THE CANAL PLANK.

In order that il may be fully understood
how far the enemies of King county went
to strike blow at its interests, and how
gratui;ious Wa. the manner in which the
Democratic state convention launched the
Lake Washington canal INTO politics, we
reproduce the planks on the subject of
public improvements in the platforms of
the two parties. Here is the Republican
plank:

THE LYING TELEGRAPH.

The Seattle telegraph of November 2
contains an editorial article entitled "The
McGraw Certificates" which is disgrace
to tho journalism of Washington. Few
more utterly disgraceful and disgusting
articles have ever appeared in this state.
This article, however, is in keeping with
the tone which the Telegraph has main
tanned for the last three months. 1t has
been pre-eminently vindictive and un-
truthful.
1t denied that ii had received money
from Tacoma, and afterward was forced to
admit that it had done so, alleging, how
ever, that the money was received as
loan. and passing over the fact that its re-
ceipt was exactly coincident with the
papers change Of policy.
It undertook to deceive the people Of
Seattle by a bogus subscription list, and
published, day after day, as subscribers to
q fantastic canal fund, the names Of
lied the use of their names in any way.
1t was forced to confess this fraud.
It stated that John II. McGraw was in
Clancy q Burns saloon at time on
Sunday night, when, as matter of fact.
he was on his way to Whatcom. On the
Monday afternoon following he spoke to
hundreds Of people at Sumas City, place
which he could not possibly have reached
If the 7eIegraph's story had been true.
When caught in this lie the Telegraph
promised to give its authority for the
statement, but has never done SO.
1t stated that John FL. McGraw was at
Tacoma In consultation with n. c. Sulli-
van, when. as a matter of fact, he was in
Seattle. as hundreds of people could testify.
These are but few of the lies, pure
and unadulterated, which have been pub
iished by the Telegraph within the last few
weeks. Is any statement that such paper
could make entitled to a moments Gre

THE PEOPLES PARTY ON THE
DECLINE.

The Western Republicans vino Joined
the Peoples party two years ago are COM
ing to their senses. They have begun to
realize that vote for Weaver is half
vote for Cleveland, and that the Demo-
cratic national committee is only using
them as a cat's-paw hoping that they will
cast votes enough for Weaver to throw
the election into the house of representa-
tives. The result is that thousands of Re-
pubiicans who three months ago had de-
cided to vote for Weaver will vote for
Harrison.
d. G. Ollinger, Of Horton, Kan, form
erly chairman of the Peoples party con-
gress committee for the district in which
he lives, has written letter to Populist
in Illinois, from which we make the fol-
lowing extract:
want to say to'you that the members Of the
Peoples party in Kansas are changing very
rapidly 10 the Republican party, with which
they formerly affiliated. am In position TO
know that the Peoples party OF Kansas since
being absolutely controlled by the Democracy
will not poll 80 per cent, of the vote ii did two
years ago. Isreak aivisedly when make this
statement IL Is II very conservative estimate 10
say that the state will give the Republican cleo
torsl ticket 2000J plurality. Until
witain short time ago there were some who
believed that Gen. Weaver would carry the sill
yer sta;es-Colorado, Nevada and Montana, but
have advices which lead me to believe that
the members OF the People's party in those
states are viewing the conditions which prevail
In the South rs We do here in kansas. and will
generally vote the Republican ticket In Novem.
Der. IL you will pardon me, ! would
like TO cay TO the members OF the Peoples party
OF Illinois. who love home and free American
government, that there is but one duty before
them, and that is TO unite with the party that
proved the eountry's best friend in its hour Of
need.

A RETROSPECT.

In view of Mr.. Snively's new explanation
Of the West Virginia business it will be
we'll for people to recall his original ex-
PLANTATION. He has made some changes in
his statement since the original reply to
the charges of the PosT-igTELLIeENcER.
Mr.. Snivelv then said: ''As to the Fall
Ion heirs, am their guardian" 1t has
been proved beyond the possibility of
doubt that Mr.. SnveIy was removed from
the position of guardian by decree OF
court made more than six years ago.
Mr.. Snively then said: "Their money
was loaned, upon being received by me. TO
George W. Brown. at whose instance be-
came their guardian. Part of the money
was paid when it became due and was
loaned to the firm of Martin & Snively at
q time when l had ali confidence in the
firms success The other part was never
paid to me. and | hold good note for it,
which will he paid when the heirs become
of age. or when demand payment" The
note which Mr.. Snively holds is. signed by
George w. Brown, his bondsman, who
long ago died insolyent. 1t was given in
1881 for one year, and has been outlawed
these many years. This is what he tried
to make people believe was good note.
He then said: II have arranged to pay
each and every one of the heirs as they
become of age" He now admits that one
OF the heirs became Of age almost two
years ago, and that he knew il year ago
last spring, and that not one penny, either
principal or interest. has ever been paid to
her. Here, indeed. Mr.. SnIvely seems to
have lied to the people in his original
statement
He further says: This arrangement lin
regard to paying the heirs) was made with
their attorney about q year ago." No
such arrangement was made year ago or
at any other time. Mr.. Snively has not
named the attorney with whom this al
legged arrangement was made. Mr.. Edward
Whitson. of North Yakima, whom he
originally quoted, explicitly denies that
any arrangement was made.
Mr.. Snively's defense has been consider
ably revised, but ii needs further revision.

wRO PAYS THE TAX.

Twenty-Five years ago the effort began
to include the making of lint among
American industries. At that time man.
uiaotErers in England monopolized its
production. II was supplied to our drug
giats At si.25 per pound. A similar or in
fe.ior article to the American product was
sold in tho British market for Is Cd, or
about CD cents; poorer grades at lower
prices were also made. Consequently We
were compelled to pay shilIings more for
she English commodity when sold here
than st the source of low labor production.
Prohibitive duties were imposed and
soon We were able to manufacture q su-
perior article for So cents pound. a lower
price than If sold in Europe without tariff

MIX. ss1vELr AND MR.. BROWN.

In his defense, Mr.. Snively states that
he accepted the position of guardian to
The Fallon orphans at the suggestion Of
George w. Brown, having previously ar
ranged with Mr.. Brown that the money
paid to him for the benefit of the orphans
by the Catholic Knights of America should
be loaned to Mr.. Brown. Brown there
upon went on Snively's bond. and when
suit was brought to recover it was found
that Brown was insolvent
Here we have Mr.. Brown advising Mr..
Snively to accept this trust. We have
Mr. Brown accepting portion of the
trust funds from Mr.. Snively. We have
Mr.. Brown as Mr.. Snively's bondsman.
Indeed we have swing around the circle
arrangement which must excite the
anger and contempt of any lawyer or any
intelligent business man. and which re-
shifted IN cheating the Faiion orphans
completely ont of their money.

Of underwear for women made of muslin

States, and mems shirts when chiefly
Of cotton are no cheaper in England.
Official British statistics state that the
average weekly wages of persons employed
in the cotton industry in England are
si31, while like statistics OF our govern
ment give the average in the United States
a. 1901, a difference OF over 50 per cent. IN
favor OF this country. The American
worker not only receives 50 per cent higher
wages, but cotton goods are as cheap IN
the United states as in England, and OF
better quality.

Mr.. Cleveland has the extraordinary gall
TO announce that his election is sure if the
Republican man ayers in New York do not
cut the ground from under his feet by
wholesale purchase Of Democratic voters.
This is fine compliment to the venal
quality OF the party upon whose votes
he relies for his election. Mr.. Cleve-
land frankly confesses that the corrupt.
bribe-sccepting classes OF the country are
that of MT Harrison.
Mr.. Cleveland's campaign in New York
state has been exclusively managed from
the beginning by Tsmmany Hall, the
most formidable engine of political cor
ruption in the world. Mr.. Cleveland and
his friends unhesitatingly denounced
this Tammany machine as corrupt when
he was governor Of New York: Mr.. Cleve-
land was nominated in 1854, and in ls92,
in the face of the bitter opposition Of this
Tammany machine. The Cleveland Demo-
Gratis denounced the action of this Tam
many machine when it sent solid dele
ga.ion for Hill 10 Chicago; it reyolted
against this machine, denounced it and its
candidate, Hill. SIS representing the worst
ana most corrupt political forces within
the Democracy of the Empire state.
Mr.. Cleveland was nominated on the
ground that the candidate of the Tam
many machine was sure 10 be repudiated
SIS a corrupt politician by the voters of
New York. About the middle OF Sep
TENDER last the managers ofthe Tammany
machine refused 10 pat il in motion for
Cleveland, but on the isth Of that month
Mr.. Cleyel and promised, in event Of his
election, TO give the Tammany Hsll
Leaders the distribution Of the Federal

Does the American workingman want
tariff for revenue only, which means the
withdrawal of all protection from Ameri-
can competitive industries, or does he
want tariff so protective as TO shut out
cheap foreign labor in the shape of cheap
manufactured goods?

To THE EDITOR: Will you kindly give space
In your valuable paper for few lines regarding
the coming election 81 school directors on Sat
urday, November 81 In the excitement of a ma
tional election the needs OF the public schools
are likely TO be lost sight OF, and their control
may tall into incompetent hands. It is, there
fore, with pleasure learn that two independ-
ent candidates, Mr.. A., W. HASTE and DIR. Sarah
Kendall, have been endorsed by several OF the
leading clubs Of the city. With one of the can
didates am personally acquainted, and do not

ance, but have been. to much labor in finding
those who have, and find his reputation to be
clean and first class He graduated at Knox
college in the college town OF GaIesburg. Ill.
Later he graduated at Chicago from the Union
College OF Law. He Is familiar with public
school systems, bots East and West, having
served as school direcsor, ana resigning this po-
sition upon coming ts our city, where he has es-
tablished himself in: the profession of law. He
Is regarded by his nesghbors a. one OF our most
valuable citizens.
DR.. Sarah Kendall Il we'll known practicing
physician In our MIDST, and If elected would
bring new and much needed element into the

WHAT HE THINKS OF THE CANAL.

Citissns Of King county should not for
get that. on the occasion of his speech in
Seattle. Mr.. 6nively had only sneer for
the Lake Washington canal. The canal
question 3 to the people of this county the
most important issue Of the campaign.
Yet the candidate for governor who stands
upon platform condemning our senators
for working for that canal had nothing to
say when questioned in regard to his posi-
ton on the subject. except to state con-
tcmptuously that he thought the people
OF King county should dig their canal,
and dig IL in '9a And yet Mr.. Snively
asks tho people Of King county to support
him for the Office of governor.

Mr.. Snively unqncstionably lost many
scsss oy his speech at the First Regiment
A.mosy on Tuesday evening. 1t is sefe to
ssy thst nobody was satisfied with the ex-
p'anasion which he made in regard to the
falion orphans. And i. Is equally safe to
say that raany who went into the hail in
clinsd to vote for Mr.. snively camo out
dssermined to vote against him.
Its not because Mr.. Snively did not
earnestly strive to make q good impress
sion chat he failed TO do so. He did his
hsss. but in spite of his lodging and
shutting, 1t Was apparent to all nnpreju-
diced hearers that he was guilty of the
charges made against him. And it is be-
cause Of This feeling that the meeting did

1t is estimated that 25OOO,OO0 pounds of

talk about sugar ard wool being affected
the same by the tariffs nonsensical. After
100 years of protection this country did
not produce 10 per cent. Of the sugar it
consumed. After ten years Of genuine
