housewife. We have never
known quite so good offerings
to be made in Seattle on such
qualitiesas we have madespecial
this week. There has not been
any timidity in making these
reductions. They have been
made to insure the greatest
linen trade, in the week re-
corded during our history.
The evidences so far are that
this will be case.
| Every good housewife take notice that at the
Linen counters have a big and splendid
| list of special offerings that will enable you
| TO save many a dollar on the usual cost Of
| table linens.

Look into the third show
window for quick information
regarding many of the other
reductions.
AT the prices which prevail
in the Curtain stock this week
many people are saving much
money by purchasing their new
curtains now. The values are
even greater than those you
heard SO much about from Gus
toners last week.
And if you have a small
room that needs carpeting it
will probably pay you to bring
in the measurements and see
if you canno. find something
suitable among those odd
lengths. People who can find
what they need in the odd
lengths are saving big percent
ages on the regular prices Of
the carpets. Mind you, these
are not remnants, but simply
what remain Of rolls from
which several cuts have been
made, but leaving lengths
which are large enough for
small rooms.

A Fatal Blunder.

The action of the interior department
and the pension bureau in retracing its
steps with reference to suspended pen
sions may be sign of good sense or OF
cowardice. The latter construction
would be less likely placed upon it were
the desire of the secretary OF the interi-
or less palpably shown to cast the stain
of dishonesty on the operations Of the
pension system and to break down the
claims of perfectly upright and patriotic
men. The suspension Of the suspension
order, in whatever light looked at, is .
commendable proceeding. Ratings
wholly without warrant Of existing law
may have been general during the late
administration, yet it is quite as just to
assume the freedom of certain ratings
from the stain Of illegaiity orimproprie-
ty Of any kind as the contrary.
It's unfortunate from every point Of
view, that the new commissioners Of PEN
sions should find it. necessary to face
about in so short period after his I'M
stallation in Office His perfect recti-
tudc was not questioned. He was looked
upon IS tho man peculiarly fitted to re-
move any frauds that were being perpe-

A Singular Taste.

Recently Russian Jew came to this
city to peddle his wares consisting Of
knick-knacks. He expressed himself as
thoroughly disguised with this country
and would go back to Russia as soon as
he could earn enough money. He said
that when person came into house in
his native country he might make him
self at home and 60 and talk with the
young ladies, but similar tactics in Amer
lea would enlist the attention of an
irate papa, a gun and dog. At Fari-
bault, the peddler had lost some goods
and money. He suspected certain par
ties but he feared that if he should arrest
them and not be able to prove they were
guilty he would himself be hanged.
America appeared to him as very un-
civilized country compared with the land
of the car. 'Of course" said he, Gin
Russia can't say anything bad about the
car, but what good would it do me to
stay in the United States and say bad
things about the presidents" Evidently
he had not mingled with politicians much
while in this country. - Red Wing Re-

l
Hamilton Fish, great man, dies, and
sons Of the papers, down in one corner
next to pure advertising matter, give
him an obituary notice of perhaps a doz-
en- lines. Along about the same time,
Baby Ruth gets a sister-a very natural
thing since the creation of dawn-and
the papers go wild over the little tike.
They publish three columns of stuff
about its papa, its mamma, its cradle and
it's long dresses; they give pictures to
show what baby dress looks like and
they quote the father of the dear little
thing as inquiring of the doctor whether
it's q boy or girl. Several selections
from the old poets, from Chaucer down,
head the column articles and the father is
pictured as holding the little one in his
arms as fathers do. It all came about
in the good old way, to be sure, but
somehow the papers lose their heads and
print stuff enough to describe the advent
of the founder Of a new dispensation.
Why is 1t and what are we coming to?

trat KS, on the treasury, and quite as free
as any democrat could be from any par.
ty bias such as could warp his jud gment
be began by assuming too much and
giving his assumptions the wrong dirsc-
ton. While such a course might have
been warranted on the part Of hissuperii-
or in office, it was not looked for from
him; and the principal result thus far
has been to deoar him from that general
confidence in either his judgment or his
freedom from political bias such as could
have enabled him to have successfully
engaged in the work Of discovering and
Furnishing any frauds that may be in pro-
cess of preparation on the bureau.
MIR. Cleveland has not been especially
happy in the relation of his administra-
ton toward the veterans of the late war.
A man in the prime of life and without
single family care, who, in any period
OF the war found it more compatible
with his views to pay for substitute to
take his place in the ranks of the ma
tons defenders, might not be expected
to have any great sympathy with the
pensioners of Uncle Sam; yet man who
had given so many verbal assurances of
having consecrated himself to the SER
vice OF his beloved countrymen ought.
perhaps, to be given the credit of up-
right purposes in the course which he
and his subordinates have pursued in
this regard. 1t IS plain that any reform
OF the pension rolls which ought to be
made is not to come from this adminis-
tration. 1t stands at the present mo-
ment in doubtful attitude on that sub
ject, and there is very little reason to be-
lieve that it will be able to redeem itself.
There are evidently other directions in
which the present administration NAV
show off to betteradvantage by it's &C.
tivity in the future than in that of the
administration Of pensions.-St. Paul

According to It's Folly.

With show Of virtuous Indignation
just dissolving into tears ''The Philadel-
phia Evening Telegraph turns to the
wall it's copy of a picture in which The
Tribune recently showed the Democratic
Free-Trade Tiger crouchlng in readiness
to spring on Uncle Sans protected
sheepfold. 1.-The Telegraph sadly con-
fesses that the tiger is ferce-looking,
hungry and desperate, and that he makes
a striking and impressive pictures; but it
declares that we have done a cruel thing,
since ''the tariff is in no more danger to-
day than the law of gravitation;" that
no matter what theories and purposes
Mr.. Cleveland AMI other Democratic
leaders may have cherished, 1.-THE protec-
tive system is as safe from serious assault
to-day as though it were part of the Or
ganic law itself.''
In the performance of our duty to en-
tighten the ignorant and chasten the err.
ing we call the attention Of our Phila-
delphia contemporary to the following
sentences from President Cleveland smes-
sage to Congress in extra session:
1t was my purpose to summon Con-
gress in special session early in the COM
ing September, that we might enter
promptly upon the work of tariff reform,
which the true interests of the country
clearly demand, which SO large a MAORI
ty of'the people, as shown by their, stuff
RACES, desire and expect, and to the &C
complishment of which every effort of
the present Administration is pledged.
But while tariff reform has lost nothing
of its immediate and permanent impor-:
lance, and must in til, near future en-
gage the attention of Congress, it has
seemed to me that financial condition of
the country should at once and before
all other objects be considered by your
honorable body.
Does "The Telegraph" really think that
it is good manners, or in any respect adj
vantageous, for the sake of snarling at
The Tribune to call the President of the
United States either liar or an iguora-
mus, and to brand the party which 1.-THE
last election mustered a plurality of the
voters of the United States as pack of
hypocrites and confidence men? Our
contemporary imagines that it knows
what the founder OF The Tribune would
have said under the circumstances. Hap
PLY, there is no need Of accepting its
surmises on this point, for Mr.. Greeley

at the G. o;s stupidity Of the little block.

Government Ownership of Railroads.

The mere idea of adding 81, 100000.
900 to our national debt is enough to
blast such scheme in one sentence. Tie
amount alone is more than three times
our great national war debt at it's high
esttlgure' The other plan ofissuing bonds
for only two thirds of the amount and
silver certificates for the other third is
no better. The fiat money would have
to be redeemed some time, the same as
the bonds. The railroad business of this
country has become too vast u thing for
the government to buy up, even if there
were any reasonable probability that the
politicians could run it as we'll or as
cheaply as lis now being run.-Chica-

The cause of education in this state had
good reason to feel happy when the
antique form of Mr.. Kiehle ambled forth
from the office Of Superintendent of
instruction to shift for itself in other
quarters. Kiehle never had any business
to hold the position which he did. He
obtained it through political intrigue and
he has held to it te2aciously ever since
by sheer force of political jobbery. BY
reason of his seltishness he has welded 10
acts beneath his position and by his two
facedness has made himself stumbling
block IN the way of educational progress
in many quarters. Were it not for po-
litical influence and his subserv1encv
to an individual who is in position to
command, he would long ago have been
requested to shake the dust of his feet on
the capitol doorsteps. But like one Of
those unwelcome callers that Holmes
speaks of, we would like to have gotten
rid OF him but didn't know how.
