TIE Loss OF IEMruILL-The State OF
politics in South Carolina is a very un-
hcalthtul one. Class has been arraycd
against class and the country against the
towns until the situation is unfortunate,
disagreeable and dangerous. For arousing
this cla's prejudice Governor Tillman is
responsible and deserving of public censurc.
Whether tho Conservatives have met him
and bis issue in the wisest manner possible
is questionable. The result of Tuesday 5
primaries would seem to suggest that there
was wiser way of dealing with the situa-
tion than that adopted But the most
deplorabe thing about the whole result
and that was what We started out TO say
is tho defeat Of Congressman john J. Hemp
hill. No man from the South takes a hieh her
stand in the house than Mr.. lTemphll He
reflects credit upon the whole SJuthern
Democracy and his influence and repu,a.

have taken leave Of their senses when they

sign Of abatement. There were to-day in

M. B. CONFERENCE.
Olympia Well Represented at Puy.
allup Today.

Several Hundred ministers Ready
for ExamInatIOn--AT Time When
Preachers are Apt TO TrembIe.
The Annual Changes.
Olympia is well represented at the an
nual conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church for the western half of Wash
ington, in session at Puyallup today.
Among those who left yesterday were Rev.
F. E. Drake, Mrs. NJ. A. Covington and
Mrs. L. ]. CoVington. Prof. Covington and
Rev. NJ. A. Covington, left Monday. Rev.
Mr.. Gray, of Missouri, who removed to
this state for the purpose of entering the
ministry, accompanied Mr.. Drake and will
join the conference. Rev. Mr.. Tonkins,
formerly identified with the Salvation
army in this city, has also gone to Puy-
allup to take the necessary steps for becom-
ing authorized Methodist preach
er. c. B. Seeley, of Napavine. and Miss
Nellie Mcintyre, of Olympia, are among
the visitors. 1t is asserted that Mr.. Seeley
will stop at Tacoma and consult the bishop
on important business. Professor
Tedrick, president ofthe Olympia Collegiate
institute and Rev. W. H. Johnston, of the
Tumwater church, are also present at the
conference.
This is the time of the year when the
bishop changes the preachers from one
charge to another, and more than one
young minister has gone to conference
quaking in his shoes lest he be sent to
some obscure corner of the district. 1t is
not definitely known whether the Rev. f.
e. Drake will be returned or not. His pull
pit will be occupied next Sunday, however,
by Hon. Allen Weir.
Confertnce will remain in session, how
ever, until the last of the week. Several
hundred ministers arein attendance, many
of them accompanied by their wives.

THE CITY'S SEWERS.
Work Progressing on the East and
WeStSideS.

Pumping Out the Old Fire Cisterns.
The APPrOPriatiOns-FIv Miles
of Pipe TO be Laid-The Progress
of the Work.
The work of perfecting the city's sewer
age system is in progress, and about 1000
feet of the main sewer has been laid. The
city originally appropriated $4,000 for
what is termed the labor sewer fund, and
warrants for material are being drawn on
the regular sewer fund, which is a portion
of the total levy for each year.
The work was commenced on Jefferson
street, at Fourth, and has been completed
to Fifteenth. The lateral sewer will be
placed along Fifteenth, from Jefferson to
Main street.
Work on the Main street sewer, which
extends from the alley between Third and
Fourth streets to the channel, was COM
menced on Saturday. This pipe runs
along the Main sewer and joins the alley
at Jefferson street. AT Fourth and Jetfer-
son streets, the main sewer from the East
side will intersect, and will probably be
built Immediately after the completion of
the present work.
Engines have been pumping out the old
fire cisterns at the foot of Main street.
These were built twenty years ago and
were the city's only protection against fire.
A tide valve at the end of the Main street
sewer will serve as protection against the
waves and swells.
On the Westside seven blocks of sewer
have been built of ten inch pipe. all having
an outlet in the DesChutes channel, under
the long bridge. This is only a temporary
arrangement until the harbor is improved
when main line of piping will probably
be laid down the west side.
The laterals north of Seventh street will
be built as fast as the main sewers are COM
pleted to afford an outlet, and the laterals
between Fourth and Seventh streets will
be changed to run north instead of east
and west. The sewers, when complete, will
be five miles in length.

The truth has been repeatedly stated, and
never denied, about the animus back of
this canal project. Leigh Hunt, owner of
the POst-Intelligencer, and a number of his
business and political associates, own the
townsite of Kirkland, upon Lake Washing
ton and also own large bodies of land con-
tiguous to the proposed artificial harbor.
Their purpose is to boom these holdings at
the expense of the general government aud
the people of Washington. No one at
tempts to deny these facts. When they
are advanced only one counter CRY is heard
you are fighting project that proposes
ington; you are disloyal to your state -
Men and brethren, if we have reached that
point where loyalty is to be measured by
greed and gouging methods, in the name of
consistency let us demand $4,000 600 in
stead OF $5,OOO'OOO and be ten times as loyal
as the present standard proposes -Sno-
