A Bishops Clever Solution of n Fishin

A Bishops Clever Solution of n Fishing
Party's Dilemma.
Some years ago a number of gentle
men visited the mountains of Colorado
for the purpose of fishing. Among the
party was u bishop of an eastern do
cese of the Episcopal church, Fishing
was the sole occupation and amusement
OF the visitors; SO when Sunday came,
as there las nothing else to do, the
laymen of the party got ont their rods,
preparatory to casting a line, But
they were in a quandary as to the bishop.
They did not want to hurt his feelings
by leaving him behind, nor did they
want to offend his religious principles
by inviting him to go fishing on Sun
day. Finally II of them plucked up
courage and told him of their dilemma,
whereupon the good man said that he
would tell them of a happening in his
earlier life which he thought rather
apropos.
Some years ago." he said, "when l
had charge Of the affairs of a parish, !
was awakened about two o'clock one
morning, and upon inquiring who was
there, heard a mans voice reply that
he was there with Miss Blank, and that
they wanted to get married. reasoned
with him about the untimely hour, but
to no avail; he meant to get married
right then and there. SO | put on my
clothes and gown, and went down
stairs and began the marriage service.
Everything went along as dictated in
the service till | asked the man: Wilt
thou take this woman to be thy welded
wife? to which he replied: What m

1t is difficult to understand how any
consistent and seIf-respecting Democrat
can vote for the candidates of Harry
White for sheriff and clerk.
]. III. Wooiery has been for the past six
teen years to all outward appearances an
active. aggressive Republican. During
that time he has been almost continuously
an ofiiceholder. He has been twice elected
sheriff by the Republican party. and dur
ing his incumbency OF that Office he has
amassed a fortune.
Suddenly and without any apparent
reason he experiences q change of heart
aud accepts a place on the Democratic
ticket and asks for the sutfrages Of the
Democratic voters of King county. There
Is only one explanation of his conduct.
and that il that his lust for Office is 80

TO draw a salary from the county for two

The Democratic party must indeed be
hard pressed when IL Is willing to welcome
TO its ranks man who is willing to make
such sacrifice of party and principles TO
mere personal gain.
1t is notorious that the candidate for
county clerk who offers himself for tho
SURFACES of the democratic party il the
creature and protexe of Harry White. II
the candidacy OF John Wallace would only
ensure the perpetual departure OF Harry
White from the Republican party 1t would
not be an unmixed evil. Unfortunately,
however. Harry White. like Woolery. is
out for the spoils and has little regard for
principles. lie viii probably act with the
Democrats only so long as there Is pros
rect of personal gain 10 himself.
Taking everything into consideration.
the Democrats of King county are entitled
to sympathy for the new friends that they
have made. 1t is hardly credible, how
ever. that the self-respeciing Democrats of
King county--and there are many OF them
will appreciate their good fortune to the
extent of supporting. for two of the most
important offices in the county. such men
as Wooiery aud Wallace.
