JoERGENsEN AND THE SCHOOLS.
Abe Populist Leader Would Destroy the
Cornerstone OF the Republic.

SEATTLE, Oct. ., 1894
To THE EDITOR: am not aware of hav-
ing made any attack upon Rev. Joereen-
sen. Populist candidate for the legislature
from Snohomish county, as alleged by o.
II. Sather in the PosT-isrELLIGENcER of
October L 1 stated what l knew to be
facts. and which Mr.. Joergensen himself
will not deny. From the time Mr.. Joer-
gensen came to Washington about fifteen
years ago. for several years we lived within
100 yards of each other, and / believe that
had and still have Mr. Joergensen's con-
fidence and am as able TO judge of his
qualification for a member of the legis-
laturc as Mr.. Sather possibly can be. /
will admit that my judgment is based
upon my political faith. / believe that
American institutions are best for Amer
leans. l also admit that Mr.. Joergensen
is capable and has q perfect right to teach
his own children. 1t is possible that Mr..
Joergensen may have said and may now
think that the United States constitution
is the ideal among civilized nations. and
may so have told Mr.. Sather, but the fact
stands. and Mr.. Sather admits it, that Mr..
Joergensen's children have not attended
public school. and it follows as a natural
conclusion that either the school or the
children who attend are Objectionable to
Mr. Joergensen.
/ do not wish to repeat what Mr.. Joer-
gensen has said to me upon the subject.
Ii might be made question OF veracity,
and should thus, IN self defense, have to
furnish proof and place my old-time friend
in position as disagreeable to him as to
myself. o. b. IyKssoN.

NORTH YAKIMA. Oct s-The FIRST Of the
three days of barbecuing, racing and In
dian dances with which the hop picking
season closes attracted 5000 people TO the
state iair grounds today. Ii Is estimated
that there we're 5000 Indians present. rep
resenting all OF the agencies of the North
west. Many OF the red men were en-
camped on the grounds, and with their
tepees. bands of ponies and many-coiored
blankets and traSpings. presented pic
turesque sight. Many head of beeves and
sheep and thousands OF loaves of bread
disappeared at the barbecue In an amazing
manner, and nothing but bones were left
to record the wonderful appetites of the
Indians. The races were interesting,
especially the squaw race. which was hotly
contested and<eceived with cheers, shouts
and whoops d the various contestants
forged ahead. The war dance was partici-
pated in by nearly 200 of the Yakima
tribe. directed by Rev. Thomas Pearls, an
educated Indian, and for about an hour
the bucks and squaws, with their songs,
gestures and peculiar movements, held
the audience speilbound. On Thursday
and Friday the UmatiIlss, Nez Perces and
Colvilies will go through their various
dances. Dozens of blankets. saddles and
brides were awarded to the Indians sue
cessful in the races, and handfuls of silver
coin were thrown to the dancers at the
termination OF their exercises.

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

The eloquent Rabbi 3. n. Sonneschein,
who was obliged to leave st. Louis on ac-
count of the scandal connected with his
divorce suit against his wife. has resigned
his San Francisco pastorate. He was too
radical to suit his congregation.
William Balm, superintendent of the
Millers' Grain and Elevator Company, St.
Louis, committed suicide Tuesday by
shooting himself through the head in the
warehouse of the mill. He was So years
old and married. No cause is assigned for
the deed.
The Mound City's patron saint, the
Yelled Prophet. made his annual appear
ance at ST. Louis Tuesday night before a
throng of nearly half a million home aud
visiting sight-seers. Asusual he entered
the city accompanied by . magnificent
pageant and a royal court.
Prof. Viucenso Batto, a wealthy linguist
and one of the vice presidents of the Union
League Club, New York. was severely in
jured Tuesday by falling from the third
story window of his house. Four ribs and
the right arm were fractured. The fact
that the professor is Y years old makes his
recovery very doubtfu.

pressing regret that on account of the
pressure of public business he could not
attend. Disagreeable weather prevented
the parade of the marines from the Monte

letter was received from him from

Hon Chauncey Black, Dear Sir: l
have carefully read the communica-
ton you lately placed in my hands
setting forth the purpose and present
needs Of the National Association Of
Democratic Clubs. The achievements
of this organization should be familiar
to all who are interested in the con
tinuation Of Democratic supremacy
and should enlist the encouragement
of those who appreciate the impor-
tance Of any effective dissemination of
political doctrine. Your association
has done much by way Of educating
our people touching the particular
subjects which are recognized as be-
longing to the Democratic faith; but
1T seems to me its best service has
been the enforcement and demonstra-
ton of the truth that our party is best
organized and more powerful when it
strives for principles instead of spoils
ana that it quickly responds to the
stimulus supplied by enlistment in
the peoples cause
This acknowledgement of true De
mocracy suggests that the National
Association of Democratic Clubs. and
every other Democratic organization.

power and responsibility from the deg
radiation and disgrace of failure TO re.

No Sorrow in The Wilson Bill.

The most encouraging statement
made since last spring Of the country's
pig IRON furnaces is the one just pub
lished by the Iron Age.
Six months ago only III furnaces
were in blast and their combined ca
pacity was only 1885 tons a week.
There has been a steady increase
since then both in the number of fur
naces and their output On the first
of this month the number operated
was IA and they were turning out
IRON at the rate Of 1876, 1872 tons every
week. Since the first of February the
weekly production has increased FL
400 tons, being at the rate of 400.
900 a year.
And there has been not only an in
crease in production, but also de
crease in stock on hand, showing a
demand for all and more pig iron
thar is being manufactured.
This improvement in the iron in.
.dustry means corresponding i'm
proyement in the business of buyers
an increased traffic for the railroads
the consumption of more coke, Goa
and other material used in the produc
ton of non, and, what is more signii
cant still. the employment of many
thousand idle men.
