A WORTHY wEsTsIDE MAN.


There is good dea; Of fair timber In
Washington out of which the people may
choose this fall to make senators, govern
or. congressman, lieutenant governor, sec-
retary of state and other officers; but none
is TO be found that is straighter or strong
er than that found ia Colonel George G..
Lyon of Seattle. Both intellectually and
morally he stands erect and stately, like q
cedar of Lebanon. He is republican
from principle as distinguished from q
mere party follower. He believes in keep
ing the party In the right but is too good
republican to endorse any party in
wrong doing. To the republican party as
now organized in Washington territory he
10 "a tower of strength. As editor of the
Times he has preached wholesome doc
trine and as chairman of the republican
central committee he exerts loyal inhu.
ence in favor Of popular rights. He makes
constant resistance to any tendency toward
subserviency Of the republican party to
imIrbper elements that may again seek 10
control 1T. He is worthy of any honor
within the gift Of the people or their rep
resentatives, for he is a man of the people
in the broadest sense.

amo pg the people of Seattle and Tacoma,
on account of the rivalry for supremacy, it
was effectuaily obliterated by the great

editorially says: Upon behalf Of the
people of Seattle, the Journal returns ost
heartfelt thanks to the noble people Of Ia
coma, Port Townsend and other points
who 90 grsndly and promptly came to the
assistance of stricken Seattle. II is
the one rift, the silver lining TO the

city. II IL times like these which

touched by spontaneous outbursts OF sym.
pathy; when all rivalry is hushed and the
only thought Is for the best way in which
generous feelings may be shown. To la.
coma especially does Seattle make acknowl.
edgment of her gratitude. The splendid
sympathy of her people will always re-
main Us pleasant memory to this city,
and her most fervent wish will be that
Seattle will never have an opportunity to

al controversy with MIR. Wright upon the
question OF the duty rpon lead ore, | will
simply state that whatever the treasury
ruling upon the subject may bs the duty
placed upon lead ore by the United States
fiscal laws is | l2 cents per pound. not of
ore but of lead. In trying to
prove that the duty is ~
cents per pound of ore Mr.,
Wright proves too much bccause if such
were the case then no smelting ore unless
a copper ore could be admttted free OF
duty, for some small quantity of lead
would be contained and would. according
to Mr.. Wright, subject the ore to duty
OF $50 per ton. This duty would be far
higher per quantum OF lead than the
duty upon lead bullion which is
only two cents per pound. The
object and intent Of the law
which places duty Of two cents on bull
lion and only one and cne-half cents on
lead when contained in the ore is less val.
liable than lead bullion by just the amount
of fuel and labor sufficient to reduce it to
bullion, 80 that u duty of one aud one.hslf
cents per pound ia In about the same
proportion TO the duty Of two cents on
bullion.
There would be no sense whatever in
placing duty of $50 on ore containing
Is per cent. lead or say 300 pounds, NJ
this would be duty Of ten cents per
pound while the duty on bullion ia but
two cents per pound. MINER

ANOTHER SCHOOL BUILDING.
Three Out of Four of the Board of
Education Oppose It's
Erection.
OF the six members of the Board

OF the six members of the Board
of Education, four were interview
ed by a LEDGER reporter this
morning on the South Side school
building question. The result is
unsatisfactory 70 those interested
in the scheme Of erecting another
building on the South Side, but of
course the opinion OF the Board in
40 way indicates what the will of
the people would be in case the
question comes to 4 vote. Should
the demand for the submission of
the question become sufficiently
great, the Board will order an cleo
ton and it will then remain for the
voters to decide.
Mr.. s. =. Emmons was the first
member Of the Board seen. He
does not favor the erection of a new
school building on the South Side
at this time, for the simple reason
that he thinks it unnecessary.
AS you well know" said MIR.
Emmons, ''our schools Lave a rep
utation for general excellence,
throughout Missouri, that is second
to none in the State. | sometimes
think this is largely due to the
fact that we have all of our schools
in II part of the city, under the
personal management of one head.
Again, two schools will prove
much more expensive than one,
for the accommodation of the same
number Of pupils. The assistant
who superintends the new school
will command a larger salary than
he would were he under the imme-
diate advice of the superintend-
ent, for the reason that when alone
he has more responsibility and
more work. | think The time will
come, and that not far distant,
when South Side or East Side
school will be needed
Mr.. J. T. Nelson had given the
subject little thought and declined
to express himself.
Mr.. D. E. Shea flyers the build
ing of a new school and that right
away. He thinks a building on
the South Side needed. Mr.. Shea
will favor the erection of the build
ing on q lot somewhere in the
neighborhood of Waddingham
Park. His reason isthat he thinks
that the southwestern part of the
city, in the direction OF the FAN
Grounds, will improve rapidly and
that a year or two at that most will
put the site mentioned in the
center of the South Side.
Mr.. Jshn H. Buckley does not
look with favor upon the proposed
new building OIL the ground that i
is not needed. $50 long as tn,
present schools are not in a crowd
ed condition." said Mr.. Buckley

greater than that of operating one
