Tacoms Globe: The Mugwump is filed with
horror at the number of Democratic officers who
have been suppianted by Republicans under the
present administration and yet he fails to see
that these men could not have been in Office I'M
less placed there to SUPP ant Republicans BY the
Mugwump's model civil-servlce reformer, MI.
Cleveland, whose Pharasaical professions are
equaied In warmth and fervency only BY the
vigor with which they were not carried INTO
practice. There Is always and viii be always q
chance for more or less reform of this nature,
but the theory of non partisan public service
will never be carried out. because ii is frnpracs
cable upon It's face When new man has been
appointed head of great business or railroad
to succeed come other man whose administrs-
ton has been condemn by those having power
of appointment. be would have small chance OF
success If obliged to rely for support upon the
friends and allies of his predecessor, who are by
nature opposed to him. anxious to see him fall,
and equally DESTROYS of seeing him turned out
Of Office in favor of his predecessor.
whatcom Bulletin: Many Republicans seem
never to have known, or to have entirely for
gotten. that the success of a right principled
party is of vastly more consequence than the
success or failure, the rewarding or Furnishing,
of any man or set of men. They wiz concede,.
in argument, that nothing, politically. can be
accomplished. except by union of votes and
effort; but they win go to the polls and stultify
their own arguments and position By working
all day against some men on their own ticket
These are generally the men who stay at home
and do nothing until after the ticket is put up.
This very thing has been done in whatcom
county. Sometimes. right here, the low motive
of personal anirnosIty has been made the excuse
tor boiling the ticket or part of it When
that happens, the Democratic smile is about as
broad az the opening of navigation
Puyallup Commerce: There is as much differ
ence between reciprocity and free trade as there
is between sleep and death. Those who cannot
see the difference between exchange among
nations whose interests are mutual and ex-
change between nations whose interests are
opposed may even remain blind to the differ
ence between white and black. Why q govern
ment should open its home markets to the COM
petition of nations whose prime interests are to
destroy the industries of the country wherein
they are thus permitted to deal without impost.
with the same alacrity that they would invite
the exchange of nations that have no competi-
tive interests, is not claimed to be understood
except by the Democratic party and their bizarre
Mugwump sideshow.
Edmonds Chronicle: As q former resident OF
Seattle. the writer takes great pleasure ia watch
ing the growth and prosperity OF that city's
numerous enterprises, foremost among which
we note the great strides now being made by
the PosT-ISTELLfsENcER. With each number,
that journal adds new departments to its many
columns of fresh. crisp news, and as result it
has no peer in the newspaper field throughout
the Northwest.
snohomish Eye: George Francis Train has
decided to make Tacoma his future home and
has purchase two cottages. One he will occupy
himself and the other will be the abode of the
balance of his family. Is Train so much of q
crank that his family can't live in the same
house with him? Train now asserts that under
different management he can make the trip
around the world Ia fifty days. Suckers are
plentiful and he will find his hackers shortly.
In few days Psyche Train will start his
Round the World Educator. Radebaugh has had
the old dress of the Ledger moved up to Wapato
mills and turned over to Citizen Train. Kodak
Wall ia to be the business manager of the enter
prise.
