A Sensible View Of the Situation.

The fsirest way to conduct a polit-
iCsl fight is to do equal and exact JUS
tice to your opponents, or those who
may not be your first choice for Office.
1t does neither the party nor the indi-
Vidual any good to excoriate either
q candidate or his friends who may
not be exactly to your liking. The
following from the MarysVille AdoocGte
Is q sensible view of the situation.
That paper expresses its preference
without detrscting from the name or
standing of others. 1t says;
"Many Of our best voters of the Re-
publican party have predicted that If
the Populists nominate w. A. Harris
and the Republicans E. N. Morrill,
that Mr.. Harris will be elected easily.
We know that Mr.. Harris Is q good
man and can be elected If nominated,
but do not think that he is any bet.

with Senator King and know there is
no Bbler and better man for Governor
than he. We believe that Mr.. Harris
Is better known over the State and
stands the best show for getting the
nomination, and if he does get it, It
viii be a pleasure to support him
through the campaign and admins.

Mr.. King. Yet we are for King first"

ADJUSTMENTS.


A large audience filled the parquette Of
the Seattle theater 10 listen TO the first OF
the course OF lectures TO be given by Mr..
Charles w. Seymour. and testified TO their
appreciation Of the speakers gifted elo-
quencs and powerful delineation Of the ad-
venturous career OF Francisco Pizarro. the
Spanish conqueror OF Peru. by their close
attention and liberal applause. Consider
ing the fact that this was the last night
OF the political campaign, II would natur-
ally initiate against the attendance on any
entertainment Mr. Seymour certainly
should feel complimenied at the size and
quality OF his audience OF last evening.
The speaker gave a vivid description OF
the condition Of the nation which covered
that part OF the continent OF South Amer
ica now known as Peru. Ecuador, Bolivia
and Chile at the beginning OF the sixteenth
century. and its rise from a pitiable state
OF barbarism 10 q high state OF eniighten-
ment and power. Then taking up the story
Of Pizarros life while poor lieutenant in
the service Of the king OF Spain. he gave
graphic account OF his connection with
Balboa and his part IN the discovery OF the
Pacific. He described the particulars OF
the strange partnership entered into by Pr
zarro. Almagro and De Luque, the purpose
of which was to discover the land Of gold
which had been described in Pizarro's hear
ing on one OF his early expeditions. He
narrated the story or the SunerlngS OF RI
zsrro and his retainers during the years
they vainly sought the longed-for treasure.
lie drew a llfe-like picture of the final
discovery of the lard OF the Inca, the
march across the country and the seizure
OF the person of Atahualpa, the Inca, or
sovereign ruler OF the twelve millions OF
people. Then followed the strange story
Of his attempted ransom, of Pizarro's
treachery in putting TO death his captive
after receiving the ransom. He described
the wars which followed. the quarreis OF
the partners. the final triumph OF Pizarro
and the death of his co-partners.
Then came picturesque narration of tho
discovery OF the Amazon. including a de-
scriptlon OF the wonderful tropical forests
OF the equatorial regions. A dramatic ac-
count of the death of Pizarro and 20
etical description of the faint placed by
the Inca's curse upon the treasure stolen
from himself and people brought the lee
ture 10 close.
The great success of this first lecture
OF the course should insure crowded
house for all the others. and there Is 10
doubt that the interest in these lectures
must steadily increase. when their ex-
cellence is determined by the quality and
standard OF the one Just delivered. The
next lecture OF the course viii be on
Charles the Bold, Duke Of Burgundy on
Monday evening, March 2.
