The Police and the Public.

Mr.. EDITOR: The title of my
letter seems such stale old chest
nut that | feel almost ashamed to
ask for a few lines of space. But
the following is a fact and comment
is unnecessary. On Saturday even
ing last three policemen were con-
veying a man who was drunk to
the Police Station in q most in
human manner.
Two bystanders, in a most polite
manner, asked that the unfortunate
should be allowed to walk. For
the kindness of the first interferent
he was rewarded with a most dia-
bolical assault by one of the police
in charge of the unfortunate. His
friend, who kindly picked up his
hat after one of the police knocked
it off, was also accommodated at
the Station, on charge of inter-
fering with the police in the exc
cution of their duty. They were
fined 50 and costs ($1.35).
But, Mr.. Editor, that would be
little to complain of. Mark this,
at II (midnight), or between the
hours of II and II is, two police
men came to the cell of these per-
sons who so humanely interested
themselves. The one entered, and
most brutally assaulted their
prisoners-manacled-and imme-
diately skipped out, the second
police officer smartly and very
wisely closing the door.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as it is very
notorious fact that the persons in
charge of the prisoners are in the
habit of beating the prisoners in
their charge, l hasten to report thi;
matter, and so confident am | il
the truth of my assertion and the
general treatment of prisoners thai
| subscribe my name in full, with
the hope that parties interested viii
come to me for further particulars

Mr.. EDITOR: The arguments adj
duced in favor of Mr.. Horner's
Banking Act go further than any
which were made in favor Of the
United States Treasury notes,
which were made legal tender by
Act of Congress in 1862, except for
payment of duties on imports and
of all claims against the United
States, which were still payable in
coin.
The Supreme Court of the United
States held, in 1870, three Judges
dissenting, that the Act was I'M
constitutional. This decision was
overruled in 1871 by one majority,
four Judges dissenting.
The United States Judges based
their opinions in favor of the Act
largely on its necessity as a war
measure, and especially on the
power given to Congress by the
Constitution, "te borrow money on
the credit of the United States .
the Court saying, "this power is
entirely distinct from that of coin
ing money, and regulating the
value thereof"
The life of the nation itself was
in peril, and the necessity of the
case, in the opinion of Congress re
quired the issue of United States
Treasury notes to obtain the means
of fighting for national existence
There is no national peril now i'm
pending in Hawaii, except that TO

Kettle Falls Pioneer: IL is now reported
that the farmers alliance in Stevens coun-

Sound republicanism, Z" in Thurston
county and all over this state means the
nomination of honest, capable men. Put
up men who have not these qualifications
and see how quick the party will be de-
feated.
Port Townsend Leader: Spokane never
does things by halves. The people over
there would Like to have Judge Turner in.
the United States senate. They would also
be pleased to see G. S. Hyde sit in the lower
house OF congress. 1t would be accepted as
a matter Of course, were Patrick Henry

to which Hon. A. M. Cannon also aspires
The Seattle P.-I. holds John Ell. McGraw
up to the people Of the state as an honest,

Maybe the P.-I. is right, but until the YER
dict OF the voters of Seattle is set aside we
cannot fall into the procession of McGraw's
admirers. The opinion of the P.-I is enti-
tied to great weight, but in the minds Of
most of the people the correctness of that

OF demonstration.

Republican Progress.

Gen. Jno. S. Clarkson: The republican
party can go still nearer to the people.
There are plenty Of things would like to
see it enter upon. First, I would like to
see it declare for one term in the presi-
dency, a term Of six years. This amend
ment could be adopted to take effect in 1900,
or 1904, SO that it could not be defeated as
every movement Of this kind has been
heretofore, from being considered a reaee-
tion on an existing president. 1 would
also like to see United States senators
elected directly by the people. This would
cure much OF the enerYatlon which has
long been visible in the senate. Beyond
this / would take the postoffices out of ma
tional politics. / cannot share in the opin
ion of republican and democratic reformers
who would select at Washington, BY
some device of a commission nearly all
the postmasters for the seventy thousand
postal communities of this nation. For ]
would not take away, and i'll my judgment
the American people will never allow to be
taken away, from each community the
right to a voice in the selection Of its owr
postmaster. There is no reason why every
postmaster should not be elected by the
people whom he is to serve. The postof
fees have been largely the element of dis
cord in national politics. They lead very
often to party division and party weak
ness. They have killed off more good con
gressnen and more good senators than al
other causes combined. There are no i'll,
in the government which cannot be curet
by carrying them directly to the decision
and the wisdom of the plain people.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
WHY THE WEEKS PLANS WERE
SELECTED.

whether the building Will be
Brick or stone Has Not Vet Been
Determined THE Contract TO be
Let I'm About TvO Weeks.
AS noted in THE TRIBUNE last evening
the board of school directors yesterday
adopted plans for high school building.
From the first the selection narrowed down
to the plans of j. W. White, Whitman &
Page and the IA" and &c" plans Of B. r.
M. Weeks, Mr.. Weeks submitting three
separate designs. Mr.. Woodruff favored
either one Of the first two, Mr. Rathbun,
Weeks "a" plan and Mr. Barbee, Weeks
&c" plan. The latter is the larger build
ing, and doubts existing whether it could
be built for $4,000, fixed as a limit on the
competitors, although the floor arrange
ment was pronounced by the teachers as
superior to either of the others. 1t is
thought that the hall room is unnecessa-
rily large. Ifthis is made smallerand there
by allow brick partitions to be put in the
basement and first story, Mr.. Weeks guar
anteed that the building could be put up
for the limit fixed and the plan was adopted.
The floor arrangement is pronounced
very fine for high school building. There
are two entrances on Union street, one on
each side Of the tower, between which are
the offices OF the superintendent,a and school
board. There is also an entrance on Wash
lngtou street and one on Franklin street.
On the first floor are two recitation rooms
with the necessary cloak rooms, etc. On
the second'foor is a library, chemical
labratory, two recitation rooms, water clos
cts and an assembly room, which NAV be
cut up into recitation rooms, when the at
tic story is finished, which will not be done
at present. In the basement will be the
heating apparatus, laboratories, water closets
and manual training room
The system of heating has not been de-
termined upon. An agent of the Smead
system has been in the city most of the
week and it is possible that one of the
board will visit Snohomish where the sys-
tenn is in operation.
The detail specifications will be submitted
to the board by the architect as soon as the
heating system is determined, when bids
wall be asked for the construction Of the
building.
The material to be used, whether brick
or stone, is yet to be determined and it is
possible two sets of specifications will be
requested and bids invited for both. The
additional cost of stone building over a
brick is estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
The Tenino people, however, are anxious
to have their rock put in building in this
city and if they can be given an opportu-
tunity to put in figures, it is probable
stone building can be erected at compara-
lively low cost.
La will probably be two weeks before the
contract will be let. April 5th, is the day
set for opening bids for the bonds voted at
the special election.

Coal Oil Savage Again in Serious
Trouble.

COal Uil savage Again III Serious
Trouble.
q. M, Savage, the usually alert and wide
awake legal head of the bob-taiI whatzis-it,
which has been dlgnifed by the name of
street railway, happened to drop asleep at
the wrong time pending legal question of
considerable Importance which was decided
yesterday in the supreme court.
O. 9. Lacey, represen ting claim against
the North Olympia Land Company, made
bold move by tieing up the running gear
of the aforesaid bob-tail, whereupon Mr..
Savage, on behalf of the same, made an
swer in the superior court that he
was sick, describing several alarm
ing symptoms to enlist the sym
pathy of the court. Judge Campbell
took the matter under brief advisement
and prescribed for Mr.. Savage by admins
tering a counter-irritant, in the shape of a
judgment by default for Mr. Lacey. Mr.
Savage took a relapse, and placed his NAL
ady before the supreme court, where the
court was ready to feel his pulse, and
diagnose his case; he was not legally pres
ent-had, in fact, forgotten his brief.
His wiley opponent made motion for dis
missal, and notwithstanding his frantic
appeal to the court that he was ignorant Of
the law, granted the motion, and the in
valid representiYe of the bobtail went out
of court, softly repeating to himself, "Can
such things be, and overcome us like a
summer cloud, without our special won
der?"

DEFINING CONFESSES
SAYS HE MURDERED HIS WIFE
AND FOUR CHILDREN.

His Appearances is said to Closely
Resemble .Ehose OF ssJack The
Ripper''- -'Ehe WAN supposed to
be Afflicted with disease.
MELBOURNE, March 26.-The Argus an
nounces that Deeming has confessed to the
numbering Of his wife and four children at
Denham Villa, Rainhill, near Liverpool,
and that he has also confessed ia the MUIR
der and mutilation of the last two women
whose bodies were found in the purlieus of
Whitechapel Deeming's appearances
closely tally with the description given the
Whitechapel fiend, Jack the Ripper, and
although he does not admit killing the
other Whitechapel victims, it is believed
that when he finds all hope of escape from
the clutches of the law cut off he will CON
fess, not only these murders, but others of
which the police know nothing. 1t trans
pires that the unfortunate woman whose
body was found, together with four chill
dren, under the floor of a residence was not
Deem ,ng's first wife. Some years ago a
sensation was. created in Australia by tile
mysterious disappearance Of a wife and
two children Of man who went by the
name of Williams, but who turns out to be
Deeming. The family then resided in sgd
ney. There was a grave esuspiciomoffoul play
at the time, but the bodies were not found,
and essential proof of the murder being
lacking, the matter was allowed to drop
Deeming subsequently went to England
and married woman whose murder he
now eonfesses. The Argus says Deeming
makes nomention Of his other Whitechapel
victims, but adds there is scarcely a doubt
that the man is afflicted with disease, SIM
liar in some respects to nymphomania
THE CONFESSION CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
LONDON, March 26.-The papers publish
Deeming's confession to the Rainhill and
Whltechapel murders today. The story
caused most intense excitement. There is
much difficulty in fixing the two White
chapel murders to which Deeming is said
to have confessed, although ten murders
are attributed to Jack the Ripper.

ON A TIDAL WAVE.
"A STEAMER SUDDENLY LIFTED Up
AND DASHED AGAINST ROCKS.

A Curious Submarine Disaster TO "a
Vessel Lying in a Mexican Road
stead and Taxing Aboard a
Cargo Of Coffee.
SAN Francisco, CAL, March 26.-Dis
patches received here tell of the loss of the
British steamer West Indian, which left
here about two months ago for Central
America to load coffee. The vessel was
wrecked near Acajutla, San Salvador and
was a total loss, The crew are reported as
having been saved. The cause of the dis
aster is said 10 have been submarine
earthquake which produced tidal wave
that drove the ill-fated steamer on the
rocky shore Of Acaiutla.
The West Indian had loaded nearly a
full cargo of coffee at La Libertad, and was
On her way up the coast to complete the
cargo when she was. wrecked. 1t is re-
ported that part Of the cargo was saved.
It was valued at about $220,0OO, and fully
insured in local companies. The steamer
was valued at $4,000, and, it is believed,
was fully insured in Liverpool, where the
principal interest was held.
Ihe West Indian has an interesting his
tory on this coast, which she reached di-
rect from Liverpool Captain s. R. Scott,
who owns a part interest in the vessel, has
been i'll command since she left Eng
land, in January, 1891. His wife accom-
panied him, and was on the steamer when
She was wrecked. The spot where the
West Indian was wrecked is described as a
stretch of rockbound coast with high cliffs
It is believed that the steamer was sudden
ly lifted by the tidal wave while lying in
the roadstead taking coffee from lighters
alongside, and dashed on the rocks. A
sixty mile railroad runs into the interior
from Aeajutla and acts as a feeder for the
steamers stopping there. All freight is
handled by lighters while the steamers are
in the roadstead.
The West Indian was formerly one of
the steamers of the West India and Pacific
Steamship company and piled between
Liverpool and the West Indies. She was
a tWin-screw three-deeked steamer of LISA
tons net. Her registered horsepower
was 1888, with two compound engines and
high pressure cylinders above the low pres
sure with single piston for each pair Of cy-
finders. The steamers dimensions were as
follows: Length, 278.2 feet; beam, 34.2,
and depth Of hold 29.4. Captain Scott has
the reputation Of being an excellent sea-
man and able navigator,
