AMERICAN CLOTHES FOR HIM
Inauguration Suit of Mr.. Mckinley
HIS Been Ordered,

Cincinnati, Dec. 27.-The Commercial
Tribune says:
The inaugural suit that Major Mckinley
will wear March next will be American
clear through. The cloth was woven es-
pecially for the occasion by the Hook
anum Manufacturing Company of New
York and will be a single weaving. 1t
will be American grown wool and no more
will be woven than will suffice to make
the suit. When woven, the cloth will be
sent to the majors tailor, Koevel of
Cleveland, and by him the suit will be cut
and made. This is authoritative and puts
an end to all controversy on this subject

SPECIAL EDITION A SUCCESS.

The special Klondike edition OF the
Post-IntslIigencer Is an achievement Of
genuine and permanent value TO the
city Of Seattle. 1t will serve, more than
any other agency, to cement the rela-
tions of this city to the gold fields OF
the north, and 10 establish an identity
OF interest between Seattle and Klon-
dixie that will remain fixed in the pub
lie mind. Il Is moderate, careful, al
tractive and convincing presentation
OF the superior merits of this city over
all others as an Quitting point for the
Yukon. and its broadcast circulation
throughout the entire United States
gives abundant guaranty that all the
facts will be known.

Seattle Points the WAY.


1aIAAOth, conn., Times.
1t is pity that we could not have had
an American commission appointed a wear
ago 10 prepare a well-balanced scheme of
representation which would have enabled
this country TO put its best foot fore

this kind was done. So far as any prepa-

are confined to individuals or to corpora

A REBuKE TO A SENATOR.

can senator from Maryland. is dis

party. He is an experienced politician
who has had things so much his way
In the wards and ia the precincts that
be concluded ne would be all pow

ed In this belief By the semi-oficial
announcement by President Mckinley

that neither character nor fitness was

senator.
II that had been the intention OF
President Mckinley the country would
have suffered a severe disappointment
Il was tired Of mugwumpery and of the
hypocrisy OF n civil service system
which kept In all who were desired
and kept out those who were
not wanted. but Il had no
wish to return to that system
which grew up gradually under Repub-
lcan prosperity and the arrogance Of
political leaders. and which eliminated
in star route scandals and the injection
90 unworthy but shrewd politicians
lnto Office To become a burden upon the
lpople and the haue az the
party. Fortunately Mr.. Mckinley
proved to Re not that Kind Of
man. lie wanted political harmony.

LET LoFTy STAY.

The case of the HogansTille postmas-
ter has attracted national attention,
and the Mckinley administration is not
likely soon 70 hear the last of it. Over
the protest of the white residents Of
Hogansviile, Ga, the president appoint
ed I. Il Loffin, colored man and a
Republican. As postmaster. The nom
nation stirred the race prejudice OF the
Hogansville community 70 the pro-
foundest depths. The Southern col
onels and their cracker dependents
wanted no niger presiding over their
postoffsee. No, sub. II was an insult,
sub, to expect their wives and daugh-
ters, 20 say nothing OF gentlemen of
their refined sensibilities, 10 ask for
their letters from a common niger,
sub. They wanted 10 remove the Of
fensive obstacle, sub, and show Presi
dent Mckinley, sub. that he could not
with impunity disregard public opinion
and the rare old chivalry OF Hogans-
vile. sub.
SO Kuklux methods were revived and
a plot conceived TO kill the obnoxious
Federal appointee. Loftin escaped with
his life, but he was wounded Ii was
widely reported that he was to be trans
ferred To Washington and given a
clerkship. But this seems to be an er-
ror, and he still holds the fort
The wisdom of the appointment Of
Loftin may be questioned; but 1t is
not TO be questioned that the United
States government cannot yield to the
spirit of lawlessness prevalent at Ho-
gansville as a consequence of the col
ored mans selection as postmaster
Loftin represents the power and dig
nifty OF the United States. He is en-
titled to the support of President Nc
kinley and all the president represents,
and an attack upon him is an attack
upon the government. III the citizens
of Hogansville have been outraged by
the nomination, they have their redress
through the proper and usual channels.
The right of petition for the postmas-
ter's removal has not been denied them.
They are not justified in assuming that
1t would not be properly considered.
AS a penalty for their display of vio-
lence, and as a manifestation of the
governments policy toward any of its
officers who do their duty, it is to be
hoped that 1t will persist In its purpose
to keep the colored postmaster in his
place. II can afford to do nothing else.

juneau merchants have adopted uni
form standards OF quality and weight
IL is the most foolish economy to take
advantage OF the ignorant prospectoTs
by pslming of upon them inferior arti-
oies or insufficient weight. II firm ever
gets a bad name in a mining camp II
may as well give up ali hope OF sec
ond order. Mr.. Eadeau's suggestions
are NOT strictly on that line. because he
is a gentleman OF trusting disposition.
and he would not be likely 20 suppose
that any Seattle merchant would need
70 be reminded OF these facts. What he
suggests is that the packages shall be
OF a standard size and weight, both for
convenience in handling and in deter
mining dues for packing or landing.
the merchants must work together II
the trade is 20 be held together. They
need 70 know what others are doing
here and elsewhere, what plans arc BE-
ing adopted TO make trade more at
tractive az other places than Seattle.
and this can best be done by a compari-
son Of views and information at the
weekly meetings Of the Chamber OF
Commerce.
