The Democratic Convention.

General Grant once said that the
democrats could always be depended
on to do the wrong thing at the right
time. The work of the Yakima con-
vention is another notification of the
great mans statement. 1t was a fight
from start to finish for supremacy
between the federal office holders and
the neglected laymen. incidentally
King and Pierce counties engaged in
a bitter controversy but with Hugh
Wallace to crack the federal lash fol-
Pierce county King county found
herself decidedly not ia it. It is
claimed that King was being punish
ed for voting so hard again st ySnively
two years ago.
The result of this terrific pow-woN
is that there is much disco rdant feel
ing in the party, and anything but {
strong ticket. It was impossible t.
find any one who would accept thu
nomination for congress from tn
eastside, several gentleman declinin:

WHEAT in Dayton is worth % cents

THE Puyallup Indian commission
began last Monday to appraise the lots

farm. The track to be sold is located
adjoining Tacoma and comprises over
600 acres. The new addition to the
city of Tacoma
PROSPERITY comes from trade, and
trade is both buying and selling.
There cannot be one without the
other. If man sells corn and buys
gold dollars, they are worthless except
he spends or lends them, and that
means buying and selling again. The
highest prosperity is when men are
busiest at what they can do best and
are exchanging products with other
men who are doing likewise.-Ex.
"P.-I. DAY" at the Tacoma Fair was
a big occasion, with the largest at
tendance so far, over $4,000 people, a
loig majority of whom were children
from all parts of the state to whom
free transportation was given, and re-
duced rates to elders The program
was splendid throughout and fine
pyrotechnic display concluded the day
The Post-Intelligencer is given grand
praise for its kindly efforts in afford
ing everybody, especially the young
sters, the opportunity of visiting the
Interstate Fair, and giving the state a
good advertisement
THE Northern Pacific car shops at
Edison have been fully reopened, near
ly or quite 300 men being employed
there now. During the past few days
several dozen men have ben added to

creased In size since work w.
resumed early in the me nth

break the new men in gradually as a
large number of the old en- ployees left

Tame.Spirited Americans.

No doubt every boy who has the
spirit OF liberty in him has said to
himself, on reading the story OF
Callgula or of Nero, "What fools the
Romans were to put up with the cruel
ties and follies of their emperors
Why didn't they rise in rebellion and
turn out such monsters?"
Truly they did display an astenish-
ing amount of patience.
But If any of the boys who grow
sarcastic over the meekness of the
OLD Romans live in one of our largest
cities, let them ask their fathers what
kind of men fill the city offices.
Who are the alderman T;oror
dealers, perhaps; or prize-fighters or
gamblers or loafers.
The heads of departments are select
ed from the ward and district bosses
whose only trade is politics, and who
never earn anything unless it is bv
cheating at elections-and that is
paid for by the CITY.
Why do not the people turn them
out! Because they are the slaves Of
party, as much as the Romans ware
the slaves of Nero. Their rulers do
not murder them, nor command them
20 commit suicide, as the emperor.
dld; but they rob their subjects OMEN
ly.
Yet there is not spirit enough in
'ne American people to tear off the
party letters and unite to form a nnra-
~ municipal party, independent of
national politics, to put good men in
once and keep them there.
Until they can do that let them
not sheer at the chicken-heartednes. of

Those Indian Liens.

The defense made in behalf of Mr..
McPhail will not bear critical exami-
nation, and its weakness is not eked
out by the abusive tone adopted.
1t is common knowledge that log
gers liens are preferred, and it cannot
be presumed that I am ignorant of
that fact, yet the defence would have
it appear that with two valid liens for
just and honest debts, due for labor by
these Indians, I calmly allowed their
claims to be subordinated to the claim
made by Mr.. McPhail for supplies"
furnished. If that statement were
true it is evident that I must have
colluded with Mr.. McPhail to disre-
gard the rights of these men in his
interest. But that that statement is
not true appears from the fact that
the very day learned from Mr.. Wyatt
that Mr.. McPhail had received money
on these logs I applied for the pay
ment of these liens, and when refus-
ed with the explanations that Jack
Forbes had said that he didn't owe
these men anything. commune ated
then for the first time, and with much
of the stuff mentioned in Mr.. Rilev's
letter, l got angry under the convic-
ton that had been tricked into al
lowing the liens to expire, and telling
Mr.. McPhail that ~ had thought his
word as good as his note" left him,
and have not spoken to him since. If
1 had known that he claimed the pre-
ferred right to the money from the
beginning why should I have got
angry at that time. If l had known
before that he was disputing the JUS
tice of the claims, why had I not en-
tered suit to foreclose and establish
the liens?
In that case, being contested suits
I would have been allowed reasonable
counsel fees for my services, and it
was directly nay pecuniary interest to
bring on the suits at once, as for the
collection without suit + would have
charged the Indians but little OF
nothing. Assuredly without collusi on
being present, and I think that that
is fairly eliminated, the facts of the
case are consistent only with the
truth of my statements. [ may men
ton that Mn Wyatt, one of the lien
ors in the case, verifies the correct
ness of my statements.
At the time l stated the occurrence
to Mr.. Sigh, and short time after tc
Messrs. Eaton, Alden, Rodenbergel
and others, and wrote to the same Of
feet in answer to letter of inquiry
sent me by Rev. Myron Eells on be
half of the Indians. I might furthe
point out that without what deem
ed just cause, would not have antago
nized a man then so influential with
the class from which most of m,
business came, and thus run the risk
of inviting his SANDER, which he i'm
mediately proceeded to do.
The consideration of the article il
the last weeks Tribune must be de
ferred until next issue, owing to rea
sons which will be self explanatory
when also a few more thoughts ma,
be expressed on the present subjec
matter.

Interstate Fair Letter.
TACOMA, Oct. 2, 1894

TACOMA, Oct. 2, 1894
! The G. A. r. celebration at the
Interstate fair began yesterday and
will last until Thursday night. To-
night the veterans took part in a
sham battle representing the storming
of Missionary Ridge. They defended
Cvclorama Terrace while the local
militia companies attacked and were
driven back. Another feature OF
tonight's celebration was a magnif-
cent display of fire works.
Tomorrow night the G. A. r. visi-
tors will participate in large camp
fire and bean bake on the fair grounds,
conducted under the auspices of the
local posts of the order.
Military days at the fair were yes
day and today. The officers of the
entire national guard of the state
were gathered here to participate in
the election of adjutant general and
brigadier general last night, and also
to take part in the celebration. From
Seattle and other surrounding towns
came several whole companies of mil
itia to assist in making the day not
able one. There was a parade yester-
day that was one of the finest from a
military standpoint ever seen in the
northwest. Nine companies of Infan-
try and two troops of Cavalry partici-
pated.
For Post-Intelligencer day there
was a monster celebration. The news
paper gave free tickets of admission to
the school children of Seattle, Taco
ma, Everett, Snohomish, Olympia,
Port Townsend, Victoria and other
cities in the vicinity and sent the
youngsters in by the thousand. The
Pr. did not stop at furnishing free
admission but also furnished free
transportation to the children from
the outside towns. In the afternoon
there was special band concert by
Cassasa's band and a vocal concert
by Seattle school children. A Nav
Pole dance during the afternoon was
another feature. Then there was .
pie eating contest between small
boys and in the evening there was 6
wedding On the band stand in the
presence of thousands of spectators
The bride was Miss Brooke of Seattle
and the groom James Ingram, o.
Tacoma. The celebration concluded
with an immense display of firework,
On the grounds.
The Germans are making great pre-
parations for their day-Sunday, Oct
Z. The promise is that not less thar
10000 Germans will gather on thai
day. They say they will have tn,
greatest procession ever seen in tn,
northwest; for this occasion six band
of music have already been engaged
There will be speech making by pro
minent Germans, singing by choruse
of Germans and athletic exercises b,
German societies.
The playing of Cassasa's great Cali
fornia Exposition band is becomin,
more populaa every day. Last Frida,
evening there was given q Wagne
concert by the band and OH Monda,
evening last the band rendered for tn
first time in the northwest selection
from Verdi's latest musical sensation
"Falstaff."
Several new amusement enterprise
have been opened on the grounds
among them a Wonderland show an,
another Ferris wheel about 100 fee
in diameter. Both are attractin,
much attention.
y. M. l. day at the fair has been &c
