TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.

In talking with Mr.. A. w. Rumsey

service we learned that this exchange
was larger in proportion to the popu-

cities. We obtained the following fact
about the neighboring exchanges:

A DEMOCRATIC ATTACH.

The Democratic organ of Seattle seems
10 be unable to grind out all the music of
the campaign, and the Democratic organ
oil Tacoma, the Ncws. has been called to its
assistance. The Neus of last evening con-
tains four-column article assaiIing the
seastle registration. Here is sample
paragraph:
fuily III names arc registered on the books
from fesleFs wharf. Not soul sleeps on that
wharf, unless 1t be that the night Waterman
Clutches an occasional nap,
Among the men who are charged by tho
Ncsrs with engaging in the work Of placing
bogus names on the registration books are
Patrick Kirk and Secretary Tobin, of the
Firemen's Union.
Every well-iDformed person knows that
the voters who register from Yesler's wharf
are the steanboatmen who make Seattle
their home. They have perfect right to
register here and to vote here.
Whatever fraud there may be in the
registration the Republicans are anxious
to have exposed, for clean and fair ballot
always benefits the Republican party. If
the Democrats hope to win by assailing
such citizens as Patrick Kirk and Secrc-
tary Tobin, or by DISTINGUISHING the steam
boatmen, their hopes will be blasted.

HE SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL.

Mr.. George Donworth, Democratic can
didate for corporation counsel, is credited
by tho organ of his party with having
used in his recent speech on Pioneer place
the following language:
must ceprccate the expressions which are
appearing in the Republican press, which il
dealing In dire personalities, beneath and unbs-
coming the issues of the campaign.
Ii Mr.. Donworth used this language he
should be ashamed of himself He has
been treated by both of the Republican
papers of this city with a degree of con-
sideration which candidates of political
party seldom receive. Indeed, he has been
treated with courtesy from the beginning
of the canvass.
Mr.. Donworth's spectacles are turned
the wrong way. The organ of his own
party has been vigorously heaping abuse
upon Republicans for the past week. Its
editorial columns have bristled with
epithets which have placed them
on a par with the scurrilous
letters prepared by the anonymous letter.
writer of its staff. 1t has, in fact, been
"dealing in dire personalities, and it has
thus far had monopoly of them.
Mr.. Donworth should be more careful.
He is refined and educated gentleman
and valued member of the Rainier club.
He should really be more careful. Ii he is
not, bluff, hearty,old Orange Jacobs will
beat him in this race.

ury left by the old council, of which D. L.
Durie and 7. e. Jones were the most in
duential members.
There was not $4,000 derived from
licenses. fines, etc, but only $135, 248. Out
of that sum there Is to be deducted si2,-
$3.50 for licenses refused or refunded to
saloons, ETC., going out of business;
s26, s45 So paid to the state as its portion of
the licenses for two years previous; 49,
$3.50 for the park fund, and 81. 523.s 80 for
the library fund; altogether SOS, l25B,
leaving only $50, 122of, instead of Mr..
Ronald's $4,000.
Mr.. Ronald says 'our water was in
river and was to cost about sl,0D0Uo. vi
this ssf5, 900 is spent and We are only at
Lake Washington"
The fact is that the Cedar river plan was
roughly estimated to cost $i.2oo,0oO to
bring the water to the city limits alone,
and even that was afterward found too low
by 5000 when it was discovered that
wooden pipe would not do.
The ss45, 600 for buying the Spring Hill
plant, putting in pumps at Lake wash
ington and laying mains through the city
was estimated to be necessary in
addition to the cost of bringing
water from Cedar river. 1t was
never proposed to keep the city with only
two small pumps for three years until the
Cedar river system was built, nor did any
sane man ever contemplate that the Lake
Washington system should be abandoned
and the city left to the chances of sup
ply twenty miles off, and subject to entire
cutoff by breakage of pipe, snowsiide,
q landslide or the breaking of one of the
long wooden culverts necessary to bring
the pipe from Swan lake.
'"fhey gave out scrip bearing 10 per cent.
interest, then got an option at 40 or 30
cents on the dollar, bought it in and then
issued bonds to pay for it," This is such
a wild and culpabIe Misrepresentation as
to be unworthy of any man, even in the
heat of political campaign.
1t is serious matter that the business
interests Of great city like Seattle should
even run the risk of being tempered with
by one whose demagogic recklessness is SO
apparent.

AN INSULT TO IRIsH-AMERICAys.

The Telegraph in discussing the possible
support of Mr.. Leary by Irish-American
voters concludes that Mr.. Leary will get
the votes of some Instantaneous who
have heretofore acted with the Democrats.
1t declares, however: "Of course, there
are shabby fellows among the Irishmen as
among all classes Of people. To put it in
another way: there are Irishmen and
there are things born in Ireland"
This is true Democratic talk. The aver
age Democrat has SO long regarded the
Irish voter as chattel belonging to his
party that he cannot restrain his rage
when he hears of an Irishman who pro-
poses to vote for Republican.
So long as Irishmen vote the Demo-
cratic ticket straight and ask no questions,
the Telegraph treats them with distin-
guished consideration. AS soon as they
show spark of political independence,
however, the Telegraph sneers at them as
things born in Ireland"
Are the Irishmen OF Seattle controlled
by the personal organ of Burke and Gil
man? Are. they willing to support the
candidates of party whose chief newspa-
per speaks of them as 'things born in
Ireland" simply because some of them
evince disposition to vote for Repub-
lican?
A more shameful attack than that of the
Telegraph was never made upon our Irish
American fellow-citizens. Unless the
spirit of Irishmen has changed, the men
born in Ireland will answer that attack on
next Tuesday.

DISEASES OF WOMEN.
Treatment and Cure by an Entirely
New and Successful Method.

Female diseases are extremely common,
and none are more complicated and diff
cult of treatment than the class generally
known as female complaints" and none
which are the cause of greater misery and
woe. Such are their habits OF dress that
the natural circulation OF the body is dis
turbed, bringing too much blood to the pei
vic region, causing congestion, intiamma-
ton and liberation, relaxation OF the ab-
dominal muscles, causing falling of the
bowels, and, as a consequence, the dis
placement of the bladder and uterus. In
fact, most of the difficulties arise from dis
placement or falling OF the organs. For
such cases the only rational cure consists
of contracting the muscles and append
ages of support. Uterine diseases are not
incurable, but when properly treated, yield
readily, as the disposition of all such
cases is to get we'll. ELECTROMAGNETIC
treatment, as practiced by Drs. Darrin, is
a positive cure for all these painful COM
plants and weaknesses peculiar to women.
1t removes congestion by equaiizing the
circulation Of the blood and nervous fiuid;
strengthens the muscles of the uterus and
lifts 1t into place; contracts the muscular
hbres and imparts a healthy tone to the
relaxed organs. ELECTROMAGNETIC will
entirely cure the worst form of inramma-
ton, liberation, flooding, irregular or
tardy menstruation and female troubles of
whatever nature II durable. 1t is i'm
possible for a woman after faithful course
of treatment to have weakness. Hun
dreds Of women cherish grateful remem-
brance of the health they have derived
from ELECTROMAGNETIC treatment as adj
ministered by Drs. Darrin.
Cures OF male or female complaints are
withheld in professional confidence, with
due regard to delicacy Of the patients.

not favor the nomination OF any man who
is an out-and-out advocate of free silver
coinage. German of Maryland, Whitney
OF New York and Bayard of Delaware are
none of them ''free silver" men. But if
the Democracy decline to pass free silver
measure in the House and make the tariff
the issue it will be impossible to select
candidate that can carry the country for
absolute free trade, tor the Democratic
protectionists at the East will never vote
for it, and it will be difficult to persuade
these Democrats to vote for free wool and
free lumber; or generally for such tariff
reform as was rejected in 1888.
Between free silver and free trade the
Democracy are caught between the devil
and the deep sea.
