IF JOHN DIDN'T DRINK.

Francis Murphy is reported as saying in
Tacoma that he Learned to respect Sulli-
van when the latter took the first money
that he had earned in the prize ring and
bought his mother home with it.
Johns fault Is whisky said Mr.. Muir
ply, but with the blessing of God he will
knock whisky out Think for minute.
Ii John didn't drink-if he had never
touched liquor--if he didn't drink-there's
business with him."
This is unmitigated moral rot. If
''John'' was sober man today and had
always been a sober man, it would not OBJ
scure the fact that he was a man of british
and ruffianly instincts, rs any man must be
who sells his body TO be abused for money.
A prizefighter is lawbreaker, a non-pro-
ductive person Of demoralizing example
and revolving profession. A sober pick
pocket, burglar or highwayman is foe of
law. order and social safety, and so in o
less degree is a sober prizefghter.
The worst thing about John" is that
he has been prizetighter and is willing to

hurts nobody bat himself, while the specta-
Gle Of his success rs a prizehghter has in

Why Register Krutx Was Removed.
Yakima Haarld Ian "a

The Herald Is enabled TO announce that Ira NJ.
krutz has been removed from the registrarship
OF the United States land Office for this district
The announcement was contained in the dis.
patches of Monday, and his successor is Hon r
h. Nichols, who will enter upon the discharge
of his duties with the good viii of all parties.
The change will he hailed with general satisfac.
ton. Mr.. krutz is not only personally unpopu-
lar, but in an Official sense he has been looked
upon with distrust by some settlers who have en-.
deavored to honestly acquire land from the gov.
eminent, and il has even been openly charged
that he has unanswered to keep back the ism
anee OF patents through selfish. if not dishonest.
motives Mr.. Krutz claims to ba a
Democrat but the Democrats are not
only pleased with the change hut
they had formulated q petition asking for Mr..
krutzs removal on the grounds that 1t would
be for the best interests of this district that his
successor be named The action of the presi-
dent fell like thundercIap on Mr.. Krutz He
had repeatedly promised to resign, but had yio-
lated every pledge and was pulling every string
within his reach 10 hold on. His dismissal was
unknown TO him up to Tuesday afternoon. and
he laid great stress on being from the same
state as President Harrison and having .
'nigger" IN the department to retain his ofic.
until the expiration of his term. The appointee
will enter upon the discharge of his duties with
the full confidence of his constituency in This
district He is especially qualified by legal
knowledge and executive ability to give the best
OF satisfaction.

THE NEXT POPE.

The life of the present aged Pope OF
Rome hangs by feeble thread; he is a
very old, infirm man and not only ready
but almost anxious to die. In event of
his death his successor will doubtless be
an Italian, despite the fact that one half
of the sixty cardinals are foreigners. No
one of the ten French cardinals could
gain the support of his German, Austrian
and Hungarian colleagues, and no cardinal,
backed by the triple alliance would be
elected Pope. Cardinal Manning is dead;
Cardinal Gibbons is not familiar with the
two languages, Italian and French, spoken
at the Popai court, and but one English
man has ever been Pope CT Rome. None
of the Spanish cardinals are esteemed able
enough for the succession. The successor
of the Pope will doubtless therefore be one
of the Italian cardinals.
According to the Nttora Antologia the
conspicuous candidates for the succession
are Cardinals Battaglini, Parocchi and
Monaco. The last named is bishop of
ostia and Velletri, deacon of the Sacred
college, and secretary to the Holy Office.
He is "a years old. Cardinal Battaglini,
the archbishop of Bologna, is 6S years
old and somewhat of an invalid. Paroc-
chi is the youngest Of the three candi-
dates, being only IS years old, and is dis
tinguished for an enterprising spirit which
might resort to vigorous and even aggres-
sive measures for the rehabilitation Of the
papacy. He would. no doubt, obtain the
votes of the ten French cardinals, for he
makes no secret of his sympathy for
France and of his dislike for Germany and
Austria
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-01-18

The pope has wisely conceded all that
the French government has claimed. that
the bishops and clergy of the church are
subject TO the state to well-defned ex.
tent, and must SO far obey its behests.
There will be no more episcopal letters Of
encouragement to insnbordinats bishops,
and no more teaching of catechisms which
mislead the learners as to the proper rela-
tons of church and state. The French
radicals will probably continue their aei.
tation for at least the abolition of the
concordat of 1901, and the substitution Of
that OF 1918, which materially limits the
rights and privileges of the clergy.

England would not welcome war be-
tween the United States and Chile,
because it would be certain to
develop our naval power and put
our scacoast in state of defense. With
many important questions, present and
prospective, still unsettled, England GER
tainly has no interest in stimulating war
between Chile and the United States, which
would force Us to develop our military
and naval capacity. The present defense
less condition of the United States clothes
England with decided diplomatic advan-
tage which she is not anxious to lose by
war which would force US to don full
armor. British commercial interests
would suffer by war between the United

ASHES ON THE SLIDE.

When Jim and Bill and were boys many
How gsyly did we use to hail the coming Of the
snow!
Our sleds, fresh painted red and with their run
ner> round and bright,
Seemed to respond right briskly to our clamor
As we dragged them up the slippery road that
climbed the rugged hill
Where perched the old frame meetin' house, so
solemn like and still.
All, coasting iu those days-those good old days
was fun indeedl
sleds at that time, I'd have you know, were
paragons of speed
And ii the hill got bare in spots. as hills viii do,
why, then
Wed haul on ice and snow to patch those bald
But, OIL with what sad certainty our spirits
would subside,
When Deacon Frisbee sprinkled ashes where we
used to slidel
The deacon he would roll his eyes and gnash
his tootnless gums
And clear his skinny throat and twirl his
sanity, bony thumbs
And tell you: when 1 wuz boy, they taught
me to eschew
The goddess, ribald vanitiss which modern
The pathway that leads down to hell is slippery,
straight aud wide,
And Satan Turks for prey where little boys are
Now, he who ever in his life has been little
boy
Win not reprove me when he hears the lam
guage l employ
To stigmatirs as wicksdness the deacon's zeal
Gus spite
In interfering with the play wherein we found
delight,
And SO say, with confidence, not unanoyed of
pride:
"Gol durn the man who sprinkles ashes where
the youngsters slide!"
But Deacon Frisbee long ago went to his lasting
rest,
His money well invested in farm mortga ges out
West;
Bill, Jim, and I, no longer boys, have learned
through years of strife
That the troubles of the little boy pursue the
man through life,
That here and there along the course wherein
we hoped to glide
Some envious hand has sprinkled ashes Just to
spoil our slidel
And that malicious, enyious hand Is not the
deaeon's now,
Grim, ruthless Fatel that evil sprite mona other
is than thoui
Riches aud houors, peace and care come at thy
beck and go,
The soul, elate with ioy TODAY tomorrow
writhes in woe!
And Till a man has turned his face unto the wall
and died
Ee must expect to get his share of ashes on his
shue. Eugene Fled

City Comptroller Ferris has prepared
his annual report upon the financial con.
dition Of the city. The clear and thorough
exposition of this important branch of the
municipal government is the best proof of
the wisdom of creating an auditing de-
partment. If such a statement had been
made OF the condition of the city at the
close of the last administration under the
Old charter, there would be now less mis-
apprehension aud less condemnation Of
