TARIFF TAXATION.

Sec. 3. We denounce Republican pro-
lection as fraud. The robbery of the great
majority OF the American people for the
benefit of the few. We declare it to be a
fundamental principle OF the Democratic par
ty that the Federal Government has no con
.titutional power to impose and collect tariff
duties, except for the purposes OF revenue
only, and we demand that the collection CT
such taxes shall be limited to the necessities
of the Government when honestly and econ.
omlcally administered.
We denounce the Mckinley tariff law en-
acted by the Fitty-fr5t Congress as the cul
minating atrocty of class legislation; we in
dorse the efforts made by the DemoCr rats OF
the present Congress TO modify i5s most OPP
presslva features in the direction OF free raw
materials and cheaper manufactured goods
that enter into general consumption, and we
promise its repeal as one of the benefcent
results that will follow The action Of the
people in Intrusting powerto the Democrat
ic party. Since the Mckinley tsliif went
into operation there have been ten ieduc-
tions Of the wages OF laboring men TO one
increase. We deny that there has been any
increase Of property to the country since
that tariff went into operation; we point to
the dulness and distress which wage reduc-
tions and strikes in the iron trade as the
best possible evidence that no such pros
peritv has resulted from tho Mckinley act.
We call the attention OF thoughtful Amer
leans to the fact thai after thirty years OF
restrictive taxes against the importation OF
fereign wealth in exchange for our agrIcul-
trroi eurnlus the homes and farms of the

ALLEGED RECIPROCITY.

Sec. A. Trade exchange on The basis OF
reciprocal advantages to the countries par
ticpating is a tme-honored doctrine of the
Democratic faith, but we denounce the sham
reciprocity which jugges with the peoples
desire for ENLARGED foreign markets and
freer exchange by pretending to establish
closer trade relations with country whose
articles Of export are almost exclusively ag-
rloultursl products with other countries that
are also agricultural, while erecting q Gus
tom.houso barrier ofprohibitive tariff taxes
against the richest countries OF the Worlu
that stand ready to take our entire surplus
of products and to exchange therefor com
modities whco are necessaries and comforts
Of life among our own people

BOARD OF WORKS.
Proposition to Provide Plan for Four
teenth Street Slide.

Proposition to Provide Plan for Four
teenth Street Slide.
The board of public works had an I'M
usually long session yesterday. 1t was
decided that it would be much cheaper to
have all blacksmithing and horse-shoeing
done by an employee instead of giving out
Commissioner Cochran it was resolved to
adopt that plan after the 10th inst.
The claim of McMullen & Harper for
pay for thirty-two kegs of nails used on
Chestnut street was rejected on the ground
that they were included in the lumber bill.
The board decided to recommend to the
ell an ordinance for the Improvement
of South Seventh street.
City Engineer Thompson submitted the
grade of Fifth street in the Pontlus addl-
ton.
Major Rinehart moved that Mr.. Van
Brocklin and the city engineer arrange a
plan for the permanent improvement of
the slide on Fourteenth street, and the
same was accordingly ordered.
A. Hulberg was allowed to withdraw the
80 per cent. of the estimate on the I'M
provement of Pine street, thirty days hav-
ing expired since the acceptance of the
work.
Sunset Telephone Company was allowed
to repair telephone lines on Madison
street, between Fourth street and Lake
Washington, under the supervision of the
street superintendent.
The board recommended the grade of
Fourth street as submitted by the city en-
gineer, which calls for a twenty-four foot
cut between POntiuS and Mary street,
doing away with the zigzag walk now in
use. This would give grade a trifle over
IL per cent.

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Very Few Speeches But q Lot of Bills
Passed.

President Kloeber called the attention
of the delegates to the exhibition made bv
the fire boat at the burning of the barrel
factory. He had no doubt it has a power
full engine, but it seems ridiculous that an
engineer cannot use the boat so that the
hose should not be burst for want of regu-
lation. The cost of the boat is 81. 200 per
month, more than any fire station and
yet it is never available when fire breaks
out. He suggested an investigation and
if it cannot be arranged to make the
Snoqualmie more efficient, ne favored nut
ting her out of commission.
DR.. Crichton moved that a committee be
appointed by the chair to investigate the
management of the freboat and its pro-
cedure ut that fire especially.
The chair appointed DR.. kloeber. CALI
gan and Lyon, but Mr.. CaIligan asked to
be excused as he was chairman of the fire
and water committee and Brace was ap-
pointed.
The mayor returned to the house two
ordinances without his approval. One
provides for the payment to J. z. Jones of
the amount of en- award made by an
praisers, which he rejects on the ground
that Jones notified the corporation
counsel that he owned no land
as described. The other, providing nav
nient to ]. Gardner Kenyon for an award
is returned because he has already obtained

rant for interest on the general fund; and
of Si2,7l3.$6 of the principal on account of

Donworth made the same explanation as

Delegate Calligan introduced bill an

cure suitable offices for the corporation

tour of the Sound. But Captain Ganse-
WORT. who had succeeded Captain Sterrest,
refused to go.
''That same night observed two strange
Indians, who said they were friends; but
they were really the Chiefs Leschi and
Owhi, who had come to form plot with
the Lake Indians. who were encamped on
the shore. The plan was to attack
US the next morning at about
or 10 O'Clock. The best shooters
were to come down close to the houses
and fire volley or two. We would pur-
sue and be led little way up the hill to
the ridge beyond the gully, now nearly
filled in, and then the great body of the
Indians would fall upon US and kill u.s.
Meantime the Lake Indians were expected
to attack us in the rear and cut off
communication with the Decatur.
"But about O'Clock on the morning of
the 18th saw some of the friendly Indians
hurrying into their canoes. An old squaw
told me that Tenn Peppers house. east OF
town, was filed with hostile Klickitats.
"a shell was fired at this house and there
followed terrible warwhoop and vol
ley from the whole line of the chapparel.
Men, women and children ran helter-
SHELTER into the blocknouse for protec-
ton.
1.-THE firing between our men and the
volunteers on one side and the Indians on
the other kept up incessantly until nearly
ii O'Clock, and the air seemed full of bull
lets. Then there was lull and suddenly
savage charge was made upon the divi-
sion | commanded.
1.-THE Indians were firing rapidly, but

came nearer and nrarer, till they were
not thirty feet away. and still
not man in my division budged.
Had the Indians rushed to hand-to-
hand fight all would have been up with
US, for they could have overwhelmed us by
sheer force of numbers. But at the very
muzzles of our guns they wheeled and fled
back into the woods.
SIN a little while the firing from the
woods began as before, and there was a
steady reply from the biockhouse and the
Decatur. At 10 O'Clock at night the guns
ceased and the battle of Seattle was over.
Under cover of hight the hostiles with

In connection with the story as told by
Admiral Phillips, the following paragraph
from the History of Seattle is of interest:
Before thfs vigorous assault the men were
forced TO retire within the line of the stockades
The attack was now renewed with increased
energy, and fierce charge was made
upon one of the divisions OF the Decatur's
force. composed of fourteen men. stationed
near the opening in the woods which marked
the beginning of the lake trail. This little
band, however, met the charge with such vgor
that the Indians re.reated. Had they
not iiinched from the muzzle of this

thrown themselves on these few men with
ardor they would have blotted them out of ex-
istence by sheer force OF numbers. But such
was not to be, and Seattle was saved by the
recoil."

mon school branches for the coming years
quarterly teachers examinations in the
counties of the state. At that time they
will also examine applicants for state GER
titicates and life diplomas. the examina-
ton questions being the same in each case.
There are twenty branches upon which
applicants are examined. Applicants may
pass on any number of these at any ex-
animation and complete the remaining
branches at the next yearly examination,
or at any previous examination. This
makes the work comparatively easy for all
teachers who have had experience and de-
sire life certificates, so as to be freed from
all future examination.
The branches upon which examination
is given are the following: photography,
