Surratt. Having been assigned to the
duty of prosecuting in these cases, General
Chapman performed it without fear or IA
vor. And this 10 the offense that has been
alleged against him as uniting him for
the position to which he had been nomin-
ated, in connection with non-partisan,
all-embracing industrial exposition.
The opposition, it seems, was led by one
Sinclair, rabid West yirginian of the
bulldozer type. As to the ground of OPP
position he made no disguise and did not
mince matters. "If the Judge Advocate
who procured the conviction of Mrs. Sur.
raft is appointed head Of the horticultural
department" said he. '.the entire South
viii secede from the Worlds Fair" A
like threat from the same quarter was
made, 1t will be remembered, when the
Chicago Board of Trade passed resolution
against the free coinage Of silver.
But the South was cozzened and pla-
Gated in that case by assurances that the
members of the Board of Trade spoke but
for themselves, did not voice public opin-
ion, and the masses of Chicago were duly
sorry and ashamed. In the same way this
clustering threat of the West Virginian
had its effect of defeating faithful officer
for duty strictly performed more than a
quarter of century ago.
1t COMFORTS with history that these con-
cessions may lead to other and more ad-
vanced demands and threats, such as the
ostracism of any man with war record on
the Union side, or distinguished for
devotion to the flag, from the slight
est recognition in that great national
demonstration. 1t is about time that
healthy public opinion should give note
of warning, and for the managers of the
exposition to trace up and call q halt in
this matter Of yielding to old slave-drlver
tactics. Patriotism must be no bar to fair
treatment and respectful recognition.

THE POLL TAX PROTESTANT.
SEATTLE. June %. 1891

SEATTLE, June -, 1851
To THE EDITOR: could not hope to be sue
cessfuI in war of words with the PosT-INTEL-
LIGENcRR so this will be the last time shall
trespass upon your space.
In your editorial headed "The Poll Tax" In
Thursdays issue you say that the city of Seattle
does not compel me TO reside within its limits
or to do business here. This is true, but the
city of Seattle, through its politicians, city
officials and prominent men, known as the
Chamber of Commerce, did induce me to come
5000 miles to reside within its limits and do
business in 1t. They also were particular to
mention everything favorable to the city, but
steered clear of mentioning the drawback and
after the city had induced me to give up my
business in the East, and have spent my money
for fare. etc., TO get here, they calmly tell me
ave don't compel you to come or stay"
Then you say that If I take advantage of the
excellent thoroughfares, electric lights, police
partrol, fire department, sewage system and
water supply the city has provided, that it ex-
poets me to contribute towards their main
tenance. In the first place, do contribute
towards their maintenance by working hard to
try and pay my rent OF $40 a month. This $40
covers not only my landlords taxes, assessment,
water, sewage, and so forth, but will give him
10 per cent. interest on the cost of the property
occupy. In the second place, I've only been
on the street about four times in two months. /
use kerosene for light, / paw an outrageous
premium for fire insurance, and my water is
turned off every night at o'clock.
For those able to pay 1t l don't suppose IL is
exorbitant, but s. to me are 81, and If am
asked to pay this amount for the use of these
public systems, why is it called road poll tax?
Why isn't it called q tax for breathing Gods
air, walking Gods earth and using His water.
And if it Is tax for all these benefits, why is it
that I, who have used them two months, am
taxed s., while the youth who has used them
years, but who hasn't reached his majority,
escapes free. And is it just that one man able
to pay it ten times over, escapes IL because he
happens to have lived over 80 years, while
poor and poyerty-stricken wretch OF 40 years
must pay it7
The complainant does not know of any case
where the law has been ridiculously enforced,
but when repeat that seldom use the streets,
you may know why haven't become cognizant
of such enforcement / heard, though, that
one man stopping at hotel here for one week
had been forced to pay it. do know, however,
that If l am forced to pay it "that the mere fact
of being in the city, without regard to duration
of residence, is seized upon a pretext for i'm
posing the tax upon me. c. r. Coon.

Whatever may be the differences of opin-
ion respecting the matters at issue be
tween the coal miners and coal mine
owners at Franklin and other places in
this county, there can be no difference as
TO the duty of the officers Of the law in the
present emergency. Their duty is clearly
to maintain public peace and to protect
property at any or all hazards. We cannot
believe that there will be any serious diff
Guilty in accomplishing this. Surely there
can be no incorporating spirit of law
lessness at Franklin or elsewhere of such a
character as calls for other than peaceable
measures. The hot-headed and inconsid-
crate acts Of few men must not be
charged to the account of the miners as a
body, nor rs representing the true spirit
of the workingmen of this city and
county. All past experience with them
iustities the hope and belief that the de-
plorable events Of Sunday will make the
miners rs body more determined than
ever TO restrain any among them from
departure from the commendable policy
they declared AZ the outset of the diff

THE WORLDS FAIR AND SECTION.
ALIsM.

A startling statement is current as 10 the
reasons that impelled the rejection of
General Chapman, of California, for super
intendent of the horticultural department
Of the Worlds Fair at Chicago, for which
he possessed unquestionable qualifications
of high order. That rejection, it is as
serted, was directly and solely due TO re-
vival of sectional issues, growing out of
the late war, from the quarter which most
constantly and loudly deprecates any re-
vival Of those issues--by the other side.
II is recalled that General Chapman acted
as judge advocate of the tribunal that
brought TO justice the conspirators who
comprised the assassination OF President
Lincoln. and who attempted the assassin
alton of Secretary Seward. Among the
results of that trial, it will be remembered.
was the conviction and execution of Mrs.

THE DAYS OF THE ROSES.


This is the golden, the blossoming time;
. beautiful worldi . radiant climel
As wide is my heart and clear as the day
AS the air through which trembles the lark's
roundelay.
Ye happy ones sing, while the life is in tune:
This is the beautiful, blossoming June;
These are the days of the roses.
Free is the heart, and free Is the song,
And free is the wooer, the worlds ways along:
And a fragrant kiss is not the less free,
Though coy and bashful the lips may be-
Where n song resounds, with kiss in rhyme,
There is the golden, the olossoming time;
These are the days of the roses.
Aye, deep in the heart are the sources of all
The joys that gladden., the woes that appali;
Then fresh be the heart, aud living the soul
However the storm-clouds over US roll.
We will sing with accord in the time and the
tune;
This is the golden, the poisoning June,
These are the days of the roses
