THE LEDGER KICKS

The Tacoma Ledger was one of the
newspapers that printed the story
about the Great Northern railroad
company having located its line
through Stevens pass, and seeing that
it was imposed on in the matter, it
comes out editorially to vigorously
roast the parties to the hoax. 1t
inquiries whether or not the author of
the canard got some town lots at Port
Gardner for his work, quotes what
Chief Engineer Becker says and,
among other things, makes the fol-
lowing statement:
1t may or may not be worth while to
call the attention OF the proprietors OF
the Oregonian to the fact that there Is
some person In, or about, or connected
with their Spokane Falls annex, known
as the Review, who Is using the Associ
ated Press to boom q TOWNSHIP scheme
down the Sound. The Associat Press
does not suffer itself to be used for any
thing but its legitimate objects, when
ever its misuse can be avoided. In the
Ledger OF the 10th inst. there appeared an
Associated Press dispatch from Spokane,
dated the day before, which purported to
specifically describe the projected route
OF the Great Northern railroad through
the state OF Washington TO the Sound,

CREDIT IN RETAIL TRADE

One Of the curses Of our country to-
day is the credit system, and some
day, when it is too late, we will find IL
out to our sorrow. If there were no
such thing as credit our people would
all be better Off, families would have
more and be much better contented.
We should have cash basis for every
thing. If this was put into effect we
would have no such thing as paupers,
and there would be no stringency In
the money mafket. We know OF
people who livb year ahead because
they can buy on credit.
Merchants do business, and many Of
them for the glory of It, and when
the end OF the year comes, they find
their profits have gone into accounts
which are useless and cannot be col
lected. People who pay for goods
must pay for those who blk the bust
ness house.
Credit has a tendency to make one
over-reach, and we always imagine 1T
will be,easier to pay next week, month
or year. than it is today. This Is
often deceiving, and we find when the

Rudyard Kipling set upthe type, printed

it paid all his expenses.
Count Mirardi, the artist, is short, stout,
genial, and the essence of politeness. He
wears ferocious black mustache, which
does not, however detract from the kindli-

Mr. A r. Spofford, librarian of congress
is reported as saying that America has not
produced during the past twenty years "a
single author of great genius like Nathan

Edmund Clarence Stedman thinks that
the poets today, with few exceptions, dc
not take their office with sufficient serious

A MISERABLE MIXTURE

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer com
menting on the birth" of the so-called
Peoples party compares the incident
with the "Quiet earnest manner in
which few devoted and broad-minded
citizens Of national reputation, and a
well-defined, single purpose, launched
the Republican party just thirty-seven
years ago." and says most aptly and
forcibly "of all this the sO-called 'Peo-
pies movement is in its every aspect
and characteristic the direct antithe-
sis. Here we have a motley gathering
OF more than fourteen hundred wild
eyed men and women, unknown to
fame and unidentified with any worthy
deed accomplished, each loaded with
his and her distinct and petted ism,
the whole confused and homogeneous.
And in contrast with the quiet, digni-
fed Republican enunciation Of a single
definite and firm purpose, we have
roof-splitting whoop and a wild war
dance over the PRONUNCIATION of a
motley mosaic of fantasies" If the
American people can find any other
than a feeling of contempt, disgust,
nausea and loathing for such a con-
glomeratlon OF crankism as that, then
the republic is really in need Of some
sort of a topsy-turvy, shaking up as
that mongrel element would give 1t,
and from which anything that might
turn up would be better than It's pres
emit condition, but happily that is not
the situation. The sO-called Peoples
party will be made a guy" as it de-
serves, and the sensible, level-headed
people OF the country will look else
where for whatever in the nature of
reform 1t may need. There never has
been anything in the nature Of a party
organized anywhere on earth that isn't
superlatiyely better than this attempt
at a party which is nothing more nor
less than disgruntled Reorganization
and pitiful mixture of diocy, knavery
and crankery, that doesn't deserve the
name of madness.

The PEOPLES Party

Tacoma Ledger: A new party has been
born, and it is named 1.-The Peoples
party" in honor Of long line Of defunct
relatives which have borne the name and
failed to take 1t with them to oblivion
into which they have gone. The war cry
OF the new organization is ''the money
power must 60"
For godfathers the new party has ex-
Congressman Weaver of Iowa, ex- green
hacker and -prohibitionist; the veneer
able Jesse Harper, Of Illinois, and the
equally venerable Gideon Delamater, of
Kansas, distinguished in their time as
champions Of greenbackism and gran
gerism; Robert Schilling, socialist and
labor agitator of Milwaukee; Ignatlus
Donnelly, Of Minnesota, the arch enemy
OF Mr.. Shakespeare; Senator Pfeffer, of
Kansas, who wears no necktie, and Con-
gresham Simpson, who wears no socks
Helen Cougar, of Indiana, was present and
offered her services as godmother, but as
she insisted on recognition for her prohi-
bition ideas, they were declined. Prohi-
bition was about the only reform idea,
except possibly the faith cure, that did
not receive recognition and find place

FOR FIRE CHIEF

This afternoon the members Of the
fire companies who are eligible to
vote, will elect chief for the ensuing
term. The present very efficient
chief, Mr.. Wilmot, has been nominated
by the Wardner company, and while
the HERALD has no disposition or in
tention to detract from any other can
dldate, we cannot refrain from re-
marking that Chief Wilmot well de-
serves reelection. He was largely
instrumental in organizing the depart
ment and has been faithful, Jealous
and active in bringing it up to its
present excellent standard. Moreover.
he has been liberal even to marked
generosity with his means in doing all
the many things in which funds have
been needed to help matters along.
Besides he has brought to the service
a long experience as fireman, cool
head, and admirable judgment in
action.
IN Adtb Nhtit htN Stob tOaoOho
why he should be elected, and we be-
lieve that large majority of the
people OF Fairhaven would like TO see
him succeed himself. Indeed sense
of gratitude and the reward that
merit earns would seem to favor his
reelection. There is not a member Of
the department, however, so far as
the HERALD knows, who has not
commercially performed his duty, and
ii is far from this Journal to even hint
that any other member whom the
men may desire for chief, would not
capably perform the duties Of the
Office under consideration. There are
none, however, whom we believe
would perform those duties with more
zeal and satisfaction than Jack
Wilmot has done, or would do II he
we're reelected.

frage to favorable consideration and
the other demanding payment of PEN
sions on a gold basis were read, the
former met with rather chilly recep-
ton, but the latter was roundly
cheered. At this juncture delegate
objected that the platform was one
sided for the Farmers Alliance, but
he met with little encouragement.
Schilling announced that the pension
plank was left to the soldier members
of the committee with an inquiry
whether it was satisfactory, and on his
acquiesence it was adopted unani-
mously.
"Several delegates urged adoption Of
the report, but the enthusiasm had to
have vent, and one after another OF
the orators relieved themselves. When
order was finally restored the platform
proper, exclusive of the resolutions,
was adopted by rising vote. AT this
stage the convention was little better
than bowling mob, and in the midst
of the confusion G.. NJ. Miller, of Cali
fornia, came to the front with the
prohibition plank, which had been
ignored in the platform and
resolutions. All efforts to choke
him off with sounds OF
order were Intellectual. The resolu-
ton offered by him was brief but to
the point. 1t said: Resolved, That
we favor the abolition of the liquor
traffic Fifty orators clamored for
recognition, but the first TO succeed
was Schilling, Of Wisconsin. He de-
clared himself a strong temperance
man, but he opposed discussion of the
question of prohibition at this time

JbCA way
Yes, Jack could do most anything and do it
mighty well.
What he knew would fill ten volumes; what
he didn't-who could tell7
His temper was angelic and his tongue was
always kind,
As fresh and jolly joker his match was hard
to find;
He buzzed and hustled round and round, and
yet twas very funnyf
He never did and never would go in for max
in money.
Now when 1t came to farming, he knew ex-
actly why
The crops were light, the prices low, the sea-
sons wet or dry;
He often told the village merchant how to run
q store,
And showed the parson just the way to make
the devil sore;
Twas fEe to hear the shrewd advice he was
forever givin',
And veto save his life-the man could never
make Twin.
The year diphthery, scarlet fever and the
measles came,
He never tired Of showin' where the doctora
were to blame:
And when he talked on Joachim, hotel keepin'
and the law,
You know'd twas all COMPRISED within ths
compass OF his jaw;
OF all the men you ever seed he seemed this
most disarvin',
Though-while he seldom paid o deb<-his
family was starvin'.
He'd lend the clothes from of his back, then
turn around and borry,
But before voc got your own returned you'd be
both mad and sorry.
Twas thus he buzzed his way through life. a
puzzle and a care,
Without foe, he made his friends and relatives
despair;
And then outlived them all and died In peace
ct seventy-seven,
He made no money here below. he'll do with
out in heaven.
