ABOUT LIES.

The Seattle correspondent of the Ta-
coma Ledger is developing qualities which
will doubtless render him peculiarly valu-
able to that journal. He has apparently
completely grasped the idea Of journalism
which prevails in the Ledger Office. His
daily letters from Seattle contain more
bare-faced lies than can ordinarily be put
together in a single day, even by an expert
in the art of lying.
The Ledger, by the way, seems to have
constituted itself the organ OF the gam
biers of Seattle, and its Seattle letter of
September 20 is devoted almost entirely
to gambling and gamblers. In this. as
might be expected, the correspondent
gives currency to even more lies than
usual.
The utter absurdity of these robs them
OF any power for harm. but it may be we'll,
if only for curiosity's sake, to call atten-
ton to few of them. After half a COL
umn of alleged history, all of which is abb
solutely untrue, the correspondent reaches
the present campaign and deals with it in
the following fashion:
The Republican county committee, a few
weeks ago, received word from a boss among
the gamblers that it could be, ana would be,
assisted in the sum of $500 per week during the
remainder OF the campaign, to be contributed
by the owners OF the gambling houses, if the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES could be siienced.
This is a lie, pure and simple. No such
proposition was made 10 the Republican
county committee. or any other Repub-
-
ing that no such proposition would be
considered for an instant, and it may be
stated incidentally that no committee has,
or ever pretended to have, the power of
''silencing the PosT-INTELLIGENcER"
The correspondent continues: "This
proposition was referred to McGraw."
This, of course, is lie. No such prop
osition was submitted to Mr.. McGraw,
because no such proposition was made.
and if such proposition had been made
1t is certain that no Republican committee
would give it sufficient consideration to
refer it to Mr.. McGraw or anybody else.
The correspondent continues that the
matter was referred TO the managing edi-
tor Of the Posr-lyTELLIGENcER, who de-
clined to accede to the request of Mr.. Nc
Graw or the committee. This, of course,
is equally a lie with those which have gone
before. 1t goes without saying that no
such request was ever referred to the man.
aging editor of the Posr-INTELLIeENcER by
anybody.
The correspondent continues at some
length in the same strain. OF course
every statement which he makes is a lie be-
cause all depend upon the original lie to
the effect that such a proposition as that
alleged was made to the committee. It's
not necessary to pursue the network of
lying further.
Either the correspondent Of the Ledger
is very great liar himself. which the
PosT-INrELIIsKNcER would be 10th TO be-
lieve, or he has fallen in with some very
great liars who presume upon his slight
acquaintance with men and things in Sc
attic. and induce him TO send his lies to
the Ledger in the shape of correspondence.

Ortiug Oracle.

The fight that's being made against the Lake
Washington canal proceeds from IA unworthy
and short-sighted source. The plea that an ap-
preparation for that purpose would curtail gov
eminent assistance for other objects in the state
is not borne out by the history and experience
of other states. The appropriations literally
poured into the Columbia river-something like
$500. 000-have not prevented liberal appropria-
tons for other streams and harbors in Oregon
and along its coast In fact, the contrary is
true, for since the work of improving the Co
lumbia has been vigorously undertaken the
amounts voted to the improvement of the
Willamette, the Rogue river and other streams
in Oregon have been materially in
creased. Opposition to the canal il practically
opposition to other needed government improve
mentA The building OF the canal will be q
direct assistance to the farming community of
Pierce county as well al the people OF King.
In general and beneficial manner the work
will exert q beneficial influence and effect upon
the entire Sound country and be OF value to
every shipping point and harbor IT Tacoma or
Gray's Harbor, or Everett or 6nohomish re-
Quired government aid for the opening of chan
nels or the building of canals whose effect would

whole state, King county and the entire COM

in one road district about Orting should ask aid

be foolish for the community in another
direction to oppose it, because its more
immediate effect would be felt in the first named
district. The half of one section of country as
sis;s and increases the values in all other parts
of the country. 1t would be impossible to build
the Lake Washington canal without aiding
every other point in Western Washington by
enlarging market for the products Of the agri-
culturist, and by cheapening the cost Of grain
shipments, assist the farmer east OF the noun
tains. The Republican party should put aside
local feelings and make the issue one of broad
principles. Because one section foolishly
imagines that government appropriations for
necessary public improvement will incidentally
help another, offers no excuse for opposition to
the Republican ticket, whose platform and
avowed principles advocate aid for all improve
ments in the state by the government
