Is the sum We know.
why do you mourn the DAYS that po-for the
same sun shines each day.
Ever a spring her primroses hath and aver
May her may
Sweet as the rose that died last year ia the rosa
that Is born today.
Do we not, too, return. we men. az ever the

CHARACTERISTIC METHODS.

It is characteristic of Democratic poiti-
cal management that it should pursue the
methods of secrecy and falsehocd; and it
is therefore not surprising to find that q
dirty campaign" has been instituted in
this city. The first step toward the prose-
cution of this campaign is q confidential
circular from the secretary of the Demo
cratic executive committee urging unity
and organization" So far as the mere tact
is concerned there Is no cause for
criticism In this action, but the in
fanny of the thing lies in the
gross and false statements urged with
official authority upon those to whom this
circular is addressed. The secretary de-
clares among other things that the RE
publicans control the board of registra-
tion"-implying an insinuation which he
is too cowardly to formulate into direct
charge, and which he knows to be false.
He further declares that the ''vile and
vicious element are interested in Re-
publican success" - which he knows
to be false. Still further, he de-
clares that the present Republican mayor
"spent 5000 in the last campaign so that
by his official position he could be able to
put the machinery of this great city in OPP
Grafton for the aggrandizemento of himself
and his friends, and hopes by the same
method to perpetuate his party in power
all of which is false. He goes on further
to say that the Republicans "have
money" which they employ to "buy
favoritism and to reward strikers"
and that they command the law
less and the vicious again false. The
secretary then urges Democratic organiza-
ton to the end that the ''lawless and vi
cious element be held in check" tina the
"city shall control its own water-w orks,"
and that the city "shall be governed by
and for the people instead of a ring Of
tricksters and professional politicians"
There is much more of the same sort. A
viler compound of lies and lying insinua-
tons could not be compounded. 1t is
designed for effect among those who
it is imagined give little attention
to the political and governmental situa-
ton of Seattle and whose credulity it is
hoped to play upon. Such an address,
under the circumstances. is not less an in
suit to those to whom it is addressed than
to those whom it directly maligns. It is
an insult because it presumes that they are
uniformed, stupid and easily deceived.
But this sort of thing will not succeed.
1t should and will meet with rebuke from
those to whom it is addressed and whose
ignorance and unreasoning prejudice it
presupposes. The best answer the Repub-
lican managers can make to it is
to ignore it and to pursue their
campaigns contest which the DEM
ocrats have forced upon them-in an
open and candid way, resting their claims
upon the principles of their party, the
character and qualification of the candi-
dates whom the party will name and upon
the dignity and propriety of their methods.
Not upon any account should they permit
themselves to descend to mud-throwing
which should be left to those who enjoy
it and who are incapable of decent and
manly methods.

THE ELECTION BILL GOES OVER.

The postponement of the Federal Elec-
ton bill is really O concession to Demo-
cratic power in the Senate. 1t illustrates
what may be accomplished by minority
In legislative body when united and skill
fully managed. OF course, the Republi.
cans, ii they had held together, could have
put the thing through, but it seems that
a majority did not feel that this would be
wise or expedient. but that it
would be better TO give way
under an arrangement which
secures consideration of the measure early
next session--three months from now. In
common with the vast majority OF the Re-
publican party, the PosT-IErELLIGKNcER
believes that this measure is necessary 10

If the dispatches state facts as to the unpro-
voked firing into promiscuous crowds by the
Pinkerton men who were hired to suppress the
New York strike. there can be no two opinions
on the subject These officers should be
promptly and severely punished. 1t is hard to
imagine circumstances that would justify the
use OF firearms against promiscueus street
crowd including women and children. And
even an outbreak by men should be of serious
and riotous nature to justify such use. Officers
should be given to understand that the taking
OF human life is only to be resorted TO in dire
emergency, and is to be avoided whenever such
course is at all practicable Killing is the last
thing to be thought Of and peace officers are
unfit for their vocation who will not take con-
siderable personal risk before resorting to it

employment OF Pinkerson, therefore, seems
wholly without justification in any view Of
the matter, and if it was done with knowl-
edge and approval of the desperate and
reckless character of those whom he was
to employ, the fact involves grave re-
sponsibility for the murderous conse-
quences that ensned. and is a matter of
concern to right-minded citizens, respect
full of their country and its institutions,
not only in New York, but throughout the
United States.

Schumacher at Butte.
Rutfa Miner

After the lapse of twenty-three minutes the
Jap, by a rapid movement OF his right arm,
caught the strangle hold. and in a moment it
became evident that Schumacher was gone His
neck was squeezed as though in the folds of a
python. His face became ashen his eyes seemed
ready to burst from their sockets, and when he
had been reduced to helplessness by shutting
of his wind and interfering with the action of
the heart by squeezing the jugular, Matsada
gave him toss and landed him square on his
back. where he laid struggling for breath for
fifteen minutes. He was SO severely injured
that he was unable to respond when time was
to the Jap.
