THE SCHOOL BONDS.
The Election on Friday Next on the
High school QuestiOn.

High school Question.
Farson, Leach & Co., the successful bid
ders for the school bonds, several days ago
forwarded to Clerk Chilberg blank bonds
for the signatures of the directors, and
urged that they be signed at once, but
nothing will be done until after the cleo
tion next Friday.
The law authorizing the issuing of
school bonds says that the directors shall
furnish the form Of the bonds. When the
bonds We're contracted for it was agreed
that the purchaser should pay for the lith-
Ographing. This doubtless accounts for
their haste in furnishing the blanks, and
in doing so have prescribed the form.
The bond contains the usual promise to
pay, but also has this provisions "And it
is hereby certified and recited that all acts,
conditions and things required to be done
precedent to and in the issuing of said
bonds have been properly done, happened
and performed, in regular and due form as
required by law" 1t is usual to place this
in municipal bonds but the fact that the
board deems another election necessary to
correct some errors rather shows that, in
the minds of the board, this statement is
not exactly correct. Whether the election,
If carried, will make it true is another
question.
1t is the opinion of lawyers that if the
board signs the bonds with that statement
recited, the district would have to pay the
bonds whether the statements true or not
The people will thus see what power the
board has in the matter of issuing bonds
and will appreciate the determination OF
the board to go slow. The bonds would
probably be good without the above pro
vision, but it would be more difficult fol
the purchasers to dispose of them.
The directors have not indicated wha
they will do if the election next Friday is
not carried, but if the people do not wan
the school house it is safe to say that n,
money will be borrowed.

Mr.. Fiske,s Visit.

Olympia did itself credit last evening in
the size and character of the audience that
assembled to hear the distinguished
scholar, John Fiske, on the Discovery of
America" at the Unity auditorium Mr.
Fiske remarked to a gentleman this morn
ing that the audience will stand out in his
memory because of the marked intelH-
gence Of the faces and the sustained inter
est that was shown. He confessed that the
talk was real pleasure to himself, and
declared that he spoke fifteen or twenty
minutes longer than he usually does, be-
cause of the marked attention given to his
words.
He enjoyed very much a visit to the state
library and seemed quite at home among
the rare and valuable books found there.
He is in favor of Tacoma as the name for
the mountain which an Englishman tried
to name, in our neighborhoOd.
Mr.. Fiske will carry away a very pleas
ant impression of Olympia, and certainly
all who heard him last evening, will hold
a very pleasant recollection of him as an
easy, pleasant and instructive speaker.

Beatty,s Pianos and organs.

Hon. Daniel f. Beatty, the great organ
and piano manufacturer, is building and
shipping more organs and pianos than
ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
nlless plow boy, and by his indomitable
will he has worked his way up so as to sell
so far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's organs
and pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles in his way that
would have wrecked any ordinary man for
ever, he turns to an advertisement and
comes out of brighter than ever. His in
struments, as is well known, are very pop
ular and are to be found in all parts of the
world. We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200 600
more Of his make, that means a business
of $2O,000,0OO if we average them at 500
each. 1t is already the largest business of
the kind in existence. Send to Daniel Il.
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for cata-
lOgue.

cake walk at Olympia Theater

bic as being the date of the initial public

event. The managers have taken due pre-
cautions to make the affair pleasant to
both the white and colored races. Oniv
the most respectable element of colored
folks will be allowed to enroll their names
as participants in the walk, and generally,
1t will be special recognition of the i'm,
portance of the negro population of the
city The evening mentioned will be re-
membered for the novelty of the entertain
ment offered, as well as for the delight ex-

CITY COUNCIL.
A Brief session Held Yesterday Af-
termOOn.

"A bEAeA session HE'D Yesterday Af-
ternOOn.
An adjourned meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held yesterday afternoon, at which
the street railway controversy was again
brought up. The Olympia Light and
Power company wants to construct its
track from Fourth street to Chestnut street
on an up grade, but if this cannot be Sc
cured, then on a level. The present grade
on streets south of Fourth is a down one,
and the proposed Union Pacific grade along
the street is still lower than the Fourth
street grade at the intersection of Chest
nut. Owners of property along the line of
the electric railway oppose its construction
at the proposed height, and as a conse-
quence it places the city council in a deli
cate position. The company submitted a
proposition to the council to submit the
question as to what grade should be estab-
lshed, to arbitration, the arbitrators to de-
termlne what damages should be given to
abuttlng property owners. The council,
after viewing the streets in question, voted
down the proposition. The resolution re-
lating to street railway franchises was not
acted upon, IL having been deferred until
some future meeting,
