Whitman County's Tax Rate.
A ADJUSTMENTS.
A show Worth Seeing.

The large audience who followed James T.
Powers straight Tip last night and planked
down their money at the box Office of the Seattle
Opera-house had not the slightest cause to re-
gref the "steer." Not one present but seemed
satisfied that he had had ssruu for his money"
The show that they saw was one that fairly bub-
bied over with fun of q wholesome kind from
start to finish. "a Straight Tip" while almost
devoid OF plot, is yet replete with situations
which afford abundant opportunity for pleasing
satirical work in travesties of popular fads and
styles. Mr. James I. Powers, as Dick Dasher,
verified the excellent reports that have preceded
him, and took his audience by storm with his
inimitaole mimicry and pantomime work. His
burlesQue OF the famous skirt-dance OF Carme n.
cita was perfect.
Peter F. Daily, In the character of Jack
Potsand Pool, gambler, shone most bril-.
Nantly in the race track scene, where
his imitation of the glib-tongued bookseller
was excellent Albert Hart comedian whose
merit ranks as high does his towering form
in inches, helps not little In making the farce
the success that il is by his filling of the double
role of Howlaud Taire, an actor and A. Talbout,
Il follower OF the races. The work of Colonel
Ole Folks, as Lead P. Cinch, was exceedingly
clever. Among the numerous pleasing specially
features was butterfly dance by quartette OF
pretty girls. AS well appreciated any part of
the show was the splendid singing of the Clip
per Quartetta, which won them encore after
encore.
All in all, ga Straight Tip" is one of the
brightest, cleanest, wittiest farce comedies that
has ever visited Seattle. The show will be re-
peated tonight at the Seattle opera-house, and
there should be standing room only.

70 promote charity by applying the fund
as nearly a. possible in accordance With
his supposed intention.
The custom Of the Massachusetts, courts
Is to seize hold of charitable intent and
carry 1t out as nearly as possible, despite
all difficulties attending the entertainment
OF the trustee, or the vesting of discre-
Ton IN him, or some uncertainty in the
specific objects of the trust.
The New York legislature, however. has
gradually extirpated from its statutes the
Old English law Of charitable uses under
which the courts of New England continue
to give liberal construction to wills in
order TO uphold charity, and her court
OF appeals in the Tilden case decided
against the viii because of the uncertainty
attending the trust and the difficulty CT
controlling so vide discretion vested in
the trustees. The purposes of the trust
were clear enough; the foundation of
free library in the city of New York. The
sanity of the testator was undisputed and
indisputable, and yet the highest court of
New York holds that when sane man
declares by his will clearly his wish to
devote his property to the creation of
free library, his design must be legally
defeated: that is. public equities are less
sacred to courts than technical legal
justice.

Two weeks ago Colonel Mines began 10 drink

drunk in the gutter, was sent TO the work
house on BiackweIs island, and died there
Thursday morning.
OF course great deal will be made of this
story. The public, which is watching the
Kelley cure with interest, will give at least as
much attention as il deserves TO the case of
every backslider. II should be remembered,
however, that the backsliders are few, and that
the publicity given by Colonel Mines to his
reformation may easily make his relapse seem
more important than it is. The Kelley cure

tasted drink for two months before his treat

"The Presidents" Plot.

Tomorrow night 1.-The President" opens at the
Seattle Opera-house, and will continue Friday
and Saturday evening, with Saturday matinee.
The story of "The President" is interesting.
Christopher Crockett, the prospective president
OF the Deep Down Mining Company, Is, with his
wife and her sister, stopping at the Fifth Avenue
hotel en- route for Europe. They read in the
newspapers a dispatch from the West announc-
ing that Mr.. Crockett is an embezzer. His wife
is frightened and induces her husband to put on
the livery OF a servant in order to avoid being
recognized by the police. Then the usual drum.
mer, who is trying to find Mr.. Crockett in order
to sell him bill of goods, is taken for q detec-
tive and a detective is taken for q
drummer. Finally the drummer is
inveigied into announcing that he Is
Mr.. Crockett. He is thereupon promptly ar
rested, but instead of being taken to Jail Is al
lowed to wait about the hotel in the custody OF
the detective. Mrs. Crockett, in order to Keep
up the deception, orders dinner. Nr. Jack In
nett, the drummer, orders wines and cigars
galore, much to the horror Of the genuine Mr..
Crockett, who, disguised as a servant, is obliged
to wait on the table. Just al the false Crockett
is about to be taken to jail he receives a tele-
gram from his wife announcing the birth of
twins. In his Joy he betrays himself, and the
real Crockett Is arrested. At this moment an.

THE rHREE-oENr REBATE.

The ordinance introduced into the city
council by Alderman Miller and Delegate
Jones, establishing rebate of per cent.
on city taxes has the merit of being in &C
cordance with the provision of the charter
requiring that the assessment and collec-
ton of city taxes shall be made to har-
monize with those of county taxes. In
every other respect the movement is I'M
wise.
1t is unwise because 1t is too late. A
large number of people have already paid,
and nearly 400 receipts must be made over
again. Either those who have paid must
make another visit to the city hall
at greater loss of time than
the rebate is worth, or they will
be left with sense of injustice. The in
ference would be that it is a mistake to
pay taxes when they are due, and that the
best course is to wait until the last
moment in hope of discount.
1t Is not measure of economy. because
the money so FASTENED into the treasury
cannot be used to redeem warrants except
during the months of January and Febru-
airy, and at 10 per cent. the interest saved
on the warrants would be for that time
only 166 mills, so that instead of saving
interest the city would be out of pocket
1874 mills more on every dollar it took in.
The city tax is so low this year that the
inducement to the individual would be
exceedingly small, but the discount would
require as much calculation on each trivial
amount as on large one. Only wealthy
property-owners would derive an apprecia-
bla hope6t

lived as rule, although be is seldom a


total abstainer.
But if Byron had never drank gin he
would never have secured the marvelously
robust mental health of Scott; if Poe had
never drank any whisky he would never
have been Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes,
Hawthorne or Emerson in moral or intel
lectual health. Byron and Poe were from
childhood cursed and colored with the
faint of q morbid, diseased mentality.
Men of genius, of unfortunate parentage
and unwise education, intemperance short
ened sadly their days, but no sobriety, no
habit of life would have substituted for
their sick souls the exquisite mental salu-
brity that was the gift OF nature to Scott
and Longfeilow. Byron's ancestors on
his fathers side were line of notorious
rakes, duellists. gamblers, drunkards and
scoundrels. With such blood in his veins,
educated by mother of uncomfortable,
passionate temper, his hereditary endow-
ment was the temperament of excess.
Out of such ancestry and parentage no
healthy mind could be expected. Drunk
or sober, neither Byron nor Poe could
have ever produced a healthy book or
lived life of conspicuous moral health.
They were incorporate and dissolute, not
because they were men of literary genius,
but because they had inherited the tenn
permanent Of excess.
DR.. Holmes said that "every child could
be saved If the physician were called in
time, but he should be called 200 years be-
fore the child was born," while Agassiz said
that the offspring were not only children
of father and mother, but of grand parents
as well. Men are born with moral as well
as physical taints, which only careful
nursing and blessed early formative In
fuences can obliterate or keep dormant.
