Bill Whitney as Bill Tweed's Successor.


Philadelphia Press.
So now, today. tits recognized by those poll
ticians who know real y what is going on that
the new boss of Tammany Hall Is William c.
Whitney. He is not q member of the organize
ton, but his able and intimate friends are. He
holds no Office in the organization, but the men
who obey his slightest within do. Never in his
most humble relations to Tammany did MAYOR
Grant give such need TO Richard Cookers re-
quests as he does now to those Of william C.
Whitney. Mr.. Whitney does not desire TO COR.
troll Tammany in its minor manipulations He
will leave that to the subordinates. for such
things are too triding for his attention; but he
will control it first for the commercial interests
which he represents ard must protect and next
for those greater political relations which are tn
be developed in the near future. What he will
do with Tammany in respect to the governor

ination remains 70 be seen. Under his direc.

THE ISSUE FORCED.

The partisan character of the coming
city election is a thing forced upon the
PEOPLE of Seattle by the Democratic local
organization. Heretofore it has been our
good custom to select candidates for
municipal offices independent of partisan
motives or partisan considerations. This
plan was first suggested by the Republican
leaders who did not wish to mix city affairs
in the general broil OF party politics. But
for some reason the Democratic managers
have this year forced different method.
At meeting held over q month ago, they
gave formal notice that their party would
nominate aud support party city ticket,
and that every Democrat would be required
to stand by such policy. Of
course the Republicans had no choice but
to accept the issue. They now nominate
q party ticket, not because OF wish
to intrude party affairs into munic-
ipal government, but because the
Democrats have declined to co-ope-
rate in q non-partisan and non-political
scheme. However, in selecting candidates
for the several city offices there has been
less regard for purely partisan considera-
tons than for business considerations.
Candidates have been chosen because of
their qualifications for the work to be per-
formed. They are worthy of support not
more for partisan reasons than for sound
business reasons.

WASTED ADMoNIrIoNs.

At Plymouth church, Brooklyn, New
York, on Sunday. June %. there was
amusing evidence that it is wise for clergy
men to adapt their admonitions to the con-
ditions which surround them, and as
preliminary thereto that they should in
form themselves what those conditions are.
On the occasion referred to, the Indian
contingent of Forepaugh's circus, male and
female, had turned out in paint, feathers
and blankets, and had ridden, the males
on horseback and the squaws in four-horse
coaches. to the church which Henry Ward
Beecher's pastorate had made famous.
Arrived there, they were addressed by Rev.
Lyman Abbott, who feelingly urged upon
all alike the beauties of religion and the
value of education, and especially advised
them as to the most appropriate way to
enjoy vacation. As most of them were
Crows and Blackfeet. they did not under.
stand word he said.
But turning to the squaws, who were all
Sioux, and generally familiar with our
language, he gave them a short lecture on
dress, advising them against high heels and
tight shoes, and urging them, above all
things. to avoid tight lacing. The squaws
listened with lively interest, and after the
sermon. in order to firmly establish them
selves in the Doctors good graces, they re-
tired with him to the lecture-room and in
sisted on giving him ocular demonstration
that they wore neither shoes nor corsets.
Hereafter DR.. Abbott will adapt his ad-
monitions to the facts.

prosperity. In common with all other
parts Of the Pacific coast this state is some
what indebted to the wealth which flowed
through and out Of Sacramento in those
early days, and to the great enterprise that
originated with her citizens, which in this
period of Sacramcnto's sore distress should
not be forgotten.
In leading editorial the leading news
paper of Sacramento on the anniversary OF
national independence made statement
which Washington under existing circum-
stances cannot afford TO disregard. Sacra-
mento is o member of the California Board
of Trade. One of her citizens has been
honored with the chief Office and the man
agement of that organization. But Sacra-
mento is delinquent for her annual assess
ment as a member OF that body. The
amount is $780, The local board is out of
funds and is not able to raise the where
withal TO meet this demand. The super
yisors can find no authority for contrib
uting the sum out of public funds. The
venerable old capital city of the Golden
State Is about to lose her membership.
OF course this is not matter calling for
action by Washington as state or by any
of the chief cities. 1t can hardly claim
cognizance by leading newspaper of
chief city. except as in the present instance
by way of sympathy and suggestion. 1t
Seattle were similarly situated some citizen
of moderate means or some minor journal
would foot the bill and suppress any public
announcement of the matter.
But in California it is different sacra-
mento must lose membership in the State
Board. and suffer humiliation, ii she is left
to depend on her own citizens or those of
the state. This Is case for some OF the
minor metropoli OF Washington, or of some
of their influential journals, to meet. Ana
cortes or Ballard; Latona. Fremont. Blaine,
Sehome. PuyalIup or Snohomish, should
take this matter in hand and forward
check to save California's proud capital
from disgrace.
