WHY A SPECIAL ELECTION Is UN-
NECESSARY.

Nobody who reads the charter carefully
can for moment doubt who is mayor of
Seattle. The intention of the charter is SO
clearly manifest throughout that it needs
no profound acquaintance with constitu-
tional law TO see that whatever Is To fol-
low the president of the board of alder
men is the acting mayor. 1t is not even
declared necessary that he refrain from
continuing 10 sit and act as alderman and
as presiding officer. Only sense of pro-
priety suggests that il is better he should.
while filing the executive Office, abstain
from participating in the discussion of and
voting upon measures which, as acting
mayor, he may be called upon to approve
or veto as the executive.
1t is clearly the intention of the char
ter that in the mayoralty there should be
no interregnum. Section IL. of article V.
provides that ''in case of the absence of
the mayor from the city, or if he from any
cdnse be incapacitaied from acting, the
president OF the board of aldermen, or if
he be absent or incapscita,ed. the presi-
dent OF the house of delegates shall act As
mayor. and for the time being enjoy ali
his powers"
The mayor is incapacitated from acting
when he resigns, The president of the
board of aldermen does not necessarily
resign that position; but if he absent him
SELF from the meetings of the board, it is

And his blue eyes questioned ma.
"Don't you know one day you said,
Time YOU took us in the sleigh,
Al day at you fixed my sled

For there is but one today.

TWO kx-MoSARCHs.

Milan. the notorious ex-kiug Of Servia,
has recently attracted attention By re-
nouncing all pretensions 10 the Servian
throne. At the time of his abdication il
was stipulated that III case or the death OF
Alexander, the present boy king, Milan
would return TO the throne. The ex-king,
however, now valves this right Ii Is
stated that he is about TO become the
commander of the cavalry in the army Of

known as Count Hartmann. While Milan
proved himself TO be worthless as ruler
and incapable as a general, Alexander
conducted the war against Servia in
manner which showed him TO be pos
sessed of military ability of a high order,
and, when the long expected European
war comes, he will doubtless be given
high command in the Austrian army.

A YEAR OF THE NEW TARIFF.

The governments statement OF the for
eign commerce for the twelve months
ending with October 81, 1891, and covering
years operations of the Mckinley law,
which went into force October 6, 1890,
shows that, so far from proving San act to
curtail foreign trade" the contrary effect
has followed its enactment, for during the
first twelve months of McKinleyism the
foreign trade of the United States has
reached the largest total yet recorded in
the history of the nation.
The government figures show this COM
parison of merchandise exports during the
first Mckinley year with the figures of
the previous year:
1sglls9l W. $4,000
Mckinley increase. g., $50, $40
The figures of merchandise imports
make this comparison:
1852 1880. SlF,2IU,0lo
Mckinley increase. 1851 ,23o
The total foreign trade of the United
States, therefore, both exports and i'm

CLUBBED TO DEATH.
That's What Will Happen to the Re-
publican Party if Brice's Advice
is Needed.
Iowa Republicans in Session. ---- No
Public Debt Statement Can be Got
At---Other News.

New YoRK, July Chairman Brice,
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee, has written letter of warn
ing and advice to his fellow members of
the National Committee. The letter
embodies advice in regard to the assecis-
ton of democratic clubs, and the neces-
sity of the National Committee co-ope-
rating with them.
The plan of campaign, ofthe republi-
cans" he says, sis colossal system of
clubs to be maintained and supported
by unlimited means drawn from the
pockets of benefciaries of the monopoly
policy "This SYSTEM" he urges "can
only be met by an equally extensive
system of voluntary democratic clubs,
that is, the associations OF people in their
several neighborhoods, for the defense OF
their rights and interests against those
bonded TO assaii them.''
Brice thinks the approaching struggle
is to be one mainly between clubs, and
this is greatly to be desired that uni.
form and perfected system of democratic
societies throughout the country be or.
ganized and put in intimate association
with each other before the beginning
of next year.
