be, and an institution OF its kind worthy OF
the wealth and growing Importance of the
state. which may not suffer By comparison
with similar institutions in older. and in
many other respects, less progressive
states. The best and easiest way to accom-
plish this is for the new regents to fall
back upon first principles: to commence at
the very foundation and work upward.
The present university site is too valu-
able and too contracted for its contem-
plated uses. The generous donor is will
ing that il shall be sold, provided the pro-
ceeds are to Re applied only TO the purchase
of site for the same purpose in this city
or its immediate vicinity. An institution
of the kind. to be perfectly located, should
be easily accessible and yet measurabiy
secluded. The present site does not meet
the latter requirement. Sites that will be
quite accessible, secluded, more spacious
and commanding many other advantages
over the present one can be secured at the
same or considerably less price than can
be obtained for the present site.
This conversion should be made at once.
and promptly thereafter arrangements
should be made for the erection of univer-
sity buildings worthy of the site, and OF
character in respect to perfection of srchi-
lecture and adaptabiiity TO the purposes
for which they are designed in keeping
with the munifcsnce of the endowment.
In this matter the people of Washington
will expect the regents to study and If
possible improve upon the best models ex-
tant. In anticipation of this course, or

tional establishment of this progressive
young state. This is no place for misfit.

and the paraphernalia must fit their quar-
tiers, surroundings and pretensions. In

Mr.. WHITE AND THE WATER
QUESTION.

Ii there were no other reason for the cleo
ton of Mr.. White to the mayoraIty there
is q sufficient one in his attitude with refer
ence TO the water question. From the very
beginning of the discussion of this matter
he has been straightforward and positive
in his demands for an immediately I'M
proved service. On every phase of the
question he has been clearly and entirely
right. He advocated the purchase of the
plant Of the Spring Hill company. He
advocated an immediate increase of
the pumping facility. He was,
and is, emphatically opposed to
the gigantic Cedar river project with its
blanket debt attachment de was and is
in favor OF the Lake Washington project,
and has time after time urged its imme-
date execution. He has been and is en-
phatically opposed TO temporizing in this
matter. When it was found that we were
not likely 10 get sufficient supply OF
water to protect the city during the sum-
mer, he devised and proposed the scheme
OF stationing pumping engines along
the city front. In short. during
the whole water discussion Mr.. White
has persistently and strongly urged
a course OF action essential to the safety of
the city. If he shall be elected mayor be
may be relied upon to do whatever may be
done toward giving the city an immediate
and adequate supply of water. He knows
just what is wanted, and there will be no
unnecessary delay growing out of ignor-
anee or indifference on the part OF the
MAYOR

wAsHINGToN's EXHIBIT AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.

Mr.. Mark L. Mcdonald, of California, a
member of the executive board of the
Worlds fair, to be held in Chicago in 1898.
is visiting Seattle. He comes with the idea
of stirring up an interest among the
people of this state in the coming great
exposition. Being Pacific coast man he
is especially anxious that the exhibits
from west of the Rocky mountains shall
be OF high order, fully representative in
all respects of this great country of varied
and wonderful resources. Mr.. Mcdonald
met with the board of trustees of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday and
urged upon them in very forcinle argu-
ment the importance of beginning early
the work of ORIGINATING suitable state
exhibit.
The plan which naturally suggests itself
is to turn the matter over to the state gov
eminent. There is, we believe, no other
way by which the exhibit can be made
thorough and systematic; and since the
benefits must rebound to the state at large
ii is eminently proper that the state should
support the charges of preparation and
transporting and of conducting the display
at Chicago. At its next regular session of
the legislature an appropriation should be
made of not less than $4,000, and this
money should be put in the hands of COM
missioners who will undertake to see that
all the resources and all the products of the
state are fully represented. In addition to
this. the local government of each county
should be called upon to cooperate so that
not only the state at large but that each
county in particular shall have fun and adj
equate representation. There may be bet
ter plans than this. but We imagine it will
be very difficult 10 make a suitable exhibit
unless the matter is taken hold of by the
state government. The burden will be too
great for private or local enterprise.
Although the time for the fair is far
ahead il is none too soon to begin to make
preparations for it. The newspapers of
the state ought TO take the matter UP and
discuss it, in order that the legislature.
when it comes together, may have some
definite idea OF the state Of public senti.
meat concerning the matter.

no NEED FoE ALARM.

There is an effort az Seattle ard else
where on the Pacific coast to make q wild
alarm over the fact that eight British war
ships are now assembled at the British
naval station OF Esquimault, near Victoria.
There is 3 presense that there is a special
design in the assemblags of ships and that
its motive is found in international differ
ences concerning rights in Behring sea. As
is well known, the United States is
maintaining its assumed exclusive rights IN
that sea and that these rights are contested
by England. There areindeed very serious
differences OF opinion between the two
countries, but there is not the least likeli-
hood of war. The matter will be settled
just as thousand other questions of equal
importance have been settled, by negotia-
ton. Nobody need have the slightest fear
that there will be any fighting between
these two great nations over the Behring
sea seal fisheries.
At this season of the year it is customary
for repairs. for purposes of drill, and for
many other reasons, to cali the English
North Pacific squadron together at its
headquarters in Esquimault harbor. There
is nothing extraordinary, nothing at all
unusual about the present situation.
