To THE EDITOR: The initiated need no a.
PLANTATION about the deal recently entered into
between Messrs. Young and sutton, ofacss Of
the King County Weaver Club aud the manage.
ment OF the conglomerated Telegraph The IN
initiated, however, will be astonished to lean
that the King County Weaver Club was called
into existence, fostered and maintained By tho
same secret Democratic machine OF which msn.
tion has been made at various times in these
columns.
No wonder that Mr.. Van Waters feels himsslf
compelled to explain that sin contracting for
this space in the columns Of the Telegraph W
have placed ourselves under no restriction
whatever to freely combat both old parties"
Mr. Van Waters knows that what he says IN
his apology is absolutely false. He knows thss

He and his associates ought further TO know
that the reason why the salaries Of the city OH

Democratic party, was in order to enable thoss
officials to contribute literally to yhe corrupsel
fund.
The honest and well-meaning that are still h

In it some OF the most contemplate Democrats

The New York Tribune says: "One Of
the sliiiest devices of the free trade enemy
Is that of figuring out the difference of
wages between England and the United
states IN given industry. and after de-
Quoting the percen age from the tariff
duties, charging the balance to the manu-
facturer as extortionate profits. The con-
sumner has his share of the profits when
prices are reduced. and the senate finance
committee investigation has shown that
prices have fallen in two years in nearly
all domestic manufactures. 1t Is prepos-
ferrous to assume that when allowance is
made for difference in wages. the manu-
facturer has the balance of profit from
protection. That cannot be true if prices
are chespened."

Gin view of facts, that are abundantly well
known as to the use that people shut out
from the exposition made of their Sunday
afternoons In Philadelphia"
Bishop Potter holds that '.the Christian
theory of life. as enunciated by Christ him
self, demands most of all as between things
tolerabie, permissible and prohibited the
habit of discrimination; that man must
deal with the Sunday question according
to the dictates of an enlightened judgment
and conscience. Approaching the Sunday
question in this spirit Bishop Potter
reaches the following conclusion regard
ing particular rslaxations of Sunday usage
in great city;
He has not suddenly become a goddess and
profane person because he differs with other
equally honest and conscientious people about
Sunday, or because he holds that there are in
herited views al to the observance of that day
which cannot by any process of ingenuity be
read into the pages Of the New Testament nor
into any canon BY which Christendem il bound
either in its Interpretation Of that book of the
Lords day. Those inherited views, however
dear to some OF us, have just so much weight a.
can be gained for them from the study of the
history OF the origin and institution of the
Christian Sunday-and no more And If such .
study makes plain TO US the value OF the day OF
rest, Of worship, and no less of a cheerful and
manly exercise of our Christian liberty in
things indifferent in the observance of such
day. we may wisely consider whether Sunday
wisely guarded for such uses is not the best
