THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The scbol election which takes place
should ne be neglected by the voters be-
cause of tie more interesting canvass of a
political lature which is now so near its
close. lis best that our school elections
should b, kept entirely aloof from poll
tics, but Is not best that they should be
go overs allowed by politics that they
should bsforgotten in the hurly-burly.
The people of Seattle have always taken
q great and just pride in their public
schools. nd we believe that this pride is
iustifabL. Nothing should more strongly
interest tie people than the conduct Of the
public sclools. for upon our school sys-
tenn depends the future safety of the state.
The people of Seattle are fortunate in
having anumber of gentlemen OF unques-
toned integrity, business ability and judg-
ment wio are willing to act as school
directors for the coming term. Among
those whose names have been prominently
rnentiond in connection with the candi-
dacy for the two vacant positions are
Messrs. ]. b. MacDougall, J. A. Gould,
4. ". ihstie C. +. Munday and w. J.
Colkett, AMI DR.. Sarah Kendall. From
such lit the people cam OF fail 10 choose
directors who are able and worthy.
And i is safe to say that, however the
present riendly contest for these positions
msy terminate. the result will be such th st
the STANDARD Of excellence Of our public
schools vail be maintained.

IL Is doubtful If there was ever a bolt
made by the members of a great political
party with less cause and less justification
than that of the bolt from the Republican
ticket in Pierce county. IL is based alto
gether upon the hatred and jealousy which
snimates portion of the people OF one
city toward a neighboring city: and that
hatred and jealousy have been tomented to
Their present intensity by the persistent
and long-con,inued efforts of one man. TO
SHOW how extremely bitter is this feeling
towards those who represent the prosper
ity of the common wealth. we reproduce the
resolutions by which the Republican
county committee Of Pierce county under
took to forbid Republican speakers from
mentioning the name of the candidate of
their party for the office Of governor; aud
undertook to forbid it for no other reason
taan that they regarded him as a repre-
sentative of King county. The reSoiu-
lions are rs follows:

THE CANAL PLANK.

In order that Il may be fully understood
how far the enemies of King county went
TO strike blow at its interests, and how
gratuitious Was the manner in which the
Democratic state convention launched the
Lake Washington canal into politics, we
reproduce the planks ON the subject of
public Improvements in the platforms of
the two parties. Here il the Republican
plank:
Resolved, That w recognise the Importance to
cur people Of the improvement OF our rivers and
harbors. and that We especially commend as
worthy OF the attention OF congress, the Colnm-
bia river, the harbors Of the Pacific coast and OF
Puget sound, and ship canal connecting Puget
sound with Lake Washington: that We condemn
the action Of the Democratic house of repre-
scnisttves III refusing an appropriation for the
opening Of the Columbia river and the Lake
Washington ship canal. and that we most heart
lily approve the course OF Senators Allen and
squire ana Representative Wilson in their ad-
vocacy Of those measures: that we are heartily
In favor OF speedy opening 10 settlement OF the
fuyailup and other Indian reservations within
this state.
And here is the Democratic plank which
singles out the Lake Washington canal as
the only improvement ii all this state
worthy of condemnation, and by thus
singing II out makes it q political issue:
We strongly condemn the course of Senator.
Alien and squire In advocating appropriations
for the Lake Warrington ship canal. to tho ex-
cinsion OF needed appropriations for the neces-
sary Improvements OF our rivers and harbors

WHAT DEFEAT WOULD MEAN.

If there is any citizen OF Seattle who
publican state ticket ON next Tuesday
would mean the defeat of our efforts to
secure the building of the Lake Washing
ton canal, he must indeed be blind to the
situation. Some. of course, are willfuliy
blind, and these will vote against their
own interests and the interests of their
own city in spite of all that may be said
or done to convince them of their error.
There may be others, however, who are
not wiilfully blind, and every loyal citizen
of Seattle who knows of any such should
put forth earnest efforts to open their eyes
to the situation before next Tuesday morn
ing.
Sometimes an unthinking person will
ask what difference 1t makes, so far as the
canal is concerned, whether the Repub-
lican or the Democratic state ticket 10
elected. The answer Is apparent. First
of all, il means the election of two MEM
bers Of congress who are pledged by their
platform to support the canal or two
members of congress who are pledged by
their platform to oppose it. In the Sec
ond place, and this is really the more inn
portant, it means that the entire nation
will look upon the result as indicative OF
the wishes Of the people of the state on
the subject. No senator and no repre-
sentative would, or could, labor for gov
eminent appropriation for this great work
in face of the general belief that the
people of the state had deliberately
repudiated it at the polls. The Democratic
party, in the hope of winning votes in
other parts of the state at the expense OF
King county. deliberately made this issue.
If the ticket which was nominated by that
party is successful every enemy of King
county will claim that the vote by which
it was successful is a condemnation of the
canal, and he will claim it with good
reason.
Any citizen of King county who blinds
himself to these facts is closing his eyes
to his best interests. 1t is folly to hope
for a government appropriation for this
work unless the Republican state ticket is
successful. This fact may as we'll be con-
sidered before as after election. The peo-
pie of King county practically have the
fate of this WORK in their own hands.

ley bill makes protection equal for pro-
ducers and manufactures, while the Mills
bill, voiced by Grover Cleveland, wants
protection for the manufacturer alone, and
this would surely cosvert the producers
of the West and Sout5, into free traders.
The East is sharp enough to see, unless 1t
wants full tree trade, it cannot afford to
accept the free raw materials and one
sided protection Offered by the Mills bill.
