THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The Democrats Of Seattle yesterday NOM
mated their city ticket. The convention
was quiet affair. All the worl, had been
cut out beforehand by the bosses, and the
delegates had little to do but ratify the
nominations which had boon determined
upon weeks ago. The spasmodic efforts
that have been made from time to time to
bring out Democratic candidate for
mayor in opposition to the one selected by
tie bosses ell proved abortive, and Mr..
Ronald was placed at the head of the ticket
in accordance with the programme adopted
weeks ago.
Mr.. Ronald has been a resident OF Seat
tie for eight or nine years, and has partici-
pated,as a candidate in number of poll
teal campaigns, in some of which he has
been successful. He has never been
I identified with the business interests of
Seattle. He has done little or nothing to
further the advancement of the city. His
name has never been connected with any
commercial or manufacturing enterprise.
He has never taken part in any popular
movement outside of the strict lines of
party pOlltlES. Il0 Is over SIX
feet in height, and rejoices in the posses
sion of a loud and somewhat rasping
voice, which he does not allow to languish
for want of exercise. His other qualiiica-
tons for the office of mayor are not appar-
ent.
In point of ability and qualifications the
remaining candidates on the ticket aver
age considerably higher than the candi-
date for mayor. George Donworth, can
didate for corporation counsel, is gentle
man of excellent standing and unques-
toned legal attachments. Adolph Krug,
who is presented for treasurer, is gentle
man of wide acquaintance and popularity,
though his qualifications for the Office
which he seeks are not apparent. George
Fortson, candidate for city attorney, and
George Stoneman, candidate for city clerk,
are bright young men, who will doubtless
poll the full vote of their party.
Altogether, the ticket is one of average
strength, but it has the usual Democratic
failing-its head is its weakest point.

According TO a receu Washington dispatch to
the New York World, there is an echo OF the
Cleveland Blaine campaign Of 1854 in the story
behind the nomination of Roland B. Mahany, of
New York, TO be minister 10 Ecuador. The
Mugwump lever, which was epidemic in Massa-
ehusetts during that exciting canvas, was con-
tracted by not few of the students of Harvard
college. President Eliot, too, boltsd the nomi-
nation of the Maine statesman. Young Mshany
defended Mr.. Blaine's career and stopped the
stampede that had set in. The fight in the col
lege came under Mr.. Blalnes notice. After the
election Mr.. Blaine wrote a letter to the young
man thanking him for his action. Suisse
quenuy young Mahany was introduced to the
secretary and Mr.. Blaine took strong liking to
him. His appointment was undoubtedly sug-
gested by the secretary.

A few years ago an Oregon reporter con-
Guided his description of the rescue by
woman Of some drowning sailors at the
mouth of the Columbia by saying that
"her daring act recalled the illustrious
name and heroic fame of Florence Night
ingale." His chief the next morning told
the reporter that Florence Nightingale
was hospital nurse, and that he had evil
IDENTIFY COMPOUNDED her with Grace Darling,
and further observed that "someF men
were sure to confound a wood nymph with
mermaid, dryad with naiad, bald
eagle with an albatross, woodchuck with
sea otter" The Oregon reporter can
take comfort, however, for the Des Moines
Register remarks that 1.-THE patron saint of
all nurses is the great singer, Florence
Nightingale. Her labors IN the Crimean
war have immortalized her name more
than the sweetest song that ever fell from
her lipsn

FREE Wool.

A Massachusetts, correspondent writes
the Posr-IxrEILIGEScER that he sees no
reason why the protected WOODEN manu-
facturer should not have free wool rs well
as the protected boot and shoe manu-
facturer free hides,
Wool is considered an industry that is
competitive, while We do not pretend to
he competitors IN the matter of hides
against the vast hide producing regions of
South America. Major Mckinley sums
up the whole argument against free wool
and protected WOODEN manufactures when
he gays we can't fairly make wool free on
the sleeps back and then tax it on the
mans back. Protection must he for 81, or
none.
The Springer wool bill repeats the wool
duties, the specific duties on w,,9.ens

While residents of Washington feel a
natural regret that the circuit iudgeship
was not given to a member of the bar of
tneir own state, they have no reason to
complain at the choice of the president,
Mr.. William B. Gilbert, of Portland.
The selection of Mr.. Gilbert does credit
TO the discrimination of President Harri-
son. whose Judicial appointments have
thus far won the praise of the intelligent
public opinion of both the great political
parties. A very able lawyer himself, Pres
ldent Harrison has shown his respect for
his profession by the pains he has taken to
put none but sound iurists on the federal
bench.
Mr.. Gilbert is sound and studious law
yer. Never brilliant jury advocate he, is
an excellent SUI reme court lawyer; q can
oid, well-read, broad-minded jurist. His
private and public life has always been
without reproach, and he brings to the
bench the reputation of ain incorruptibIe,
absolutely honest man. He will make an
excellent Judge and do credit to his APP
pointmenK

Chicago was somewhat disappointed in Col
onel Robert G. Ingersoll, who was the principal
speaker at the Lincoln celebration there. Fully
5000 people packed the Auditorium to listen to
the orator ana applaud him every chance they
had, but the fact that he read his Grafton from
manuscript rather dampened the popular en-
thusiasm His gestures were constrained, and
il was only when at intervals he laid aside his
notes and stepped forward from behind the desk
20 speak eItempoTaneously that he recalled 20
the audience the Iugersoll OF old tune. The
co,oners fat round face is described as being
full of color, sad over 1t hung an sureole of
closely cropped, suow-whlte hair One account
says that he looked, talked and acted Ike his
greatest antipathy-the typical preacher.

DEATH TO POTATO BUGS.

A village correspondent writes: Zone

sen the labor of Kidding our gardens and
fields of the potato bug pest. And, mas
much as it costs nothing, neither has it
yet been patented, every one who chooses
can avail himself of its benefits. 1t SIM
ply consists in solution of soap and
water placed in pan or other vessel.
Then the operator goes through the rows
and with stick or brush gathers the bugs
into the pan, when every mothers up-
fledged son of them will sink to the bot
tom as though it were lead; no crawling
up on the sides of the pan to escape, and
no danger of poison in handling. A few
of the full-hedged ones may perhaps float,
but they don't even kick, being dead as
soon as they strike the water. Why they
should float any more than the young
ones is not known, unless it be that they
are inflated with wind or gas, like certain
other "big bugs" of another type, and
have an aversion to soap and water.
Howbeit, this method greatly facilitates
the labor of destroying them, and it seems
strange that no one has discovered it be-
