Renton Addition

You are invited to examine the list care
fully and draw your own conclusions.
Many have already built handsome homes
and Renton addition is already recognized
as the most desirably located and choisest
residence district in the city. Nearly all
of the streets are being graded and side
walked and no other residence portion of
the city has shown anything like such
marked improvement during the past year
as has Renton addition. We venture the
prediction that twelve months hence
Renton addition will contain more hand
some residences than any other portion of
Seattle. Nature has made it the Mob Hill
of the city and the public is not slow to
recognize the fact and to act upon it.

An Opportunity

There is still an opportunity to make de-
sirable selections at present prices, as there
are still few choice lots on the market.
When these are sold no more will be offered
for a year at least. Those intending TO
make selections should not delay. Many
were disappointed when the first 100 lots
were sold last year and many more viii
regret this year that they have procrasti-
mated when the last of the lots are sold.

Title and Terms

The title is perfect. Every purchaser re-
ceives a full warranty deed from Captain
William Renton and an abstract OF title.
Lots are 60xl20 feet in size.
Terms are either cash, or half cash and
half in one year, or one-third cash, one

gates openly known as socialists. In the Boston Labor Lcadcr Mir. Frank K. Eos ter observes that the work of that body was mostly of a negative character True enough. But it negatlved the Foster Gompers scheme of lobbying committee on legislation, It negatived the Gompers scheme of an official organ intended to be nominaIly collective and practically personal, In various other ways it rebuked Gomperism, checked its growth and came very near, indeed, negativing Gompers himself. A prOpo- sition was made to curtail the Preoi- dents power by depriylng him of vote in the Executive Council As this was an amendment to the constitution its adoption required a two thirds majority, or l2G9 votes out of the 1903 that were cast. The vote in the affirmative was 1262, or only T short of the required two thirds.
 As the Detroit convention recedes in the distance the importance and value ot it's "neKatlve' work are better seen and appreciated. Such work was the indls' pensable prelude to another, of posi- tive character, which the next COnven. ton is expected to do. It saved the American Federation from the fate Ol the K. of L., paved the way for it. future advance on the lines plainly marked out by the sociaIlstlC nature o the Labor movement, and was to { 1 great extent if not ex 'lusively the re
 suit of the issue made upon those lineI ! by the Central Labor Federation.

BAD GENERALSHIP,

It was with Mir. Gompers as with many leaders in office. Induced by the timid utterances of the few to imagine that the mass was ultra conservative he made himself more conservative still than he believed the mass to beat tempted to lead il backwards and was run over.
 By the way, it is a fact, strange look ing yet most natural that such leaders always lend willing ear to the grum- blings of their timid followers, but never mind the admonltlons of their vanguard, They fear to be deserted by the former and rely implicitly upon the steadiness Of the latter. Not even when they are left by both do they compre, bend their own folly.

bridges at railroad crossings, and by the employment of tlagmen at dangerous points. If we suppose that the accident rate was the same on the roads which made no report, the total number of persons killed was i, ,G93, and of persons injured 27,69s. It is literally true to say that the Nanderbits, the Goulds, the IIuntingtons, and suchlIke vampires, are fed yearly upon the blood of 34 coo people.
 Owing chiefly to the absence of auto matiC COuplers the late of mortality and injury by railroad accidents among the brakemen is especially appalling. From the records of their Brotherhood it ap- pears that one in eighty eight of its members is killed yearly, and one in slXty Suilcrs elther death or total uiSaDi- lty. It appears, also, that a brakeman has only one chance in four of being allowed to die natural death. And yet a certain "poet" that we could name, drunk with blood red wine, discOurses after dinner upon the chances of a brakemen to become a railroad presi dent

RAILROAD POWER.

The Washington Erening Star of the 16th inst had ar. instructive article upon the struggle now ending in Congress between the Pennsy lvania railroad and the people of the District of Columbia. If the corporation succeeds, as now seems likely, in getting what is known as the Atkinson bll' passed in the shape which it desires, it will not only gain Condonment of illegal encroach- ments upon the property of the United States for which it is now under indict- ment at the instance of the Attorney General, but it will secure an additional land grant in the form of authority to occupy with its tracks six small reserva- tions and other privileges, the value of which is at least ten million dollars, without a single concession to the public in return Our Washington contempo- rary furthermore observes;

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The School Conference can point with pride to the practical results of it's aglta- Iethargy by the exposure of it's stupen- dOus effects, the municipal authorizes did more this year to provide school accommodation than they had done in have been completed, with a seating capacity of 6,SS7; seven more are being erected, which will seat l0,0S8 pupils, and seven buildings have been leased and fitted up for the accommodation of 2,S12 pupils. We understand, further more, that the Legislature will be asked to authorize the issue of city bonds to the amount of several million dollars for the purchase of school sites and the construction of additional school hou- ses.
 Of course, this is by no means all we want. When the 20,000 children who applied for education, but could not be admitted because of the lack of room, will have been provided with accommo- dations, there will remain so, GOO or more who do not apply, but ought to be sent to school under the compulsory educa- ton law. The School Conference, how ever, has not disbanded and this and other matters of not less importance will undoubtedly be taken up and pushed to the front with increasing energy.

GIVE IT A WIDE BERTH.

Our readers and friends should make it their business to caution the organized bodies of labor throughout the country against the reports of the Central Labor Federation published in the New York World. In the first place the reports are inaccurate and deceptive, even when they are not absolutely false. In the second place the World is boycotted by the C. L. F.; which accounts for it's maevoence. The report of last Sun days meeting was especially vicious, and plainly intended to cast ridicule and odium upon the c. l. F. and it's late representative at the Detroit Con- vention.

LITERARY NOTES.
CAPITAL, BY KARL MARK.


 The Humboldt Library of Science has just issued two English editions of this great work. One in four handy paper cover volumes at 30 cents a plece, and one elegantly bound in cloth for $1.75. The translation is the same with the English version issued in London. But in point of handiness and appearance these two new editions are vast i'm provement. They are portable, light to carry, convenient to hold and easy to read
 The appearance of the Humboldt Library editions may be taken for an unmistakable sign of the times. Marx great work is reaching the people. The demand for it Is growing; and with the growing demand, the defects of the previous English editions have begun to be felt, and felt strongly. A work of the importance of Capital" should be neither inaccessible to the masses in point of price, nor should its size be of deterrent bulk. So long, however, as only the very few dipped into this store house of learning, such inconvenience were of little importance and but slightly felt. Hence excessive, 1t may even be said extortionate, prices were hitherto charged for volumes approximating a Websters Unabridged in bulk. The Humboldt Library has scented the growing taste for work on scientific political economy; it has also realized | that the whole course of the social movement Is socialistic and with much timeliness it now places on the market these two editions, freed from the seri ous objections under which all preylous ones have labored
 Thus brought within pleasant access to all, Marx Capital will be read by thousands, and opinions, vague until then, will crystahze into convictions after study of that masterly treatise that lays bare the anatomy of produc- tion, of wealth and of poverty.
 The above editions can be had at the Labor News Co.,, 9 E. 4th street. i
