THE COMING DAY.

All thought of the Fourth of July was
driven from the minds of the people of
Seattle in 1889, who were still staggering
under the shock of the disaster which
befel the city scarcely o month before.
The following year, the city was under
canvas, toiling amidst accumulations of
brick and mortar, stone and iron, with
streets torn up and tnoroughfares impass-
able. It noticed the anniversary as it
passed by, hating only moment to raise
shout and metaphorically fire a saluta-
tory gun, but the promise was mutually
made that this year Seattle would join in
good old-fashioned celebration of the
nations day.
That promise is in course of fulfilment.
An enthusiastic committee has taken the
preparations in hand and its efforts have
been generously responded to by the citi-
zens. They have not only made liberal
donations to the general fund, but have
Loyalty set about the decoration of stores
and houses, and in every way, direct and
indirect, contributed to the success of the
celebration.
The indications are that an immense
number of visitors viii be here from all
parts of the state, and specially cordial in
vitations have been extended to the col
onial cities in the states neighborhood.
Private citizens can do much to make
the celebration one of the landmarks in
the city's progress, and if they enter into
the spirit of the occasion Seattle will have
reason to be proud and gratified when the
time comes for reviewing the events of the
day

The particular paragraph in Mr.. Bag
ley's recent interview to which Mr.. Korn
took exception in the Aldermen's meeting
last night, and for which he proposes to
call him to account, is as follows:
$50 far as Mr.. Korn is concerned, / don't
think any one is ever surprised at any vote he
may cast he and Mr.. Miller attended sew
eral meetings of the committee. Joined in
the outside work and. while they objected 10
some OF the minor details of the proposed ordin-
ance, they certainly gave the rest of the CON-
mittee to understand that in its main features
II would receive their support, and personally
feel that they have added duplieiiy to their gen
sral cussedness,"
This is from the report of an interview
with Mr.. Bagley printed in the Posr-
lNrELLIeKNoER last Friday. and related to
Mr.. Korn's part in the rejection of the
retrenchment ordinance. Mr.. Bagley spoke
with the presumption that Mr.. korn voted
to reject the ordinance, while in fact he
was not present at the meeting. and of
course did not vote ut all. But while Mr..
korn did not vote TO reject the ordinance
he took good care 10 be absent on the night
1t came up-so probably Mr.. Bagley was
not so far out of the way as the yirtuous
korn would like Ia have il appear.
