small: what more could q frog desire p
Under these fattering circumstances the
Ohio Republicans are not likely to listen
very patiently TO Democratic TRADES
against protection. and there are in Ohio .
good many protection Democrats, like ex-
Congressman George L. Converse, who be-
lieves with the late Samuel Randall that
American labor and capital should be pro-
tected from unlimited competition with
the cheaper labor and capital of the old
world. These protectionist Democrats
were strong enough to defeat Morrison
free trade bill in Democratic congress in
1856, and Converse is not likely TO be very
enthusiastic worker against Mckinley for
governor on the issue Of hostility to the
protection of American industries.
The outlook for McKinley's election Is
excellent, and he is likely to beat Camp
bell worse than Campbell beat Foraker in
1889. OF course the battle will be fought
bitterly on both sides, as it is the first con-
test since that Of November, 1890. broad
enough in its field and its issues to test the
mood of the people on the burning ques-
tons of the currency and the tariff. Ii
the signs do not fail US, neither free trade
nor free silver has any chance of success
in Ohio this year, and therefore Mr.. Nc
Kinley will be the next governor of that
great state.

California exhibit. This talk came to the
notice of the board of managers and has
received its quietus through the throwing
out of the California candidates.
The effort to divert great department
of the fair from its proper character and to
make it q state side-show is entirely
characteristic of California, for that
state is not more distinguished by
Its traditional habit of Dragging"
than by its presumptuous selfshness. Be-
meath its loud affectation Of hospitality
and good-fellowship there is always g well
developed cloven foot of gross self-interest
which no liberal sense of justice is ever al
lowed to overcome. The people of Califor-
mia, or those who speak for them, are
always for California first, for California
last and for California all the time, no
matter what injustice or hardship their
selfshness may impose upon others.
The states of Washington and Oregon,
not to mention poor Nevada, have long
been the victims of this overpowering self
ishness. They are fairly entitled to bear
grudge against California which has
always assumed to be the whole Pacific
coast, to take unto herself the credit and
reputation of Washington timber and
Washington hops, Oregon fruit and Oregon
grain and Nevada gold and Nevada silver.
If these states now take her defeat lightly
and smile at her rebuke it is because she
has failed by her policy of assumption and
injustice to command their good wishes.

CALIFORNIA; REBUKK.

California has been beaten, as she de-
served to be, in her effort TO secure control
of the pomoloeical department of the
Worlds fair. We say she deserved TO be
beaten because her desire TO secure the
commissionership was prompted by pur-
pose 10 run the department in the interest
OF California. regardless of its relation to
the other departments Of the fair and of
the rights of other states. 1t was this
fact more than any other that brought
about the defeat. II had been freely ex-
posed by the California representatives
in the management, in their talks al home
and in the California newspapers; and had
gone SO far in fact that there was a propo-
sition TO make no representation of the
state in any other department. bat to use

Oficials.

On the Purchase OF Supplies From City
Oficials.
SEATTLE, July Is, 1891
To THE EDITOR: II the Millers, especially the
father were more sensitive TO the criticisms the
writer has really expressed and less to those he
has not made, the city would be largely the
gamer In his reference to the scharity bills"
I'm the house of delegates, last Monday night,
the writer termed the whole OF them robbery"
OF the city government. There IL no law author
izing any such expenditures. The care of the
poor belongs to the county, and appeals for pub
lie aid should 60 to the county commissioners
and not to the mayor and the city council.
It 10 probable that the writer has
voted to refer some of these bills to
the mayor, and IL he did so he erred The
mayor, in turn, erred in authorizing any bills to
be incurred like those read last Monday night
One who is reduced to the necessity of asking
public charity should not be given sugar-cured
ham, canned corn and tomatoes, fresh berries,
maple sugar, and all the luxuries the wealthy
are entitled to. It was the dealer, and the IA
turs OF the articles billed, that were condemned
mot the honesty of the measure nor the price.
The writer has no doubt Alderman Miller can
make out an honest bill the same a. other gro
GERS.
However, the writer does condemn the prac-
tice, that has reached the magnitude of an
abuse, Of purchasing supplies from the members
stores and places of business. There has been
too much of buying fireboats, machinery, hard
ware, feed, groceries, drugs ETC., from officers of
the city. The practice has caused grave sus-
picion to fall upon several Of these officers in
the past two years and will do so as long a. il
continues. An examination of the bills passed
upon each month will disclose the fact that
many OF the councilmen are constantly violat-
ing the provisions Of the charter that
forbid them being interested, directly
or indirectly, in any contracts with
the city; and other officers also violate the spirit
of the law. 1t goes without saying that If one
officer of the municipality purchases supplies
for the city from fellow officer, especially q
member of the council, he is not likely to scru-
tinize the price, quantity or quality of
the same as closely AZ he would
were they obtained from dealers who
have not so strong "pull." If any mem
Der or members of the city council must have
$3.50, or any other sum, as the price of vote for
or against any measure, let the interested party
furnish the corruption fund and not compel the
city also TO pay tribute to the corruptionists.
This is not made as q charge, so no individual
member is likely to think himself singled out
for attack. c. B. BAGLEY.

The few strikes begun this year have re-
suited for the most part in complete fall
ure. The Iowa miners and the Pittsburg
carpenters have both had to surrender and
return to work under the conditions i'm
posed by their employers. An unsuccess-
full strike always leaves the beaten side
worse off than before. A strike that will
command popular sympathy is that in
Illinois where most of the coal operators
refuse to comply with the law of the last
legislature that the miners shall be paid
weekly, and in cash instead of in truck,
store orders and by gross weight. Most of
the operators insist upon large reduction
in wages as an alternative. and strikes are
reported in all directions.

Than darkness in the world mine eyes are quick
To catch the first dim radiance of the dawn,
And slow to note the cloud that threatens Storm
The fragrance aud the beauty of the rose
Delight me SO, slight though give its thorn;
And the sweet music of the lark's clear song
Stays longer with me than the night hawks cry.
Even in this great throe of pain called Life

Well worth the price OF anguish. detect

Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes,
And men grow better as the world grows old.
