To the Editor Of the Press:
The Evening Express of April 10Th
says it is given out by good authority
that Mayor Ingraham does not propose
to appoint any police matron, but allow
the Office to become vacant and the
writer ad DIS to be sure, there is less need
of a Police matron in Portland thau in
larger cities. Why! have all the men in
Portland reformed? If not; there should
be no question as to the need Of a
matron. A few years ago woman ask
ed the privilege of going in and looking
prisoners or came there for lodging, the
official replied that there were not a
sufficient number of women to make it
an object, but at the close of four weeks
she had the names of IS women she had
cared for and on three months trial. The
same official acknowledged woman was
needed there. There were times when
he did not know, what he should have
done without her service in the earlier
days There was something to do.
doubt not but there is something to do
now. Only those who have served there
know how much woman is needed,
how much she can do for the fallen.
There are two classes of women who
enter, one class bad from choice, the
other what circumstances have made
them. They never had chance, never
had kind and encouraging words spoken
to them. That is one reason why they
should be looked after and taught there
is better way to live. There are many
other reasons why woman should be
employed at the police station, but they
will hardly bear the light of day. If
Now whatever Mayor Ingraham may
intend to do, may he be guided Alright u!
this matter so that in after years, he
may have no cause to regret that he
withheld the good he had the power to
do, but refused to do it, and may the
good men and women of Portland have
cause to have pleasant memories of him
because he hath been ON the side of
morality and right. L.

GREATEST TOWN ON EARTH.
This Designation Applies to Very Many
Northwestern Cities.

This Designation Applies to Very Many
Northwestern Cities.
Especial Correspondence
TACOMA, Wash, April 16.-One of the
things which strikes a stranger with
great force on his first visit to Puget
sound is the very decided and positive
way in which the inhabitants of each
town declare that their city is the largest
and best, is possessed not only of all the
natural advantages, but that they hold
monopoly of all the favors of Divine
Providence.
I The stranger is little mystifed and
bewildered at first and wonders how
nature and Providence came to be so
prodigal of gifts at this point. Very
soon, however, the story becomes an
old and oft repeated one, the only
change and variation being the name of
the town under discussion and the per-
son of the narrator.
Each town insists that it has the best
harbor, is the most advantageously stu
ated to shorten the land or sea distance
to some known or unknown part of the
world, that it lies under the softest
shadow of the Olympic range; that it
has the most gorgeous sunsets; that
from no other point can SO good view
OF the cascades be obtained; that it has
had the most phenomenal growth; that
it has done a larger banking business
and more shipping in month than any
other, and SO on ad infinitum.
When the people in one city are told
that their neighbors in sister city lay
claim to the same natural and acquired
advantages with perhaps few addi-
tional ones, they not only accuse their
nelghbors of lying, but declare that they
know they are lying, their neighbors in
turn, saying the same thing of them. It
makes one wonder if the people here are
not little like those of southern France,
OF whom Daudet said, tsThey feel an
honest necessity for lying Of which the
people living in temperate climates
know nothing" LAURA B. STARR.

the country they can't blame the presi-
dent for the evidences Of it's general
prosperity which he marshals.
The strength Of his conviction that
tho protective policy is the best for the
country made II certain that he would
say so. but the party which is coming
into power would rather have had him
stop there. His recommendation that
the whole subject Of tariff revision be
let to the incoming congress is char
actcristic Of the dircctness with which
Gen. Harrison always gives his views.
The arguments he advances are not rel
ished by his opponents. He forces
upon them the burning question Of an
extra session In u way that cannot be
lodged. Equally pointed is what the
president says about the state of the
public revenues and the misleading
statements that have been made regard.

ton Of the finances Is so clear that no
can miss its point.
II Is n proper time To recall, rs he
does, the loss in the revenue which has
resulted from the removal, by u rcpub-
lican congress, Of the tax upon i'm
ported sugars. This reminder be-
comes the more pertinent because
some Of he democratic leaders are adj
vocating n rcimposition Of the sugar
tax. What the president says about the

THE LOTTERY SURRENDER

Apparently Louisiana Is to be
relieved of the lottery which dis
graced it. We say apparently,
because Mr. Morris and his asso.
ciates are men of great resources,
and although they have announced,
through letter signed by Mr.
Morris, that they will not accept n
charter, it will be impossible to
declare the evil dead until it's
offices are closed and its sign is
taken down.
The result has been brought
about by the act of Congress that
closes the mails to the lottery. Mr..
Morris declares that he retires be
fore the opposition aroused against
his enterprise No intelligent per-
son will credit that. The men who
have corrupted State press and
State politics, who have raised
their bids for constitutional
amendment from 100000 to ST.
250,000 year, who have fought
ard contrived with persistence aud
cunning against the stormy pro-
tests of the whole country, have
yielded at last only to the stern
necessities OF the law
/ is to be hoped, for the sake Of
the whole country no less thnn of
Louisiana, that the lottery is really
dead. The great octopus of cor
ruption that grasped the money of
the needy and grew tat on the
spoil seized from those whom 1t
corrupted has already existed too
long. Its evil memory will live,
however, for many years to come;
it's wrecks are in every quarter of
the country; the ill-gotten wealth |
Of its owners will be its monument |
until il is fortunately dissipated.
