THE KNIGHTS OF PYrHfAs

or all the benevolent civic societies.
commonly known as secret societies,
that prevail in this republic, there is,
perhaps, not one, certainly none that
are very popular, but that they are
highly beneficial and are the vehicles
OF great, and often unreasonable
good. OF those with which we are
acquainted there is not one, but that
its tenets, doctrines and motives are
so thoroughly commendable, that they
would make exemplary citizens Of all
their member who are true to their
teachings. The rituals and laws Of
all such orders are prepared by the
best minds associated with them, and
are considered and adopted in solemn
and wise councils. The general aim
of all such organizations is TO cult
vate a spirit Of charity, helpfulness,
fraternity and general benevolence,
and to the extent that they succeed
is the approach of the millennium
fastened.
The order of Knights of Pythias is
founded on the beautiful legend of
Damon and Pythias, in which faith
ful friendship is pictured to a degree
that would test the credulity Of men
who are not exceedingly ardent in
their philanthropy and friendships.
This order has been ,tablished within
the last three decades, and yet it is
one Of the strongest and most popular
in the country and embraces within
its membership thousands Of the most
men Of the nation, and
certain it is that the fraternity exist
ing between its membership is of the
strongest and most beautiful and COM
mendable character.
To-day the Grand Lodge Of the order |
for the state OF Washington honors |
Fairhaven by assembling here in an
nual convention. Aside from the Off !
GERS and accredited delegates Of the |
Grand Lodge there will be present
many hundreds, even up into the
of other members Of the
order. Fairhaycn, youthful as the
city is, has already won fame and
high praise for her spontaneous and
iisinterested hospitality. That the
city will give further evidence OF this
ID the occasion now present is a fore
gone conclusion, and that the gallant
Knights who are our guests will be |
happy, comfortable and enjoy real !
good time is the sincere and hearty
wish Of all our people. As public |
of the fair metropolis Of |
bay the HERALD extends
10 the Knights Of Pythias and their
friends a cordial welcome with wishes /
hat their stay may be a joyous and /
hen lOng-remembered one.

NIPPED IN THE BUD

In the booming of wildcat townsites
ou Puget sound much ingenuity is
often displayed, and sometimes great
deal more gall. The break that the
boomers Of Port Gardner have made
would excite admiration FOR its au-
dIcity had il not been so absurd to
those who were informed in the
premises. 1t has long been known to
the HERALD that the parties who had
set for themselves the task Of making
fortunes in Port Gardner town lots
proposed TO cut their land in two and
give half OF it TO certain railroad COM
panies as an inducement TO stand in
on the job, and that these offers had
been promptly spurned. Then they
thought to gull the public anyhow by
cunningly planned and adroitly pub
lished sensations with regard TO the
route Of the Great Northern railroad.
but unfortunately for their canard in
that direction, Chief Engineer Becker
OF the Great Northern was on the
spot and he inc0ntinently hcked the
whole thing over. What he says on
the subject is reprinted in the HER
AID this morning, verbatim as taken
from the Seattle acknowledgements
Telegraph, two diguified and highly
respectable newspapers, which, let us
hope, were simply deluded into print
ing the high-colored and untruthful
reports about the location of the Great
Northern's route over Stevens pass.
in order TO run that great transconti-
mental route to tide water at Port
Gardner, and of which route Mr..
Becker says:
''fhe route Is made an impossible
one by natural reasons that no power
or skill OF man can overcome The
road which represent does not and will !
not attempt to cross hills 900 feet high on |
tivemile grades. we do not contemplate
4 route through a country such as has |
been described, An examination OF any |
Official map viii show that II Is impoSsf- |
Bile 10 get from the Columbia river over /
the Cascade range, within the distance i
shortened as reported. The route de- |
scrtbed tnaccurately from the Grand I
t0Hlee 10 the cascades Is through barren I
waste. No railroad would be foolish /
enough to build through such D section of !
country when route through the rich ]
Waterville and Okanogau country could |
be found, and we are of the opinion that |
IL can he found"
This positively, unequivocally and |
entirely does away with the Stevens
Pass project OF the Port Gardner
boomers, but they are a lively set and
will come again and in many other
shapes. Among their boom ammuni-
ton is an advertisement they will
shortly explode about the Whale-back
Steel Barge building company locating
its plant at Port Gardner, and that
has about as much truth in IL as the
unfortunate Stevens Pass proposition
that has gone sky-high.

cific railroad from Snohomish to Port

work wonders, but with which they

HOW STRANGE

Some of our Democratic brethren
are making charges that the Repub-
lican party'of Lincoln's days, is not the
Republican party Of today, and say,
"alas. the grand old party has out
lived its usefulness. OF all the parties
that ever existed and that has had its
day and generation, the party of
Democracy takes the lead, and in that
direction has nearly led out Of sight.
OF all the parties that should remain
silent forever the Democratic party is
first and foremost. There is nothing
that can IL boast of in the past that
has taught it such a severe lesson, nor
in the present that it is not equal to,
nor in the future, for the people have
no confidence in it. Along the high
way Of parties it has erected no monu-
ments except such as il wishes would
crumble.
Those Of the Republican party will
endure for all time in the hearts Of a
great and free people. Democracy
goes down TO posterity with a reputa-
tation Of discord, dissention and re-
bellion. Its only life today lies in
few bright newspapers, and they also
lie at times.

The American Banker Of late date
date contains this very cheerful para
graph in a discussion of the financial
situation: The alarmist has no proper
place in civilized society. The treas
ury department is not bankrupt, and
the outgo of gold does not mean i'm
pending ruin. A sober and conserva-
tive review of the business situation
presents much that is encouraging.
besides the great fact that the pros
pect for the crops was never better at
this season than it is now. 1t would
be marvellous indeed, if, after such
losses Of corn, oats and wheat as were
sustained last year, there had not
been some shrinkage and hesitation in
business, but the curtailment has
been so moderate and the industrial
inactivity so slight that there is the
highest and best reason for confidence
in the future, whenever the soil again
yields its accustomed increase.
