The people Of washington are aecus-
TONED to the airy psrsifage in which
Congressman Lewis Is prone 20 indulge.
and We are, therefore. not astoanded
at his gratuisous advertisement OF HIM
SELF In a volcanic congressional speech
as an officer Of the Washington Nation
al Guard. When Eugene Semple was
governor Of the territory Of Washing
ton he thought II proper to display on
his personal stan the rare excite just
imported from the chivalrous South
and he acquired Lieutenant-coione
Lewis. The colonel made . sensational
public appearance at the time Of the
Seattle fire, and he burst forth In gor-
geous spiendor rivaied only by the great
connagration. The memory Of the mag
nificent impression he made on the
public mind. including his own. On that
momentous occasion st!li fingers with
the colonel: and he has never been able
successfully TO resist the chronic delu-
sion that he Is an iiluss-ious military
figure. born for conquest and CORY
achievement. and that his distinguished
services have so endeared him to the
popular heart that he is per Sc whole
national guard. He knows he ought to
be general, and therefore he Is.
His appreciatiye constituents also
have profound reason to be proud of
the notoriety achieved by this modern
Alcibiades, and to know that his glories
are but the rejection OF their own. As
an aspiring military chieftain he has
received widespread notice in the East
ern press. which never fails to proclaim
the fact that to the great state Of
Washington is the world at large In
debted for the ineffable spectacle Of his
scintiilating genius. It is true that
neither congress. the nation nor the
newspapers have as yet been able to
discover that the ambitious state OF
Washington deserves special credit or
commentator for producing a states
man and warrior OF such eminent
qualities. and they are disposed to ques-
ton the Judgment and reason of peo-
pie who suffer themselves to be repre-
scented in that spectacular fashion; but
think of the fine free advertisement
we are getting, anyway. The nation
lives to learn. So. perhaps, will We.

The Kaleidoscope OF International pol
ities may. within q short time, present
new and rather startling spectacular
change. A brief dispatch contains in q
few words q suggestion OF profound
significance. II is intimated that there
is possibility Of an alliance between
the United States. Great Britain ana
the German Empire. II has been evil
dent that since the failure OF Lord Sal
isbury's hint to Russia that old scores
might be wiped out and a new policy of
harmony established between the Rus
sian and the British empires, the Eng
iish cabinet has turned Its attention
once more 10 Germany. The German
emperor has manifested signs of impa-
thence and chagrin at the minor part
he has been compelled TO play In the
scheme OF Russian ACKNOWLEDGMENT in
the Orient. This has been aggravated
by the feeling displayed I'm France
against Germany and the evidence that
an alliance between France. Germany
and Russia could not be permanent be-
cause their interests must clash
The only indication so far Of the least
approach to better understanding be-
tween Germany and England is that
afforded by dispatch I'm which the
German emperor congratulated Great
Britain upon the success of her CAM
paign in the Soudan. It will be remem-
bered how important a part another
little dispatch played in European pol
iiics when the emperor telegraphed his
congratulations TO President Kruger,
Of the Transvaai, when ne showed de-
fiance of English authority. The Eng
lish people were much gratified at the
compliment paid by the emperor's ac-
ener's splendid achievement. Taking
advantage OF that popular sentiment. IL
is not at all improbable that the Eng
iish cabinet has opened the way Tor
more friendly relations with Germany.
Readers Of the newspaper cannot fall
to have observed the veering around of
the German Official press TO the side of
the United States In reference 70 the
Spanish war. We have yet only seen
the most trifiing evidence on the sur
face OF unaercurrents which seem 10 be
setting in toward this new ,riparts,e
alliance.
Germany r., OF course. aetuated by
selfish motives. II would be naturally

SEATTLE, SATURDAY, APRIL 30.
A. AssAY OFFICE Fon SEATTLE.

The bin providing for the establish
mert OF an assay office at Seattle.

been faysrably reported by the com
mfttee OF the house. TO which IT was

that II wiIi result In large quantity
of geld coming into the United States
which otherwise might be diverted at

When miners bring In their gold to
Seattle as the first deporting point in
the United States. they have to trust to
private enterprise TO buy their gold or
send II to San Francisco or Heisna.
each OF which Is several days Journey
from here. and thus much valuable
time n lost There h also the double
risk involved In the transportation TO
either OF those places and then back
70 Seattle. Many miners are men of
limited experience. and they are doubt
ful about parting with their gold Cor
which they can only receive an an.oIn;
based upon . rough estimate or Its
value. They are suspicious that they
may not receive the fun value fer their
nuggets. The establishment OF an as
say office at Seattle would afford tham
an assurance that they would promptly
be furnished with an exact accounting
and that they would receive the very
highest price at the least possible cast.
An assay office takes the nuggets.
which are always more or less charged
with baser metals. separates the gold
from them. and returns 1t with GER
tificate of It's weight and fineness whose
authority makes the stamp Of that
value as unquss,ionable as the mint
stamp en- five dollar gold piece.
Many returning Rlondikers have gone
on to San Francisco for no other reason
than that they could get such a guar
antee of the value OF the results Of
