THE SEATTLE CANAL,
1t is Not Wanted, Except by Few
TOWusite boomers.

wv hOOAltESs
The opening of a canal from Puget
Sound to the fresh water lakes back of
Seattle has been relegated to a board con-
sisting of army officers and civilians. If
said board reports fayorably on the project
the matter will come squarely before the
United States congress on its merits, Just
the same as the Hennepin canal, and will
not be smuggled through on the river and
harbor appropriation bill, under the guise
of improving the harbor of Seattle. 1t is
well known that powerful syndicate of
capitalists, interested in toWnsite property
on Lake Washington, at the head of which
is Leigh S. j. Hunt, of Seattle il back Of
the canal scheme, and that there is no call
for the expenditure Of so much of the peo-
ples' money for such q canal 7Jf 1.iary
years to come. Commerce does not require
it, and the United States government does
not need the lake as navy yard, as the
board to select a site for that purpose pro
claimed against 1t. The Kirkland boomers
ought to dig the canal themselves, if they
are in a hurry for it.

the British BOards--The French
Will Probably Take 1t.
LONDON, July 2.-All London is laughing
at Oscar Wilde's threat to become French
man, because the examiner of plays refused
to allow his play, "Salome," to be pre-
sented in London. The Paris Gaulois pub
fishes a gushing interview with Wilde, in
which he said he is too much of the artist to
admire the practical qualities of the Eng
lish. He could not love them; he had long
been enamored of France and the French.
To him there were only two languages,
French and Greek. 1t is the general
opinion that the examiner of plays acted
wisely in deciding not to allow "Salome"
to be put on the boards here. The play is
described as a realistic mixture of scripture
and modern passion, only fit for produc-
ton at the Theatre Libre. One character
is John the Baptist, who repels with hor-
ror the feYerish advances of Partisan "Sa-
Iome," who is always asking him to kiss
her on the mouth. The plot moves on
this style until afrter dance before Herod
when at her mothers instigation Salome
asks for the head of John the Baptist
Then when revenge is sated Salome seizes
the head represented by wax efigy on
charge and kisses it in a frenzy of revived
passion. This added to Herod's incestuous
loves and garnished with passages from the
new testament would prove difficult fare
for Baptist audience. Madame Bern
hardt, who was to play the part of Salome,
always had hankering after biblical sub
jects as containing immense dramatic pos
sibilities. Doubts are expressed both here
and IN Paris as to whether French censor
ship will pass "SalOme."

COMPANY RESOLUTIONS.
The kindly Relations Between
Companies A and K.


One very noticeable feature of the en-
campment, is the friendly relations which
will hereafter exist between Olympia and
Aberdeen. Company AS and Company
KS tents faced each other on the same
street. Both companies gathered around
the same campfire, messed at the same
tables, sang the same songs, and loined in
everything that would result to the pleas
ure of either company. In appreciation of
these relations, S. @. Woodruff prepared a
set of resolutions, complimentary to Com
pany K, and expressive of the good will
and kindly and brotherly feeling which ex-
lists. The resolutions were unimously
adopted by Company A. In return the
latter company sent up some rousing
cheers that indicated full well the spirit in
which the expressions in the resolutions
were received.
Both companies returned on the same
train, and when Olympia was reached
they separated with cheer after cheer, and
recollections of pleasant and profitable

The Fords told what had been done and
gave themselves up to the authorities. The
cold-blooded and treacherous murder,
sanctioned as it was by the legal reward
created the most profound sensation
throughout the West. AT first it was nee
essary to lock the murdeTers in jail and
put large posse to protect them from the
popular fury. Jesse James was deifed in
cheap literature and made a hero of in the
Dick Turpin, Cartouche style, and for a
long time the Fords were held up to popu-
lar execration.
Bob Ford was indicted and brought to
trial. He pleaded guilty and was promptly
convicted. Governor Crittenden pardoned
him in the court room. 1t then leaked out
thet Crittenden had arranged with Ford to
kill the bandit James. He promised him
$4,000 and pardon. The money was
paid. Since then Governor Crittenden has
not been heard Of in Missouri politics. 1t
politically gave him his quietus.
Strange to say, Frank James never at
tempted to avenge his brothers. death, but
died of consumption after having been
converted from a desperate into a re-
spectacle citizen in Kansas City.

Ford killed Jesse April 3, 1882 in a small

Mo. James, who had long been a fugitive
from justice because Of his daring train
robberies and cattle stampeding was in
close hiding. Nobody knew where be was
except Bob and Charley Ford, who were
members of his band and enjoyed the inti-
macy and confidence of his chief.
The detectives had vainly tried to cap
ture him, and at last Governor Crittenden,
of Missouri, set the price of $4,000 on his
head 1t was for this that the Fords
killed him. They pretended to have come
in from a raid in a western county, and
sought shelter in Jesse James asylum. For
several days the three men lived together
on good terms, and yet the opportunity
never came to catch James without his
weapons until at last one day they were
in the living room, and James, who was
rearranging some articles of furniture took
of his belt and laid it with his pistols on
the bed. He climbed on a chair and was
busting off picture when Bob Ford drew
his pistol and sent a bullet through his

Robbed the RusseIViIIe Bank.
Bob FOrd's Career Ended-HOw
Jesse James Died.
Jacob L. Brown, of this city has
in his possession an old-fashioned
navy Colts revolver, which figured
in some of the escapades of the
famous Jesse James gang. 1t was in 81
when Mr.. Brown resided in Russelville,
KY, that the James boys and others of
their band appeared at Russelville under
the guise Of cattle purchasers. They spent
eight days in the town, and made long
trips each day, presumably in search of
cattle, but in reality, to seek a way through
the woods and the quickest road out of
town after the real object of their visit had
been accomplished. They had not been
in town long before they were joined by
another member of the gang, Jack Shep
herd. And the eighth day of their visit,
and that on which they proposed to work
their cards, they spent much of their time
in a saloon.
"Well boys here's luck to your under
takings," said the landlord, as he raised
the glass for the last round of drinks.
But" suggested Shepherd, sit may be
bad one"
Don't make any difference, here's luck, -
was the reply, and in few minutes the
doors swung behind the gay party
The time 1t takes to tell it had hardly
elapsed when the time was aroused by an
alarm of fire. But it was only a myth, to
detract attention from the gang which was
robbing the bank. They had secured S10,-
900, and the identical Jack Shepherd, who
had the conversation at the bar, was blaz-
ing away in front of the bank, to keep the
people back.
A citizens possee was quickly organized,
but the robbers, with a wave of their hats,
started down the street on their horses.
Shepherd stopped long enough to exchange
five shots with Mr. Brown, and then with a
wave of his hat, galloped off to Join his
gang, which disappeared into the woods.
They got $10,0 ,000-all there was in the vault,
and the poor, old banker came out Of the
building, the blood streaming from pistol
shot wound by one Of the robbers.
Shepherd was afterward captured and
served three years in prison. Jesse James
met death at the hands of one of his own
men, Bob Ford, who was shot and Instant
ly killed few weeks ago, at Crede, Col, by
a deputy sheriff.

Democrats are fond Of pointing to the
Cleveland administration as proof that a
member Of their party nay be put in
the presidential chair without Mexican
izing the country and raising general
sheOl. That is true when there is a
Republican senate to hold him level.
Cleveland was Tin this way so COM
pletely handicapped during his term
that he could do comparatively little
harm. His administration threatened
and fumed, and demanded such things
as the complete stoppage of silver coin-
age, the retirement and cancellation of
the greenbacks and the destruction of
the gold and silver certificates, together
with a reduction of the tariff that would
have cut Northern labor to the bone.
But fortunately u Republican senate
stood between the Cleveland admins
tration and the accomplishments of its
desires. 1t was virtually without power
The celebrity and enthusiasm displayed
in ousting Union men and appointing
eX-rebel men to office showed how the
Cleveland administration worked in the
one field where its hands we're free.
But ii the Democracy should carry the
election this fall no such period of "in-
desuetude' as prevailed from
1885 to 1889 could be expected. A VIC
tory this fall would give the Democracy
both branches of Congress as we'll as
the Presidency. They could proceed
without let or hindrance to carry out all
their policies. Once armed with COM
plete power there would be a dropping
of masks and such II display of Demo-
cratic purposes as has not been seen in
twenty-five years. If Cleveland goes
into the White House next March he
will not be hampered as he was before,

It can assist in electing a Democrat by

right to vote for anybody or for nobody

that the two national parties are not

down as a brevet Democrat. He will
be doing mor for the success Of that
party then II he stood square up on his

ces are placed plainly before him.
