The answer of ex-Representative Brents
to Senator Aliens offer of support for the
consul-generalship to Japan, narrated in
our Olympia correspondence, is, under the
circumstances, very remarkable Mr.. Al
len and Mr.. Brents have been political en-
emies, and the telegram of Mr.. Allen ap-
pears TO have been a laudable and manly
effort at Cancellation. A year ago Mr..
Brents made himself very ridiculous by
announcing himself as a candidate for
United States Senator against Mr.. Allen.
and waged very vigorous campaign at
Olympia. He secured just one vote, if we
remember correctly. Stripped of its lev
ity, the reply Of Mr.. Brenss is both I'M
gracious and insulting.

THE CHARTER REVISION.

A movement has been set on foot by AL
derman Korn. in what he assumes to be
compliance with a popular wish, for re-
vision of the charter. Agreeable to his
motion. the city council has invited the CO.
operation of other organized bodies IN the
city TO consider the wisdom of making
some changes. The committee, which
will be known as the charter advisory COM
mittee, will consist of Aldermen Korn and
Snyder. Delegates shipley and Hanford;
Thomas +. Prosch and J. T. Ronald on be-
half of the Chamber of Commerce; K. c.
Neufelder and r. II. Goldie for the Board
of Trade, and one representative each OF
the Builders Council and Western Central
Labor Union. to be selected by the other
members of the committee at their first
session, which viii take place today or to-
morrow.
The functions of the committee are
highly important, and the result of their
labors cannot fail to be Immediately inter-
esting and of ultimate benefit 1t is not
altogether certain, however, that this is
the most opportune time for such a move
ment, because the charter cannot be held
to have yet been fairly tried. The muni-
cipal revolution precipitated by the extra
ordinary changes in the conditions of Sc
attic made some radical alterations in the
machinery necessary, and it required far
more than average capacity to graphic
with the occasion. Not only had new con-
ditions to be met. They had to be met
in such way as to perpetuate existing
municipal engagements and obligations
which could not be modified, but TO which
the new order Of things had to be adapted
1t would be ridiculous to say that the
law can be adjusted 10 meet the necessi-
ties. the conflicting interests and even the
shrewdness of human nature with abso-
lutte freedom from imperfection. 1t pos
sesses the elements of exceptional excel
lence, and its faults. if such they prove to
be, are the result of predetermined effort
TO surround the city's interests with the
most cautious provisions against hasty
legislation, corrupt or negligent officials
and extravagant expenditures.
Several improvements readily suggest
themselves, Others may be hoped for from
the experience of the past few months;
but it is for the best interest of the city
that none should be adopted hastily or inn
maturely. and that, above all things, no
merely experimental innovation should in
volye the city in another expensive cleo
ton at this time. The charter provides for
general election in March, 1s92, or only
ten months from the time within which
the advisory committees labors, at the
earliest, could result in an amendatory
election; and that is not too remote date
at which TO submit to the people any prop
ositions which may be formulated by the

Senator Squire does not pose as the can

the candidate of King than the candidate
of Jefferson, of Whstcom. or of Spokane.
He is candidate from the state at large.
and Is a big enough and broad enough
man TO find no limitations or restrictions

ports Senator Squire's candidacy, not in
deed without a natural pride that he is one
of her sons, but upon the broad basis that
he is the best possible choice for the place.

king county politics" Just how "King
county politics" may differ from any other
orderly and habifually successful politics
We do not know; but King county politics
has this difference from at least one other
sort, namely, that it never goes about crying
over grievances, never plays the baby
act and always accepts the outcome, be it
fortunate or otherwise, with good spirit
and the best possible grace. King county
politics never has any claims" never
kicks back. it has the respect of the state
at large. it respects itself and, it may be
added, il has the habit of ''gitting thar. -

Red Seals arc Valuable.

In 1873 DR.. Mycr Baruch loaned to
William Nicbuhr 81, $50. DR.. Baruch
received at that time three bonds from
Mr.. Nicbuhr and the latter soon thereaf-
ter departed from the city, neglecting to
take the bonds. Recently the doctor
received word that Nicbuhr had re-
turned to the city, The .octor found
among his old papers the bonds. His
attorneys. solomon & Benjamin Open
heimer, assured DR.. Baruch although
ordinarily claims are barred by the
statute within six years after they ac-
cruc, still he had q good claim because
there was affixed to each bond little
red seal. When these seals are affixed
to any instrument OF debt the claim is
not considered barred under the laws
of this state until twenty years have
elapsed after the accruins of the debt.
An action was thc-cupon brought in
the supreme court, and yesterday judg-
ment was entered against Niebuhr for

Six Sons.

Augusta, the we'll Beloved" is the
title earned by the benevolent and be-
loved German empress, who was borne
to the HOhenZollern succession the sixth
baby prince, at whose recent christening
royalty presided with royal gifts ant
humble peasant women sent knitted
coats for the tiny princeling, or baskets
of eggs and home brewed wine for the
feast, with reverent notes to the empress
mother The wife of poor carpenter
gave birth to her sixth boy at the hour
that the little prince was born and at
his christening the emperor presided,
giving valuable presents to the mother.
1t is an old custom among the Hohen-
zollerns, says the New York Sun, to
reward mother having six boys in sue
cession with medal of gold for her
service to the fatherland. What shall
be given to the mother who has given
six sons to the kaiser? These sons are
being brought up and educated in the
most simple and strict manner. Plain
clothing, plain food and constant study
ing with their English governess is the
emperor's method of discipline, and
each night at dinner the sturdy little
boys are brought into the dining room
to shake hands with and welcome with
pretty courtesy their fathers guests.

Australla.s Pest.

There have been no practical sug-
gestions on the subject of the rabbit
pest in Australia since Pasteur's nep-
hew visited the country for the pur-
pose OF destroying the pests by inocu-
latiOn. Afterwards, some well-meaning
Englishmen who had never been in
Australia conceived the idea of
organizing a company which would
utilize many thousands of the rabbits
for food, canning the meat for export.
Unfortunately for the success of such
an enterprise. it was easily shown that
beef could be killed, canned and ship
ped to the Continent for about the
same price. The rabbit-canning idea
was not even seriously considered by
the Australians themselves. There
are no rabbits in Queensland. A fence
OF woven wire has been built from the
eastern coast for about 500 miles
westward, separating Queensland from
the country to the south. There are
regular fence-riders employed to watch
this fence, and when rabbits break
through and are seen within the
boundaries the miscellaneous intruders
are hunted down and destroyed.

abundant, the warm suns melting the
SHOWS in the mountains, and III the
summer time pouring down torrents
through channels which during tho
greater part Of the year are simply

Questions of Ways and Means Never
Asked in Good Society.
1t is rule of good society that as

hundreds of thousands, and the man
who had been blithe youth but twenty
years before became the possessor OF

Once this narrative is begun no matter
that you beat your breast with reluct-
ance to hear out the tedious tale. while
loud bassoons perchance are calling
you to wedding feasts. Pray hear the

good reader! The recital of this story
is his main consolation for the bore
dom of complicated possession in which
his life ia inextricably involved-his
recoupment for the irksome vigilance
with which he must defend his hoard
against the incessant attacks of cheats
and beggars, subscription papers and
poor relations. But the man who has
won his way to that Elusive sphere we
call society sends to swift oblivion all
his processes. In society no man asks
another: How did you get here?" OF

better people than he did ten years
ago. Theoretically society is station

climbing the newcomer affects to have
