A SHELTER FOR SEATTLE.
Enterprise in Which W. H. Reming-
ton is Interested.

! Seattle has been selected as the site
/ of the smelter, says the Seattle Post
1 lnteliigencer, to be erected by the Oc-
l cidental Smelling and Refining COM
pany. on certain conditions, which the
! committee of business men having the
matter in charge expresses no doubt of
being able to fulfill. The arrangement
was concluded last evening at a con-
ference between w. H. Remington of
! Portland, representing the smelling
company. and Hon. Thomas Burke
and Hon. john Leary. representing the
city. With promptnesS in complying
! with the conditions, such as character
ICES the people of Seattle when they
have an opportunity TO secure the es-
tablishment of an industry which will
rebound TO their own advantage, it is
probable that the plant will be fom-
pleted. ready for operation. 1t ~ be
no small plant either, for il will De the
largest on the North Pacific coast, and
unlike others, will have refinery at
tached.
The local committee has offered the
company the choice of three sites on
the water front, all of which win have
connection with the three main lines of
railroad entering the city. The citi-
zens of Seattle will also be asked to
subscribe for sriall proportion of the
company's stock-and smelter stock
never goes begging. They will net be
called upon to pay for it until the
plant is complete, ready for operation,
and has been approved by a committee
of stockholders as according TO con-
tract. II is also provided that the
plant is to be completed within nine
months after the subscriptions are
placed in escrow, although it is likely
TO be completed in six months from
that date.
The company has $1,000 capital
stock and was organized by a syndi-
cate of strong men. amply able to con-
struct and successfully operate a plant
of such dimensions.
The smelling plant will be what is
known as 400-ton plant. and with feed

than in any other. Every bottle of

AFFAIR QUESTION.

The New York municipal contest pre-
sents a feature that is worth the seri-
Gus consideration of those Democrats
in this state who upbraided the G b e
last year for its refusal to submit to
the commands of the regular organiza-
ing only the party interests within the
limits of the greater city. The regular
party organization is that controlled
by one Richard Croker, under the name
Of Tammany. 1t is the only one en-
titled to a place on the official ballot
without nominating by certificates 1t
met regularly in city convention and
nominated it's ticket.
There were other Democrats who
thought Tammany was not true to the
faith of the party. They have had the
temerity to hold conventions and put
an opposition candidate in the field.
Mr.. George, their nominee, insists that
he is Democrat and that the others
are not That is he bolts the regular
honestly believes 1t is not Democratic
We are inclined to agree with MIR.
George, but that does not affect the
question we put to those who, last year,
accused the G l o b of perfidy and de-
sertion because it took precisely the
ground Mr.. George now takes, eXer-
cising the individual right of judgment.
precious to every Democrat, of what
is and what is not fundamentally Dem
ocratic. We ask them-and we do it
knowing that they all approve Mr.
Georges position-should not he and
his followers have submitted their
judgment to the regular organization?
And, if not, why not?

LOWELL AND WILLIS.

1t was not Lowells fault that he ut
tered great and inspiring thoughts that
might be quoted in support of ends to
which he would give no approval, for
that is one of the unavoidable conse-
quences of having and uttering great
thoughts. He is not to be blamed
therefore if Mr. John w. Willis takes
from his present Crisis" that noble
appeal for loyalty to the right and ap-
pends it to an appeal to Democrats to
adhere to a cause whose spirit Lowell
clearly perceived, and whose ends he
opposed. He was minister to Spain in
1878 when the Bland free coinage act
was compromised with instead of be-
ing killed, and the Allison silver-pur-
chase bill was substituted, and in
letter to George Putnam, he wrote:
Communism seems to have migrated
to your side of the water just now. But
I confess I feel no great alarm; for
if history has taught us any other
lesson than that nobody ever profits by
it's teachings, it is that property is al
ways too much for communism in the
long run Even despite the silver bill.
1 continue to think pretty well of my
country God be praised"
Two years prior, when Nevada Jones
had joined Bland, Lowell sent Howells
the following epigram, showing that
he, at least, was not unaware of the
handspring that gave momentum to
the movement:
Zones owns silver mine" Pray who is
Jones?
Don't vex my ears with horrors like Jones
owns.
''Why, Jones is a senator, and so he strives
To make US buy his ingots all our lives
At stiff premium on the market price;
A silver currency would be so nice.
What's Jones' plan? "a coinage to be sure,
To rise and fall with Wall streets tempera-
ture.
You wish to treat the crowd: Your dollar
Untold percentums while they mix their
drinks
Jones' mines quicksilver then? "Your wit
won't pass:
His coins mercurial, but his mine is brass.
Jones owns"-Again! Your iteration's worse
Than the slow torture of an echo-verse.
I'll tell you one thing Jones won't own; that
is
That the cat hid beneath the meal is his.
