THE TIN-HoRN PLAYED ANAcoRrEs

The AnacorteS Progress contained. a
few days ago, an article concerning Cap
tain Bergman and Purscr Mcclellan. of
the steamer Fairhavcn. which was a dis
grace 10 even that most reprehen~ible
class of journalism. The paper mem
toned spoke of those gentlemen as
pirates" etc. and declared that they
were engaged in hiring men to pass Ana
eorteS on their steamer for the purpose Of
taking them To "a little town further
down the sound called Fairhayen." We
have not seen the article mentioned but
have been informed that this is its purport.
What pitiable way TO cndeavnr to
build mp town that is. even IL the state
ments were true, which they are not in
one single particular. The facts are that
Captain Bergman and Purser Mcclellan
are both men of honor. unusually accom-
modating and affablc and 50 far from
hiring men To pass Anacortes. they are
forced to refuse passage ON every trip. to
hundreds desiring to come to Fairhaven.
because they have already as many pas
sengers ON board AS the capacity of the
boat will allow. Anaeortes has not
achieved the Importance of being even
the shadow OF rival of Fairhaven. and
this city is notin the least disturbed about
what the band may play down ON that
fiare-up along side Of a mill race between
two islands.
Not long ago some scows with a few
bars Of railroad iron were landed at Ana
cortes and the iron was taken ashore and
over the ground where il is said 1t is To be,
laid, then hauled out Of the way to be-
piled up ON the dock. for the double pur-
pose OF an advertisement and to be- handy
for shipment, when the real estate boom
ers get through and are ready To take
their hats. and sacks. and 60 The idea Of
an affair like that being rival Of Fair
haven is just ridiculous enough to be
hilariously funny.
Yesterday morning when the captain Of
the steamer Fairhaven had landed at
Anacortes. probably for the purpose of
taking of some poor fellow who had
shown signals of distress. fellow of the
place attempted to cut his bow-line with
an axe and the captain gave him such a
thrashing that the victim won't forget If
until long after Anacortes is forgotten.
The fellows associates are angry about
II and that is what's the matter with the
back-action Progress.

Tyranny and despotism. Monarchy means
the very reverse, the antipode of social

radical republicanism even of the parti-
Fan kind. The early Britons found that
the more they paid the warlike Danes,

greedy northern foes and the more they
demanded.
William is not strengthening himself
in his concessions to socialism. On the
contrary, quite the reverse. and in max
