SEATTLE. rUEsDAY, APRIL s.
sEArrLE.s CREDIT.

The placing of Seattle's five per cent.
bonds to the amount of 81, 265, 900 at 9S 40
per cent. speaks volumes for the credit Of
the city, and betokens its high standing
in the financial centers of the country.
No other city In this state has been able
to borrow money on 30 reasonable terms,
and the placing of five per cent. bond SO
favorably was scarcely to be expected.
The eagerness to secure our bonds indi-
Gates that financial men have faith in the
future growth and prosperity of our city.
1t indicates. further, that they regard the
money previously borrowed as having
been carefully and judiciously expended,
instead of having been squandered,
as was charged during the height
of the recent political campaign. Seattle's
credit is not shaken, as our Democratic
fellow citizens would have us believe. On
the contrary, it is very high, and the bonds
of the city are marketed easily and favor
ably.
1t is to be hoped that the government of
the city in the future will be such that its
credit two years hence will be as high as
1t is TODAY

Governor HIPS Superiority to the Law.
Matthew Hale in the April Forum


Upon the night of the last day OF the year 1891,
q dinner was given in honor of Governor Hill at
the Kenmore hotel, at Albany. This was de-
scribed In the Democratic papers as a farewell
feast and Publication over the victories OF the
recent campaign" The secretary OF state, Frank
Rice, sat at the head of the table. On his right
was Governor Hill, and near him on either
side were various members of the state board.
These officials testified to each others honesty
and efficiency. On the contrary, the governor
and the members of the state board all congrst-
ulated each other on what to Others seemed the
''deep damnation of the taking off OF the law
fully elected senator from the Fifteenth. With
undisturbed complacency, if not with pious
fervor, the governor thanked heaven that "the
Republican party had not been able to steal the
Legislature" There was no question then,
and there is no question now
that the man who is more responsible
than all the others for making the Republican
Senate Democratic was David B. Hill. If the
mode by which that feat was accomplished de-
serves honor and glory, to him the honor and
glory belong If it was disgraceful, dlshonor-
able and criminal, his is the disgrace, the dis
honor and the crime; for the perpetrators of the
acts which have been detailed were but puppets
in his hands, moving as his master-hand d.
rected.
1t was said by the late distinguished justice OF
the supreme court of the United States that In
this country the law is supreme. "No man Is
80 high as to be above the law; no officer of the
government may disregard it with impunity.
To their Unborn and native regard for law as q
governing power we are indebted largely for the
wonderful success and prosperity of our
people and for the security of our rights"
Were these remarks of Mr.. Justice Miller true,
or have we at last found a man SO high as to be
above the lawf And may high officer of the
government, in order to promote his own per-
sonal ambition or the success Of his party, not
only violate the law or his oath of office with
impunity, but make such violation the basis for
demanding the highest honor his country can
confer?

tyrant by violence into breaking his sword
and surrendering mis- sceptre. As well
might you hope to terrorize leopard into
changing his spots. Atyrant understands
what q popular uprising means, but
assassination is as absurd and insan an
effort to ahate political outrages as it
would be to try to destroy the railway sys-
tenn of America by shooting the engineer
in his cab.
Men who expect to upset tyrants and
found free states by the dagger of private
assassination rather than by the sword of
instruction and the voice of agitation are
either insane enthusiasts or destructive
knaves ;-half mad wolf; half sentimentalist

his provocation great.

A D1sGRAoEFUL ENDORSEMENT.

Alexander Parker, Democratic candi-
date for mayor of Tacoma, is voucned for
to the Tacoma Trades Council as a man
who, in October, 1885, was so anxious to
expel the Chinese that in public speech
be suggested that if all other methods
failed they should be kicked out, suiting
his action to the words. The advocacy of
the expulsion of the Chinese by lawless
violence in 1885 is now urged as q reason
why Mr.. Parker should be made mayor of
Tacoma.
The language attributed to Mr.. Parker
is discreditable to any good citizen, with
out reference to his opinions concerning
Chinese cheap labor, because to violate
any mans legal rights by force of might
is nothing better than lynch law, and
from lynching Cinnamon it is but short
step to lynch law for Caucasians or for
any other kind of men whose civil rights
the Trades Council of Tacoma are dis
posed to Illegally override and subvert
A record that ought to disgrace man,
and would disgrace him in true civiliza-
ton, is quoted as reason why he should
be made chief magistrate of a city.

A Yakima Pioneer Dead.

March IS, aged 76 years He was born in Che
mango county, New York, and crossed the plains
to California in 1915. The next year he journeyed
TO Oregon, but returned to California in 1877,
and engaged in mining for a couple OF years;
then again moving to Oregon, he settled in Polk
county, remaining until 1852, when he went to
Wisconsin. Recrossing the plains the following
year he settled on lands in the Umpqua valley,
in Southern Oregon, where he lived for several
years, moving from there to the Willamette val
ley, and thence to Yakima in 1868

Mt a car, stabbed police superintendent,
tried to blow up Russell Sage or took a
pot shot at q president of the United
States. All such persons, filled with this
insane philosophy of righting political or
social wrongs by assassination are
the proper fruit of the gallows in Europe
or America.
The knife was thrust in vain into the
heart of Marat; the bomb blew up Alex
ander the Second of Russia to no purpose;
the dagger of Joe Blake paralyzed Par
nell's work for a time; the murder of Lord
Leitrim only increased the pains of Ire
land, just as the bullet of Booth hardened
the heart of the North against the South
at the moment when Lincoln, had he
lived, would have melted it to tears. The
whole philosophy of political assassina-
ton is bloody hlunder and crime when
undertaken in the name of popular liberty.
ger there is no need and therefore no ex-
cuse for using it, and if it is not behind it
there is certainly no excuse for few NAL
contents TO butcher a government that has
its roots in the hearts of the people.
Political assassination is more absurd
and fatal TO the welfare of society than
even lynch law. for lynch law sometimes,
as in San Francisco in 1856, has repre-

assassination, whether wrought in Russia
or Ireland, in Germany, France, Italy,
Austria, Spain or America, has always
been an act Of insane folly, crime and a
gross blunder executed under a noble
name. All persons imbued with this same
political philosophy of Fighting political
wrongs or social abuses by dynamite or
the dagger ought to be hunted down mer-
ciIessly to death, because, whether sincere
or insincere. they have bee in their bon.

To the quiet greenwood came;
Full of skill was he AM heartless
In pursuit of feathered game.
And betimes he CHANGED to SEQ

Went the fowler In dismay,
And confided his disaster
With that curious bird that day:
"Master, hast thou ever heard
OF SO ill-disposed bird?"
"Heard of him? Aha, most trulyi"
Quoth the master with a smile;
"And thou, too, shall know him duly
Thou art young, but bide awhile,
And old Eros will not fly
From thy presence by and by!
"For when thou art somewhat older
That same Eros thou didst see,
More familiar grown and holder,
Shall become acQuaint with thee;
And when Eros comes thy way,
Mark my word, he comes to stay!"

Coolly plotted to undo me
With his songs OF tender Joy;
And my pedautry o'erthrown,
Eager was to employ
