James Morrison, who writes long letters
to the Telegraph IN the interest of honesty
and purity, is the pettifogging lawyer who
was disbarred in Seattle two years ago,
after trial, on the charge of having induced
man named Sherman to personate his
brother, and to commit perjury and forg-
cry. Morrison's sole motive,was to make
$3.50 by filing an affidavit in the land
Office. Morrison was found guilty and is
still disbarred. He acquired the informa-
ton on which he saw chance to use Sher-
man by betraying the confidence of Chaplin
& Dodge, who had generously given him
desk room in their office. This is the
champion of the Democratic cause.

oning for the great expense incurred after
the fire; that the large amount of money
said to be squandered in salaries was the
payment to labor for work on the water
and sewer systems out of the bonds voted
for the purpose. 1t has been shown that
for ten months there has been steady
and systematic reduction of expenses in
every department.
Democratic orators from the head of the
ticket down TO Junius Rochester have
garbled-ignorant!y or willfully--the fig
ures representing the city's finances.
Their misrepresentation have been met
and exposed at every step-not by specious
argument, but by the cold, memorable
logic of irrefutable fact.
The two principal candidates for
mayor have met the people and ex-
pressed their views. One, quiet busi-
ness man, has talked to his auditors
in a plain, practical, eommon-sense
way, promising no impossibilities, but
steady honest, progressive admins
tration-takingi into account all the diverse,
often complex. always varying needs of a
growing city.
The other candidate, q well-meaning but
wholly impractical man, promising any
thing and everything. arousing his audi
ence to ephemeral feryor by the forsenic
strategy of pleader at the bar, but dis
playing the profoundest ignorance of the
matter-of-fact principles of municipal gov
eminent. The one appeals to deliberate
reason, the other to momentary excite
ment; and in their speeches indicate the
course that each would follow. On the
one hand the city is assured of stability,
calculated economy and well-considered
expenditures; on the other, a period of few
erish activity in making political
record" with little thought of the city's
material prosperity.
Unless all signs fail, the Republican
ticket will be victorious on Tuesday, but
as this should be campaign of reason. an
election determined by good judgment
and by good citizenship. by foresight as to
the future and by confidence in Seattle's
development, each ballot will carry with
it measure of responsibility which every
wise man should bravely assume.

The office of city treasurer is one of the most
important in the city. 1t needs not merely q
man of integrity, but one who is competent to
keep the accounts in good order They are at
present in splendid shape, and a great mistake
will be made if the taxpayers, who are so vitality
concerned. do not elect to that office
man in every respect qualified to fill it.
Bonds to the amount OF 100000 are necessary,
but no less necessary is the experience required
TO keep accounts. Victor Hugo Smith, the Re-
publican nominee, possesses all these qualitl-
cations. He was bank cashier and bookkeeper
for ten years, five of which were spent in
Davenport Ia, aud the remainder in Sc
attic. His Democratic opponent is a reputable
man, but his business training has not been
such as to fit him for position requiring excep-
tionai clerical ability. The city has already
suffered from its reliance upon a man whose
good character did not compensate for the lack
Of experience in bookkeeping. The mistake
should not be repeated.

One of the few members OF the city council
who has been re-noninated is A. A. Barton,
who has been selected by the Republicans of
the Fourth ward to represent them in the house
OF delegates His course during the past term
has been such as to call for the highest COM
mendation. He was always valiant cham
pion Of good measures and his bold,
blunt way OF expressing opinions which
were always broad and far-seeing, exerted
a powerful influence in shaping legisla-
ton. He was sometimes in the minority, some
times on the unpopular side, but when meas
ure was once passed ho invariably sought to get
the utmost good from it. Mr.. Barton has spent
the best part OF his life as mechanic, and his
mental vigor has placed him in the foremost
ranks of active, influential citizens

ward is W. J. Clark. who is at present one OF the
FIRE commissioners. He was born in Illinois in
1867, but has resided in Seattle nearly four
years, where he has been engaged in the FIRE in
surance and loan business. His knowledge of
the practical workings of one OF the most i'm

It is said the Democrats are opposed to
the proposed bond issue. If this is true
they must have little hope of electing
their candidates on Tuesday; for, with the
bond issue defeated, the incoming city
government will be face to face with
problem in government which will tax
their ingenuity to the utmost.

The delft mingling of brilliant hues so widely popular this year is seen to great advantage in some of the shaggy Russian plaids and stripes. Some have wide bars in scarlet, green and gold, on black or very dark grounds; others have medium wide stripes in rather light shades, framed by narrow lines of more brilliant colors, and on this ground a pattern of large checks is traced by loops or fraise lines in re- lief. Plain fabric, the same shade as the ground, is used for the cor sage and slightly trained back of the skirt, while the rough material is employed for the skirt front and side gores, the sleeves, revers and waist coat.

ouerns in the Kitchen.

The Empress Elizabeth of Austria, that accomplished horsewoman, that sovereign of court where aristo- cratic prejudiees are of the strongest kind, glories in her talent as a pastry cook. Her daughter, the Arch duchess Valeria, boasts of having penetrated all the secrets of the an eient and modern cuisine. Queen Victoria is fond of making omelets, and it seems she has several recipes. Her daughter-in-law, the Prince of Wales, exeels in preparing tea but tered toast. But prince of royal blood have more serious occupations, and time was when the heir to the throne of England devoted his leis- ure hours to the study of entomolo- gy, and when Prince Albert delyed assiduously in works of paleology.

An American Colony.

A woman just home from Lon don comments on the constant in creasing size of the American colony in tbat city. II suppose it is be- cause living is cheaper there than in New York She says: "A man told me that he can live better there for s3000 than he can here for s5OOO. The person who stays there only short time does not discover this, often fancies, in nieed, that London is very dear place, but after residence of few months one learns the ropes, so to speak, and finds out how to manage.
 aThen, 1t is possible to live in good style much cheaper than in New York. House rent is an i'm portant item that is fully third lower, and, by the way, found several women over there. Amer cans, who are making fair living teaching these same ropes to would be Anglo American householders. They find you an establishment ae- cording to your tastes and means in a suitable location, engage you ser wants, even negotiate for your carrisss age if you want one and keep an eye on the household for three months or until you are able to manage things yourself-all for due con sideration in pounds, shillings and pence"
