler has pros
pered with the city whose fortunes he has
done so much to develop, and that he will
