A Humble Tribute to the Memory Of

My hand on bands that were lifeless clay.
Gone was their power to charm the ear,
With the rapturous music we loved to hear
Peat efully folded d-nevermore
To call forth praises from shore to shore.
Mobiles have listened to her. enthralled
BY the hidden beauties she recalled
From the works of the masters old ant
grand.
BY the artists soul through her skilful hands
Humble listeners have borne away
A song. that will live in their hearts alway
For time itself cannot efface
The sweet expression and tender grace
She gave by her sympathetic touch,
To the masters works she loved 80 much.
Interpreting with power sublime,
Melodious chords and changing time.
The JOYOUS notes. the paintye strain,
The higher thought sweet refrain.
Till inspiration on her part
Walked inspiration in each heart.
Such memories will not pass away.
Although those hands are lifeess clay.

A warm heart requires cool head.
Violence does even justice unjustly.
Custom without reason is ancient er

Labor not needed for good is food for

Anger makes dull men witty, but 1t
keeps them poor.
All that does not touch the heart
leaves the mind free.
The reason men are down on religion
is because it is down on their vices.
When you bury luminosity don t set

Live as long rs you may, the first 20

The humbIest occupation has in it
materials of discipline for the highest

EDITOR AND PRoPRIEroR.

The editor sat in his easy chair,
Stroking his whiskered chin,
And thought that while his brow was
wrinkled with care,
That drinking was surely a sin;
But making ones weakness holy show
By donning a ribbon blue,
And sinking ones manhood SO very low,
Was the far greaters sin ofthe two.
So the editor sat him down to write,
And his pen o'er the paper flew,
With rhetorical jewels and ideas bright,
In contempt Of the ribbon blue.
And the people read and approved the
screed,
From the EDITORS point of view,
And rejoiced that in time of the public
need
A newspaper could be true.
The proprietor saw and a great black frown
Darkened his brow serene,
He surely must take this editor down
For error SO plainly seen.
But the editor argued and shed some light
That caused the owner to see
In most concise language, and terms very
trite-
The force of the mystical "we."

A WONDERFUL BOOK.

Following the idea Of Ignatius Donnelly
in writing Caesars Column" with refer
ence to the industrial question Of the fu-
ture, and Of his DR.. Huguet with reference
to the color question; also the ideas of
Howell's on the latter question in Gan I'M
peratiYe Duty" and those in the last book
of Mary H. Ford on social conditions, enti-
tied (Which Wins" Mr.. B. f. Houston, of
Tacoma, has written wonderful book
squirting toward free trade entitled ''The
Rice Mills of Port Mystery" The scene is
laid ON Puget Sound in the fastnesses of
the Olympic range and on the waters of
the wonderful inland sea. To write an en-
tertaining work on subject that is con
ceded to be political as well as economic
question is quite an undertaking, but Mr..
Houston has admirably succeeded in Civ
ing, to the people of the state of Washing
ton at least, a book of uncommon interest,
and it would not be surprising to hear as
much of it throughout the coun-
try, in the future, as of Bel
lamy's Looking Backward" !" The book
will certainly draw close attention to the
tremendous possibilities of this northwest
corner of the republic. The author locates
the future seat Of commercial empire at
the head Of Puget Sound, and with the
story which he pictures in order to show
the supposed blessings Of free trade, he has
interviewer much truth of history relative
to the early discoveries in this part Of the
Pacific coast. 1t is book that every pro
tectionist, as well as free trader and every
lover of his country, should read. It will
not meet with much favor, no matter what
merit it may possess, with those who be-
lieve in the English name of the majestic
sentinel of the Cascades, Notwithstanding
the fact that the book fayors English COM
mercial ideas. All Tacomans who read it
will be glorifed. It's published by Charles
II. Kerr & Co. of Chicago, and is one of a
series of "The Unity Libraryn

IN discussing the alleged broken prom
ises of Senator Allen to his lifelong friend,
Ex-Governor Moore, the Tacoma Ledger OF
yesterday says:
It may be that there are those who do
not place any great Importance on a prom
ise or pledge Of honor, buG the sooner they
abandon that position the sooner will our
governmental service be pure, the sooner
will our iails be unnecessary, and contro-
yersies Of the kind mentioned cease. We
know Of no wrong that should be remem-
bered longer, that should be resented and
rebuked more vigorously than that referred
to. A friend who deliberately falsifes and
betrays his friend, would you overlook it
Are such offenders to be condoned and
passed by in silence Down with such
politics and such men!
The above was brought out by reference
of the Ledger to communication from
a prominent attorney of this city, which
appeared in newspaper here, signed 'sRe-
publican Private"

A WRITER in the Seattle Telegraph says
the name of President pro tenn. Eugene
Wilson, Of Elensburgh, is mentioned for
governor, but that she may be dropped
from the list on account of his alleged con
nection with the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company" Mr.. Wilson has about as
much connection with the N. P. railroad as
Fred Grant, Of Seattle, or Attorney Gen
eral Jones, He certainly never had as
much connection with it as Governor
Ferry, who was once counsel for the N. p,
and who was elected two years ago by
nearly 5000 majority, with his own county
opposed to his nomination.

JUDGE BURKE, of Seattle, who is in Chi
cago, hopes that the Washington elections
may result in a democratic legislature. In
that event, he says, the leading candidates
for the United States senatorship will be
J. ]. Browne, Of Spokane, and q. H.
Warner, of Colfax. Both of these were
members of the constitutional CON
yention. Another candidate before the
caucus, he says, will be Charles Voorhees,,
son of the senator and an ex-territorial del
egate to congress.

the genuine stnff, and from what I know
of the man, who is a resident of Tacoma, |

introduced him to a friend, who made him
an offer at once for the mine, but he
is going to keep it, California rules the

very valuable. A little is found in Idaho

gentleman of very large capital, and with
an intention and desire to invest some OF
his money in manufacturing enterprises in

few days ago, was shown around town by
the bellboy or some attache of the hotel,
after which he went to Tacoma to start the
